Skyfire has always been a browser with outstanding functionality, but when it came to appearance it always lagged browsers like Opera Mobile.

No more however, as version 1.5 brings a more attractive, finger-friendly browser that makes better use of our VGA and WVGA screens.

The latest version features:

* Full VGA Support. Skyfire now provides native support for the VGA and wVGA resolutions as seen on many recent Windows Mobile phones.

* Smooth Scrolling. Kinetic scrolling has been added to Skyfire. Flick and you will see that scrolling has become very smooth.

* Finger friendly UI. There are many UI updates to enable finger friendliness, increase the ease of use and add a bit of fun to the Skyfire experience. We updated as well the start page to be simpler-to-use with high-resolution devices

* Full screen mode. For touch screens we have a mode that will completely remove all UI elements from the screen to provide maximum visibility onto the page. Tap the bottom right corner to bring back the toolbar.

* Auto-Move text entry. This keeps any text entry box visible when the virtual keyboard is used. This convenient feature assures that web site forms are easy to use, in case the SIP (i.e., virtual keyboard) covers it.

* Latest versions of Flash 10 and Silverlight. 1.5 has been updated to the newest and most stable versions of both rich-media formats.

* Performance enhancements. Both Skyfire’s client and servers have been upgraded for faster, more responsive browsing.

Yeah its aight. For sure better then last version of skyfire but its still skyfire imo. Doesnt beat opera mobile 9.7 though, thats the shizzle right there! You can tell this is a wannabe right off the bat but doesnt even compare. Took me twice as long to get to this page on this version of skyfire compared to opera mobile 9.7. For skyfire lovers, theyll love this. For people who love opera mobile, theyll piss on this. For people who want a clean, sleek, fast windows based web browser, theyll easily choose opera mobile 9.7 over this, easily. Thanks for the info though, i still like to have 2 web browsers on my phone just as a backup and this is a good backup but not a replacement.

Does anyone knows how to get megavideo working? When I tap on the red button, its redirects me to the advertising popup. After pressing the back button, the red button is still there and won't turn green.

I can't seem to scroll down to the bottom portion of A_C page to download S2U2 using Sky Fire. Wonder why. After install, the keyboard doesn't show too, until a soft reset.

Skyfire is on par with Opera now imho.

I always found the quality and speed lacking when compared to Opera, but I am quite impressed with this version. :D

I am unable to view hulu with this version...

Hulu says this video is not availble with your platform :(

Edit: I was able to watch vids on hulu with previous versions.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TrYde:
Even though Opera 9 / 10 are great, Skyfire is still very useful when it comes to flash / silverlight and browsing large websites on a slow connection. This new version works great on HD2, I just wished they would disable the big fonts as it is already readable without zooming on the large screen.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rowedave76:
The problem is that Hulu does not want Skyfire distributing content for them to mobile devices. Skyfire's mobile browser uses Skyfire servers to get content to your phone. Hulu has a problem with this and has blocked those servers from streaming video.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mahender:
i have installed this and opera10 beta 2.

both are totally rocking.

fast, clear,

i love the fact skyfire is in vga now.

like somone else posted it is good to have both browsers.

both seem fast. not tried any flash stuff on opera.

but its good to be able to watch xhamster on skyfire and clearly. lol
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] captobie:
I must be doing something wrong with Skyfire. I've been using it since very early in the beta phase, but it has always been very sluggish for me. Everyone talks about how fast it is, but I find it takes forever to render pages on my Fuze. Whenever I scroll down the page I get that little checkerboard pattern and it usually takes 5-15 seconds for the page to display. I find Opera much faster for all my web browsing.

And while the newest version is more touch friendly than past versions, Opera is much better on that front as well.

Skyfire won't replace Opera as my default browser... unless someone shows me how I can make it as fast as everyone says it is.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Robin2:
Wow! So many improvements! It's faster, handles flash more easily, new UI and above all: Flick scrolling... finally :).

I can't watch shows on

Can't watch my CSI Miami shows on blinkx.com

Can't play my Season 9 scrubs episodes from abc.com

No southparkstudios.com

No hulu.com

Youtube at the beggining of a video does not sync properly when watching a video even though I'm on wifi.

Same problem with Break.com and College Humor.

imdb trailers do not work also.

The checker board scrolling/loading of pages is really starting to annoy.

On the bright side they are way ahead of other phone browsers when it comes to playing flash/media on a webpage so 2 thumbs up to that.

But Opera will stay my as a my main browser until this is fixed.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] peron:
From reading the messages here I thought this would be a good browser to try since it supports flash, javascript etc.

Except you cannot enter text in a flash text field, that function is not supported they say, maybe in future versions...

How moronic is that?

Uninstalled.

I've been using Skyfire since the early stages, the improvements of the new layout of this new 1.5 are very cool. But referred to the previous version i was using up until yesterday, it's way slower about displayin the page while i scroll it down. I've read some opinions of the web that say it could not be a problem of the new software itself, but it might be because of the very large amount of people that are tryin it out at the moment that slowed the Skyfire servers down. What's your opinion on it?

[Networking] dc41:
In the wifi setup in wm 6.5 (and others) there's a "Power" tab with a slider. "Best Battery" is on one side and "Best Performance" is on the other. What exactly does this setting adjust? Is it just the broadcast power level of the radio, or or other settings adjusted?

Thanks
[Networking] demonarundo:
I hope some one Answer ... ...
[Networking] davidguate:
I wonder that too.
[Networking] viz1977:
Battery consumption. Best Perf means max battery and so on.
[Networking] stephj:
On Best Battery, it will drop the power of the WiFi transmission until it starts to loose a few packets then bump it back up a fraction. The odd resent packet is the price you pay for a longer battery life.

Best Performance will run it at full power. No lost packets, but at the expense of the battery.

[Touch Cruise General] alanazar:
Hey Alex,

Just wanted to tell you thank you for your contribution i installed it yesterday and still working great. I love the new look!

One comment I would like to add and this is for the other developers; i've noticed that it's much faster when you click on the taskbar at the top and SO much more responsive! Whatever you did besides the graphics I can see a real improvement on speed!

Can other people please confirm they are having the same improvements on speed & responsiveness? If yes, then the cooks need to know this so they can use this in their ROMs or at least know how to improve the slow speed.

Thanks again Alex!

Best regards,

Alan
[Touch Cruise General] Alex-V:

sure...you can other cockers tell this.......

About the speed i don´t know....because i use this since i made rom´s and so i can not know this...but it´s cool if it is so :)

You can set it up for EVDA only, but where there is no 3G coverage you will get no data at all..... I wouldn't advise on this, keep it on hybrid
[Touch Pro CDMA] abrigham:
If you go to Start->Settings->Personal->Phone, then go the the Services tab, find Mode of Operation in the list and tap Get Settings, you can set it to EVDO only.

Now, keep in mind that your phone has to drop to 1x to receive phone calls and text messages, so while in EVDO only, you won't be able to get those. Also, if you move out of an EVDO coverage area, you will just lose signal completely.

If I recall, this option is not available on Stock ROM. At least, I don't remember seeing it until I installed a custom ROM. If you're on a stock ROM and don't have it, there's probably a Reg hack you can do to get it to show, but someone else will have to help you out on that one, cuz I'm not sure what it would be.
[Touch Pro CDMA] ruben1221:
I would just stick to what it is and leave it. Would be better for you. :)

No 3G coverage = no data

But thats my opinion. :cool:

Hidden "mode of operation"

Hey man,trythis; install a registry editor then..HKLM\Software\OEM\PhoneSetting\HiddenModeOperationPage

Change from 1 to 0

Save and soft reset

After resetting, go to:

Start > Settings > Phone > Services > Mode of operation

You will now have 3 choices, Hybrid (default), EVDO, and 1X. This is great for those stuck on the fringe areas of 1X and EVDO

It works on the Treo pro, might work on yours

I have mine rooted, there is something very interesting about the way Samsung did this. This phone has like 20 different partitionssee below, however I think I know how the phone is able to restore root and the recovery after boot. These 20 partitions include copies of each other. For example if you do su on terminal emulator and then you type "cat /proc/partitions" it will list all the partitions. Notice how some partitions have different labels but are the same size. These are the respective back ups(i think). The only partition that I know is "stl9" or "st9" is the system.

I tried flash_image recovery and said it wasn't a recognized partition as the BH2 also does not have mtd. cat /proc/mtd produces nothing. Hope this helps.

Oh 1 last thing it seems I may have found an exploit with the device management.apk. It has the option to run a bootloader/bootstrap test, could this be exploited to install customer recovery? Its just a thought...

Can someone with root, compile busybox for install on the Behold 2. I am sorry I only have Windows 7.

Terminal Output:

See the areas highlighted in BOLD. The G1 has half the number of partitions and mtd has output.

They are similar but for that method you need 'new PcStudio', which does not recognize the behold 2,.,..,.,.,

Finally some posts back. I thought no one was going to respond and I was going to delete this thread. So this is great news that we can now enter recovery mode. Also I know whats plauging the device with the battery issue. It seems the phone is reading the battery as 1440 mah and the battery is tagged 1500mah. This can be confirmed by using BetterCut and adding the shortcut Battery read.

ok so i was playing around with my samsung behold2 today, all i found was recovery mode (voldown+call+power) and fastboot (dpadleft+power). im currently installing the android sdk as we speak, after that will play around with this a bit more.
[Android Software Development] kam187:
We had a good look at this over at androidforums (behold and galaxy sub forums).

It seems they are using some secure bootloader, and those other partitions (which almost corespond in size) seem to be the original partition in a security container.

I had assumed that on boot if the main partition is modified it would simply reflash it. However we have now been able to 'persistant root' the phone. (check in the behold section on androidforums). We hijack the playlogo file, and insert the shell commands to execute the exploit executable on every boot. This happens after init.rc so making custom roms is going to be a bit of a headache.

Whats strange tho is why it doesnt recognise the system partition was changed when we mod playlogo. Perhaps it just wipes the bin and xbin directories and reextracts them. That would make life alot easier.

I was going to sell my galaxy and switch to a behold, but I couldnt find one cheap enough. So i've stopped looking at all this now.

Hope that helps anyway.
[Android Software Development] dan0zone:
well we have made some head way ..,,.,., we can now flash between builds for the behold2 via ODIN_flasher . For now we have two builds an older build and the one shipped with the phone .,.,.,. so what i think we need is a way to edit the .tar files within the flasher but keep the partition structure that samsung has in_place .,,,. What i have notice is that if you connect to ddms , and go to the system info tab or allocation tracker , you will see that samsung has renamed every thing as a kernel, even the browser .,.,., if we get our hands on sammy's build environment maybe we can make sense of their madness,.,.,..
[Android Software Development] kam187:
Odin isnt actually anything new. We've been using it with the galaxy for a while now.

The phones' bootloader contains a download mode, which also forwards to the AMSS's OEMBL in download mode. Odin simply forwards the files to this bootloader without doing anything clever. This is why you can take ANY update from NPS and apply it using odin as is.

We have tried flashing galaxy partitions onto the behold, but as i said in an earlier post there is a secure bootloader and it simply rejects the images.

I havnt downloaded this H6 leaked behold image, but it probably just contains yafs images, probably in a security container. You could unyaffs them, modify and yaffs them up again. Just modifying them is trivial. I'm pretty sure that the bootloader will just reject any modified images tho. Sorry but I don't think this is going to get you anywhere.

On a security unlocked phone like the galaxy we just edit the system or recovery images and flash them back using Odin. Similarly fastboot can also do it. On the behold however i'm pretty sure it wont accept anything that isnt signed.

The only interesting thing to try would be to try to flash the galaxy bootloader onto the behold using odin. We have both the arm9 and arm11 bootloaders if you'd like to try. This is VERY VERY VERY risky and in all likelyhood will brick your phone. But if it works you should be able to manage partitions simply like with the galaxy.

The very first thing you guys should look at is to compare the system image of the galaxy and the behold. Check if there is a security container around the behold one or not. If there is, attempt to exploit it (change length fields, change offsets, create oversized image - the usual stuff).

I think there are only 2 routes to acheive what you want:

- quick route

Use a userland exploit, like the current root. Then use the persisitant root idea to run a script which modified your filesystem on boot - possibly extracting a custom rom from the sdcard onto the system partition.

- Slow route

Try to find a flaw in the secure bootloader, or some other exploit to allow you to flash a modified bootloader.

You're idea of just editing the firmware files directly is really unlikely to work.
