IE 6?

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

Issue using Opera Mobile on www.studivz.net

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.

Does it need flash or anything? I can't see anything using the dev tools
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

So...anything new in .16 ?
Is it worth installing...
The final should be ready pretty soon.

Works on QVGA. With the .14 version, I had trouble getting the app to run after running it once. (A soft reset was needed.) It runs perfectly for me now.

Same here but on WVGA (Touch HD). The only thing i don't know if it's ok or not is that the info that i see in my "home - news feed" or "wall profile" on my mobile phone it's only some of the entry's i can see on www.facebook.com home-news feed ...or even different ones....when using m.facebook.com it's like a "middle" situation as i can see more entry's than on my phone but not all that appears on the full site....it's kind of an inconsistent experience but i think that's another topic...
And in my case messages still don't work in this version.
Autosave user and password still don't work.

.16
.16 on WM6.1 over Samsung Omnia Hardware:
autosave pass works, but all drop down menus don't display. I can't also EXIT the program (probably cos EXIT is inside the MENU dropdown) and have to terminate the process to end it.

Seems to work perfect on CDMA QVGA HTC touch runing stock WM 6.0.. no issues I can see yet.. vary fast and nice interface.. but ill end up still just using tha browser mostly

so it's not worth updating yet?? my only question is: if now leaked only v 0.16, how far is the final / offical one?? should have been released in april..but we all know how MS and developers sometimes do I'm a bit disappointed, from 0.16 to 1.0 it's a long long way to go.. and the first release look promising but still far from complete or perfect.. how long are we supposed to wait???? °_°

New italian version is READY!
Facebook 0.16 all resolution working​

x2!!!
Stupid status update comments still no available/working!!!

not working
I have installed the 0.16 ita but the application is closed after 4", has omnia wm 6.1.
I premise that I had installed the version Facebook_WM6.5_Ita of salvy.c.83 is worked perfectly.

apps seems to work on my sprint moto q9c, but the fonts are messed up. seems to be displaying wing dings or something similar. any ideas?

nrice, you need to reboot your phone.
and the program works and installs fine on my Motorola Q9C ... but it still seems to "cache" or "load" forever on the homescreen... I guess I just need to let it do its thing?
I really want this program to work.

thanks Adam. can read the fonts fine now; but you're right it does seem slow--hoping that it's caching or something.

Yeah it seems to load for a long time on the the Inbox screen as well. It's got the little spinning windows logo and it's just cranking along. I'm not even sure if it's doing anything, my status indicator says that EVDO is being used, so I can only assume it's slowly caching.

I am liking this update and from my experience of using it, I think that a few things have improved greatly.
When I used 0.14 it was slow on loading the tabs (home, profile, friends etc), it did not download any messages at all when I clicked the mail tab, it just kept on showing the loading icon, I left it for about half an hour once and it never loaded any messages. When I clicked the phonebook tab it loaded up the list of my friends with phone numbers but when I scrolled down the list it would judder or go back to the top of the list.
In 0.16 the tabs load up much quicker, they seem more responsive and smooth, it has downloaded just a small fraction of my mail, it has grabbed 25 messages but I have over 1000 in my inbox! But then again there could be a limit onto how many it downloads? I'm not sure. Nevertheless this is an improvement, the phonebook tab also now works and scrolls fine. The things that are still bad and need work is the time it takes to refresh things like news feed, status updates etc and the time it takes to load up photos and albums.
Overall I think it's a good improvement over the last version, as said above the only gripes I have with it are the loading times but I'm sure this will get ironed out in future versions. I don't think I will be using the app all the time just yet as I tend to use Facebook through Opera but I will be using it a bit more than 0.14 I think.
My phone is the Touch HD and thanks to the original poster for the upload!

@ nico1969
I don't know where is the problem, in my touch dual it works fine, I've only edit the lang file (mui) into the cab, probabily in your samsung, zibilce dll doesn't work, use my previous version, at this moment i've not noticed substantial differences

Skyfire 1.0 Released

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...

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

SlingPlayer on HD2?

Does anyone have a clue how SlingPlayer will be operated on the HD2? especially the tiny Controller interface, I wonder how it will be interfaced via a capacitive screen? (I know that Sling has a player for the iPhone, which I had never seen, does it utilize a more finger freindly interface?)
Thanks

Anyone has an idea on that matter?

Tiny but it works, it's the same size as on my Diamond 2.....but Full Screen mode rulezzzzzzz

Thanks

When I had the Toshiba TG01 slingplayer's video quality was far better than on any other winmo device I tried and the iPhone.
If you have a good internet connection you will get 30fps no problem all the time.
I believe the HD2 will be the same.

The controls are small but usable, bearly.
I have been trying to drum up support on the uservoice forum for sling to get better controls for windows mobile. I have posted request for support before but as I suspect the total amount of users that use a slingbox is quite low so its slow going.
I have recently done the same thing for the layar app and support for that is amazing.
So I'll try again and see if we can get some updates from sling.

I'm using version 1.6.0.114. Is this what everyone else is using? The max resolution for this is 320x240.
What settings does everyone have configured?

New version released, Much better but fewer quality settings to customize. There is a thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=623914&highlight=Slingplayer

Hey Man, are you using version 1.6? How did you get fullscreen, mine shows black bars in the sides, no matter if i use letterbox or normal display .
By the way, I have a Slingbox classic...

Hi. It seems pretty quiet in this thread so I'm guessing slingbox/-player isn't that widely used. By HD2-owners at least. Still I'm hoping someone has some input for downloading the slingplayer on HD2.
I've noticed that HD2 isn't listed as supported at all on http://www.slingmedia.com/go/slingplayer-mobile but judging by this thread people are obviously using it.
When I go to mobile.slingmedia.com as instructed I only get the choice between Motorola and Sony Ericsson when choosing my country. The nearest I think I come to the HD2 is the Touch Pro II version by selecting US as country. I have downloaded this cab, but I haven't installed it yet.
Now I guess it won't hurt to install this .cab, but does anyone know if this works and if so is the best choice?
And it seems this is the 2.0 version which seems to only be supported for the US. If so, is it still possible to download the previous version? I can't really see them mentioning the different versions at all on slingmedia.com...
Sorry if this got a bit long, but I've just purchased a sling box solo and making it work on HD2 is kind of a key element

I don't download a device specific version, Some how you can get it to just say Windows Mobile 5/6 and Touch then it will give you the right version.

I do see the choice of windows mobile 6 on my computer, but I can only go as far as http://support.slingbox.com/go/dl-spm-winphone-spm2 and then it says that "Desktop downloads are not available for SlingPlayer Mobile for Windows Phones". When i switch to HD2 and go to http://mobile.slingmedia.com I come to the previous mentioned country and phone choosing predicament.
Do you have a download link for me? And do you download the program on your computer first or directly on the HD2? I'm feeling kind of silly thinking this really shouldn't be this hard...

I have just been through the download web page on my phone and all you need to do is select "Other Windows Mobile" Then it will give you the option of Touch Screen WM6 or WM5 or Non Touch Screen etc.
Just Pick WM6 Touch Screen and thats the version you need. Hope this helps.

Thanks so much for your efforts but I'm still not there.
In Opera on HD2 I don't se the choice of "other windows mobile" only "Windows phone" (I'm here: http://support.slingbox.com/go/downloads-spm). When I choose windows phone I do get the three choices you mention. When choosing WM6 Touch I come to http://support.slingbox.com/go/dl-spm-winphone-spm2 just as I would on my laptop. There I find no download link just that it tells me to go to http://mobile.slingmedia.com on my mobile.
Is this what you are doing? I really would appreciate a link to the page you start from and/or perhaps a link to a page with an actual download button...

Hmmmm
This is the link that I have in my bookmarks from when I first updated to Version 2. It definatly comes up with option "other windows mobile" in my Opera
http://mobile.slingmedia.com/go/phoneSelector

Thanks. It may be that you can skip the country choice page, but I believe I've been her before when I chose the US.
As I mentioned in my first post I downloaded the Touch Pro II version. The thing I was wondering most about was if this is correct for the HD2? And if it works even if you're not in the US? I can't really figure out why that should matter in the first place...
By the way, how is the sling player on HD2 working out for you? I saw there was some comments on a decrease in quality in v2.0? Weird, but still I might accept that for some better controls...

Didn't work with my Opera Mini
I had to use Explorer to see the options.
I also loaded it on my old Tilt to see if there was a difference in video quality from 1.6, as stated on the other thread in Themes and Apps, or if it was an HD2 issue. There was a noticeable negative difference, but good streaming. Went back to 1.6 and had same good streaming with better quality video. Try both and make your choice. Signal strength on both ends makes a difference. Poor quality images are better than no images at all.
