Everybody talk to me about Skyfire being one of the best, or, the best browser atm but I used to use it before it became that "good" and now it's 3.0, i downloaded it and everytime i try to launch it, it forces closes, I can't go further than accepting the conditions and even if I don't touch anything it'll force close..
I don't understand why and I've tried to uninstall it and reinstall it but nothing makes it work.
Do anybody know what would be the cause ?
Don't know works like a charm on my X10i <3
And you're running a normal 2.1 rom ?
Yes 2.1 Generic Nordic
It's really annoying... I'm on Rogers 2.1 and everything is working fine except this stupid Skyfire that won't stop force closing without any reason..
Mine too same problem. Uninstalled now. Was working fine first but suddenly force close issue started.
Now use dolphin hd. I global generic 2.1 rooted

I think i'm gonna reflash my phone and see what's going on..

Then I'm gonna see to try some other versions of Skyfire before reflashing my phone
EDIT : I just looked at the the App which is on the market in the comments and it seems as you said since the Update a lot of users are experiencing an increase of Force Close and some have the same problem as me which is not possible to use it since in the first 5 seconds i launch it it'll force close.

Well 4 comments out of 5 says it's a lot slower, laggy, the Facebook Integration ruins it, it force close more than usual and the analisys of page seems to take more time.
I'm just saying what I read as I never had the opportunity to test it (I actually did but it was a while ago before it became interesting)
try installing back the stock browser, I had problems only when I removed it

Well i don't know if it's related because before I saw your message I was already reflashing my phone with the custom 2.1 Rom and now it's working perfectly !
But it's possible that you're right because I deleted the stock browser on my old rom.
Yeah Skyfire doesnt work without Stock Browser. I deleted SD Card Data from Skyfire and upgraded from 2.3.3 or 2 to 3.0 and its fine.

im also getting a force close message
Are you sure it is the Beta and not the Alpha, which is reported to only work if your IMEI is tied to the app itself, thus making it so the alpha testers couldn't leak it.
Tried this on my Eris.. It opens up just fine. But it doesn't connect to any sites D:
I just installed it like a normal app. It seems slow, doesn't have any form of flash (should have never expected that) no pinch to zoom, not even double tap. It's not exactly worth the time - I will just stick with the default Desire browser. I see why it was such a closed beta, normal people would not enjoy this browsing experience.

Ok guys I know I posted this before but I want to see if anyone is experiencing the same problem as I am. When I was running 2.1 Eclair on my captivate stock, the browser never lagged. It was very smooth in scrolling and never "hitched or stuttered" when scrolling pages. After I updated to Froyo(I'm with Rogers) via kies it seems that the Brower lags a whole lot more. I used to go to ESPN to check my fantasy team on the desktop site with no problems, and now sometimes its fine but most of the time there is lots of lag... I'm very frustrated with this because you would think that your phone will get faster after upgrading the OS but apparently not... I've heard about that whole memory leak problem with Froyo, is that the problem most likely, and will they update? Thoughts....
PS: I used to have a Sony Xperia X10 running 1.6 and the browser had no problems whatsoever... It's really a shame that the Captivate is subpar to a 1.6 device...
May want to check if enable plug-ins is set to always on. If it is you can change it to on demand or off. This controls the flash plug in, if you don't care about flash content at all I would just set it to off.
I've turned it off, on, on demand, it doesn't seem to make much of a difference... It only really helps if there is some pesky add in the background using flash.

Then I am not sure. I haven't noticed any browser lag at all unless I was on a flash heavy site.
I suggest trying Dolphin Browsers. It is amazing and quite fast. Must faster than stock
Opera mobile ( not mini) is really the fastest browser ive used.
opera mobile.. I'll give that a shot I guess.

This is a working skype video chat for the HTC EVO 4G
I installed this on five different Evo's and can confirm this app works! It might not work on 2.2 roms, but I've tried it on 4 different 2.3.3 roms (Fresh, Kingdom, Synergy, Philly Finest) give it a shot and don't forget to hit thanks if I've helped you!
If for some some reason you get phrasing error try downloading from a different browser, or try downloading from a computer and not your mobile device, but it should install without problems. If you have skype installed already please uninstall first!
There's two options for getting this app download here http://www.megaupload.com/?d=7UA987T6
ZIP
They have released an offical version in the in the android market, its version number is 2.1.0.46, I will keep the original link up for those who want it.
Works great... just flashed on virus kingdom rom... and no complaints... thank you
just wanted to ask if all the problems that existed with the old skype still exist with this version?? mainly the battery drainage battery and the app not closing out like it should.
very nice ty ty
1+ Thanks here!

Well for all my video chat apps like, qik, tango, fringo, and skype, I go to running apps and kill the process, do this if your app will not close, I have never had to but that should close the app, now remember that you can also configure the settings with-in the app itself too. Optional= make sure in skype setting that close immediately is checked, uncheck skype status in notification settings, and probally uncheck sign in automatically.
Havn't used skype in a while. Has anyone tried this on android 2.3.4 (evo-deck rom)

I am on CM7 Nightly 141, and I can get video of them, and we can talk to each other, but they cannot see me. I tried both front/back cameras and got nothing.
It's Android 2.3.4. I'm running SZ CFS SBC enabled kernel.
Not working for me. I see my video come up when i call someone but as soon as they answer the video shuts off.
Edit: it works. Had to update my skype on my computer.
just tried using this on CM7 7.0.3.1 and I was able to see the person clearly...but my cam was blank...I couldnt see myself and they couldnt see me either....any suggestions?

Im not sure why it's not working, try clearing the app data, uninstall, reboot phone then install app again, I only tested it on the four roms listed in the the op, I havent used cm7 in a few months now, I've been switching between virus and synergy! Try the uninstall method first, if that doesnt work then try flashing a sense 2.3.3 rom!
I found a thread on the CM forums that linked me to a working version. I will post the .apk tomorrow if anyone wants it.

Hopefully that link works. I'm currently running CM7 Nightly 143 (I believe it's 143), and I was video chatting with a friend with no issues for about an hour. Didn't notice any crazy barry drop either. Using RAM optimization script and the SZ CFS Kernel. Let me know how that works for you.

Getting a parse error. Should I be able to just install it from the file manager, or do I need to install it some other way?
It should install normally with a file manager. Let me get off my ass and upload it to Mediafire. Lol It may have been a bad upload.

Chrome for Android is out, and sure enough...
https://market.android.com/details?...=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5hbmRyb2lkLmNocm9tZSJd
But when you try to install it, it says the Xperia Play isn't compatible. Does anyone know what specs are needed for Chrome?
It needs ICS software, have the apk if want. there is some issues with it anyway.
I should've guessed they'd save Chrome for ICS... Looks pretty cool from the vid preview though.
Who wants to place bets on how quickly this gets hacked to work on every Android device under the sun?
...my bet's on "Quicker than Silk"
anyone else try on gingerbread ROM ?? ,
maybe i'll try soon on GB ROM
I tried it on cm9, it installs but it does not load pages abd switching between tabs also does not work. But does not look much better than stock ics browser anyway...

I have had this for some time, dont remember where I got it from. But it supposedly works on GB. To be honest I dont remember if its true but here you go for those interested.
Edit: I just reinstalled it. And what it is is the old browser called Miren Browser, no longer available for whatever reason. I actually used this browser a lot before it vanished and I have since moved on to Dolphin. So the below attachment is just a themed Miren Browser... at least it looks that way to me unless Google Chrome replaced Miren... Anyways sorry yall at least for now test it out as Miren was a great browser.
