From what i remember from the Touch Pro 1, there is a setting in Opera's config that you have to change (i think it is the user agent) otherwise Opera reports itself to some sites as a mobile browser.
Do a search for "opera user agent"..you'll find something.
On every version I've ever used (a lot), searching from the search box that's part of Opera ALWAYS loads mobile google. Even if you have Opera set to identify as a desktop browser.

I love my TP2 (vodafone version) but if I go to any site that has a mobile version it redirects me to that even though I want to see the full version. It is driving me mad.
BBC.co.uk redirects to bbc.co.uk/mobile
telegraph.co.uk redirects to m.telegraph.co.uk
Are others having this problem. I seemed to stop it yesterday after I tried changing the user agent string to a mozilla one but then it has gone back to the original user agent now after I rebooted the phone.
Try using skyfire for your browsing needs it has never done me wrong just dont visit any sites that are too personal like bank accounts and the like, ive benn told its not secure. there should also be a setting that lets you identify your handset as a desktop computer using opera. but ive had that same issue with a reset where i have to go in and set it again. Also just got netfront 3.5 and I havent had too much time with it but its a unique experience .
It has something to do with the browser. Thd symbian OS browser is the same.
Thanks for the tips but Skyfire is OK but nowhere near the browsing an screen quality experience of Opera.
My Experia didnt do this so it is only a setting somewhere but not sure what?
Are you navigating to sites by opening the "Internet" tab on TF3D and entering the URL into the search box at the top of the screen? If you do that, Google picks it up and returns you mobile versions of all the sites. If I put "bbc.co.uk" in there, a page of results comes up, and the first one is "bbc.co.uk/mobile".
To navigate to a page properly, open the "Internet" tab as normal but then click on the great big "launch browser" button (with a picture of the earth). Then select the address box at the top of the screen and enter your URL here instead.
Is that any better?
Nope I am not doing that as I have disabled TF3D because I hate it, but thats another story.
No I am not referring to the search page results and following pages that google formats, I am talking about typing plane old pages into Opera after launching opera from the programs menu.
don't have TP2 yet, but in my FUze opera -> menu -> settings -> display -> uncheck mobile view. that should do it. I'm still getting the hang of opera after using skyfire in the Kaiser.
Yes that is already unchecked too.
I believe that the BBC checks what browser you are using and then directs you to the page it thinks you want to see.
At the bottom of their home page there is a preferences link. Tells you to bookmark the version you are happiest to see.
Guess the Telegraph does the same. That would explain why setting your browser to say it is mozilla gave you the usual BBC page.
No idea on a long term fix except to bookmark! They are getting too clever for their own good!!!
The bbc and others take you to the crappy mobile site even if you dont want it. It drives me mad.
Have you tried going to the URL opera:config in opera and changing the settings there. I don't know if it will overwrite on soft reset but under user prefs there is a Custom User-Agent setting.
You could look at changing that perhaps?
Might be something with spoof useragent ID?
I fould this:
1 = Opera (default user agent string of Opera)
2 = Mozilla
3 = Internet Explorer
4 = Mozilla, Opera not mentioned
5 = Internet Explorer, Opera not mentioned
but that is probably not the whole story!!!
I have changed the max number of open tabs on this page to 4 from 2. following advice from someone here. That worked fine
Yes I make the changes that fix the problem then when I soft reset they go back to the old settings. I reckon it is because it is a Vodafone rom because it always sets it back to a Vodafone user agent string.
Strange, I make the changes in the editor and nothing happens but then I located the opera.ini file that the editor should edit in the \windows\opera folder and I edited it with a text editor in windows then uploaded the edited file. Nothing changed until I rebooted and then it was fine.
I changed my user-agent string to a standard Mozilla one and this has fixed my problem for some sites including the one I wanted to fix the mostbut not the telegraph.co.uk one. They must use something else. Need to play a bit more.
Download Opera Beta 9.7
Works great for me. No re-direction to mobile sites what so ever. There is an option in the settings of beta version to turn mobile view on/off. By default it's OFF.
When I install 9.7 beta on my vodafone TP2 and run it, it hangs and I have to reboot the device.
Sorted!!!!!
Don't you hate it when something so simple doesn't work!
OK, Tested BBC and telegraph after a reset and they both work.
Not my solution entirely but it came from here on the first post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=470001
Thank you gtrab.
The issue was that the config tool with opera was not saving the configuration properly so after a reset my opera:config seemed to be going back to an old version. One that I had hacked and broken!!!! ( I have no idea why that one saved and other ones didn't
Solution was to use total commander to get hold of the windows/opera9/opera.ini file and edit this on my computer before replacing back into the opera9 folder
I have gone back to the vodafone useragent
Custom User-Agent=Vodafone/1.0/HTC_Touch_Pro2/1.14.161.5 (50207) Opera/9.50 (Windows NT 5.1; U; en)
Default Spoof UserAgent
Spoof UserAgent ID=1
And it seems the important one
UAProf URL Enabled=0
Now I am getting the web pages as I see them on the desktop. Horah!!!!
Oh awesome thankyou. I searched everywhere for an answer but you found it. I will go and give it a try.
Hi,
I am using NFSFAN's V15 ROM and I also use a gmail java app that accesses my gmail account. Let me first start out by saying that the reason I use the java gmail app is because I cannot find a .cab file installation version of it and I need to preserve email message threading. I know most people use the default mail client but I sometimes get 20 or more responses to one email message and it creates a huge inbox mess, hence this is only one of the main reasons why I use the gmail java app and not the default mail client. Now that thats out of the way, here is my problem:
When I am in the java gmail app and reviewing a message with a website hyperlink in it, if I click on the hyperlink, I immediately get a Yes/No pop up dialog box asking me if its okay to open that website. If you select yes or no the dialog box reappears immediately and the same loop starts ever until I am forced to take the battery out and restart the phone. Can anyone fix this? I wonder if IE Mobile 6 is what is causing the problem, it works fine on my stock ROM that has the older version of IE Mobile but it will not work on the WM6.5 ROM that uses IE Mobile 6. I really want to point it to use Opera Mobile instead of IE Mobile 6 but it does not give me that option. Yes, I have Opera Mobile set as my default browser and yes the "Set Opera as default browser" option within Opera Mobile is checked on but this java program just will not open Opera and I am very puzzled by this problem. I cannot find anyone talking about this issue on any other threads for the Vogue, here at XDA, so I decided to create this thread. Does anyone know how to fix this?
PS - Here is a download link to the java gmail app if anyone wants to take a crack at this:

Thanks

Reading this a bit late for research but here's the good news.
Microsoft has announced that the new mobile office and outlook exchange shall incorporate threaded email.
I had a link to it to download the new outlook mobile, I'll search for it again and post if I find it.
i have an app that i want to post an item on a user facebook.
i have found a method to do this, which on paper works - but on windows mobile it doesnt!
i have code that generates a html document with the relevent java script in it to trigger the FB.UI. This Java code opens up a popup window to enable the post to happen, the problem is that if i open up the generated html document in internet explorer it wont work because it automatically blocks pop-ups. Alternativly if i had a web browser control to my app it works, however the page is zoomed in way too much and theres no scroll bars or anyway of navigating the page!
i appreciate any help or suggestions. Using managed .net code (vb)
well, I've been working oonon a Facebook app and well. . Honestly, the only way to do it is using raw http socket communication with custom UI. the webbrowser object is pathetic at best. if you find another solution i would be very interested in knowing what you did. if you want help with Facebook communication, pm me and ill see what i can do to help
