So I'm here.. trying to compare the different new WM6.1 ROM's in different tabs..
and my browser keeps pretty much slowing to a crawl or freezing up on me..
I think it's this stupid 'Toyota Corolla' flash advertisement!! GRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Stupid Car!!!!
I just got the car and Im happy with it. Just because of your slow browser, dont complain. Have you tried FirFox browser? If yes, then there is an add-on called AdBlock Plus which can block unwanted ads
Regards,
Carty..
Firefox's been slowing down on me lately, too... it might be the fact that I'm on my laptop now that my PC is fried. My laptop is old...
Thats why I use Opera on my PC. Rock stable. Very few websites dont show fine on it. For them, I fire up IE
Sometimes xda-developers itself is very slowwww

I use Opera at work also, and sometimes at home.
My favorite browsers are as follows:
Firefox 3
Firefox 2 with certain addons
Opera
Firefox 2 without any addons
Internet Explorer
Yes... that space after firefox and before IE is there on purpose.
Opera is great and fast but it has a few quirks that bug the heck out of me, not to mention some sites don't work properly on it. Many more sites than firefox, since it's implementation of AJAX is somewhat screwy. Internet Explorer is great in the sense that it never breaks on me, but that's because I don't allow it to get all gunked up.

True. Remember the gmail problem which used to happen on opera(now, that problem is gone though). AJAX is implemented fine on latest opera, though still not on IE standards, but, its quite there.
To me, it provides the fastest browsing experience

AJAX in Opera is implemented the proper way, yes, but websites don't write Ajax in the proper way, they write in the way that IE supports it many times.
But Opera IS much faster.
Keep in mind, those ads, as annoying and a pain in the ass as they are, keep this website free.
I used to run a forum/community type of site similiar to this one a few years back that had about 30,000 members ... and you have no idea how much it costs to do so. This site is considerably larger than the one I owned... and Between paying for transfer and storage ..etc... it gets expensive... and keep in mind you make cents per ad ...
So i think its something we just need to accept... or maybe donate to xda, so they can get a more powerful server or less ads.

which i can't find by searching for others' opinions.
I downloaded netfront 3.5 for my vogue and since then its acting pretty weird. Whenever i have the netfront on for about 5-10 mins i get a call from "111" or if i wanna go to my contacts no number/name etc is available. Does anyone know whats wrong?

It seems to be a bug in netfront 3.5. I confirmed that while netfront is running, my contacts don't show. After exiting netfront they return. Weird!
Humm.... I have neve had any issues with that. Just tried it before I posted this and still no problems.
Nor I.
Netfront 3.5 has been working flawlessly for me for about a week, and it is, by far, the best browser I've seen for the platform!

Gotta take that back - sort of!
It works great as long as I close it after I'm done with it.
If I leave it running in the background, I have all kinds of problems like message counts being off, and phone locking up.

here u go, enjoy
I use Fring, which has AIM/YM/MSN/VOIP, etc etc etc included in 1.
Also allows for file transfers, which I use quite a bit.
i use IM+ but there are other apps out there as well
I use palringo. I find that AIM's client is slow and it crashes after using it for a while.
never had any crashes with aim, it works well with me everyday, no custom rom just the latest SEUS update
i tried AIM's official program before... horribly laggy. But that was with R1A. Maybe the R2A firmware performs better with it?

thanks for ur cab.
i installed this application and that went well.
after i input my screen name and password and press sign in, it was on the
loading screen for about 3 minutes. then a error pop up
saying "AIM server error: 12007" do you know waht that is?
thanks alot
not sure what that is dude, check ur connection settings and restart the app. good luck
I use beejive for aim ... the interface is nice and lte
I use palringo for the rest.

hmm i soft reset my phone and ran the application with wifi and it worked nicely!!
but now im trying to logg on using edge and its still connection...
if i may ask...wat data connection are u using??
and again, Thanks alot for sharing this!
my location is barbados, i am using digicel as my carrier with an unlimited high-speed data plan, it only takes a few seconds for me to connect, i guess its the speed u are connecting with, maybe your edge is slow, i had the same probs with our edge connection as well before i made the switch. when i connect via active sync, the speeds are practically the same as my unlimited data plan which is nearly 1mbps.
Mobile AIM is terrible. I tried to use it, but it is way to laggy. Use BeeJive, it is by far the best I've tried. Very slick, very clean, and very fast interface...plus its free! In terms of its fluid interface, you could be using the iPhone.
http://www.beejive.com/download/winmo/
hmm i see, guess my connection sucks.. thanks for the info.
imma try the beejive version and see...
i dont know why i am the only person who experienced no problems with the mobile aim, the only prob i have with mobile aim is that it wont allow you to change your display pic
Skyfire 1.0 Released Today:
What’s new in Skyfire 1.0
Improvements specific to the Skyfire 1.0 release include enhanced navigation,
zooming and interaction as well as faster launch, power optimization, and new search functionality. Having previously delivered rich media and text readability on a small screen, the focus of this latest release was helping users get to the
content they want more quickly.
As the new version starts-up, users can type a search or URL in the Superbar
even while Skyfire is connecting in the network. After a web page loads, smooth scrolling and zooming – similar to an iPhone – helps users navigate the page more quickly. Likewise, now users can click on links on the first page load
without having to zoom first.

I'm going to install this myself and I will report back shortly on whether or not they've made the jump to true VGA.
UPDATE: Skyfire has NOT gone true VGA, it is still a QVGA image stretched to VGA... Quite disappointing... The load time however does seem to be greatly reduced...
NOTE: See page 2 (post 12) for solution to

yes tried it, no change.
went to the offical forum and they tell u to close the program then delete the prefs file in application data and restart to fix it but dont work for me.
i have a sony x1 and i live in the uk (o2)
Had the same problem as well. Found a solution on the Skyfire forum.
Go into:
applications data/skyfire and rename the file "pref" to "_pref"
now restart Skyfire and it should work fine.
There seems to be a problem with the autorouting code which should detect which country the phone is currently in.
Hope this helps.

Skyfire uses Firefox on their servers to render things, or at least the Gecko engine.
As for the browser, though, I'm more and more disappointed. While it was my only real option on my old Q9H, on the VGA Fuze, everything in 1.0 looks blurrier than it did in the previous release and 0.9 wasn't exactly sharp either.

That's because the app is rendered in QVGA resolution then stretched to VGA, what you're looking at is 4 VGA pixels for every 1 QVGA pixel it would normally display. It IS still the best solution to the "How do I use flash sites on my PPC?" question...
The Good:
It's fast
Plays Flash
The Bad:
QVGA resolution only.
No tabbed browsing.
Bookmarks apparently need to be manually typed in.
Menu size is small (in general not finger friendly)
Zoom is clunky (default zoom is too small, max zoom is too small, zoom works by button presses instead of slider)
I'll stick with opera and my dedicated YouTube app for now.
Good looking out for this, wasn't able to get the 1.0 cab from get.skyfire.com

Only way I know of to get this to work is to use Skyfire to log into facebook. Since Skyfire "supports" flash.
Cherrs will give that a go and see thank you

omg! it works!! thank you!! it's unbeleivably slow, but works!!
maybe there's a way of just playing the flash game without having to run the whole Facebook page. I beleive that would make it a helluva more playable. I've been looking all over the page code for the swf, but had no luck. Maybe there's more to it than that?
not sure if it will work or not but try this

I play Pet Society on FB, so I googled Facebook Pet Society log in, and bookmarked that page. Now I enter my FB user name/password and it takes me directly into Pet Society.
