Hi, I use the standard Opera 9.7 that came with the HD2 and it doesn't have the "opera turbo" option under "settings -> display" as it says in the FAQ that comes with opera. I can't even find a setting for opera turbo anywhere in the registry so far.
Do you have that issue, too? Or is turbo enabled by default so there is no need to show that option?
I also can't found it. But You can use Opera 10 mobile beta 1, it has turbo, but multitouch doesn't work and for auto rotating screen is necessary some registry key add.
According to Opera it should be there since 9.7 and the HD2 has 9.7
Anyone else got an idea?
I think its just not included, but maybe if you re-install with a version from the Opera website?
I'll wait for opera mobile 10 final
You can find the option by tipping "opera:config" in the adress bar -> User Prefs

Do you have it working now ?
However, do you find any different with the turbo is on ?
*pls delete*
haven't actually had the time to surf around, sorry. I'll report back when I get to it, if I notice any difference.
I also activated "smooth scrolling" in the same config and that made a difference I reckon.
I have test it and works really fast, half of loading time, I am not really sure why htc did not put that from stock ROM, any idea ?
would be nice to have the option to switch this in the setting menu. Turbo is not good when using secure sites. Also when in turbo i do not think it will remember passwords etc (i maybe wrong).
tbh I tried turbo boost, and I noticed a DELAY in page loading. since then i have returned to non Turbo.

Turbo uses Opera's servers to cache the webpage, which is then compressed and sent to your phone. Therefore you may well see a delay, but the loading time of the page will be quicker and the data transfer smaller. Using turbo on wifi is pointless.
The fact that the data is compressed on their server is why i say it is not ideal to use on secure sites.
despite the really short lag until the page show up, there is a real improvement in speed.
don't know if it's only me or did you experince the fact that some pages have a different "view style" now, too? seems like the turbo makes some pages use the "mobile view" although it is disabled. but maybe it's just that those pages see that you have a mobile browser and automatically use the mobile-css.

Ever since using Opera 10 whenever I load a site for the first time I get the message "502 bad gateway"
If I then refresh the page then it loads fine
Anyone else with this problem or any solutions?
Does this happen when you attempt to load a particular website?
Has this problem occured only today, or does it happen all the time?
A 502 Bad Gateway error is usually a network error between servers on the Internet, meaning that its possible that this problem is not with your HD or Internet connection.

This problem started ever since installing Opera 10 weeks ago. It is the same for all sites I go on (even the google search bar) - but again only for the first load, refreshing always loads the page correctly. Then all the following sites on that tab work ok, however if I then open a new tab the problem occurs again on the new tab until page refreshed

I'm not sure if this will resolve your problem, but you can try the following:
1. Open Opera browser.
2. Go to Settings.
3. Select the Advanced option and make sure the Set Opera as default browser checkbox is selected.

I get this same error, but if I turn off 'Opera Turbo' the error disappears. Strangely Opera Mini (which I thought used the same page compression techniques) does not have this problem - and is so much faster at loading pages too.
Turning off Opera Turbo is my solution!
Hi. I have the exact same problem, did anyone find a solution?
Turning Opera Turbo on or off doesn't make any difference for me.
Hi just like title says.
Debug mode doesnt work
I installed Dolphin HD. You can find a "desktop"-mode in it's settings.
Dont want to mess my device, dont want a workaround ;-) so I'll stay at stock browser ... this one must do it somehow
what exactly is this desktop mode? Do you mean fullscreen? If so, webkit wont hide the taskbar, youll need a third party browser like dolphin or firefox.

the mode I nean is that the browser is not recognised as a mobile device but as a desktop pc, some sites redirekt you to mobile version and features are not available e.g. google calander
On my HTC, just click the menu button in the browser, then "More", then "Settings" and there you should see "Mobile view", just untick it.
Webkit will not allow you to choose user agent. Get dolphin he from the market, it does.

Mmm I don't think you know what you're talking about.
Dolphin is using Webkit, it's just the appearance that has been changed.
And you can do it with the stock browser just the way I explained it a few post above.
Oh please.
Why don't you try doing exactly as you've recommended above little buddy, starting with more, then settings, then whatever.
what he is saying is true, i have that option on my htc but not my galaxy.

The Samsung stock browser does not offer the ability to change user agent. Samsung have stripped that setting from the browser (along with quite a number of other ones littered throughout the OS). Samsung's iteration and Dolphin are both based on webkit.
Use Firefox (behaves a bit randomly though, some pages display mobile view while others don't) or Dolphin HD with Desktop Toggles AddOn as a work around until we get some custom ROMs for this thing.
Like said above no setting like this in menu, not even with debug mode. Personaly I think the whole device is on every edge a bit buggy, translation faults and some senceless functions, or some wich are not thought to the next level. Like allshare, nice but not really functional no option to set more files at once in playlist, or mydocs, no option zo rename.
I also miss that function . On my N1 I can go into the menu and change so the browser does not present itself as a mobile device. On the big screen tab I would mostly like to view webpages as a real browser and not a mobile browser.
When You log on to a newspaper they all end up as mobile pages and You only get the stupid headlines and not the stuff You actually browsed to get.
Tried to download COD yesterday but could not do it as the browser went into mobile mode and presented itself as P1000 which stopped me from even trying to install it.
I search a little bit around without success, about:debug enable some features but seems there is not a chance to enable it.
Seems it happen also with Galaxy S with froyo installed, differently than HTC Desire that has the default the user agent selectable by default (I think is an HTC chose).
Anyway not just Dolphin HD allows to change it also Skyfire, but I agree that would be nice to have it on the default browser...(that seems to be faster then the Dolphin)
For me xScope 6 is the fastest (and featurewise imo the best as well) on the Tab.
With yesterdays release of Dolphin HD 4.0 we now have the finest mobile browser on the tab. All the bugs that used to tick me off are gone and fullscreen is silky smooth.
I don't know if you guys know already, but Opera Mobile browser has been updated to 11.1, bringing along a whole lot of goodies, including flash support and user agent changes.
One thing I did notice was that typing lag on facebook seemed to have diminished, this was on desktop view, however still unable to type through some pages with "disqus"
I also found HD 720p videos on youtube has greatly improved! It might be just me, but frames seem to be a whole lot better as opposed to dolphin HD and stock browser.
Frames also drop a bit when viewing full screen 720p in browser, but its watchable.

Temporary Fix to search bar always going to mobile search (must apply apply every time you reset Opera), Credit to iCracked
Hey everyone, I have found a fix for those of you frustrated with the old google mobile search. once you have switched UA to desktop, go to google.com manually, it should load up the full site. Now, using your finger, press and hold over the google.com (website's) search bar, to bring up the menu. Now select "add search engine" then go to your browser search bar and tap the little google icon to bring up a list of search providers and select the new google one, be sure to delete the old one to avoid confusion.

yes, I noticed that too, but I made some video comparisons with a few 720p videos that I watched on different browsers, and it seems Opera seems to perform better. Only my judgement though, and I'm judging on real world performance, not an in app browser test to judge what I can see.
I am running Honeycomb 3.1 stock unrooted
and its fast!!!! not the flash. everything else. no keyboards lag ... Google you need to learn something or maybe buy opera.

Opera is known to introduce its own optimizations, so that's why it's the best in terms of Javascript performance showing zero lag in text input. Finally, Flash support is available! How did they manage to do that without Honeycomb source code?
memory usage is pretty bad tho. 170mb right now on xda wtf?
I'm guessing that the Flash support doesnt work with the hacked/hulu Flash? Opera isn't picking up my Flash but it works in every other browser...
Seems to work well and without any redraw issues when scrolling quickly. Good spot.
nice...will have to give it a try when i get home.
Last night i did a second reset. trying to run my tablet without any downloads for the moment and monitoring performance.
disabled javascript, flash on demand, and the browser was beautifully working. opened up links super fast, then.........
i hit the back button (lower left on screen)...the page does nothing. i press again, and this time it takes me 2 pages further than i wanted...damnit
then when i go from landscape to portrait, the damn quick scroll guide (added in 3.1) is stuck in the middle of the page...
all of a sudden..it crashes. no message, no warning, just straight back to home page. wtf... shame, because i love the layout of the stock browser.
But. Opera..here i come
Loving it. It's REALLY quick, feels 4x quicker than the stock browser, and more intuitive too. I also just tried their desktop browser, Chrome killer or what!!!

Opera keeps on randomly zooming in on certain links when I click them. This is extremely annoying when using the touchpad as the mouse is plenty accurate enough.
Any way to turn this off?
Anyone successfully seeing flash videos in the new Opera using the 10.3 hulu hacked flash?
Google searches from the address bar or search box still use the mobile google site even with the UA set to desktop.
Did they also increase the font size on 11.1? The font size on previous version were much smaller then default browser, and dolphin HD

That's precisely why you don't see any redraw while scrolling. The stock browser uses less memory because it doesn't load the whole page, instead only loading the portion of the page that you are currently viewing. This translates to choppy performance because it has to reload the page every time you scroll up or down, but leaves more memory for the rest of the OS to work with.
I hate tabs on this thing. Hidden, huge and ugly.
Also it renders fonts badly (some letters are to close, some are too bold comparing to stock browser or Dolphin).
scrolling is jittery no where as smooth scrolling as default browser

I like them out of the way. They are hidden on my desktop that sports a full hd screen, I see no reason to keep them on sight on a "tiny" screen
Anyway, they didn't update Opera link, I was kinda hoping they will, so to get the most out of Opera 11.50....... oh well. One day.

Unfortunately, you will have to do this after each reboot of the device. This has been an issue from the earliest versions of Android and Google seem to be incapable of finding a solution to what on the face of it seems to be a relatively simple problem.

Dolphin Pad seems to be a bit better about remembering this...although some sites still insist on loading the mobile versions, at least it seems to remember the setting once it's set. It's a good browser anyway, I keep going back and forth between the normal browser and it, can't decide which one I like better. Both are good.

What are you talking about? I set defalt browser to desktop a month ago and it still shows as desktop.
That's not the same thing - that just renders in desktop mode. Sites can (and some still) redirect you to an m. version. The difference being major HTML/CSS /JS(Q) etc. Optimization for mobile browsing is still a concern for a lot of Web developers.
You can set to render Desktop but the sites that check mostly doesn't care what you have it set at. If you don't meet its criteria for a Desktop browser they will redirect you to a m. version (IF they have that functionality in place - not all sites do)
EDIT***
I'd also like to add that the the UserAgent setting not being permanent is in all likelihood a Honeycomb bug. Nobody can get it to stick using the stock browser however it works flawlessly on 2.x OS versions.
I just went into the browser settings, under advanced, changed to desktop and I don't get the mobile sites anymore.

You need to root and have ClockWorkMod on your Note to flash those files.
Here is the link on how to root and install CWM5. It's a long read but basicly you download the root programme, the correct modified Kernel file, extract the kernel into the root programme folder (do this 2 times until you get a zip file), then let the programme do the magic (takes 2 mins).

I had the green stock battery icon. but after flashing the 2nd file, the battery icon was replaced with a numerical version.
Thank you.And does it also support the text reflow which is not working properly in the stock browser?,I am using the Opera but relutantly mainly for those two reasons.
I have another reason idon't use the stock browser.
You can't have the buttons that let you adjust the text size to the screen as much as you want.
At first i was convinced that it was a mistake on my part, but no, as hard to believe as it is they dropped something as essential as this, they did.
Could someone post firmware specific browser links?
I am for instance currently on XXKKA.
Yes, reflow would be very nice. I use Dolphin HD but reflow doesn't work there either. Rotating the display triggers text reflow though...

why you guys not try firefox? reflow, user agent, plus the powerful adblock plus!
The reflow in stock works once...many third party browsers I can double tap a number of times for continual reflow.
The zoom icon allows continual reflow also but it's not available on stock.
If modded on it'd probably work well.

Also use a 10 site download test.
Both corroborate the results. Opera mobile is in the money also.
This is speed of course not features.
Will this work on the new kl3... and do we have to flash both??
I don't think it works on the different build. Someone correct me.
I haven't tried.... went back to boat browser mini.
Give Opera a try. It's the only one that uses hardware acceleration.
