Just flashed to the Ricky's latest Opera ROM, and starting to explore the new system, but I am having an odd problem. The home screen keeps popping up while I am in the middle browsing through menus. For example, I was trying to change my connection settings, and in the middle it just put me back at the home screen. This has happened at all menus, so I can't pinpoint the issue. I browse back with no issue, but it is annoying to be half way through something, and get booted back to the home screen, and have to start all over. Anyone have any insight into what my issue would be? Could it be a process, or program?
Edit:
Ok, my issue was a user error. I didn't know what the Time Out setting did under the Home Screen settings, and had set it to 10s. Should have played around more before post.

Hello.
Since yesterday, I encounter a very annoying problem : when I exit Opera, and come back on the TouchFLO interface, the phone freezes completely. Not completely actually, since when I press the "hard" buttons on the bottom of the phone, they vibrate. But anyway, I can't do anything else but soft reseting it.
I flashed it two days ago with the last FR Dutty ROM, and it was working fine. This issue occured for the first time yesterday, when I installed the two last HTC hotfixes (one for the slide-to-answer thing, the other one to fix the top curtain). However, I don't see why they would be a relation between these two fixes and the fact that the phone freezes when I quit Opera.
Even more, the freezes doesn't occure every time, but I'd say something like 8 or 9/10. I tried to install the latest build of Opera (AFTER the first time the freeze occured), and it didn't change anything.
So, am I the only one ? Does anybody encounters the same problem ?
Not the only one

I have the same problem.
Like you say, not all the time.
Don't remember when it started
Have the fixes and Opera update installed.
I hate that reboot button under the backside cover.
For the rest I still like my HD a lot.
Any help is more than welcome.
same here, except that i have original rom and opera version and the freezes started before i installed the hot fixes
Heey,
I have the same problem.
But it only freeze the phone when i exit Opera when a page is still loading/downloading.
If i exit Opera when the page is loaded/downloaded is works perfect.
I haven't installed any fixes.
Can you confirm if you have the same situation?
Thanks, Daniel
Opera Mobile has in opera:config an entry with the name "Automatic RAM Cache" (afaik).
If this is enabled, Opera will write the whole cache from the RAM into the storage memory when you close it.
Do you have this option turned on?
i have the problem too, but the option in opera:config is not enabled in my config.
i think the problem started after the hotfix of htc to improve response. i have no idea what caused this problem, because in the beginning everything worked fine. Now i'm even afraid to start opera, afraid the phone will freeze......... The stupid reset button is also behind the cover. A lot of things to do to reset the phone. take cover off, pull stylus out, press the reset button, put stylus in, place cover back, input code, wait wait wait.......
This option is disabled in the config of Opera.
And this ****er just freezed one more time :/
Mine started freezing when I started using Dutty's ROMs. It only freezes for me when I minimise it though. I prefer having the X button close an app so I've changed that and now no more freezes when closing.
I have exactly the same problem, is very annoying, any solution??

I installed 3D ATI driver...

Maybe .this is a reason
I installed the D3D driver, however I already installed it before flashing to Dutty 1.5 (I was on 1.1 at this time), and I never noticed any freeze.
still no fix for this? or even an idea what causes this? I really don't want to do a hard reset, cuz i need to reinstall all the crap and still risk getting the same situation...
Had the same problem, in my case it was clearly related to the Ati 3d driver, it's fine again after I uninstalled it.
I have the same problem. i didn't install any 3d driver and i am using the starbase64 V2 rom [GER].
just deinstalled the 3d driver and the hologram thingie and rebooted. it seems the problem is gone....... i will update here if the problem comes back

If we check the feature list of the rom you are using, what do we find: enable ATI D3D Driver...so yeah, it might be related to the ATI 3D driver.
I unistalled the 3D ATI driver and now after I use Opera, the HD doesn't block
But It shows a closing problem, but not a big deal... thanks'¡¡¡¡¡
same here, uninstalled the 3d driver and problem was gone, but now in games i notice a big difference in speed. For example in archibalds adventures, moving makes the framerate drop and the game stutters............ sigh.........
I'm using Touch Pro2 with stock tmobile wm6.5 rom. All of a sudden the back button stopped working in opera mobile 9.5 (stock in the rom).
I have searched and found this key:
HKCU\ControlPanel\KeyBD\ChangeBackVKeyCode\Opera_MainWndClass
is responsible for this action. I double checked and the value is "8" which is the same as for IEMobile.
Currently in other places, back button behaves as expected (as software back for PIE, Bing, Start Menu, Youtube, and acts as system back elsewhere) but when in opera mobile when pressing back button simply nothing happens. Soft reset the phone and reset the registry key value to 8 doesn't seem to fix the problem. I have also tried to stop the opera process then restart opera mobile and still no change.
Does anyone else have this happening? Any ideas? It doesn't hurt the use of the phone but I'm curious why this is happening and how this can be solved.
Thank you!
Strangely the problem is fixed by this way:
setting that registry key to number 7 then back to 8 fixed the problem.
I have no idea why this is happening, but simply glad that I can fix it now and maybe fix it again when this happens again. Now I'm seriously considering the android offering. Even with such a beauty as touch pro2, I still spend too much time on "making it work the way I wanted" than what I want to spend.
edit: after another the problem persists. oh well.
Sometimes after the page finishes loading, my firefox freezes for a several seconds while loading stuff from ads.netshelter.net.
I understand that you need avertisments for proper running of the page, but this one is so annoying especially because it freezes firefox completely and i can't go to other tab while waiting
Anyone have the same problem?

You are right--this shouldn't happen. We are looking at ways of making the ads load indepedent of the rest of the page. We've just been so busy with the redesign lately... this is on my list though.
Can't use the forum at all today.
Takes over a minute to do anything while staring at "Connecting to ad4.netshelter.net..." in the status bar. Took me 10 minutes just to be able to post this.
I'll come back when it's gone.

I find that swiping to the right as the method for going back loads faster than the in-browser back button.
Hope that helps.
That's strange. On RT 8.0 back button is faster then swiping and also when swiping you can't touch or scroll anything until loading ends, but when using back button then you can.

I am also having this problem and noticed that it does that on IE Desktop and Metro. It is really annoying. It does not do that on my Note 2. I timed and it and it sometimes can take up to 10 seconds. Also has anybody else have issues with closing tabs. Sometimes the tabs become stagnate and can’t be closed unless restart IE Metro. I am currently running the Surface RT 8.1 with the latest updates. I love my tablet, but the whole browsing internet explorer is ruining it for me.
It's a lot better than it used to be. But it's still a little slow.
Not sure on the "swiping right" thing. I'll give that a go, I usually swipe left to go backwards.

I have the same issue with Surface 2 running 8.1. Swiping to go back one page immediately loads a "preview pic" of the last page, but until the page is really reloaded it doesn't allow to scroll. This can take quite long for slow / complex sites.
I also noticed an additional annoyance: after a few hours/days of use the swipe back function seems not to work anymore (sometimes it still works but doesn't show the panning page, and sometimes it does not work at all anymore). I need to restart Metro IE to make it work again. Did somebody else notice this?
