I have installed and it's rather nice, data usage more than mini bout 2.5x on large pages, it's quick on page load, it's got a neat cube effect for history, got tabed browsing trying to get used to as it has no open in new tab, can't work out how to get to home page without closing or setting as bookmark. Oh and a mouse pointer like mimi.

wow. that helped in no way to answer my question..let me rephrase:
you have used many browsers from what i can tell. how does IRIS stack up next to the others?

yeah, the home page thing is goofy. other than that i love it. i turned off that page overview though. it was annoying me. so far it's very fast. i might use this over opera.

you are a gentleman and a scholar.
i appreciate the quick run down. i guess ill give it a shot...
edit: hahah jeez..i make it sound like its manual labor to download and install....it must be monday...or im that damn lazy and unmotivated.

forgot to mention: i'm running the t-zones on t-mobile.

hmmm, other than having to get use to it and no obvious active zoom in and out buttons...i like it.

Also I'm gonna try and tweak the registry a bit...the scrollbars are WAY too thick.

can't find the registry settings...any help?

it looks like there is code available on the download page. that's not really my area though.

Yeah it was hardcore having to install that .cab, Just wanna congratulate you on your sticky that's slick.
After a bit of use i would say it's nice and free, but does not compare to Opera Mobile or Mini, i could see in the future it could with a little bit of tweaking, Home Page, Open in new tab.
Will keep it on phone and hope updates solve this.

i downloaded it but if i go on you tube press play video it states error the url does not use a recocognised protocol... i have a htc s 620

If your new, what you do is use this button called "Search" button. Every site I have registered for, and trust me - when i say every site, i mean a lot of them be it mobile, car etc. How is that I've always been able to find my way by using the "search" button but most new users will not do that. Give the search button a try and just see the results, almost everything has been gone over.
Welcome to the site and Enjoy your stay here.
To answer your question, it's because you need to install TCPMP (A Media Player with special flash codecs) or search for vTAP for you to play youtube videos. Good Luck!
P.S: Noone is trying to be rude or mean, it's just that some members get ticked off because everyday we have newbies coming in and asking the same questions. Go through the first few stickies and you'll find that almost all your questions have been answered.

i do have tcpmp installed but it still comes up with error i did search but it came up with irelevent answers like unrecognised usb etcs
i think ill give the iris a miss

Tethering Via WIFI & Videochat

Guys,
First of all I want to thank all of you for all of your hard work accomplishing TRUE TETHERING on the G1. It works flawlessly. THANKS!!! You guys are geniuses!!!
I have a question to ask with using tether-1.6.tar
Most of my programs I have that require internet access work all for one stinking video chat program I always use to chat with my family while I'm away on work assignment. It's a program called ISPQ. I can log into the program, and it pulls up the directories with all of the users signed in, and I can send quick messages, but when someone sends me a message the picture field is blank and in the directory when you click on a persons name to see their profile the picture area is blank as well. On their website it shows what ports you need opened for the program to run successfully as I'll post them down below. When I used to Tether with my TMO DASH the program always worked so I'm sure there is a way to get it working using the G1 tethered as well.
Thanks again,
Anthony

as far as i know, i dont think their is a firewall on the phone it should already be opened. I have connected to my sling box which is some random port and it worked sucessfully.

Thanks for your response. Strange when I run the built in network utility in that program it DOES say it's detecting a firewall when there isn't. Probably a quick uninstall/re-install of the program should get it working properly. Everything else other then that single program works great. Streaming live video and audio works flawlessly as well. Amazing how this is true tethering and it blows the doors off of Tetherbot.
The people who got this all going are like god to me.

Yes! I also tether with this method, and it works flawlessly, I get 135KBpps down. And 85KBps up on edge, and on 3G I get around 900KBps down and 240ish up. It's funny though, after running a speedtest, it said my phone was located in kansas when I'm actually in cali, maybe its a ip address location error. But back to your situation, I haven't had any issues with ports on of the programs that required specific ports to function. =)

The location is correct, T-Mobile sends all their info through a proxy in kansas or some place back east, and that is why our speeds are sometimes slow.

Neoobs, Would that be the case in the Philadelphia area as well? I'm asking of this because if Tmo sends all of their info through proxy in this area as well, that's the reason why my videochat program isn't working properly (laptop/G1 Tethered).
Strange is that when I hook up my old Tmo Dash and tether it, ispq works fine but it's terribly slow running on Edge.

3G gets sent to a different proxy but both are sent through proxies.
I know there are some ways around it just not able to get the info right now as I am AFH

I searched and searched with no results. There has to be a way around this. If I can video chat with the Dash Tethered to my lappy, there for sure has to be a way on the G1.

Neoobs,
Any word or source of a way around the 3g proxy/videochat with my post?
Thanks again......

Since TMO's 3g/edge connection goes through a proxy at the main how could I find out what Proxy IP and Port it is? In the program there is an option to log in through proxy so I guess I would need to know what's the proxy address they use for 3G in my area. Anyway I could find out?

It isn't like a software proxy, it is a hardware proxy, there is no info you can put in to get around it really. I will test this and see.
I can't find the info on how to get around it but I know I did because I was running programs (torrents) that were saying I was fully connected and even had someone remote into my PC while I was on it (was a friend) so nothing should be blocking it. BTW I was using openDNS servers maybe that is what helped.

Open DNS Servers? Where would I add the values and what would they be? something like 4.2.2.1, 4.2.2.2?

I'm about to beg you to download ISPQ and set it up (via Wifi Tether) and see exactly what I'm talking about. lol It's actually a pretty cool program and it's a free 21 day trial.

I will download it and get back to you in 24 hours.

Thank you so much!!!!

It all works fine for me, lets me log in and see others. What is the problem exactly?

Thanks for trying it out. I can log in but I can't see the user profile pictures in the directory and also when I receive a qm from someone the picture area is blank. All I can see is the text they sent in the message, not the picture..

Can you run the network diagnostic test in the programs options? Doesn't work here.
Can you see the users in the directories profile pictures and if someone qmed you, you can see their image along with the text?
I can see the users listed in the directories but no pictures of the users and the qms, I can read the text in the qm, just can't see the users image. Funny part of it all is I can successfully video chat in there and I can see the users video while video chatting. Your help with this is very appreciated. You can private me your response if you may.
Thanks again..

DroidCumulus

If anyone has it and can post a link to the .apk, it would be greatly appreciated
its an app by leadapps...i get no response from them, and the QR in the market is broken...need this one as it is the only one that plays cumulus streams, and i need it for a station i listen to...had it and lost it when i wiped and re-flashed rom, was nowhere to be found on my sdcard backup, as it must not install to sd (weird)
package name should be com.leadapps.droidcumulus...
have searched and searched already, cannot find it anywhere, so here i am making a thread

yeah sorry bout the pm block, only accept from contacts since balazer was flaming me with rude pms, ill add you as a contact
you can "add" your own url by entering the url in the browser, and then droid cumulus will open as the player if its a url thats going to work
if it does, save it as a favorite, and there you go
try http://www.yourmuze.fm
really good for stations you cant play in any other player
it uses the browser, (yourmuze converts the streams to 3gp on the fly, and they play using your video player, so they wont play in the background, screen stays on but its black)
and it has the station (you have an extra unneeded _a in your url)
you can even copy the url once youve clicked on it to play if you hurry and long press the address bar in your browser, copy url...then add a bookmark to your broswer of that url...go to home screen, add bookmark, then make a shortcut on your homescreen...walah! instant bloomberg on your homescreen, one click between you and your fav station
yourmuze just makes you register, but i did it months ago, and never had any spam or problems from them
its free, too, which is always best

thanks for the reply. i just had someone test bloomberg radio with droidcumulus and they said it worked - but only when the hit the bloomberg link in the browser - not in the droidcumulus app.

Thank you for the app. I have been looking for it for over a week now.

i tried the same thing, and it didnt work for me either...
i'll try and see what else we can do...i have one i want to use too
doesnt work on my phone...
i finally remembered how i added an mms link
open browser>type the mms url in the address bar>when popup happens, choose droid cumulus> when it starts playing, add as favorite
i tried your link, and even tried it some different ways, but it didnt work
after doing a url snoop, it turns out the stream is actually an rtsp, and the ip its coming from is 58.68.168.117, but i cant find which port its coming from

Thanks, I m still keep trying......

Has anyone gotten the DroidCumulus App to wok on Android 2.1? I have a Droid Incredible and installed this app, but all it does is buffer. So disappointed!
All I'm looking to do is a way to stream The Ticket sport radio station out of Dallas. Anyone know of a way to do so?

XBMC official remote now available in the Market

Made available today after a year or so of development by the great team of developers at XBMC the official remote is now available for download. They did a GREAT job and the remote works flawlessly on my EVO. Just wanted to let everyone know or at least the XBMC users out there!
Official Post at the xbmc website as well as forums.

Thanks for the heads up! I've been using betas for a while and it's nice to have it auto-update now.

ya its pretty cool, if you get a text you can set it to show the txt msg on the tv screen...and it pauses when you get a call and shows caller id on the tv also...
it rocks man.
all via wifi or 3g/4g

looks badass, though I can't get it to connect to my XBMC, i'll try again later.

It's too laggy, even over LAN for me(also 'play/pause' doesn't work). I also lots of timeouts with 3g and wifi/lan connections

Really? Interesting. I had issues getting the remote to work too, if you goto the forums for xbmc in the faq is tells you how to get it working, I followed the steps come to find out I changed the event port on accident from 9777 oops, works flawlessly. Previous builds were a tad laggy but this build has been great.

Just head over to our forum and we'll help you.
If play/pause isn't working it is most likely the event server. Read our FAQ or setup guide for the most common errors

I looked on the site and didn't see a guide on how to get this to work with your tv, anyone know where it is?

Mine doesnt lag at all.

BBC iPlayer App

Just testing this on the Tab on WiFi.
The quality is superb. Works perfectly so far
Top Job BBC !!

Will have to try it here on the USA, i am running JME European rom. Lets see if i get denied access sin i am not in the UK.

Hopefully it will work for you.
Def gonna be one of my most used apps

Well what do you know, i can't find it on the market. Can you share the .apk with us?
EDIT: i have tried using market enabler but still can't find it on the market, i need a UK provider or the .apk

I have to disagree - it's a massive fail in the scheme of things!
The iPad streams are better quality than the Flash streams we have to put up with, and the BBC could easily make them compatible with all Android devices.
In addition, not being able to use the app over 3G is poor when you consider that you can from the "web" client.

Dave

i agree with you in regards to only having it on wifi, they should update it to be able to use it via 3g but then again if you are trying to view videos they would work better on wifi than 3g but but its early on Android so we will have to wait and see..

I have watched 2 programmes and they have worked flawlessly.
I am well happy.

Yes, but I'd rather have the option of watching a slightly lower quality stream over 3G, than no stream at all when you're not near a WiFi hotspot.
The irony is that there were 2 perfectly good 3rd party iPlayer solutions (BeebPlayer and myPlayer) that did (and still do!) work over both 3G and WiFi using the 3GP streams intended for Nokia phones, but the BBC had them removed from the Market.
What they have replaced them with is a Flash based solution which only works on ARM7 class devices thus shutting off a good percentage of Android users.

Dave

Well as i imagined it did not work, it installs and all but the i get the dreaded message "BBC iPlayer is only available within the United Kingdom". Oh well it was worth a try.

Just tested it with a MiFi and it plays fine. I can only get 3G where i live but there didnt seem to be any problems.

There is a way, it's called VPN, but it's hard to find a free UK VPN. Most of them are paid VPNs.

and do these vpns work over 3g?

I agree that the ipad version stream is higher quality than the Android. Bit pissed off with the beeb for that... also as mentioned there are some oddities with presentation when using it on the tab. Hopefully these things will be addressed soon. Not a bad first effort though, and useful for the live tv feed if nothing else.

can anyone help with keeping the iplayer app running?
On my 10.1, it opens a web browser. When i play something like a radio program, you need to keep on that page. If you navigate away from the page or even lock the tablet, the iplayer stops. This means you have to just leave the tablet displaying the page your listening too. This will obviously run down the powqer quicker. Surely you can multitask on the 10.1?
