I uses skyfire rather than opera mobile because its smoother and faster.. was wondering if any one is working on a cab file to make skyfire as the default browser?
There's an option in skyfire (hit menu -> settings iirc) which lets you set it as the default browser.
hey how did u find a version of skyfire that works good? the versions i've used all not made for the pro2 and are very pixelated. thanks
Thats the way Skyfire is.
Once you zoom in a little IQ tends to get a bit better but there's no AA etc as you get with say Opera.
the problem is when reading an email then clicking on a link it automatically goes to IE, also removing IE from the internet tab like the opera cab fix.
they have full versions for free on, http://get.skyfire.com
Which is better skyfire or opera mobile? any pro and cons
try to change these registry keys to Skyfire appropriate values
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\: DEFBROWSER]
"1"="\Windows\OperaL.exe""
"0"="Opera Browser"

Hello!
Since I updated Opera (9.5 build_15954 on my Diamond) to its latest version, when I go on web sites, my browser is recognized as a mobile browser and not as normal office browser. It's really annoying because on Youtube Website such as on a lot of sites I see a particular web site dedicated to mobile phones.
As an example, when I load www.google.fr the browser goes to Google Mobile. When I go on Youtube, my browser redirect to Youtube Mobile.
In short, there is something that identify my browser as a mobile browser on the net and I would like to change opera parameters to simulate a real traditional browser as Firefox on windows XP for exemple...
What can I do ?
Thank you
Hello,
Can anybody help me get Flash support working on IE again?
This applies to T-Mobile USA Touch Pro2 version and this what happened.
I changed the default browser from IE to Opera (via opera:config), but soon found out Opera did not play youtube videos. I installed Flash7 for PPC to no avail. I removed Flash 7 via add/remove programs
When I went to open a youtube video in IE, like I'd done before, it did not work either. There's a placeholder in the page for the video, but nothing else.
I would appreciate if anybody could lead me in the right directions to:
1) restore flash playing capabilities on IE
2) enable flash playing capabilities on Opera Mobile
As a bonus, how could you make IE default browser again? Just curious...
Thanks
Luis
Had you thought about installing Skyfire instead? That has pretty good flash support, and is faster than Opera for general browsing.
Thanks for your reply Shasarak.
Yes. I had it and I remove it, however, my original question still stands.
I want first to get the phone to its former state (IE plays youtube), then we can discuss alternatives.
Thanks,
Luis
I believe the IE supoort for Flash is currently based around the Flash Lite player (at least for the TP2 from Telstra). Come this October, there would be a public beta from Adobe for the full Flash 10 player for mobile phones like WM phones. The beta player is the plug in for browsers. And sometime next year, hopefully there would be the full standalone AIR (Adobe Integrated Runtime) player for mobile phones as well.
opera mobile 10 is sucks. iE-is slow, firefox not working, wich is the best? for wotching videos on facebook or in vkontakte.ru??
try skyfire - m.skyfire.com
beware though, dash wasn't meant to be a "video" phone.
Frostmoon is correct, remember you are dealing with a 3+ year phone...that in phone years is more than 10...so don't ask too much of the dash...
since when opera 10 is able to view fb / youtube videos? there is no working flashplayer yet for windows mobile platform that can run flashvideos in embedded
uhhh. the only browser i know that supports any in browser flash is skyfire...

Skyfire is the man... but be aware that you´ll be installing a portable heater along with skyfire..
For me the best choice to watch youtube videos is CorePlayer. And the best choice to browse the web is Opera Mini 5.
I would say that if skyfire didn´t have this heating side effect, it would be my choice to web + youtube.

I have to agree with Frostmoon - Skyfire is the best for the Dash/Excalibur. It displays web pages exactly as they appear on your PC complete with embedded flash. I love watching highlights on ESPN.com It does youtube also but you are better off going to m.youtube.com and downloading the app to your dash - it works similar to Ipone's youtube app.
joeskull I haven't noticed the heating effect, but I'm not overclocking..Haven't tried opera 5 or coreplayer, will try them and report back later
I would avoid Opera Mini 5 beta for now - it does look very nice and is very fast but has a major bug when entering text in the address field - the numeric keypad can't be turned off! This has been reported with other phone models (iPAQ 514, Dash 3G, Samsung i607 Blackjack, etc.) on Opera Mini's forums with no fix currently available.
Basically Opera Mini 5 beta is unusable on the Dash/Excalibur.
after seing how opera 10 automatically brings you go the mobile youtube site when you click on a link from a text or email, i realized opera 9.5 does not do this. and when someone sends me a youtube link, or i click a youtube link elsewear, opera 9.5 always goes to the regular youtube page which obviously is no good since we dont have flash.
is there anyway to make my opera 9.5 always go to the M version of youtube like op10 does by default when clicking youtube links?
You could install Opera 9.7. Search for a cab for it. It's what I use, and it defaults to YouTube mobile.
oh i didnt even know 9.7 exists.
does it support the zoom bar?
ill try that
Yes, it does support the zoom bar. Opera 10 does not. 9.7 was the final version to allow scalable zooming. Get it at this thread.
wow awesome.. thanks so much.. doing it now
As the title indicates, which browser would you choose? & why? [I don't want this to be a comparison to the stock browser].
I normally use Dolphin HD over my home wifi network but resort to Opera Mini while I'm outside to reduce data consumption.
I'd be grateful if people could share their experiences with these browsers. Pit them against each other; which browser is better than the other?
Thanks for all the replies in advance. Much appreciated.
Since I use Opera Mobile, I am going to recommend Opera Mini.
Dolphin browser's rendering like pinch-to-zoom is a little slow in comparison.
