Even if the cab was released, I'm pretty sure it checks your phone number anyway, considering the way the browser works is completely server side.
Here is your cab and all I did was use the search function... You should try it!!!! 10th tab from the left and 3rd from the right!

As mentioned above, you need to be registered for the beta and they are the ones that allow you to use it.
i'm near fed up with the skyfire beta.
i signed up January 28 (day ONE!) at about 3pm, and still have not receieved an invitation to the beta. They claim to be going first-come, first-serve, but if that's the case, a hell-of-a-lot of people signed up within hours of hearing about it.
They just sent me an update email, saying they'll try to get everyone in Beta 1 by the end of April.
Also, I see no reason to be fed up, considering they're providing you this service. They don't actually owe you anything, let's remember.

ummmm...... yea what he say
he really does have a point tho
Ive had the software for a little over 2 weeks now and unfortunetely im extremely unimpressed. The software is incredibly slow on my mogul. The only plus side I have to using this software is to watch you tube videos which Core Player already does in a much easier to usse interface. I'll get back to it once Beta 2 rolls around.
i also signed up on the first day and just got invited to use it a few days ago. i wouldn't worry too much, as mentioned before its really not that good. picture this... remote desktop on someone elses server, with sound, thats it. Its no opera mini, but its coming along slowly. Honestly its really not worth waiting for until version 1.0, and their on .5 still.
I got my invite about a week ago. And btw, i am from Finland. So they now allow non-us people too.
I love it. It's slow to browse but:
- Internet map-services work! A local one has sharper satellite pictures
- I can wach CNETTV.com! Picture isnt that good but audio comes always clear. (it also saves the zoom location on bookmarks. So i just click the bookmark and watch)
- Internet radio stations work! The ones that are flash. (like http://www.finetune.com/wii/ )
- I noticed that it also has atleast .wmv plugin installed on the server-side. So you can play direct-video links too.
I've had it for about 2 weeks, and I think it definitely will be the best browser when all the bugs are worked out. It can render basically any page on the internet perfectly. If you go to Youtube, for instance, it looks as if you went there in IE or Firefox on your regular computer. All of the flash stuff works. Google maps? Yes, you can use street view mode, and it's pretty snappy too.
It has two modes for touch input, which I will call cursor mode and hand mode (that's what the icons look like). This way, you can decide if you want to pan the entire webpage with hand mode or if you want to interact directly with a zoomed in flash applet with the cursor mode.
I signed up for the beta a few months back.

Over at this 31 page thread, you can gauge your sign up times with other users, and guess where you are on the list. Skyfire is just going in order of people who signed up, and it looks like they are still sending out invites to people who signed up on the first day still, jan 28th!
There is more info throughout

yes i have it and you cant get it ...j/k.....its a good browser but I have some reservations..one security....logging into sites that require passwds is not recommeneded with the browser as it is not secure....and the whole video thing is cool but its like logging into my pc using logmein and watching video...choppy....but I think the will improve on it...my 2 cents
my new iconset is out: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=378260
Is there any way to keep track of the amount of data transferred through GPRS.
I currently subscripe to 200mb transfer per month, so I would like to keep track of this or it could become pretty expensive for me
If you google, you'll find a couple of commercial ones, but I found this for free a while ago. To be honest, I haven't a clue where I got it from, but it was definitely free.
Ave it!
Thats exactly what I had in mind!
Thanks alot!!

You're welcome
It's a good app - very basic, but does exactly what you need. If I remember correctly, it also ensures that it's always running, until you manually stop it, so if you reboot your phone when it's running, it starts when the phone boots up again.
This looks pretty cool.
Shame it's not got a nicer looking icon
Scary how much data browsing full web pages uses but this device is just sooooo good at it

Yeah it sure works perfectly.
Nice to be able to set the date when it's supposed to restore as well.
Actually I don't find it in the task manager, at least not as a program, so it's no risk that one closes it unintentionally, which is great. It's really super
+1
Thanks
it'S a trial version ... go to "about" and it ask you for a serial number.
It most certainly is.
Well, as long as it's not a trial that will expire it works just fine for me, I don't need any other functions.
I seem to be getting red crosses in the connections is that normal?
That happens when your connection isn't active. If you start surfin the cross will probably disappear
Seems to work so far. 25kb just for email (imap4 headers) and weather update But again the problem that the connection doesn't disconnect by itself after 60sec (seems to happen when I update the weather, otherwise it seems to disconnect fine)
Did you do the tweak so it disconnects?
Remember to disable all auto-update, including weather and TIME!
Then it works with the autodisconnect.

Yes, I installed the cab and every auto-update is off. when browsing with opera or watching youtube it disconnects, but when I update weather manually it doesn't disconnect. wired.

Slinglplayer for Android is in the market people!! Just downloaded it!!!
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
ok finally got this loaded up. i have to say i am extremely disappointed with this software. compared to the ipod/iphone and even windows mobile this software ****ing blows. how the hell can you not have a favorites option anymore? that is probably the most important option to have in my opinion and its gone. no more channel logos to click on and go immediately to that channel who in their right mind would get rid of this feature. if its there, i can't find it anywhere and i've read the entire help file. the software is just so much worse i can't believe they call this an improvement. soooooo disappointed and yes i had to pay these ****suckers another $30 license.
anyone find out if the HDMI output works with this? it better...
from JAPAN
I can not find in market,
anyway I can search it from JAPAN?
You can just get a refund in the marketplace for it

I set up my main slingplayer from my laptop. From there I set up my favorites. Once you log into your account and select your Slingbox,all your favorites transfer over. Mine did when I went from WinMo to iPhone, and now iPhone to Android.
Just ordered me a Slingbox from Amazon, this is gonna be awesome! Goodbye Sprint TV LOL
The video quality on this thing beats the iPhone version by FAR.

This must be my problem i dont have any favorites setup on the desktop version. They didnt transfer over from winmo or my ipod.
Do you actually have favorites on android cause this makes no sense.
From what I'm reading everywhere is u have to set up your favs on your laptop or pc and they will transfer over to the android app. I'm at work so I haven't even hooked up my slingplayer yet. How does that work? I already bought the app, I know in Windows u had to put in a key but how does it work with android will it automatically connect to my slingbox since I already have an acct set up?
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
Thats what i mean they transferred over from winmo to my ipod. But i got nothing in android. Minimally you should see a favorites button or something and nothing is there and its not mentioned in the help file.
furthermore, i just setup and saved favorites on my laptop for the PC slingplayer. saved the favorites to my account, logged out....still have nothing in android.
does anyone actually have FAVORITES in android slingplayer?
Just read the description in the Market. Very disappointed this app wont work with my Sling Classic.

It probably will, they just don't officially support it. I bought a Slingbox AV on Woot for around $50-$60 many years ago and it just keeps finding new ways to be useful.
My Slingbox AV works perfectly with this app, huzzah for cable on the go!
Does anyone have the Pro-HD model? Are you able to get HD to your evo over just the 3g network? Theres no 4g in AZ right now so I'm contemplating on which slingbox to get.

When I loaded this up for the first time, I signed into my account and picked my Slingbox. Soon as the video loaded up, I tapped the screen, which brought up a huge grid view with various buttons, one is labeled Favorites. Upon clicked said button, it changes my channels to the favorites I have picked out and have had picked out back on my iPhone.
It will not bring up a seperate window listing them. If I want to add more favorites, I have to load up my desktop version, and choose them there. My desktop version (2.0.4.521) had a dropdown box with the guide. Its got a catagory labeled Mobile Favorites. The ones I chose there, are the channels that my Slingplayer for Android changes channels to when I press the favorites button on my phone..
I dont know how else to explain it lol
Any way around the $ 30 charge? I have 3 winmo licenses and would irritate me to purchase this again. Anyone have the apk?
Anyone knows whats the best Slingbox to purchase? I'm looking at the prices and I don't think 150 for Slingbox Solo + 30 for the App is a good deal for watching tv in my phone. :/
I don't see it in the market. I'm rooted and i'm running the stock rooted rom. I can download signed apps like google goggles and everything else but slingplayer is not showing. Also i just found out you have to have sling box so i may pass on this.

this is what i don't understand i don't have a FAVORITES button anywhere. its nowhere to be seen and i went and setup favorites on the desktop version. there must be some type of bug or something because in winmo and the ipod version i have favorites clear as day, in android....NOTHING.
please if you can take a screenshot showing favorites cause this is insane. minimally i should see an empty button.

I had a long chat with reps at Sling today regarding just this. I wanted to transfer my winmo licenses in lieu of having to purchase the software for Android.
According to the terms here..
If you purchased SlingPlayer Mobile for Windows Phone from the Windows Marketplace for Mobile, you can only transfer the registration to other Windows Phone devices via the Windows Marketplace for Mobile (via your PC or directly to your phone).

2Where can I buy the tv out cable for G2? I saw the htc commercial where it shows the phone plug to an hd tv with an hdmi cable for the phone now I would like to know where to buy this, anyone know please let me know I would love to hook it up to my tv to watch movies on my tv
nope we don't have tv out. you could load it up as a usb storage then use it and we might be able to dlna not too sure
Yeah I'm pretty sure it does not have TV out... Unless its hidden deep in the hardware somewhere, like the Nexus One had the FM tuner that modders were eventually able to find, access, and use.

Well I saw the commercial and the phone had tv out there we just need the htc media link and I would like to know where to get it
Here is the commercial
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KUeW6-HTtSU&feature=related
See we do have tv out
That video is pretty clear it's the Desire Z... not the "Tmobile G2"
But that's DNLA, not a cable too
How can we get "Locations"?
its the same phone. and the commercial does clearly state that if you tv isnt dnla compatable, its ok cuz you can use htc media link. it shows the phone with a wire plugged in.
i'm going to keep my eye on this. maybe its a sense thing?
Probably. The screen it shows where they select HDTV has got to be something on the ROM if they're advertising it out of the box. Hopefully in Cyanogen
coming soon

I was going to post about this as well... my brotehr told me about an app called Boxxe last night and I do not ahve an HDMI out on my laptop as well... So this was really bothering me that nither my phone or laptop had one. Please keep this tread going... Also in that video there a quite a few features that i don't see with my g2... like taging people on FB? anyone else notice this?
The phone can tag people on facebook tho. Go to the desktop facebook and just like in a real browser click tag and tap where you want to tag people those are the wonders of flash on a mobile. What good is the web without flash lmao that was for apple right there. After I got use to flash on a phone... man I can't use nothing else, I had my friends iphone 4 and I notice how crappy are webpages without flash! Thank you android you are the BEST!

Am I a tard i still can't find how to tag... It only says upload to FB and other sites when i click share... Do I need to have signed up with HTCsense or something?
No ypu don't need sense all you need is to go to the website on desktop mode and find the tagging link than just tap the on the pic to tag is that simple. If the browser sends you to mobile version just download dolphin browser hd and go to settings scroll down till you find user agent and choose desktop
When I try and sign up for HTC Sense it says to go to the Setup app but i don't see anything about HTC Sense on there... geez I guess I am a tard.

I never heard of "Samsung Dive" before but someone pointed out a link:
http://v2.samsungdive.com/help/guideRemoteControlsClear.do
Features for our beloved SGSII (all via internet/remote):
1. Track (helps you find your phone)
2. Lock (lock your phone and show a message on the screen)
3. Ring (helps you finding your phone by making it - who could have expected this - ring)
4. Call logs (check the call log)
5. Wipe out (completeley deletes all files on your phone, obviously remote control then won't work anymore.)
I like those features !
is it because of me or just that samsung dive is not interesting to anyone?
either way i get ignored lol.
Don't worry. I asked about this on a different forum, but no one was interested. I don't know why. I was happy when I found out that a service like this is existent on the Galaxy S II.

And these features are very nice to see as we pay a premium price (for a premium phone of course )
wow - very impressed with this. I have my S2 - it's beautiful and will enable this when my sim unlock comes through tomorrow! thanks
seems quite useful, i pay £15 a year for that + sms, contacts and image backup with wavesecure!
I posted this in another thread already, but I'll ask again....
Everything works for me... except the ' ring my phone' feature. Anyone else got this problem?

Btw has anyone tried Kies air? Truly phenomenal. Allows you to download and upload files to/from your phone from your computer's browser. No need for USB cables. And since it's over the same LAN network it's around the same speed as USB.
The interface isn't rushed either...it's fantastic.
Yeah, I really like Kies Air. But... Samsung Dive simply does not work for me...
It now works for me, looks like the website was updated as well.
Yep. Wasn't working yesterday but it is now!
