New technical preview of Opera Mini. [Archive]

Hi again folks!

As a result of your enthusiastic help with our previous testbuild of Opera Mini we have decided to release a new build specially for users of sprintusers.com and howardforums.com.

There has been a lot of improvements of the application (and hopefully no regressions :rolleyes: ) and now we need your help again.

To download this new version of Opera Mini, please point your phone's native browser (not Opera Mini) to http://mini.opera.com/sprint/ (please don't spread this URL outside these forums! Ordinary people have to wait for our public release.)

Things to look for:

Is your phone detected correctly and is the server suggesting the right version (generally HiFi=MIDP2, LoFi=MIDP1)
Does Opera Mini start?
Is Opera Mini able to download and display pages?
Any problems with softkeys?
Any problems with page scrolling?

If your phone is not detected right please point your phone's native browser (not Opera Mini) to http://people.opera.com/jo/detect and fill in the information. Feel free to write me a personal note, maybe mention that you downloaded through Sprintusers? :tu:

Opera Mini is known not to work with the following Sprint-phones due to phone specific bugs (No workarounds available yet): :indiff:

LG VI-125
LG PM-225
LG PM-325

Tre650 also has some known issues that makes Opera Mini a bit unstable. We hope to have these problems fixed soon.

Please report any issues in this thread.

Also have a look in the previous thread (http://www.sprintusers.com/forum/showthread.php?t=82745)

Thanks for all your help. The Opera Mini team is very grateful! :ninja:

Is it not compatible with the Treo 650? I'm having some trouble downloading it to my device as it does not support the file type. Edit: nevermind. I just downloaded it from the main site.

Edit: that version didn't work. Got an error asking me to install "ibm java vm" or something of that nature.

Is your phone detected correctly and is the server suggesting the right version (generally HiFi=MIDP2, LoFi=MIDP1) Yes
Does Opera Mini start? Yes
Is Opera Mini able to download and display pages? Yes
Any problems with softkeys? Minor, and I couldn't reproduce it. I had gone to Wikipedia and hit the back button to go to the main page, and the bottom bar disappeared (Menu, Back & time in the red bar were gone), but the soft keys still worked and once I hit Menu, the red bar showed up again
Any problems with page scrolling? Not at all, and I like the new smooth scrolling option!
I tested this on my A900. My 940 is at home, so I will try with that later.

It offered me to download hifi version 1.2.2803 for MM-8300 correctly
It started up with no problems
It opened up pages for me with no problems (so far)
Softkeys and scrolling work very nicely for me

Great release !

First off, I'm assuming HiFi is the best for the 7400? I already have the 1st version, and when I try to download the new one I get a "WARNING the old version already exists, do you want to overwrite, launch, or cancel" If I hit 'launch' will it save the old version, in case I have problems with the new version? I just don't want to mess anything up, I really like the opera mini. And to those of you that have the new version, can you explain what the improvements are. Thanks

Using Sanyo MM-9000:

Phone detected correctly
Suggested correct version (Hifi)
Downloaded fine and displays pages correctly.
Softkeys working fine and page scrolling, both regular and smooth, working well.

Congrats on a great release. Will surf some more websites to test it out. Can't wait to see the final version.

I can't seem to go back to the older version (the one that I got yesterday from mini.opera.com/sprint) Can you make it available? It worked fine on my phone but now this new version will not connect to any web site.

Awesome work guys. I had no problems with the last version except the weird autoscrolling. That's gone now!

I installed an older version:

nordic int v 1.1.2421 built 20051123 (CLDC-1.0 MIDP-1.0 J2me)

from mini.opera.com (without the /sprint).

It now works again. So there is something with the new version that is not making the connection to web sites on my phone. The new version seemed to get hung up when it said 'processing' - it wouldn't continue to the downloading bargraph.

Occasionally this older version will hang at the 'processing' stage, where the ... at
the end of 'processing' is not animated. When this happens I power the phone off and on then it works again. This is fairly rare, with this older version things work most of the time.

It saved all of my bookmarks. If you DON'T delete the old version and install the new one overtop of it, it should ask you if you want to save the "persistant data" from your older version. Tell it yes in the future and it should, in theory, retain your bookmarks.

the earlier version crashed after a few connection problems(reinstall needed), but it could at least load my myspace, what did you change? on the other hand, the ui looks much better and pages come in smaller sizes, although, it's slower, by about ten percent. [sanyo8200, lofi detected correctly]

Actually, I figured it would install on top of it and might even give me an option to import the old settings, but instead right now I have two seperate copies of "Opera Mini" in my applications list.

Your latest version is the greatest browser for phones. Goodbye Webviewer. Can't wait till you release a browser for windows mobile 2003/5.0 for PPC. I was able to download the new version without loosing my bookmarks or my browsing history that's great. Opera Mini is :kingofhil: :D

Yeah I can't wait for it on my WM2003se, but for 5.0 here http://www.pdaphonehome.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=63960

I sure don't wanna use that minimo (mozilla) or pay for any of the current browsers from handango. Opera would be the only one I would consider paying for.

JohanO, Opera Mini is pretty nice -- seems to work fine, see answers to your questions below. A couple of minor UI notes though:

-- in the preferences, if you change the 24-hour time format, the
times shown in the pull-down to change the time are still in the
prior format
-- the volume rocker button on the side of the A900 would be a
great scroller. The built-in browser uses this button as a
"page up" / "page down" button

Is your phone detected correctly - YES (Samsung A900)
Does Opera Mini start? - YES
Is Opera Mini able to download and display pages? - YES
Any problems with softkeys? - NO
Any problems with page scrolling? - NO

Thanks again!

works great, detected phone (A900), hi fi version was correctly reccomended. the problem I experienced was the red bar dissapeared when I tried to use the soft keys. Minor, but still a problem. And I love the new scrolling :)

The complaint I have is that I still cannot scroll through words in T9. I use T9 ALL the time, and not being able to scroll through it.. well.... sucks.

But a GREAT browser!

01-14-2006, 02:29 AM

JohanO You have to fix the server problem in Opera Mini. I try to go to MM.optonline.net. Which is to check your mail for Optimum Online. I cant do it. While the browser built into my A900 can. Everytime i go to it said " While loading http:/www.mm.optonline.net, could not locate romote server http:/www.mm.optonline.net/

Can you try to fix this? :indiff:

Besides this everything works fine.

One suggestion:

Can we get a full-screen mode, without the top and bottom menu/info bars? On such a small screen, every little bit of viewing area helps tremendously.

heliosnine

01-14-2006, 02:42 AM

Oh, duh. Never mind, I just found the * key which does that (full-screen mode). I didn't realize from its description in help (change window size) that it was the same thing as full-screen mode.

I've now switched from the VI-2300 to the MM-7500 (no MM-7500 avatar? I'll have to make one..) The web site identified my phone as 'SCP-2300' (instead of MM-7500) but it let me install the hi-fi version anyway. It's running with no problems except for one minor annoyance. When typing text into web pages, the MM-7500 uses the right soft key to select between entry modes (T9, alpha, number, etc). This right softkey is used by the browser so I can't switch entry modes to type numeric data, unless there's some other way I haven't discovered.

dakleenupman

01-14-2006, 11:30 PM

I will say, is there anyway that during text entry that it could know the difference to capitalize automatically instead of having to switch it manually?

Go to the updated web page with your phones browser NOT Opera mini or any other browser. From your regular screen, use the upper right button (soft key) that says "web". Then go to your vision home page and then hit that button again to get to the web browser menu. From there scroll down to the go to URL and then hit your ok button. Then type in the new location you are trying to go to and there ya go!!

I went to download the newer version on my LX535, but saw that Opera detected my handset as LG LX225, and recommends the lo-fi version. Since the original version is working perfectly, and I see that the LX225 is not supported, I have decided not to proceed until Opera recognizes my phone correctly (and someone else tries it). The original version did not detect my 535 at all, but installed and runs great on the hi-fi mode, therefore I await further advice.

01-16-2006, 04:42 AM

Hi, folks! I'll try to answer some questions.

MM-7400 works well with HiFi.

What happens with settings and bookmarks when upgrading to a new version is pretty much up to the phone. We don't have any control over the installation process. However most phones offers an option to save or erase old settings when overwriting an old version. I don't know the actual behaviour of the MM-7400 though. By choosing "Launch" you'll probably launch the old version without installing the new one, but I might be wrong. :fingers:

You may find an older version of Opera Mini at http://mini.opera.com. We will look into the issues on the MM-7500 and PM-8200. :comp_surf

We are looking into how to implement support for downloading files and stream media with Opera Mini. Unfortunately I can't give you any timeframe on when this is going to be ready.

The ability to scroll with the volume buttons is on our wish list as well. Until that is in place you may scroll a page height at the time by pressing left/right. You may also jump to top/bottom/content by pressing #3. Please check out the other shortcuts as well as they will make browsing much smoother. You'll find them in Tools -> Help.

mm.optonline.net is a WML (WAP) site. Unfortunately Opera Mini has limited support for WML-pages. :indiff: Please use their html-version if they have any.

If your phone is not detected correct, please visit http://people.opera.com/jo/detect with your phone's native browser (not Opera Mini) and fill in the information. By doing this I'll be able to update our database of phones so your phone will be detected correct next time you visit.

Thanks for all your help! Keep on posting! :tu:

JohanO

01-16-2006, 08:59 AM

To be able to implement scrolling by using the volume keys on the side of the phone we have to get the correct keycodes.

If you want to help us with this download a small application from http://mini.opera.com/mkey (enter this adress in your phone's native browser, not Opera Mini).

After you have downloaded, installed and started the application press volume key up/down and fill in the following information and post to this forum. If you don't get any reaction when you press the volume keys we won't be able to implement scrolling by pressing those since the phone won't let us know when it's been pressed, but please let us know anyway.

Yeah, Opera Mini does have a cookie management problem on Opera's server... :1zhelp: I noticed this on my site also, even playing around with the database controls at my site I determined it is Opera's server having the issue. Reqwireless (Webviewer) had the same type of issue when it first launched and over time it was fixed. :D

This thing is awesome. A couple of things I noticed:

Samsung A-900

1) Entering Passwords in the text box, it would be nice if possible to have an option to not hide passwords. It makes it difficult to enter them because it takes so long to enter them, you forget where you were.

2) Having a few more of the options for the key combinations in the menu would be nice, like Save Bookmark, History, Reload. Might not be possible with the smaller phone screens.

3) More on passwords: On my phone, for text entry, I have "Alpha, T9, Symbol, and Number" but I don't know how to enter a capital letter. As in for a PaSSwOrD. Maybe this is a phone limitation?

Opera has changed my mobile web experience from one of disgust to one of pure enjoyment!

01-16-2006, 04:01 PM

This is the reply that I tried posting Opera mini on my A900:
posting this from an A900 using Opera mini. Installed fine and nothing wrong with softkeys.
However, text entry sucks.
1) No preview with T9
2) No carriage return in symbol mode. Symbol mode is a 5x6 grid, but only has 29 symbols. There's room for a CR!

So what happened? The post didn't go through, as I encountered the problem of not-staying-logged in.

BTW, someone mentioned slowness in connecting to pages. Were you referring to the "Processing..." after clicking on a link? I *think* the "Processing..." is the Opera servers (they're proxies, right?) hitting the site you want to connect and waiting for it to respond. That's why on forums, the "Processing..." sometimes takes forever.

BTW, www.whatismyip.com shows both your phone's IP and the Opera server's IP. :)

You're more than welcome.

Johan, I love the new release. It seems you cleaned up the small font display, as it is now much more readable. The smooth scrolling and selectable time display are also very welcome. My phone (MM-5600) was detected correctly and the correct version (hi-fi) suggested.

As for the terminating application / not starting issue, I am experiencing this much more than with the previous build. If I restart the phone, it will load properly again. I overwrote the previous build to preserve my bookmarks, as there are quite a few. I haven't tried deleting and re-installing the java app. to fix this.

The consistent problem I have is with login text boxes, at such sites as email.com and gmail, etc. throwing up the "unexpected" error.

If login boxes worked consistently, that would be the last issue that seperates this fine browser from being spectacular, and make it the mobile application of the year.

You and your development team should be commended for an incredible java app. Thank you for your hard work.:clap:

It now works again. So there is something with the new version that is not making the connection to web sites on my phone. The new version seemed to get hung up when it said 'processing' - it wouldn't continue to the downloading bargraph.

Now I have this same problem as in this quote. This is the first version
that I am unable to use, so for now, I too, [am] going back to 1.1.2421, huh?

When I attempt to go to any page with the new browser using my VI-2300 I get the following:

Error
An error occurred.

This new version doesn't work at all on my phone. I'm going to see if I can go back to the older version. I selected 'overwrite' when I installed the new version.
Hi!

I'm on the QA team on Opera Mini, and I'm currently in the San Diego area to do some testing on American phones.

I have the Sanyo VI-2300 right here, and I've downloaded the sprint build, onverwriting the old build, just like you did. To me that works.

Could you please check the software version on your phone? Go to the menu -> settings -> phone info -> version

Which one do you have? I have 1.005SP.

Have you tried downloading the sprint version recently? Have you been able to use it? Please let me know! :)

using the vm4050, it works great except for 1 problem. when it hits the 32kb mark of loading a page, it pops up an error "The server has closed unexpectedly." i can click close, and it brings me back to the webpage, but only the first 32kb of data is there, the rest of the page never makes it

That's wierd! Can it be a limitation at Sprint? Anyone else had this problem (Try to load a page larger that 32kb)? :confused:

The java implemention on the 4050 has had this limitation since the phone was released (only a firmware update from Sprint would fix it, but never happened). The only way around it is to truncate the page, as what Reqwireless did on their server (with Webviewer ) to solve the issue. Or a feature could be put into Opera Mini to allow the user to truncate the page for phones with limited heap memory or cache memory?

Yeah, it's all Sprint's doing, from what I understand. Everyone who contacts them about the infamous 35kb bug gets referred to Toshiba or Audiovox, who then refer people back to Sprint, who still hasn't done anything to fix the problem. Supposedly it could be solved by sending information to the phone in packets (smaller than 35kb), instead of all at once. The people behind WebViewer were informed about it and told us that they didn't see fit to make a special version specifically for the VM4050...which is understandable, as they had a lot of paying customers to please. I don't know if you guys at Opera are interested in or willing to make some sort of patch to address this issue, but it would certainly be appreciated if you could look into it.

As for the new version, it detected my phone correctly and suggested the lo-fi version, which is also correct. So far, it seems to work just fine other than the cookie issues and the aforementioned 35kb bug.

Ok I love Opera I will be testing the new version I fell in love with the older 1.1 as soon as I found it Only problems I have found so far in the old and will be checking the new version to see are as follows

1 Sprint and some other web sites view it as a non secure browser and put thier sites in extreem lockdown and text only mode

2 Downloads is it even possible to alow it to download things I used to be able to save stuff on my Original phone with it's built in browser ie pics as screen savers ect ... my next three phones have not had that ability unfortantly and Opera sees all "Downloads and non supported types

3 Ironicaly enough Yahoo... It won't alow me to use Moble messenger with Opera thinks I am on a home PC LOL

On the A900, shift (or *) does change capitalization for me.
0 (or next) is used when in T9 to change to a different variant of your word. However, Samsung's implementation of it is farked, in that it doesn't display the variant.

Folks! A new build is now available at http://mini.opera.com/sprint

To install, point your phone's browser (not Opera Mini) to the adress and install. Note that your bookmarks and settings may get deleted depending on your phone. (We haven't changend anything about this so if your last update went fine it should work this time too.)

Changes includes a lot of small fixes.
it has fixed the 32kb bug, so im much appreciative of that. the only downside is that it loads too little data, sometimes as low as 2kb. so browsing to this forum, for example, each page only shows 1 or 2 posts

I went to a forum just to check it out and it took 7 pages to load the index whereas before it could load the whole page. Is there any way to set how much of a page the browser loads before it rolls over to a new page?

Hi JohanO, I just downloaded the newest version to my LG 535, which now does recognize the make and model correctly. It works perfect in all aspects. The side volume keys now give me functions, but the 'Vol UP' serves as <OK>, and "Vol DOWN" serves as <menu>, which doesn't really matter to me, but just letting you know in case it was intended otherwise. I think the browser is wonderful, I was going to cancel Vision after the 2 mos free, but now I'm keeping it, thanks to Opera

Did someone say you could hit #1 or #3 to pop you back to the top of a page? Some of the pages contain so much info, and if you want to scroll back to the top it takes soooo long to do it. I'm amazed at how long a page can be. Also, sometimes if I want to send a news link to someone, I get a beeb, and an "error" and it won't let me continue typing in the my email address, or the recipients address in so I can send. I'll come back later, and it will work. I have yet to install the very latest version, I just installed the 2nd one a couple of days ago. But this is great, I use this all the time!

Would this also effect the Google Map app? And just one part of it? Everything seems to work ok, except routing driving directions. You would think either the whole app would work, or not work, not just one feature of it. And it's good to know the Opera thing is a Sprint issue, and not my phone!

Figured I'd bump my old question. Now I see its a full release, no longer a preview. I also note that the full release carries the same revision and build number..

No, it does not. SSL is an encryption method that exchanges records between you and the server you're trying to get into to. Opera probably doesn't have the ability to exchange these records (certificates).

Finally folks! Opera Mini is released worldwide! :Party:

There has been some work to do before the release so excuse my late reply. Thanks for all your patience with these testbuilds and ideas of new features and just happy cheers! :tu: Now it's time to share the information to all your friends, relatives, enemys, pets... :bullhorn: Visit http://mini.opera.com to read more about this public release.

Feel free to keep posting in this forum. I also recommend having a look at the mini-forum at opera community (http://my.opera.com/community/forums/forum.dml?id=111).

If your phone is not detected correcly please point your phones native browser (not Opera Mini) to http://people.opera.com/jo/detect to help me keep the database updated.

Finally I'll try to answer some questions as usual:

What is the right version for MM-7500?
MM-7500 is now added to our database so that phone will be correctly detected after next server update. Until then you have to manually select the HiFi-version.

I've read posts of other folks claiming to be able to view their online banking sites with Opera Mini. Does this technical preview lack SSL?
The Opera Mini client doesn't support SSL between the Client and the Opera Mini server. SSL is however used between the Opera Mini server and the remote web server. Your bank should let you in, but you should know that the information isn't sent using SSL the whole way.

My Sanyo Mm 7400 wont let me input text anymore after using t9 input
That's wierd but unfortunately outside our controll since the input methods are up to the phone to handle.

If I try to click on anything, bookmarks, CNN, whatever, it just says processing..... FOREVER...
Do you still have problems? We have been doing some serious server work before the world release whick may have caused your experience.

It seems I have to take the battery off, re-start phone, go to Opera again so I can input text one more time again.
This seems to be a problem with your phone. Try to get it flashed with new firmware. You are not supposed to be able to hang the phone as you described from within java even if you would want to.

JohanO, Opera Mini is pretty nice -- seems to work fine, see answers to your questions below. A couple of minor UI notes though:

-- in the preferences, if you change the 24-hour time format, the
times shown in the pull-down to change the time are still in the
prior format
-- the volume rocker button on the side of the A900 would be a
great scroller. The built-in browser uses this button as a
"page up" / "page down" button

Is your phone detected correctly - YES (Samsung A900)
Does Opera Mini start? - YES
Is Opera Mini able to download and display pages? - YES
Any problems with softkeys? - NO
Any problems with page scrolling? - NO

Thanks again!

Why would you want to view videos or hear music on a third party browser if the phone already itself does

Why would you want to view videos or hear music on a third party browser if the phone already itself does

Say, if you're in Opera mini and click on a .3gp link...it'd be nice to be able to play it right then and there (or even save the sucker to mass storage).

JohanO, first of all, cograts on your final release! You've created something that makes our phones even more special, and thanks for replying to my particular issues I spoke of earlier. I fixed the "Proccessing Forever" problem by simply re-installing Opera, which I think was the latest version/build. However, I still can't input text in search boxes ect. more than once or twice, without getting a loud beep and "Error." I have found I don't have to take the battery off, I just have to get out of Opera, and start it up again to continue with any text input. Like you said, it must be my phone, and I haven't read any other post with this problem. I will try to have my phone flashed, and hopefully that will do the trick. But I use this all the time, thanks again.

JohanO-
Here is a feature suggestion:

On HTML forms, when entering information into a text field could the browser predict if the text field is going to require numbers or alpha and switch the default input automatically? (i.e. if you are entering information in a text field that is named "zip code", "area code", "phone number", etc. could Opera switch the default input to number instead of alpha?)

Just a thought... Opera is the best! Thanks!

i also like how it shows icons. it is smooth. i like the homepage where you have google and can type an address.

Hmm. I notice a problem with the latest version that didn't happen with the pre-release versions.

Whenever I am in character input mode (whether T9, Alpha, or Num), if I press the "Back" button on my A900, it clears everything I typed rather than just deleting the last character. Anyone else have this problem?

Are you in Powersave Mode when using Opera Mini?

I noticed that sometimes in Powersave Mode, my input would get screwy (double or sticky key presses -- back being sticky = delete all). Also noticed that in PowerSave, pressing keys too fast in ABC mode would lock up the entry.

I assume you mean the Backlight -> Power Save Mode? I'm not sure of any other power save feature on the phone.

I tried going to the /sprint url on my phone and it wasn't detected. A940. But I installed the Hi version anyway. It looks and works great. However, one thing..If you live in southern california and ever drive on the freeways, you know about www.sigalert.com

It's an INVALUABLE resource to check freeway and traffic conditions. I tried going there through opera and it didn't seem to work. I tried to check the LA and Orange county traffic map. Now I know I can't have everything on my phone but if sigalert were somehow made to work...wow. Live traffic conditions on your phone.

But overall, great browser.
If you go to 'bookmarks' scroll down to the Los Angeles Times newspaper, and then scoll down to about the last third of the paper, you will see the same site there. I can't get the maps to work, but I was able to get accident reports, (which were very current) all around LA, I didn't play with it to much, but maybe you can get a little more info this way than punching in the url in the browser, I don't know. I'm not sure how useful the maps would be anyway, with all the 'traffic dots' scrunched in a small phone display...... thanks for the link though, works great on the PC

I've been using Opera for about a week now and it's pretty good. Support for stuff like embedded java, flash, or even streaming wmv videos would be great but can't have it all can you.

But one feature I would like to see is an option to change the view to landscape. This might be a little awkward holding the phone in such a position but it could give some extra real estate horizontally perhaps view pages a bit better? Just an idea.

Opera is a full web browser...unless I'm mistaken, Netfront is a WAP browser...it's like comparing a pocket knife with one blade to a deluxe swiss army knife...and Opera does not replace Netfront...both will reside on your phone...Opera is a downloadable app that you launch from the apps folder...you could still launch Netfront using the web soft key on your phone...

i use both. sometimes if i want to check the sports scores, i will use the wap site. with opera(html browser) - it will display graphics, and will be a similar to browsing on a pc. as far as i know, there isnt a way to uninstall netfront. netfront is a wap browser.with opera, you can log in to the majority of the sites (sites that use javascript, flash etc.) dont work. you can get to alot more sites on opera then you can with netfront. if you use netfront and type in an address www.espn.go.com, it will not load up. wap sites have a different url and were designed for a smaller screen.

in my mind netfront is like the atari 2600 (which is good - i like some of the games) BUT operea is like an xbox 360. an AMAZING experience. you can download opera to test it out, if you dont like it, you can always erase it

is there a way that you can download a file or stream while using Opera? cause everytime i try it says like ignoring download or something like that. sorry if it is already in this thread somewhere, i just dont have the time to read through all the pages.

as far as i know you can NOT stream files or download files. what would you download? most phones dont have much memory to download files and probably wouldnt recoginze the format (pdf,zip file,word doc etc.).. as far as streaming goes, the majority of those sites use javascript,flash etc (languages that phones dont support). i did hear this spring there is supposed to be a phone that supports flash. i dont remember what it was.

if you are wanting to stream media, you can download orb. do a search on it. there are several good threads about it. i use orb. i can stream live tv,movies, mp3s,radio stations to my phone.

works on the 9000 perfectly. with orb i tried downloading that and it wont work because i need a tv tuner...? :bang:

to use orb, you should be using your wap browser (net front). as far as watching streaming video,audio on opera, i havent had much like. i tried a couple of sites and it didnt work. as i stated before many sites use java,javascript,flash,shockwave etc. that are not supported in phone browsers.

opera is a GREAT browser for the phone BUT it will NEVER replace a regular browser on a pc or laptop. the screen on the phone is about 2 inches versus a 15-21 inch monitor.phones only have a limited amount of memory which is one reason that you will probably not be able to stream all media. remember that your phone was meant to talk and not surf the inernet. i dont have one but those windows mobile smart phones (treo, pda style phones) MIGHT be able to handle streaming media.i have read they have a version of pocket internet explorer built in them.

i love opera becuase i am able to get the pictures and feels as if i am surfing the net on my pc only on a smaller screen. there is alot more scrolling involved BUT remember the cell phone is MUCH smaller then a monitor. it will NEVER replace surfing from your pc. if i dont have a pc to log into and want to get online and check my email or goto cnn or espn, it is nice to be able to use my phone and not have to wait until i can get to a pc. (the same thing applys to camera phones - it is nice they have a camera BUT in my opinion they will NOT replace a digital camera. it is nice to be able to take a picture of something if you dont have your camera on you BUT if i am going to a sporting event,wedding etc, im going to use my digital camera NOT my cell phone).

opera is about the closest thing you will find as far as a phone browser goes. i would suggest checking out the smart phones. they might be able stream media from websites.

you can still use orb to stream mp3s,avi,3gp,rm,divx and other files. if you want to watch live tv, you will need a orb supported tv tuner.

as far as clicking down the page, i can hit the right button (on my keypad i have the menu ok button and then there are up,down,left and right buttons with symbols on it). i can hit the button to the right of the menu/ok button and it will scroll down the screen. instead of hitting the down key 20 times, i can hit the right key and it will jump down the page real quickly.

surfing the web on a 2 inch screen is much different then a 15-21 inch monitor. there is alot more info to go through on your phone with its 2 inch screen versus a 21 inch monitor. on a pc you might have information that is on the far right side on my pc (espn - i have my favorite team info that is on the far right side). when i surf on my phone, it shows up towards the bottom.

Do you have to have broadband at home to use ORB?

yes. you need to have your home pc as the orb server to stream the media (live tv,mp3s,music videos etc) and have to have a broadband connection.

To have the best Orbing experience, your home computer on which you install Orb Media needs the following:
2.4Ghz Intel Pentium* IV processor or equivalent (Note that a slower processor may cause "stuttering" when streaming TV or videos)
512MB of RAM
100MB available disk space
Windows XP (Home or Professional) with Service Pack 2, or Windows XP Media Center Edition (2004 or 2005)
Broadband Internet connection
Note: We recommend a minimum of 1GB of available disk space for writing media (recorded TV, video, audio and photo) files.

We are currently looking into the login-problems right now, but we need some more information. On which sites do you have problems with logging in and what version (build) of Opera Mini are you using (Tools -> Help -> About).

Regarding keeping track of your phone numbers I can tell you that we don't (and can't since there is no way of retrieving the phonenumber from within the java sandbox) so that part of the privacy statement is irrelevant and should be rewritten.

I'm running version 1.2.3082 Opera Mini. I don't go too many places on my phone that i have to log in but so far the only places giving me trouble are SprintUsers and HowardForums. No problems logging into my email accounts or another place I like to visit Broadbandreports.com.

The likelihood is that it's just a standard agreement that included that. If you don't give them your number, they can't track it. So whether you download it now or after that agreement has been updated, it doesn't really matter.

when going to the link above and following the instructions on the page and it says the same thing.

do i have to uninstall opera on my phone and reinstall it. im not sure how phone software works but i know on a pc, many times when you install a program and if it sees you have an older version, it will ask you to uninstall the older version or will tell you, you have to uninstall the old version before you can install the new one. sometimes it will let you install multiple versions of the same folder (adobe is one example. at work i have seen people with adobe 5,6 and 7 on their pcs).

i was curious - is there a MAX. number of bookmarks allowed. i was curious if there was a limit. like on sprints wap browser, there is a limit and when the bookmarks are full and want to save a bookmark, you have to delete a bookmark.

Does anyone know how to change the homepage? I'm sorry if this was asked already, but I rather not read through the 15 page thread going on in this forum.

You cannot change it. And you know, reading 15 pages doesn't take that long AT ALL. Five, maybe ten minutes if all you're doing is skimming for specific information. If you use Edit/Find it will go even faster. For example, you could have done an Edit/Find on each page for "home page." Just a little tip.

I downloaded that version from opera.com and i have the 920. You shouldn't have to erase your previous version beforehand, it should give you the option to overwrite the current version. As far as bookmarks, i have NOO idea, sorry..

when you get the message saying that you have the same version just hit ok and then hit overwrite, it will download it and when you launch opera mini and click on tools etc. to see what version you have it will say that you have version 1.2.3082 and you should still have all your bookmarks

The phone thinks it's the same version since it looks at the version number (1.2) and not the build number. Small things is changed and fixed between builds, larger things and new features are added/fixed between different versions.

Bookmarks SHOULD not get lost by installing a new build over an old build (if you choose to save data if asked), but there is no guarantee since this is up to the phones and nothing Opera Mini can do anything about.

We are currently looking into the login problems for this page.

open up opera mini, click on menu then go to tools and from there click on help, and then click on about, and you will see what version that you have

Went into my local sprint store yesterday, had a play with the sanyo 9000 and downloaded Opera mini on it, tried to log into her, same result. Password and or log in name wrong. I wonder why it's doing this now?

I think what it's doing is only sending the 1st field, the name and not sending the 2nd field, the password. Just tried to sign up on another forum and it was telling me both fields need to be completed. They both were, so apparently it was only sending one of them.

I'd have to agree w/ that...i tried loggin on here tonight from my phone cause i didn't have internet w/ my computer and it said that there was an invalid username or password even tho i knew i entered both in correctly.

yeah when it really comes down to it.. I still like the built in Samsung's web browser in my phone, because t9 doesn't fully work in opera mini because Samsung is noobish about it and doesn't implement T9 correctly..

nope. Its a free program and you shouldn't be charged as long as you have some type of PV plan.. Think of it as using a souped up version of your native browser..

Uh-oh!
now I no longer can use Opera-Mini, the last
good working versions for me were
2421 and 2431. But, now that they
have the new versions available on
Opera-Mini site and here, there seems that
it is not possible to go back to get
the older versions that work, any ideas, huh?

I still cannot use Opera-Mini, it seems that some PM-8200s
can and some cannot use it; Do [you] think that it may be
something to do with the firmware build on a particular phone.

It seems strange [that] the 1.1 builds worked fine, but the
1.2 builds stopped working altogether, huh?

There are postings on Opera.com Mini forum by others
experiencing same problem, but it seems that there is
no responses that resolve the issue, huh?

You guys having problems and I guess everybody else who is interested in the updated version, point your phone to http://mini.opera.com/sprint/ (use your phone's native browser, not opera mini)

This is for Sprint phones only...I'm hoping to find a way to export bookmarks from one version to another....anybody know how?

Opera Mini 3.1.2 from mini.opera.com/sprint does not work very well with Motorola RAZR2 V9m. When I click on my bookmarks, pages load fine, but when I select the address bar to enter an address manually, after inputing the address, the screen simply turns white. From that point, the only way to continue is to exit the application and restart. Opera Mini 4 beta has even more issues--pages simply do not load at all. This seems to be a graphics issue of some sort because it shows that the page hasa been loaded, but the screen does not actually show the page content, but instead the screen before the content was loaded. When trying to move the cursor, I can see the "mouse" icon on the left of the screen moving, but it pretty much just garbles the graphics.
