I have Xperia with Opera browser and I am unable to run google maps. If I visit their page the maps never load. I tried to see the maps using IE too but without success? Do you have any idea where may be the problem? Thanks
opera mini can't view complex pages, it's made for quick internet searching of easy framework sites (like xda-developers)
if you want google maps use the windows mobile program it's free.

Yes, I have the windows mobile software and it is working fine. When I need to see only the maps or use them for navigation, it is great solution. However, there are some websites which use google API to show some points of interests using google maps. These points of interest cannot be seen using the windows software. An example of such site is geocaching.com where is possible to see the map of the geocaches. This is possible to see only using the browser.
I don't know if a direct solution exists, but I'd recommend using a geocaching app in concert with gmaps. See here for such an app. Hope this helps.
Have you tried Opera Mobile?
Try SkyFire. its notg as smooth as opera when fliping a page but it displays the pages identicali to pc. runs flash video in the page itself.

Is there a cheaper alternative to opera 8.60? Other than IE. Thanks
I think Opera is not expensive, only a few €,and it's a good program.I've been trying other web browsers and this is the best.

It is free and I find it great.
If you have any problems let me know.
I've tried Minimo (just google). It's also based on the mozilla engine and for free.

not that i promote this kind of stuff... :twisted:
p.s. - i use netfront, when used in simple mode and smart fit it's fast and clear. Also if you go to any webpage from google mobile or gmail mobile google will autoformat it. Very nice for forums. Just email yourself a link to the forum (i'm sure there's an easier way to do this)
alrights peeps .. enjoying my new tp2 but why oh why am i getting google mobile formatted pages when i use the opera google search box. i don't want mobile formatted pages and i'm guessing you don't either.
quick fix to turn this feature off?

From what i remember from the Touch Pro 1, there is a setting in Opera's config that you have to change (i think it is the user agent) otherwise Opera reports itself to some sites as a mobile browser.
Do a search for "opera user agent"..you'll find something.
On every version I've ever used (a lot), searching from the search box that's part of Opera ALWAYS loads mobile google. Even if you have Opera set to identify as a desktop browser.

Has anyone seen this?
http://gizmodo.com/5456815/google-voice-finally-heads-to-iphone-palm-pre-with-html5-webapp
It's supposed to be a html5 based web application for google voice. Do we have a capable browser for this thing?
Interesting question. According to this some html5 capabilities are available to winmo user via Opera Mobile + Google Gears.
If you try it, let us know if it works.
i just use PIE and have it identify itself as mobile device and go to voice.google.com directly, while no dialpad is there you can still type in the number or text from the page directly
So I'm an avid user of Google Reader. The simplicity and speed is second to none IMO. I have used reader mobile on Android and iOS, as well as WP7. All work well but for some reason, the scaling appears to be off when viewed in IE mobile on WP7.
For clarification URL is: http://google.com/reader/i
Using Android (800x480) to view show about 7-9 article headers with reasonable font size....however, on WP7, the scaling is off - the graphics look jagged and text is zoomed in about 2x more than on other devices, only 4-5 article headers can be seen. There is no pinch to zoom on this page and I can't seem to find anywhere to scale things back.
Anybody else found a usable method to zoom out in the google reader page using native browser in WP7?

What settings are you using on IE? Desktop or mobile view? Try to change that settings and reload the page and see, if it's better. But I really recommend using a dedicated reader app like feed me, which can be found in my signature. You can import all the feeds from your google reader account there.
As an alternative, consider the excellent app "Wonder Reader". "Next Gen Reader" is also quite good but WR is just the best one around.

And Mobile view may help.
The Desktop View will make IE kick in it's automatic "make this or that readable" which really messes up the fonts.
Android has an Official Google Reader app with Push Updates so they don't have to worry about that.
The Google Reader Site is really optimized for HTML5 browsers (Desktop and Browser). I wonder if it's even possible to get the mobile version working correctly on IE Mobile...
Another thing... You can subscribe to RSS feads via Windows Live. However, I do not know how to get to the updates that show up in my feed. All my friends see them and as me what it is, but I can't see it
NOPE

View looks exactly the same in both modes.
I know there are a ton of RSS readers out there but I've tried them all and none of them seem to work well enough to justify the cost.
The reason I prefer the google mobile (i) reader is:
1. I don't have to update my feed list or anything like that
2. It's faster than any RSS client as IE is native an loads instantly
3. Feeds stay totally in sync across all platforms so I can pick up reading on my desktop / ipad / wp7 phone
4. It's free
5. I like the simple view of all my feeds in a single easy to scroll view.
If I could just find a way to adjust the page scaling, it would be perfect!
Did you also try the two I mentioned? They are Google Readers so work just ad you expect GR to work.

Try Yomomedia7, tile based google reader client, it's very wp7-ish

Has anyone managed to get the stock ICS browser working on 2.3?
tried ICS for a while, and loved the system but had to give it up for the lack of app support so far. Really missing the integrated approach of the browser, and how it synced bookmarks etc.
I know about ChromeMarks but not really the same. Done a search and found some topics of people trying on different devices but wondering if anybody got it on S2?
Failing that, what browser do you recommend as best for syncing between mobile and desktop?
I use Opera on my desktop, and Opera Mobile on my phone, and I use the build on "Opera Link" to sync bookmarks it works well.
But I suppose you use Google Chrome on your desktop so Opera Mobile isn't an option for you.
fair comment as I do use chrome. however may start looking at other options seen as four years in and google still not bothered with this feature.
