RWA App foir Android?

[PapaXpress]

What compatibly error are you referring to? I can view the forums just fine on my Galaxy Nexus.

Works fine on My HTC EVO as well. I post 90% of the time from my phone because its so much faster than using my laptop's.On a sidenote what browser are you using? I use Opera Mini and as I said I have no issues with video links pics or general site viewing.

I am using the default browser, and if I understand it correctly, was improved for ICS. It is still lacking a few things like spell checker, and when you place the cursor in a very wide text field (RWA exhibits this) it jumps around a bit. I have not tried any third party browsers yet, but if they correct these two issues I would consider it.

With Opera Mini it looks and acts just like your on a pc. I have spell check thats the real reason I post with my phone. Give it a try I will post the link. http://www.operamini.com/

Awesome using as we speak. Great job

I just tried it and I am sorry to report that it doesn't really offer a different experience from what I already have using the ICS browser. Now, if others are seeing differently on older versions of Android I would suspect that whatever your app is doing it is mimicking what ICS does (or maybe vs versa who knows?).

What I would really like to see, and I am fairly certain this has to be done by the phpBB team (creators of the forum software), is a mobile portal for the forums. If you look up my blog on a mobile device you will see how blogspot does it.

no no no.

That's not what I am asking for. The people who make phpBB would need to do this for Hawk and all of their other customers. I doubt this would be a simple MOD you could add to the server.

Actually... I just thought of a neat way to do it and it would affect the forums at all. Its still a large chunk of work but the gist is that Hawk would have to redirect mobile traffic to another instance of phpBB which would have "mobile" board style. What I am unsure about is if you can have two instances of phpBB access the same forum database.

Another alternative which I am unsure about is if a redirect could force a board style. If so then there would be no need for a second instance of phpBB.

Hawk doesn't want any changes to the forum,

That's not quite what I said, or at least what I meant to say.

What I meant was I won't make any changes to the forum that would compromise the security of it, and I just don't trust those new fangled cell phones.

Theoretically, the forum could detect the type of device and use a different stylesheet to display the site. I'm surprised phpbb doesn't have that already, come to think of it. Some sites to reroute you to a different url when on a mobile device.

EDIT: Actually, here it is... http://phpbb-mobile.com/ But it's still under development: "It is still under development, but it is in Release Candidate stage and we are currently just ironing out bugs, ready for our first official release."

Something to keep an eye on for sure.

Don.

If you dig a bit further you will see that this developer is working on v3.0 already. Looks nice on my phone.

Works good for me! Thanks for putting this together, saves me a few steps to get into the forums from my Droid.

OK, so Google just came out with the new Chrome for Android. It now gives me the spell checking I needed. If you try it just remember that its still beta (but its a good beta).
