Once installed whether to storage or main, just do a soft rsest and it should auto rotate.

I am still messing around with it. I dont know if I should go ahead and make my default yet. The rendering speed is slower than the stocked Opera but I much favor the built in flash for web videos.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Mektah:
yummy

Loved skyfire from day 1, loving it more now that it supports better resolution. Rendering not as good as Opera, but that's expected for now, built-in flash works great still, but that's the advantage of cloud rendering. Typing works much smoother, wait time between skyfire sending data to server then back to your phone is much better. As far as mem usage goes, I think what they did with 1.5 is move some of the operations to your phone. Before with skyfire it was exclusively being processed on their servers. I think now things like putting in username and passwords are handled by the phone and sent in one swoop vs having to wait after you put in username, then wait after password and such. Also I've noticed that you can easily move from one field to the next. You used to have to re-tap each blank field, now it automatically moves the cursor and you can start filling it in immediately. Definitely a better browser. Maybe number one if they add tabs. I haven't made it default because of that. Unfortunately I'm out of the US so further testing isn't possible at the moment, but once I'm back I'll look at it more. So far the big face of is Opera tabs vs Skyfire built in flash.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] heygrl:
Much, much more faster than Opera or IE. Of course the pages don't look as good but they're still good.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] MCbrian:
This new release inspired me to install Skyfire again -- I hadn't been including it in my "UC" configuration, so hadn't used it in a while as I flash new custom roms.

For me, the great advantage of Skyfire is how well it handles embedded video (and similar content) that other browsers don't handle well or at all. I stream live .wmv video from my backyard-birdfeeder-cam, and even PIE doesn't support this MS-format video -- but Skyfire does.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] eboy44:
how can i set skyfire to be my default web browser from the Manilla interface?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Showtime7:
What ROM and Manila version do you have?

I have the official 6.5 upgrade for US T-Mobile (Timor version) and it opens Skyfire automatically from the internet tab after using Skyfire's setting to make it default.

There is a Manila file you can edit that will change all the internet tab settings for the T-Mobile stock Manila version I know, because that was how I edited it then.

So I guess it depends on what you're running.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Shasarak:
Silence

I was having a play with Skyfire 1.5 yestersday. I found it played the video component of Flash videos correctly, but that there's no sound! :( Has anyone else encountered and fixed this? I'm running the standard HTC version of the WM6.5 ROM.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] eboy44:
the rom i have is the deepshining rom...nevermind i went and reset it to be the default and it just worked...thanks anyways
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Mektah:
Try soft reset and re-launch, that worked for me.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] maggreg:
I use Skyfire in Poland but every search results is showing in Netherlands Google
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] fortunz:
It might also help to know which site's flash videos gave you the issue. Not all implementations are created equal.

I notice, on a sort of related note, that on thewb.com, sometimes the video and audio get out of sync. I'm not sure if this is a general skyfire thing or not, but I've always found thewb's flash player to be a little quirky, so I plan to test some other sites this weekend.

Skyfire has a server side and a client side--the browser itself doesn't actually support flash, the server grabs the content, converts it to something skyfire client friendly, and then transmits it to you. Google might be detecting where your skyfire server is instead of where you are.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Shasarak:
I was looking at some of the video news reports at http://news.bbc.co.uk
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] fortunz:
BBC has audio for me, and no loss of sync either. If the other recommendations don't work for you, I'd recommend (at the risk of saying something obvious) checking both the volume level on your winmo and the bbc flash player's audio (I haven't had a lot of luck activating/altering player controls like volume, but best to be sure) to make sure they are turned up.

Barring that, I'd uninstall skyfire and reinstall a freshly downloaded version.

Let us know what happens.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] simonmills:
Problems connecting to Skyfire with T-mobile (UK)

When I install this new version of Skyfire, it installs properly but as soon as the program loads I immediately get an error message saying:

"Cannot connect to Skyfire. Skyfire requires a full, unrestricted internet connection. You most likely have an incompatible network setting (APN) or data plan.

Please contact your mobile operator for a data plan and configuration that supports:

TCP connections with SSL (port 443)

UDP traffic (for audio)

Note: Depending on your mobile operator, Skyfire may not work with your standard WAP Gateway network configuration."

I rang T-mobile and they were ridiculously unhelpful saying that they didn't support Skyfire and then twice refused to even talk me through my connection settings to check that they were correct.

If anyone can get Skyfire 1.5 to work on t-mobile in the UK please let me know some settings!

:eek:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] agent.m:
Have had it working on my topaz for ages. Would be helpful to know if u have tmobile web n walk or whatever it's called now. Also there is a cab on here called tmobile fixed should be perfect for settings I use it all the time. I'm in bed ATM but will give skyfire a try to see if I have same prob
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] agent.m:
Yeah. Like I said. I tested skyfire. It works for me.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] mikkymouse:
Just like the Opera 10... The new skyfire eats up memory... NOT SATISFIED... its on 93% on my phone,,, when i want to leave the browser without closing it,,, it automatically closes it because it ran out of memory... got a memory issue on my tp2 after my 6.5 upgrade :confused:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Sweet Lowdown:
Thanks for the heads up
[Android Apps and Games] roadrunnerx7:

[Android Apps and Games] magicalan:
somebody has to leak it 1!!!1
[Android Apps and Games] roadrunnerx7:
apparently chances of that are low... but!!! now theyve announced that opera mini 5 is coming soon!!! anybody have that yet??
[Android Apps and Games] tbaker077:
I was using Opera Mini 5 beta on WM6.1 and it was good, but it felt a bit too mobile. Every page I went on was loading in mobile mode, an sites with flash never loaded properly for me. I had a slide out keyboard, and I am sure it was a beta issue, but it was forcing me use the on screen keyboard. It was decent, but on a 2.8in screen felt very cramped. Opera 10 beta on the other hand loaded a bit slower to start up and web page loading was noticeably slower. However, web pages loaded more normal for me. That was on WM6.1 on a decently speedy device, on Android things could be a whole different story.
[Android Apps and Games] roadrunnerx7:
well i think either one, will be the best browser for android so far. mainly i like it because of that amazing speed in loading pages! even 4.2 is fast and i'd use that except the UI is horrible...
[Android Apps and Games] Evoce:
Opera mini5 (beta) was the best browser while I was using winmobile devices!

The interface was clever, the way it handled tabs was genius, it was sooo damn fast and the fact that you could go back in your browsing history without the browser reloading the page from the scratch was damn useful. I so hate that on the android browser (well, on actual browsers in general).

I'm really looking forward to the android-version but I'm afraid it won't support the hardware-keyboard of my G1 =(
[Android Apps and Games] tbaker077:
So, is there any compelling reason to use Opera Mobile 10 over the Android browser? Will HTC flash work with Mobile 10? I can see a reason to use Mini 5 as that is a fast browser, and is fairly light. However, I can't see any reason to use Mobile 10 other than preference.
[Android Apps and Games] Evoce:
Well, if Opera 10 should support a double-tap to zoom feature I will for sure use it over the android one. I absolutely dont like those 2 zooming buttons floating all over the content which only appear once I start scrolling.
[Android Apps and Games] fastludeh22:
Sorry not to get ot, but we took care of the stock browser a long time ago, check it out: WWW.xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=551119

To the op, this does look like it might be pretty nice, how ever always been happy with the modded stock, or a hero browser. Any idea on what phone is gonna have this as oem firest?
[Android Apps and Games] followinginsanity:
Opera 10 for android looks amazing. if you watch the video preview of it. Right now the best browser for android is the Dolphin Browser though. .. ooh and windows mobile people.. Skyfire is the only way to go.
[Android Apps and Games] tbaker077:
Which video are you referring to?

Maybe I am not really getting it but what advantage does Opera Mobile have over the Android browser? I loved Opera on my WM device and I can understand using it based on preference. However, with the Android browser working the way it does, isn't it a bit redundant? Or again maybe I am not getting it?
[Android Apps and Games] dubbeld00:
The browser has better support for CSS/HTML/JavaScript...

You can see the differences between the browsers on:

http://www.quirksmode.org/m/css.html

and

http://www.quirksmode.org/m/table.html

Please note that the Nokia E66 browser matches the new Opera 10 beta the most. The other version is 9.5 which is already a year old. I'm really waiting for a Opera 10 release on android, since the android browser has some shortcomings when you want to create mobile websites (I shall spare you the details).
[Android Apps and Games] tbaker077:
I guess I will have to try it out when it comes outs to see the differences. It's to bad they don't add the proxy features of Opera Mini on Mobile.
[Android Apps and Games] magicalan:
is it out yet?! :[
[Android Apps and Games] roadrunnerx7:
its the speed!!! look do this

go to the market and download the current opera mini 4.2

once installed get a timer or something and go to any website(including this one if you want, just make sure you go to exactly the same page)

time it

now go to the same page with the android browser.

you should see a HUGE speed difference. im not exactly sure how opera does this, but i heard once it has something to do with a compression method that opera uses that makes pages load very quickly!

all in all, i have no idea how opera does it, i just know that its FAST. and definitely faster than the android browser. i really dont care that its opera i just care abuot that speeeeeed!
[Android Apps and Games] tbaker077:
Yes, I agree about Opera Mini, but I am referring to Opera Mobile.
[Android Apps and Games] roadrunnerx7:
well supposedly also opera mini is made for any mobile phone? i think. but opera mobile is made spcifically for more advanced smartphones. like you cant use opera mobile on some cheapy flip phone. but you probably could use opera mini on it. i THINK. im probably wrong or idk i dont really care i just want a better browser than the slow android one. either that or the faster 3g from tmobile.. but i think even then the browser would still be slow..
[Android Apps and Games] legend221:
Having tried alot of different browsers through the span of my cell phones I believe Opera Mini is the fastest but it may have to do with the mobile view of the websites.

Dolphin is also very good.. I like that its theme able and its relatively fast.

I'm also anxious in the official release of Opera Mobile 10... it will have other features and will be most likely fix the problem of opera mini loading pages as mobile and not full version as in a desktop or laptop would display.
[Android Apps and Games] tedkoly:
opera mini, opera mobile, android stock brower, and dolphin

Mini

Mini works so fast b/c it uses server side compression to make the page content much smaller. there are obvious limitations to this method and it reduces what you can do on any given site pretty severely. A welcome trade-off however, if you are already using a basic mobile device, basically anything other than a winmo, android, iphone class device. And mini is a great secondary browser for one of these devices too, when speed is valued over interaction with the sites features.

Mini is also based on a java platform so it runs on everything from a basic flipphone running symbian to a android / winmo pocket pcs.

Opera Mobile

Mobile is a "real" mobile web browser and is developed as a replacement for the manufacturers stock browser. It is platform specific and therefore the agoniing wait for it on various platforms. Winmo got it mobile 10 beta like a six - twelve months ago and it had been in the works for a looooong time. can't wait to get it on my droid.

it still uses server side compression but not to the extent that mini does. i do not pretend to understand the finer points of this topic.

Dolphin, et.al.

all of the "other" mobile browsers available for android currently are just variations / rebuilds of the stock browser. they are not built from the ground up. so you may see some speed improvements, new features, etc. But what we're really talking about here is a different flavors of the same product not an entirely new program.
[Android Apps and Games] shagrath78:
I wouldn't hold my breath on this one... It's very likely that Opera Mobile is using private APIs (remember the "platform limitations" they were talking about), hence the fact it's only available to the rom makers
[Android Apps and Games] roadrunnerx7:
anyone get a leak yet on opera mobile or mini 5?
[Android Apps and Games] pjcforpres:
You can run Opera Mini 5.0 Beta on your android device if you have Java... ie any of the Hero's and many of the donut and eclair roms. As well, IIRC you can download Jave framework's from the Market to enable Java support.
[Android Apps and Games] jmaurice:
This feature already exists, it's called Opera Turbo.
[Android Apps and Games] jmaurice:
The webkit browser included with Android simply doesn't fit all needs and use-cases. Opera will work with OEM partners to customize and optimize Opera Mobile for their specific device.
[Android Apps and Games] jmaurice:
Opera Mobile 10 has been released to OEM partners, so it will probably be included pre-installed on a new device running Android in the future.
[Android Apps and Games] ben.cordy:
I used mini 5 for a while, was blisteringly fast and generaly very well designed however there is no option for setting it as default, had it done id have kept it on my phone and used as default. Looking forward to 10 tho! someone leak it!

ps anyone know a way of setting an app as default without the app having an internal setting.

[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] hokiemiata:
I want it to activate the data connection only when there is new mail on the exchange server, and then disconnect after the message is retrieved. Can this even be done given that the only way the mobile know that there is an email waiting on the server is being "poked" by the server through an IP connection.

Note that I am NOT asking for the activesync setting that synch's with the xchange server every 5/10/15/20/n minutes. I know about that and dont want to use that (that would be a pull, Im using push".

Anyone?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Bruce Inman:
Search for No Data.cab. It has this functionality but I have not tested on Topaz.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] koen-ronse:
Doesn't that block the connection totally? He wants to receive the mails, but auto-disconnect between the connections...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Bruce Inman:
No, "NoData" shuts the connection off when not in use, otherwise you could just turn off your data connection.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] koen-ronse:
Because it says:

This applicatiopn allows you to Toggle the state of your data connections, ideal for roaming...

So, I really think it close the connection for everything you select (Px Internet, Px Live, Px MMS, PX Push).

We shall know if hokiemiata has tryed it... ;)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] hokiemiata:
Havnt tried it yet because I dont think it is what I am looking for.

How do I "Undo" this CAB if I dont like it?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Bruce Inman:
Sorry All,

THIS was the program I was thinking of, I had the 2 mixed up.

No Data is only good for timed syncs.

All changes revert back after uninstall.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] koen-ronse:
Start - Settings - System - Remove Programs... Like all other cabs... ;)

Edit: have tryed it for you. Doesn't work: Error Synchronising. Connot connect with current connection settings.

Looks better... ;)

Hope it works also for WM higher than 6.1 (haven't read everything)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Bruce Inman:
I haven't tested because I don't use it.

my t-mobile touch pro 2 only allow me to set up one hotmail e-mail account a time, so i need to log out one and sign in again to check other hotmail e-mail. is there away i can set up and view 2 or more hotmail at the same time?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] buzz83:
Don't use MSN Messenger or Windows Live to create Hotmail Accounts

Don't use MSN to create the account... set it up manually in Pocket Outlook (and don't let it look for settings). To do this you might need to put a different domain for your email address in the first box when creating an account and then ammend it later.

Then use Hotmail/Live/MSN pop3 & Smtp settings:

Incoming Server (POP3 Server): pop3.live.com

Incoming Server POP SSL Encryption: Yes (On or Required)

Outgoing Server (SMTP Server): smtp.live.com

Outgoing Server Authentication: Yes (On – Use POP username and password or Hotmail credentials)

Outgoing Server TLS or SSL Secure Encrypted Connection: Yes (On or Required)

User Name: Windows Live ID (e.g. yourname@hotmail.com)

Password: password used to sign in to Hotmail or Windows Live service
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] dik23:
Or what about System Seven?

I use it and I believe it'll let you set up multiple accounts with multiple flavours and will push your emails so they arrive like sms, live.

VERY easy to set up and use. All you have to do is enter your address and password. Only down side is that it occasionally forgets Hotmail (but not other providers in my experience) passwords. But you just have to type it in again.

But it's beta, so it's not meant to be perfect. But it is free and I definitely recommended it.

Google it

[HD2 General] paultje_007:
HTC think about it, we don't mind a bit thicker when we can get this technology build in!

Oh yeah, and winmobile 7 please...

(this is not a real phone, it's the HD2 made bigger, not larger but fatter, with photoshop, to highlight the possibility to attach a PicoP (now available as PEK for business tryouts) and the extra room for battery capacity -> for running the PEK)
[HD2 General] bayowar:
Speak for yourself, I wouldn't want it any bigger.
[HD2 General] Shasarak:
Given how much effort HTC put into making the HD2 as thin as possible (low capacity battery, no front-facing camera, etc.) they clearly think you are the only person in the world who doesn't mind it being thicker and heavier. I doubt you will change their minds.
[HD2 General] Karlos G:
Yeah nor me!

If i wanted a fat phone I would of bought the N900! lol :D
[HD2 General] paultje_007:
Come on, it wouldn;t be that much bigger....

Maybe 3mm????

If they are going to bring out a Pro version, with maybe a keypad, than I'd rather have a picop than a keypad.

Having a touch pro at the moment, I dont mind this thickness.

With a screen that big, and a slightly bigger version like mentioned above, I reckon it wouldn't change that much in pocket space than I now experience with my Touch pro.

And if I had one, I wouldn;t do anything else in my pocket to prevent scratching! :-)

HTC Rules!!!

And i'm not really sure if WinMo7 would be real advantage - Microsoft is definitely going wrong way.

I don't want another beautiful system with limitations on every step. If i ever be stupid enough to pay to be controlled - i'll buy iPoo.

Nokia knows what is going on - N900 has no locks, no limits - system is open and your phone is all yours!

I don't want stupid app store with millions apps and 99.99% of apps in store is complete crap.

All WinMo need is some improvement - full touch-ready UI, better WLAN management etc. And that's all
