I cannot get skyfire to work to save my life. It says connecting, then checking firewall, then connecting again, I am connected to the internet though. Any solutions?

You may want to post some useful information like your phone model, ROM etc...

I just checked and I can get on without problem. Was it working before for you? Did you just recently install it? Have you recently installed anything else?

Skyfire's servers ocassionally are over loaded...so keep checking throughout the day to see if you can get through.

I use cricket on a vogue, and I am running NFSFANS Rom. Any ideas?

Sometimes my skyfire won't load/authenticate when I have semi poor reception in my office building. I usually have to exit and start up skyfire a couple time for it to successfully authenticate. Not sure how spotty your reception is though.

I was told skyfire wont work through Cricket...because it uses a proxy.

Contact Cricket or visit the Skyfire website and read through their forums.

There's a couple of other great options.
Check out WVD which has a bunch of sites(and pron too):

And there is a new version of tcpmp that works for me to play all kinds of flash videos.Check it out here:
