For me the Skyfire Browser does not start - only shows half of the screen and then stuck.
would appreciate a cure for Skyfire as well, as the flash light plug-in for Opera does not work for me

Its not VGA compatible yet.

skyfire stays in full screen on my diamond as long as i dont open and close the keyboad, or use enter when inputting a url, use the arrow next to the url bar and it works fine

Indeed, the current Skyfire beta is currently not VGA compatible.
Read it on their own site (at the bottom): http://www.skyfire.com/about/beta

Opera Mini question

ive heard of some people using opera mini. did you guys just download the one straight from opera website? or where?
its much faster right?
id like to get it if it is..

go to www.mini.opera.com in internet explorer and it will do the rest After install It will not show up on programlist. Its javabased i think so it will show up when you press "E" javabutton

I have a problem with opera mini:
after few minutes that I use the program when I try to open a link it stops to work the screens goes blank and I must quit program, has anyother the same problem?

Opera...which freaking version?

Ok, I hope I dont get ripped into for this..but I couldnt find the answer.
I always found the web browsing experience pretty woeful on my X1...esp compared to the ifone. When you scroll up/down its juddery, giving me the two grey squares until it catches up on itself. Its really bad. I have installed various versions of Opera...the one I have stuck with is the version i found on this forum...when zooming you use an invisible scroll top right on the screen (does that make sense?)
Anyhoo, I then installed the superb Touch-it4.5...the version of opera in it is truely awesome! The juddering was gone, silky smooth and had a zoom button bottom left which worked even better than the version I was using...but...the hardware keyboard didnt work (I noticed a few other people had the same issue and the fix was to install another version). When going back, its all juddery again...did anybody get a fix for that version? What version does everybody else use as there are so many floating about.
Also, a little of topic but I was reading about a version of Opera (only on the symbian os so far?) that when you are presented with a bunch of buttons or text boxes (say for example a login/pass box) you simply click on them and it enlarges the boxs to full screen automatically and makes it alot easier to put in usernames/passes etc.
Thanks in advance folks, maybe once we get a complete fool proof guide we could stick the findings into the x1 tweaks, apps and panels thread!

Unfortunately the working and non-working items are all within the Opera9.exe itself:
1. Vibration
2. Scroll with optical pad
3. Zoom with volume buttons
4. HW keyboard interaction.
5. PushInternet support
So there's very little chance of a "perfect" Opera version. I use 15991 with Zoom enabled on a PI enabled ROM or 15696 on a non-PI ROM.
You could try and switch on "Smooth Scrolling" in opera:config and see if that helps with the judderiness...

You should wait for 9.7 to be released

I had the exact same issue.
I downloaded Opera 9.5 BETA and it works a charm. The UI is slightly different (colours) to the one installed with 4.5 Touch-IT ROM but it works perfectly for me.
The only issue is that I have to launch it as a seperate program from my start menu. I cannot seem to make it my default browser (I have no idea how to do that!) and how to get the Internet tab "launch browser" to launch Opera 9.5 and not the standard Opera.
Also if you run the standard Opera installed with 4.5 Touch-IT ROM, close it and then try to run Opera 9.5 BETA, it only loads the standard Opera, not 9.5.
I have to turn my phone off and back on to solve this and start using 9.5 from my start menu.
Long winded but its how I cope..

Opera 9.5 b2 with Gears
I use the gears version now.
I had so many problems with logging into sites with the version that ships with the phone that I gave up. The stock version only plays lip-service to being able to use flash anyway so I don't feel I'm losing out.
Also, the caching and navigation to previous pages is way faster in the gears version of the browser. Occasionally it slows down and thinks about things for a little while, and it forcing back to the default keyboard every time you try to enter stuff into a text-box, but its a beta after all so what do you expect?!
Obviously the gears version doesn't have flash support but I can't say I've missed that, since the stock version wasn't that hot anyway ;o)

If you paste the Opera9.exe, OperaL.exe and setup.dll files in to \Windows Manila will launch whatever version is there - for the second point II think the Manila files need ameding - haven't loooked yet though.

opera

well maybe a stupid question but i cant find the answer anywhere.
when i go to certain websites it redirects me to the mobile version of the website.
my touch diamond never redirected me.
it seems like the tp2 is identifying itself as a mobile device instead of a normal computer.
is there any way to change this?

I don't realy remember but in SKtools (or Advanced config) there is an option how IE identifies the device, anyway it is registry option

type "opera:config" to the address bar and open
then change the "User Agent" to a normal browser like IE, you can search for the "IE UA String" using Google
for example:"compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 6.1"

i tried it but it keeps sending me to the mobile version of the websites.
i deleted the cookies and the history, changed it to "2" restarted my tp2 but still no difference.
i wonder if its possible at all....

Welcome to the forum
Strange issue....
Have you tried go to settings-advanced and select recognize as PC instead as handheld?
It´s working for me
Have a look here so you can choose the best Opera version for you:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=486502

I noticed that if you use the search hole on the Touch Flo web tab it will send you to google which in turn sends you to google re-formatted mobile versions of web pages. If you look at the bottom of the page there is a link to view the full page.

opera 10
Well if you use the opera that comes with the phone yes thats a problem but opera beta3 final is the one to use.

opera hd2 and newer opera 10 togeather

hi all is it possible to run both the default opera and the newest opera together on same device, maybe install one to the storage card would it work

I'm using the beta Opera 10 from SD card and it works fine (very impressive). I did not delete the original version. It's handling of drop-down selection lists is particularly user-friendly. But only the original version will change to landscape mode when you tip the HD2 sideways.

there's an updated version that supports rotation. but still no pinch to zoom

I'll try it. Meanwhile, I like to 'tap screen to zoom' that Opera 10 does more than the pinch. It works like the closeup function on the HD2 camera.

just add the window class to the reg or use bsb tweaks to enable landscape.
beta 2 does seem as happy run of sd as it does in main memory. just remember to set the caches to storage card.
both apps are installed in different folders so they don't conflict.

I installed the beta 2 of opera 10 and i still have the orginal (Installed Opera 10 to phone) gonna delete the original, well at least for now.

OK ALL THANKYOU
so i can install to storage and the default opera will be untouched, great news ill try the latest beta then,
where do i get the latest beta as their no many which is newest

Try: http://www.opera.com/mobile/download/

When installing opera 10 is it possible for the web tab of sense 2.5 to open quick link favourites in this instead of the pre-installed opera version? Is it just a case of setting it as default? If this is the case would any browser work ie skyfire?

can you enable flash in the beta?

hi
do you know how to set as the default browser?
I didn't do it when instaling

try uninstall and installing again.
beta2 works great. improvement in almost/all every aspect

Runs much faster and overall great improvement. Now all that is missing is multitouch zoom and flash support and we are 99% satisfied!

In fact, you can install both in SD or device memory. They application has a different name. One is Opera and the other is Opera 10.

hi ,

but can't find the old ver in the program manager

The new version, 10 Beta 2u also auto-rotates to landscape mode.

What are the improvements over Opera 9 and are there any negatives?

- The negative point for Opera 9 in my opinion is that most of the time it wants to open the web page in 'mobile' version by default. This only reasons is so boring that it made me prefere Opera 10.
- With Opera 10 you will lose the Pinch & zoom.

Wow this new beta 2 is great! This version Does rotate without having to use tweaks. Browsing is wonderful!!

reset default browser to 9.7
for those that want the 9.7 as default browser try this
in opera 9 type
opera:
in the address bar. Then hit preferences and do a search for "first". A list should appear with something like first launch. tick this box, then hit save. exit opera. Open opera 9. it should now be default browser.
