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

Hey your most very welcome
Skyfire troubles!
NO sound....
Anybody??????
ya, i have no sound either.
worked few days ago tho
no issues with sound and skyfire, just listened to a song on youtube
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.

i have a TP2 on TMo and i am just not seeing why things have to be so difficult to take care of basic stuff. i have had my TP2 for a few 3 weeks and am not liking how the wifi, touch sensitivity, and browser function. I got my hands on a iphone 3gs 32gb and used it for the last week. There are HUGE differences between the phone and am amazed that there is. I was using their "safari" brower here on my wifi home network and it was flying and screens formed fast for being a hand held device. I switch back to the TP2 and it was about a third of the speed. WHY!!!! I have skyfire and opera on the phone and they both acted the same way. what is so annoying is when you go to scroll a page it has no clue how to remember how the page looks and does the little grey and white checker board.
I don't understand why the touch is sooooo much better on the iphone than the TP2. i could actually type somewhat normal better on the iphone than on the TP2. it reads the touch great and with very few errors. when i go to the contacts i can flick up or down and it actually scrolls. i do the same action on the TP2 and most of the time it dials the number at where i tried to flick the list.
why are they such differences in performance and how to i correct these differences.
i have the energy rom ...latest one
There's no way to "correct" the differences.
What you are experiencing regarding the touch sensitivity is a capacitive screen versus a resistive screen. If you understand how a resistive screen works, and adjust accordingly, then scrolling is just as smooth. Just apply a bit of pressure.
Safari browser is indeed fast. But Opera is not too shabby. Consider this. Opera does real-time text reflow. I'm almost positive that this is one of the factors that hinders the performance. However, I'd still rather have real-time text reflow. It's better than on the Safari where you have to pan horizontally and vertically if you zoom in to the text.
If you understand the differences and you still can't live with them, then this device is probably not for you. Better return/exchange it while you can.
i didnt know there were dif kinds of screens.. how do you adjust them in the manner you state
With resistive touch like on the TP2 you have to apply a little bit of pressure. I have a friend who just got the iPhone 3GS and I don't see/feel much difference between he's capacitive screen and my resistive screen. It's all about feeling and technique, seriously.
Here's a little read about resitsive and capacitive from Wikipedia:
Resistive
A resistive touchscreen panel is composed of several layers, the most important of which are two thin, metallic, electrically conductive layers separated by a narrow gap. When an object, such as a finger, presses down on a point on the panel's outer surface the two metallic layers become connected at that point: the panel then behaves as a pair of voltage dividers with connected outputs. This causes a change in the electrical current which is registered as a touch event and sent to the controller for processing.

Click to collapse
Capacitive
A capacitive touchscreen panel consists of an insulator such as glass, coated with a transparent conductor such as indium tin oxide (ITO).[2][3] As the human body is also a conductor, touching the surface of the screen results in a distortion of the local electrostatic field, measurable as a change in capacitance. Different technologies may be used to determine the location of the touch. The location can be passed to a computer running a software application which will calculate how the user's touch relates to the computer software.

It should give you a good idea of how the two types of screens work and why you have to use different methods in order to get most out of resistive screens.
I have to agree, the iPhone's touch screen is flawless in operation.
Just my 2 cents .......

is there a way to make the keypad for the dialer full screen so typing numbers will be easier and faster?
how do i move icons around to different pages. i hate i cannot just hit one button to get to the dialer. i have to do 3 steps to get to the dialer and it is stupid since this is a PHONE to make calls.

Sounds like iDialer is what you're looking for if you want a full screen keypad.
What 3 steps are you taking to get to the dialer? Just press the call button? Also the left soft key on the home tab of also gets you to the dialer.
From my vantage point I see 5 issues:
1. As stated above, you need to learn the differences between the screen technologies.
2. You need to use the TP2's hardware keyboard. No onscreen keyboard can compare.
3. If you want a hamstrung, entertainment device, feel free to migrate to an iphone. If you want a relatively open device with depth and breadth, take the time to learn the Win Os. It does take some time to learn, but once you do, you realize how much of a toy many other devices are.
4. You don't seem to be aware that ATT's network has been optimized for and gives preference to iphones. Not to mention that many sites have special pages cleverly and clandestinely optimized for the iphone. They look in many ways like the real thing and you think that you are getting the "full web," but alot of functionality is missing.
5. Most important, and no disrespect to all the chef out there, you are using a cooked rom. These roms promise a great deal, but in the long run most fail to deliver because they introduce more problems than they solve.
I have handled the iphone fairly extensively and it is a good device in its own right. I has a really easy and intuitive interface but it is in a different and lower class than the TP2. It is meant for casual users who use their phones primarily for entertainment. It is really a dressed up feature phone and not a true smartphone.
I use my smartphone (TMobile TP2) for entertainment and for business from VPN client to Wifi internet access router to remote desktop to watching movies to email to GPS to document creation (incl. powerpoint slideshows and spreadsheets) to games (incl. many kinds of emulators), all with free software! Nowadays, I hardly ever have to pull out my netbook. My phone is nimble and loads web pages incredibly fast. At home in VA, I get between 500-600 kbps on avge, up to about 900kbps on a good day. I was in NYC this weekend and got 1260kbps fairly consistently. How's that for performance? Can an iphone do all that?
Bottom Line: Learn Win Os or even Android, you'll be more satisfied in the long run and at the very least you won't be captive to Steve "Jesus" Jobs whims.
my last phone was a G1 with droid and it was neat on the web pages. what browser are you using which you are getting lightning speed. i have an N router at home on cable internet. I wifi to it and it is the lowest loading pages i have ever seen on a phone. My G1 outran it and the iphone just smoked all above. i have opera, skyfire, and IE on the phone...what do you suggest to get the most out of it?
and yes i agree i have to learn the phone and all the info on this post has been extremely helpful and gave me a HUGE understanding of what i am running.

I find Opera Mobile 9.5 and 9.7 performance to be underwhelming at first. But I find that disabling java-script helps significantly. Most sites that I visit don't need java-script for me to see the content anyway. And disabling it, means I block a lot of ads from loading.
You can also try Opera Mobile 10 which is in beta right now. It's pretty quick in my experience. But I personally settled back for 9.7 because of it's flexibility in terms of zooming in and out of pages.
Troubleshooting Internet Speed
1. Make sure the rom/you are not running any memory hogs. Push Internet is a notorious memory-sucking monster: disable it. Ideally, your TP2 should have under 50% ram usage when you boot up and ensure you refresh the memory every few hours. CleanRam does this beautifully and automagically.
2. Double-check that you are in fact getting a 3G signal and operating at 3G speeds. Use mobilespeedtest.com or dslreports.com/mspeed to test. Anything less than 500 mbps might indicate a problem.
3. How many bars do you have? 3G requires a strong, quality signal. You might want to contact ATT to ensure that you have the correct sim and provisioning for your line and for this particular phone. (This last point is based on my experiences with ATT in the past. My phone, for some unknown reason, was ignoring the tower nearby. This may be a long shot but might be worth it.)
4.Consider flashing back to a stock ROM to see if anything improves.
5. Make sure you are using the latest versions of the various browsers. Have you tried the latest opera mini, opera mobile, or skyfire browsers? Stay away from IE; it really stinks! I get terrific results using skyfire because of the fact that it is essentially a thin client where all the necessary processing is done server-side.
6. When using opera mobile check its settings via opera:config or opera:about to make sure it is not searching for a proxy server.
7. If you are close to a major metropolitan area, use google's dns servers: 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4. This is a long shot, but when I was in NYC I did see an overall improvement of latency.
8. Check to see if wifi improves the problem. If not, check router settings. Have you tried optimizing for performance rather than for battery/neutral in wifi settings on the phone? The TP2 can only connect to g and b networks. A or n are irrelevant to its operation.
9. What sites are you trying to access? Websites do have special scaled down pages for the iphone and increasingly for android phones. You might want to spoof the user agent on your device. Essentially, this makes the website "think" that you are using a different device. The upside about using the user agent settings as is is that you do get more of the internet the way you would experience it on a desktop. That's also its downside. By trying to eat too much of the internet, the browser can choke the system. Remember, the TP2 has a 528 MHz processor and memory in the MBs, not GBs.
10. Make sure the cache, history, and cookies are cleared before testing. Corruption in any of these three areas can compromise page rendering.
I've been watching youtube videos via the app and skyfire and video news from AP.org via skyfire and have not had a hiccup. So I know this device has a sufficiently good internet capabilities.

once i read the title of this thread, all i could this was: "that's what she said."

My browser will only let me open 4 pages. Why is this, any ideas? To prevent excessive memory usage?
I remember reading somewhere that it has something to do with how thumbnails are displayed.
The only way around it is installing an alternative browser like Opera Mini, Dolphin, Steel, etc.
Though I don't see why would you need more that a couple of tabs open on a phone.
Well I do seem to need more than 4 tabs open, just habit I suppose...
I have used Steel and Dolphin before, but I'm really liking the built-in browser, apart from a couple of niggles - the second one being that when long-pressing a link (to bring up the "open in new window" menu), half the time it launches the text highlighting tool :-(
Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

I'm also finding that after browsing for a while, the browser will refuse to open a new page at all, it seems to start loading the new page, then stops loading part-way through.

This problem is now starting to really bug me.
I'm browsing for half an hour or so, and then the browser will just freeze up, and refuse to completely load the current page, links won't work, bookmarks won't open. Clearing the cache doesn't fix the problem, and since there's no way to exit the browser then I'm having to reboot the phone.
Anyone else suffering this way?

Hi
I have the similar issue, but it appears only when I switch from Wifi to mobile connection. The only solution I've found is kill browser. Can you please check if it's the same at your side ? if yes it's propably bug in web browser app, because market and everything else is working fine.

No, it's happening to me whether I'm on wifi or 3G (and not switching between the two). I don't have a task manager installed to kill the browser, so I'm having to reboot. Very annoying.
Also another persistent problem is that sometimes the browser will just quit with no warning, when clicking links. It's happened about 6 or 7 times, during (estimated) 4 or 5hrs browsing. When you restart the browser any open windows you had are gone.
I'm not at all impressed with the lack of stability of this browser. I know I could use Steel or Dolphin (with no Flash) instead.
I'm getting a replacement tomorrow, due to the "pink screen" issue, so I'm hoping this handset I have now is just a lemon.
Sadly, I'm thinking maybe they will all be the same. These issues, along with the poor calibration/recognition of where my finger is on the touchscreen sometimes, and the lack of a physical keyboard, are starting to make me re-think my decision about getting this phone.
Even more sadly, my friend's iPhones are looking increasingly more and more attractive :-(
If you don't mind for not having Flash (like iPhone), then you can download "Opera Mini 5" from the Market.
It is much faster and probably will give you better browsing experience.
I am using it for my WM device for years and cannot live without it.
The speed is just so damn fast!

Also another persistent problem is that sometimes the browser will just quit with no warning, when clicking links. It's happened about 6 or 7 times, during (estimated) 4 or 5hrs browsing. When you restart the browser any open windows you had are gone.
I'm not at all impressed with the lack of stability of this browser. I know I could use Steel or Dolphin (with no Flash) instead.
I'm getting a replacement tomorrow, due to the "pink screen" issue, so I'm hoping this handset I have now is just a lemon.
Sadly, I'm thinking maybe they will all be the same. These issues, along with the poor calibration/recognition of where my finger is on the touchscreen sometimes, and the lack of a physical keyboard, are starting to make me re-think my decision about getting this phone.
Even more sadly, my friend's iPhones are looking increasingly more and more attractive :-(

Hey guys I have been putting up with this for a while, did a search and couldn't find anything.
My device - no matter which rom or radio combination will do a full restart while I'm browsing the web using the standard browser. I do not overclock. The Tom I'm running now is villanrom where I can make the device restart from about 3 mins of casual browsing on some roms, others can last longer. The device does feel quite hot at the bottom when it does restart. The types if web pages does not make a difference. Any advice?
I bought the phone from clove and I am in Australia.

Seems to be a hardware issue.
Seems like this issue :/
It happens to me while using the browser on mobile network, although I don't remember it happening while connected to wifi.
In any case, I think you should use your warranty.
wonder how quick clove will do the warranty claim. Will prob take a week or so just to send it up there.... yay.........
