Wow...what a piece of crap! I have a Sprint Touch with latest official rom, and while getting Skyfire to work was no problem (installed it with the old version installed, didn't even ask me for a password), the actual performance of the new version was absolutely horrendous! When I tried changing the home area, I had to enter the zip code blindly, if it would even let me input anything! I'd click on that field and nothing would happen, then after a few more taps the old zip code was highlighted but no way to bring up a keyboard....of course the new home area didn't stay at all. Video playback was shoddy too...sometimes it worked, but it took a while to get it to work. They also took the "mute audio" option out of the menu. Sometimes I'd start it up and click on bookmarks and I would just see the circle thingy going around with nothing happening. After a while, it just showed an empty bookmark page. After a few more tries the bookmarks showed up finally. If anything the browser seemed slower as well. I went back to the old version.

ManuTouch,

I had all the exact same issues with my Titan running dcd 3.2.6

i just wish i was able to type. maybe we all just got non working versions? there is never a keyboard option for me to type with lol

[brownhornet]

looks like ill be sticking with the old one

whoever it was who was submiting tickets to skyfire, here is what i think this release needs:

the ablility to hear auido ALL the time

the old way of typing back, i didnt love it, but i didnt hate it

the ability to zoom the screen to ANY size, not just the "ratio" that they had before.

otherwise this is a great brower, and i would call it my perfect browser if it was able to do that ^_^

just downloaded the new vers. idigg the new look and especially like the sms sharing capability! one thing thats irritating is when i get certain messages on my screen the browser snaps back to the start page! so i have to refresh the link, which is tiresome. all and all though, skyfire is the best

when you visit youtube how do you get the videos to go into fullscreen mode?

[roopull]

You can still zoom in to *almost* any size. You just have to use the tool in the top bar to do it.

I liked the old way better, too.

i was using 4 browsers all at different times, for different reasons.

Opera Mobile, Opera Mini, IE, and Skyfire.

This new Skyfire has jus replaced them all and i can now finally uninstall them.
