htcalbum/opera 10 beta 3 bug, - HD2 General

Ok basically I think this may have something to do with the pagepool being set at 18mb,
for all those who have opera 10 beta 3 installed, could you try this for me
soft reboot your hd2's
load opera 10 beta 3
then click on the windows key and go into your HTCAlbum
you should not get a not enough memory available error
it works fine if opera is closed, OR if you open the gallery first (and without closing the album) then open opera 10 beta 3, as long as opera 10 beta 3 is running in the memory, you can open and close the htcalbum as much as you like, but as soon as you close opera 10 beta 3, and open it again, the htcalbum memory full error message will appear
unfortunatley I am not going to be able to change the poolsize until I get home, does anyone know what the default poolsize is on a default official rom ? is it about 12mb??
can someone confirm this bug please, than

sorry mate, can'T reproduce your error. doesn't matter how often and in which order i open/close opera beta 3 or htc album.
but i don't know if my rom has a pagepool modification... it's rtt shock rom rc3 german!

well my pagepool is set at 18mb, ive still not had a chance to play about with it, can anyone else confirm if this bug occurs on their hd2 if they have 18mb pagepool ?

If I look at the Known Issues then nothing works
ActiveX is disabled - Flash plugins and embedded video streaming do not work.
Custom software keyboards (IME) will be buggy at best, not working at worst.
No multilingual build - Only English is supported. Problems with other languages (and input methods) are not unexpected.
Installation on memory cards may cause problems.
Text wraps in overview mode.
Main testing has been done on English HTC devices (Touch Diamond, Touch Pro, Touch, Touch Dual, Touch Cruise, TyTN and Wizard) and Samsung i900.
Landscape mode does not take keyboard position into consideration.
Devices with low memory might get Out Of Memory (OOM) messages.
Opera is always running when the Widgets Manager is running.
On devices with hight DPI some of the pre-installed widgets look small.
When an URL is opened from a widget, there will be an extra browser window opened in the background that's not working properly.
Ok I installed it in my Diamond.
Its build 2723 and seems to be really fast. I installed into device and it doesn't messed up with my ROM's Opera.
The navigation is really fine but the whole widget thing is very buggy. Once you run Widgets the browser doesn't run anymore. You need to kill Opera and OperaL process or softreset. Avoiding widgets you will have a great experience.
Ok, some minutes later and I've got another impression.
Beta 2 is fast and render better some pages (gmail in normal view for example) but its unusable. The shortcut calls sometimes default Opera, sometimes the beta version. Always when I close beta version it displays widgets and i cant open the browser again. Download only for testing purposes.

You have two versions of Opera installed on your device simultaneously... expect problems!
Doesn't seem to take advantage of the accelerometer in the Diamond.
Wow, sad to see that Opera still sucks so much.
Also their forums are full of rants and the mods over there keep censoring and deleting forum postings and even whole threads.
Don't know what's going on, but commercial WM development is getting worse with every day. Just look at CorePlayer, STILL no fixed build for the Diamond, they even don't manage to put a build out which at least fixes the every now and then hickup while playing music.
On the other hand underground development is going higher every day, as seen in this forum.

Installed the build 2723 and removed the previous Opera9 and OperaL. Indeed, the speed is impressive! Opera Browser is now automatically loaded after each soft rest, however. Is there any way to avoid the auto-load after soft rest? As in the precious setting, I prefer to open/load the Opera Browser when needed in order to save memory.
Also, if Opera Browser is closed after being loaded into the memory (at the soft reset), it can't be re-opened without another soft rest. Any one encounters the same and may have solutions?
Can anyone please make the Beta 2 as an vga SD version...

Opera...which freaking version?

Ok, I hope I dont get ripped into for this..but I couldnt find the answer.
I always found the web browsing experience pretty woeful on my X1...esp compared to the ifone. When you scroll up/down its juddery, giving me the two grey squares until it catches up on itself. Its really bad. I have installed various versions of Opera...the one I have stuck with is the version i found on this forum...when zooming you use an invisible scroll top right on the screen (does that make sense?)
Anyhoo, I then installed the superb Touch-it4.5...the version of opera in it is truely awesome! The juddering was gone, silky smooth and had a zoom button bottom left which worked even better than the version I was using...but...the hardware keyboard didnt work (I noticed a few other people had the same issue and the fix was to install another version). When going back, its all juddery again...did anybody get a fix for that version? What version does everybody else use as there are so many floating about.
Also, a little of topic but I was reading about a version of Opera (only on the symbian os so far?) that when you are presented with a bunch of buttons or text boxes (say for example a login/pass box) you simply click on them and it enlarges the boxs to full screen automatically and makes it alot easier to put in usernames/passes etc.
Thanks in advance folks, maybe once we get a complete fool proof guide we could stick the findings into the x1 tweaks, apps and panels thread!

Unfortunately the working and non-working items are all within the Opera9.exe itself:
1. Vibration
2. Scroll with optical pad
3. Zoom with volume buttons
4. HW keyboard interaction.
5. PushInternet support
So there's very little chance of a "perfect" Opera version. I use 15991 with Zoom enabled on a PI enabled ROM or 15696 on a non-PI ROM.
You could try and switch on "Smooth Scrolling" in opera:config and see if that helps with the judderiness...
You should wait for 9.7 to be released
I had the exact same issue.
I downloaded Opera 9.5 BETA and it works a charm. The UI is slightly different (colours) to the one installed with 4.5 Touch-IT ROM but it works perfectly for me.
The only issue is that I have to launch it as a seperate program from my start menu. I cannot seem to make it my default browser (I have no idea how to do that!) and how to get the Internet tab "launch browser" to launch Opera 9.5 and not the standard Opera.
Also if you run the standard Opera installed with 4.5 Touch-IT ROM, close it and then try to run Opera 9.5 BETA, it only loads the standard Opera, not 9.5.
I have to turn my phone off and back on to solve this and start using 9.5 from my start menu.
Long winded but its how I cope..
Opera 9.5 b2 with Gears
I use the gears version now.
I had so many problems with logging into sites with the version that ships with the phone that I gave up. The stock version only plays lip-service to being able to use flash anyway so I don't feel I'm losing out.
Also, the caching and navigation to previous pages is way faster in the gears version of the browser. Occasionally it slows down and thinks about things for a little while, and it forcing back to the default keyboard every time you try to enter stuff into a text-box, but its a beta after all so what do you expect?!
Obviously the gears version doesn't have flash support but I can't say I've missed that, since the stock version wasn't that hot anyway ;o)

If you paste the Opera9.exe, OperaL.exe and setup.dll files in to \Windows Manila will launch whatever version is there - for the second point II think the Manila files need ameding - haven't loooked yet though.

Opera freezes the phone

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.

Opera closing in Stock 6.5 ROM

Hi,
Have noticed that in stock 6.5, frequently when I open Opera up I am back to the HTC search screen, one tab open, like opera has just restarted, seems to be closing of its own accord while it should be running in the background. Anyone else have this? I want it to stay running so that when I open it up it still has my open tabs.
I just use the end call button to exit opera btw... don't use the close option from the popup menu.
pK
Is it being closed automatically in the background by WM when memory gets low?
I get this too. I applied a registry change to my phone for opera to help make web links clickable without having to zoom in. I guessed that this was the issue?? as I had it on 6.1 and now on 6.5 and I made that change to both.

Could be... not sure how I'd tell... though that is plausible as 6.5 does seem very leaky memory wise, even compared to 6.1!
Frequently have memory up at 85% plus with no apps open after a day or so
If you want Opera runs always in the background change:
HKLM\Software\HTC\PushInternet\Enable
0--->1
This will cost you about 9,5 MB of memory.

opera hd2 and newer opera 10 togeather

hi all is it possible to run both the default opera and the newest opera together on same device, maybe install one to the storage card would it work
I'm using the beta Opera 10 from SD card and it works fine (very impressive). I did not delete the original version. It's handling of drop-down selection lists is particularly user-friendly. But only the original version will change to landscape mode when you tip the HD2 sideways.

there's an updated version that supports rotation. but still no pinch to zoom
I'll try it. Meanwhile, I like to 'tap screen to zoom' that Opera 10 does more than the pinch. It works like the closeup function on the HD2 camera.
just add the window class to the reg or use bsb tweaks to enable landscape.
beta 2 does seem as happy run of sd as it does in main memory. just remember to set the caches to storage card.
both apps are installed in different folders so they don't conflict.
I installed the beta 2 of opera 10 and i still have the orginal (Installed Opera 10 to phone) gonna delete the original, well at least for now.
OK ALL THANKYOU
so i can install to storage and the default opera will be untouched, great news ill try the latest beta then,
where do i get the latest beta as their no many which is newest
Try: http://www.opera.com/mobile/download/
When installing opera 10 is it possible for the web tab of sense 2.5 to open quick link favourites in this instead of the pre-installed opera version? Is it just a case of setting it as default? If this is the case would any browser work ie skyfire?
can you enable flash in the beta?
hi
do you know how to set as the default browser?
I didn't do it when instaling
try uninstall and installing again.
beta2 works great. improvement in almost/all every aspect
Runs much faster and overall great improvement. Now all that is missing is multitouch zoom and flash support and we are 99% satisfied!
In fact, you can install both in SD or device memory. They application has a different name. One is Opera and the other is Opera 10.
hi ,
how to install the old opera ? i installed the new opera 10
but can't find the old ver in the program manager
how to uninstall?

The new version, 10 Beta 2u also auto-rotates to landscape mode.
What are the improvements over Opera 9 and are there any negatives?
- The negative point for Opera 9 in my opinion is that most of the time it wants to open the web page in 'mobile' version by default. This only reasons is so boring that it made me prefere Opera 10.
- With Opera 10 you will lose the Pinch & zoom.
Wow this new beta 2 is great! This version Does rotate without having to use tweaks. Browsing is wonderful!!
reset default browser to 9.7
for those that want the 9.7 as default browser try this
in opera 9 type
opera:
in the address bar. Then hit preferences and do a search for "first". A list should appear with something like first launch. tick this box, then hit save. exit opera. Open opera 9. it should now be default browser.
