Does anyone have a solution for running Talkonaut and Opera Mini 4 at the same time? They're both java apps. Jbed doesn't support running multiple MIDlets so I tried TOA and both will start up but then they both crash while Talkonaut loads. Jbed runs a little faster anyway.
Also, does anyone know how to minimize Opera when running in Jbed? It runs fullscreen and I can't get access to the close button which allows me to minimize apps. In TOA it runs windowed so I can minimize it. Even if I could minimize Opera then I could run Talkonaut in TOA and Opera in Jbed.
The reason I'm using Talkonaut is because the MSN app that comes with WM6 seems to say all my contacts are offline when they aren't and it's the only client I've found that supports HTTP binding for GTalk (needed when using wifi at school since there's no cell signal).
Thanks for any help you can provide. Sorry if this is in the wrong section or has basic questions in it. I'm a noob to these phones.
And yes, I did Google, search the forums, and read the MIDlets Guide I saw on here somewhere...
Greetings all,
Opera Mini 4 is one of the best browsers out there for any phone (regular phone or smartphone). Before getting the Touch, I had been using Opera Mini to surf the web on my regular phone.
One of the most convenient features in Opera Mini was the ability to use "Power Scrolling Shortcuts". Where you can scroll around on the web pages quickly by using the phone's number keys. Press 2 to go up, 4 to go left, 6 to go right and 8 to go down. Hitting 5 zooms you in and out.
The Touch isn't able to take advantage of the "power scrolling" because of its lack of of a keypad. Is there a way I can customize or map my D-pad to power scroll?
I've searched far and wide but with no solution in sight. I've also tried VITO ButtonMapper with no luck.
Thanks in advance for your inputs!

I'm surprised you can get OperaMini to run on the Touch! Every time I load it and run it, I get a Java runtime error. But I loved it on my last phone.

Yeah, I also had the same issue until I downloaded Cloudyfa's Jbed Midlet Manager. You can find it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1483665
This Jbed midlet manager seems to run faster and more stable than the one installed with Sprint's Touch. Additionally, it makes more efficient use of your screen by allowing Opera Mini to run in full screen mode.
umm... for me it's already set up like this. i just use the d-pad to scroll around the page.
is that what you mean? though the only way to zoom out is to hit the on-screen button.
ive heard of some people using opera mini. did you guys just download the one straight from opera website? or where?
its much faster right?
id like to get it if it is..
go to www.mini.opera.com in internet explorer and it will do the rest After install It will not show up on programlist. Its javabased i think so it will show up when you press "E" javabutton
I have a problem with opera mini:
after few minutes that I use the program when I try to open a link it stops to work the screens goes blank and I must quit program, has anyother the same problem?
Im using opera mobile fine, besides the onscreen keyboard popping up.
Someone made a cab to edit this before, but cand find it..
Do you mean NullKeyboard? I don't have any problems with Opera Mini. I do with the normal Opera.. ..while typing the keyboard disappears and then I can't use the keyboard of the Pro either..
yea nullkeyboard did not work
Same problem here. That's why I use Oper Mini and Skyfire to overcome that problem
Been using Iris, puts Opera to shame (other than flash)

Opera Mini 5.1 for Windows Mobile is here!
The long-awaited Opera Mini 5.1 for Windows Phone 6.5, Windows Mobile 6, Windows Mobile 5, and Windows Mobile 2003 based handsets has finally arrived. We have worked days and nights to improve on every aspect of the browser and make it integrate even better with the Windows Mobile platform. Some highlights include default browser functionality and a completely rewritten IME solution that taps directly into the device's own input method. A big thanks to all our users on Windows Mobile who have waited so patiently for this release.
NEW FEATURES
- Ability to set Opera Mini as default browser on the device.
- Support for g-sensor screen rotation on HTC and Samsung devices.
- Support for predictive input if the device supports it natively.
- Improved page layout on high-resolution screens.
- Improved kinetic scrolling.
- Use HQVGA skin for devices with less than QVGA resolution.
- Installer is now signed with VeriSign so Opera Mini will be a trusted application on your handset.
- Alternative installer that works on Windows Mobile 2003 Pocket PC devices.
- Advanced configuration in registry for power-users (see here for more information).
BUG FIXES
- Multitap input is working on 'classic' keypad devices.
- Input is working on qwerty keypad devices by Samsung and Amoi.
- Keypad shortcuts working on more devices.
- Ability to download files to memory card.
- Clock in Opera Mini is correct in all time zones now.
- Spanish locale is correctly detected.
- URLs and downloaded files can be passed to other applications as a platform request.
- Many bug fixes in Opera Mini browser core for stability and rendering accuracy.
NOTES
- Opera Mini 5.1 will be installed in parallel with Opera Mini 5.0 beta if the latter is already installed on your device.
- Opera Mini 5.1 will not import existing user data from Opera Mini 5.0 beta. Please consider using Opera Link to bring over bookmarks and speed dials to the new version.
- When set as default browser, Opera Mini 5.1 will not be the default viewer application for html files or other web page related files that may exist locally on your device.
To download Opera Mini 5.1 for Windows Mobile handsets visit http://m.opera.com/ on your phone or http://www.opera.com/mobile/download/pc/ on your PC.

Opera Mini = Amazing
It is much faster and more fluid scrolling than either Skyfire or Opera mobile.
Coming from Android (and iPhone before that) the Hd2 was lacking a great web browsing experience but No More!
OMini 5 beta was nice, but I love the better scrolling in 5.1! I've been using OMini as my browser since my Wizard.
Does 5.1 support pinch-to-zoom?

I responded in the TmoUS HD2 thread but here you go:
i have always used mini in mobile view but iirc when a page is zoomed out it'll auto zoom to wherever you tap on the page. i don't think there is pinch to zoom.

One wierd thing for me is if I press the home button while in landscape then Opera Mini sticks on the screen and doesnt go away unless I power off the phone. If I press the home button while in portrait its fine and goes away.
Anyone else having this problem?

No pinch to zoom but all you do is tap on the screen once and it zooms in perfectly.

It's because the HD2 doesn't do landscape for the home tab. Next time you do that, just hit the start menu button & bring back OMini or any other app that does do landscape (sms, albums, file explorer) & then go back to portrait & then hit home. I ran in to this when using Comic Reader Mobi
Does anyone know how clearing the cache memory works on Opera Mini?
On the Opera Mobile browser it would have an option in the security settings to clear cache so the browser wouldnt slow down but I dont see that option on Opera Mini.
Ive done google searches for "opera mini clear cache" but didnt find anything conclusive. Mostly was blackberry users assuming that the clear history option in settings also clears the cache. One person also said the cache gets cleared when you exit the browser?
Does anyone with alot of Opera experience know how clearing the cache works on Opera Mini?

Your a wise man thank you for letting me know =)
So there is no pinch to zoom? can someone confirm that?
If there is no pinch to zoom, i'm not gonna use it, because I really want to keep using pinch to zoom!

Do you like the 5 mini, and why?
I've set it as default for it a week. Yes it loads faster, and the 9-grid home screen thumbnails looks better than the HD2 2-column thumbnails. I'm however switching back to the stock Opera 9.7 now. Things I don't like about Opera Mini 5:
Full screen or not, it hides my top bar, and together with it my battery indicator, clock, close button. I can't easily launch anything else or switch to another running program.
no way to minimize browser to go back to where I was
Really hates the complicated seqeunce to close the browser with the mandatory yes/no.
I can't find a way to add search providers to the search box. Well I can't modify the Opera google search either, but Opera Mini has an interface to look as if it can be configured (at least I can delete entries other than google) while not allowing me to add new entries.
force chinese language upon me. I have no idea why but all my settings are in chinese and I cannot find a way to get back to english.
Are there ways to circumvent this list of annoyances?
Does anybody know where I can find documentation on Opera Mini? I've found documentation on Opera, but they do not seem applicable to Opera Mini.

hit the back button & then your back at HTC Sense

that's what the back button is for. this doesn't do like OMobile where the back button actually goes back a page

I agree I wish you could edit this, but meh...

one of the links in my post goes to a post on Opera's site & discusses registry edits. I know there's one to change the language, maybe you need to do that.

As much as I like pinch zoom I must say that I absolutely LOVE the 1 touch super zoom of Opera Mini =)

I personally put in the edit to stop the auto rotate
ha i use the back button all the time!
Argh
I wanted to love Opera Mini. I love the quick zoom/scroll effects.
BUT after using it for a few days I've found annoyances that keep it from being a better browser than Opera Mobile.
- Certain websites take FOREVER to load (some sites load quicker than Opera Mobile i.e. Google searches, but Xda loads slllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllooooooooooowwww)
- Certain websites dont work correctly and doesn't go to the next page when I click the link
- Can't log into certain websites like I can with Opera Mobile
- When I try to reply to XDA threads it reloads the entire page after I type something in the reply box.
- Cant clear cache memory like I can with Opera Mobile
- Cant exit Opera Mini in landscape by pressing home button since it locks up the phone
- Cant use physical back button to go back a page like you can with Opera Mobile
Oh well...
I like Opera mini too as it is a lot smoother than opera mobile. I do have one issue though:
When you enter a url, it will automatically load the mobile version if available. Not all the mobile site have a link back to their full web site so it is impossible to go to a normal page for some sites.

The problems I listed with Opera Mini are ones that I don't have with Opera Mobile. So for me, it doesn't happen with Opera Mobile...
