I wondered if Mozilla would ever come out with a mobile browser! I gotta check it out.

to me really ... it looks dull .... no like cool graphics,,, no 2008 and beyond look... but it has no flash ... no disrespect.. to you or mozilla but i excepted better from them but who knows .... maybe its only a beta or something

it is beta...
but come on what would you expect from an aplication on a mobile phone... what about the graphs of opera or IE are they much better...

hmm how does this differ from the older versions? because ive 'used' them and it was awful.
first time i tried it, it wouldnt even start, second time in interface was so difficult to navigate...

Is there a smartphone version of the browser, too?

I would assume that they are talking about a smartphone browser! Opera mini is a smartphone browers and we are a forum for smartphones

Yes it can be used on smartphone as well...

I just installed it twice; it is able to istall on the device, but it is not able to be used. The browser loads up and I cannot navigate with my cursor or joggr pad thorugh the browser.

I would assume you try it out first before making comments.
I have downloaded it serveral times. And the Mozilla site and FAQ hints at this being a ppc based browser.

i have tried it and is working purfect.... i wouldnt make a post with out a reason... and is very stable as well...

I have too on my dash with 6.1 and am not able to browse or use it. it loads up but i cannot navigate through the browser to select anything. hence why i bothered to ask questions

minimo "works" on Windows Mobile 5 and later devices, both pro and standard. the seemingly un-navigable interface can be operated with buttons, but I can never recall what does what and it always just starts doing weird things, after a lot of struggling.

After reinstalling it about 7 times it finally worked by using the soft buttons to navigate through. However, not stable at all to browse at least on my device.

It takes forever to load and closes when underload. Opera Mini FTW.

kept crashing.

It has promise on a ppc. It looks too much like a touch application. Opera Mobile works much better as a full web browser for the Dash at the moment and Mini for quick viewing.

seems like its causing my phone to crash because its a memory hogger by far.

Never got darn thing to load
After installing Minimo would always hang up. Pity as I love Firefox,(but I love Opera too) On puter I use Opera for all research ect in English and Firefox for Portuguese. My vote is with Opera Mini

Flash on default Opera Browser?

Hi Guys,
I have a Touch Pro 2 (unlocked and unbranded in UK) which comes with the Opera browser as the default TouchFlo 3D offering.
I'm unsure which version of Opera Mobile this is but it doesn't have the capability of flash like some of the cabs I've seen floating around.
I've tried the 3.1 cab from this forum but this does nothing for Opera for me, Skyfire is an option but tbh looks horrid on the TP2 screen and even the flash 7 cab upgrade for the default IE doesn't seem to work.
Does anybody have any input on how i can get flash working on the default Opera Mobile browser?
(as a side note, I'm a new Windows Mobile user, any absolutely recommended software I should be installing onto my TP2 to get the most of it?)

I've been searching for the last few hours online and it does seem like nobody gives a damn about flash ont he Touch Pro 2, surely that can't be so?
Either its so easy eveybody just assumes we know the trick or it's impossible and common knowledge...

Hey i installed the BETA 9.7? last night and some flash works on that, just not others, apparently something to do with activex being disabled or something, im unsure.
I'd love to get flash working on opera, webpages look awesome on it. I'm not a fan at all of skyfire.

really? and the flash worked?
Please can you link me to the cab you used?

Sorry i didn't explain my post very well. BBC iPlayer worked but a few others didn't.
I just got the BETA from here:
http://www.opera.com/mobile/download/

wow you're right, i had tested before but didn't get good results.
Tries again and youtube worked etc. I think it's a little hit and miss atm.
I also find flash doesn't work if you have turbo mode on and could not get opera widget manager to even install.
Don't suppose you have any idea if it's possible to get the zoom slider to work in the beta?
Many thanks for replying to me.

Firefox Only?

Is this xda developer forum firefox only?
How cam I cannot load the images correctly if I am using chrome? (Actually IE doesn't work too, but I don't care about IE)

Works fine for me in Chrome. Try reinstalling chrome?
It might be your internet connection, or the speed of your pc.
flyboy

working perfect in Opera too

IE8 works for me.

IE7, 8, Opera & Chrome all working like a charm

Haven't had any issues using either IE, Chrome, Opera or Firefox. Currently using Firefox as IMHO is the best.
Chrome still has compatibility issues with a number of things, but works fine with XDA. Ensure that you haven't blocked images or anything else in your Chrome settings

I've viewed this forum through Chrome, FireFox, IE, Opera, and Safari on both Windows and my Mac and haven't had issues. Ironically enough if I tried to load this forum via WinMo and Opera my phone crashes. But that's WinMo for ya

Opera Mobile 10 final: XDA pages browsing perfect too

Working normally on my Touch2's inbuilt Opera 10.

All my touch pro 2 Roms work fine with XDA

Which internet browser should be used?!

Hey guys, so as far as I know, most people use the Opera browser and that the IE browser is really slow. But I also found the Skyfire browser, but I have also seen mixed reviews on that. On my PC I used Google Chrome (which I love!), anyone know if Google is going to come out with a WinMo browser? (Yeah, I know that they have their own OS but thats not the point). Thanks!

They seem about the same to me. Though I can't get opera to work when on wifi.

Yeah, It used to work great for me about a year ago on my BlackJack II, But over the last year it seems to have been getting slower and slower, and buggier to boot. I thought maybe it would work like a breeze on the tilt2 having a faster processor etc... but seem to be the same old mess. Sometimes it loads up really fast, others it times out, tells me no connection, or just forgets its loading a page. Seems to be pretty hit or miss if people still have a good experience with it.

No, they are not. They only did that for windows desktop to pull people into the google experience on the desktop so they will be more willing to switch to chromium OS. It's the same "marketing" strategy that apple uses when they force safari and quicktime on you when you install itunes. But Google plays nice and doesn't install itself behind your back.

I pretty much just use Opera 9.7. Seems to work as well as anything. If you're looking for something like Skyfire (compressed proxy based browser) Opera Mini works pretty well, standalone version linked.

Opera 9.7 for me too. I prefer the scalable zoom over the 2 fixed zoom levels of Opera 10.
Once in a while, I will use Skyfire. A few sites seem to render better on Skyfire then Opera. But its Opera most of the time for me. Opera seems to be faster, and has a better zoom control.
IE is amazingly slow on my phone.

Skyfire FTW!!!

Opera 10 is working awesomely for me

Opera Mini 5 with the embedded Java package that someone here on XDA put together.
Mini is SO MUCH faster that Opera Mobile. Not even close IMO. It also seems to render most webpages better.
Skyfire is ok, but I tried an older version which was a bit buggy, not sure if their latest releases are better.

If you want to see flash then Skyfire for sure. For other things I use Opera 10.

@ those using Opera 10: anyone successfully got the zoombar working. I thought I read somewhere about people working on this? I find 10 faster but as previously mentioned, control over zoom is needed.

I've been using SkyFire for about 6 months and I have loved it, BUT!!! the past couple days it has been total crap. They say they are fixing it on their forums... We will see... Opera it is for now.

Opera 10 only have 2 zoom levels built-in (no scalable zoom), so the zoombar isn't going to work. I don't believe a hack is possible, since there is nothing there to hack (no scalable zoom to link the zoombar with).

Thanks for all of your opinions. I might try Opera Mini out when I get back home. But ill probably just play it safe for a while, in regards to Skyfire.

opera is a nice browser but it's pretty slow in my opinion. I have yet to try opera mini so I may give it a try. So far my fav is skyfire because it's the fastest that I have ever used. I think MS should just buy skyfire and put it in their windows mobile. It may help them to sell their windows mobile phone>
anyone know if our zoom bar can work with opera mini? One of my problem with skyfire is the zoom bar not working with it.

Can Some WP7 Users Test A Website For Me?

Hello...
I'm working on a mobile version of a website and I don't know anyone with windows phone 7.
Would a couple people be willing to try and break it and tell me if something doesn't work?
I have access to test with windows mobile 6.5, android, iphone, and blackberry.
http://www.flcbranson.org/mobile.php
Thanks...
JJ

Looked good to me. Navigation was clean and fast, and the audio links all worked fine.
The only problem I saw was that all of the "Most recent" links on the free downloads page took me to the same place - the current schedule page.

Oh, boy...
Thanks for pointing that out.
I used ? instead of &.
JJ

That showed up another problem.
Apparently, my code on listseries.php was funked and it showed the same Recent Messages instead of the messages for each series.

Functioned well for me on a Samsung focus
Sent from my SGH-i917 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App

Runs smooth and looks good on my HD7.

Do the mp3 links just start playing or does it require the file to download and open separately?
WM6.5 only downloads.
JJ

They started playing immediately for me.

it is working very well

Hello, again...
Would some of you wp7 guys test another link for me?
I'm working on some streaming mp4 video and it's working for iphone/ipad, but not android or desktops.
I'm wondering if it works for wp7.

No, it does not work. It tries to play it as a video (in full screen), but then it says that it can not play the video. Are you using a video format that Windows Phone 7 is supposed to support?

I don't have the foggiest idea.
It's a live stream that is going through a third-party streaming company (we encode, live, and stream to them, then everyone connects to them for the stream).
I've just implimented the code that they provided and it works for apple devices, but nothing else.
JJ
Edit...
Apparently, it works on a mac with safari, but not windows with safari.
JJ

Sorry, we can't play this file on your phone.

I get a white page that says "Live" in the top left. This is the same whether I choose "desktop" or "mobile" settings in my browser

I'm not concerned about how things look or function, just what background color shows up in portrait and landscape.
In theory, it should be blue for portrait and orange for landscape.
Please test with any browswer that windows phone 7 supports, if possible.
Thanks...
JJ

Seems to work with IE9 (WP build 7712)
However you can't read headlines/Links in portrait mode since they blend with the blue background

Color changes (so does the font size but i'm guessing that has to do with whatever you tied to the orientation). So to verify above, you're good on the 7712 mango build.

Yeah, the functionality of it is meaningless, at the moment.
I was in the middle of testing some xml loading and decided to try some css media query stuff.
It's lame, though, as my windows mobile 6.5 internet explorer isn't using media="handheld" or min/max-width.
JJ

Worked perfectly here.
