SkyFire Beta Finally Out!!!

Hey Guys,
I has been a long damn wait, but I finally got the long awaited Skyfire first release. I will share the cab here. However, I do believe that you need an account to use it (kinda like M$ did with their new browser)
However, there are a few things about this new Browser:
1. Since this is the first release, it is relatively slow (not in the loading of the page, but in the scrolling, zooming, and anything using flash (youtube, flash games, etc).
2. I am not sure if it has anything to do with the browser itself, but I installed it, I run the browser for a few minutes with a wifi connection, and the next thing I know, my Blue Angel is about to shut down due to having almost no battery (8% left). Did I mention that I had roughly 75% battery 15 minutes earlier? On an extended Battery?!?!?! (~2400 mAh)
I knew that flash apps have the tendency to run your battery dry but... damn!
Like I said, I posted it because I just felt that it was the right thing to do, to share this with my fellow xda-users
Other than that, this looks rather promising. I will update as I receive any new updates from these people.

Sorry, this is no help for the majority of the users. Will give an error message about System authorization. Thank you for the effort. I personally hope to get my code soon

thanks will try it out

same here with the system authorization..
but i a least saw that it does not take the persumed "20 seconds" to boot the browser up. took me about 2sec. on my tilt

Actually, it did take about 20 sec to boot on my BA. I guess that I oversaw that little detail

I figured that much, but I just thought I would give it a try. Heck someone could probably hack that code. We have good, skilled programmers here ...
Just Kidding!!

Since this doesnt work on all devices (except the choosen beta testers), please change the title

have downloaded the cab, just freezes when trys to connect to the web. hope that either someone cracks the security or they hurry up and release in the uk

system authorization error... please reinstall... can anyone help... eager to use this app...

You know....you could just always sign up on their website and have the program link sent to you!!! Thats what I did and it works!!1

Don't work on my Touch...
An error comes out and the program says: "unistall skyfire and then reinstall it".....

Wasn't deepfish too? There was a crack eventually. Browser was **** though

No BetaTester? Don't use it!
Just found this....
I've taken a look at SkyFire & it doesn't look good. It's not possible to force authorization as it depends on a secret PGP keypair shared between the activation server & the device. A meet in the middle attack would be our next best bet but this is not guaranteed as they're using SSL to encrypt the packets flowing between.
Even if the app were cracked to force successful authorization on the client side it would just freeze & wait for a non-existent response from the authorization server. A crucial part of the activation would be that it compares the IP of the client to determine their geographical location & any place outside the US results in an "Invalid authorization" response.
Another possibility is to access the server through a tunnelling exploit but this highly depends on the configuration of the server itself. I doubt that they'd leave this channel open.
Also something interesting to ponder:
Code:
.rdata:0007BA0C aReset DCB "Reset",0 ; DATA XREF: .text ff_28DE0o
.rdata:0007BA12 ALIGN 8
.rdata:0007BA18 aScheduledAHard unicode 0, <Scheduled a hard reset for tstamp=%d>,0
.rdata:0007BA18 ; DATA XREF: .text ff_292BCo
This is a debug message that would not be displayed to the end-user so there exists a condition where it secretly schedules a hard-reset of the client's device. Nice going, SkyFire

Skype for HTC HD2

I been doing a deep search on Google and haven't found nothing about skype for windows mobile 6.5.
Wish leave me to the conclusion that only Fring and Nimbuzz be our only alternative and in my cases been in China i only have Nimbuzz winch does well on wifi but very bad on 3g, since fring has be blocked recently.
I would appreciate of other alternatives or if by any miracle in how to run skype mobile 3 on Leo thanks

Just install Skype mobile? it works fine for me on my HD2.

To make things easier, here's the link:
http://www.skype.com/intl/en-gb/mobile/?cm_mmc=PAIDS|GAWS-_-EMEAF|GB|EN-_-BD|SOFTW-_-zf8xa4

skype mobile for htc hd2
Oh that is good news, for what i read i thought there was no skype mobile application running on windows mobile 6.5 !
Be nice if you tel me which version of skype mobile you are talking about
By the-way I will love to hear your comments about Skype on Leo, I am tented in buying one and I do a lot of use of skype for my work.
Thanks

The latest version of Skype from their website is working well.
However, the internal speaker is not working for me.

the xperia has a special version of skype, wich uses the internal speaker, however, installing it on any other device is not a problem, only when running it, it says that it's not compatible with this device..... so only for xperia.

Jep, Skype is working.
Bad sadly, as usual on Windows Phones, only with Loudspeaker not with Earpiece.

run attachment and all sounds will be in ear speaker. Solution for me to talk via Skype.

It's brill on the HD2. Miles better than what I remember on the iPhone. You can actually keep it running in the background
and it works with the bluetooth headset.

What does this file do? and why is it in an exe not a cab?

chimpsinties said:

You run it... the leave it open and open Skype. All audio is then routed through the earpiece. You speak like you would on a normal phone.
Running skype alone without this would mean needing to use BT headphones or the headset or sound comes from the loudspeaker... THis app is extremely useful if you use Skype!!

i have the same problem on HD2, this sounds like a solution, i will try it. thanks for the file. otherwise i might just use the headset came with it.
chimpsinties,
Is this your GPRS Monitor capable of showing GSM RF related parameters like Field Test? Where did you download it? Is it capable of Monitoring UMTS too?
and a few more things with Skype:
#1
I have S2S lock and I like it as many times I forget to lock my phone, but it kicks during a Skype call and kills audio... dont want to disable S2S, nor want to put my phone on charger.
There is a option in Skype's Menu/Setting, namely "Prevent device stand-by mode when online". Changing this parameter does not seem to make any difference...
#2
How can I get Skype to remember my password? However I dont want Skype to start up automatically
#3
auto change between landscape and portrait modes based on G-sensor is possible somehow?
thanks!

The GPRS traffic monitor has the following options that are not configurable. You can select between what's there but you can't add more yourself. I guess it auto detects what's available cos when I had the TMobile shim in it knew to look for that connection instead. This is just a trial version but does what I need it so I've not looked into what the pro version gets you.

You just select the connections you want to monitor and what your limit is, when your billing date is.

HTC sync 3.0

Did anybody tried the new htc sync 3.0 with htc hero on android 2.1? They say on htc official site that it's working on htc devices with android 2.1 but on web it's said that this update is just for htc wildfire. I cannot download it for a trial for the moment.

I think I got the answer and I will wait. By the way, HTC sync really sucks!

That looks so much better than the old sync. Did you delete Sync 2 before installing? Did you have any problems or was it nice and easy? Are you on a stock ROM?
Duh ..... just looked at your sig - please ignore last question

I wasn't using any sync before hand but it's always wise to uninstall anything you have application wise before installing the new versions.

Not true - if the application is written correctly it shouldn't matter whether you have an old version installed. It is incredibly rare than a new version of software will break older ones unless they explicitly state that it will (i.e. there has been a major code/structure change).

It is not a Microsoft update, so it won't break older code.

It's not true. Well on forums I see people doing 'upgrades' to applications and I see people face problems all the time doing it this method.
Theres plenty apps there has been issues with including java/vmware/flash beta ...... et al.

When you consider how many of millions of people update their software like this and out of that you might get a few thousand with problems you're still talking a very minor amount. There is no need to uninstall every app you want to update. This would take ages. I don't care if you want to do it for every app you update but don't recommend this to others as its just going to put people updating software when they should be.
And i've never had a problem updating java, vmware or flash (even using the beta versions) from older versions to newer ones. Java used to leave behind the old ones but it never negatively affected a system (aside from filling up the hard drive). VMWare is worthless anyway (get VirtualBox - support the open source community). Flash is made by Adobe - of course its going to have issues - they make software for Mac's then break the software and release it for PC. Having said this I very rarely have an issue with software updates unless it is explicitly stated on their website that it requires you to uninstall before updating.

hi
I just installed the ver 3 but my hero is not connecting to my pc

Dont hurry!
Hey guys,
The HTC Sync DOES and DO work with HTC Hero.
I did uninstall the previous version and drivers and installed the new one. Yes it does tell you that its not recognized and the HTC Sync is not found on your computer when the phone trying to search for it. But I left it connected to go and search on Google to find out why, Guess what .. It run by itself telling me that I have Hero phone and what I should call it!!
Now I am syncing my stuff and its just working fine, just leave it for 2-3 minutes and it show up by itself

Long GPS lock time [Solution?]

Hi all xda folks
I am starting this thread because I thing there is no proper solution to long gps fix time problem. I want to share my observation with a hope of helping solve this little prob. In most other ways our android port is solid and in my opinion comparable with most native android devices.
Now to avoid people saying that I just didn't search the forum I'm aware of partial solutions like :
1) Using Gps status app to download A-Gps data
2) Using WM QuickGps to download gps data using WM
3) Switching to proper gps region using gps.conf
...
Now I would like to sugest (from my point of view of humble user;-) )possible solutions for the devs but don't get me wrong I don't mean it to offense anyone.
I'm not a dev just trying to help.
1) Write something what does exactly that thing what QuickGPS does just to do it from Android environment
//Cause right after QuickGPS download fix times are minimal
//This would be enough fix for me ;-)
2) Find out what is wrong with current gps drver or any a-gps or any things helping to get faster fixes
To the second point a have an observation I wanted to share. When using GPS Test app to get fix on HD2 you don't see the signal strength bars before you get fixed. But as I saw on Desire the bars show up immediately and just change color when you get to the fix. But its just a hint. I don't know if it does mean anything.
Desire screen !!!

in my experience its build specific.
every desire build I've used (currently m-deejay's revolution) has the gps issue.
Cyanogen Builds do not (currently using michyprima's Everyday Builds).

pretty much

Cyanogen builds can have the issue too, I've had major problems on shubcraft and very slow locking on hyperdroid.
The main problem is that Android can't write data to the gps chip yet, which is necessary to be able to use the 'a' from aGPS. (That's exactly what QuickGPS does, and because it's written to the gps chip, Android can access it but not update it.)
So unless someone manages to give Android write access, I don't think there's a whole lot we can do, except for the known gps.conf and libgps tricks.

And that would easily explain why it works in WinMo...but does not clearly explain why some users have quick lock in Android (I am not one..mine takes 3-5 minutes sometimes).

I'm not too sure either, but I think it may be because of QuickGPS too. I noticed there's an option to enable gps data download whenever activesync is enabled. Most people boot bank into WinMo for installing a new build, kernel or whatever, and would that way actually run QuickGPS at least once every week. But I'm by no means an expert, this is just what seems to me a plausible explanation.

I thought quickgps "just" go to internet, and download the satellites positions into a text file? If you don't do that on wm the first gps lock is slow, the second on a same period is quick because the phone now knows where they are. Too bad android can't so that for now, maybe with gingerbread...

So please can someone of you who say that its build specific post the build and kernel with which it is working you get fix in less then lets say 15 secs?
Thanx

First part is true, problem is that WinMo can store these files on the gps chip, Android can't. Android can only read data from this chip, hence QuickGPS being a valid fix.
Android can of course do this, we just can't on our HD2, so gingerbread ain't gonna fix any of that.

I believe I've had it fixed in shubcraft 2.0, JDMS 1.6 did a pretty good job too. Might've been total coincidence though, I'm still not sure if any of this is build related.

Today I asked on #htc-linux and it seem that devs don't see the problem I spoke with markinus and he told me that he has fix in about 4 sec. So maybe it is not kernel problem.

I still have huge problems with GPS. Doesn't matter what ROM or radio I use it doesn't lock, or lock after 1-5 min. Outside or inside doesn't change anything. It's not a problem with week signal, my friend with HTC wildfire get it within seconds sitting next to me. I use kwbr rom with 2.15 radio.

I find this pretty strange.
With quickgps you have to download the data, you really see a progress when downloading, and the file goes to the windows directoy. xtra.bin is the filename.
If you remove that file and reboot the phone you have to wait a long time to get a gps fix again.
In Android you have no clue if it downloads it, and where does it go? Try to do a search on that file. I got 0 results so I actually wonder where it is and even if it works?

Wierd since I have no issues. Will test again now and see if I can get more info for you.

Only Webtop and Entertainment Center is working. I am working on getting my HDMI Mirroring going at the moment. Sorry, Music is working also for me.

Here is a shot I just took from my flatscreen in the living room. Ignore picture quality. I used the Atrix camera, (hence the infinite displays from the phone display), and this wasn't the best scenario for a good picture:

Will this work on a laptip? thats the only thing i got with a hdmi plug in, and nothing pops up on the phone or laptop when pluged in. maybe ill reflash.

nope, gonna try it now an see what happens. ill post if it works.

Not many laptops that I know of support using the built in panel as a display for device input. The HDMI port on your laptop is used to send an image out, not receive.
