Hello,
I just wanted to know if skyfire will work on the htc touch hd. Has anyone managed to get it working on their Touch HD. I installed it but get the usual windows error message, i.e it doesn't work on mine. Does it work on yours?
If you do manage to get it working, can you please check if bbc iplayer works on it fully with sound. i read somewhere on this forum that they got it working on their Mobile device but bbc iplayers sound did not work. this will be the best browser to go on bbc iplayer and watch other videos.
Please someone reply.
p.s I got so happy that this will work on the HD, but it doesn't. apparently there isn't a skin that supports the HD's screen. here's the website: http://get.skyfire.com/
Windows Mobile phones: Skyfire runs on Microsoft Windows 5, 6, and 6.1. We support VGA and QVGA screen resolutions. Skyfire runs on many popular Windows Mobile phones including the HTC Tilt, HTC Touch Diamond, HTC Fuze, Motorola Q and Q9, Palm Pro, Palm 800W and Samsung Blackjack II. To check if your phone is compatible with our OS and resolution requirements, please refer to the Microsoft website.
Skyfire will not run on Windows Mobile PDAs. Skyfire runs on phones only.
Skyfire will not run on WVGA Windows Mobile phones.
Skyfire will run on Wi-Fi, however a data plan is recommended.

We must wait a fixed version ;-)
huh, when did they add vga compatibility?? I checked over a month ago and it ran like crap on my Diamond... now I sold the Diamond and got the HD, effectively pushing my self back in the waiting line
Use W VGA Fix 2

i've tried too but resolution of the the hd is bigger ...skyf for smaller rezs...
Current releases are not working with the HD... we have to wait, just that!
p.s: anyway this browser looks promising so much!
Many thanks! Works with W VGA FIX 2...
Although to switch back to regular resolution I found you have to use task manager to close the app and restart.
Doesn't work for me.
How did you get SkyFire to work on HD. Ive installed fix2 and the certificate that came with it. When I try to run SkyFire i just get..
'Skyfire only supports screen size widths/heights of 240,320,480 or 640.
Desperate to get iplayer, if not this solution then the other 'new' thread looks hopeful
Thanks you guys, I'm out of my depth but following your lead!
ashleyp,
install wvga fix 2 cab. That puts a new program in your program list. Find the program called VModeSwitch, run it and change screen res to 640x480. Then run skyfire.
Works many thanks
Now need to try iplayer when at home on my wifi network.

Confirmed that this works 100% perfectly using VModeSwitch.
However, VModeSwitch rotates the screen, you may not want this. I use AEButtonPlus and assigned a long press key to rotate the screen clockwise, in which case VModeSwitch becomes responsive again and I do not have to kill it in the task manager.
The problem is VModeSwitch does nothing until you switch out of it. If you don't want to use AEButton, simply press the home hardkey on your HD after switching resolution, because then the screen goes back to Manila which instantly forces the screen back into portrait mode (but still VGA res). After this, VModeSwitch will work again when you get it from the tasks window and your screen is portrait VGA after which skyfire works 100% perfect.
VGA resolution?
Does the latest Skyfire (with VGA support) actually run at full 640x480 resolution or is it just stretch the pixels for the HD, as though the HD were running at 320x240?
opera
tried it, i think i will just stick with Opera until they fix the vga problem.

Very wise.
I cant understand why people go to such trouble to get a browser to work.
some of us need to monitor pages which display info using fash, I think Skyfire is the only option, right?
Never heard of Flash Lite? Works with Opera and IMO Opera is the best browsing solution anyway. On the other hand Netfront 3.5 Concept works like a charm on the HD for pages that don't display correctly with Opera. Give it a shot, it's free
Okay, I've installed the adobe version for my HD... tell me why we need this horrible looking SkyFire then? I've uninstalled it and the other bits and peices I needed to make it work.

What have you installed?
Adobe version of what?
Can you please explain?
Thanks
Sorry, I went looking for Flash Lite and found a thread with 2 versions, Flash Lite (didn't work for me) and an adobe version of flash lite (I think) which worked. I can now see the flash content on my fantasy football page
I thought SkyFire was a horrible looking browser and just wondered why everyone wants it if Opera can show flash content?
hello one and all

all in all i am looking for few things for my blackstone to be complete is
quicktime plugin...
tomtom (working);;;;;
and another question can we sync pictures from facebook and how coz i felt that vringo or whatever is really not worthy...
any idea plzzzzzzzzzzz
I use TomTom 7.910 wvga black and it works so fine i sold my original tomtom
and you can use skyfire in 640x480 resolution (VGA), and therefor you can use WVGAFIX3 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=455974
and what I heard about a skyfire version witch will be released on 8 feb will be compatible with the WVGA screen
good really good
oh man is that true is skyfire comming for wvga damn good news man i am really eager plz plz plz i wish and ya your words may come true man i am really looking forward

hi,
skyfire doesn't work on htc touch hd , it say's wrong resolution , Ive heard of patch to fix that , anybody know where to get that patch from ?
cheers
VGAFIX
Hi friend you must be vgafix use on your hd, then you can well skyfire run it on your hd.
regards
Aye that would be great if Skyfire worked on WVGA..... miss the perfect flash support from Skyfire
Ditto, Skyfire is great. You can use the VGAfix program that's around here that'll change your screen to VGA. It just sucks that you lose out on part of your great HD screen when you do that. I would think Skyfire would eventually support WVGA though.
The latest version of Skyfire now supports WVGA, check http://get.skyfire.com/; have not installed it yet, will do it later. But great if it would finally work on the Touch HD
Hey guys,
I found this application to watch free "OTA" tv broadcast from Japan.
Found it on this site:
http://xorsyst.com/japan/watch-japanese-tv-online/all-comments/#comments
dl from:
http://www.v2p.jp/video/english/index.html
Just put the application anywhere and run the .exe. Audio is not great, crackles quite a bit and not sure if that is because of the quality of the broadcast. It is actually P2P so will use wifi or your data. I tried both but the video is choppy and audio is not clean. You can still watch it... but not the best. Reminds me of old youtube or bad VCD. Any ideas on how to make this smoother/better experience? Is it bad because the original stream is low quality?
Was looking for gameshows and dramas.
I am running jacks 3.1 full Asian with 1.11.25.71 radio.
thanks

are you guys having any issues with quality/lag?
a CAB file anyone? ^^
I found another. http://pages.tvunetworks.com/downloads/player.html#
PC works fine, not sure if there is a winmo version out there? or someone that can port for us?
I have not had much success with PPStream even on PC (I get lots of lagg, can't seem to buffer well and limited channels I actually get) but is also another option
Thoughts?

google is my friend... and already a thread here. I will look into this a bit more and give it a try...

why is the android app for youtube so incredibly bad?
Whats the difference (I haven't tried the iphone youtube app).
used both before, and I dont see much of a big difference in both? Reasons for saying so?
When you go to a different point in a video using an iphone or an ipod touch the video doesn't take anywhere near as long to load. Also when the video is fully loaded if you go to a different point in the video it loads straight away.
However, with the android youtube app if you go to a different point in the video it doesn't load straight away even though the vid has fully loaded.
That's my major gripe. Also the seek bar on the android youtube app isn't as accurate.

Seems perfectly fast for me... less than 2 secs if it needs to buffer, and less than a sec if its already buffered.
there are Lots of Android YouTube Apps, which one are you talking about?

He is probably referring to the pre-installed youtube app... which works perfectly fine for my SGS.. not slow as the TS says..
the preinstalled one is very poor, the actually website is better than the app/

...my one´s also working like a charm. Maybe it depends directly to your network. Even WiFi or HSDPA working fast and smooth, w/o any problems.
