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,

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.
http://www.access-company.com/products/netfrontmobile/browser/35_wm_tp.html
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.
Heres the problem, i cant get any of the new roms working right with tcpmp at all. I usually just install the .72 rc1 cab, flv plugin, then video sites and ta da, works perfect. On these new roms (from march to current), if its not cooked in then it aint workin. Im currently using L26's v4 diamond based rom with .81 and all plugins installed and still no deal. Yes ive posted this in his thread but no answer, just it worked for me so it should work for everyone type of response. When i click on a video from video sites, tcpmp starts and displays first frame of clip, i then press play, plays maybe 1-5 seconds of 2-4 minute clips, then get the nasty wait curser of death that will spin all day if i dont hit pause and god forbid it actually load my video, back to step one. I can choos to download the clip and it works after downloading of course but cant get it to play or stream. Im looking for the best rom you guys know of that wont give me this problem because the chef took the time to make tcpmp work and cook it into their rom. Im even at the point where i dont care if i have to pay for a program to get my video site flash videos to work, usually youtube and porn. Thank you guys!
I’m also using L26 V4 with TCPMP 0.81 (will not let me upload TCPMP) and this flash video bundle, no flv plugin and when it loads there is no need to hit play.

What do u mean it wont lt u upload tcpmp? Im also using L26 V4 with .81 installed with 4 plugins that come with it and video sites (im sure the same one u posted but ill try urs) and still having this problem bro. So dang frustrating. I think thats the problem, mine doesnt load, just sits on a picture of the first frame.
Yesterday and today I tried to attach the cab I use and it fails to upload.

Oh. Still no deal my friend. I uninstalled all apps like video sites, tcpmp, etc, then soft reset. I then installed your video sites (which was the exact same one as mine) and just the .81 player cab like u said, then soft reset again. Then went to video sites, clicked on numerous videos from numerous sites, same problem. MAybe 1 out of 15 videos pllay through wit no probs but the ones that play are like 30 second clips. The others just load the first screen or frame and sits there, doesnt play on its own like u said it does after it loads because i dont think my stupid phone loads. I then wait for 10 minutes thinking my phone is loading my 2 minute clip that would only take 2 minutes to download, still nothing, press play and it shows the pause button but doesnt play anything, or plays 1-10 seconds of clip and then the wait cursor pops up, i then try to be patient and let another 10 minutes of wait cursor to spin before i press pause then play again and to my surprise, still nothing and stuck on where it stopped at the first time or better yet, the first frame.
As u can see my frustration im at the point where i dont care if i have to pay top dollar for a 3rd party app that will play any or almost any type of video from video sites or any web site without any of these problems and will work on any 6.0 or 6.1 rom on my tilt. If anyone knows of a program or app with this ability can u please post the name of it so i can purchase or download?
Better yet, anyone know of a recent good om that already has tcpmp cooked in that doesnt have these problems? I would like to stay up to date with the newest builds and roms that are released but will not sacrifice my video sites or internet flash video viewing. Whats the use of a $600 dollar device if it cant even play a damn 2 minute video clip? Ive had better video playback on my $20 razor phone back in the day.
Thank you guys again for helping me out and im sorry, just extremly frustrated!
To be honest with you, i gave up on tcpmp with flash plugin. a lot of the sites dont even work.. it'll give u an error and not even open up tcpmp my advice, is veveo vtap!
its a program that has video search and wikipedia search in one app. it searchs youtube, google video, metacafe and a couple others.
I highly recommend it!
Thanks, ill try it out. FOr now im using skyfire beta to watch flash videos (cant believe its takin this long for a flash based web broswer to finally come out of ppc). WOuld still like to get some input though on if or any apps/programs exist that will stream flash or any type of internet videos similat to tcpmp and will work on any cooked rom? DOnt mind if it costs money as long as it works and is worth the money for my tilt. Thank you!
double check your internet settings...like disable proxy or enable proxy. The AT&T roms got this little thing with the proxys. not sure if its going to work. just a suggestion. and I believe core player has the youtube stuff built in. That player might work.
Try TCPMP recompiled:

Which TCPMP/Player works best with the Omnia i900. As you already know, I have two TCPMP/Players in the above link thread, the TCPMP 0.72RCI-ARM-PPC-recomp-03-cab.zip, this is the one that I believe works best with the Omnia i900. Install this player and the FlashVideoBundle.cab both to the main memory or both to your SD Card, soft reset your device. If that does not work, then try the TCPMP/Player version 0.81RC1 and the FlashVideoBundle.cab install both to the main memory or both to your SD Card, soft reset your device. We will get it to work.
I don't have my Omnia yet, because I don't know which carrier will be carrying it here in the USA. I'm hearing a lot of crazy stuff, like AT&T and Apple are about to go to war, if Mr. Sam Man Omnia i900 comes to AT&T USA. Now, I'm hearing T-Mobile USA will be carrying Mr. Sam Man's Samsung Omnia i900 later this year, named something else, but with the same features as the Samsung Omnia i900, when TMO breaks out it's new 3g network. So I really want you to get things up and running, before I purchase my Samsung Omnia i900. Another thing I found out is they are 3 version of the Samsung Omnia i900, the i900, i900V, and the i908. Mr. Sam Man is got it going on............!

As soon as I go to video 'direct draw' or some other driver - It crashes (exists the program) or crashes the whole device! [the screen slowly turns to black and fades in and out, so must shut down device - it is like frying my screen! I have the omnia i900. Can you you help me with a fix please?? please?

i900 built-in streaming player works on wi-fi connections
New Development! I just discovered that the omnia's built-in 'Streaming Player' will work on the mobile version of the youtube site! But only confirmed working on the wi-fi connection. What you do is you go to the mobile youtube site and click the video and it will automatically start in Streaming Player. Then once you are in the streaming player, hit on the bottom 'menu' then options and then 'connect via' - select "The Internet"!
I also installed the vtap thingy, but how do you actually watch direct feeds from other websites (not the just the content provided into vtap)? I need super idiot's instructions with attachments of the .cabs please!
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.

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
HTH

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!

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.

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.
