opera mini/mobile ? - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General

is it possible to use either opera mini/mobile or both using just wifi. i have searched the web and xda and found nothing that involves this topic.

connect to a wifi router and launch the browser, bingo!

Unfortunately that doesn't work. There is issues with Opera Mini and wifi. Or maybe the issue is connecting Jbed with the wifi connection ...
Does anyone know the resolution?

Try different java engines. Last time I ran Opera Mini, I believe I was on Schap's rom. I don't have a data plan so all I had was wifi. I actually like Opera Mini more than Opera Mobile. Mini had a more intelligent zoom while Opera Mobile will show the entire page, then you need to open a context menu to select the zoom in functionality.
It would be nice to have a browser that will zoom with gestures.

I run Esmertec Jbed with Opera Mini (latest version, don't remember which one exactly) just fine exclusively over WiFi. Didn't really have to do anything special to get it working. The only added thing was to run a Mortscript for creating shortcut that starts Opera automatically.

Web Browsers

Just wondering what people are using to browse the web (other than the default browser) ?
I've tried Opera Mobile but it seems to play around with some of the text on the input area and screen (odd).
hi, had the same problem with opera. browsing seems fine in terms of speed but the language is distorted. i read the support page of opera, though it supports windows mobile 5.0 they said if you can't find your mobile phone in the support list then it's not compatible. they're suggesting opera mini instead but i haven't tried it yet.
currently im using netfront v3.3 which is so far the most stable for my atom. and browsing is so fast unlike PIE (sucks!). you should try mini-mozilla too.
for opera got funny character in input text. just copy the font arial.ttf from your pc window to atom /windows directory. and soft reset.
What do you know ... copying the font over work .... thanks Mazam.
Just out of interest, how does Opera compare to the others (Netfront etc.), are there really any major differences ?
No, don't use Opera. It's writen in Java and have good support for smartphone. Too bad. It's not really for PDA.
You can try Minimo - Firefox for PPC. Here: http://www.mozilla.org/projects/minimo/
One of the Minimo's good side is it show web pages with java script perfectly. Unlike Opera. Maybe Minimo load slower Opera little bit but it good enough for me.

what do you mean opera is java platform.. that is opera mini, what i'm using is opera for mobiles...
u can go here http://www.opera.com/products/mobile/products/winmobileppc/
Opera mini 8.5 is bar none the best browser, especially when used with the 'fit to screen' option. After using it, netfront, pie, and all the others feel 'broken'.

Jme applications --> opera mini

i've installed the java apps from the cabs from the xplode's.. some how, after succeeded to install opera mini and open the internet, it just stopped, it says error and suddenly the gprs connection also stopped.
feel dissapointed, I just close the opera mini using x button. but it doesn't close the program.
dissapointed, finally using the memaid apps to close it, no luck, it still work in the process view, try to terminate it, no luck, damn it.. then quickly hit the reset button.
guys, any suggestion?
does it anything to do with the opera mini? (its compatibility?)
you can try difrend midlet manager search the forums for one, i remember i have seen a topic somwhere about opera mini
I've found the apps, esmertec j2me, at other forum.. The problem still occured. I assume that opera mini is not compatible with those java emulators. Do you have link to apps which compresses the web page so that we can save memory (and also the bill )

opera mini
Opera mini works great on my BA running Xplodes midlet setup. I am running opera mini 4 beta 2 just for the record, I couldnt get the first beta of mini 4 to run, But I have no problem with beta 2 at all.. Great browser as well...
figure it out!
it seems that the network connection plays important role on this. (when using not stable gprs connection, the opera mini keeps trying to connect to the web, but since there is no/weak gprs signal, it just stops working.) when trying to terminate the appl, BA read it is still trying to connect to the gprs, then it wont stopped... however, softreset fixed it..
if i upgrade my radio version to 1.15 (currently 1.12), does it improve the signal's reception?

Web Browsers For WIZARD

I Just Flashed a new ROM to my wizard (TNT 19213) and decided to investigate getting a new web browser to replace internet explorer. Does anyone recommend one over another? Also, how do you load them onto your wizard?
You could try Minimo. It's a mobile browser based on Mozilla.
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/minimo/
They have an exe install you run from your pc or a cab install you can copy to your phone to install from.
opera mini.
Opera mini, no doubt about it
Access NetFront Browser is free, and works similar to the much lauded SkyFire browser (also awesome, but in a closed beta test cycle that seems to be never-ending). The thing that sets these apart from the remaining browsers is that they are full-feature browsers, that show the internet as it would look on your desktop. In my opinion, Skyfire is superior at rendering sites true to their appearance on desktop browsers. NF browser is a little behind, and has a hard time substituting fonts, for example. There are both advantages and disadvantages to both browsers, as with anything. The main disadvantage to both of these is that you either need a wifi connection, or an unlimited data plan, or you're going to rack up a bill quickly, downloading full web sites.
For mobile browsers, there's Mozilla's Minimo, which is nice, and opera mini, which seems to be favored on this bulletin board site, and Microsoft-backed Zumobi (also in beta testing), all of which have nice features, but won't be the "best" for everyone. Keep in mind they are all mobile browsers, which means things like flash, javascript, and other web 2.0 features might not display properly, or might not work at all. All are much easier on the data plan than the full browsers mentioned above, but that means degraded websites only. Frankly, I just use the IE browser when I'm away from a hot-spot. I'm just more selective about what I surf to...
One last thing I almost forgot: All these browsers are free, but there is a pay-for version of Opera that is supposed to be superior to Mini. Opera Mini also requires the use of the MIDlet Manager or some other Java Emulator, making single-click launching much more complicated than necessary.
tried minimo but also like opera mini best,
you will need some java support for running it on your wizard.
i am using esmertecs.
someone on the developement and hacking made a cab instalation of the new opera mini browser that installs java emulator + opera mini and works best. has a dirrect shortcut in the programs folder and loads web pages extremely quickly over gprs.
I havent tried any of the "betas" floating around. Opera mobile is awesome too, but loads pages slower. works best with wifi.

Thats exactly what I was looking for because the cab files are much easier to deal with, do you know where I can download this program?

Anyone using Opera Mini ?

I've just installed Opera Mini on my Jade and I have to say, it's pretty nice.
Unlike Opera Mobile it is very fast and the zooming and display is better for a small screen like the 320x240 Jade screen.
Since the websites and images will be compressed by the Opera servers, the traffic is lower and the speed higher. Of course, I won't use the browser for sensible data, because the data runs through Opera proxies. But for normal browsing it's great.
The only problem: I can't switch to fullscreen, because the fullscreen can only be enabled by a key combination which I don't have on my Jade. Maybe someone knows how to fix this.
But it's still a nice browser.
Yes agree, I must say the speed is pretty impressive compared with the Op Mob even by setting graphics to high. btw is is there any method to launch it direct without launching jBlend first ? Am I missing something ? Cheers.
Here is a very useful overview of the features the most popular JVMs have.
As for the direct shortcut, my jade came with esmertec jbed, here is a description how to invoke opera mini (or any other midlet) directly from windows.
The problem is there's no description how to do that with jblend (why don't you use the preinstalled jbed, anyway?)
Mine is pre installed with JBlend. I've found the direct shortcut command i.e. \Windows\JBlend_AMS.exe -R 0.jar (0 is where your Opera Mini is in \windows\java, depending on your other installations.)
Thanks.
azahidi, would you highly recommend using opera mini or the stock opera browser?
Hi !
Yes Opera Mini is Very Fast ! That Good but i have the solution for your problem !
When you are on Opera Mini go to :
Setting => Full screen
that very simple but i don't know if you want that or an other "full screen"
Bye

For me the same: I find it important that the browser is fully integrated in the operating system (Windows mobile). Opera mini as a java-applet only has limited connections to the other functions of the phone (example: direct dial of telephone-numbers listed on web pages).

Talking about java-applet. How many of you are using Jblend? I tried today installing those 3D games that supposedly work with Jblend..but failed miserably in doing so...need help!
There is only a java version now, no PPC version. I don't like java programs.

facebook problem opera 9.7 - THIS IS NOT A REPOST!

Hello folks.. this is not another FB related thread...
i can access the full facebook website with my opera 9.7, the thing is that the site doesn't display properly! i am unable to see the wall! i have javascript active, plugins enabled and fixoperaflash 1.5.5.20 working properly with ieactivex.dll registred, but with no success.
I am able to view it properly on Internet explorer though... so it's opera related... don't know whats wrong! youtube works perfectly for instance, and the thing is that it worked before but i was installing some opera builds, and trying to add flash and then it got broken, and i was never able to view it again, no matter what i do.
tried:
-deleting user profile
-reinstalling opera
-installing other version
-view all possible configs
nothing.. suggestions appreciated!
i can see that i am doomed... DAMN!

I know this may sound crazy but disable java script in opera 9.7.
I too have found various websites not working with the java in opera 9.7 so its now disabled and much mch better.
Websites now load superfast on hd2 without advertising and commercial crap...java is ****..
