Hey all.
I have opera set up with Google as my home page but since updating via SEUS Opera always starts up at an 'ApptoDate' download page on MoDaCo. I've only ever installed NoData from them and have not re-installed that app since updating the rom.
My homepage is correctly set to point at google but is ignored by Opera on start up.
Is this some registry setting that's screwed up perhaps? Anyone know where to look?
Cheers
There is thread in generalsection with all versions of Opera 9.5 (Or almost all)
Check there and try another version till you get a working one

I am using a software which provides me information in the forms of texts and figures. Everytime when I opened figures on my HD, Opera activated itself and took over the role of viewing figures. Subsequently, all the informations including texts and figures must be viewed by the Opera, and crashes frequently occured. I wonder if Opera could be inactivated so to prevent this problem.
Any help will be appreciated. Thank you.
Can anyone help?
I think your problem is that Opera is declared to be the standard browser. Maybe changing this would help. As far as I know this is done by changing some registry keys.
Is it possible to change the link in Touchflo 3D on my blackstone from opera to another browser ?
I dream to click on the Internet'tab, and when I tap on Earth's picture :NetFront run instead of Opera.
I couldn't find a way to change the default browser. Does anybody know how to do it?
I remember having to do this on one of my older PDAs. I believe the instructions that I followed were roughly similar to the ones found at this link.
Note that this is actually for Windows Mobile 5, but there's a good chance they will still work. Just make sure you note down all of your original settings before you change anything. And, as always, try at your own risk.

i had the same problem. i was using uptodate medical program. the software is designed to be used with PIE. so what i did was google the regedit. there are a lot of regs to be editted to change from opera to PIE. basically what u could do is open regedit on a pda without opera browser. just change the main .html, .htts etc to pie. hope this helps for a start. but if you still have problem. post a reply and i'll give full regedit amendments. thanks
please e_cam23, i am also a fellow uptodate user and i have the same problem.. using uptodate on the blackstone is a painful experience for me :'( sometimes it works and sometimes opera opens and then crashes and takes me back to the previous uptodate page pleeeeeease help me out i am trying to make IE the default bs i couldn't on my own..
UpToDate
In the latest version(16.3) of UptoDate, crashes occur far less frequently. Try it out and you will feel relieved!
I am not sure where to get it from i got it from a friend on a dvd..
forgot to say that all the method i found for touch pro and diamond and kaiser did not work on my hd.. editing registry values in RAI under shell to iexplore and Pocket ie,, also a file by darkness which tells me unsuccessful installment when i run it :S
In new opera (official release), there is an option default browser inactivation.
It may help you, freinds
change default browser on Touch HD
double post
Sorry
All,
from my understanding Opera is 'hardcoded' in TF3D, changes in the registry will not have the effect you want. From my knowledge there are two ways to overcome this.
1. use SSMaPa to patch another default browser into Manila.exe (works also for some other applications)

2. use VJBrisk to route the program launch of Opera to your preferred browser

install new version of opera doesnt mater wether on the device memory or the storage card but i did it on the storage and then uninstall it you'll end up with explorer being the default browser for everything and this is the only way that worked for me

Hi,
I'm a new Touch HD user. Phone is really great. One problem: when I'm quiting the native Opera browser (by tapping upper right corner and tapping on a cross near Opera) - phone freezes. It happens almost every time. No buttons react to pressing or tapping. Only RESET helps (little spot under the battery cover).
Few questions:
1. How to solve the problem?
2. Is it possible to upgrade Opera's version (current version is 9.5 build 2682) and have it integrated in the main screen menu?
3. How to make IE the default browser (because it starts much faster, it shows more compact web pages (like Symbian on Nokia) and it doesn't crash at least)?
Thanks.
ROM: 1.14.414.2 (24011) WWE
ROM date: 12/10/08
Radio: 1.09.25.14
Exact same problem here. Does anyone have a solution to the freezing?
Is the "Hot fix to enhance response time for HTC Touch HD" the correct way to solve this? Every time I try to run it I get "Incorrect version. Please install the correct version of this Hotfix program" even though i'm sure i have the correct version.
Sometimes when I try to open Facebook Mobile, it resets the phone. I am forced to use the iphone facebook site and then redirect. Any ideas why? I'm still running the stock updated ROM on my Blackstone.
theres a .dll file that needs replacing i think. im kinda in a rush, so can't find it right now. search the forums, as there were numerous threads regarding the problem.
also, if u update the rom, a lot of the newer modifications allow opera to open much faster since its always running in the background.
as for the facebook app, no idea. sorry :s
u don't want to use internet explorer. u'll be sitting there all day waiting for the page to load. find a fix for the opera problem. i assure u its on these forums..!
EDIT: its a 4kb .dll file
Well I mean the website m.facebook.com I have no idea why. Anyway it's not evry important as now I am thinking of jumping to 6.5
Opera freezes on exit when you install D3D drivers (either by themselves or as part of some other program installation).
In order to check if this is the root of your problem go to \Windows rename HTCapi.dll go something like htcapi.bak, and do a soft reset.

Worked for me
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:

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.
Hi,
I'm truly wondering what's wrong with PIE on my device. If I enter a URL, just nothing happens, not even an error message, it will pretend to load for a little second, say that it loaded 0 kb and that's it. If data is switched off, it won't switch on, if data is switched on, nothing happens either.
All other internet requiring apps run perfectly on my device, e.g. Opera Mobile 10 or RSS Hub, even WeatherWatcher which makes use of PIE. Setting PIE to default browser doesn't change anything about its behaviour.
Here's my setup:
- Blackstone latest stock ROM ;
- Opera Mobile 10 Beta set as default browser ;
- Opera Mobile 9.7 installed for use within Manila ;
- WMLongLife running as a service.
Can anyone help me with some troubleshooting please?

IE itself sure enough, however, any application depending on IE (e.g. MySearch by Sleuth) doesn't work either because of that. So I am and certainly many others are very much interested in getting IE to run again ... I suspect that there is some conflict with WMLongLife, have to see ...
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!
