Graphics error in Opera M 9.7 - HD2 General

Hey guys,
The Opera browser on my device produces a strange graphics error (see screenshot below; its a rather mild example, sometimes the marked entry is completely undistinguishable). The errors range from mild distortion but still readable to complete mess - but always only where the marked entry in the menu/favorits/tabs is; everything else is fine. Once the erroreous pixels formed an only mildly distorted digital timestamp so I guess some other application is messing in there somewhere. But I have no idea which it could be scince this problem seems to occur randomly. It seems to be pure chance if it's there when I launch Opera or not. It even might disappear between two Opera launches without a softreset in between. And softresets themself don't seem to make a difference scince the problem might still be there after the device was newly resetted.
Any ideas? (I use the stock german 1.43 ROM, Opera version is 9.7 build 35541 (the one that came preinstalled))

I've got the same problem.
I've try 1.43 and 1.48 Roms and it's still there.
The french and the WWE Roms.
I also try with and without the Drivers from ChainFire, no way too.
It seems that this affect only Opera 9.7.

This happened to me
Yesterday, with the regular - outlook calendar.
Once - For one briefe moment,
but did not occur since.

I have the same problem, but it has no affect to the functionality. This issue is sometimes present, and sometimes not.

Messed up Opera

Ok I fiddeled around too much and end of story deleted the settings file in the opera folder Settings.
Well I'd really love to get that file back, or even better the standard shipped opera touch hd version.
Can someone upload or tell me where to get it? Would be awesome.
Buttons are too small and the zoom levels are wrong.
Thanks.

I seem to be getting a messed up opera.
Everytime I open opera, it loads the page correctly in potrait, but then rotate the HD to get a fuller view of the web page that I am browsing, but all the sudden my phone pad opens. It seems that everytime that I am in opera and then I turn the phone sideways, the phone pad opens. How can I stop that? Its so annoying!!!
Previously, I had installed gyrator 2, but this app completely messed up everything, so I've decided uninstalled gyrator 2. Afterwards, I hard reset to make sure I got rid of gyrator 2 and did the usual of sync with my pc, etc.
I have also uninstalled HDtweaks, not sure what good would that be (maybe someone could clarify).
I have installed and customised my HD with:
S2U2-1.35-VGA.cab
1SdkCerts.cab
Colored Top bar WWE.cab
TFL3DIconsV3.cab
CorePlayer. V1.2.5 Build 4506
I noticed S2U2 on your software list... All I know is that S2U2 has Always, on Every phone I have tried it on, screwed something up. Don't get me wrong it is great software and probably not even the cause of your particular problem, but S2U2 has given me very strange and too much annoying problems to rule it out of anything.
The worst thing was lately when I decided to try it on the HD... I just hard reset my HD after having tried a million applications, tweaks, driver changes etc. So a clean start, and since S2U2 was so buggy for me in the past I decided to install it first, to completely rule out that it would perform crap because of any other aftermarket software.
For a little while it worked. Changed some settings, the thing always tended to get confused... so changed the settings to default. Couple of unlocks later... Nice, now I only see the background when I am trying to unlock my phone to make a friggin phone call... The program is called Slide To Unlock and ironically the slider is missing meaning I cannot access my phone. Not a single area on the screen responds, of course. Pressed home key, showing TouchFLO for 100ms before S2U2 takes over again. So in a window of 100ms, I had to press the tasks button on the top right to invoke the close all apps button... crap.
So I decided I'd wait for a more stable version, and tried to uninstall it, lol yes I said tried... On the Diamond, and also on the HD, somehow this has to take like 5 or 10 minutes, for a friggin tiny itsy bitsy <1mb installer package. It just hangs and hangs and you wonder has my phone crashed. Nice. This is just a small pick from the problems I had with the software.
Edit: This is probably not the fault of S2U2, but rather my phone not wanting any iPhone-lookalike software on it
problems still persist with opera. everytime i rotate the HD, it switches to phone pad.
i think as you said it may be a bug with S2U2, im gonna uninstall S2U2.
So far so good....

Opera Mobile 9.5 Out of Memory Error

I notice that a lot of ROMS come with Opera Mobile, but for some reason, I am continually receiving an out of memory error or sluggish performance with this app. Is this to be expected? This is even true on some of the LITE ROMS I've tried. I'm pretty much forced to use Opera Mini with its drawbacks (which I don't really mind), but I was curious if this was my issue or something else.
i am guessing that you receive the out of memory error once you have installed your own apps, so maybe something else is causing the memory issue. Have you tried on a fresh install with nothing installed? Have you got the latest opera installed?
yes it is pretty common...or at least was, I stopped using it awhile ago because of it. Is it still Beta?
Personally I really like Skyfire for a browser.
It is very common in Hermes devices because we have so relatively little RAM available. I have overcome the problem by invoking Opera (15233) from a mortscript that disables the Today plugins, kill activesync, etc. before launching the program and restarts everything when I exit the program. It takes longer to start the program, but it works fine for using the Opera browser.
It's too bad
It's too bad no one has set-up a micro sd chip to run as a ramdrive for programs like Opera 9.5 and such. The memory possibilities would be endless.

Opera browser closes when loading a website!?

I've been having some serious problems with browsing the net as while opening some websites that used to be ok in the past, now the Opera explorer closes. If I try to do it again same thing happens and after that the phone seems to be unable to open Opera all together. Also before closing, it keeps bringing up the virtual keyboard again and again even tho I keep pressing "minimize"... is there a way to reinstall opera or sort this out in an easier way?
Thanks for any help.
same here
I have the same trouble, gets very annoying, especially when it wont load at all and you have to soft reset to get opera to load again. How can a company like HTC release a product with so many faults and problems, i think my htc days are coming to an end, no support from them, what a bunch of idiots. very disapionted. what could have been a great product has turned out to be quite crap.
come on guys somebody must know how to sort this out?!
Having the same problem but i reckon its a result of an app i may have installed...dont have a clue which one could be the culprit!!
Installed some more apps 2day and now my Opera wount even load
Any got ay ideas??
Hey guys, any of you has intalled a replacement for the top bar? There are some UI improvements that are designed for the Diamond and not for the blackstone. As a result, you can't rotate the screen, and Opera gets minimized when you try to do that. I have this issue with a 'Vista-like' top bar.
I think that might have been it. I also had a vista like top bar which looked good and at first sight didnt seem to cause any problems but i guess there were some complications when it came to opera.

HD2 and SWYPE freeze issue...please help/advice

Hi folks,
Am a proud owner of a new HTC HD2 device with ROM Version 1.43.405.1 (70124) WWE. The phone works wonders in all departments (calling, surfing, mailing, etc) but I have one issue since earlier today...
Situation: I installed the SWYPE software for windows mobiles. It is a great piece of software - really ask anyone who has used it - I got addicted to it within seconds to tell you the truth.
Issue: After successful installation and choosing SWYPE as the keyboard, the system works for a few minutes then eventually freezes and has to be reset.
Question: Anyone been through this mini-nightmare? I call it this because for a while I was very happy since my dream came true but it was short lived. Now I have to resist from using SWYPE and all seems ok...
Please do help me out here... I want to really start swyping on my new phone but there seems to be an issue that needs to be addressed
Is this a ROM related issue, a hardware related issue or a software related issue? WHat is the solution?
What software have you got installed on the device? Also have you installed Memmaid yet to auto clear your memory and notifications queue which can also cause lockups?
I am using Swype with no issues at all. Having said that I'm on ROM 1.48 but I don't see why the rom version should be relevant here (I could be wrong).
Will try and keep my eye on this thread but pm me if you need further help.
WB
Firsy and fpremost thanks for your super quick response.
Now, I don't use memmaid but CleanRAM, which works pretty well without issues. Not sure it's a good idea to use more than 1 memory management software. I've replied to your post using my hd2 but this time not using the swype software and guess what... no crashes.
I'm about to try and uninstal & reinstall SWYPE to restablish whether that helps...
I am getting occasional and intermittent lock ups which I have to admit I am attributing to Swype. I had it installed a few weeks back and had a few lock ups but until installing the sensitivity 3.2 CAB recently I found it hard to work with so took it off. The lock ups effectively stopped.
After installing the screen sensitivity fix I decided to give it another go as I liked the concept. This time it is unutterably brilliant, especially for longer and more complex words - staggeringly good...seriously. The speed I can manage is astonishing.
However, I'm back to experiencing occasional lock ups - perhaps one every two or three days.
I'm about to look at updating my ROM with a custom one and have no plans to ditch Swype.
I'm sorry I can't offer anything more helpful by way of a solution, but I can at least confirm that there may be an issue there. I'll report back if anything interesting happens post-ROM upgrade.
Hmm,
Don't know much about Clean Ram but I would advice a tool that cleans the ram AND the notification queues, etc.
Re Swype, are you sure you have installed the version for the HD2, ie WVGA? Also have you set Swype to be your default keyboard using a utility called Sip Change to be found here on XDA?
WB
Would really appreciate your posting the links to the mentioned versions of swype and tools required... I've just uninstalled SWAYPE and will install the correct version & required tools too as soon as you post the links and test the mobile out before going to bed.
Look in the Development & Hacking forum. Actually, better still, use this to search the whole of XDA...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=598952
Works pretty well. You are Looking for "Sip Change" and "Swype WVGA". If you can't find them let me know and I will see what I can do tomorrow.

Thanks for your feedback. We seem to have a few things in common. They include...
1. Installation of SWYPE resulting in freezing the HD2 (or lockups if you prefer)
2. Uninstalling does stabilise the device HD2
Well, as far as I'm concerned there might be a problem here, but then our friend wacky.banana confirmed that swype works well on his HD2...so why ont on our's?
I have a mission...getting to the bottom of this mystery...
I can confirm that swype work great on my HD2 also, I'm runniing swype, sipchange, sense & spbshell together, and though not really stable (a reboot every couple of days) works fine most of the time. The reboots are probably not as a result of swype, it just appears it's common with windows phones, and somehting I'll have to live with. Stability is a BIG issue, especially when compared to my old iphone, in 18 months that needed a reboot less than 10 times, the hd2 needs that or more in a month.
Ok... just installed the wvga version of swype one the xda site and this text is typed... oopsswyped using the software. Now all I have too do is play with the device and find out what happens next...
Will keep you guys posted...
Thanks for your reactions so far...
Alright guys here is the next installment of my monolog... lol
The tips by wacky.banana helped so far. I've managed to install the wvga version of swype followed by the sip change tool. The result is a greater degree of stability after an initial few minutes of nutty behavior by the device. Once I rebooted the mobile things stabilized.
The first battle has been won it would seem.Now we play the waiting game again...
All's well that ends well or a delayed case of disappointment? Only time will tell.
SlidezIT... Hmmm sounds like an option but before I embark on the adventure this is a demo version that dies on you (ends) after a trial period right?
10dulkar,
Now that you have got it working I strongly suggest that you invest in Memmaid to manage your notification queue. If you have any more strange lock-ups it will almost certainly be down to that unless you have installed some incompatible/unstable software that causes you problems.
PM me if you want to know how to set it up.
WB
E Nm,
Thanks for the tip/advice. Currently the device is stable with rom 1.43 (the original that the mobile came with) and cleanRAM works wonders; all this with swype installed of course.
They say, if it ain't broken don't fix it! Enough said really...
Thanks to you all your help and wish you ask lots of fun with you mobiles and a happy new year...
I have a problem with the Swype keyboard not loading sometimes, and also locking out the little keyboard button, so I can not change my input keyboard. NOTE - the phone is operational other than this.
I am convinced it is Swype causing this, as when I have TouchPal set as my keyboard I do not get this issue - however after using Swype, it's really hard to go back to a 'tapping' keyboard, it's so SLOW. Does anyone think installing SipChange will fix this problem, or are there any similar keyboards out there that challenge Swype?
Swype is a bad idea in general for the HD2. I'm completely locked out of mine and can't even do a hard reset.
That's probably due to you installing leaked versions from other devices. You can register for a Beta release of Swype on their website, as I think they intend to release it soon as a standalone app.
i got the us hd2 from tmo which comes preloaded with swype and i can say that texts in general seem to be an issue but mostly when swype is turned on.
if i get too many texts at once and try to use the messaging app it can freeze up sense but i am able to get into the start menu.
sometimes even if just one message comes in if i type to quickly with swype it does the same.
im blaming the combo of swype and the sense messaging app
Freeze issue cause
Strangest thing.
I too love swype.
I've tried TMOUS 2.10 stock, Duttys, HTC-like swype, PPC Geeks TMOUS extracted swype.
All give me issues of freezing etc, especially when in text msgs.
HOWEVER, in TMOUS stock rom, when frozen, if I take out the 16Gb sd card, instant unfreeze???
I put in an older 2Gb sd card, and no problems!!!
Deleting application data on 16Gb sd does not help.
Am doing more experiments.

Swype is amazing .. when it works.
i have tried the v2 version and experienced issues with camera (which i can only assume are because of swype as i havent had the issue since not using that version) which stopped the cam from initialising then eventually cam resetting to defaults?? with low res and white screen when taken a picture - since no solution was available i had to hard reset (this happened about 4 times)
i then installed (and still use) the version 3.9 and the camera issue no longer exists however a really annoying bug occurs sometimes the keyboard takes a long time to work, if i go to reply to a text and the convo is quite big, swype will not let me reply untill its fully loaded the texts (im assuming this.. its very similar to what sms txting was like b4 the sms fix update) if i switch to any other keyboard i can type fine , switch back and still have to wait.
i heard SwipeIT was almost identical, and thus went and bought it (maybe i should have tried the demo) and im not impressed, swype is far superior. im used to doing the loop for repeated chars and you dont do that on swipeIT (if you do it gets confused) , swype gets 99% of what i type and swipeIT seems to not understand more than it does. however swipeIT does not have the bug for sms convo replies so i keep it installed (that and i payed for it so its staying haha)
i accidently installed v2 of swype yesterday when i hardreset and tested the sms and was so happy that the bug was gone (As i didnt realise it was v2) , im tempted to put v2 back on and risk the camera bug
rant over ha

[Q] Wierd Typing Problem

I'm now ocassionally getting a wierd problem with my Iconia A500.
I'm running "KJY2010_3.2.1_Honeylicious_Flash_Glass" which has behaved well for a couple of years and I feel no need to change or upgrade.
Without performing any recent updates, I've noticed when typing an e-mail (in my Yahoo account) within Firefox, the input text sometimes has started to be displayed backwards i.e. I type "The bridge" and the charaters are shown as "egdirb ehT". Sometimes the problem doesn't happen, sometimes it does. It might be that it only starts after I've been editing or correcting something, can't say for certain as it's not a very regular ocurrence.
Tried updating Firefox but it still happens.
Once it starts doing it I have to reboot, I haven't tried FC & restart of FF but will next time.
I haven't noticed it happening with Dolphin (or other apps yet) - and I would much prefer to stick with Firefox if possible.
Anyone had a similar problem? Or suggestions (keep it clean)?
