Key Features of Skyfire 1.0

While performance has improved from the Beta version, here is some of what Skyfire 1.0 offers:

* Thumbnail interaction: Now you can click on links immediately after the page loads without having to zoom in. This enhancement is especially helpful for high resolution phones, and for familiar sites where you know right away where you want to click.
* Improved Zoom: Double-tap or double-click to zoom over any element, including links, images or videos. The zoom interaction is smoother and more responsive as well.
* Enhanced Navigation: When you navigate back or forward, you return to the last viewport (e.g. zoom level and portion of the page). Skyfire remembers even the viewport when you select a page from your history. You also have shortcut keys, (9) for forward and (7) for backward navigation.
* Fast start: Skyfire changed both the sequence and behavior of the browser launch so you get started as quickly as possible. You can type a search or URL in the Superbar while Skyfire is connecting in the background. Start up was noticeably faster with 1.0 than the Beta versions.
* Reconnect to last state: When you leave Skyfire in the background Skyfire will disconnect to preserve battery life. When you restore the browser it will reload the same page to the same zoom level and focus.
* Enhanced search results: Google results now include video, news articles, local results all blended on a single results page and ordered by relevance. Vertical search categories are still available.

Known issues with Skyfire 1.0 Final

Skyfire does have some known issues with this release which include:

* HTTP Authentication (e.g. the native browser dialog that asks for username and password when going to certain sites) is not supported.
* Text entry into Flash or Silverlight plug-ins is not supported.
* Skyfire does not support local storage mode for plug-ins. Thus the following will be affected: Netflix media player, Pandora media player, Rhapsody media player.

Re: Skyfire v09 is here for download
 

Very Nice find Scott... Im usually hesitant about upgradin apps as soon as they come out, once I have me setup the way I like.... but with the changes listed above, I am eager to make the switch...

Do you know if the new downloading capabilities will apply only to media files, or any downloadable content in general? Once that happens Im thinking I might make the full shift to Skyfire being my default.... but until then opera it is... Still with the other change and improments, this version of skyfire, looks to be a major contender (as if it wasnt already)...

Thanks again Bruh!

Re: Skyfire v09 is here for download
 

I've been flying through pages for about a half an hour now and there are most definately some very noticeable changes. All of them that i have encountered so far have been way way to the better side (as far as changes go). I've downloaded a few things here and there but haven't really tried to do everything to feel it out as download fullproof but it seems to be heading in that direction pretty rapidly. I'll keep you posted and let you know.

Re: Skyfire v09 is here for download
 

i'll tell you one positive aspect for sure though! THIS BROWSER FLIES THROUGH Wckediden IN A LOT OF WAYS THAT I'VE NEVER SEEN OPERA ABLE TO MATCH!!!

Re: Skyfire v09 is here for download
 

skyfire always loaded pages faster then opera ever did, the only thing better in opera is the screen rendering, and pages are very clear, where in skyfire seems kinda fuzzy in some sites...but all in all skyfire is my main browser

Re: Skyfire v09 is here for download
 

Second that! this is a huge improvment over ever version .85

Re: Skyfire v09 is here for download
 

still looks like crap on vga does does it?

Re: Skyfire v09 is here for download
 

You can tell that there are a very few amount of changes when it comes to resolution on the browser. Mainly with text that you are typing in, but that's about all they decided to tackle for the "clean look factor". So yeah, this is still their version of their so called "VGA"

Re: Skyfire v09 is here for download
 

looks slightly better, but alot of improvements on this new version...im happy with it

Re: Skyfire v09 is here for download
 

always good to see improvements. luv this browser for stuff others cant do.. flash etc..

Re: Skyfire v09 is here for download
 

D/\SH I think that you have really hit the nail on the head on one of your threads with a point you made. This thread hasn't barely even been up for two days and it has 70, yes 70 downloads.......how many installs? 4......And it really wasn't that long ago if you think about it that people were waiting on 10 week waiting lists to get to try out the version that was 6 versions ago. And now here it is the very day it was released. I'm not one to beat a dead horse but........

Re: Skyfire v09 is here for download
 

look at the guitar hero.... over 2000 downloads and not even 100 installs :< but hell there will be leechers and its worth still doing for the community since many still do appreciate it......

Re: Skyfire v09 is here for download
 

ok so I downloaded and installed this version of skyfire, wanted to "try it", and it installed fine, I even softreset, but all I get when I launch the thing is the skyfire screen saying "check flight mode............acquiring data connection" it never connects and does nothing else??? Is there something I'm missing here?

Re: Skyfire v09 is here for download
 

hmmm...i've never had a problem running skyfire....i would suggest making sure that you are in an area with a good signal...also try getting the cab directly from skyfire, it is still free and i believe you can choose your device. just go to

Re: Skyfire v09 is here for download
 

thanks alot, something was up with my data connection. it's fine now, and works great, after I fixed my param's again and changed the timer wheel size to 5 like noted in that other post!!! now yea, I'm off the hook fast! LOL

Re: Skyfire v09 is here for download
 

I wonder when there finally gonna get outta beta stage and make a final release.

Re: Skyfire v09 is here for download
 

should be soon and i have a feeling what they will do is get as many people using the beta and loving the beta as they can than set up the server registration like they did at first and start charging.... my guess would be 19.99 or so.... i feel they will do it by the end of the year or so.... im waiting for palringo to do the same since they have been in "beta" for the 2+ years that i have been using them.... (first signup crew for betas here)

Re: Skyfire v09 is here for download
 

Love this browser. hulu runs way smooth. hulu in the car awsome.:thumb:

Re: Skyfire v09 is here for download
 

anyone else getting "ip has been blocked" when using skyfire on this site(Wckediden). i can get on with opera but not sf...weird..tried it for about 3 or 4 days now and still no change..used to be able to get on?

Re: Skyfire v09 is here for download
 

i got that too when i tried to use SF for this site, no idea why so its up to the owners to clear that issue

i dont use skyfire anymore cuz i hate those bold large texts in forums and most reading pages, ruining the page (i have no idea why they killed the browser with that 'feature')

Re: Skyfire v09 is here for download
 

I keep getting that too...it is probably because skyfire uses a proxy browser or somethin to allow us to get the full website

Re: Skyfire v09 is here for download
 

some times it works and some times it dont but its well worth it

Re: Skyfire v09 is here for download
 

having a problem looking at web pages. mainly forums. it wont let me scroll all the way down a page...it just stops. any idea as to why its doing this? i checked all the settings(there werent much) and couldnt find anything. any help would be great

Re: Skyfire v09 is here for download

Re: Skyfire v0909333 is here for download [UPDATE APRIL 30 2009]
 

any word on whats different??

Re: Skyfire v0909333 is here for download [UPDATE APRIL 30 2009]
 

I think i got the update automatically over the air last night... seems to me the only real difference is the ability to customize your personal accounts home page to your liking, using their widgets/icons

Re: Skyfire v0909333 is here for download [UPDATE APRIL 30 2009]
 

Noticed all that not sure if just me but mine runs way smoother it loads like instantly too. But the update is great :yahoo:

Re: Skyfire v0909333 is here for download [UPDATE APRIL 30 2009]
 

Lol... placebo effect...its all in your head..lol

Re: Skyfire v0909333 is here for download [UPDATE APRIL 30 2009]
 

I went to Hulu to watch some Family Guy, but the sound wasn't working. Does anyone know anything bout that?

--------- New Post Merged on 9/5/2009 at 12:09:08 --------

Ok So I did a soft reset like what was presented in the other threads.... nothing happened.

However, this morning it was working. So I am not sure what was going on, but it seems to be working fine now.

Thanks for the update , gonna try this an post back.

Re: Skyfire 10 is out [UPDATE MAY 27 2009]
 

Great!! SF runs smoother than before and you can zoom in and out better now.

Re: Skyfire 10 Final is out [UPDATE MAY 27 2009]
 

I've got problems. it times out on a lot of pages with a 404 error and it's real slow to load most pages.

I'm running a custom 6.5 rom I cooked with build OS for a HTC Touch.

I'll give it a little while then try a hard reset.

Re: Skyfire 10 Final is out [UPDATE MAY 27 2009]
 

Had the same problem seemed worse than the older build for some reason.... maybe the servers were just under load... I'll give it another try later.

Re: Skyfire 10 Final is out [UPDATE MAY 27 2009]
 

its been working great for me so far. i'm really liking this new version. maybe its cuz i just got a touch pro yesterday!!!!! w00t w00t

Re: Skyfire 10 Final is out [UPDATE MAY 27 2009]
 

im running starrom 6.5 titanium and skyfire hasnt given me any 404 errors yet, works great so far

Re: Skyfire 10 Final is out [UPDATE MAY 27 2009]
 

in the sports bookmarks i only have espn but in the old one there were much more wuwt (what up with that) yo. i mean the one before this updated one.

Re: Skyfire 10 Final is out [UPDATE MAY 27 2009]
 

i've noticed that u only really get that error if u dont put the www. first

Re: Skyfire 10 Final is out [UPDATE MAY 27 2009]
 

that happens with opera on the PC as well, if you dont put www it says f*** you

Re: Skyfire 10 Final is out [UPDATE MAY 27 2009]
 

hahaha you should code out a browser and have it really say that :)

Re: Skyfire 10 Final is out [UPDATE MAY 27 2009]
 

Working fine now. I gave it a day and a soft reset.

Best browser 3var! The new zooming if clutch.

Re: Skyfire v10012113 [UPDATE JULY 1 2009]
 

newest version that's available is right here

Re: Skyfire v10012113 [UPDATE JULY 1 2009]
 

Hey guys. I seem to be running into a problem. Whenever I run SF10 I get low memory errors and SF crashes. I only have a few programs installed on my phone and I soft reset my phone. Using the WM6.1 rom from Alltel on my ppc6800.

Wht do u think?

Re: Skyfire v10012113 [UPDATE JULY 1 2009]
 

Hmm where did you install this on device or storage card?

Re: Skyfire v10012113 [UPDATE JULY 1 2009]
 

did you install to the storage card and not the main memory since that can cause the errors.... i would also look into going with a custom rom since the mogul lacks only one thing and thats memory.

Re: Skyfire v10012113 [UPDATE JULY 1 2009]
 

Well, I installed first on the device, then I installed on the storage card. You're right about the memory part....Seems like I always have to close something else (like phone, or Active synch) when I start skyfire or Alltel Navigation. when I do, it takes a really long time or just crashes my phone.

I've been wanting to try using custom roms but not sure which ones work the best. Any suggestions?

Re: Skyfire v10012113 [UPDATE JULY 1 2009]
 

What did it do when u installed it to the device ?And as far as roms look here at Kaos rom the best out there :

Re: Skyfire v10012113 [UPDATE JULY 1 2009]
 

Ok. Thanks for the tip! Well the same thing happens when installed on the device and the storage card. Ill open skyfire, and I get a message that Skyfire is out of memory, or "memory is critically low please select an item to close'.

Sometimes it works right after a soft reset, but after i've used other programs, it won't work at all.
