SKYFIRE New Version

This version open for public.
No need enter any email/password
Super fast, stable...

Yeah, I have been using this. Much faster than the previous version I was using. It even plays BBC IPlayer, a little jerky but amazing non the less. Shame they screwed up the logging in for Megaupload but all in all a good upgrade and by far the best browser on WM.

WHne I try to launch it is stucks on the screen:

Make sure nothing else is running (use something like wtask to close programs). You're low on memory, you could uninstall some stuff, get a lighter ROM?

Looks like its not that..
I got Errors when trying to use GPRS connection.
Over WiFi / AS it works like a charm..

ps
My ROM is CRC 13.00 only with HTC Home

Make sure you dont have a proxy server set.. Skyfire uses its own, and my prevent it from connecting.

I never use any proxy... where shall I look for these settings...

Crashing
Keeps crashing on mine. have tried gizmodo.com only but that should be enough...

I've been using it for a little while now and find it quite fast and capable. It hasn't crashed on me once.
I did have to fix the proxy server setting, but other than that, I like it a lot.
The only thing I noticed is that it seems to use a lot of battery. I need to do some quantitative testing, I usually use Opera and it seems to use the battery much quicker than even the latest Opera, but I think my battery's on it's way out anyway, so it's hard to tell. Like I said, I'll have to try them with the same sites and conditions. I'll report back if I find anything helpful or conclusive.
Anyways, so far this seems to be a great browser. I've been a very staunch/die-hard Opera user/supporter for years and this is the first time I've found another browser I would even consider replacing it with. Good show. Thanks.
edit:
BTW it's an 8525, a HERM100 currently running CRC's latest stable rom 13.1 pre 6 or something. Anyway, great app. Thanks again.

Don't u think skyfire "EAT" Power too much, my x01ht only last 1.5 hrs if using it.

"To do, or not to do" That´s the question!
I´m using skyfire to see flashstreams. For all the other, i use opera mini!
Opera mini is very fast and this handling is easy.
In skyfire you must zooming the links, ...
Always and always the same procedures.
This is exhausting!
After installing the newest version or a server update by skyfire i have a new problem. in 1 minute reconnected my browser 32x. i have since 6 Month an account. everytime i don't have problems. if i use an older version, the the same problems.
are you have the same problems?

Thats the newest skyfire 8184

Opera crashes and Internet connection probs with TP2

Hi all,
I am loving my TP2 but have a couple of annoying issues. anyone else experiencing the same...?
Firstly Opera keeps crashing. Tends to happen when trying to log in to a site. www.facebook.com mobile site is fine but crashes if I try to log in to the full site. I downloaded Opera 9.7beta and it does the same on that one too.
Also my internet connection keeps dropping. If downloading emails it might download the headers then lose the connection. Sometimes pressing send/receive gets it back online but othertimes it wont connect again until I go in to comm manager and turn the phone radio off then back on.
Frustrating problems that I didn't expect from a brand new device.

Never tried logging into the full site. I tried it right now but it I can't even input my username. So I gave up. Using the mobile site is just as good. I don't think it can handle the full site anyway.
I have never lost my connection in a good reception area. It could be your area or your carrier that has a weak reception. Try in a different area or try the phone using another network or carrier. Ask a friend to help you that uses a different network.
Make sure they are ok with you using data tho.

I had the same problem when logging on full Facebook site on my old Kaiser with Opera 9b1, it was crashing.
But on my TP2 using the included Opera, its working quite good without crashing.
Maybe you installed another sofware that uses all the memory ? just a random guess.

Looks like the HTC built in T-Mobile settings could be the cause.
The built in settings have a Proxy Server setting that I couldnt remove so I set up a new connection using:
general.t-mobile.uk
user
pass
And did not set up a static IP address. It seems to be stabler in the 20 mins I have used it and I can now log in using the WM Facebook program as previously it would not let me log in.
Hope that helps someone.

I'm back again for some help!
I have managed to get Facebook working and Opera no longer crashes using the new data settings I entered but I am still losing my data connection.
When I lose it I get the "Cannnot connect for an unknown reason" pop up box. If I clear it I can occassionally get the connection to then activate but usually I am having to cycle the phone radio within Comm Manager before it will go online. This is really annoying as if the box comes up it won't check for email till I OK the message and get the data connection working again.
I am using a T-Mob sim that worked fine in my Tytn II and checked all settings but all seems ok.
Could it be a faulty radio that keeps kicking me offline? Calls seem ok. I have dropped a few but have also had 30 min + calls so seems to be specific to data.

Opera 9.7 beta
I tried installing the new Opera beta on the unlocked/unbranded Touch Pro 2 it either doesn't start getting stuck at the splash screen or it starts and then crashes after a click or two. I am unable to use it at all. Anyone else experiencing this problem?

Tilt2 Browsers Slow and Unresponsive

Both browsers on my Tilt2 (IE and Opera) seem to have some serious problems where the screen is at times unresponsive or extremely slow. This seems to happen in 3G and Wifi.
Actually, I saw these types of problems in a review at: http://www.infosyncworld.com/reviews/cell-phones/htc-tilt-2/10602.html which said: "Nowhere did the HTC Tilt 2 give us more trouble than in the browsers. Both the standard Internet Explorer browser and the Opera Mobile browser gave us serious trouble, with an unresponsive screen that always took numerous taps to register a click on a Web link. It was a very strange issue, as finger scrolling was much more responsive. But when we wanted to click on a link, or when we wanted to tap the address bar to change our URL, the phone would require multiple taps, which was a seriously annoying issue."
Have others experienced this? Is the phone a complete lemon? Is anyone aware of a what could be wrong and/or a fix?

Experiencing the exact same thing.

At stock, don't expect the TP2 to run flawlessly, and this device is certainly not a lemon. Flashing a custom rom to this device improves its usability, and even functionality in some areas, But of course, it depends on the rom that is installed. It would help to scour these forums as there are numerous fixes and enhancements for the WM platform that'll make you enjoy it

I am not expecting it to run flawlessly. I assume, as you are with T Mobile, that you do not have the Tilt2. My experience with the Tilt2 is that both browsers are just non-functional given the complete lack of responsiveness. I understand that there are many things that can be done to it, but it seems like it should simply not be operating like this out of the gate. I would be pleased to do what I can to increase performance, but purchasing a new product that is not functional with the goal of enhancing performance should not be acceptable. Please understand, that out of the box when I click on a link many times it simply does not work and when it does, it often takes minutes to connect (in some cases worse than a throw back to dial-up connection speeds). If this is what Windows Mobile has come to, as a consumer device it really will continue to become obsolete with a very small user base. I am hopeful that it is not WinMo as I have had Pocket PCs since they came out and hope to remain faithfull.
That said, I have done a considerable amount of searching in the forum. If there is something you would recommend for this specific browser issue, I would very much appreciate the reference. Thanks.

While I wouldn't say that Opera is "unusable", it's definitely slow. I've read on the forums that Opera Mobile 9.7, which is currently in beta, seems to be significantly faster. Though, it lacks Flash if you care about that sort of thing.
I haven't tried it yet but it seems like a worthwhile shot.

Do any of guys use skyfire(this by far the best option), also check the proxy setup, Third just heads up, when I was selecting diferent option packages from ATT they initially screwed up my data connect and I was getting block out of there proxy, once this was corrected all is well but Skyfire is still the best released product.

Skyfire works, but its not very clear unless you zoom in. I have Opera beta but you can't use the zoom slider and its only marginally better.
Iris (God rest its soul) is okay but its not fast either. I wonders why none of them are cutting the mustard.

I prefer not to use Skyfire because it's completely insecure. I went to my fantasy football website and found some other user's session logged in. Had I wanted to be a jerk, I could have dropped all of his good players and replaced them with players from the Detroit Lions.
Seriously, though...if you use Skyfire be very careful what sites you visit as all of the data is rendered remotely and will be seen by others.

CAVEAT before I begin: I had pretty good connection with Opera (on 3G) out of the box.
As others have said on this thread, first thing is to disable the AT&T proxy (Start\Tools\Proxy Manager\Disable Proxy -- then soft reset), unless you want to use AT&T's Media Mall and other bloatware that requires an Internet connection.
In Opera the proxy still sticks unless you manually edit the opera.ini file. See this post here for instructions:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=4771442#post4771442
I had to do this, or Opera would not connect at all under Wi-Fi. Speed also seems to be improved.
It sounds, though, that you're speaking more about screen sensitivity. It seems that you have to zoom in more (than on a Fuze, at least) to get a link to actually respond when touched. This may sound simplistic, but note that when the Tilt2 boots up for the first time (or after hard reset), it does not run through the screen-alignment process as the fuze and other phones do. Go to Start\Settings\System\Screen and do the alignment -- it helped a bit on my phone. And every little bit counts...

SLLLLLLLLOW Browsing
I've very disappointed with the AT&T Tilt 2. I've tried several ROMs but the MS IE is slow in all of them. In some of them the Opera gets download speeds of over 1000 kbps. However, the MS IE is usually down around 300 kbps.
This is unacceptable. I used the same sim in my original AT&T Tilt 1 and I get 1200 kbps. What gives??

That's been my experience, too. Even with an excellent 3G connection (a megabit usually, or close to it, and sometimes better than that), and with the AT&T proxy disabled, both Opera and IE are utterly unusable on my Tilt 2 with WM 6.5.
And I can't blame Touch-flo. I don't even use it.
As a result, I run Skyfire as my default browser unless I'm in a place where I can't get a strong 3G signal. Then I switch to Opera Mini. Both are fast enough to keep me very happy.
I've wasted too much time trying to get Opera to do anything other than annoy me. Try some cooked ROMs, or switch. Otherwise, you're wasting your time.

i agree
I dont even bother to tap the links anymore, i navigate through them using the arrow keys and then press enter. I find them completely unresponsive to taps.

concur that the browsers suck
Too bad that there isn't a safari port....

just bought mine yesterday and it is un-usable taking 20-30 min. to access and sign into my ebay account is pretty much un-usable. My 8925 wasn't the fastest but I coud access the web w/o taking 2-5 min per page. I took my iphone back thinking this would be atleast as good as or better than my 8925,boy was i wrong.And now they tell me I only get one return(iphone) so I am stuck with this beautiful p.o.s.

i also experience problem with it. My experience seem to be that if I have both IE and opera running together, it will cause the unit not responsive. So far, I kind of stuck with IE as it seem to work better than opear.

Try the Opera 10 Beta, it is masses better than Opera 9 as far as interface experience and speed. never liked IE mobile and skyfire has potential but still feels unfinished.
Opera 10 has a really nice tabbed browsing system and is finger friendly. haven't seen any responsiveness issues. The other thing to consider is what else you are running in background, is Opera 9 still running in background? it could be slowing everything else down.

Tilt2 Facebook app and stocks tab only connect over WiFi

The Facebook app and stocks tab (on TouchFlo3D) on my ATT Tilt2 no longer update except via WiFi (they both update perfectly over WiFi).
The built-in Facebook app seems to login fine. But refreshing info just hourglasses endlessly. I don't think this has ever worked right.
The Stocks tab on the TouchFlo3D Today page also never updates. Just times out with a Connection Error after a minute or so. The Weather tab works fine. Stocks tab worked at one point, but no longer updates.
Is there some kind of proxy thing going on? I've previously disabled the ATT proxy in order to get the YouTube app to work (which works perfectly now). I had to edit the registry to make the change stick, per the instructions on the ATT forum by Vendetta on the following page (near bottom of page 2): [URL="http://forums.wireless.att.com/cng/board/message?board.id=cingular&thread.id=123280&view=by_date_ascending&page=2."]http://forums.wireless.att.com/cng/board/message?board.id=cingular&thread.id=123280&view=by_date_ascending&page=2. [/URL]Disabling the proxy using the built-in CAB worked, but the proxy would be restore after a soft reset. I've poked around the registry a bit for proxy entries which might be causing the above issues, with no luck.
Opera, IE, and everything else I can think of work fine over the wireless data connection.
I've searched around on these forums and Google, and haven't found any significant mention of a similar issue. Any ideas?

Anybody? I know there are a mess of smart people here with some ideas . . .

You could try this:
go to start-settings-connections-connections, advanced on the bottom tab then select networks. Make sure your primary data connection is selected in the first drop down box.

Everything looks in order under the Connections settings, but thanks for the tip.
Strangely, both the Facebook app and the Stocks tab spontaneously started working again today, after not working for 1-2 months. They seem to be working perfectly, and update in a couple seconds. I haven't changed a thing on the phone. So it would appear that perhaps something was happening on ATT's end.

Aghhh. The problem has returned. Again, I haven't changed anything. So something is happening on ATT's end. I've also noticed that the WeatherBug app has the same problem, only updates via WiFi.
Really annoying!

I have the opposite problem... stocks update in seconds and weather gives me "connection error while attempting to download weather data"
Any suggestions? Everything else works fine, internet, email (pushed from hotmail), etc.

Offical confused...this morning everything works fine.

Stocks tab only thru WAP
I have the same issue. Stocks tab not connecting thru wireless internet, only WAP (wireless application protocol). Have to stop current connection and reconnect using WAP setting. However, with WAP weather tab not working. Also in WAP, usual internet web pages cannot load, only web pages meant for mobile phones can load.

[Q] Tethering fix

Hey guys,
I apologize if this has been asked but I couldn't find it on any particular thread. About 10 days ago I started getting T-Mobile's upsell for tethering that I'd (thanks to the awesome developers) been able to successfully evade for over a year. Is there any fix for this? I'm (now) running Lollipop but it happened before upgrading so it seems unrelated. Thanks in advance!

There's only one solution working for me right now, but you'll have to buy this app: Wifi Tether Router
Go into /system and make a copy of your build.prop
Open your build.prop with a text editor and add this line all the way at the bottom:
net.tethering.noprovisioning=true
Save the file and reboot your device
Open the wifi tether router app and go to "configure wifi router." At the bottom of the page, there's a button to visit the site for device config settings. Scroll down that page to find settings for Note 3.
Once you're all set up, you should be good to go. Only thing you have to do is use a UserAgent switching app on your browser to make it think you're on a mobile device. I'm using User-Agent Switcher (with the blue globe icon) for Google Chrome.
Hope that helps.

Hey, thanks for your quick reply, but with a user-agent switcher, everything works even now. I was hoping to avoid changing my headers because certain sites won't be served to a "mobile" device. Luckily, my internet tv apparently doesn't send any headers because I can still tether unlimited...ly with that, but it's definitely frustrating getting mobile versions of sites on my laptop. I have observed a somewhat strange behavior that I wonder if we can exploit. It's somewhat finicky, but I've noticed that if I Google the name of a site I want to access (still via the address bar, though), the search results come up without TMO nagging me about a hotspot and oftentimes the link from the search results takes me to the site. I can't make sense of it, but as an example, if you try www.yahoo.com, you'll get the hotspot page, but if you google "yahoo" and click the first result, you get taken to the site. *shrug* I'm not smart enough to figure it out, but perhaps this observation will help someone else solve the problem
