Has anyone suiccessfully ran the SkyFire browser on the HTCS710?
I have donwloaded it a couple of times and when installing get the message - this is not compatible with your device?
I am using it with no problem at all. Did you download proper version for non-touchscreen device?
I'm using. It's not working well... One page and restart
I've no problem running Skyfire on the S710. Although I'm using Custom Firmware.
Even youtube plays without problem!
Ok - thanks guys - at least I know it should install, i'll just keep trying.
BTW i am running WM6.1 Clean Rom made by Fireburned, but i guess that should not make any difference!
Success at last

Well just tried downloading for the 5th or 6th time in the last 2-3 days and it has instaled and sppears to be running well, though it does seem alittle slow on GPRS - will have to try it on WiFi
SkyFire works fine on my S710,
bust some times its too slow -> servers are overloaded
i agree it does seem slow, even when i am using it on wifi and i am still trying to get used to the zoom and mouse functions!
it is really slow and it drains the battery so quickly, i wouldn't use it unless you have a nearby power supply! other than that, no problems...
This is the answer to most of my prayers. Finally! I was beginning to lose faith with my HTC s710.
Thunderer, my one installed and loaded just fine with no glitches. I also experience slowness though. The audio plays just fine with no glitches but the video freezes for 95% of the time and then stutters for the last 5.

I asked the question in the thread but since its past thirty pages I don't think people read that far into it anymore. Please help.
I think I have a memory leak with IM+ I downloaded both the Touchflo and Professional and they both have the same problem. When I go to send an IM to someone the IM box opens but the typing area doesn't show nething just the previous screen where the text box is supposed to be. I used agile but that doesn't connect for ****.
I also have a problem with connection to the internet. I used the network wizard but same thing. I changed the settings from wap.voicestream to internet2 since I pay $30 a month for the internet. Still same problem takes long to grab a connection. Also if it does connect and I minimize a program like IM+ or whatever the internet disconnects then.
This is such a great rom so quick I don't wanna get another one just cuz of these to problems but its getting annoying. Please help because this will cure my flashing addiction if I figure it out.

There is no memory leak in the ROM but.... the Touchflo have a leak... the rest is a IM+ problem not a ROM problem
When i don't startup Touchflo there is np but after using it i miss some mem
Try advancedconfig v1.0 for your connection. problem... and deleted all conn. setting and enter them again.

I'll try the connection stuff at home but I got another question if it's not the rom then what is it. Because the IM+ worked perfectly fine with all the other roms except these two. Worked perfect on the regualr TNT.

i have no idea why, but i experienced the exact same issue. the other roms that ive been using (at least 6 different ones this week) dont have this problem. im back to my stable one, modified Jaguar 3.1.....
Hi.
I just hard reseted my HD2 to get rid of whatever might have come since I've been installing tons of stuff just playing around.
However, yesterday I activated WiFi N for the first time.
I notice that skyfire runs blazing fast, and everything else works great.
Opera on the other hand only works when I press one of the favorite thumbnails in the "Internet-tab". On the page that has been loaded I can do anything I wish, clicking links etc. IF I however enter another adress or do a google search I just get the error page where it says I should check my internet connection.
If I go back to skyfire and try any adress it works great, as well as any other program that uses the net. The only problem is when one is inside opera and wants to go to a new adress. It somehow thinks that you do not have any internet connection.
I tried disabling WiFi N and opera worked better then.
As soon as I turn of WiFi and go 3G-surfing opera works great.
I'm glad you resolved your problem but my diamond has no issues with the draft N tweak and Opera.

or use opera 10 beta 2 instead..
I've never seen this issue, but the stock opera does have problems working out whether you've changed from wifi to 3g and back anyway

Well it's not really resolved since I prefer to have WiFi N activated.
I was actually wondering if anyone else had stumbled upon this and found a solution.

I see, maybe I should go for opera 10 then.
Skyfire works great, flash and all, besides it's soooo much faster than opera.
The downside is that it doesn't support multitouch, it doesn't auto-allign text and the quality overall, even the text is blurry when one zooms in.
If skyfire could fix this I would go for skyfire all times above opera, even though I'm big fan of opera and always use it on my PC.
UPDATE
I switched WiFi N off and played around.
It seems that opera works more frequently now, but still randomly on the WiFi.
I mostlye get the connection error (8 out of 10 times) and other times it just works.
It seems that if I turn the WiFi on and go to opera direct, it won't work. If I start skyfire, then go to opera, it will work for a couple of minutes (sometimes).
I want to remark that Skyfire works at all times, at every single try.
What's going on here? :S
I have wifi n activated on my hd2 and have the same issue you have. There is one major difference though. In my case the error messages are pretty random - say once every 30 to 40 attempts. Currently I can live with that but off course it would help to get the issue out of the way...
Sorry couldn't be much help.

Weird, after a freshly activated connection I can open opera ONCE and it works fine. If I close opera, and open it a second time it won't work..

Opera supports flash too. You just need to activate the Flash libraries:

well, since opera 10 doesn't solve anything, and doesn't support multitouch, it doesn't appeal to me.
I'm gonna try a new ROM soon to see if it helps to solve my original problem.
I have a huge issue with the stock browser crashing very often, and its starting to get annoying... below is a 3 minute video of me trying to use the browser (there is no audio, onli video), and if i recall correcly, it.crashes 2 times in the 3 minute period... all help regarding this will be much appreciated

once so far. I actually had to reboot the xoom to get it back going.
5 days of heavy use. No browser crashes. Wifi only version.

Far more than it should. At least 5 times in the week I've had it.

Never happens...cause i don't use it.
I haven't kept count, but i'd guess at least 5 times. I've also had one forced reboot (system was none responsive, then got the honeycomb boot animation.
Honestly, maybe one or two times a day on average. I use the Xoom as my main device while I work/code from my laptop. The Xoom is my browser and testing device.
Though most of the times the browser crashes I either:
- have multiple tabs with videos, etc open in the browser
or
- am trying to visit a site that's heavily coded and crap for web standards
Usually its the later. (Which a lot of even major sites have terribly coded sites)
It crashes everyday for me, but I have alot of tabs open...what pisses me off is it doesn't reload the sites that were open after the crash...
2 or 3 times a day for me. Seems like it gets jammed up, I use a lot of flash
Not once, although the launcher has crashed and the entire thing has frozen up on me twice. I've only had it for 3 days
My fiance's crashes 4-6 times a day.
Miñe crashes like clockwork when I tries to close a facebook chat session.. happens in dolphin also.. I think its still more buggy then I would hope. But I'm gonna clean this thing out soon and hopeully its all my crap and oc's that I did
I usually only have two tabs open and only visit a handful of sites. No crashes so far. If you get a consistent crash on the same site, post it here so it can be verified and reported.
It's happened maybe four times for me. I've also had it act "funny" where it won't finish loading pages (the status goes most of the way, and hangs). It continues to respond, but just won't finish the pages (especially complicated ones). Killing the browser fixes it.

once when I first got it. Overall I've had a very bug free existence on my wifi xoom.
my browser gives me fits also. I was one of the people that used the code and received the 25% discount. Any other users with discount have more of a browser problem then others. Just curious if there's some connection there.
You guys should try Dolphin Mini...It works good as hell..!!!! Also don't confuse this with Dolphin Hd.
no crashes but browser is slow as hell. Why? Is the a fix or patch or something? There is no reason why the xoom browser should not load ,scoll, and respond as fast if not faster than my galay tablet. Both on same wifi. Any ideas?
I have the Motorola Xoom Wifi and the stock browser crashed constantly and froze. I use Opera 11 and it works flawless. I have used for almost a week and have had no crashes since. You can get it free in the marketplace - try it out.
yep Opera is OK but comes with no flash support..once again please try Dolphin mini..I'm ready to take Opera off my Xoom now thanks to Dolphin mini.
Someone is having problems with lag on youtube version 2.3.4? Slowdowns of every 5 seconds, in several different roms gives the same problem, now if I install an older version of youtube, the problem goes away, back to normal.
Someone is having this problem?
I tested it on two sensations, which is on my 710E and my friend who is 4G.
do the test with you, pay close attention to the video if it will not slow down, then come back normal, is 5 sec slows down again, back to normal there.
dont have any problems with mine. are you using wifi connection or 3g connection?
It happens to mine as well, except that the default YouTube App version is lagging the video playback ONLY when Timeline bar is brought up and keeps lagging unless it disappears.
I am trying to find out wether this is Software ( ROM or w/e ) issue or Hardware.
I did take my phone to warranty service and they were unable to help. Jerks.
I am seriously willing to void warranty and flash preinstalled ROM with CM or just a stock one, ONLY IF I know for sure that his is Software issue.
Note:
I did test for this issue on multiple WiFi's and 3G ... to no avail. I think it started after 2nd factory data reset I did, and nothing changes when I do the reset ...
This problem DOES NOT occure when you play the video via Internet Browser on youtube.com or m.youtube.com
I am concered about Hardware issue since phone feel sluggish overall ( slideshow scrolling when there are not that many elements on UI ... ) and it lags a bit 1080p video (picky,ye ...)
Edit :
My thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1444808
the problem is that if you install the old version of youtube everything back to normal, it is clear that the problem is in software
Well, I guess I am going to live with laggy phone/youtube app for now. Should get ICS update and see if it fixed the issue, if not...
I am going ROOT that mofo and take that *@#$ ROM down with my own bare hands.
actually, after installing the latest version of the ICS ARHD 6.1.1, which also comes with youtube 3.3.0 the problem is over.
Glad you fixed it. ICS Is the best
For now.
Okay... so since I updated to ICS my browser loads extremely slow. Pages take about 10-50 seconds to load or more, and sometimes it hangs for minutes. Ran speed test and getting my advertised 20megs. I have used the stock browser, ICS+, dolphin, opera, you name it I have tried it. It's loading videos slow as well. I have rooted it and now back on stock rom. However, I have tried Revolver's and Revolution's rom as well. It ran perfect on Honeycomb though. I have cleared cache many times, factory resets, I have tf101 b60. When I use apps though, my speed is fine, like XDA HD or any forum app. It's just my browsing experience.
My laptop and phone connect to wifi just perfect and no wifi settings have been changed, like I said it was working fine on honeycomb so I doubt if it's a hardware issue. I can usually figure these things out by trouble shooting or reading forum post, and rarely have to ask my own questions. I STUMPED!!!
Just tested it again. Facebook loaded a little slow, gmail took literally 2 minutes, engadget took about 25 seconds. Who knows.......
I have noticed this as well. At times, I have to force kill the browser just to get it working again. This seems to happen on any browser, not just the default.
I think I will be trying some different roms to see if it helps. The stock rom hasn't impressed me a ton.
Any solution?
Why does ics take so long to load web pages? My phone is much faster and not on wifi. I explained my situation in the first post.
