Youtube.com going to m.youtube.com

i try to go to youtube.com and it keeps going to m.youtube.com.. can ne 1 please help me?? I have the isp.cingular connection i'm using too.

Been getting the same thing, and trying to figure out why. I would love to know what the deal is. I was hoping to see how the plugin works with the wifi and all that.

As usual
Hello
I'm not an expert, but I can tell you that most of the important web sites, look for the users browser to render the site for them in the best way possible. When you go to google, maybe cnet, hotmail, en others, they recognize you as a mobile surfer, so they know they can't give you a 1024*768 website version. Instead, they give you acces to their "mobile version web site" with less width, graphics and texts.
Youtube has his services for mobile users in m.youtube.com, the videos are not flash videos like the full web site and you dont have full access to ALL the videos. They stream you videos instead.
By the way, it seems that My ATT8525 doesn't have the codecs because I couldn't watch any videos in youtube.

It's a registry key that determines whether or not you go to the wap versions of websites, connecting through wap.cingular.com or isp.cingular.com doesn't make a difference.
I found the key after a lot of searching, but I don't remember now which key it ultimately was. Also, I don't recommend changing it. Pocket IE was downright broken when trying to view the full versions of these websites after the key was changed.
Instead, I recommend hunting around for Picsel Browser, which is a far better solution for viewing fullsized webpages on a small screen. I'm pretty sure it was posted here somewhere so you can brush up on your searching skills and find it.
An even better browser for these things would be Thunderhawk. Thunderhawk is not free, but there is no question that it is the best.

http://www.youtube.com/?nomobile=1

Whats weird is now that I can go to the website, I can't use the FlashVideo Plugin for TCPMP to play videos off youtube. I had it working and now neither my treo or my 8525 work. Its so odd, anyone else have this?

it stinks... I also get the mobile versions for like espn and cnn.com

Anonymous Surfing On WM5? And the best Browser For Anonymity.

My ISP "airtel" is providing me a gprs/edge connection for the last two days from now. But the damn problem is that I can't download anything more that 3mb. So I have downloaded several browsers to find the same thing in the internet explorer option to change the proxy. But I cant do that in pocket IE because doesn't have that option. So I tried Different Browsers to check if they have there own anonymouse proxy settings.
BROWSER Built in Proxy Settings SPEED Rating
OPERA 9.5 NONE Fast 10/10
OPERA 8.65 NONE Very Fast 8/10
WINDOWS INTERNET EXPLORER NONE Fast 5/10
MINIMO YES SLOW 4/10
FTX NONE MEDIUM 6/10
OPERA MINI Running On jbed NONE VERY FAST 8/10
NetFront 3.5 YES ULtra Fast 9.5/10
Webby NONE Medium 6/10
IF THERE ARE MORE PLEASE LET ME KNOW...
MINIMO DEOSN"T WORK ON GPRS, It works Well WITH LAN/WLAN But Doesn't work with egprs/gprs
...... NOTHING WORKED...
HELP ME!!!
NEtfront 3.5 Supports proxy but i Haven't tested it yet.
So far the fastest is Netfront which makes you browse like hell. Like you have a 8mbps connection. Although Its fast and effective it has very a big problem. The downloader has a problem that needs to be fixed but no problem with WLan. If you have slow connection, I would not recommend this. Rather FTX or PocketIE.

You've left out Skyfire, but it's still in beta testing, so maybe not a good candidate for this, yet.

I never could get skyfire to start on my Wizard..It would start and say "Lost network connection. Please try again later." and the only option is exit

That's probably because you didn't get yourself invited to be in the beta test. You have to go to Skyfire's website, and sign up for it. You give them your cell number and phone type, and if they need someone with your model, they send you a text message after configuring their servers to approve your phone when it requests service for Skyfire. Then you can install the browser, enter your password (only during the first run of the browser), and after that, you're off and running.
If you don't register, you don't get in. Period.
FWIW, I wouldn't bother, if what you're seeking is web anonymity. Skyfire has your phone number and presumably can easily tie you to your browsing history through that. Probably the exact opposite of whatever pr0n search you're planning....

Na,... I woudn't use skyfire until its out,..
Ive Tried another browser... its called Ucweb and its in java
I run it under jbed
I can pass the 3mb limit but the speed is very slow
I am still open for suggestions

Hi, due to your suggestin i tried to download netfront but cant. can someone upload it? please?

just wondering , any of this browsers support streaming videos ? ( like youtube )

SKYFIRE SUPPORTS IT!!!!!
Even YOUTUBE, THE HARDEST SITE YET KNOWN (ESPN)
Support for quicktime streams to!
But you have to sign up for the next beta
Ive already sign up (two accounts... don't tell them!)

hehehe i won't
the thing is, skyfire is open only for the united states and not for th e whole world ... plus no one seems to crack it.
so for middle eastern like me it will not work .

CAN THIS WORK?
My brother lives in the usa,can I give his phone number instead of mine and just email him to give me the download link.
I THINK THIS SHOULD WORK?
MAN!!!! I WANT SKYFIRE!

This can only work if the phone trying to access SkyFire has the same phone number and valid password as the account which signed up for the beta. Sign up with your own phone number, phone type, etc. or you just won't be able to use SkyFire, period. That is the very definition of a closed test. See their FAQ page for more info.
See, I could upload the cab file right here, and you still won't be able to use it... go ahead and try for yourself.

Damn, there's gotta be a way to bypass the login and phone number. how about just freaking remove the authentication

SkyFire is resolving pages server-side. Without a valid login, you just can't get to their server, so you never see the intarwebs. Pretty simple.

Skyfire v0.85 Free

Sorry for my bad english im from Mexico
The guys of skyfire has released it. You dont have to register for the free beta.
Skyfire v0.85 The best internet browser
Description:
Skyfire brings the PC internet experience to your mobile. Watch videos on YouTube or Hulu, connect with your friends on Myspace or Facebook, shop on Amazon, or listen to music. If you can experience it on your computer, you now can do it with Skyfire on the go. Skyfire is fast, easy to use and available for free for many smart phone models.
What is Skyfire?
Skyfire is a free, downloadable mobile web browser that allows you to experience the internet on your phone exactly like on your PC. Now, you can use the full web from your mobile phone with unprecedented speed and simplicity – without the typical restrictions and limitations that current ‘mobile web’ efforts offer. It’s “The Web”, not some mobile web.
A brand new browsing experience.
Mobile browsing exactly like your PC.
With Skyfire on your phone you can for the first time ever shop, watch web video, listen to web music and stay connected on your social network -- just as you would on your PC. We're talking about full-featured PC versions of your favorite websites. Skyfire gives you speedy page loads, full audio, images and video. From Myspace, Facebook, YouTube to Hulu - it's the full web experienced on your phone.
The real web, served-up right.
Unlike other mobile browsers, Skyfire supports the desktop version of Adobe Flash applications so sites, including those that serve-up video and music, are rendered exactly as you would expect - just like your PC. You will instantly recognize the content, be familiar with the page layout -- which is not true for most mobile browsing experiences. We support all that's good about today's web - not just Flash, but also Silverlight, Ajax, QuickTime and more. And even better: Skyfire evolves with the newest capabilities without you having to do anything.
Go anywhere, see anything.
Not only do we deliver video and audio, we also deliver everything else you routinely do on the web. Get maps, check sport scores, view weather forecasts, read the news, check flights, and stay active on your favorite social networks. From the Top 10 of websites all the way down to the obscurest of pages - you'll do it all from your mobile phone just like you do on your PC.
Blazing fast.
Skyfire is faster than any mobile web browser you've ever used. You'll load web pages as fast as your PC and eliminate the long delays and error messages you get with other mobile browsers. Don't take our word for it, check out this bake-off by Laptop Magazine and see how we handily outclassed the iPhone 3G.
Easy to use.
It's easy to experience the PC web on your phone with Skyfire's clickable content and intuitive navigation. We know it's a small screen and that's why we made navigating intuitive with full screen, thumbnails and adaptable zooming modes. You simply and quickly get to exactly where you want to be on a page - navigating at speeds that make the experience enjoyable.
Quick content and simple search.
All the places you routinely visit are a click away. We have handy links to popular websites on the start page. Your bookmarks and your browsing history is just a click away. Better yet, you can even bookmark your specific view (zoom level, position) of content on a web page to get exactly to the right place in one click.
We made search simple. Use our nifty SuperBar to perform a search or enter a URL from a single field. We even suggest the most commonly used search keywords as you type. Plus the search results are from Google and Yahoo and are presented in easy to read tabs for each category: web, images, and videos, and maps. Simple and it's all a click away.
Plenty of handy features.
We're always adding new features as we roll out our beta releases. Recently, we made it easy to share and easy to find mobile sites.
Discover something on the web that you want to share? Now you can send it to your friends from Skyfire via a text message. We even shorten the URL to easily fit into a single SMS text message with room to spare for your own words.
Don't like the big web page on your small screen? Want to go to the mobile site instead? If we find a mobile version of the same site, Skyfire lets you know - then you decide if you want the mobile or full website. Simply look for a 'Mobile Version' link at the top left of a page. Skyfire even renders iPhone specific web sites nicely.
On the phone you own - and free!
You can load Skyfire on your existing Windows Mobile (version 5 or 6) or newer Symbian Series 60 phones in a few steps. In a matter of minutes, you can install it either over the air or via your PC. It's free - what more can we say. No need to buy an expensive new phone and get locked into a new contract just because you want a better mobile internet experience.

Many have been aware of it since the development started. I'm not saying you can't post it, just do these types of post in the General forum.
Also, I suggest removing your download link.

you are right champ but here is so many software that should not been here and a first "free" skyfire beta is really interesting.
I installed the cab but skyfire finds no connection ? It starts searching and runnes hsdpa on my polaris but i only see "connecting..." but nothing happens. Is this still limited for US citizens ? or only for wwe ROMs ?

Shouldn't be limited to the US, Skyfire's page gives the option for users outside the US and doesn't require the login anymore.
EDIT: Looks like they only have US, Canada, & UK listed for avail countries. Not bad though, ESPN loaded in under 5 sec, video playback is decent, but I still hate the UI.

0.8.5 does not work for me, in France... go back to v0.8.0.
Phone : Trinity

i begin to hate this skyfire idiots. why does a application ony run in three countries !

It's likely to do with regions. I tried accessing www.hulu.com from it, knowing that it won't work on a desktop browser as I'm in the UK, and guess what? Doesn't work as it knows I'm in the UK.. As all pages are pre-rendered on the Skyfire servers, that means that I'm being served by a Skyfire server in the UK. If I were being served by a US server, Hulu would have worked.

:bah
no wvga support

Skyfire works great here in Canada!
Got to get used to the browser but, overall, it's decent.
Well, it's a good FREE alternative to PIE.... no tough to beat

Im from Mexico and Skyfire works very well on wifi
I have a Blueangel

Skyfire is good. I have tried the previous version which didn't support surfing via-proxy setting. Has this version fix that?

correct me if I'm wrong..but this has been out for at least a month hasn't it? I've been using it for at least a month

last version doesn't work!

ok it installs loads then dont work just ses locating and nothing happens this is over wifi and it works as im posting this via opera any ideas?

No, because some of the Opera builds have been redeveloped by users here, not to mention the work it takes to obtain the builds. Skyfire is a free app for anyone to download. Big difference, pay attention before you decide to argue with my point.

Thanks daniel2020,
Now I can use Skyfire in my country, as I can't download it in the official website!!!!
It is working here, but there are a few considerations: it is not real VGA, Opera is, opera is more zoom friendly.

Mach5 web acceler!!! awesome on the X1

OMG! has anyone tried the Mach5 web aceller browser for windows mobile on their x1s? This browser is freaking the best ever!!! it renders pages way faster than opera mobile, way faster than skyfire, and in way better quality!!!! has neat settings like, page width (800 pixels or 1024 pixels),Pc or mmobile viewing, double click zoom ratio, you also have an option to use a sliding zoom, wich also has a orientation changer wich works on the spot!!! But best of all it suprts ajax, flash!!(yes flash, you can watch youtube right in the browser, stop, play, or even change to full screen viewing!! guys really, if you havent checked it out, try it, youll love it!!!

hmmm. i go to investigate...be back with results

strboy, please let me know when you have results!
it sounds promising =D

OK....checked it out, its not free. and nowhere on the website does it state how much it is, or even a buy now option
it does say "Mach5 Web for Windows Mobile OPEN Free Trial is valid until the middle of May 2009."
you also have to fill out a form...name number..ect ect....Im not downloading for a few days trial...It doesnt seem worth it to me. if anyone else wants to the site is
http://www.netacceler.com/home/main.html

Dude, but of course your not goin g to be able to download from the official site! First of all you need a korean mobile number to download. I got it off the net, if you know what i mean, if you search you will find it. beleive me this is awesome!
tested youtube, works excellent, all videos, also tested facebook as well, and all videos in facebook work as well as(im not jking on this one)the instant messeging also works!!!!! this is just how a mobile browser should be.

Sounds a bit like advertisement. Anyway you don't have to put a real number. Just have a valid email

Hmm...is it allowed to ask for a cab here?
Because I guess it is just an advertisement and there is no cab floating anywhere...
Greets
Edit: Have found a cab file but browser cant connect to the internet...what a shame
Looks good though =)

just installed the trial version.
pretty good fast browser.
best thing it autodetects flash videos, like break.com and plays it in the built in player in medium/good quality.
here's the trial cab i got after filling in some fake address.

Looks awesome, sounds great... BUT.
1) It won't go, doesn't properly detect my internet connection.
2) Looks like you're gonna have to pay a monthly fee to use it.
EDIT: On a few later tries, I sometimes got it to load a page, but it would randomly disconnect. Very unstable.

well for me ii have no problems connecting at all, the only problems i found so far are:
1: the mouse or pointer for some reason it dont work, it just scrolls the page.
2: Video quality is excellent compared to Skyfire, but Skyfire has more compatibility with videos ex: apple trailers(skyfire can handle them, mach5 cant)
3:Of course that you have to pay for it. (dont know the version i have expires or not, cause i did not download from official site, will update if it does thou.)
My last impresions of this browser are:
1: very fast, a tas faster than Opera and just in par, or a bit slower than Skyfire
2:The quality of rendered pages are excellent compared to Skyfire, and about on par with Opera.
3:Video quality is way better than skyfire by a long shot!! but has less video compatibility.
Now only if skyfire ups their video and rendering quality it would blow this away. Except for the built in player of course wich is an awesome feature of mach5.
For now it stays on my x1 as an alternative. Very good, but not perfect.
just my 2 cents.

So to start it off, I must say WOW that this browser is def. something pretty interesting!! very smooth loads quick an works fast!! I have to say that im liking it so far an what it has to offer!! I also like how if you viewing a few pages an you click the button that shows how many pages ur on, you can swipe back an forth between them kinda like a cover flow!! To bad its on a trail issue an that then you prob have to buy it or something, that im not totally sure off but I hope to see more come from this company!!

Mach5 Web browser
Thanks for answer.
I did it (hit on 'trial'), but in doesn't run.

For me it says connecting... all the time!
Mah, want to try it out!
Greets

Can the people that have connection issues try to go to the comm manager manually and start the connection before opening mach5 to see if that works? just a though that might help. Now im just waiting for Opera Turbo to come out to see its greatness! Still with mach5 in my x1 working great, to bad i guess it will expire.I just wish they updated it, and made it freeware, or atleast a decent price, not onn a monthly basis, i mean if the little problems get washed out i dont mind paying $10 or $20 for this.
ajajajajaja this browser just gets funier!! iwent to dslreports.com and it allowed me to do the flash download test, with the speedometer in all its glory!! ajajaja Download speed 1363Kb/s Upload speed 1225Kb/s, of course not real speeds since this is server oriented, but just too funny, is like im on my real pc at home!!!
ajaja now y went to testmy.net(wich for some reason doesnt work with my opera) and i got 2517Kb/s download.

What is the battery hit like? That has been my problem when I tried Skyfire, it just drained my battery.

SkyFire 1.5 beats IE6, Opera and Mozilla Fennec

Two weeks ago I was using the Nokia N900 for at least a month and was able to test browser over my GPRS connection by rigorously testing it on heavy flash sites
Being a GPRS connection, I expected a slow loading of the pages but the content was displayed perfectly well after a few minutes. Last week I bought myself the HD2 and since then been testing IE6 and Opera over the same GPRS connection, but sadly most of the sites complain of upgrading to the newer Flash plug-in, which is not possible at the moment.
Today I decided to install Skyfire 1.5 and to my shocking surprise every page that I had visited on the N900 loaded 4x faster and even the heavy flash sites loaded on the fly.
The core site that I concentrated was 2advanced.com
Load this on SkyFire and see at what blazing speeds the Flash loader gets filled and the beautiful flash UI is displayed.
Await to hear your comments and views.

I love it too. Very quick and I can access mesh.com which is programmed in silverlight. I just wish it had autorotate and pinch2zoom.

It does have autorotate, and pinch2zoom you can enable it by running BsB Tweaks 1.5 and adding the app into the Pinch to Zoom tweak section.

Skyfire is good but it eats your battery when viewing media content!

Is it a matter of licensing or technology that Opera has problem running flash sites?

I faced a similar problem with Fennec on the N900. I guess its a general issue of draining battery while viewing Flash/Media content via a Web Browser

i dont like it..i tried for half hour a couple of weeks ago...its strange i dont remember what i didnt like but i remember that i thought "take too many initiatives"

I know! I just meant that it wasn't standard to the software. You have to take additional steps to activate those features.

Skyfire is my browser for flash content. That's all. For casual browsing, Opera is faster, and a lot more comfortable.
Skyfire may be the best mobile browser when it comes to flash, but, for everything else, Opera/Safari/Chrome are far ahead. You should include "Flash" somewhere in the title of this topic.

loving the new skyfire update, a huge leap from what it was..

Completely agree, Opera fulfills nearly all my needs, and I occasionally use Skyfire for flash stuff (other than youTube, which I prefer the dedicated app for).
