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.

hi,
lately ive been trying to leave comments or deny friends and such on myspace.com but when i do this, i always get an error message from myspace (the oops one). i have also noticed this on my friend's sidekick and brother's wizard. im thinking it has to do with the mobile devices internet settings but im not too sure. if anyone has an explanation or fix to this, then thatd be great. thnx in advance.
Easy
1) Delete your myspace account

Use Opera Mini (free) or Netfront 3.3 (WAY better than PIE). Either one of those can log into Myspace & leave comments. PIE can log in sometimes but cannot leave comments. Something about the javascripting and stuff :lol:

I gave you a way to never have a problem with it again :lol:
Seriously though, my guess would be myspace uses ome type of more advanced javascript then a thinned-down browser like PIE can understand, so it doesn't work correctly.
As David said, just use Opera Mini. It works great.
And delete your myspace :wink:
use http://proxy.bz it works just fine
minimo from firefox works with myspade as well. And is also free.
o an another
i just tweak the reg to pIE 5 to pIE 7 and works a charm you should try you'll be surprised
My opinion, and proven, myspace is really a corporation, now that it has many users, its is revealing its true side. You can really look into My Space phone's such as "helio" phones, and the Helio company. (America). I am retailing Helio, and their selling faster than v3's when they came out.

Works like a charm. I was on since jan 04 and i just deleted mine 2 months ago. I felt like a loser since myspace was one of the first and last things i would do for the day. After dealing with it's slow server lately due to it's dramatic growth, i decided it was better not to have it because of all the frequent bugs and lagging issues.
Myspace is gay...y is everyone letting it replace texts and phone calls which mean more to friends. That's just my opinion so please don't comment about it.

I agree with you. Myspace is gay, but hey, if it's helping me pay my bills I'm fine with it
Myspace is for showing off friends you have, but Nothing beats meeting your friends at the pool hall on Sundays
i think you guys who hate myspace, think about it too much. Its just one mroe thing you can do if you're bored. It doesn't replace phone calls. Its juts one more way to keep in touch with people if you choose to. Myspace is only a bad thing if you let it own you.
And as for the topic. Minimo works fine for me. As does opera. I'd be interested in hearing that PIE hack though.
Hey k2snowboards88, just don't take it a bad way where just stating our opinion. I've seen girls walk around with "Have I seen you on myspace" shirts. My friend, she does that, I joke at her all the time.
And the PIE hack, if you download Tweak2k2, you can automatically change or disguise it as IE7.
You can use Tweak2k2 three times then you have to pay for it
haha, good to see myspace losing people :lol:
As for the PIE hack, you can change PIE's User Agent settings in the registry so that it's telling web servers it's IE 6.0, not IE 4.01 as it reports now.
Make sure PIE is closed.
In you registry, navigate to:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Internet Settings\5.0\User Agent
You need to change the Version key to a value of "MSIE 6.0"
You may also need to change the Platform key to a value of "Windows NT 5.1"
Reopen PIE and you should be good to go.
Or if you don't feel comfortable doing that you can install PIEplus and it has a built-in option for easily switching your user agent.

MSIE 6.0 to 7.0 and it should work
Weird never had a problem with myspace on my cell.
i tried the 6.0 to 7.0 but its still having problems leaving comments. i also changed the windows nt and tried with the proxy on/off. any ideas?
Saw this on youtube.com. It is similar to the IPhone browser. The browser where you view the entire page then you can zoom in on certain part.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LP_rMefqWj8&feature=related
I asked this question a couple of weeks ago, and was told it's MS Deepfish.
It looks pretty good, but is a closed beta at the moment and lacks a lot of vital functions for a browser (form posting, cookies etc..)
It does look good though, although the last I heard was that MS weren't going to carry on developing it - they are working on something better.

Has anybody tried this on there Titan yet?
http://www.engadgetmobile.com/tag/6on6
I've used IE6 from no2chem's NueROM-M 201 and it rocks! You can find download here for that ROM. I've heard not-so-good things about using IE6 before I actually used it, and I have to say it probably is one of those that you either love or hate. I happen to love it. New download manager, better zoom support, JS, CSS, Flash, switch between Desktop and Mobile code view. I have to say - as a web developer and WinMo user for the better part of two years - do everything you can to get this application. It is awesome!
Jacob,
Glad to hear that you liked the new IE6, I can't wait to try it.
I am sure someone will be looking for it, so sere's a direct link to the standalone IE6 .cab: HERE.
Thanks in advance,
Matt!
Does the cab, IE6, replace IE Mobile? How is performance on the titan, with its limited memory, is IE6 actually usable or is it like Opera 9 (Out of memory errors)?
I'm on the NueROM as well and I found it to be very slow - especially when used to browse forums.

thanks, can you tell us where is cab from?
Unable to find app
I installed the cab, it asked to restart my phone, I did so and now I am unable to find any changes. I've repeated this process twice. The first time I installed to main memory with no joy. The second I installed to the memory card and was unable to locate any changes at all in any folders. I tried launching pIE to see if it was just a overall replacment also to no avail. I could use some help if I've don'e something incorrect.
Yeah I see no changes. Is this really the right cab? Hopfully if I uninstall it, it won't delete my mobile IE
Since I backed up everything, Im very daring.
I've tested this uninstall for you and it doesn't remove pIE
Im going to take apart the cab and see whats in it.
**edit**
I don't know what Im looking for to be honest. It went quicker to view it than I thought.
Thanks I appreciate it. I would like to know where the thread of that attachment came from.
Hmm. The more I use the IE Mobile and read about it, the more it seems to be missing. I have the browser set to mobile view, yet it stays in full desktop style. Had this problem in NueROM and now in GaMedic's ROM. Was under the impression it doesn't work - now I wonder if it just isn't working on my Mogul for some reason.
EDIT - Oops. I need to clarify - the mobile/desktop toggle works in that it disguises my mobile when I goto sites that auto-detect. I really miss the One-Column style browsing. Any way to bring that back?
Its really slow and the web pages dont fit the screen so I quickly removed it
hey guys, don not know, whether the problem may cause on other pages... but there is an issue with the website studivz.net.
I wrote more than three times to the sony ericsson-support...but they answered me to make a hard-reset and use opera mobile instead of internet explorer.
I thought they're just kidding me...because I wrote them that there are few people having the same problem USING OPERA on studivz.net...
ohere you may see the problem with a black col that becomes bigger and bigger each time I press any link on the page...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7cKCJ25a6zE
perhaps anybodyy of you know how to work around...
got the same problem on meinvz and other pages aswell.
just keep in mind ... the opera version u are using is still BETA. it has plenty of bugs (hardcoded text block formatting f.e.)
well ... we'll see what future versions and browser bring here.
I'm trying to contact opera...but there seems to be no support-mailaddress available?!
I sent the link to the German Sony Ericsson-support as well...hope they'll answer seriously...
and I noticet the support-team of studiVZ.

Have you tried netfront browser?
the 3.5 "concept version" is one of my favourites, not to everyones taste but might be worth a try.
http://www.access-company.com/products/mobile_solutions/netfrontmobile/browser/35_wm_tp.html
Obviously leaving a message on the opera forums would be a good thing as well.
I found a support-mail-contactmailer on the webpage of opera and informed them about this issue. sent the link to this video as well.
perhaps I'll give the netFront a try...but I'd more like to use the opera...
the page doesn't use flash...but ajax. for opening message-windows (in the video you may see, it doesn't work with opera...)
well, I installed the new official rom and this issue has gone.
works find now. but ajax-messages won't open at all.
is there anything I can do?
and I hate that you have to zoom in before you are able to click a link/input-field in the new build of opera.
hope they make this "feature" checkable per box in the settings.
or anybody may find out, what to change in the registry.
another fine thing would be a tutorial that describes how to set opera opening tabs in the background instead of making new tabs active.
especially on ebay this is bugging me.
and at last I think it would be great to set the identity of opera as desktop-browser. I hate google-, gmx-, or especially ebay-mobile... if I could choose the identity of opera all would be fine
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...

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
