So I am using opera 9.7.
1) If I go to settings >> Advanced>> and slide the cache size up to 10000KB, what are the benefits? The negatives? What is the best cache size I should leave it at?
2) After opera load the entire page, it doesn't remember it. I mean, if I scroll down a long page (ie. engadget) and back up quickly, it tends to give me blank white areas that eventually show what was there before. But this happen only if I scroll very fast up and down. Is there any way for opera to keep what it loaded without disappearing no matter how fast I was scrolling?
24 hr re-bump.
Lemonspeakers:
Can't speak to the cache, but as far as the blank white that you see on scrolling, I found that changing some of opera's buffer settings solved that for me. I open the registry to HKLM\Software\Opera\Info and change "Browser Buffer Height" dword to 3072 and Browser Buffer Width dword to 2048 and softreset. It's essentially just doubling their default decimal values. To be clear, this is for 9.7. Let me know if it works.
EDIT: Sorry Lemospeakers, I tested the tweak on the Engadget site and still got some blank white, albiet it disappeared almost instantly as I was going along, it was still there and you're looking to get rid of it in its entirety.

Yes, I just tried it an I don't notice a difference.
Can anyone help out? My question is on the first post.
Imagine it as a swimming pool. The bigger your pool, the more people you can have in there at once. With a smaller pool, sometimes you have to ask a few people in there to leave so others can come in.
Similarly with the cache size, the bigger the cache (say, 10mb in this case with 9.7), the more website contents will be save, allowing the page to render quicker the next time you visit. I'd say just leave it at 10mb, so the same content doesn't have to be re-downloaded and saved as often.
Your second question is referring to what is called the "checkerboard" effect. Personally, I think that's generally the CPU/GPU's part to render the page as quickly as possible. Pretty much every smartphones imaginable go through that "problem" when you scroll up and down too fast. I can't tell you for sure why a 1Ghz processor with 576mb of RAM produce checkerboards (im not a programmer)...maybe this is the missing link between laptop/desktops and mobile computing.
Humm.. I'lll look into how to remove the checkerboard effect. In the mean time anyone know how?
If you are looking for a performance boost involving the cache, i can recommend using a ramdisk and put the opera cache on there.
I use an 8.5 meg opera cache on a 30 meg ramdisk, (hidden, because it messes with the documents tab if you have it showing) and my opera, internet explorer, and system temp are also set to use that.
Opera really flies along, and the system happily uses it for its TempPath, and best of all, being a ramdisk, it gets cleared by a soft reset.
Plus it helps utilise some of that fat ram we have sitting there doing nothing on a 576 enabled rom.

Sure. I use a cab file to set up the ramdisk, and in the reg key
HKLM/System/StorageManager/Profiles/RamDisk there is a Dword called MountHidden with a value 0. (if it exists at all). Set/change that to 1, and you can no longer see the ramdisk in any filemanager, but the system can still use it for its cache and what not.

Ahh ok, i sort of know what you mean. SOmetimes when i scroll it leaves half teh screen showing what was there a second before, so for instance a list of numbers 1 - 6 might become
1
2

4 3

a quick movement always cures it, so im not that fussed by it in truth. No white / grey boxes though.
I have no issues at all with the browsing on 9.7. (Well, flash might be nice, but im not that heavy a flash site user.)

If I try to search anything on Google Images, all I get is a blank page.
In single column view, I get everything except the pictures i.e. search field, page numbers, other little graphics etc.
In default view, I get a total blank page.
In desktop view I get a blank page again but I also a horizontal scrollbar with it.
The odd thing is that if I view the source of the results page, it's all there, it just doesn't load at all. I have checked by installing Opera and Google Images displays fine but I don't want to keep Opera.
Any ideas on what's causing this?
Thanks
Anyone have any ideas?
Sounds obvious but you have got PIE set to display images haven't you (Menu-View-Show Pictures).
Sorry if that sounds patronising but it usually is fogetting the obvious
Sounds to me like PIE is a bit screwed, either that or your registry settings are a bit fubared...
Personally I like to use both Opera and PIE, because PIE can load SWFs (provided you've installed the PPC Flash Player 7 cab, of course) so I can get my Weebl and Bob fix, but Opera is just so much better at rendering pages, and its download manager is far superior... And it feels less clunky... And it can do FTP... and... well, just use both side by side for a while and you'll realise it's not a bad investment
Weebl and bob on the phone, what a fantastic idea. <off to load Flash 7>
apologies for my previous post, when I wrote it my phone connection wasn't working so I couldn't try it out. I also am experiencing exactly the same problem as described. Would say it's most likely down to PIE not being able to interpret the script used by the Google Images page.
Yeah, i agree!

Ok, running default Opera, which is 9.5 build 2682.
1. I can't click unless I zoom in. Very annoying. Any way to change this?
2. There are a few things, like now ability to have popups, I think and maybe page redirects that are preventing me from logging into my dispatch website. is there any info on this?

I have not received my HD yet but have used many versions of Opera 9.5. Some versions can do this, and some can't but you can check.
Type Opera:config into the address, then under adaptive zoom, see if you can find an entry called "Minimum overview zoom". Like I said, some version of opera 9.5 has this, and some don't. If it is there, then you're lucky. Just change it to 85%. You should be able to click and activate the links without zooming in now. (please exit and restart the browser first though).
Please let me know if that helps. I'm still waiting for my HD, which is supposed to arrive this morning.
Sweet, that seemed to work.
I see that it still chugs evrytime I visit my login page, which never changes. Shouldn't this be kept in the cache, so it pops right up?
Maybe I need to increase the browser cache from deafault?

Not sure about the inabiilty to use the pop up. Just taking a guess here, so please don't nail me for doing so. I think it may be that your website uses Java technology which has only works on PC?? I have some bank account logins which also do not work. May be the same kinds of problem.
If it is very important to use that website on your phone and Opera cannot do it, you might want to try other browsers to see if you have better luck. One such browser is Netfront 3.5.
Hope this helps. Sorry that I can't be of more useful assistanct.
That's all helpful info, bro, I appreciate it!
It could even have something to do with flash, I get the same erro rwith the installed version of IE.

Yes, could very well be the case.
If you're not dealing with very confidential information, there is also a possibilty of server based browser, which hopefully will be ble to handle some of those stuffs.
Note that disabling this "annoyance" also disables your ability to fire mouseover events, which are sometimes required to activate dropdown menus.
How do you mean?

I also wonder why they do not make it that way.
My guess is that most phone has very very small screen. At their screen size, it is impossible to read in zoom in mode, so they assume that you need to zoom in anyway before you click.
My present device is Athena (5 inch screen), so even at zoom out mode, we can read very clearly. It makes no sense to have to do the zooming in again before clicking on the link. HD's screen size is not quite that of Athena but is also big enough to read in zoom out mode. So, this tweak makes sense for us, although considered not necessary for the smaller screen phones.
Perhaps I would repost this in the tips and tricks thread.

Damn opera is faster now!
a few things im missing from the built in one tho,
1 it doesnt move to landscape when i flip my hd, any easy way to get this to work?
2 it doesnt support the hd's back button
So whats so great about this? How do I make it my default browser as opposed to the Opera already on my Pro?

Thanks. How do I keep this thing from starting up on boot? Its really annoying and I don't see it in the Windows startup folder.
using it now and there is a number of announces going on. I don't know it's the skin but:
1) if the page (in full screen) is loading and I scroll/pan it will jump out of full screen mode. however, if the page finished loading and I scroll/pan it stays in full screen mode.
2)screen/skin response is a bit laggy at times. I really feels it is skin related because if I click a link in my RSS reader to open in opera it would show that the page is loading but doesn't show that a new tab is open until after (roughly) 10 seconds (where as in earlier builds it is shown immediately). I think this is somehow related to the jumping out of full screen problem.
EDIT
3) when double tap to zoom in, the wait it to focus is a bit longer than usual. restarted and this problem went away.
4) I really prefer the zoom slider at the bottom of the page a) because it's much smoother and responsive, b) because I'm left handed so it's better access.
good things:
1) I like that as you type the text area follows along, even though I have a good size screen I know smaller screen users would appreciate this.
2)it seems faster but some of the discrepancies I mentioned above sort of made this improvement moot.
3) it uses sip that is set at default (tested with TouchPal)
4) got a 59/100 in acid3 test (I think the test is somewhat flawed because it seems network dependent, I ran the test 3 times, I got 59, 57, 60. so I took the middle value of the 3. if I should use the average of these 3 it would be 58.6666∞, technically 59)
5) scroll velocity is back. but it doesn't "refresh" the page as you scroll/pan, so you'll be seeing a lot of gray area even if your height and width buffers are set up to 1028 (although this size helps a lot while reducing velocity to 150).
all in all, I will be using it.
** for those who can't enter text/comment on xda after hitting the "post reply" button while using opera, all you have to do is set user agent spoof to 3 in the config. for the last 5 builds I had to do this to be able to post comments here. not everyone has this problem.
** can anyone post the "image.css" file that should be found in the folder "opera9\styles\"
Guys, if anyone of you used Opera 2520, how does this compare to it? Just wanted some insights that's all!
All the best!
What does "Full Flash support" mean? Youtube (and some other sites) only like in previous versions, or is it really FULL flash support now?
I really doubt it's full flash. It won't do CNN, Yahoo, ESPN, etc. videos. It does some of them at least on my 2520 version.
Yeah the flash addon just makes it really slow. Gonna disable it.
I cannot tell if it's flash that's making it slow, i know those darn stupid scripts make it slow! disabling it is real fast but only do it to websites that don't use those stupid scripts!

disable "delay script execution" in config maybe that will help.
I post this here and not in the General section, because I'm interested specifically about best configuration for the X1.

Anything that comes to mind peeps. Post it for the win!
Just curious - is there a reason you're using 9.5 versus 9.7?
Anyways, I changed the adaptive zoom to 480 to make verticle reading much nicer.
Under performance, I increased "the Max Connections Server" to 12-16, "Max Connections Total" to 32, and disabled "Reduce Max Persistent HTTP Connections"
Turning on "Automatic memory cache" under user prefs made Opera non responsive and crash happy.
Other than that - it runs well; hasn't crashed on me yet.
Yeah I actually use Opera 9.7 which is much superior,
besides it has a screwed upload.
In 9.7 increased possible tabs open to 5,
plus changed:
Go to "User prefs"
3) Uncheck "UAProf URL enabled" to disable mobile view

Sorry to go off topic, but to you guys using 9.7b, what bugs are introduced, and what features do we lose that we had before? I'm guessing volume button zooming, and smooth touchpad scrolling are two features that get lost...unless you hack them back in.
I've always had issues when changing from the oem Opera version on past HTC devices, so that's why I'm asking, and that's why I haven't bothered to upgrade, and maybe whey orelsei hasn't either.
Back on topic, how do you get the scrolling rate to be go further/faster in Opera with each finger flick?
The biggest difference was the hardware button scrolling, but i found the overall hw acellerated scrolling more preferable. Just a personal preference.
The only bug I've noticed repeatedly is sometimes when clicking that star button for your favorites, it opens up with a scroll bar on the right. When that happens, I am unable to scroll down the list via finger - dpad only. This seems to happen when Opera is still loading a page and I suddenly click the menu tab and click favorites. (or so I've noticed)
Odd bug, if I use the HW keyboard to type in something at the address or search bars, pressing the enter key just dismisses the bar and opera switches back to full screen reading. I need to actually press the graphical button on the screen to get Opera to open the address/search I typed in. I'm not sure if that's how it's supposed to work though.
doministry's tips are cool though - I hate it when some websites insist they show you the mobile version regardless of your prefereces.
Off topic, but Opera Mini 5 is MUCH fasterif you use that turbo mode setting. It's on average +2x faster on my X1 than Opera 97b1 with Turbo mode on. I with 97b was that fast... can't have everything I guess.
So to you guys using OperaMobile 9.7:
how to set the browser to store downloads to Card?
Lately everything is stored to internal memory, even when I choose a memory card!
@orelsi
Well, you must admit with 9.5 we were also beta testers!
As for 9.5 vs 9.7, I appreciate much faster menus and less crashes
(however the flash support is still a pain...)
By using UserScript you can hide the adverts in 9.7 (and I'm guessing 9.5)

Great tips and info guys! That's exactly what I meant for this thread. I guess it should be about all Opera version not 9.5 only. The more, the better .

I mean that 9.7 is still in beta, while 9.5 is a finished product. I have no doubt that I will change to 9.7 when the final product arrives.

In any and every version of Opera (even the desktop version) type Opera:config in the address bar, and you'll get the option to edit just about anything you could ever desire, including the max tab number. Do a search for tabs in the Quick Find that comes up, and you'll see what you can edit as far as tabs go. FYI, a restart of Opera might be required to have changes go into effect (I don't recall, since its been a while since I toyed with the config setting).

Edit:
Yep, the srolling goes through links..

Thanks doministry,
so i'll give it another shot.
Although I like the "normal" scrolling with the O-Button.
Is the D-Pad doing a "normal" scroll then or is it jumping from link to link as well?
I'm asking because I customized my 9.5 build a lot and now (sort of) migrating to 9.7 is just a pure hassle if it doesn't work the way I like it in the end.

No there's no "normal" scroll here.
I use 9.7 'cos it's waaaay faster in UI/menus.
And less crashing than 9.5.
The ony single reason why I still use 9.5 sometimes
is the upload photos on my blog.....
Honestly can't wait to see a final
with hopefuly Flash 10.1 there.

My 9.5 (16702) stopped crashing after I ran the "fixOperaFlash.exe".
And can display all webpages PIE can, but much faster.
Only thing is hw-keyborad is not working in forms (in opera ui it does, dunno why).
But no "normal" and therefor fast scrolling (9.7) s*cks as well IMHO.
I'm not using the opera UI/menus very often.
If you want those images to change to the actual picture of the site when you open them, instead of the old picture of what the site looked like when you first opened it, change this registry key:
HKLM/SOFTWARE/HTC/VisualBookmark/UpdateOnce to 0 instead of 1.
It took me a long time to find it out. I even started doubting if I correctly recalled ever seeing them change in a ROM in the past!

Thanks for sharing this.
What other keys/values do you show?
I haven't been able to get my thumbnails to update.
I have both "Browser" and "Push Internet" Thumbnail Updates enabled, however Browser keeps reverting to 0.
Sorry, I'm not frequently online these days. What is your question exactly, the other keys in the folder??

I think I figured out my issue.
Thanks.
If you can't get thumbnails in your browser, set PIE as default browser, add fav, navigate to fav in PIE, then thumbnail will be updated.
You can then reset your default browser to whatever.
