SkyFire Update, www.skyfire.com
Youuuuppppiiiii !!
Iphone is dead
Still it hasn't a native WVGA resolution.
Native WVGA or not. It does what it says on the box. Just watched a video review of a bmw on Whatcar's website (an embedded wmplayer video). Video doesn't seem to maximise resolution (much like watching mobile tv from Orange france) BUT didn't notice any lag. Pretty cool! Will play around with it for a while and see what else it has to offer

It's true it isn't really WVGA quality (more like streched out vga). However, it is great to be able to see flash based websites..
Hope a true HTC HD version comes out soon..
would love to try it if it ever got passed the screen i attached (below) lol. Looks great on the video, jsut doesnt seem to work on my HD
Had the same problem until I removed and installed again.
Just installed it. Got it working but all the content is very pixelated. It's kinda like it's stretched VGA like was said before. Uninstalled it, I'll wait for native WVGA.
This 0.9 version is much better than the 0.8 version I had. Still some work they need to do (real WVGA for one) but it still is better than anything else I've tried.
It's nice to finally be able to use Skyfire on our HDs. I didn't notice any major improvement since beta 0.8 (which I used to run on my former KS-20). Actually, videos don't seem to be as smooth as they to be on my old phone and moreover, there is no sound at all. The little speaker logo (to mute/unmute sound) which was displayed on the bottom right corner is not here anymore. And yes, the rendering is not as nice as Opera's, it's more pixellated.
But besides that, Skyfire is still a great browser, and I'm looking forward the future releases.
Love deezer work
But Keyboard still not here on theweb page, Deezer for exemple it's impossible to search or login without keyboard ....
Soory for me English

works like a charme here, but indeed, the pixalation is to much...
hope they really bring out an wvga version....then this is absolutly good!!
Anyone using this on edge?
Anybody in North America using skyfire on edge connection to stream videos? Hulu, maybe?
Quality is reasonably good on my Athena and i-mate 6150, but that's at 3G. This is my major concern about the Touch HD not having U.S. 3G bands.
Any feedback about your experiences will be greatly appreciated.
on my danish HD is skyfire very slow

yesterday i used my hd with only 2 bars of E to stream my fiances college basketball game.... im not sure if there was suppose to be video or not cuz i did not read it, but the sound was good.... sometimes my signal faded so it was a signal problem but the streaming of audio with E was pretty good... and i feel for you man, been using H on my fuze for some time now, and it hurts not having at least 3g on our touch hd... but its a hell of a phone and so worth it!

yes your right..... but desktop youtube with stream works
I'm pretty sure I wasn't imagining things but I successfully went on megavideo and watched an episode of the scrubs (=P) but now when I try it says this type of flash is not supported :S and on Youtube it used to load videos fullscreen when I pressed play but now it says Go Upgrade...
Is this due to a new firmware update? I heard a new one was released but I never went through any installing process.
I'd like my megavideo and Youtube back! =O Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
I've noticed video on the BBC website isn't working now either which it was working fine before.....
same thing here, youtube videos says, go upgrade....
The desire runs flash lite version 4. YouTube, iPlayer and most other flash apps run on the full version of flash, 10.1. Some things in 10.1 won't be backward compatible with Flash lite 4, so won't display correctly, or even run atall. When Android gets flash support officially it will run 10.1 but for now,you will have to do with the app variants.
ah but why could I view them before?

I know that iPlayer won't work and never has, but the other videos for example clips on the BBC News site always worked fine and now they dont.

I think they might have updated their application, and perhaps increased the minimal version number needed. That would explain why you get that message now.
I've been getting this too, been trying to load videos from various sources, as flash seemed to work in Farmville on facebook (I almost died when I saw it loaded up), and now nothing, the only ones that work for me are youtube videos, which I believe are handled through the HTC Streaming app. All other flash files on sites just give me the yellow '!' triangle, not a pretty sight at all.

I've also had this problem.
BBC website works fine on my Desire, as does playing a full flash movie. Try this:

Just watched that full screen with no issues over 3G
UStream.tv doesn't though - get a triangle
[ 2.2 only ): ] YouTube! <Updated with UI overhaul> On Market! [Google Standalone]
http://www.appbrain.com/app/youtube/com.google.android.youtube
above is the appbrain link. alternatively you can search YouTube on the Android Market to update your YouTube!
it's awesome.
watch videos while reading comments! or go fullscreen! always view videos as HQ!* UI overhaul! words cannot describe it. go check it out!
still can't comment in-app though. awesome nonetheless!
edit: *just found out that the update is only for android 2.2 ): Eclair users will still have to manually switch to HQ. sorry ):
how were u able to update?
im still getting installation unsuccessful even after removing the stock youtube.apk JPM...
Can you share the .apk file here please.
Thanks
Edit. All good I just had to reboot after deleting..
Works fine here, downloaded onto my JP6 firmware.
App is great, but the widget is too huge... doesn't match all my other widgets at all If it were smaller it would be great, has transparency and all.
This should be it.
And the best thing is:
Playback during LOCKSCREEN!!!!!!
This should be the first UI change for gingerbread! i hope it is!
Very nice
The new youtube app is wicked the play it plays a small video when in portrait mode i love it.....
Installation was unsuccessful at first when downloaded straight from the market...figured it had something to do with the current youtube app I still had so I uninstalled that and tried again and installation went fine this time.
It looks GREAT! And videos seem to load faster now for me with this app..or maybe I'm just imagining things. Either way, it's a huge step forward. Super polished. Great stuff! Here's to hoping this an indication of how sleek and polished Gingerbread will be.
I get a network error [400]both on wifi and 3g...
Market just let me update from old to new.
No need for any uninstall.
Installed with no problems, running a JPM/JP6 voodo pre 6 concoction
For those who cant get this working......its froyo 2.2 only!....sigh

I don't see any option for HD video. There is "HQ" but it's definitely not giving 800x480 (480p) resolution.
I don't know why they don't enable it, this and some other phones should be perfectly capable of streaming 480p.

The HQ logo must be red colored i think...

Great improvement. But it would be better if it cames as an automatic update.
By the way the videos are not HD but HQ

Hello Guys
Any pk missing you can find it in slideme,org, Thanks my Friends from Romania
This new app is wayyy better than the older one... Also, do you think that they're finally using the GPU for this app, as everything (including scrolling) is VERY smooth
If Gingerbread is this smooth, I'll be extremely happy.
Can I find it somewhere? Does it work on Hox?

kool that'll enable to play multiple pop up play videos i believe
Thanks, it works but I think it is not so powerful to play hd video and some powerful apps.. for example SGS3 handle HD movie with GTA3, but on Hox with this programm, video stopps.. hope it is because of Samsun original optimalisation player

anytime!
hmm we cannot though compare just an app with s3's pop up play its ofcourse different and maybe the most advanced one in it..
so as we like open a game or something the software would be configured to be stopped when such happens....
because i guess the app would not be crashing but just pausing/stopping so its already just configured that way, nothing wrong with the awesome htc one x ...
though why would one watch videos while playing games?
still enjoy as now u atleast have a pop-up play! and u can probably do all external things like texting and watching, etc
Why you need to watch video while playing. Guys this is phone and not a monsters. Don't expect more from our phone , unwanted things.

I do not see the point in the pop-up play????
Is this just a gimmick?
This is something you'll try once, then never use again!
You not going to suddenly watch a video then check you email!!!
Makes no sense!!! Just pause what your watching, do your stuff, then come back to watching the video.

Actually I missed this functionality a lot. I like to use my phone on internet and reading stuff more than on laptop but sometimes I just want to play some video or song for its sound (some eduacation stuff) but I hated that It just stopped and I cannot minimalise the video.
But I would prefer to include pop up function to some player like Bsplayer/MX player..
Hi,
i've a another issue with super Video:
smartgpc said:
It is HTC ONE 's video hardware (or driver) bug caused by some video sizes. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO FIX IT by us.
However you can ask HTC to fix it.
You can also change the video size to prevent the issue.

well friend the pop-up play app i mentioned is : Super Video, Floating and Popup .
the one giving you prob "super video" is different and i guess comes only in paid version.... its upto you that try Super Video, Floating and Popup free version first see if all videos are working fine or not in pop-up, etc(however you want to check) if it works well then ur wish to go for its pro version or just stay on the free one?!
though i want tell pop-up play is really good i saw seen people using it while texting, so mayb its 50-50 that people like it alot and some don't need it.. so totally upto them but atleast this feature can improve anyone's smartphone points i believe... like just for fun saying that you show it to a friend without pop-up play he gives 8 point, so what's wrong when he gives 9 points with pop-up being installed and enjoying its innovative features ?!
cheers!!
I can not find this info anywhere. Most likely I can't do this. I would like to use my old EVO like this macbook>stream to EVO>HDMI cable>TV. If this can be done, can it be HD?
And this is why questions go in the Q&A forum.

Hello, I have a few dummy Evo 4gs. Not active on cell network
I want to use it to play YouTube videos on my big screen led with HDMI.
Can someone point me to a working ron that does HDMI output mirroring?
Ideally I would like a fully baked rom. Something I can flash and HDMI mirroring will work for YouTube playing.
Anyone got any recommendations?

Why would you stream from your macbook to your evo and then to the TV instead of doing the Macbook straight to the TV?? You can stream from a macbook straight to the tv OR from your evo straight to the TV but not both
I would also like to use my old EVO as a media center. I know XBMC is fairly android-friendly these days. Download and install an APK.
I went and bought a new micro-HDMI cable on Amazon so in a few days and I'll post back with my findings.
My EVO is currently running a CM7 nightly from November.

just use plex or xbmc to get things streaming to the phone
once it streams to the phone, all you need to do is download an app called hdmi win from the market, start hdmi win, start your plex/xbmc app, plug the phone into the tv, boom you're good
the audio is always a little funky though
I got my HDMI cable in and installed XBMC. Using the program HDMIWIN I am able to mirror the device to my TV. The settings allow me to output to the TV at 1280x720 and the TV confirms that it is receiving a 720P signal. In the settings of the XBMC app, I am not able to change the resolution at all from 800x400. The phone itself is stuck at it's native resolution so I don't know if it is actually sending a 720P picture along the wire.
I am thinking that for standard definition media, this would be a good use of a retired EVO but if you're looking for any HD goodness, you'll probably have to use a different device.
