Skyfire Browser Questions/Issues - HTC Excalibur

does anyone use the beta version of SKYFIRE browser? i heard its the best browser out there yet
and also you can edit the joggr to scroll up and down on websites right?

Hmm
Interesting!!!
Yet still a skeptic when it comes to giving out my phone #. Also, it goes with the remote server which is a no no for password sites. It would be fun to try it but also limit you.

well yeah but there has been reviews of the browser as well as interviews with the creator of the skyfire browser on youtube
people are waiting for it to release the official version
from the videos, i can tell that its easily the easiest browser to surf the web with on a windows mobile phone

That's just it...many will wait for a final release if they keep their word and won't charge for it. They are hoping big wig mobile companies will pick it up. Keep the middle men happy and still make it a successful browser.

i signed up for the beta last night. cant wait to try it. looks like it could be cool.

I wonder how easy it will be to use without the touch screen or stylus (IE, with the Dash/Excalibur).

I tried to join their beta 1 before. After giving their my phone #, they sent me a SMS messenger saying they have enough beta tester already.

I joined up with them some 5-6 months ago, and yet i havent been invited to either beta....so perhaps someone with a copy could post it?

Good afternoon.Could anyone upload SKYFIRE?

there is no cracked version available because all internet data is transmitted through skyfire where they authenticate the user and deliver the optimized mobile content.

skyfire browser over 5.99 proxy

Ditto...........

i wish someone knew the answer...

to be honest i dont think a lot of people here have it. if you got it working over wifi post some screens of it or a review or something, let us in on it

i just use this internet3.voicestream.com and name it T-Mobile Web And its good for whatever and i figure that out by myself ... so give it a try and oh yea tha connection is the internet ,,no auto detect ..... and its also good for all operas..

Can you elaborate on these settings? Do you have skyfire and it works with these changes? Are they different or additions to the standard tzone proxy?
My review as i just tried it a bit at home yesterday was that it is much better than opera and IE. I recently tried Opera and i still find myself using the 6.1 IE instead because the fonts and the screen is just much better.
Now if i had skyfire working, i would use that all the time. it is so nice to see the complete web page available. I think it definitely competes with the IPHONE's browser, if not surpasses it. I have no problems with my information showing up on their proxy servers, because how much information are you going to be passing through them, its not like im going to do online banking on my phone. load times were fairly fast, but i was on wifi, don't know what edge will be like.
As far as streaming video, it does work. i went to mlb.com and saw the video play which is cool, however, it does studder a bit when playing, not as smooth as through a pc. but overall, it definitely is an advance in the right direction.

Al Right I'll Explain ......
First : Delete Alll Proxies.....( No Need For Proxies )
Second : Go to Connections.. Create A New Connection Under GPRS..---> Name It ..T-Mobile Web. As It Is.. Access point Is ..internet3.voicestream.com.. no username no password .....matter of fact . just put that in and done!!!.
Third & Final : Go to what ever browser your using (try internet explorer first) go to menu >tools>optoins>Connections.... uncheck box ... Network>>>The Internet.. Now You should Your Page And Now You Can Breathe Now...LOL Your Welcome

That is sweet browser. It works for me both Wifi and Cellular network.
I have been using for about a week. I had sporadic problems using Edge with LVWS Rom and now with the Cingular 2.0 Black Rom I have no problems.......so far
Thanks for posting this, works great. Have to say it makes reading the forum easier from my phone. Using it to post this reply.
yeah, must agree, except that it does not work on some sites, this browser is head and shoulders above the rest. Great for reading.
Great
This is a great browser - nice and slick.
Plus it seems to be better for viewing PDF's than any other viewer i've tried

Not just SEEMS to be better at viewing PDF's, it is faster and slicker than any other PDF software and everyone should install it for the PDF capabilities alone - it is a bonus that it is a great web browser and views files of many different types
I've tried to install/re-install the program in main memory and Storage card. But tried to launch the Picsel Browser - keep getting "Initialisation Failure". Can anyone help ????
Might make a good pdf viewer, but its a piece of sh*t for a browser...works, but too much funky zoom/pan bs.
I absolutely love this application.
has anyone tried to login to myspace with this browser? It seems that this browser cuts part of the webpage, the part where I would login !

Yup, I have the same issue. Its a nice browser, fast and all but has some problems with rendering full page.
yeah, I definitely like the concept Of this browser. If the rendering problem could be fixed, I would dump opera mini and netfront in a heartbeat!
i like this app too, really nice.
someone has tried to browse a youtube video? i think this are flash movies, so i have installed flashplayer 7 (adobe(macromedia)), but the site alwayr return: Hello, you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Flash Player.
anyone knows how to solve this problem?

sweet!
Thanks guys, brings me back to the Sony UX50 days, a very capable browser.
I found out that the browser can only reach internet by using WIFI. when i tried to use cellular line, it did not work.
any idea to solve this? the software is very very good....

The best way IMHO is Sling Mobile:

You'll need a slingplayer and a TV subscription at home. It works great - use it all on the time on my Dash.
Skyfire and Justin.tv works for me.
a hope this help you

They offer lot of free live TV streams from many countries for PC and Smart Phones.

Email and flash?

Hello all,
I'm a noob in winmo and smart phones. Didn't want a smart phone until the start of the year where my business started to get busy. I needed to respond to clients sooner even when I'm on the road. I did not want to get an iphone as I did not want to be just another guy who has it. lol.
I almost bought a palm pre but did not like the keyboard I looked at nokia smart phones but didn't like it either. I then saw the TP2's keyboard and fell inlove with it.
Not knowing what winmo is but I was set to get this phone. I am so glad I waited for this phone because it passed my expectations and the fact that I found this website (checking it everyday now), this phone will do what I need it to do and entertain me (tweaks) for quite some time.
Anyway, that is my intro. I have questions regarding email and flash using IE.
I have 2 email accounts setup on my phone. My first account (gmail) doesn't have an email at all. I received couple of emails 2 days ago and I'm surprised to see that its not there anymore. My wife's iphone can see all the messages in the gmail server even the sent mails. Is there a way to have that same setup on our phones?
And lastly, my understanding is that IE has flash support, however when I was looking at a website that has a flash video, all I see is the flash icon with "9". Can someone steer me to the right direction?
I know this is quite long but thank you very much for your time. I am really enjoying my first ever smart phone, winmo and this awesome website. I hope I can contribute to this site in the near future

Thank you very much for the email settings and thank you for the link.. That's really what I wanted, something to read and understand it on my own.
Have a good one.

WillardZ:
Thanks again for the link.. I realized that I've already read the page page that you linked, so did you mean that I need to flash my stock rom and use another install another rom to have the ability to view flash websites?
I am actually trying to wait for this guy to make a bloatware remover on Tilt2 before messing with other ROMs (as much as I want my phone to be very fast)
Thanks
niM
Have you tried using Opera Mobile instead of IE on the site? I find that that Opera usually plays flash videos better than IE, even though they use the same flash plugin. For example, YouTube plays fine on Opera, but shows the 9 in place of a video on IE.
As for the page previously linked to by WillardZ, I think he thought you were talking about flashing ROMs. There is no requirement I am aware of to flash a new ROM for browser flash support, unless there is no flash at all included in your ROM (not the case here), in which case you could flash to one that does. I hope that clarifies it for you.
DaveTheTytnIIGuy:
Thank you very much for clarifying that.. I tried using opera mobile on www.videosbyccp.com The main page has flash video and I can't even see the flash icon, its completely blank..
I'm going to try to download skyfire and I hope that works..
Thank you once again..
niM
Dave or anyone,
You said you can view youtube videos no problem using opera. However, mine says ..
"Hello, you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Adobe's Flash Player. Download flash player"
I checked my opera setting and javascript is checked the whole time. So obviously some of my settings are different from yours and I hope you or anyone would like to help me.
I installed skyfire, although my wife can play farmville (very laggy), I'm hating the crappy display..
Thank you very much.

Truly embarrassing problem.

Hi folks.
Did a search on this but no cigar. The manual keeps this a big secret as well so here goes:
I can't, for the life of me, figure out how to save webpages to the phone. I flat out refuse to believe it shouldn't be possible. I'm positive there is a little trick I haven't tried yet. Even old WM6, being about as stable & reliable as the Greek national economy, had this feature. I don't travel by plane very often but when it happens I usually spend the time on board reading pre-downloaded webpages from a couple of writer sites. The GPRS connection over the north Atlantic tends to be a tad unstable ;-). The browser menu doesn't show this option anywhere that I can see.
Someone please bring me out of my misery and tell me where the function is hidden.
Regards
ELO.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Hit the menu button then add bookmark? Sorry if i miss-understand your question.
So menu--more--save page isn't an option to save the page?
It seems to work fine to me.
-----
Someone Swyped my idea.
I think what they're asking is "is there a way I can download a webpage so I can view it offline later?"
Try Opera Mobile browser. It implemented such a function to allow you save pages and browse them offline.
Sent via psychic transmittion.
Hi y´all & thanks for the interest.
@ equlizer:
If i get the works of this then, what your´e suggesting, only saves the page address. When i´m off-line e.g. on a plane i can only view the page if it has been saved in its intire form.
@ dr.m0x:
This would do the trick nicely, exept i don´t have that menu option. Under menu-more i have: Home, Find on page, text selection, page info, share page, Downloads, History, and finally settings.
I´m running stock ROM 1.32.405.3 rooted.
@ Dazultra2000:
That is exactly what i´m asking. Thanks for claryfying.
@ Teroz:
That is an option of course. I just couldn´t bring my self to believe the feature wasn´t there. Dr.m0x appears to have a menu option that i´m missing. I dunno. Maybe there´s something fishy i my ROM, but everything else seems to be humming along nicely.
Regards
Elo.
I'm running the newest 1.86 and don't have that option.
Firefox mobile has it, it saves the webpage to a PDF file. Fx itself is a tad unstable as it is in a test phase, but the save-to-pdf function works pretty well.
I'm on 1.72 and definitely have that option in the stock browser. I also have Dolphin Browser HD installed as my default browser so maybe that is the reason I have the extra functionality. Not prepared to remove it to confirm though.

Like better than my SGS2 EXCEPT FOR THIS which I HATE

And this has always been a thing with me:
Samsung has industry leading screens but they then DUMB DOWN THE WEB PAGE DISPLAYS TO MOBILE!
At least with my International galaxy S2 I could use a third party browser and change the useragent to desktop.
The Epic 4G Touch DOESN'T EVEN LET YOU DO THAT. F***!
Sound like I'm yelling? GOOD!
WTF SAMSUNG/SPRINT. DON'T YOU THINK THATS PARTLY WHY SOME FOLKS WANT A FREAKIN 4'5" SCREEN....TO ENJOY FULL PAGE DISPLAYS.
Damn. Gotta decide if this is a dealbreaker.
I know a developer will be able to mod this.
(You know the Charge has a useragent setting).
I KNOW I can scroll down and opt for the desktop. Don't wanna have to do that evwrytine.
Btw, I don't use the addressbar useragent script. It doesn't stick and is a pain.
What about Dolphin HD?
wow, I really hope this isnt actually a deal breaker for you.
It's the same way with my Galaxy Tab, and it's a Sprint thing, not Samsung. Certain sites (like NYT) will not go desktop on Sprint despite the user agent setting. Reportedly, you could get it to go to the full site on Verizon by changing the user agent. This did not apply to all sites, just the ones that did not want you to go to the full site on mobile devices.
Well tried boat browser and dolphin HD mini and htc's Maxthon..same
I suppose its a way for carrier to save data load...
I do a lot of work on the go in part working with web sites. This sucks.
Hopefully we'll get it modded.
did u try type ‘about:useragent’ in the browser? works for me on my gsII

But you have to keep typing it in if you close the browser right?
I always use Dolphin HD. Give that a try.
No go on either Dolphin.
Never seen a disabling of this that includes 3rd party browsers.

I believe the tablets do the same thing on Sprint.
so u cant get any webpages to display in desktop mode?? because i just tried it in skyfire, and got the following webpages to load as desktop (they did NOT load mobile):
xda
engadget
yahoo
facebook
cnn
tried on sprint 3g first, and then on wifi (dunno if that makes difference), but it worked on both
So... I just installed Dolphin HD and switched the useragent to desktop and it worked fine...sounds like user error
The user agent change works for most webpages. But certain sites like espn and nyt don't, because they don't want you to. If you deep link, it will go to the desktop page (like "espn.com/nfl"), but the mainpage is mobile only and totally sucks ass.
On my old EVO, in the EPST settings, you could remove the Sprint Proxy from the network config and not have anything filtered.
This is my first Samsung device, so I'm not sure if EPST exists or how to edit those settings.
You had to remove the HTTPPDProxy
I just tried about:debug. Got alot of extra settings but didn't see anything to change the useragent or desktop mode
Edit: never mind i forgot it was about:useragent

I was wondering about that myself being from a string of HTC devices. I swore off Samsung after the moment, the NS4G kinda doesn't count software wise...
...the NS4G, hardware wise, is what convinced me that this is a serious contender and likely winner in this round of superphones....which is almost over, we'll get recess and the new Nexus device in a few months and then late winter is preseason.
Come to think of it if you were to graph that out the Nexus truly would be the, well, nexus...I think I just derped.
