# 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.

I tied myself with wire

Grtz,

To be replaced or not... thats the question
Yes, till you do a Hard-Reset....
I was punching in the numbers at the ATM machine
I could see in the reflection
A face staring back at me
At the moment of surrender

installed it on my device but it seems like the setup didn't replaced anything. no i have do different versions off opera installed on my device
I tried to update it manually by extracting and copying just Opera9.exe and OperaL.exe over my existing installation, but it doesn't work. What files do I need to copy to get it work?

Your comparing apples to oranges guy.
so it still doesn't work well with cistom sip. while the page is loading it does,t scroll and pan properly.
any build dump from devices?
wow, this version look REALLY awesome!! the speed is just phenomenal!
this is probably already known, but the deault windows mobile sip always popps up when editing texts, instead of the htc sip. can anything be done with this?
EDIT:
you said this version has no multilingual support. this is great for me (for compatibility purposes) and i might want to do that with other builds too. can you tell me how you removed that support? or is it just inside the build, and that's the way it came?
i have created a workaround for the default keyboard issue popping up.
what you need to do is just disable the "Keyboard" sip, and the opera wouldn't be able to use it anymore, thus not changing your selected sip.
note you wouldn't be able to use the "Keyboard" sip anymore, until you uninstall the workaround.
tested on touch pro only.
just install and SR after.
enjoy.

Hey guys,
I installed this beta and tried to use SSMaPa to replace the Opera icons and what-not on TouchFLO however it has back fired badly. My Opera now does not seem to load properly at all, can I unstall the Opera that comes pre-installed and replace it with the new Beta? Thanks in advance.
Any help on this?
Just install the new version
Ola,
Just install the new version ignore any error msg. Softreset en run Opera. If opera is allready there you got now 2 seperated versions
That's works for me.
And for you... Fingers-x
Let us know if it works or not.
Grtz,

Odd that now Opera (default) has taken over the Beta so I don't have the Beta at all. Can I remove Opera from the system and then use the Beta?
Windows Media plug-in?
With other versions of Opera I have been able to stream and listen to Windows Media content through embedded plug-ins on webpages. With this version the plug-in is replaced with the text "Plug-in content" and nothing happens.
Anyone got any clue as of how I might fix this?
Thanks
Hi,
Is there any trick for having the zoom wheel enabled on HTC Touch Pro / Raphael?
Thx.
I am also very interested in the flash plugin. In the original opera on the HD I could play flash contents as I had installed flashlite 3.1. However with this beta version I just get the placeholder "plugin content". If I go to "Settings / Advanced" the "Enable Plugins" box is checked.
Would really appreciate if anyone could come up with a workaround.
Regards
Hello
We have developed a tool that enables users to create recording forms for their mobile and load the resultant data/multimedia they gather to a server. This works fine for most builds of OPera except 9.5 with gears - this version sometimes works but is VERY erratic when loading files larger than 300-400k (i.e. it only happens when Opera chunks the data) ....has anyone else come across this problem/solved it as I cannot see a pattern???..also any thoughts on whether 9.7 will solve this as we need gears to get GPS/location data...any help gratefully recieved

IE on my mogul used to display mobile.wunderground.com very nicely. On my TP2 it, along with lots of other sites are kinda wacked. Its like the browser window is 3 times the width of the screen, so even on sites that are formatted correctly to be viewed on a small screen, I get a horizontal scroll bar.
I've tried the "desktop/mobile" setting in IE no difference. And I dont like the way opera (both moble and mini) displays sites specific for mobile devices.
On my mogul the user agent is a little different it says IEMobile 7.11, whereas the tp2 user agent has IEMobile 8.12 AND IEMobile 6.0
Even a test page which is nothing more than a index.html file with the word test in it has a scrollbar on my TP2 that has 2 screens of whitespace. .
Is there a registry setting to set the IE user agent? And is there also a setting (registry or file) that reports the window width (like in opera:config)?
Thanks!
You probably have a different IE version installed on the TP2. Google for a newer version.
I'm having this problem too, I prefer PIE for certain sites, but the pages that rendered correctly on my Touch Pro are practically useless for all the scrolling around I'm having to do. Any fix for this?
Same thing here! I thought t was my mind playig tricks on me but the IE on the TP2 is horrible for mobile sites. I too am awaiting a reg hack or something.
There is a Pocket IE download that replaces the mobile IE on our TP2's. I havent tried it as I figured out how to make opera look nicer...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1890124&postcount=2
Then there is IE toggle, which I havent used either,,,
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=65154
So if anybody wants to experiment with either of these, I'd be interested to find out how mobile.wunderground.com looks under each of those options. I've just been using opera so I decided to leave IE stock.
I have a Tmobile Dash/WM5 phone and I just downloaded Opera Mini 5 right to my phone from m.opera.com - it detected my phone as HTC Excalibur and offered 3 options - Opera Mini 5, Opera Mobile 10 touch phone and Opera Mobile 10 keypad.
I downloaded Opera Mini 5 since I heard it was really fast due to server side rendering. It installs and looks real nice - the one major problem I'm having is trying to enter URLs - the address bar only seems to be accepting numeric values when I enter any keys from the numeric keypad - alt does nothing, Q, A, & Z are ignored. IE, UCWEB and Skyfire work fine (although in Skyfire if I go to google.com and try to enter a search term I have the same problem, only numbers are accepted & no way to switch to alpha). Opera Mobile 10 doesn't seem to have this problem, although it's slower.
The only options I have in settings>advanced is protocol (socket or http) currently set to socket - changing has no effect.
Like I mentioned Skyfire does the same thing when I go to Google's search page yet it works perfectly when I open Skyfire's address bar and enter a URL.
Anyone else have this problem?
I had that problem with WM 6.5 3VO, you have to go into the address bar and select "Insert Symbol" then you'll be able to use your full QWERTY keyboard.
Thanks but there's no such option in Opera Mini 5. This is a known bug since people with other phone models (Dash 3G, iPAQ 514, Samsung i780, Samsung i607 Blackjack) are having the exact same problem on Opera Mini's forums with no fix currently available. Back to Skyfire I go.
try Opera Mini 4.2?
Meh - If it didn't need Java I would. That's the major reason for trying Opera Mini 5, it's a native wm app.

I just realized you're running a modified ROM on your phone - the "Insert Symbol" option isn't available on stock WM6.
People with Dash 3Gs have been saying they have this problem? I use the native version of Opera Mini 5 on my Dash 3G on a daily basis and it works fine for me in every regard. Just have to use the Alt key to get it to do numbers, just like I'd always have to.
I AM looking for a way to use this on an ORIGINAL Dash, though, if anyone has found a fix yet.
Just downloaded opera mini 5 beta and everything is working as it should...keys function as they do in any other app. Could the issue have been fixed? Oh, I'm running ookba's 6.5 on an Excalibur...
Opera Mini 5 date and # key issues
WM Opera Mini 5 - There does not appear to be any way to set the clock display and the # key does not bring up the shortcuts.
Any observations/suggestions?
Hey guys, this is kind of out of topic but does anyone know how to change some settings on Opera Mobile to allow it to display the new facebook UI?
I've tried changed around the user agent, but didn't have any changes and I'm not sure what other appropriate changes I should be making in order to make it work.
Cheers!
Same here, using Opera Mobile 11.10
I'm still getting the old facebook mobile site. Any idea why? I even tried switching the User Agent between mobile and desktop.
Using rooted Samsung Prevail on Boost. Android 2.2.2. Opera Mobile 11.10
However facebook mobile works perfectly on stock browser and skyfire.
Nevermind. Found a fix here
