Pocket IE does not like to stay open in the background

I have been running 4.00.11 for quite sometime now the 2 main problems I have with this version is
1) If I'm using PIE & task switch or go to today or any other applications, when I try to come back to PIE it's been closed. I then have to re-open PIE & it loads my default page not where I was. It seems very tempermental in this version closing down whenever it is in the background, but not all the time. Very strange. Since I am using data each web page load this seems like a error that would benefit the service provider. :roll: Odd since I never had this problem in earlier versions (keep in mind all these versions are on the same build) Hmmmm?
2) If I reg hack to put my cookies, history, & temp internet files on SD & I get disconnected from the network it will, from that point forward start using main memory again. If I delete these files from main memory it then starts using SD card again which tells me the reg hack was never actually changed back to what it was before my edit. How strange is that? For some reason it just starts using RAM even though the registry is set to tell it to use SD. Go figure? Again not ever occurring in previous versions.
Has anyone else experienced this? Just curious.
I still think Ozone version was still the most stable minus the Alarms issue which still plagues many of the non-phone edition 2003 devices.
It would be nice to see a ROM version based on Ozone minus the alarms issue & the 2 battery icons w/the new version of WinModem coming from O2 included in the new O2-XDA2. I think this would be an ideal ROM. Just a blind item suggestion... :wink: and of course whatever other little programs can be fit 8)

Try freeing up more ram.
I find if I multitask too many the os will start closing them especially PIE and EzWap when you have
web pages open.
Oh yah cache for PIE dont work too well either it always reload from the net when I go back to previous pages.This is true for the deaktop IE so I dont know what the cache is suppose to do.
For EzWap it does reload from cache but maybe because I am usually surfing Wap pages.

Oh sorry I did not notice your saying that you are alright with earlier versions.
All I can say is its a mystery
Maybe we should start a poll to see how many successful wm2k3 upgraders.

opera isues

sometime when i wiew some pages example flash pages (i have flash 7) opera simply crashes, and it goes to my today screen. i cant use opera after this (only if i restart device) but its like opera still remains running in backgound and eats my ram, i cant close or kill it with any task managers. anyone encountered this on diamond? im using the original rom from htc site

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 10 questions

Is there anyway to have Opera 10 use the Tilt 2 (Stock ATT ROM) use the Zoom bar to zoom?
Also, Opera 9.5 (Stock ROM) is always loaded in the background so it loads fast, I like this. Is there an easy way to make it always load Opera 10 in the background instead of stock 9.5?

There's no way in Opera 10 to zoom using the zoom bar, 10's not built to use it, and that functionality may never be available. I would sugggest checking out the zoom bar multi-function software listed in the "software worth having on tp2" thread in this forum. Maybe a later update of this software will be able to provide this functionality, but its worth having it the way it is now. As for keeping Opera 10 loaded in memory all the time, honestly I dont know. Gotta feeling it'd use up alot of ram all the time when ur not using it though. I guess the load time never really bothered me, and I use Sense 2.5 and a lotta other crap too, so I wouldnt be able to afford that much memory for something I wasnt using

maybe try putting the opera startup or whatever that thing is in the the startup folder in windows. maybe? idk if i'm not good with all the technical lingo.

You might check out, read through, post in the "All Opera Mobile/Mini versions: Official thread"

i wish the zoom bar would work again. i hate the 2 level zoom. the back button no longer works either in 10 like it did in 10 beta. i think ill post in that thread to see if anyone can get it to.

Thanks McBrain. While that thread did not help with Zoom, it taught me how to enable auto rotate which is nice.

Opera Mobile 9 vs Opera Mobile 10

Opera Mobile seems to have an update. I installed it, but it didn't fully replace the pre-installed Opera 9. What's the deal with this new version? Is TP2 fully supported? Are most of you using 9 or 10?

opera10
Yes in opera mobile10 it has 2 key features. It features opera turbo which makes pages load faster and it features flash so you can play youtube and other flash videos

thanks. did you fully uninstall (or try to?? is it possible?) Opera 9, first? Opera 9 seems to be pretty heavily integrated with Sense/TFlo. My booksmarks in the internet tab would still open with 9?

All Opera Mobile Official Thread
For more info have a look on my signature link

the main differences between 10 and 9 is that 10 will use up so much of your memory that it will force wm to close just about all other programs. if you use any rendition of htc sense you will hover around 80 to 90 percent consumed memory with opera 10 (people will say thats not true but i have tried 10 along with every memory saving tweak out there on two phones and they are wrong). it is also slower... again people will deny this, but again it is true. Its features and UI are much better than 9 but the trade off is not worth it.

Installing Opera 10 doesn't (and can't) uninstall 9, and neither can you...it's baked in to the factory ROM
