Hi guys take a look at this
http://teashark.com/index.html
just tryed it has some bugs but it is very promising
portrait to landscape on my vox turns in less than a second
it as tabs with preview and it is very responsive....
SSL connections do work well also.
It's based on Webkit the same engine that moves Safari 3.
and i forgot to say that is free
How did you get it to work when the site says that it is not for Windows Mobile at the moment?
Roland
Hey Rolandh did you notice that your signature has a typo
It's a jad/jar file so it works perfectly on esmertec Jbed...like operamini.etc...
simply Point your WAP browser at wap.teashark.com.
or download TeaShark from your PC and transfer it to your phone: http://teashark.com/download.html

Yeah I did, just not got round to correcting it yet lol
Meh. It looks really good with the panning and cursor but the font isn't configurable. I really like the way the history and back works with be able to jump all the way back or just a few pages using the preview icon. That is really good.
When it comes out of BETA, it's going to be great.
its strange this program is SO similar to opera mini, even the menus are almost the same. its either a copied version of opera mini, or a modded version of it! hmmm..
Well, it's based on Web Kit, so it aint just a copy!
This browser is great!!
I didn't notice that many bug. I reported one regarding the full azerty keyboard : some keys won't work as expected.
I'm not sure why but the fonts really look ugly when I run Java applications (so same with opera mini); is there any way to enable some anti aliasing or something similar ?
I think this is a very cool browser.
If you have problems with your qwerty keyboard, select edit when entering an adress It will work like this.
For the fonts and antialiasing, I guess you are running JBed - Build 20071119.3.1. If so, antialiasing it`s not working.
Other than that, it is an interestng browser. Let`s say it might be a competition in the future for Opera mini.

Hi,
this is my first WM6 phone. I guess some of the software I would have normally loaded on a WM5 or 2003 phone might now be redundant.
Would appreciate if folk would relay their experiences on:
1. Useful Utility software
2. Games that work well
3. How is MS Live - is there any point in IM+ ?
much appreciated
rgds
Just received mine !! you won't be disappointed. I'll let you know if I find software that works well.
I have just installed Facade and Papyrus from sbsh.net, relly nice apps that make the homepage and calendar much better. Papyrus does not work in landscape mode yet though, maybe an update will come out soon.
For surfing i use Opera mini, much nicer than internet explorer.

does Opera mini just run on java (so its not a WM app.) ?

Hi,
yes it runs on Java, so you first have to start java, then opera. Maybe it's possible to start java with opera directly somehow.

Mine is being delivered today as well . I plan to try the new version of IM+ in which they FINALLY added an autoconnect feature that will reconnect the client after a phone call. Before I had to manually reconnect the program. If it works I'll definitely post a follow up.
Though I wish there was a sms thread app like the palm version for the treo.
hi
indeed theres a app similar to the palm messaging.
there is also txtman, wich looks better but crashes every time a sms is recieved...
Qthreader works well, so enjoy...
forget to mention, despite working well there is some flaws... :S
some characters are displayng incorrectly in sent and recieved sms's (me think's that it must have something to do with unicode suport).
but try it... nothing to lose (except hope for threaded sms app)
Just tested IM+ on a trial basis and had some trouble with it. Although it runs in landscape and portrait mode, it can't switch between the modes once its started already. If you start in portrait mode and switch to landscape it remains unscaled or view looks somewhat messed up. If you go back to the mode it started in then it looks perfectly fine.
Gonna try the Qthreaded app though.

hey guys, i was thoroughly disappointed with opera mobiles performance.. it really sucked (for me at least). Page would take a long time to open, and the windows would move all over the place while the page was loading, etc. Anyways, i finally decided to download opera mini and its a world of a difference, its amazing! however to do it correctly, follow this guys advise:
http://mobilitysite.com/2008/06/running-opera-mini-41-on-windows-mobile-2/
dont just go to operamini.com and download the version they tell you, because then you have to agree to that message everytime you go to a page. if you do it the way this guy says, you only have to give permission the first time you open opera. he also shows you a way to have it as a program, eliminating the need to open the jbed java app to launch from there.
another thing i did, is because our device is vga, the font was small. i set it to extra large, and its very good. even the scrolling is much better on the mini version, and ITS MUCH FASTER!! i cant emphasize the last one enough. anyways, just wanted to let u guys know, good luck
ps: also, something that is huge for me, typing something into a webpage is also much better now. on opera mobile, i would have to try to fit the screen size so i can see what i'm typing; with opera mini, it opens a new window for you to t ype in, it's like your typing in word or something. makes a huge difference IMO
omar
I couldn't agree more.
Unless something is wrong with just my phone, I can't see how anyone would like Opera Mobile.
Just open any forum page here. Probably takes 20-30 seconds to load on Opera Mobile on a fast Wifi connection...and that's after it takes 5-10 seconds to just load up.
Do it on Opera Mini and it takes maybe 2 on a 1x connection, even.
Opera Mini doesn't have tabs, but you are saving so much time elsewhere, that's livable.
It also runs through a proxy, so I guess you could get stale pages or https stuff won't work great.
But, for 95% of the browsing I do, Mini works perfectly and is unbelievably fast and it's clear on the vga screen.
I also chose Extra Large fonts.
If you decide to use Opera Mini, here's a way to make it the "default" for opening links.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=384271
Have you guys tried the newer version of Skyfire? If so, do you like Mini better?
ya i use mini much more than mobile
btw just download this zip, extract cab and install it
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=113596&d=1221663410
it will ask if u want to make mini default browser...also installs java if u dont have it.
i change my image quality to high and font to biggest settings
I'm using UCWEB6 and I'm quite satisfied. Fast enough, tabbed browsing, easy to use..
yeah, im done using opera mobile, mini works so good!
i also use piscel and sometimes skyfire if im next to an ac jack... ill use ie just as i do on desktop, BUSINESS ONLY!
I used Opera Mobile for about a minute....
Help: I am having a problem with Mini not fully loading pages and getting white screens. I have Jbed 2.1 (read it was better than the newest version) and the newest Mini. Any advise?
I love the speed of Mini (thanks for posting the download link), but even on extra large the text is very very small. Is there a way to make it show up bigger?

Are you using the generic version? Seems like UCWEB6 was made for Nokia devices not HTC
Another opera mini fan here, the fastest browser I have used, that includes skyfire. Only issue is lack of tabs, but otherwise its great

No, I'm using this one. It says ppc2003 but it's working fine on all my devices, supports both VGA and QVGA
im using a mix of ucweb and operamini.. loving it. the only thing wrong with this phone is the lack of softkeys.. makes browsing with mini a little harder..
I've been using the "vga" version of skyfire since it came out, and I love it for its full browsing experience, speed, and ability to watch video in the browser.
Thank you for this thread!
I never used opera mini before and I was amazed by it's speed. It's not going to be my default browser (that's still PIE because I almost only view sites which are optimized for mobile devices) but it's absolutely perfect for viewing this forum for example!

This crashed for me. Whole device froze up.
Opera Mobile.. it's just CRAP compared to Opera Mini.
CONS Opera Mobile:
- load time (HTC/Opera cheat by preloading Opera at StartUp)
- lots of squares while dragging
- many times while you drag the stupid software cannot make difference between dragging and tapping
- if you drag the page and the page is still loading, you are dropped to other position that you are.. this is so annoying.. you have to drag again or wait until all the page elements are loaded by the browser
So, Opera Mini is very good on the majority of sites. (there are problem with the pages with many images, it cannot handle all of them).
I'm using a VGA version of jbed and I don't have problem with font size ANYMORE.
Big thanks to trueg. Get it from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2973176&postcount=23
if i'm not mistaken, the reason why opera mini is so fast is because the pages are actually cached or pre-processed by Opera servers and then sent to you. with Opera mobile, you connect to the website directly.

That's very strange. It works great on my Blueangel, Wizard, Universal, Trinity and Raphael with all the custom roms I have installed on them and with the shipped rom on the Raphael the first day I got it.
Try installing on the SD card or the device memory, whichever you haven't tried.
Still have to say yes
Anyone else having issues with still having to click yes every time you try and go to a site? If I exit and open, the first time I try to open I get this annoying request. Followed the directions exactly and had no problems?
Also can't seem to browse with this on wifi, anyone else having this issue?

Good question! I HATE when the OEM/Carriers burn these apps into the ROM, either preventing you from ever upgrading them, or forcing you to use or create cooked ROMs.
I personally find both the PIE and the Opera browsers that came stock with my AT&T Fuze somewhat lacking, preventing me from perusing a few of my favorite sites, and wish I could look for upgrades to them. Until I start fiddling with the actual ROM, though, I am stuck looking for alternative browsers altogether (Picsel, Opera Mini, etc.), and I find the available selections are not fitting my needs, either.
I wanted to wait a while longer before I started playing with some kitchens, but it looks like it might happen sooner than planned, at this point.
Anyone with an idea outside of cooking? Is there any way to install an upgraded Opera on top of the cr4p one that came with the device?

Hmmm, Iris Browser v1.1.9 looks pretty promising!
Hi all,
FWIW, I just DL'd the latest Iris Browser (v1.1.9) this morning, and played with it on my commute into work, and find it's really quite good. I will need to play with it a bit more to figure out what it's true strengths/weaknesses are, but from the short test I did, I'm optimistic.
Text size gets a bit small, though, and if you increase the zoom, and you need to scroll around. It would be nice if there was a way to increase the text size and still have it fit the width of the screen, but I think I can live with this. It renders pages that IE and Opera choke on, and it does so quickly. It does tabbed browsing, the circle-zoom thingie, and is g-sensor-aware, so that's cool too.
It automatically stores its cache wherever you have IE Temporary Internet Files located, so there's no need to tweak that setting if you already have IE set the way you want.
It doesn't look like it supports flash or .FLV content, yet, so that's a minus.
But it's free for non-business use, so the price is right! ;-)
If interested, you can get it here.
Hope somebody finds this info useful.

have you tried skyfire? it's free and it supports flash

Yes, I have. it appears to only support two zoom levels, and those at qvga resolution only. I have a very hard time trying to read the pages it renders.
I sure wish someone would create a browser where one could lock the text size, and then the browser would render the text within the screen size. This zooming with the same gestures as panning is driving me crazy.
Thanks for your suggestion, tho.

Any new opinions of Opera 9.7beta?
Anyone using Opera Mini? What do you think about that?
http://www.opera.com/mini/next/
Downloading directly from HD2:
mini.opera.com (works from most people)
m.opera.com/next (if mini.opera.com only gives you java download)
Looks good
Registry edit for setting Opera Mini 5 as default browser: (Update: needs some more tweaking, look below)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE - Software - Microsoft - Shell - Rai - : DEFBROWSER
edit the path at the String Value, to:
"[install memory]/Program files/Opera Mini 5/OperaMini5-WM-armv4i.exe"
Update: Not quite there yet by setting it to default
Some major bugs i've noticed when having Opera Mini 5 set to default browser
1. When clicking links from Peep, Opera Mini 5 starts, but doesen't load the page (URL bar is empty)
2. When clicking links from emails, the previous default browser (Opera 10 beta 3 in my case)
3. Clicking links from sms app, also loads previous default browser....
4. Clicking visual links from Internet tab also loads OM5, but doesen't load page...
so only time I can see it's usefull to have it as default is when clicking "Start webbrowser" at the Internet tab...
Anyone have an idea? Something missing at the registry, or is it a OM5 issue?
THX for the hint. It looks really good! For the people that do not find the version on arxx's link - just click mini.opera.com from your HD2 and you'll get the *.cab.
1st impressions: It is DAMN fast! We got rid of the crappy OperaMini-Keyboard. We got (of course) directly an OperaMini-shortcut. Multitouch doesn't work. Love it anyway!
@de Wolfe
hello,
if I enter mini.opera.com I get the jar / jad file to download and no .cap.
Opera Mini 5 released as native WM app - it's great!
Opera Mini 5 has just been released as a native Windows Mobile application - so it no longer needs a java runtime environment!
Also, it seems it is no longer a beta - many issues have been resolved!
I tested it and it's really fast and smooth!
Here's the article on PocketNow.com:
http://pocketnow.com/software-1/opera-mini-5-updated-as-native-winmo-app-smoother-better
Although the article mentions the cab can be downloaded on the official Opera Mini website - I was not able to find the cab there. I found it on ppcgeeks and I'm attaching it to this post.

So what is the difference between this and opera mobile 10?
The only real difference I have noticed is the cool little transition animation when you move between pages but everything else seems to be the same.
They appear to be on par speed wise (not that I have times each)
Mini does startup a little quicker but thats about all I have noticed.
What do you guys think?
awesome it uses ur own keyboard now xD instead of that crappy built-in 1 cheers m8 ^^ and network66 trying using m.opera.com worked for me

What kind of connection are you using? Wifi? GPRS? EDGE? 3G? HSDPA?
Other than that, I have no idea!
Just tried to run it and it hangs on the first screen, got the title bar and that's it...
I have a problem with my logins on websites!? the mini doesn't remember me and I will have to login everytime... sometimes after changing from site 1 to 2 into the same post. so maybe there's a problem with cookies??
I agree opera mini is so much faster, shame no zoom or landscape view. In the settings image quality is set to low if changed to meduim this slows down page rendering considerably.

As previously stated, Mini is way faster than Mobile, no comparison, be it in terms of loading webpages, transitions, or even launching and closing the app itself.
It does lack some of the more robust niceties of Mobile, but for casual browsing, Mini is as good (imho) and as fast as it gets.

There is a landscape mode, albeit I have to slide out my keyboard (on TP2) to activate it.
Since it's a full-fledged app now, im sure there has to be a registry setting that will allow it to make use of the G-sensor.
Just saw this thread in HD2 - General
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=5895662#post5895662
Have yet to download myself and try but looking at Opera's site does seem to suggest its now fully availiable
Multitouch?
Else it's not interesting.
How does this work with the sense browser tab? does it still open in Opera 9 or defaults to opera 10?
Tried it.
But it is not supporting multitouch
So no Pinch & Zoom.
Totally useless.
Using it on the HD2 is a pain in the ass.
So, I removed it after 5 minutes
Works ok here, accelerometer works automatically now in any direction, even upside down.
eBay is still not working properly though, it just doesn't render correctly when viewing items in my eBay.
Will stick to Opera 9.7 and use v10 now and again, mainly as I miss the zoom bar in 9.7.
downloading it now
No pinch zoom. Sadly we'll have to wait for 10.1 version i guess.
I like it though. It's fast and easy to use even without multitouch support.
I'd be very suprised if they add multi-touch support to Opera 10. For 1 thing, it's not for the HD2, it's for all WM phones, and secondly, it doesn't have variable zooming - just zoomed and not zoomed. (Okay, you can change the zoom amount in settings, but it's still not the same as a zoom bar).
I really doubt you'll see it in Opera 10.
Flash Player
Hi All,
I can't get the flash player to work on mine. I am running the stock 02 rom. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

John,
If you are right, then I consider Opera 10 to be a regression compared to Opera 9.7...
No variable zoom,
No multitouch.
What's the use?
I tested it, and it is really not a pleasure to navigate with it. Webpages are even to small (unreadable) or too big (unreadable)...
horrible...
tbh I havent noticed a need for variable zoom or multi-touch yet. Small shows me layout, and double tap re-flows stuff ok on the few sites I have looked at.
I am running however both 9.7 and 10.
But tbh 9.7 is pretty damn good too. I think that 10 adds a bit of speed though. but it's horses for courses. they are both good browsers. Then add opera mini 5 to the mix, upcoming fennec and skyfire and IEmobile and you are all set! you can never be disappointed.
p.s. I think they are all good browsers on HD2. i havent been disappointed with any of them. even IE mobile.
Font rendering seems to be better than 9.7.. I'm switching to 10.
Tried Mobile 10 for a while, but IMHO it's useless on the HD2, certainly compared to Opera Mini 5 and even Opera 9,7. So I will stick to Mini 5 (which I use the most) and occasionally 9.7. For flash/video, I use Skyfire.
No Pinch to Zoom yet :/
Same bug, like in beta, the text is not in the right form like the original page!
And very slow to load the page! Opera 9.7 is more faster!
flash isnt working for me. using stock tmobile rom. can anyone please direct me to where i download the plugins to make flash work?
many thanks
Does anyone know if opera 10 is client based or a server based browser?
Would like to know before I download it, as I do internet banking on my HD2.
The final version is not mutch better as the beta. so i will stick to 9.7

Both. There's a "Turbo mode" option, when on it goes through the server, when off it goes direct.
On O2 UK I have found mobile10 to render faster and just as accurately as 9.7...but of course YMMV!!!
I just think it is pretty slick. and has a nicer feel than 9.7. Got to say they are all rather identical.
