That workaround to make skyfire your default browser will make skyfire launch when you try and click on a link from an email or text message. Only problem is when Skyfire launches it goes through the login process which I think messes things up and just opens up to the default main page for skyfire. It won't go directly to the link. Now I don't know if the newer version of skyfire works with links. I haven't tried it yet since I saw so much negative feedback for it.

So I had to change things back to the way they were. I'm thinking of trying this other hack that I had seen posted by someone at XDA who ended up making a shortcut to skyfire on the internet tab page right above or under the shortcut to the youtube app shortcut.

I gotta find it.

Skyfire will open a link correctly now as long as the server happens to be working that day.

I know what you mean. I'm an alpha tester for SkyFire's pre-beta builds. I've had no luck with external links when clicking links out of e-mails when Skyfire is the default nor by searching specific URL's from within the Today plugin.

The YouTube app that comes with Update19 works great, but only if I use the "fast download" option. The High quality version of the videos download just fine....although it takes longer to buffer them, but when the playback starts, the video seems to run in slow motion and can't keep up with the sound at all.

I guess our devices are too slow for the High Quality Video? I have a Sprint Touch with the stock Touch 6.1 rom from Sprint.

it-s on the 3rd post. addin a link. Unfortunately, U cannot open skyfire on a certain webpage coz they require authentication and they have their own start page.
