I got a new orbit 2 a few days ago, only to be dissapointed about the web browser capabilities.
I tried opera, but dont like how the fit to screen option distorts the page and desktop option makes the page become massive and difficult to navigate.
Also, is there anyway way of watching online videos SMOOTHLY?
The flash plugin works but its really choppy.
Not sure whether ill be keeping the upgrade, taking offers for it.
The choppy video is probably because of the driver issues (you can read more about it in the forums if you search a little)
And did you get opera 8.5 bundled with your phone? Opera 9.5 is much smoother and better looking than the 8.5 version (imo), and i'll suggest you try upgrading to it to see if there is any difference.
I watched the video regarding Opera 9.5 but its still not released, and by the looks of what I gathered from other forums, people are becoming impatient.
Im currently using Opera 8.65 and no it wasnt bundled with my phone.
So will those driver issues fix the choppy video playback?.
Normal videos saved to the device work fine its just the online ones that use a flash applet like dailymotion
Try Skyfire (you'll have to sign up for it), is really amazing, is very fast and smooth

Need to do some more research on it before you get it I guess.
Anyways, CorePlayer, TCMP player all play videos fine.
ALL browsers are FINE and work great for different things.
I myself use pocket IE for sites that are in mobile format, and opera 9.5 "beta" for sites that are not in mobile format. I would use opera mobile if it wouldn't install over my 9.5, instead of pocket IE, but all my text based sites work fine in pocket IE (ebay, paypal, howardforums, flickr, youtube, etc)
I don't really know who watches youtube videos or other internet based videos via their browser, I've always seen them being watched through TCMP, CorePlayer, WMP streaming or HTC streaming media.
There are no official driver updates coming.
I am unsure as to the technology that Dailymotion uses, but if it's youtube based then you should have no problems.
I think you are looking for a desktop in a pocketpc, which no one has quite yet. Maybe an HTC advantage, who knows.
Doesnt matter what phone you have, all software will run the same if the devices were made in the same time frame.
Oh and I assume orbit 2 is in Europe somewhere? None the less, Skyfire is available to U.S. numbers only apparently for it's beta. Maybe NetFront would work for you, try that. I hated it.

Have you tried Opera Mini? Their new beta v4.1 can be downloaded and really works great. My favorite browser so far.
try opera with limit paragraph on. that's amazing.
Opera 9 (beta) is working really well, especially for a beta. Panning in web pages is pretty smooth most of the time and as the above poster said, with limit paragraph on, reading articles on news sites, etc is doable.
The negatives are it is a beta so bugs here and there. Other issues are the touch keyboards (numbers only) don't work and neither does pocketCM (space between every character). I don't believe there is flash support in the browser either.
I use PIE for youtube/flashbundle combo.
whats flash bundle?
do a search on it. it allows you to watch videos from sites like youtube (the real youtube not the mobile version of it). those sites use flash video and the flashbundle is a plugin for PIE that enables that functionality in PIE.
I have the flash 7 plugin, is that the same thing?
Whenever i try and load the non-mobile version of u-tube on PIE,
The whole phone just crashes and i have to take the battery out!

You know there is a little round hole on the bottom of the device next to the USB called the 'Reset Hole"??? Put the stylus in it and you won't have to get the battery out....
Just search for TCMP and FlashVideoBundle cab files and install them.
When you go to youtube.com and watch a vdieo, it will give you an option of saving or playing the video. It uses the true youtube video not some crappy mobile version as said before, and it's really smooth. I watch cartoons and shows that way that i can't get on my tv, it's a life saver. really great quality and resolution for my cruise.
Try NetFront 3.5 for the ultimate web experience on a phone It's a class of it's own
You can get it here.

Picsel browser is fast and smooth and does a nice job of re-formatting, also reads .PDF files and a bunch of other things
Opera mini 4.1 is very good for browsing although I don't like the way you input web addresses, and lack of file save features.
And for tabbed browsing newest Opera or Pieplus

Does that solely only play Youtube?. or can it play other online video's too like Veoh and Megavideo and Toudo etc. etc.
I looked at that picsel browser, couldnt find a download link though ..

If the player on the page is based on Flash then possibly yes...
I just installed Flash 7 and it hosed my PIE. Froze the phone and had to soft reset. Could not view any page with flash content. I uninstalled and I'm back to being able to view with TCPMP. So basically flash 7 is not compatible with PIE... I was thinking about trying it with Opera Mini but didn't even get that far. Is Flash 7 necessary with Opera Mini or Opera 9.5?

Not sure what the fascination is with playing YouTube thru the browser. I am not a real big YouTube user but I find that vTap is more than sufficient at playing whatever it is I need.
Hi,
Can anyone tell me how to fix this problem. Thanks
can you be a bit more specified? what kind of connection are you on? are you using cooked or shipped ROM? can you browse other webpages?
i am using wi-fi connection and yes i am able to go on the internet, but not youtube. Keep getting a message saying "no videos"
right now youtube is under maintenance, do you have this problem before or just these past few hours?
I thought there is a youtube application provided? With that application, video is loaded fine. But when i tried to watch youtube video through Opera 9.5, it shown no video. Probably flash player matter?
Ok Thanks theclueless, maybe thats why its not loading. I will continue to try.

javascript is not enabled in opera 9.5 beta, and flash lite 2.1 doesnt support flv
either download the opera 9.5 build 1938 and install flash lite 3.1, or use the youtube app
@chink
mine is working now, maybe you should try yours

I also have the same problem with the youtube application not being able to connect, saying that there are "No Videos". I believe that this error started after I installed flash lite 3.1 and Opera 9.5 build 1938. I reverted back to build 1522 but can't figure out how to revert to the previous version of Flash Lite without a hard reset.

How did you manage to get it working? I can watch youtube videos on youtube application but not on opera 9.5 1938
i never had any issues with the youtube application, played my videos fine...
I had the same about one week ago. No change after restoring the registry, after hard reset everything worked fine.
My YouTube app started working again a few days ago, without any changes on my part. Could it be that the service itself is flaky at times?
I am not using a proxy server anymore. Before that I had the same problem of not finding any video.
I had a problem using the YouTube app with TMobile. I had to do two things to fix it:
1. Disable the TMobile proxy
2. TMobile has a block on certain websites that may be 'adult' in nature/content. I had to get TMobile to disable this before YouTube worked. I found out about this by visiting YouTube from Opera and getting redirected to a TMobile page with instructions on how to remove the content lock

YouTube- Connection failed?
Hey all,
I just got the Fuze yesterday (i still kind of miss my Wizard ).
I've been having the "Connection Failed" error when trying to use the YouTube application. I wonder if it's content being blocked? AT&T hides the app since they have no parental controls, so I'm curious to find out an answer.
My old phone didn't use a data plan, so I have MediaNet, brand-new with my phone. I haven't cooked my Fuze yet, so i'm on the original ROM.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks!
------------------Edit:
Hey, I fixed it. HTC Fuze comes loaded with .NET framework v.2.0, so I just needed to upgrade to .NET framework 3.5. And that's why advanced config wasn't installing too!

If got both the 2.0 and 3.5 frameworks installed but still no connection. Advanced config works so I know the 3.5 framework is intact. Anyone think it would help to install the upgrade files from this site on it?
Recently installed Opera Mobile 10b2 on my HTC Touch 2 (Mega) WM6.5
Unfortunately can't watch videos or play flash games. It does link me to the adobe site, but theres nothing there.
Installed Flash Player v7 from the adobe site, but it still doesnt work.
Apart from using Skyfire (which is messy) is there any other solution, or does anyone know if Adobe are going to bring out a new version of flash player for wm6.5 soon.

Hello guys.
Have any of you had problems trying to view coreplayer youtube?
Apparently it is a problem so us TG01 Cannot view youtube because we are running an outdated version of coreplayer.
We will not be receiving an update therefore we cannot view youtube through coreplayer.
So i have tried downloading and installing various youtube applications, but none of them seem to support TG01 WVGA display coming out blurry.
I have tried: Google Youtube (blurry), HTC Youtube App (unable to play videos), YoutubePlay (blurry)
Can anyone suggest a good free youtube app (cab) that is fully functional and supports its screen resolution. I cannot find one!
(pleased do not suggest flash browsers i.e skyfire i have tried them and not impressed would prefer a built application.)
Thank you much apprieciated,
Oliver
KINOMA player work perfect, with seach engine very nice. is amazing!!!
sorry not the answer you're looking for, but INHO the latest version of the google app is pretty decent...
you could also try opera 10 as this now supports youtube or skyfire (which is my new best friend as far as flash based sites go)
or you could buy the latest coreplayer (no, i wouldn't either)
lemme know if you need me to post any cabs, i have all i mention above (bar the paid version of coreplayer)
cheers

Re Core Player - I already had the paid Core Player from previous devices and can confirm taht the latest edition works fine, while the one that was included in the TG01 ROM doesn't - it was one key bug they sorted in the last update.

I agree with you, i am not willing to pay to upgrade my coreplayer version. i already had opera mobile 10 as my default browser, but am not to keen on watching youtube on that.
as my first post stated, i have also used skyfire aswell, but i wouldpprefer to view youtube through a built in application rather than a flash browser.
I have also just tried the latest google youtube app. still no screen resolution fix...
any other suggestions?

I use Youtubeplay with success on TG01. My version is v1.0.0.11
http://tinyurl.com/youtubeplay
You can even download videos as FLV with it.
You say that videos are blurry. In fact some few videos are blurry but most of them are OK, I think that it depends of the source, not the player...
Greetings from BCN
i agree with olly, i've got the exact same problem. Ibelieve what he is asking for is an app called WVD which no longer works, it capabilities of viewing youtube vidz in 3gp, flv and mp4, and allowed you to download all videos. it was extremely fast aswel.
anyone know of a similar app or good substitube for WVD?
Hey brian,
In arag0ns manilla rom, he includes a working htc youtube app. If you are not looking to flash a new rom, perhaps you could contqct him and ask him if he could kindly provide us with a cab of A working HTC Youtoube.
htc manilla youtube app that can be found in aragon's roms isnt bad ... but it doesnt support Accounts !! so u have no idea if u got any new subbed videos
best thing rite now is m.youtube.com , and trust me i know it was ****ty last time u checked it , opening a stupid player app , but theyve stepped up their game and have account management , Flash player embedded , not the best quality but its lightweight and responsive .
hey guys..
okay so this is really pissing me off.. there is not ONE browser out there that supports all kinds of flash.. ive tried opera default, 10, internet explorer, skyfire( which doesnt work in my country!) and iris, which is great but still doesnt support all kinds of flash e.g. stream videos..
can someone help me out?
try m.opera.com on the device and install correct version or download freeware uzard web browser ..hope this helps

He is asking for a browser supporting ALL versions of flash - AFAIK there is no plugin for Opera that supports Flash 10. I've been using Uzard alot and have to say that it gets the closest to full flash support I've seen.

Agreed, Uzard isnt bad but not the perfect solution. I havent yet but mate flashed his HD2 to android and said the flash on this system works great, fast etc. Much better than Uzard :-(

Does it work on every site? I doubt it! It shouldn't be able to play Flash 10!
Skyfire plays ALL flash on any website (tried it on myself with misc sites) WORKS 100 %
You can get it from OMarket!!

skyfire isn´t supported in every country and it can´t really handle flash on all sites. if your watching a video it isn´t very fluid. no comparison to the android version of skyfire or the froyo browser.
i think uzard is the best you can get on winmo at the moment.

+1 exactly!
Haven't tried Uzard, but will. I hear it's good. Skyfire is hit & miss for me. I can watch some videos, with a lag. But it won't play YouTube! So it is only a temporary solution until something better comes along, like Uzard from what I am hearing.
I tried everything for Wm and skyfire and uzard are the closest you'll get to full flash but its not perfect.
I just boot into android (froyo builds) to get proper flash 10.1 sites.
Would highly recommend it. BBC iplayer works brilliant through the froyo browser.
All the flash sites I tried (like miniclip.com) were much better on android than on uzard/skyfire/wm

alrite thanks! ill try uzard right now
according to the uzard website, it supports VGA and QVGA and as far as i know hd2 is WVGA.
how to set all the page fit into the screen? I dont want to move arround.
I don't like uzard because when I try to rewind a video it starts all over.

I have to say that i agree here, while booting into android is a pain just to watch a flash video, the performance is impressive... video sizes to screen very nice and is quick.
If you are just missing youtube though have you tried the you tube app? I have had great success with that...
It will be good if we have true full flash support browser on windows mobile but personally i prefer to go on android... and the fact that hd2 soon will have android flashable rom makes me excited a lot!!
Is there a chance that the upcoming Adobe Flash 10.1 for Windows mobile 7 can be ripped for using with WM 6.5(.X)?
