Skyfire Beta 2, ver. 4721 - General Topics

Has anybody installed it or tried it yet? I just got a copy today, but I wanted to see if anyone else installed it first and if they are having any problems with it, etc. I installed a Beta of Opera a little while back and it really screwed up my phone, and caused me alot of problems, so I wanted to see if there was a list of problems with the Skyfire Beta 2 before I installed it. Thanks for the help.

Well I just installed it but there is an issue with the login procedure with the new beta users so I can't actually log on to test it.
Opening the program hasn't caused anything wrong with the phone but I will update you on what happens when I can actually browse the web with it whenever they get the login error fixed

i finally got the dload .cab from there sms link today
using code bGenius , u when i login i can't connect...email user/pass error
on the skyfire forums, they r working on this issue
u can try to email them [email protected] and tell them u want to RESEND the sms link with ur phone number, code bGenius
it won't work with proxy and NO VGA support yet for this skyfire

I can't get beyond the login says:
connection to the internet
could not be found. You may
be in flight mode.
Please verify your network
connection settings are
correct and try again
(000_2003)
exit (button)

I've downloaded it and logged in successfully, the only difference I can see so far, is a new smart fit tool, for making text easier to read. I'll have to play around with it more, and see if there is anything else.

It won't even let me install it! It keeps saying installation was unsuccessful
edit: nevermind, I downloaded it from my laptop & the cab worked. Must have been corrupted downloading from PIE or something

I installed it and had the same problem and saw that they were working on it on there website forum. I emailed them and they emailed me back today saying they fixed it and what you had to do to get it working. I haven't had time to try it yet. Here is a copy of there email to me:

Worked great for me. The feature I love (not sure if it existed in the past) is the ability to drag the zoom window to the size you want. You can make your flash videos fit your screen. Great feature.

It worked for me via WIFI, as soon as I try it via GPRS, I receive the 000_2003 error
Any suggestion?

How To Get Skyfire Username And Password
I have succesfully hacked skyfire well not exactly hacked. It is quite simple actiolly. All you need is an us mobile phone number and an e-mail you don't need the sms the number is the pass. I will post a program that gives you those directly.
O and I am writing from skyfire. It is realy nice. How i figured that out siple this was only for americans. This means that it is something stupid. Then it hit me that the number must be the password. It took me 5 mins to get a random us mobile phone number to use and you have it.

LOGGING INTO SITES

I am unable to log into certain web forums from my XDA - I get the message, "request could not be understood status 400"
Does anyone know how I can solve this?
Thanks.
I don't think pocket IE supports some login methods.
That's a shame - how can I log into my sites then?
look for another browser then IE
LOGGING IN
I have managed to log in to one site today but none of the others - how comes I need a new browser?
maybe because IE sucks ?

Software for automatically reloading internet pages

I would like to know if there is a software/program that can automatically reload internet pages (from IE or Opera) at regular intervals. Why? the reason is simple: I check my work mail via a webmail website and it requires a random password (given by a device) and if I let the website (for instance one hour) without doing anything, I need tre-enter a password which is a bit annoying. So the solution could be a software that can do that.
Thank you in advance for your answer!

[Q] Facebook Connection and Other Issues

After two weeks with my Focus, I'm obviously loving it. Upgrading from the Tilt has brought new meaning to my life.
Anyway, I've had enough little problems come up that I thought I'd try and get some questions answered by those smarter than I!
Integrated Facebook: Ever since the first day, I've been having issues with my Facebook account. Specifically, under Settings>email & accounts, the Facebook account says "Attention Required." Clicking on the account brings up an error popup that says "Not updated/We're having a problem connecting. Try again later./Last tried 8 hours ago/Error code: 83CF3104." Previously it gave error code "85FB5300." Here's a useless thread I started at MS Answers: http://social.answers.microsoft.com...266a6d0/#53db5744-b48c-4af8-bad5-9fe0fe95f61c It does manage to update FB from time to time, but it's wildly inconsistent.
This isn't that big a deal, but when I go to Facebook.com and login using IE on the phone, I get the "pocket version" which doesn't have any content. "Mobile version" shows up as a link on the page, but nothing is clickable. No biggie since I have the app and integration, just annoying.
IHeartRadio seems to lockup every time I use it. When I navigate away from it and then want to go back, it tries to start, shows the logo, then backs out.
My second most unstable app is Marketplace itself! It behaves exactly the same as above.
Any suggestions would be great! Thanks!
EDIT: Adding #5: Everyone says that I should be able to see an icon to find people on my exchange server, but I haven't been able to ever find it. I create a new email from my Outlook account, then click the "To" field to bring up my address book, but there is no link to my exchange directory. Am I doing something wrong?
do you have ssl enabled in facebook settings? if so, try disabling it.

I don't have an option for SSL in the Facebook account settings on the phone. Is that what you're asking?

I get "search exchange directory" buttons both in email and the people hub. In email, start typing the name of the person you're looking for, and the last entry in the list you get will be the exchange directory. Similarily, using search in the people hub will have exchange as the last possible button.

Yup! That's what I've heard, and what I don't get. I wonder if my company's implementation is messed up.

No... if you have the SSL option enabled on your Facebook account, not on your phone, the people hub will not update.
Seems to be an issue with the Focus as other WP7 users have not seen this issue,
I've looked every where I can in the phone and cannot see where the settings are that control the Facebook feed.
Log into Facebook via your web browser and disable the SSL setting under your security options.
For anyone still suffering this problem, I found a solution:
SOLUTION (from http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/...83cf0108/4c4c7887-2b8b-4a83-b816-bf26e265fe17)
I went through my People Hub, opening every contact that had no picture to see what account they were in. Most of them were contacts from my Live account, but ONE was a Facebook contact. (Per the thread above, Facebook connection problems can be caused by a friends' corrupt profile picture.) I went to her profile online (where the picture showed up fine) and unfriended her. I had to wait several hours for her to disappear from my People Hub, but once she did I immediately went to Settings>Email & Accounts and, for the first time ever, saw the Facebook account with no error message!
As I said, I have been suffering this error message since day 1, although I've seen at least 4 distinct error codes (85FB4400, 85FB5300, 83CF3104, 83CF0108). I tried deleting and restoring the Facebook account, deleting and restoring the Facebook app, changing my Facebook password, logging out of Facebook on my PC, all to no avail. I never performed a factory reset, because I've installed all of my apps from the Marketplace (not Zune), and was not eager to hunt them all down again (please tell me this is another WP7 bug that is being fixed).
Hope this helps others! I've refreinded her and she's changed her profile pic in the last few weeks, so I'll keep my fingers crossed.
I had the problem with facebook too a few months back. Turned out to be one profile picture that appeared as a red x. Unfriended and the error went away for me too.
Yeah, re-adding her as a friend and the problem is back. Hoping she changes her pic soon.

HBOGO.com on gtablet

I was wondering if anyone has had any success getting HBOGO.com to run on any of the variant ROM.
The app force closes as far as I know... the reasons and a workaround can be found in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056436&page=2
However, if you don't want to go through all that, you can just use it through a browser window. I found that the easiest way to get it to work with FIOS is to login to your FIOS account through verizon first, then go to the HBO GO page and login, it should take your FIOS creds from there and you're good to go.
I got the app working, for a while by going through the Framework modifications. I couldn't get the website to work because every time it pops up the DirecTV login information the Flash from the front page just covers up the login page. Highly annoying.
That was issue I was having with a browser as well, logging into FIOS first took care of it, not sure if DTV login will do the same thing.

I had the same issue. I was able to login using the web browser, but it was a Major PITA. Here is how I did it.
Using Dolphin HD..
1) go to hbogo.com.
2) click on the SIGN-IN option (As expected, the LOGIN screen is now hidden behind the main screen, you can see it pop through when you pinch to zoom.
3) Zoom in a bit and then using just a single finger, click where you believe the EMAIL address field on the sign-in form may be located. If you are correct, then the keyboard will pop up and you can enter your HBO GO email address (Assuming you are already subscribed). You will be typing blind, so just keep typing till you have your HBOGO email address entered.
4) Use the pinch to zoom method to get a glimpse of the login form to see if what you typed is actually going into the Email address form field. If not, then repeat steps 3.
5) Repeat the same step again for the password and then click GO. If you typed everything correctly, you should be all set and it will stay this way as I believe a Cookie is created.
It took me 10 mins of trial and error before I got it, but it works great!
If I'm subscribe to HBO, do I need to pay something extra for HBOgo?

No, I had HBO for a month, and I just went to HBOGO.com and entered my login infor for my dishnetwork account ( I guess that's how they validate that you have access ) and that's it, you have to create a login for hbogo too.
How is the video quality?
Anyone else having success with the app on the gtab?
