Streaming audio - E71x Skyfire browser

I had to install the Skyfire browser in order to stream audio (mostly ESPN radio on college football gameday and NFL Sundays). (The provided Nokia browser wouldn't stream audio.) Skyfire works wonderfully for exactly 2-1/2 minutes and then something times out and the browser locks up. If I touch a key then the timeout doesn't occur and the lockup doesn't happen (until 2-1/2 minutes after the fresh tough). I contacted Skyfire and they said that they are aware of this problem with Nokia phones, but they didn't have a solution. They said some other customers had used a light management program successfully to prevent the timeout. I couldn't get the program to install on my E71x. Also, I couldn't find a timeout that was set to 2-1/2 minutes. The longest one in settings was 90 seconds.

 

So far I have not found a solution. I have to touch the keyboard of my phone ever 2 minutes or my browser locks and my audio stream ends. Is anybody familar with this problem and capable of helping to solve it?

I have exactly the same problem you describe on my E72-1 and I must say it is a real disappointment that this issue has not been resolved yet.

I contacted Nokia support and was told originally to reset my phone as a solution to the problem. I did the soft reset which reset all the settings on my phone, but I figure resetting the phone isn't the solution to the problem, so I refused to do the hard reset that they suggested when the soft reset didn't work. I was told that the issue was forwarded to the appropriate department. I have yet to hear anything further.
