Just wondering if the Google search can be changed to be country specific ie. from google.com to google.co.uk
sorry title should read Opera 10 beta not Opera 10th (the hd2 text prediction isn't very good)
I'm also searching for the same answer, mine gives results in German and Spanish randomly!
same with me, it keeps diverting me to a german google search or the german htc website instead of a uk one, although i'm using Opera 9.7 that comes preinstalled
Just found out that if you click on the down arrow on the google search box you can manage the search engine but the google one is greyed out. Anyone know if this can be changed (possibly through opera:config)

Hello!
I am using Touch dual with 20 keys keyboard, chinese version.
I have got a little problem in my H/W keyboard with Opera Mobile. Cannot input characters in address bar... only the numbers can be show.
Any idea??? Thanks!
I have an HTC Branded Touch Dual 20 Key English Version (Dont know if its WWE)
I dont have any problems typing with the keypad in abc, or XT9 in Opera mini 4 at all; I dont know how different this is from Opera Mobile. Opera Mini is a java/midlet app and I think Opera Mobile is a full blown application. Hope this helps in your research.
If you need additional information, let me know what you are looking for, like version or rom info.
Thanks

I think this is a bug in the keypad because the same thing happened to me when I was writing an SMS the other day! I closed the SMS and terminated the messaging app and then reopened and it was fine. No idea what caused it...
Nope, and it's not the first Phone where the hardware keyboard only type numbers in opera mobile.
Asus Phones with T9 Keyboards have the same problem.
So seems to be really a opera problem.
Opera mini works because keyboard is handlet by the midlet manager (jbed on the star) and not by opera itself.
Getting the same issues on my 20 Key version also.
My keyboards is using the first character on the button for example in the address bar and I right say i.e. facebook
it will display 4a718oo6
I am getting this same same problem in IE on the device.
Say I want to check my mail at yahoo mail
Username filed keyboard works fine
Password field keyboard will act like it does in the address bar in Opera.
How are you guys entering details in the password filed are you not able to use the slide out keyboard for this?
same issue on my 20 key version. However, the browser DO work with keyboard on the touch screen. In essence, our input method just got narrow down to the ones onscreen. cannot use the slide out keypad.

Another difference is that Opera Mobile ($24 USD) allows you to save image from the browser whereas the mini (FREE) does not.
Same issue here. I have installed "Goodlink" on my DUAL - same Problem. I every good application (mail, calendar, notes etc.) you cannot use the keyboard.
Also Mozilla MINIMO hv the same problem.
When type something only number are displayed.
HI, I have recently bought Touch Dual and experienced the same problem with Goodlink. Could you find a solution? Thanks

Interesting,, I thought it was just me, but my 20 key dual is the same as you describe. So far I've noticed only opera mini 4 is an issue and I've been using the on screen virtual kb for that.
I have same problem on my 16Key T-Mobile MDA Touch Plus. Hardware keyboard types numbers only in Opera Mobile, Composing/replying to email or sms. Very frustrating, have to use touch keyboard all the time.
If anyone has a fix for this, let us know!
try this...a more permanent fix would be great tho...
It happens to me when im texting to, Orange Touch, unlocked to Tmobile. I find the easiest way around it is this:
After selecting reply to a text message and then opening the keyboard to type, close the text you were going to write.
Then find the text and click on reply again.
It should then let you type letters ok. (keep the keypad open)
Bit of a pain so a fix would be great but this is what im doing to work around it at the mo.
Im guessing if you have the keypad open then opening opera would solve it.
Hope this helps.
I am the same problem, 16key, problem is with VITO SMS CHAT. Not only does the 16key not work, but also the touch keypad doesnt work, it doesnt rotate the letters but types all. example: Pressing 5(j-k-L) three times consecutively, type J-K-L, where it suppose to type L only.
I have yet to try this with opera, but haven't installed it yet.
has anyone found a fix yet for the opera problem?
I've noticed that this problem doesn't occur when using the dutch vodafone stock rom...
I can't find the needed files.
Edit: O, it seems that the problem still exist in the addresbar... the problem with entering passwords is gone though....
I had the issue where it would only use the touchpad in the address bar on the native T-Mobile ROM.
I'm now using the Opal keyboard (patched for the Nike) and everything is fine.
I read that google maps are included on this- can anyone tell me if they are cacheable or do you have to DL them each time you use them? I can imagine data charges skyrocketing if they dont.....
maybe i will just stick tomtom on it.....
Once the data is downloaded initially, it is then cached. However, when you zoom in or out, it has to refresh and that is downloaded as well. But once you have it, it's saved.
can i do this from a wifi connection at home (free)?
Sorry, Google Maps does insist on an active internet connection when you try and run it, so that it can download as required. I doubt there's a way to spoof it. You're probably better off getting TomTom or iGo or something.

Yes you can....am doing with my diamond!
Google Maps? Where to find...
I also have my HD now for about a week now, and searched for Google just to try it out. However, I still haven't found it anywere; nor on on CD, neither on my HD (which they direct you to from the manual; Start - Programs - Google Maps). Are there different versions going round with or without it? I read somewhere that another dutch man had it on his one....

It's a lot easier to go directly to www.google.com/gmm...
By the way, it was not installed on mine (WWE version, bought in Switzerland)
its on the programs page, middle slot, top row.
@Rolud: Thanks for the link! Going to try it out (although I read that TT is better to use though...).
@indup: I tried both from Touch3D programs, all programs and from WM programs section, all were not showing up Google... But I've installed it now via the link of Rolud.
I guess there are different models out then; with and without Google Maps pre-installed. Would like to know more differences between them actually...

I hope its finally possible to get GPS working! I tried a lot of different versions of google Maps on my Hermes with external bluetooth GPS Keychain 2000, I never succeed to get it work. It realy s*cks!
Maybe the UK version has Google Maps, but the Dutch version doesn't? And that other person you mentioned had one that wasn't from Holland?
The other Dutch person also have an WWE version, just like me (don't know who exactly, but just read it somewhere here at another tread which I cannot find anymore due to the many treads and pages there are from HD users... ).
But I got it installed now, and at the HD it is working with GPS without any problems. It even got a good GPS signal although I'm in my room and it was very well positioned (2 to 3 meters difference)!
It also looks great on the screen of the HD
Some versions don't have Google Maps preinstalled.
Was looking at the HD at a shop the other day and there was no Google Maps on it, and the manual says
10.1 Google Maps (Available by Country)

My Belgian bought WWE version with firmware 401 didn't have Google Maps, but then I flashed it with the latest WWE firmware 405 release (made after the date I received mine apparanty) and that one did have google maps by default.
All the other european language ones I've seen so far all have the 401 level of firmware.
So with the ones delivered from now on, there might be Google maps installed with non WWE devices that have a 405 level firmware on them.
I bought mine today, and it has GMM preinstalled on it.
Mine didn't have GM preinstalled either
UK version bought in Belgium
ROM version: 1.14.401.3 (22273) WWE
It was not pre-installed on my HTC Touch HD. I could not follow the link win Opera. I used IE to download Google Maps and install. Hopefully it detected the correct version.
Much better getting Tomtom. If you're using google maps, with gps and 3G hard at work, you're gobbling the battery something insane.
I'm more curious to how to get GM as a tab like Manila2D had.
Hi guys i have t-mobile touch pro 2 with original rom and tmobile tp2 coming with pre installed google maps and when i check the version it was an old version and when i go to on my opera browser and type m.google.com/maps for downloading the new Google maps its giving me an and its saying on webpage (( sorry Google maps application dose not work on your Touch HD )) now i want to know are you guys have same issue ? is there anyway i can upgrade my Google map of my phone ? please guys help me out.
thank you
Yep, I also have this problem when attemptimg to update the version of google maps as well. I was under the impression that they have not created a version for the TP2 since it is so new to the US, but have no idea.
Google Maps
Which version of Google Maps are you trying to upgrade to? i just went through the IE browser and downloaded an update to Google Map to version 3.2.1 it was a version 2.2 something?
i updated to 3.2.1 no problem at all.
However, check the bing search application. I almost hate to say it, but it really is excellent and does voice recognitions as well!
I used Opera to attempt to update from 2.2 to 3.2.1. I also have a T-mobile branded TP2. Another weird things I have read is that the T-Mobile TPS is not called the Rhodium but the Tungsten. I am curious if this has something to do with it. I will attempt to update using IE instead of Opera to see if this resolves the issue.
EDIT: I just updated to version 3.2.1 using Internet Explorer instead of Opera and it worked perfectly. If Swagger did not state he used IE I would never have thought of this. Thanks!

don't pay attention to this stupid stuff. Its the Rhodium. Look on the inside of your battery compartment & it says Rhod230 or something like that.
Maybe someone knows how to solve this one:
Open opera 9.7 on your hd2. go to the XDA developers website.
Click "search" on the upper right. search for anything. this should Bring up the google search results for XDA-developers.
Then inside the google page search again for anything - the device will freeze!
This is happening on several sites, not related specifically to searches, but the XDA search is a good example. it is driving me nuts as I need to reset the device.
It does not happen with Opera 10, just with 9.7.
Running ROM 1.48.405.2

Yesterday i had also 2 freezes on www.pocketpc.ch so i must reset my device.
I am running 1.48.407.1 and there is Opera build 35571 inside, this was newer than in 1.43 Rom.
I have tested yet on xda search but no problem at the moment, it works fine.

Got the same many times.
The most simple steps are:
- run the browser
- enter some text into the search field (e.g.: hd2 duplicated picturs )
- try to clear back some chars to correct a type
Thats all... after pressing the backspace it freezes - only soft reset helps
I also got same lock-ups for various sites many times:
- pushing backspace
- changing keyboard to numeric
- rotating the screen while the keyboard is active
I have 1.48.479.1 (71294) WWE - with Hungarian localization and Sunnysoft InterWrite Pro (HTC Leo hu).
Do You have any idea to solve this very-very annoying issue?
R, Janos
how do I change the language to english in opera as at the moment its set to something else, cheers....
I also keep been sent to the mobile version of the sites I visit although I have the button unchecked in settings.any ideas why....?
im on opera 10 final by the way.
