Frequently Asked Questions

How do I install the Iris Browser for Windows Mobile 5/6?
Simply download the CAB file to your computer, transfer it to your phone via Bluetooth, ActiveSync, or memory card, and click on the CAB file in the File Manager.

Where can I download the Iris Browser for Windows CE or Qt?
The Iris Browser for Windows CE and Qt is only available to device manufacturers.

How do I disable all of these animations?
Using a registry editor for your phone, such as Mobile Registry Editor, set the key \\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\IrisBrowser\AnimationsEnabled to false.

What other hidden settings are available?
In the registry, you can set the following keys:
  • DesktopModeWidth
    an integer describing the width to simulate when in desktop mode
  • DesktopModeHeight
    an integer describing the height to simulate when in desktop mode
  • OverscrollEnabled
    true or false, used to prevent the page from scrolling past the edge and bouncing back
  • AnimationsEnabled
    true or false, used to enable or disable all animations in the browser
  • FitToWidthByDefault
    true or false, used to prevent the browser from automatically zooming the page to fit the width into the screen
  • GSensorEnabled
    true or false, used to prevent the browser from automatically rotating on HTC devices with a g-sensor
  • KeepAwakeEnabled
    true or false, used to prevent the browser from keeping the backlight on
  • FileMappingEnabled
    true or false, used to prevent the browser from using flash storage for temporary data (note: this is not the same as the web cache)
How do I make YouTube work?
YouTube's standard desktop version requires Flash 9 or above. This is not available for Windows Mobile. If you leave the browser in Mobile Mode (Page->View->Mobile Mode in the menu), you can visit YouTube and will be redirected to the mobile edition. If you happen to have the FlashLite 3 ActiveX control installed, Iris Browser will automatically use it and videos should work.

My AT&T/Sprint Fuze freezes.
This is a known issue specific to AT&T and Sprint Touch Pro and Diamond devices by HTC. We do not have a device that reproduces the issue in our offices, but we are working hard to come up with a solution.

How does zoom work?
There are two ways to zoom. Double-tapping the screen on a touchscreen device will attempt to zoom to the region of the page you are interested in. The algorithm is not perfect but will in most cases identify the proper region. Double tapping again will zoom back out to fit the entire page in the screen. Zoom can also be achieved by the menu (Page->Zoom) or key bindings.

Key bindings don't work on my Smartphone Edition device.
This is a known issue and will be improved in a future release. Not all devices work well with the key bindings at this time. There is a crude user interface for configuring key bindings but it will not work in all cases.

Does the Iris Browser use a proxy server for rendering?
No. Iris does not use any proxy servers for rendering or pre-processing. Everything is done directly on the device.
