Arbiter works on the droid!!
 

Arbiter works on the droid!! It does not work with the default browser however it does work with Opera, a free browser that you can find at the app store on the Droid. I hope that this helps others out there.

Help others?
 

What's a Droid?

Is that one of them electronic calender thingies or one of those extras in Star Wars? ;)

Great! Now if I could only get Opera to work. SAK, you running 2.1 update?

Yes, but does it have full functionality?

The $600,000 question.......eagerly awaiting the answer.

Are you kidding? Oprah is probably the hardest working person in show business.

Oh wait, you said "Opera". Never mind.

SAK:

It had to be complete serendipity that you started this thread. Mark, Jr. (MTD, Jr.) and his younger brother, Andy, both bought Droids last month. The umpires association to which Junior and I belong use Arbiter and he discovered that he cannot access Arbiter from his Droid. I will give this information to him about using Opera. Thanks for the information.

MTD, Sr.

Opera is the way to go. I have it on my Blackberry and the Arbiter works well on there as well.

Arbiter works acceptably on my BB, giving me info I need in a pinch. I wouldn't say it works well, though.

Which BlackBerry model?

I am running 2.1. The update hit my phone this am.

When accessing arbiter on the droid using Opera Mini I find that I am able to access everything that I need to access. I have updated my blocks, viewed my schedule and even changed the assignors group. I do find it easier to use the 4 way joystick rather than using the touch screen when using opera as the android OS has yet to incorporate the pinch zoom. Also if you don't log out, arbiter will keep you logged in. I do find that it is easier to allow the droid to remember your user name and password for arbiter and then bookmark the main page that shows up after you sign on as if you are like me and work for more than 3 assigners you will have to sign out and back in to see the assigners as the quick change view only allows you to see the first 3 assignors.

I think that it works well but only time will tell as it is new to me too.

You mean Rosie O'Donnell? Oh wait - you said lady.

I have the BlackBerry Tour 9630, and last week I used Bolt! Browser to accept two baseball games on Arbiter since I was away from a computer for a while. It was a little clunky but got the job done. I haven't tried to access it since then though.

Thanks SAK. Reinstalled Opera last night after getting the 2.1 upgrade. Arbiter appears to be fully functional and using the 4-way mouse on the slide out keyboard was the trick to navigate the site.

Curve, but I'm pretty sure you can download Opera on any BB.

I have it on my Storm, but the functionality is weak.

Well I got a Droid Incredible a couple of weeks ago to replace my Blackberry, and the difference in the phones is amazing. I now know what you guys were talking about when you said that the Arbiter doesn't work on the Droid browser. Were you guys not able to log in at all? That's the problem I'm having. I guess I'll download Opera for the Arbiter, even though the Droid's browser is good enough for everything else.

Thanks to whomever it was who suggested the Opera browser for a Blackberry. Neither the standard browser, nor the Bolt browser would allow me (BB Curve 8130i) to go beyond the schedule page of Arbiter. And while it's true that it isn't exactly the quickest way to get around the program, at least all the functions of Arbiter seem to work so that I can at least block dates or accept games while away from my laptop.
Not exactly a sacramental offering--I still have to work to get around in the program :D --it's at least a start until Arbiter comes through on its promise to have an "App" available by late summer.

This week, a full version (10.1) of the Opera browser was released for the Android market. Although it's still in beta testing (it is a little quirky), it appears to have the functionality needed so that accessing Arbiter is much improved over the earlier, mini version.

I wonder what summer they were talking about? :(

Arbiter works just peachy on Iphone, and has been a big help a few times.

Works very well with Opera...sucks on Safari.

What issues are you having with Safari? Arbiter seems to work fine for me with it.

I'm not sure if it was the 2.2 Android update or what, but the Arbiter has been working fine on both the Incredible and the Droid X for quite a while now on the stock Android browser. It also works on Opera and the Dolphin HD browser as well.

My experience with arbiter on opera was of the "better than nothing" variety. Very limited functionality and a big pain to work. Maybe it's better on something other than the BB Storm.

I have the Samsung Captivate which I got about two weeks ago when switching my plan to a full data plan with AT&T. I contacted Arbiter Sports and they told me it won't work on many browsers on Android phones, but have noticed a lot of people commenting on using Opera Mini on Android Phones. They are working on a mobile version of their website to allow officials to accept games while away from their computer. I accepted a few games this last week using my computer while I was away from home. Does work decently enough to get the job done. I hope they come out with a mobile version of it soon though. They anticipate it to be done by the end of the year, knock on wood.
