anyone know any good browsers that work with SFF?
i can get the page up, but when i try and select the cinema by scrolling down, the whole screen scrolls
and not just the cinema selection box. !!!
i have a samsung galaxy s2 on android

thanks in advance

It took me quite some times but I finally found few weeks ago!
Opera is the only one that works as it automatically wraps the text!
So you basically end up with a very long and non scrollable form for the locations; you just have to scroll down the page ;)

I don't even know how to install a browser on my phone :oops: I'm not even sure what my current browser is unless it's the bit that says Android 2.2.2? (which apparently I also have to upgrade)

to install a browser you simply need to find it online and download it. Then it will appear as an application which you need to install. It should be simple enough to do. I did that when I had the Nokia N8. I used opera with that. And it was great. with this nokia lumia I can't download any other browser as it is a WINDOWS phone so I have to use windows. Means though I can scroll through the SFF list so not entirely unhappy about it.

I use safari on my iPhone and I manage ok with scrolling down on SFF.

It just takes a bit of practice. ;)

I can't find Safari for Android? I have tried everything, I know that Valda has the same phone as me and can work SFF, I have tried all sorts but just doesn't seem to work for me.

Edit : WooHoo!! Looking for different web browsers to try I noticed there was Opera Mini and Opera Mobile, I had installed Mini, just installed Mobile and it now works!!

I think Safari is just the Apple browser, so would not be available for non Apple products ;)

I use an iphone, and in the app store i looked for browsers free (just type that in the search bar) i found one called Mercury once installed you just go into settings and set it to be recognized as a desktop browser and not a mobile browser this allows you to use it as you would your desktop browser i have no problems booking with my mobile now ;)

not sure how the Samsung Galaxy android works but if like say apple or blackberry it has it's own app store then you should be able to find something xx Good Luck xx
