I installed the application. When I try to run, it says no Sim found, I have my sim installed and can make calls, I have HTC Aria CM6.1.x experimental. Why should that browser need a sim card.
Thanks
Has anyone tried this with positive results?
Its ok. Can't turn off hepatic feedback!! Major downer. Its slightly slower than opera.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
It loads the pages WAY too big for the htc dream screen... iv tried every option in the settings to fix this but they did nothing.... non of the options work... at least its not another peice of **** stock browser recompile like dolphin.. ect
Looks Nice and Sounds nice, I'm using a HTC incredible, and every time I try to run it it say's no SIM found, also the haptic feedback is annoying. sounds promising though, thanks for the Beta.
Works fine on my hd mini, with one problem though, if i leave the device alone for a while so that it locks itself while uzard running on horizontal view...everything freezes and requires a soft reset. Device getting locked with vertical view works perfectly fine ... any ideas guys?
no SIM found using htc evo
No unfortunately it works on x10 Experia. but after you start is always on the homepage .... : (
Pretty good so far. Works with a Bing Maps GPS tracker where no other browsers would. Needs to be able to register as a browser when clicking links outside the app (i.e. link in Gmail)

Streaming video

Hi I just wanted to contribute an edited tutorial to those who are interested in video streaming to their phone from a home server. I didn't see a proper one listed on any of the droid development forums so as an epic user I just wanted to help.
I have pieced together a tutorial to get hi-quality Video Streaming to your Android phone over Wi-Fi or 3G. For those of you using Orb Mycast for years, like I have, have noticed that the quality is unbearable and down right atrocious until I rediscovered Tversity again.
Here are some items you will need:
1: Tversity installed on PC where media is stored
2: rockplayer app installed on Android phone from market
Its the only player for Android that picks up on most video files without having to download the file all the way.
Optional: Setup your PC for Static IP and Port Fowarding if you want to stream via 3G if away from home. Go to PortForward.com - Port Forwarding Guides Listed by Manufacturer and Model for detailed tutorials on how to set this up.
Setting Up Tversity For Streaming
I will not go into detail about setting Tversity on your PC such as configuring the libraries and such but I will go over settings that need to be in place for this to work.
Under Settings in the Transcoder section, make sure under "When To Transcode" make sure its set to never. The reason behind this is I havent figured a way for Android to pickup on the stream without waiting for it to fully transcode.
Next under General Settings, under Home Network, make sure you plug in your PC's IP address so that way your phone has access to your video files.
For this part, you would have had to setup your PC for a static IP instead of being a random IP that is given when your PC gets turned on each time. If you got to PortForward.com - Port Forwarding Guides Listed by Manufacturer and Model for detail tutorials on setting up a static IP.
Optional:Under General Settings in the Home Network Section, there is an option for "the media server should accept requests......" which will let you access your media over 3G on your phone. To set this up, after you check mark that you want access, go ahead and setup a username and password to let you login from outside your network.
As before, you need your PC setup as a static IP but also you have setup your home router to Port Forward requests from Port 41952 to your PC's Static IP. Go to PortForward.com - Port Forwarding Guides Listed by Manufacturer and Model for instructions on how to setup port forwarding.
Install A Android Media Player That Will Pickup On Progressive MP4
So far the only media player that works for this so far is the "rockPlayer" that you can download for free off the market.
If anybody has found a better player that works for this solution, please let me know so I can test it out.
Last But Not Least, Lets Stream A Video To Our Phone!!
For Home Wi-Fi Streaming Only
Open your web browser in your Android Phone, input your PC's Static IP such as "192.168.1.XXX:41952/lib"(Replaced the XXX's with Your IP address that you previously setup), from here, you will be navigated to Tversity's mobile WAP GUI. Navigate from here where you setup your video files in your library to appear. After that, select your video file and if all is setup correctly, then either you will get a popup saying with default player would you like to use or it will go straight to rockPlayer and start playing the movie.
For Streaming Over 3G or Another High-Speed Wi-Fi Connection
The only difference here that we are going to do is navigate our Android Browser to your home's IP Address which can be found easily if you go to What's My IP Address? Networking Tools & More from your home PC. For example it will look like this, 98.246.64.55:41952/lib to access Tversity away from home.
WARNING: Streaming from outside your network will take a long time for your movies to buffer to RockPlayer. It has taken well over 2 minutes for the movie to play sometimes over 3G. Thats why we try to get the movie as small as possible to stream faster over 3G.
All and all, thats about it. This should get you up and running on streaming to Hi-Quality video files to your Android phone wherever you are at. I will update this tutorial with any helpful updates I get from the community on what works better or my own discoveries as time goes on.
You can also use something like http://www.dyndns.com/ to associate your home IP with something like myawesomecomp.dyndns.org
It's handy for VNC, and other things as well, and can update when your IP changes.
Ah thank you that seems like a very considerable option especially since it helps with your Private IP changing which can be a bit of a hassle at times lol.
Thanks I love to hear from others and help with giving the users more options in this particular video streaming solution.
I use the CIFS module posted on here by someone along with CIFSManager to just mount windows shares on my phone when I am at home, and I can stream 720p mkv files flawlessly using the stock media player or any media player I want. Works with any video or audio or anything else you want to mess around with.

Is the CIFS module accessible from a network away from home such as your 3g/4g network?

cd's or tapes?
Thank you
Well for cds or tapes tversity allows you to access whatever folders you set in your directoy in the program.
For audio though I highly reccomend audiogalaxy, its easy to set up and I have access to all 50gb of my music at all times.
Let's put our data plans to the maximum use right?
Thanks for the post. I hope transcoding is supported at some point by one of the players so I can stream mkv files to devices that don't support it like my Xoom.
Hmmmm! Nice....
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Yeah unfortunately tversity does not support transcoding .mkv files yet, I would also like this feature as a lot of anime I have is in this format.
I do however know of a lot of users who use "GOTsent" to convert to mp4 format, I use other software though however and its not as timely as it would seem.
A good solution until such transcoding is supported.
With tversity you can go into settings to allow access from internet not just the lan. Which I don't think requires the need to find ip address and enter it into the browser. You set up a password and or the devices mac address. I have used tversity for years it is high quality and very easy to use.

(Tip) How to use your Android as an IP camera

Okay so i saw a lot of you had this question i had. I went looking around and i found this app called IP Webcam. It lets you stream video and audio from your phone to another source without any other software! Right on your browser. It is the absolute best and its completely free. It is design to run on windows but i tried to on my Mac OS lion and it works great. I tested it over Wi-Fi using Safari and it worked good. I was not able to hear audio but i think it was because i used safari but here you guys go. It can connect over Wi-Fi and even 3g and other services.
*I only tested Wi-Fi
http://lifehacker.com/5650095/ip-webcam-turns-your-android-phone-into-a-remote-camera
*Simple Instructions
1. Go to Android Market and download IP Webcam
2. Open it up and scroll to the bottom where it says start server
3. Click how do i connect and choose your option and it will give you the URL
4. Type that url into your browser and you should be good
let's try it!

[APP][2.2+] Photo Share Web Server | 1.0

Photo Share Web Server turns your portable device to a http server allowing you to share your photos wirelessly to any browser (ex. Firefox, Chrome, Internet Explorer ...), also giving you the ability to download the photos without the hassle of using your USB cable. Simply press the "Power" button to start the server, and type the URL address given by the app. The website is wrapped around a very attractive gallery allowing the user to simply browse the contents. Note while this app does allow to be used on 3G, not all carriers support this. So it's recommended to use WIFI.
Note: To keep this app free I have implemented Ads and an Ad Icon which can be freely removed.
Features:
*Can be accessed from any browser.
*Clicking on the photo will give you Full Resolution.
*Full screen browsing experience.
*Attractive slideshow gallery.

IP Camera Viewer similar to TinyCam Pro

Have recently picked up the S3 and looking for a workable IP cam viewer. I have tried the Tizen IP CamViewer for S2/S3 but cannot get it to display, even though I have successfully tested the URL with user ID/PW & video path.
Are there any alternative viewer available?
