Hey @ all,
i just tested a little around with my Advantage and 3.5G and found out that my Opera is never faster then 120Kbyte/Second... then i was wondering if this is the same on my WLAN. I ve got a 3.5 MBit DSL and tried first with Opera again 100-120 Kbyte/Second. After i tested with PIE. 450-540 Kbyte/Second...
Do i have to change some settings?
Thanks for your help
Kind Regards,

I've had a similar experience, and now use PIE over Operah. No idea why its like this!!

I did not do any benchmarks but I did find PIE faster. I have been using it over Opera and even Vueflo is set for PIE.
Maybe we need to tweak some settings in Opera as I do find the multiple tabs very useful.
Is there such a thing as tweaking the MTU or otherwise for individual applications on the Athena? Maybe Opera is slower because it processes the HTML differently and tries to adjust it for the screen while IE doesn't do as well of a job. Let me know if I'm wrong here.
Edit: I'm going to read through these to find out if there is anything that can be done. But I can't yet until later tonight or maybe this weekend. If you guys give it a go, let us know what you find if anything.

its, I think Opera is definitely MUCH MUCH slower than IE. This is not just in loading itself , in fetching data, in displays, but also in accepting input from the keyboard. Opera is unable to cope with the high speed typing using TenGo software keyboard, whereas IE has no problem coping.
I'm sticking with IE from now until this problem is addressed in future version.
As per suggestions in this thread I tested PIE.
Oh my god (OMG for all you netizens) it is h o r r i b l e. It doesn't render anything correctly.
And I do not find that Opera is slower, but that could be due to the service providers crappy Edge (only ~160 kbps).
Opera renders pages quite nicely although sometimes it misses things, but overall it it is much more pleasurable to surf using Opera.
Strange, i also found Opera better, and the speed is not slower than IE as well.

I found after changing a few settings in Opera it runs great and better than Pocket IE.

Not much but here they are:
- Menu/Windows/....defaults.
- Menu/Display/, select Load images, Fit to screen, Landscape. Go to Zoom and selectd 90%. Found that putting it on 90% pages load better and faster on my end.
- Menu/Tools/, General tab: uncheck Jump to page content, check Block pop-ups, Minimum font size 10. History tab: 2000KB, Network tab: All SSL and TLS checked, all Proxy left blank, Misc tab: All checked but Use grab and scroll. I found that checking grab and scroll slowed down the browser.
I'm planning on trying to optimize it more if at all possible maybe sometime this weekend. Also planning on possibly optimizing some registry entries for communicating via Internet. If there is an equivalent MTU setting like on PC's then that needs to be optimized because if you're going from GPRS to WiFi or 3G the settings won't be the same.
Edit: One more thing, if you didn't know about the opera.ini file here is a little info on that. I'm working on figuring out the best settings for this as well. Since I don't know when I'll have time to finalize this here is the info so you guys can look into it yourselves and not have to wait on anyone. ;-)
The file is located on your device at:
\\Application Data\Opera\opera.ini
You can find most of the preferences defined here:
http://operawiki.info/OperaINIFiles
I haven't had a chance to find where in the registry you can find connection optimization data but I know there are programs out there that you can setup profiles for each connection type, GPRS/WiFi/3G/etc...I wonder if these programs allow you to setup MTU's and other settings. Can anyone provide info on this?
Today when I used my Opera it was okay
It appears that our units are having erratic sluggishness at times. Most of the time it is fast but for no apparent reasons things started freezing up.
I'm begining to suspect this might be due to compaction thread activities going on, where the file system just simply takes up most of the available resources.
I thought the following information might be useful in order for us to understand what is really going on with our device.

What does everyone else think?
Everynow and then when I click on a URL in an email etc Opera does not launch. The wait cursor spins and spins to no end. I then try to start Opera myself using its icon ... same result. I close all running applications wondering if this is memory related and try Opera again ... no difference. So in short I've had it with Opera for now so I want to go PIE way.
Does anyone know how I can change the system default such that each time I click on a URL PIE opens up instead of Opera?
Thanks a lot for all your help.
since purchasing my hd I have had the beauty constantly on the internet. I use it pretty much all the time. I do however have one problem, i an not sure hd it is something I have done but when I open an rss feed's link in the rss hubb I can never get the links to open in opera. instead I hatedtm copy and paste. I an sure there's a registry hack for this so could anyone help?
I'm also trying to do the same...
please help
at least let us know if it's possible!!
Open up your favourite registry editor (I use CeRegistryEditor), and check:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\EFBROWSER
It should be set to "\Windows\OperaL.exe". If this doesn't work, try searching for iexplore.exe.
ok i found it you have to change the key
hklr\http\shell\open
change to opera and reboot!
thanks dave
I tried this but still couldn't get it to work.
Has anyone any ideas please?
1) Open Opera Mobile
2) Type opera:config into the address, this gives you access to tons of preferences
3) Expand the install bullet
4) Check Browser First Time Launch and press Save
5) Exit Opera
6) Restart Opera
The first time you restart it will take a while, and may even close without showing you the browser, but now open a link from e-mail or other source and it should use Opera to open.
THX @ elgar
works perfect for me (MIRI V12.0)

Awesome, thanks fella. IE opening all the time was annoying the hell out of me. Apart from flash support, Opera is a significantly superior browser.

Is this really the full path guys? Ican't even seem to see a " hklr" to start with ... what am I missing here?... could you please help and confirm?
Ok I found it now... in "hkcr" of course... well done for your tip then ....thanks!
lost opera as default...again!
Opera 9.7b browser messed up my config...
Right... I really hope that someone can help me out here.
This is an old boring problem I once had with Opera, but I had then found my answer. Only this time the remedy won't work: Basically, after trying out Opera 9.7b and then uninstalling it, the cooked Opera browser in Dutty's 3.6 won't function as my default browser anymore (when I click on links from Google Maps for example)...
So I used the usual solution:
1) Open Opera Mobile
2) Type opera:config into the address, this gives you access to tons of preferences
3) Expand the install bullet
4) Check Browser First Time Launch and press Save
5) Exit Opera
6) Restart Opera
But the config above doesn't seem to stay in the system, once Soft reset, I can see that it is unchecked again... Could somebody shine a light on my moment of darkness please?
Edit: all sorted thanks to registry edit above...

Opera Mobile official thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=486502
i just started using barcorama and i think it is a pretty cool app. i did read through a little bit of the barcorama thread in the kaiser forum but i think there are too many posts. what website is the best search engine that i should use to search the barcode that will give me a list of stores that sell the same product but shows the different prices. also how do i change the browser to opera 9 rather then let it default to using internet explorer? thanks
To use opera instead of ie, go to more => settings then go to Program to run. Change the value to \Windows\operal.exe then it will open opera instead of ie.
thanks but what is the best website that i can use for barcorama that will be able give me a lsit of prices to compare for that product
go to your settings.txt file in the barcorama folder and edit the txt file last item
RUNARGS=http://www.frucall.com/m/xhtml/lookup.do?code=!###!&zip=08888
but change the last numbers to your zipcode so it will show local results.
Been working great for me...fast and a lot of products.
thanks nice website. but i think it doesn't give enough results. when i tried a barcode it only gave me like 6 websites. any other websites worth trying?
Is there any UK websites?
I tried google but couldnt come up with much
Ok, ive managed to find two - http://www.pricegrabber.co.uk/ & http://www.snappr.net/
Im using snappr as pricegrabber didnt seem to find anything - im using this run argument:

im using chiese tp2 with tf3d, over here we have opera originaly come with my tp2 however, i can only open 2 tabs, one is first page and one more after that. my job needs to be using more tabs that HTC gave to us (2 tabs only) i normally needed 4~ 6 different tabs, therefore, im wondering that if there is anyone know how to unlock this "tab problem"
i have already tried to adjest the "max allowable" in opera:config, but wnehever i tried that still i can only open 2 tabs.
i really need to have this function to be unlocked, and please help me
There was a thread around here that contains the exact solution to your problem.
Solution
type in the browser "opera:config" without the quotes, scroll down to "User Prefs" and click on it. scroll though that list till you get to "Max Allowed tabs". i changed mine to 15, I dont recommend changing it to 100 and then trying to open 100 pages. My pc has firefox and ive only had to use a max of 25 tabs
Sprint TP2
I have tried this time & again to no avail. Am i doing something wrong?
you may already know this but you have to scroll down to the end of the user pref. section and click the save button after you change the setting.
mylok, yeah had done that already. no such luck.
The reason it won't work for you is because of push internet. Opera is always running in the background. That's why the changes you make in opera:config won't stick.
2 ways to go about it:
-disable push internet and stop Opera from running. You can't do this from the GUI. See here for details.
-or you can edit the opera.ini file directly with a text editor. This is actually quite easy. Save the file to your desktop and open it with notepad. It's very easy to figure out what you need to edit. Open it and try. Then overwrite the original file. (it's found under "\windows\opera9\")
Hi guys,
is it possible to change the default Browser (T-Mobile web'n'walk [Opera9]) to self-installed Opera10?
Could not find any possibility...
thanks!
No ideas? Damn T-Mob branding. No ROM Update available
I don't have Opera 10 installed, so can't give you exact instructions, but there's an executable in the windows folder called OperaL. This is what manilla runs when you open internet explorer from the internet tab.
You need to replace that with the executable for opera 10. It's also possible that there are associated files and/or folders with Opera 10. They may or may not need to be copied into the windows folder too. Sorry I can't be more specific, but I don't have Opera 10 as I prefer to keep the ability to pinch-to-zoom.
Incidentally, this has nothing to do with T-Mobile's branding. An off-the-shelf SIM free HD2 (like mine) uses Opera 9 from the internet tab too. It just isn't branded as T-Mobiles.
Thanks for your answer.
If this would be a "normal" Opera 9, it would be OK and no Problem. But every time I'll start the Browser by clicking the icon in the internet tab, the "web and walk"-Opera-Browser asks me "Would you really go online?" and I have to tap "yes". This is really ugly and so I want to replace it by another browser - in this case opera 10.

I understand - that would get on my tats as well! If you prefer Opera 10, try the above. If you'd like to keep Opera 9, I could supply you with the exe off my phone and it may get rid of the message. Don't know for sure though.

Check "HKLM\Software\Opera\Defaults\ConnectConfirmationMsg" and set it to 0
also check "HKLM\Software\Opera\Defaults\FirstTimeConnectConfirmationMsg" and set that to 0.
Good luck!
Thanks for this registry hack, but both of them are set to 0 by default. very ugly.
@johncmolyneux thanks, but my colleague has a hd2, too, but unbranded. he will send me his operal.exe and then we'll test if it's running.
It's pretty easy to bypass the MessageBox. The Opera (or Web'n Walk) Shortcut in the startmenu points not to \windows\OperaL.exe but \windows\BrandedBrowser.exe... so simply edit the shortcut located in \windows\startmenü\programme with totalcommander or something.
As Far as the Internet Tab in Manila goes... i don't have a clue. i searched the registry, searched several xml files in \windows....
YES, DID IT!
Thank you, operative1.
I've searched the registry for "BrandedBrowser" and:
HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\UseBrandedBrowser set from 1 to 0 and look - Opera10 is opening. Now i just have to change the Icon - but at the moment i'm really happy that the Shortcut is right!
Thank you all guys!
Great. Looking long time for it.
Thanks a lot.

THANK YOU! It fit's!
No hack/edit needed!
If you open Opera 9 and go to Menu/Settings/Advanced and uncheck Set Opera as default browser then exit. When you install Opera 10 it asks at that time if you'd like to set it as your default browser select yes and your done. No registry hacks or anything else needed.
