I have the new Samsung Focus and love it. I do have one problem I didnt experience with my Fuze. I have a camera server that produces a mpeg 4 stream that I cannot get the version of IE in phone 7 to run. It will connect to the address and ask to install active x. I tell it to but it never produces a picture. I think it maybe due to the inability to set any security and active x settings like the full IE browser. I ran Opera on my fuze and never had a problem. Does anyone have any suggestions or do I have to wait for an alternative browser to show up? Thanks for any input

Active-X support in IE was sawed off, unless there is an alternative browser/stand alone player that supports web video streaming you will have to see if it will be included in the update.
Or wait for an IP camera app. Someone is bound to write one.

There are a lot of them on other mobile operating systems.
So chances are that there will be quite a few soon enough.

Did Opera open the MPEG4 stream in a different app (like HTC's streaming app?). If so, the problem is just that WP7 does not support web video (i.e. MPEG4 streams, etc.) at the moment.

It is almost 2 months since Kavana sent us 080408. While Rick has given us many refreshes of content since, we are still on the same build of the WM 6.1 OS.
Judging from the frequency of updates for various PPCs and PPC Phones, and the lack of them for Smartphones such as the S620, it must be very difficult to get your hands on a Smartphone ROM.
Is there any likelihood of an update soon ?

no, im not using a dell laptop, just a bluetooth dongle that uses the toshiba BT stack.... of yes! of course! i'd like these steps. Just pm me or aim me (or yahoo) as not to flood this thread with instructions for this, since its not related to the reason for this thread.
I've got a dongle that I think uses the MS stack. I can sync via bluetooth in Vista 64 no problemo.

I'd like to see the auto-complete in the To: field in messaging. This is supposed to be a feature of WM 6.1. I had it on my Moto Q9m running WM 6.0 and it is a big time saver.
Kavana is just in a deep sleep thats all lol.
I've tried several ROMs and i just can't imagine how to improve on Kavanas ROM. Everything just works. Great Job.

Have you installed programs such as: TCPMP, CorePlayer, or the HTC Streaming Media Player? Each of these will play streaming vids (such as YouTube). As a matter of fact, Technology has posted several codecs in one of his threads which accompanies the TCPMP player. Last night, I watched a video on YouTube (via Excalibur) which was an uncanny resemblance to the quality on my PC! Crystal clear.

I see that you have mastered my picture pixel crystall clear video resoluton quality technology via the codecs pak for the 320X240 Screen(LCD Blue-ray HD)(LOL). You are the man, I know it works like a charm, now tell the other 50,000,000 people that, glad it works for you....!
Excalibur Screen 320X240 LCD QVEGA
With the Excalibur screen the video enhancement is unlimited with the LCD structure, thats why you are getting the super enhance video resolution quality, it accepts a digital signal better than a lot more expense device like the "Tilt"! Now to prove my point go to http://mobile.ardcorp.tv, this company broadcast in a high digital video quality for mobile devices (They Even Call It HDTV). This company offer the highest video resolution resolution quality for the Excalibur and several other devices. That's why I will never ever argue with people that will say, this is the highest video resolution you get for the Excalibur 320X240 screen, not true, that is a false statement as you can see for yourself...............!

Sorry for the delay, Solja! Tech will definitely point you in the right direction as to what to download from his threads. I've personally found TCPMP to be the best grade of quality when viewing streaming video (with the codecs in the thread I mentioned earlier). I didn't think it was possible for video to be as clear (and uninterrupted) on the Excalibur. I was using EDGE, mind you! lol Imagine what kind of quality a Wi-Fi connection would provide!
Hi skyfire is no longer beta and an new version is released!

Supported is a long way from native - it looks awful compared to Opera, blocky, gritty images, impossible to read anything without zooming...
The PC equivalent would be playing Quake in 640x480 on a 1920x1200 monitor...
how do you get it to change resolution?
yes okay it looks not as good as opera. but i think this is a really fast browser. i tink i will use this if i have only gprs connection and opera mini gave up
or you can use wvgafix3 to change the resolution =)
Meh stretched VGA =(. Good browser but that's the only bad thing about it, hope they'll change it one day.
shame its not full res on the touch hd.
Have they got sound working on video streams yet ???
this is nothing. still waiting on opera 9.7
Mach5 browser has same speed as skyfire but opera's clearity/resolution. Also, plays videos without any problems.
Here are the changes:
Skyfire 1.0 has a huge number of enhancements over the longstanding 0.9 beta:
* Thumbnail interaction. Now you can click on links immediately after the page loads without having to zoom in. This enhancement is especially helpful for high resolution phones, and for familiar sites where you know right away where you want to click. It makes getting to the content you want on the page simpler, quicker and more efficient.
* Improved Zoom. Double-tap or double-click to zoom over any element, including links, images or videos. The zoom interaction is smoother and more responsive as well. Best of all: when you zoom in you will get readable text instantly (beforehand, text was blurry and took a while to become sharp).
* Enhanced Navigation. When you navigate back or forward, you return to the last viewport (e.g. zoom level and portion of the page). Thus eliminating the need to pan and zoom into the section you were viewing on the previous page. Skyfire remembers even the viewport when you select a page from your history.
* Improved page handling. Enhancements have been made especially for AJAX-intensive sites such as Facebook and Gmail. If larger parts of the page get updated then the client will more quickly and accurately reflect this.
* iFrame handling. There's a solution for full-width iFrames in Skyfire
* Fast start. The developers changed both the sequence and behavior of the Skyfire launch so you get started as quickly as possible. You can type a search or URL in the Superbar while Skyfire is connecting in the background. You can put Skyfire to work before the start page is even loaded.
* Reconnect to last state. When you leave Skyfire in the background, Skyfire will disconnect to preserve battery life. Once you come back to it (after minutes, hours, days) it will reload the same page to the same zoom level and focus. Thus you can continue right where you left off. When you exit and start again, you will always land on the start page.
* Connection helper. There's a new mechanism in place to detect when connections cannot be established to Skyfire servers. If this is due to a network configuration (common in GSM land), then suggestions are provided to help out. This is especially useful if you are with a carrier/data plan that places restrictions on certain APN configurations, which interferes with Skyfire.
* Enhanced search results. Google results now include video, news articles, local results all blended on a single results page and ordered by relevance. Vertical search categories are still available.
* Improved RSS feed search. Find your favorite custom RSS feeds through the improved Add-Feed feature, found under the Customize menu on the start page. Search by site domain, feed URL, or even topical keywords.
* Easier sharing of RSS items from start page. Skyfire has exposed a simple “Share this article” link below each RSS story displayed on your start page to make it easier to share interesting items to Twitter and Facebook
* Remember last connection (Symbian only). Skyfire can now remember the last connection for you, so you will not have to choose a connection every single time. In addition, if you want to change the connection type while you are in Skyfire then you can do so.
sound is included. hm strange if i change the resolution to vga (wvgafix3) the texts and pictures are still noisy -.- dont understand that but i think a higher resolution will be not good for the skyfire servers.
waiting for 9.7
but i think 9.7 will be released end of the year. fennec also....
much better than the Beta's... I actually quite like this.

Same problem here...
I notied how the built in social network engine on the touch pro 2 has been removed. Is there a way to re-ad this feature to the touchpro 2..? I have seen various CAB files to open this up on ROM's for the fuze/original touch pro but are there any that make it work with the touch pro 2..? Also, may be a stupid question as I'm pretty sure I know the answer... Does this phone have any capability yo go into the youtube app when clicking on a youtube link send via email or text message like some other phones... IE - Iphone, android, etc. In the past, I have seen windows just load up the default browser instead and we all know that opera does not support flash to make this happen. And even if you install the flash lite 3, half the time it will NOT work or the video frame rate will be poor. Is there a way around it or has windows mobile just not evolved to this stage yet..?
I thought that these were posted already in the forum but wasn't sure.

Youtube is also already built into the TP2 and should be in your programs. You can't auto-launch it with a link unless stuff gets hardcoded as Youtube Application links.

No, I'm talking about the social network engine within the HTC album interface that was originally introduced with the touch HD. It was ripped when TF3D2 was ripped. Now the newer versions of TF3D2 do NOT have it running. The way it works is, you take a picture or choose an existing in the album, then it will give you options to either send a pic to facebook or send a video to youtube. Also the network settings for this were located in settings. This is where you would enter & save your youtube and facebook login settings. Then there was an uploader option in settings to allow you to view your upload progress.
Youtube from Album
Yes, I remember this one, on my HD I was able to send several videos directly to youtube. but now with my TP2, the option to login and send the files is not there any more. The Youtube app doesn't have the option to upload videos either.
I remember seeing a post for this that had some other issues with it like other parts of the album not working once they got this working again....
any real solutions.
Keep up the great work guys,
Ali.
This is the only thread I know about for the TP2:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=469106
However, it didn't work for me, I'm still looking for a solution.
Not sure if its what you want but Microsoft MyPhone will share pictures etc. for you to certain networks...
I'm using a TP2 with the stock WM6.5 ROM, and am interested in getting Flash support working on websites.
So far I've tried using FixOperaFlash.exe with the built in Opera 9.5, which doesn't work at all.
I've also installed Skyfire, which does work, but is so blurry and pixellated I just can't stand to launch it.
Is there a better option? I'm interested in doing things like watching the video/audio reports on the BBC news website, and maybe playing the odd Flash game.
EDIT: tried Internet Explorer. That gets as far as launching the Streaming Media Player on YouTube (but doesn't actually download anything - possibly O2 is blocking it, and it would work over wifi, I don't know). But it doesn't work on the BBC news website: just gives me a message saying "this content doesn't seem to be working, try again later".
so far there is no flash support for WM devices and they only way you can view flash is with skyfire and its pixelated because 1 you need to zoom in and/or 2 its compressed to save you on data costs and for speed

thats not true. it works for ie on wm6.5, and some builds of opera 9.5 out of the box, and fixoperaflash has enabled it on every version of 9.5 and 9.7 ive tried.
Ok I'm coming from another phone where I'm used to certain things so I'm trying to figure out some things on the Incredible... any help would be appreciated.
1. How do I send MMS video? No matter what resolution I take a video at, when I try to send it through MMS I get the message saying it's too large. It doesn't give me the option to edit it and send or anything.... When I used other android devices (Hero and N1) there was an option to take "MMS Video" which I thought was pretty poor way of doing things since I could be taking a video that I then wanted to later send as MMS but didn't have the option if it wasn't taken at MMS... Shouldn't it just convert it and send it for you or something? Anyhow, I don't even see the "MMS Video" option so I figured they had fixed this and made it so it converts it for you but no dice...
2. In the web browser I can't view videos like on Vimeo etc... For some reason I was under the impression that this phone did flash? But I can't get flash videos OR HTML5 embedded videos to load. :-( Now on Vimeo, the video does appear to be there but when I hit the play button the loading bar appears, loads up to 100% and then nothing happens... and hitting the full screen toggle in the corner of the video window doesn't make it full screen either... What am I doing wrong?
3. On the mail client it doesn't seem to be rendering HTML correctly. Some of the formatting is broken and I have to tell it to load pictures each time I open a message. Is there a way to change it so it always loads all HTML and pictures? Also when I do click to load the pictures, the rendering is off and not sized correctly; I have to scroll side to side as well as up an down to view the full email. Also a lot of the text is unaligned especially around pictures. This also happens in the Gmail app too. How can I improve this?
4. In the camera App, the app works fine actually it's just odd that the controls are stuck in landscape mode and when I turn the phone to portrait the controls don't change with it... Just seems like something that should be addressed especially in out of the box apps.
5. Is there a way to arrange the order my friends are in on the people widget?
6. What's the default movie player on the Incredible and does it support subtitles/chapters? How do I get them on the device?
7. What are some good task switchers you recommend? Other than the default long press on home task switcher.
try skyfire browser for vimeo.. works well but unfortunately does not work for hulu
