UCWeb 6.1 beta
 

Greetings. Has anyone else tried the java version of UCWeb 6.1 beta? I've been using it all day, it's pretty nice. It's alot like opera mini, but not as polished. There's lots of options to customize it, and from what i've seen, i think it's a little faster than opera mini. I included the .jar file which will open and install with java, i'm using esmertec jbed. It worked for me, so if anyone does try it, let me know what you think. I'm liking that you can copy and paste with it, and also open a new tab. Pretty cool. Hope somebody at least tries it. Oh yeah, this is a wm 5/6 touch screen device version. works awesome on my sprint mogul. dschoenike

thanks for the headsup

Never saw it before, trying it now. so far it seems to work good, only been messing with it for a second though, will test more and reply later

Re: UCWeb 6.1 beta

Thanks T M Z

Re: UCWeb 6.1 beta
 

Your welcome. Im really liking this browser. The only thing i wish it had, was the ability to view pages in desktop view, instead of the mobile rendering. Maybe there is a way to change the view, but i havent figured it out yet. dschoenike

pretty nice, lacking in some aspects but i like the speed! thanks!

Re: UCWeb 6.1 beta
 

all i get is download failed. is it still available?

Re: UCWeb 6.1 beta
 

Yeah, its available still. I'm not sure why your getting the download failed error. Did the jar file try to download within java? I've only tried it with esmertec jbed, so i'm not sure it'll work with other java software. It should though, i would think. dschoenike

Re: UCWeb 6.1 beta
 

I downloaded it and actually like it better than Opera Mini. It seems to work OK on the Touch. On the Mogul, the bottom menus don't seem to appear..

Re: UCWeb 6.1 beta
 

I belive there's an option to hide the menu bars. I know at one point i had the "hide menu" box checked accidentally. I musta clicked it while messing around with all the different options. I'm actually liking parts of this browser more than opera mini also. Can't wait to see what the final version is like. dschoenike

Re: UCWeb 6.1 beta
 

me to . Im posting from it right now . is working pretty sweet . the only thing I can't find is how to set the time ? I looked insettings can't find it ... Thanks T M Z

Re: UCWeb 6.1 beta
 

opps, double post. sorry :(

Re: UCWeb 6.1 beta
 

If you go to settings/system then click on menu softkey on the right, and go to advanced settings, the time zone options are in there. Im finding that changing it doesnt always stick though. dschoenike

Re: UCWeb 6.1 beta
 

i love this i think this is better than opera

Re: UCWeb 6.1 beta
 

That's really weird. It's like we have 2 different versions. I wonder if i posted a different jar file than the one i downloaded. I had downloaded 2 different files because there was 2 listed for wm 5/6 touch screen devices. Darn, i'm sorry about that. i attached a screenshot showing my version of timezone options.

Re: UCWeb 6.1 beta
 

I don't have that at all..

Can you post the website so I can dl it from there .

Thanks T M Z

Here you go T. My apologies for posting the wrong version. Well maybe not wrong :) but different than the one i've been talking about. At the very bottom of the link you'll see 2 jar files listed for touch screen devices. Im pretty sure i'm using the first one. Geeze my memory is shot. :(

Re: UCWeb 6.1 beta
 

Thanks..

P.S. I just dl this one to , you don't need a jbed.

I put it on my storage card. and it works great to..

Thanks T M Z

Re: UCWeb 6.1 beta
 

Really, you got that one working? I had tried it Tuesday, and just couldn't get it to connect to the internet. It just kept saying "connecting to server" or something like that. I installed the jbed version and havent tried the other again.

Re: UCWeb 6.1 beta
 

i like the java one better

Re: UCWeb 6.1 beta
 

did you try changing your settings to have it be a web browser vs wap browser?

Re: UCWeb 6.1 beta
 

i have the settings for web browser. Have you gotten it to show desktop view? Im thinkin it may not be possible. Hope im wrong though

Re: UCWeb 6.1 beta
 

First of all, I am using the exe-type version (versus java), and I have no problem using the "desktop" view. Simply go to "Menu," "Settings," "Browse Mode," and select "Zoom Mode."

Next, I REALLY like this browser. It may not have as manny bells and whistles as Opera or it's Java-based brother, but it is smokin' fast. Pages load like lighhtning, and startup seems a snap. I've always hated the slow initial startup of Opera Mobile and Skyfire.

My one pet peeve is that I cannot set my own start page (unless I am missing something). I must go to a bookmark of my (iGoogle) preferred start page from the UCweb start page.
