I really like the new Opera Mini, its a Java Application so I am not real familiar with how it works. I was wondering:
1. Can I set it up as my default browser?
2. When I flip the screen to landscape, the bottom menu buttons from WM show up and they won't go away until I shut the program down...It also is very buggy. Is there a good version available for the Raphael?
Wish it had Flash, but so far Skyfire is the only option right? Skyfire has such poor resolution...

Youre talking the new M5 beta? I cant get it to work (browsing wise) at all.
I use the 4.2 below....well i would attach it, but i cant attach .rar files. If you want it, PM me and ill send to you.
Uhh, Opera Mini 5 beta works fine for me. Just wanted to know if I could make it the default browser.
No.

1.) I'm not aware of anyway you can set this as your default since it is Java ran.
2.) There is an option in your settings to turn the landscape mode on or off. I personaly turn off the landscape mode because I don't like it and it seems to run smoother. As for the for the buttons showing up I had this issue and would simply press the screen and they would go away. This actually stopped after about a week so not really sure what made it stop. You might try turning your landscape mode off, run the browser and then turn it back on. *Just a suggestion*
Good luck
Hello,
I'm on Android 2.1 with my X10i.
Before the update, when I was browsing the web, I could press the menu button for an option to close the browser.
That disappeared with the 2.1 update and I can only press the middle button to return to the "desktop" (or whatever it is called) but then the browser will keep running.
Is the "close browser" option hidden somewhere, or is there another way to close the browser?
Thanks!
Yeah. That is why I don't like the new browser. I usually press menu - windows. Then the browser will load homepage. And let it be. At least it is not make more connection.
Hope it will help. But any better suggestion is welcomed

Abandon default browser (just freeze it using Titanium Backup) and use Dolphin HD

Opera mobile updated. I am not experiencing any lag at all. Every page scrolls smooth as butter. Typing seems better also!

thanks for sharing! I can't wait to try this out.
Yes version 11.1 has zero lag...using currently with thumb keyboard.
This browser works great! No lag at all, and the performance is great.
+1 . speedy typing with opera mobile and thumb keyboard
so, this confirms it's a software problem(no more blue-ish screen and lag in typing mode). Stock and dolphin browser better fix it soon too!

You may be able to extract the Gmail.apk from one of the system dump/ROMs located here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1053 then just push it to your /system/app folder
Wow, this browser is blazing fast. Big thumbs up!
(Changed my user-agent to Firefox 5.0.1).
So uh... yes it's fast and smooth but is anyone else getting alot of freeze ups using it? I've had 3 in the last hour while using opera. Tablet will just straight up freeze and I gotta hold the power button to reset.
The one problem I have with this is that when one enters a term in the Google search window, it returns results from Google's mobile search engine, and I can't seem to find any way of fixing this. Really annoying, given that I'm quite sure no one wants the mobile version of anything on a tablet.
EDIT: forgot about this trick - to get around this all one has to do is:
1) go to the standard Google search page (www.google.com)
2) once loaded, long press on the search box on that page; a window will pop up to "add search".
3) just add the search and call it Google, then go to the search window in the browser and select the new Google search engine option you just created.
4) and boom, a nice desktop version of Google search!

No,which kernel are you on?
Disabling Speed Dial!?!??
...but now my latest issue is trying to disable the stupid Speed Dial page seen at the start of opera. I just want to have a normal home page activated. I did go into about:config and found the default home page entry option, but even though I entered an address and it did save, the browser still goes to Speed Dial at start up. Grrrrr!!

FYI having the browser UA to desktop does not affect the search window. I did edit my post to include a tip on how to get around this though

1) typing is indeed much better. no more blue highlights in text boxes which seems to be the cause.
2) text selection is steadier.. the cursor seems to pick the right position more accurately and without the real annoying cursor jumping.
Dislikes
1) when typing this response.. the typing indicator started right in the middle of the reply text box with no way to put it at the top line.
2) font is smaller than stock browser and dolphin HD
3) scrolling is not as smooth as stock browser and dolphin hd
4) loading pages is slower than stock browser and dolphin hd
5) no full screen viewing
6) bookmarks are not as easy to access like dolphin HD
with all that said.. it is such a relief to be able to type without lag and to be able to set the cursor more accurately. I'll stick to opera for now until dolphin or stock gets rid of the lag. opera's small font is really annoying though. anyone have a fix?

Type opera:config in the address bar. There is a section for fonts, I haven't tried editing it though to change font size.

yea I've tried to up the min font size under user settings, but didn't make a difference. I've set the scale size higher which did increase the size, but cuts off parts of the page at the right hand side now. I'll keep testing different settings
increased the min font size to 13 which seems to help. tried 14, but it made sites look weird and buttons got cutoff. also, it doesn't seem to apply the new font size to everything. it changed xda, but did a Google search, and the results were still the smaller size.
also more dislikes:
1) tab button doesn't work! example - pressing tab to switch text boxes
2) sometimes texts just disappear since for some reason, it forgets to focus on the text box

How to directly get to the top of webpage?
Just like iOS where you just touch the top center of the webpage to get you to the top of it.
I'd also like to know this.
get dolphin browser from market and use gestures to go to the top of a web page.

when the browser is open put finger on the edge of screen on either side you will see nine option the glode will get you the address window...
I also need a solution for this. Because when i am far down on a site and wants to go back to the top, I don't want to scroll all the way!
as posted earlier just download Dolphin Browser and use the gestures.
I personally frefer the stock one and don't really want to use Dolphin. Hope someone makes a fix
Ok so my phone (LG G5) has recently seen a host of updates from Google. Currently on V7.0. quite simply I'm stuck with the Google app as a default homepage like so
https://flic.kr/p/YaKCPg
Whereas I'm used to and would like to keep the original like this
https://flic.kr/p/ZbTzaR
I've double checked my settings and the homepage is definitely Google as pushing the home icon brings it up. Is there a work round to get the original back in a new tab without having to push 'home' every time?
Many thanks. Hope this hasn't already been asked and the links work ok.
Did you check home screen settings in the chrome?
I believe it's a change in chrome. So roll back to older version and give it a try.

Yep. My chrome homepage is google.co.uk which works when you tap the home button just not when you open a new tab.
