Hey all. I'm new to the forum and have been looking at all the stickies and wiki on the phone but I'm still looking for some good applications. I just got my 8525. Its a great phone but i was disappointed to find that it doesnt have a full HTML web browser. Its a feature I was spoiled with when I had my Nokia N80.
Is there an application at there that will support the full webpages. I've tried opera mini and opera mobile with no luck. I've also upgraded to WM6 in hopes of it but nothing.
Any help?
And what other applications do you recommend? I tried loading a few but with no success. I'm mainly looking for games, full web browser and a really good multimedia player.
piscel is the best its a samsung app
Picsel Browser has a nice interface, but it does take a little while to load, and does have some problems with certain websites.
Recently Opera Mini 4 was released and it is small, loads fast, and displays pages quite well. Check it out here:

Just use it through your MIDlet Manager.
opera mobile is pretty nice and not java like mini
it's not free though
I'm getting ready to load thunderhawk from bitstream..will let you know..

Best Browser
Opera Mini is probably the easiest to use that i have tried out. Does anyone know if i signed up for Skyfire for my shadow, will i have to sign up again and wait again since i use a touch dual?
I use opera 9.51beta1 and I think is awesome.
Almost everything works great, pages looks EXACTLY like on PC, even with very complicated AJAX interface.
Bank accounts works very good too - I can make money transfers that must be confirmed with sms-code
and the most powerful tool - downloads from rapidshare with no problems
Opera 9.5 here and I will never go back.
Ever.
Without a doubt: Opera mobile 9.5 beta1. Opera mini is good, but only for device who can't handle Opera mobile9.5 beta 1.
just a little question... how do you get opera mini working on port 80/443 only data plan? i can´t get it to connect
opera mini is now my favourite browser best app ever handles pages so fast!!
Just saw it from opera. Administrator pls delete if someone already post it. (i searched and it is no)

the link above doesn't work.
I'm very disapointed... Check out how it formats the pages, looks like crap compared to 9.5... I've tried many sites and they all look so much better in 9.5. I was really hoping they would have fixed this since the 9.7 beta...
The UI feels nothing new since I've been using Opera Mini 5 since it was released... This looks very much the same...
still no flash support.
support QVGA?

I think we have to wait for adobe to release the full flash 10.1 for mobiles...
works well in elfin thanks
Doesn´t work on my Touch HD. It starts, but then it stopps saying on the top bar Opera Mobile 10 beta and i can´t press any button and no page is coming up. Thought it would make some autoconfiguration for the first time, but even after 5 minutes nothing happens. Ok it´s stil beta, but shouldn´t it at least start?
It's work fine on my hd!
At the first time you must start it from start menu, so it complete the setup process with the aknowledgement, after you can use from internet tab!
Someone use landscape mode, i didn't find it...
Bookmarks ?
Hello,
how can i import older Bookmark in Opera 10 ?
Rename the opera6.adr in anyone else or something?

Sorry for my bad english...
Damn no flash support still up till now
Oh I thought they have flash support this time. but otherwise they have done a good job.
Am I the only one who thinks the official 9.7 beta was better???
It used the accelerometer on my Diamond and had really cool animation effects when tilting the device into landscape and other stuff....
Is there a way to enable accelerometer in Opera 10???
Also is this version not opengl accelerated like 9.7 was, besides the new "improved" UI I think this version is a step back from 9.7.
I don`t know some peoples already say about the new Opera 10 its nothing more than all other versions but i don`t think so.
1st when i install on my HD this beta i saw its much more faster than the 9.7 or 9.5 Also the view of the pages is much more better and clear and all the menus of the opera are just fast and awsome.
On the same time i just test for how long will load a page.
For example i choice a random page and i use Opera 9.5 then use Opera 10 for the same page in the same internet connection and i can say that this 10 BETA is minimum 3 times faster than the old Opera.
The Only bad things is that still not have a full Flash support but soon this will be fixed and then we will have a awsome fast beauty Browser for our devices
Maybe depends from ROM`s or....
If this matter im with NRG ROM from the signature.
I really don't like the single touch zooming, how annoying is that everytime I click a link it zoomes in and I have to zoom out again...
don't know if this is a good development, it is defenately quick, but it lacks in quite a few things.

Compare it to Opera mobile 9.5 and you will see that 9.5 shows the pages exactly as they look on the PC in overview mode... Opera 10 makes the sites look bad since it wraps the columns in overview before you've zoomed in. I can't stand using this browser until they've fixed this issue.
The turbo mode on 10 is a lot slower than the turbo mode in opera mini 5 beta. Very disappointed, as most times I don't care for perfect rendering...just want to be able to read what I want to read quickly.
I'll continue to use mini as my main browser, as it also uses a lot less memory. 10 is nice if I need to do some "real" web browsing though.
Is anyone else missing Opera link, it was great for Mini, but still not on 9.5-9.7-10, saw somewhere that it was not included on 9.7 as it was a beta, but if all they release is beta's then its never gonna happen (
...
Any way, how to set Zoom more then 200%? Google reader text quite small on my Diamond.
Hi, Where does opera 10 install itself. I would really like to try it out but i do not want it to touch any of my opera 9.5 files in any way.
Hi guys is there any alternative to IE for the Rose ?
I used opera for my old HTC TyTN II and the touch interface was fantastic is there a version of opera available for free for the Rose ? Or is there a better browser ?
Best?
Hard to define that. For most intents and purposes, Opera Mini 5 Beta works and is my most used browser. However, if you want to load any site which contains any amount of heavy lifting via Javascript you'd be best to look elsewhere.
My secondary browser is usually IE for mobile optimised (but not designed for iPhone) sites.
And thirdly, the next third party browser I have installed and don't really mind too much (however is no discontinued) is Torch Mobile Iris Browser (v.1.1.9). If you look around hard enough, you may still be able to find a copy of it hosted somewhere.
Skyfire works great, and can also use flash-sites like youtube

And redtube and youporn
What I do is use the default browser for looking up info quickly, like football scores etc and then use SkyFire if you want something that does a bit more.

The best browser HTC S740 are:
1-SkyFire (<--this is rhe best for replace IE)
2-Opera Mini (java)
3-Opera Mobile (only buy)
bye bye
Its annoying when you visit the web and it takes you to the mobile site. Both Opera and IE I have disabled mobile site viewing and it didnt do anything. Everything is still mobile.
Are there any other browsers? This is annoying...
There is Skyfire available in the Marketplace, or uZard. There's also Opera 10 available from m.opera.com
Opera 10 looks really nice, I love it. But it still has the same issue of displaying websites in mobile regardless of the settings.
On my ipod touch, the browser can be configured to trick the website into thinking its a firefox 3 system. Is there anyway this can be achieved on the WM?
Are there any definite browsers which allow for full viewing? With all this estate for the screen, I I'd like to make the most of it.

I've tried dorothy and Uzard..
Generally Netfront isn't bad. The problem is it suffers from some strange out of memory error on certain pages. It's strange because in earlier versions (back in 2007/2008) this wasn't the case. But I think its worth a try nonetheless.
anyone know of any more? this can't be it
Hm I think that's it. I mean if you count them you will realise that you have the choice out of 6 different browsers. That's not really bad for a platform like Windows Mobile which isn't supported anymore.
Oh wait, we forgot opera mini. That would mean 7.

For Windows Mobile probably never. Development has more or less stopped since it's a dead os. Maybe for Windows Phone 7.
i wish they would put out an update for wm 6.5 -> 7
And I wish they would dispose of WP7 and restart to develop Windows Mobile.
amen to that one

Microsoft won't ever go back
Windows mobile was very open as far as what you could run on it, making it difficult to lock it down like android, wp7 or ios.
These companies are interested in making people have to buy all software to run on the device from their store
That's why I wont get WP7. I mean I hate google but in the end android is the only os for smartphones that is at least open to some extent.
Q: New Problem with Opera 9.7 Accessing m.facebook.com
Opera 9.7 was included in the ROM that I'm currently using and has worked fine with everything, except for the mobile Facebook site (m.facebook.com) within the last 2 weeks (FB must be changing things again ).
It will not allow me to access anything except to update my own status. Clicking on any link to view comments, photos, etc. (whether they're friends or my own) results in an error message saying that the page is not accessible at the moment or I do not have the proper permissions. Is there another version of Opera that will work?
Internet Explorer works OK, but the font in the already small comments box is so freakin' tiny, it makes having to use it a total PITA. I've been using FIM v2.8 for mostly everything, but viewing photos on it is difficult (since the photo size is un-scalable) and I can't copy/paste with FIM.
Any help with a browser replacement (Opera upgrade?), that will make the mobile FB site usable for me again, will be greatly appreciated! [I despise the official FB application and avoid it like the plague. There's no chance they will ever improve it for Windows Mobile, anyway.]
EDIT: Downloaded Opera Mini 5 and Opera 10; decided to try Mini 1st... What an improvement! The FB mobile site now works as it should.
Haven't tried 10 yet, but didn't I read something somewhere that people found that the zoom bar no longer works in that version? I may give it a go at some point, but for right now, I'm happy with Mini 5!
Thanks everyone!
Debbie
Why don't you try the final release of Opera 10? Opera 9.7 is really outdated. OK, 10 is old too but it's as recent as it gets on WM.
