Neowin Forums get a Mobile skin


Recommended Posts

Just a few notes:

1. The login screen needs some work.

2. Wider quick reply box please.

3. Pages are wider than the screen (I can horizontal scroll)

4. Few display glitches here and there.

By the way did I mention I love this new mobile version? However is there a link I can bookmark that takes me to new posts all the time?

Not sure if you saw the previous replies but Timan is re-doing the iPhone skin :)

The current skin is a temp fix as without it iPhone users wouldn't be able to use the mobile forums at all but a lot of the staff are iPhone users and clearly the members are too so it's high priority and as Timan has said he hopes to have it done over the weekend but no promises ;)

If only such a thing were easy to do with PHPBB3.. /sigh

Looks amazing btw guys, but you might wana drop the width of the tables down by about 5 pixels on the iPhone version, looks dodgy when you scroll sideways

Whoops.. didnt read that first

Again S60 3rd phones should be top prority.

Wow what an ass****. You dont get to demand anything, just because you have a S60 phone doesnt mean they should drop everything else they are doing just to make you happy, until you start contributing to the site by donating then maybe just maybe you might be able to REQUEST it for your phone.

There should be a emulator there included.

http://marketshare.hitslink.com/report.aspx?qprid=10 reflects market share correctly and as such Nokia phones aren't a priority. Priorities are iPhone and Windows Mobile. Have you tired the site on your S60 phone?

I expect demand a Symbian S60 3rd version made; Please remember that the iPhone is a little bit over a year old and Symbian has been here for a VERY long time; Again a Symbian version should be made before the iPhone version; Symbian has alot more marketshare than iPhone.

Thanks and great addition to the site :)

What exactly is wrong with the current mobile version on Symbian?

It looks fine to me, screenshots taken on my N95.

Great work guys, I can read the forums on the go now! :)

If you need anything testing on Symbian let me know as I?m sure someone posted you didn?t have a Symbian phone to test on.

If you have any idea what fonts those phones have, I could apply one that matches Tahoma/Verdana. That seems to be the reason some things are displaying out of whack. But for the most part it looks usable. Could use some slight tweaks, but would need to find a way to test it.

From looking in the font?s folder on the N95 I found:

Nokia Hindi S60 Regular (OpenType)

Nokia Hindi S60 Semibold (OpenType)

Nokia Hindi TitleSmBd S60 (OpenType)

Series 60 ZDigi (TrueType)

Ive uploaded the fonts here.

I?m not sure if the web browser uses these fonts but they were the only ones I could find on the phone, is there a script or something that might tell me?

I own a Hiptop; has a standard browser and the new mobile skin fails to work on it.

Compatibility would be appreciated, I thought it would be good to also add that the mobile skin of the news side of Neowin (Main, Software, Gamers) works fine on the Hiptop.

It's market share based on internet usage, silly!

But again....if a product has sold ALOT more than another product, wouldn't its market share be similar/the same/more?

Its common logic.

well i do understand your patriotism but just because you and some others are using s60 phones doesnt mean you need to "demand" anything here. seriously, take what you get, afterall its free and someone spend a whole lot of time there on developing it for US, for FREE, for OUR convenience...

please pay some respect and dont sht around because there is no s60 version YET...

i mean... come on...

Its not "me and some others" its the majority. What ****es me off the most, is that ONE year old phone gets more attention than a whole platform that has been here for years. You are free to make a iPhone version, but you must also make a Symbian version.

Wow what an ass****. You dont get to demand anything, just because you have a S60 phone doesnt mean they should drop everything else they are doing just to make you happy, until you start contributing to the site by donating then maybe just maybe you might be able to REQUEST it for your phone.

Again, me and thousands of others; The Symbian platform is the most used

http://marketshare.hitslink.com/report.aspx?qprid=10 reflects market share correctly and as such Nokia phones aren't a priority. Priorities are iPhone and Windows Mobile. Have you tired the site on your S60 phone?

Again I do not believe that site for the fact that the PS3 is used more than the Wii (hell even the Xbox 360 isnt on there which has been out for years)

I wasnt saying it looked wrong, I was simply stating that if a iPhone version is made, a Symbian version must be made as well...

Timan thank you very very very much for understanding my conc:)n :)

InsaneNutter posted the fonts and I hope you can make a Symbian version soon. Thank you for understand:)g :)

    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know The ONLY thing I need to know is the price, which I know will be way higher than I (and most people) are willing to pay for a phone... so basically nothing here I need to know. PS: Nice job getting that Apple reference to a non-existent and unrevealed product as "competition" in there. Cheque is in the mail.
    • Well I really think the repasting helped if your higher clocks have returned, maybe the next thing to look at is if there is a problem with your case airflow? I guess this because your 3080 has returned to optimal state, but is still staying too warm, which might suggest it was thermal throttling before you repasted, of which the only logical conclusion could be outside factors.
    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know by Hamid Ganji Galaxy Z Fold 7 - Image via Samsung The next generation of Samsung foldables is set to be unveiled next month at the second Unpacked event of the year. Samsung’s 2026 foldables are not expected to offer significant upgrades over their predecessors, with the Korean firm instead focusing on design refinements and conventional upgrades such as faster processors and better cameras. However, Samsung is reportedly planning to unveil an all-new passport-style foldable this year to rival Apple’s first foldable iPhone, which is expected to debut this September. Here’s a roundup of everything we know about Samsung’s upcoming foldable devices ahead of their official debut. When can we expect Samsung’s new foldables? The Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 series were unveiled in July, and Samsung is expected to maintain this timeframe in 2026. Based on previous reports from Korean sources, Samsung will hold its Unpacked event on July 22 in London, UK, to pull back the curtain on the Galaxy Z Fold 8 series. The devices are also expected to hit the shelves a few weeks after launch. However, Samsung has yet to announce an official date. A new naming scheme? One of the most interesting changes we might see this year is a new naming scheme for Samsung’s latest foldables. SamMobile reported that since Samsung is expected to unveil three foldables this year, it has adopted a new naming strategy to simplify product identification for customers. Accordingly, the standard Galaxy Z Fold 8 will reportedly be called the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and will serve as the direct successor to last year’s Galaxy Z Fold 7. The “Ultra” suffix suggests the phone could feature higher-end specifications, such as additional rear camera modules. Samsung’s new passport-style foldable is expected to carry the Galaxy Z Fold 8 name without any suffix. This model is reportedly equipped with two rear cameras. No major changes are expected for the Flip model. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 anticipated specs Rumors over the past few months suggest Samsung is preparing several upgrades for its upcoming foldables, although the devices may continue to rely on larger batteries and faster charging speeds rather than dramatic design changes. The primary focus this year is expected to be the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and its wide-screen design. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra official CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines Here are the anticipated specifications for the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra based on previous leaks: 6.5-inch outer display and 8-inch inner display, 120Hz refresh rate, and 2,600 nits peak brightness Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, paired with 12GB or 16GB of RAM and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB of storage 4.1mm thickness when unfolded and a weight of 210g 200MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, 10MP or 12MP telephoto camera, 10MP cover camera, and 10MP selfie camera 5,000mAh battery with 45W wired charging Android 17 and One UI 9 As for the Galaxy Z Flip 8, the device is not expected to be a major departure from its predecessor, although it could become slightly slimmer. Expected specifications include: Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 or Exynos 2600 processor 12GB of RAM with 256GB and 512GB storage options 6.9-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X inner dispaly and 4.1-inch Super AMOLED outer dispaly 50MP main camera, 12MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera 4,300mAh battery with 25W wired charging Android 17 and One UI 9 Samsung’s foldables are also expected to launch with Gemini Intelligence, Google’s AI suite for automating tasks in Android ecosystem. Moreover, given current memory and component costs, some Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 variants could see a price hike. Galaxy Z Fold 8 adopts a wide-screen design The centerpiece of the upcoming Unpacked event could be the Galaxy Z Fold 8, previously rumored as the Galaxy Z Fold Wide. This model adopts a passport-style form factor and is expected to compete directly with Apple’s iPhone Fold. Galaxy Z Fold 8 official CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines Here’s what to expect: 7.6-inch primary OLED display and 5.4-inch cover display, 120Hz refresh rate, 2,600 nits peak brightness, and 4:3 aspect ratio Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, 12GB or 16GB of RAM, and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB storage options 4,800mAh battery with 45W wired charging 50MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera Android 17 and One UI 9 The three new foldable phones are unlikely to be the only devices unveiled at Samsung’s Unpacked event. The company is also expected to introduce the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 and the Galaxy Watch 9 series.
