Hi guys, done a search so don't think this has been asked before. Has anyone managed to get facebook places working reliably on the hd2? From my initial hunting around I've been trying various html5 enabled browsers with intermittent success. Any advice appreciated.

I'm sure I've read they have to support HTML5, so anybody know which ones do. HTML5 is very new and AFAIK there is no browser for WM with full HTML5 support, there may be some betas with partial support, they would need the geolocation part of HTML5 to be implemented. I'm about to try Iris now
maybe this'll help some of you (PM by Xenton; thanks!):
I couldn't post this as I'm new here and it has links so here ya go:
Right been at this most of the day now, the most promising course of action would be to google gears which adds geolocation functions to browsers. It only works with very specific browsers though, one being Opera Mobile 9.51 (Presto build 2.1.0+) it's available via Opera's FTP site at ftp://ftp.opera.com/pub/opera/winmobile/951b2 download "opera_v9.5beta2_gears.cab" and install launch the browser then goto gears.google.com and click install. It will prompt you to reboot your phone. Now relaunch the browser and navigate to touch.facebook.com try to use places, you should get a warning that your location information is being accessed via gears, click okay and you should be good to go.
I got as far as a suggested list of places for my location but nothing on the screen would respond.

It's been a while since I was trying to get this to working and I gave up, so this information may not be up to date but there were no apps that worked with places, the touch.facebook website did but needed a browser with HTML 5 support, I tried many browsers, finally a combination of browser and addon that should of worked but didn't. I think I'm correct in saying android and iPhone have browsers that work nicely wptg the Facebook touch site but WinMo has neither a browse nor an app that works wptg places. I did give up on this a while bin now, and would love for someone to tell me I'm wrong...
......EDIT: It works!!! I installed 4.1 from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6392459&postcount=2 (this is the page the download app button on their facebook page links to) and it prompted me to update to the latest version and then, places was working, just like that amazing, I'm well pleased. Also had a play with the latest better, kept freezing and crashing but it looks very promising, an awesome app!
yeah i was using it for places but now when i go to places it locks up
It's still working for me, try uninstalling and they reinstalling, that might fix it, it is a beta still and is not rock solid stability wise yet.

I did a search and found no thread on this.
I am looking for a Hermes portable Firefox browser. I miss the tab function when browsing with the standard IE. Any ideas.
Hi there!
As far as I know, there is no mobile Firefox browser. However, for tabbed browsing you could try SPB Pocket Plus with IE. There is also a mobile version of Opera, which I enjoy very much: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=401643

Yes there is a mobile firefox for WM devices
It is Here: http://www.mozilla.org/projects/minimo/
I used it a few times, and I am going to install it again tonight as it has google maps built in as well

That project is old and discontinued. Check out Mozilla's latest efforts here:

regarding MiniMo - agreed... you'll hate it... I also tried BlueFish from Micro$oft - even suckier. Looking forward to trying skyfire... Unfortunately, for the moment, Opera is your best option...
I hated it.
I didn't see you post, so I went ahead and installed it.
Its slooooow, hangs, bad graphics (splashed all over).
I will remove it today.

This seems like a work in progress, maybe by August there will be something usable.
Thanks
I have both Opera Mini and Mobile versions currently installed on my Hermes. I personally find Mini to be significantly quicker (loading/page rendering, etc).
Sorry...
Yeah, I installed it again... Yeah it sucks. Well, there is always something else on the horizon for us to try.
This minimo guy refuses to be removed any heads up on that.

All you have to do is go to the Firefox mobile site and when you SEARCH for thebl keyword FLASH the first thing that comes up is a page stating that Firefox for tablets DOES NOT support Flash, although the beta version does but just for phones. Amazing the info I found with a 30 second search and read
Sent from my cm_tenderloin using Tapatalk 2
i looked and only found different versions to download, handy if u know where to look. in my job i do things for people who dont know where to look; and its sometimes not as straightforward as the first thing you see in the first 30 sec of looking. so i take it theres no workarounds and no magic touchpad exceptions ... thanks for the info and help tho.

Try ICS Browser+. I'm sure the Mozilla bunch will come up with a fix eventually.
Don't mind the previous poster, he gets off on putting people down. Ask away here, that's what the general and q/a sections are for.
firefox nightly already has support for flash
also some of the aurora builds back in march had it too {if i remember correctly they introduced the flash fix)
I'm not entirely sure this is only a Nexus 10 problem ... But I noticed yesterday that links have stopped working on some sites in chrome and boat browsers. The Guardian website for example. The link highlights on touch but does not open the relevant page. The only way I can get it to work is to long-press the link, then open the link from the popup menu.
This only seems to be a problem on the desktop version of a site, and is not happening in Firefox.
Can someone try this out to see of they have the same issue?
Thanks in advance

I love to read Charles Authur's completely biased one way thinking..an apple-nazi if ever there was one..
I have been searching for a solution, but its not so easy to analyse their HTML from my tablet..
when I boot up my PC I'll have a good look at their html to see why it's causing the problem in chrome
I do notice that the first time I go there the first link will work.
have you found any other sites where the links don't work?

Seems to be working again now.
I just got my Meizu MX4 and find several things which irritate me, was wondering if I can make suggestions for updates somewhere? Here are a few examples:
How do I get temp in C, with Display Language US English?
NearBy took an entire day to finally figure out where I live, although location is turned on and I tried to show it where I am.
Still new, more to follow if this is the place.

As far as I know there is a bug report for this and the developers are working on it. Let's see if the next update fixes the issue.
Thank you for the response Nikwen,
The weather app is automatically the Weather Channel, the only setting possible is location on or off. I had expected it to be there.
I'll keep my eye open for the fix to my other comment and also for additional things to talk about. I'm essentially very satisfied with the user experience and am certain that once apps and scopes begin showing up in numbers Ubuntu will be a viable alternative to the others on the market.
I assume I can continue to bring up problems I find here.
Thanks again

Found the next thing, although it's probably known. In camera I can't zoom. The zoom - + show, but nothing happens.
So, I found that I can change the weather app to celsius, but it doesn't work in the weather channel and it's what's used in NearBy with F.
I also found that the Amazon app goes automatically to Amazon.co.uk, but I live in Germany, I want .de, but how?
Next, I browsed Google.com, it sent me to Google.de, what else? I didn't want that, but it's impossible to get to complete English. The Google page is English, but when I touch settings, I land in a German page.
Those are my newest grumps, I'll keep looking.
TY for listening!

WiFi hotspot would also be nice, though I understand the OS is new and time will bring new features.

It should be out in September or maybe later this month if we're lucky !
TY antole, that's welcome info. This morning I got an update, since then I get no notifications from gmail. Is that normal or do I need to make a setting? Another thing, Near By has disappeared, so I no longer see F not certain if that's good or bad atm.
I'm just enjoying playing with my new toy and thank all devs for the hard work amnd for putting up with my problems.
O
I haven't even tried the Gmail app sorry
My Gmail account is configured with Dekko
I didn't get any update this morning, was the update for the Gmail app ?
I've been running on OTA-5 for approximately two weeks now and I've had no issue with The Weather Channel displaying temperature in C but I live in France so that seems normal
My NearBy scope hasn't gone anywhere either ;p

The update was for Nexus devices only as the messaging issue they fixed didn't appear on other devices.
Back with more! Sorry to say I was overwelmed by the amount of work needed on OT and didn't want to sound like I was putting it down, so I stopped writing. Most are small, wish I could this or that. I found one today though which I had to ask about.
I tried to upload files to my P today, win7 couldn't do it so I tried Ubuntu desktop, 14.04 which couldn't mount my phone. Uh oh, what now? I can't find a setting anywhere which helps. Any advice would be appreciated.
Oh and the update I assume was somethsomething to get my new phone up to the current version. I must have removed Near By by accident, I have it back now, still in F. Must be the language, custom I live in germany but us us english.
Ty for the help!
O
If you cannot mount your phone, you can always enable ssh and use sftp to transfer files. Usual mounting should work though.
(If it still doesn't, you could try installing ADB on your computer. It might help.)
Thanks for your help Nik,
I figured it out, I needed to get into Developer Mode in order to get USB to work. Now I'm in, but have the next problem. I can only see the Home directories, but I want to download the files in the .local/share but I have no idea how to get there. On my MX4 I've gotten to the folder I want using File Manager, but how do I get there from my PC? Or more specifically, how do I download the files stored there?
O
Yeah, hotspot is here! Haven't had time to test it yet, but I love to watch UT develop.
Still hoping for a tip on getting to my files from a PC. I understand it's a kinda noobish question, but until now I've only fixed problems as they arrise in Ubuntu, haven't had time for it. Now I've started and don't know where to search for help.
And the potshot works great. Saw Cantata Nil, looks interesting, but having a problem finding servers, or do I have to set up my own server?
Thanx

Stupid auto correct, I meant hotspot and Nik.
I've finally found AskUbuntu, so I'm working on finding my own answers.

hello,
am on miui 11.0.5.0 global and was able to remove the stock mi browser(v10.....etc).
am trying to install an older version of mi browser that had better features than newer versions , it installs but keeps closing everytime i open it!
is there any workaround to make it work?
I know I'm not answering your question.
But why exactly do you prefer to use a browser filled with ads and junk?

Poco launcher gives you a neat way of hiding those bits of xiaomi scurf that you can't uninstall - why not just do that and browse with Iron or something better?

Regardless of ads or not, why do you still insist on using a inferior browser when there are so many others out there that do a better job.

i already mentioned the cause above!......the old version am talking about has a certain feature that isnt working anymore in new versions!.
All you mention is "the feature I'm looking for" or the "cause I'm looking for"
There's no direct mention or explanation of what you're looking for. Maybe more people will help you if you choose to explain a bit more rather than shut down every comment that's trying to help you.

the reason for posting this topic is to get help regarding running an older version of miui browser that installs but closes everytime i open in oreo/pie/q ......it runs fine on other android phones on nougat!!.
specifying the feature thats working on this old browser and not working on recent versions wont help coz poeple who "try to help" would simply recommend using other newer versions or even different browsers!!
if i wanted to shut comments ....i would have simply ignored any replies without a direct solution!!.
Okay, so you know how it works in the software world. Nobody codes everything from scratch. What we do is build upon the work of others to get what we want. Your previous browser would have been built with various libraries that it hooks into to provide different functionality. Now a new one has come out which was installed on your fone and this is using later versions of the libraries and possibly some APIs may have been dropped. So you're trying to use the old browser with the new libraries and it's entirely possible that the APIs/ABIs it needs are no longer available. So you're SOL. You're going to have to run your browser in debug mode to see what's wrong. I hope it works out for you.
