I'm having issues with the Internet Explorer, I can't do internet banking, I tried to install Opera Mini but it won't work, and I tried Iris and that's not any better.
Does anyone have any suggestions on what else to try? I haven't had a Windows Phone in a while so I'm out of the loop. I really don't want to sell this and go back to S60 after 3 days.
Thanks.
** EDIT ** Got Skyfire and it works Great.
hello,
Have u tried opera mobile 9.5 beta?¿?¿?
http://www.opera.com/products/mobile/
it works on my treo, i´ve exeprienced a bug when closing in the right-upper corner "X" and next time i want to open the browser doen´st work but you only have to close it, by options > exit
but about internet banking, i´ve never tried on my treo. maybe someone have tried.
good luck, relax & enjoy your machine
Why isn't anyone adding Skyfire as the default browser on any of these ROMS? Just asking. I've heard great things about Skyfire but I'm guessing you guys must know something that I don't. I'm sure there has to be a reason. Would it work with the Push Internet function on Rhodium?
When I had my smartphone I used skyfire all the time, but when I started using HTC devices skyfire just looked crappy to be honest. Its pretty low resolution and opera looks soo much better.
Yup yup!
Low res
Crappy looking
I ONLY use it for flash player to stream videos off websites.
i knew there was a reason.
but does Opera support flash and play videos on as many sites as Skyfire?
Robes1,
Opera doesn't support flash, but you can stream off it. I have Coreplayer so when I click on a video off a website like youtube. Coreplayer would open up and play the video. Unlike Skyfire it would open right from the site and play.
I have a different problem, ive had my TP2 for 2 days now and flashed my first ever rom onto a phone just last night (thanks to the great walkthrough on this site)
So I went to put skyfire on my phone but when I go to the skyfire site on my phone it tells me it's not compatible with my phone? I don't think I'm doing something right. I downloaded the skyfire software to my computer, same with google maps, and I guess I just dont know how to add applications to my phone. I couldn't find a walkthrough on how to add apps through any faq or with the search function (including google searching lol)
I apologize for being such a noob but can anyone help? I imagine adding an app should be as simple as clicking dragging and setting up but I guess I'm just not technologically smart enough to grasp this. Any help would be appreciated!
make sure that you are installing the cab file. If I remember correctly, you can download a pc installer and a cab file. the cab file is what you install on the phone. I use skyfire all the time even though it looks terrible on my beautiful TP2 screen.

Opera does support flash. Search for fixOperaFlash on xda, and you'll find it The only thing opera doesn't support = Silverlight, which skyfire does

hmm... Silverlight's great and all, but I see it being used more for interactive applications than passive media. I thought that skyfire wasn't being built for games?
roms not having manila folder
about everyone adding opera as default browser having it embedded in the rom is a bit of a pain. it seems that a lot of them are removing the manila folder out from application data folder and also removing the internetportal.xml file. that file was able to be edited and have you launch whatever browser you wanted from the internet tab in touchflo3d. only rom i have found that still has this folder and file is Romeos rom v1.04 which is available to download. u can then go here http://www.fuzemobility.com/how-to-change-the-tf3d-default-browser/ and make skyfire your default. works with romeo rom

Not only does it display poorly on newer WVGA devices, Skyfire is not ready for daily use
I was using it yesterday after a fully charged battery and in 2 hrs my battery needed to be charged again
skyfire is kinda low res and isn't as appealing on a wvga screen.

Yeah but is it functionally better than opera?
I have IE, Opera 9.7 and Opera Mobile. Not sure if I should try to uninstall one of the previous and install skyfire.

Opera runs smoother than Skyfire, Stick with Opera.
A short time back Skyfire did come out with a version that greatly improves the resolution on VGA and WVGA devices.
Skyfire uses a proxy server. So your data all travels to and from someone elses storage. There is the potential of them collecting personal info on you. Not that I'm paranoid, but it is a good reason for a manufacturer not to build it into a device.
Skyfire tends (IMHO) to not handle a lot of different web sites. I have more issues with it then Opera.
But I keep it installed in case I want to visit a flash enabled site.
It looks ugly and it doesn't use the zoom bar.
Wait, so it supports silverlight? Does that mean I can watch netflix on my phone?

Skyfire 1.5 is nicer to look at and will allow you flash on over 90% of the internet sites.
if it worked with games i would be all over it, otherwise my broswer of choice is opera mini.
i've noticed most flash content on websites are in the form of advertisement anyway lol
This is the latest and greatest skyfire for tp2.. its a close 2nd to opera.. looks nice now and loads quicker.. Enjoy!
I'm trying to watch my favorite TV-show at this address: http://ingurapresei.antena1.ro/ but my HD2 won't play in any browser I tried (IE, Opera, Skyfire). What am I doing wrong?
I don't think Flash Player works on the HTC HD2 ie Browser yet, but i could be wrong.

You are wrong matey - it does
It needs a later version of flash than the one that is installed on your device. Unfortunately, it's the latest version for windows mobile. Until a newer version comes out, there will always be some flash objects that simply won't play.
Sorry.
I'm surpised you say SkyFire doesn't work though. I never use it personally, but everyone else seems to rave about it as a flash player.
reinstall skyfire...it will work....
I reinstalled Skyfire and now it won't connect to internet although Opera does. I tried downloading Skyfire from PC and from device and then installing but no luck in any cases. It still does not connect and keeps on poking me with an error message that daoesn't let me close skyfire from menu and forces me to End Task it.
Ok. I got it working but it still doesn't play the videos. Please go to that site and tell me if it works on your device.
post link to flash player
post link to flash player that works please. TIA

Hello folks.. this is not another FB related thread...
i can access the full facebook website with my opera 9.7, the thing is that the site doesn't display properly! i am unable to see the wall! i have javascript active, plugins enabled and fixoperaflash 1.5.5.20 working properly with ieactivex.dll registred, but with no success.
I am able to view it properly on Internet explorer though... so it's opera related... don't know whats wrong! youtube works perfectly for instance, and the thing is that it worked before but i was installing some opera builds, and trying to add flash and then it got broken, and i was never able to view it again, no matter what i do.
tried:
-deleting user profile
-reinstalling opera
-installing other version
-view all possible configs
nothing.. suggestions appreciated!
i can see that i am doomed... DAMN!
hi. try to use another app like facebook or dolphin browzer HD
I know this may sound crazy but disable java script in opera 9.7.
I too have found various websites not working with the java in opera 9.7 so its now disabled and much mch better.
Websites now load superfast on hd2 without advertising and commercial crap...java is ****..
