Let me ask a "dumb" question maybe: how does one multitask on the SE X2 with Windows 6.5.3? Meaning: easily switching between programs? E.g. one is surfing with Opera Mobile and suddenly a text message comes in and needs to be replied to. How to do that quickly without quitting/loosing the webpage one is viewing?
Click the 'OK' button at the bottom righ corner of the mobile. Opera browser will minimize.
Now you can open the message and reply. Once you finish replying open the browser from 'task manager' to go to the page you were visiting previously.
Thats the way.
Instead of tapping Opera in the Taskmanager you can also click the Opera Icon, that may is on your Todayscreen.

hi all,
it`s me again having a strange problem with the preinstalled opera mobile....although popup blocker is enabled, popups still occur and if they do, opera place them in the center of the screen. when i try to scroll to the (x) button, the popup scrolls with the screen and stay in the new center. so i can`t close the popup. thus, it`s not possible to see the site laying under the popup. i hope you know what i mean. can something be done about this? and still some sites are shown in mobile view or opera try to fit sites to screen...
thx in advance
Stupid question I know, but when you open the browser, is there no one click other than opening bookmarks that will just go to your homepage, and also is there a refresh button?
I've not been able to find either. The lack of refesh is very annoying when you are looking at thing like football results.
no, as shown in another thread, there is no home button. like you said, use bookmarks, or open a new window. Daft but that's what were stuck with at the moment.
As for refresh button, yes there is.
press menu to show the address bar at the top, and on the right of the address bar is a button that changes from refresh (when a page is loaded) to stop (while a page is loading)
Thanks..
Strange they let you set up and change the homepage but not the most basic function of getting there. As most of the time it's left on the last page you were on and doesn't revert to home? Oh well. Another one for the updates.
As a sidenote, how do you guys feel about the applications you download having access to :
Phone calls, read phone state
Hardware controls
Network Communications, full internet access
etc
etc
Why would something like Shazam need all this info about phone calls in particular
I have igoogle as my homepage,all i do is put a shortcut for igoogle from bookmarks on my homescreen and use that as my browser.

Is there a way to make the back button work in Opera the same way that it works in EVERY other place on the OS?
It bugs me that I can't simply switch from Opera to the last tab I had open. If I'm listening to music, for example, I might have Opera open in the background. If I then use the quickmenu to switch to Opera I have to use the home button to go to the home page, and then scroll back to the music tab. I just want to press back. It works for every other app.
Is there a way to "switch it off" in opera?
You could install the new Opera Mobile 10 beta, that doesn't yet use the Back button as back in the browser

Yeah, thanks for that, but pinch-to-zoom doesn't work in Opera 10. If you enable it with zooomer (or registry hacking) then it just does the system style zoom, which is just ugly compared to something that's actually developed to use pinch-to-zoom.
I did try Opera 10, and really liked it, but it felt like a step backwards at the same time, so it's gone and won't be back (unless it gets an upgrade to include zooming, as per the earlier version.)
Yeah, the zooming is problematic. I'm trying not to let it deter me, it seems much speedier and has some nice features otherwise
That behaviour is hardcoded I believe.
A slightly faster way than what you're curently doing though is to either disable full screen/tap the menu button each time, and then just hit the X in the top corner. That still works as expected.
Hi everyone,
i think thread title says it all...
I already hated this stupid mobile view of websites in my Android smartphone.
Now it sucks even more on my tablet. i want to see webpages in desktop view style. I have found no way to change that in the stock browser.
Only in the Dolphin HD browser I an choose wether I want mobile or desktop views of website. And it even works. But actually I would prefer the stock browser.
Thank you.

Try This:
1. Open the Android Honeycomb browser on your tablet.
2. In the address bar, type: about:debug and press enter (it will appear that nothing changed).
3. Now open the browser's settings by tapping the icon in the very top-right corner of your screen (it looks like four horizontal lines) and selecting "Settings" from the drop-down menu that appears.
4. On the left side of the screen, tap the section labeled "Debug."
5. On the right side of the screen, tap the item labeled "UAString," then select "Desktop."
6. Press the back button (in the very bottom-left corner of your screen) to exit the browser's settings.
7. In the browser's address bar, type: about:debug once more; this will disable debugging mode and return the browser to its normal state.
That should make it load the "desktop" versions of websites for you!
any chance of getting this change to stick? It seems that I have to change this every time I start the browser.

You change this once and then the change wil persist
only sticks until you reboot,kind of annoying wish someone could write a script or something to automate this.
Sorry but either will lose setting periodically for no apparent reason. Absolutely needs to be automated.
i would love this too..
Hi,
I just instapp Win 8 cp on my Dell Latitude XT, and it seems to work pretty well.
A stupid thing I did - I removed the tile in the start screen for the immersive/metro IE, on the assumption that it would be easy to put it back, but I have no idea how to do that... Uninstalling ("turn windows features on/off") and reinstalling IE didn't help.
Any tips... ?
Thanks!
Try putting your mouse in the upper right hand corner of your screen to access the hidden sidebar. Click the search icon to access your total apps list. You should see the IE icon. Right click it to bring up your action bar at the bottom of the screen. You can repin the app to the start menu from there.
Hope that helps!

Nope, doesn't show up there. I deleted the tile from the start screen, so then it shouldn't show up there, should it? Accessing searching through applications like this, it isn't different from just typing on the start screen, is it? I have icon there that I created later for the desktop IE, but none for Metro IE (immersive). I do have Firefox as my default browser though, that might complicate things...
Just set IE as default browser and Metro IE will be back.
You can set default program for webpage as the Firefox in "Set Default Program" (by click "Choose defaults for this program" button)
Nope, that didn't work either...
