I am soon to get a XDA Exec, and I was wondering what the best VGA web browser for the Universal is. I dont want to have to make my whole system VGA, so it would be better if the browser had VGA options as default. Is there any way to use PIE in VGA without changing the whole system? Which is best out of minimo, opera and netfront?
Thanks
The best one out of these three is FtxPbrowser . (with the mui hack)
You may want to consider....
You may also want to look at Opera. The version for WM5 is still in beta though, but you can download and try it out. I'm guessing that the final browser will be released within the next month or so. The beta is free to try, but you'll have to pay for the final version. Great browser though.

Go with Opera. I've tried the three you mentioned, and while they're all quite ok, I found minimo to be painfully slow, and NetFront to often have problems displaying pages correctly. Opera installed and worked flawlessly right from the start.
yes Opera is best around at the moment:
http://www.opera.com/products/mobile/products/winmobileppc/index.dml
I had problems with font size using opera... some fonts are very big at some www places.. using netfront it seems ok. opera may be more compatible with JavaScripts, etc.. but I found Netfront more optimized to the mobile environment: virtual canvas size, fast rendering mode, etc.. it loads faster..
Thanks alot for the help. Does Opera need a VGA patch to run in VGA, or does it do it by default?
Thanks
Default.
On the OPERA site, it states the beta is going to end June 1st 2006. Does that mean after that date, the application will stop working unless we buy it from them?

yes, you are right. After that, they may release full retail version or they may release beta 2

Erm...beta 2 has been out for about two months now, and they've removed the limited duration thing.
I am testing out the PIEPlus V2.0 Beta1 on my Universal. Not bad with performance. It allows 2 views (normal vs column) and tab browsing, pretty convienent. No font issue like Opera. Worth a try...
I'am using a final version of NetFront 3.3 browser and i'm think for VGA device is the best of all browser. Final version 3.3 support VGA displays, WM5.0, Flash, Java, tables and other web elements (and its very fast)...

could you post a link to this version, all i can find is the trial version
I today downloaded their latest trial version. Maybe I am doing something wrong but it still does not support flash and java and has the usual limitations of the previous trial versions. Though the final commercial version will support all this.
There is also a news item on their site that the commercial version will be available by end of this month for US $ 29.80

Rapax:
I have just looked on the Opera site and it is still saying it expires June 1st, where did you see the version that doesn't expire?
jerrry:
Where di dyou get the final version of Netfront 3.3 as the version on its website is just a technical preview?
I think we have not answered the original question yet (as posted in the very beginning of this subject).
Which web browser that will work in high resolution (VGA) even though the WM5 is running in normal QVGA mode?
Does either NetFront or Opera actually display the browser in VGA mode even the WM5 running in QVGA mode or it only works in VGA mode if the WM5 running in VGA mode.
I myself personally prefer to run my Uni in normal QVGA mode, but for certain application, I would love VGA. PocketXPDF for example, is excelent! Its actually display the PDF file in high VGA resolution even though the WM5 is running QVGA. Other excellent examples are: Logmein.com that can display full 640 x 480 remote desktop smoothly though the WM5 is running QVGA, and lastly, Google Map, also does the same thing.
So, back to the original question, which web browser that can do that?

Can someone come up with a fix to use skyfire on Xperia??
The problem is the skyfire only works with QVGA resolutions (so 2003), is there somethign like WVGA fix that tricks the screen into QVGA? I know this is totally against the reason for the Xperia, but I need a website (flash) that plays sound, so I don't care about graphics.
Please , Please!!!!
Well, there is a version out that supports xperia 1, but you probably know already. I love, love, love it!
So long,
Kon
Have you got a link for it?
Type this link on your X1 and you should get the latest version:
http://get.skyfire.com/
See here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=482370
Is it possible to get it to display the pages in the full WVGA resolution and not just QWVGA?
Yes it is. Download the newest version. On the official website they offer version for WM 5+6 Touchscreen. If you install it on X1 it shows full screen!
Supported resolutions (pixels)
240x240 320x320 320x240 (QVGA) 400x240 (WQVGA)
640x480 (VGA) 800x480 (WVGA)
Got the latest version .. and it does not run in full resolution.
I´ve installed it 3 days ago and it worked in wvga.
Be carefull - it doesnt work with wifi, it connects to gprs/3g even if you got a wifi connection.

Nonsense, I am using it with wifi right now (of course someone should check to either disable the 3g/gprs account or wifi to have a higher priority). Only problem is the low resolution of pictures their server is sending (their servers sends to you pictures the rendering never happens on the phone). Especially text is very garbled.
I downloaded the newest version and its pretty crap. It seems like they took the wqvga and just make 1 pixel take up 4 spaces to make wvga.
Skyfire is the best in video streaming around all xperia browser
I wonder .. if they send full screen pictures of the pages .. full WVGA should increase the traffic 4 times (a bit less because of compression I guess). That could be the showstopper for high-res devices.
Have someone seen some comparison with Opera mini, concerning transferred data amount ?

word. But I like the browser anyway - there is hardly competition... : S
not tried this software before but very interested in it... Can you use it for such sites as bbc iplayer and youtube?
Youtube - Yes. The other site you mentioned I don't know.
But this browser almost does everything! And really fast!
Just download it, it's freeware!

If you are on a SkyFire UK Datacenter then you can access the BBC iPlayer, but to get on the UK Datacenter you will need to be in the UK.
skyfire
actually, i was messing around with iris browser when it prompted me to update so i did, this browser is actually better than skyfire..try it, it plays utube vids in the browser like skyfire and tho no speedy gonzalez its quite good.
the text is blocky, and the sound on videos doesn't work.
can someone share what is good about skyfire.. i am getting an impression that it is what firefox is to the pc
Skyfire is my backup browser to Opera. When Opera doesn't work on those flash websites, Skyfire usually could handle it. The biggest problem is that Skyfire drains your battery like crazy...especially for those websites with flash. Anyway, I am still keeping it in my xperia just in case.
why is it that on opera when i clik on something, it takes about 5 seconds for it to show ive clickd on it?
it leads to me double tapping the screen which is irritating because it zooms out...
anyway to fix this?
also when other people are using my diamond opera browser, and they clik on something, and because it doesnt start loading the page immediately but after 5 sconds, they seem to think the phone is rubbish...
i understand what you mean but i noticed what causes this.. This happens when you click on a link but the current screen hasnt finished loading yet...
try it..click on X to stop the loading and then click on a link..it should load immediately
Yay, another ipony-related thread!
Opera mobile is awful - it can't do flash properly, can't manage text input properly, crashes on big pages, has terrible SIP-related problems, can't select items without zooming, has auto-rotation troubles and is generally a pain in the ass.
It's also the nearest thing we have to a proper desktop-like browser. Luckily it's also possible to paste text into the browser, unlike on the ipony.

you should give skyfire a shot. it blows the iphone browser away in my opinion. you can't play flash, youtube, etc. within the browser on the iphone like you can using skyfire.
Opera...
I happen to rather like Opera... sure, some of the issues mentioned above are a pain, but it's still the best browser for Windows Mobile (in my opinion, anyway). Why people keep ranting on about the iThingy in this forum I'll never know. Buy one if you like it better than the Diamond and leave us WM lovers alone

I don't know about blowing things out of the water but Skyfire is a smaller APP that does the Job with simplicity at heart. It allows you to login in as it creates a profile so that if you switch devices or flash new Roms, you don't have to start all over regarding favorites. All you do is just login when it starts up. I'm sure Opera lovers have a way of saving favorites but I just find it a bit clunky.
Just my thoughts. Those who haven't tried it shouldn't even discuss how Opera is better.
Skyfire is better
well skyfire is reay fast and flash is no proble at all but in skyfire i get muggy picture i cant see clear letters?

Skyfire could be nice however stated on thier own website:
- Skyfire will not run on Windows Mobile PDAs. Skyfire runs on phones only.
- Skyfire will not run on WVGA Windows Mobile phones.
so I wonder how someone can test it on a TD.

Valid points going both ways. Just wanted to add that some of the slowness in Opera Mobile is also due to crappy MSM chipset.
Opera Mobile is literally 4x faster and more responsive on a Samsung Omnia.

Of course it is 4x faster on Omnia.
That is because Omnia screen resolution is almost 4x smaller than Diamond:
Diamond=VGA (480x640)
Omnia=QVGA (240x400)
Ever tried to compare to fit to screen the same page on both phones? On the Omnia you only can see a chunk of blurred strokes. On diamond you can see they are letters
Seriously, Diamond needs to process almost 4x graphics than Omnia.
The Iris Browser is coming along nicely too

Phail. Wrong. Did you even read it? It said about Skyfire. I dont see ANYTHING about it saying that a TD is wvga, only about Skyfire's limitations. So you phail even though you are correct in saying that it does run on phones with vga resolution. "Skyfire DOES NOT run on PDA's. Only PHONES that are PDA's." That statement is there because Skyfire used phone numbers to activate it during beta, no you really have no need for that and they should remove that. I don't know if it will work on PDA's. You can test it and report back.

Wow. Phail. :| You guys need to read more please. First off, the Omnia's resolution is NOT qvga, it is WQVGA. Second off, QVGA resolution is 240x320 so you phail at saying that qvga = 240x400 when it's really 240x320. And lastly, The opera browser is resolution specific. The Diamond has a vga resolution opera browser, while a kaiser has a qvga resolution opera browser and the omnia has a WQVGA resolution specific opera browser. It has nothing to do with the screen resolution, but it has EVERYTHING to do with the processor as ChainFire stated. Please pay attention.
P.S There is no almost 4x smaller. QVGA is EXACTLY 4x smaller than VGA.
Chill pill: Everyone should take one.

I jut recieved an invitaion for bolt beta, i'll try it this evening.
Hello,
just today I tried Skyfire browser for the first time.
Especially interested in flash support...
I didn't see any topics lately regarding this app so I created a new thread.
OK, so it supports flash...
But my question is - does it look so bad-quality on your X1's?
Like a bad graphics/quite pixaleted?
'Cos it doesn't match the OperaMini neither OperaMobile 9.5 graphic quality...
Please let me know!
Yes, rendering in this browser is a flaw. But nice browser anyway. Now I'm waiting for Opera 9.7. That one will kick Skyfire but until then it is the best browser. (Cannot use Mach5...)

Thanks! Actually this rendering is just disgusting.
Also, it doesn't seem having the picture download ability?
I could download all the pictures I wanted. I just went to google and used google images and downloaded them there. It downloads all the stuff in your "my files" folder. I like that function.
Maybe you want to try Mach5. Currently this is a free beta with some more media abilities. I cannot use this mach5, don't ask me why.

Currently OperaMini scales them when saving what is SH..T when you use an advenced device.
Anyway too many browsers. Seems I'll stick with Opera,
looks like they're still the best. The quality of it just kills probably any other solutions.
Skyfire is fast but looks very bad on X1. I suppose Mach5 is not thaaaat better.
All of the concern here is caused just by one thing - using my FlashLite 3.1 plugin is very buggy on my stock Opera 9.5, it's the thing which crashes.
The rest of this browser is just outstanding.

In my oppinion Skyfire is the worst of all browsers. The rendering quality is optimized for ugly low end devices and the advantage of the X1 with its WVGA screen to be able to read pages without zooming in is totally lost.
Opera disappoints me as well. Rendering quality is perfect, but I often can't click links without zooming in first or i have to click a million times till it works. The Soft-Keyboard pops up all the time what makes no sense at all in landscape mode with a hardware keyboard.
At the moment I'm using Netfront. No problem clicking Links, same rendering quality as Opera, no soft-keyboard popping up and it starts 5x faster than Opera.

Lol, I thought they only make it for feature phones.
But apparently no Flash support?
Opera Mini rules!!!!
Just wanted to give folks a heads up that new skyfire was released and it finally supports higher resolution. Before I would hedge between skyfire and Opera/IE due to the resolution issues but preferring the speed and support for Flash, etc...now this will eliminate a decision as I believe I'll be using skyfire 100% of the time.
More finger friendly menus were added to. Surprises me after all these yrs MS has not been able to make many improvements to IE Mobile.
On a side note it sounds like Mobile Mozilla browser for WM should be available early 2010. Its initially targeted at Nokia phone with snapdragon processor but will than move to other platforms
Just thought some might be interested in the update for skyfire.
been using it all morning. Very much improved. Especially like the fact it supports higher res phones now.
Sorry for double post
One thing I noticed is it seems to use a lot more RAM...not thrilled about that. Maybe they can address this in a quick update. Anyone else experiencing significant ram usage by the new skyfire?

Thanks for the head's up. I've been hoping for this update for a while now.
It does look good. I'll probably still use Opera for most things though, and this for video.
Yeah thanks for the update, made it my default and overall I love it. Only thing that Opera 10 does better is the rendering, you know the checkerboard pattern that comes up when you scroll around. Opera renders it faster than Skyfire but with that improved I would have no issues with it.
Oh yeah that and no option for default full screen mode. You can switch to it but once you use the menu you have to select fullscreen again
I tried it but the opera that came with the TP2 is better.. The new version STILL doesnt rotate right UNLESS you open the keyboard and it still doesnt use the zoom bar

Opera 10 couldn't uisefully use the zoom bar anyway. Version 9.5 allows variable degrees of zoom, but version 10 only has two levels - zoomed in, and zoomed out. There's nothing in between. So enabling the zoom bar wouldn't actually help.
If you're having problems with the rotation then just use G-Config.

Once installed whether to storage or main, just do a soft rsest and it should auto rotate.
I am still messing around with it. I dont know if I should go ahead and make my default yet. The rendering speed is slower than the stocked Opera but I much favor the built in flash for web videos.
yummy
Loved skyfire from day 1, loving it more now that it supports better resolution. Rendering not as good as Opera, but that's expected for now, built-in flash works great still, but that's the advantage of cloud rendering. Typing works much smoother, wait time between skyfire sending data to server then back to your phone is much better. As far as mem usage goes, I think what they did with 1.5 is move some of the operations to your phone. Before with skyfire it was exclusively being processed on their servers. I think now things like putting in username and passwords are handled by the phone and sent in one swoop vs having to wait after you put in username, then wait after password and such. Also I've noticed that you can easily move from one field to the next. You used to have to re-tap each blank field, now it automatically moves the cursor and you can start filling it in immediately. Definitely a better browser. Maybe number one if they add tabs. I haven't made it default because of that. Unfortunately I'm out of the US so further testing isn't possible at the moment, but once I'm back I'll look at it more. So far the big face of is Opera tabs vs Skyfire built in flash.
Much, much more faster than Opera or IE. Of course the pages don't look as good but they're still good.
This new release inspired me to install Skyfire again -- I hadn't been including it in my "UC" configuration, so hadn't used it in a while as I flash new custom roms.
For me, the great advantage of Skyfire is how well it handles embedded video (and similar content) that other browsers don't handle well or at all. I stream live .wmv video from my backyard-birdfeeder-cam, and even PIE doesn't support this MS-format video -- but Skyfire does.

What ROM and Manila version do you have?
I have the official 6.5 upgrade for US T-Mobile (Timor version) and it opens Skyfire automatically from the internet tab after using Skyfire's setting to make it default.
There is a Manila file you can edit that will change all the internet tab settings for the T-Mobile stock Manila version I know, because that was how I edited it then.
So I guess it depends on what you're running.

I was having a play with Skyfire 1.5 yestersday. I found it played the video component of Flash videos correctly, but that there's no sound! Has anyone else encountered and fixed this? I'm running the standard HTC version of the WM6.5 ROM.

It might also help to know which site's flash videos gave you the issue. Not all implementations are created equal.
I notice, on a sort of related note, that on thewb.com, sometimes the video and audio get out of sync. I'm not sure if this is a general skyfire thing or not, but I've always found thewb's flash player to be a little quirky, so I plan to test some other sites this weekend.

Skyfire has a server side and a client side--the browser itself doesn't actually support flash, the server grabs the content, converts it to something skyfire client friendly, and then transmits it to you. Google might be detecting where your skyfire server is instead of where you are.
