I tried this browser a while back and it was very buggy, uploading data to Craigslist or pictures to otther forums was a no go. Text input was a mess, and the overall experience was just buggy.
I have to say that sine the latest update (whenever that was... I seemed to have missed it) this browser can take anything I throw at it.
It seems faster than dolphin for pad which was my daily driver until I realized all of these bugs had been addressed. The graphics and speed are spectacular IMO and I honestly can't find any glitches.
Anyone else notice how awesome this opera moblie is now?

point it to espn 3 and watch a stream, it'll crash. stock browser will crash too.
i am on vanilla 3.1 HC with no TW .
there is no HA on flash videos, other than that it is perfect..
Just did. Watched 3 different streams without crashing. A little slow but nothing too bad. Once started it streamed just fine.
Latest touchwiz ' latest opera
Give me another..

The most annoying bug Opera Mobile has (or used to have, havn't used it in a while), has to do with text input fields like the "quick reply" box I'm just typing in. It loses all the text when unselecting the input field the first time and also when clicking on something like "post reply" or "advanced/preview".
You need to select the field, unselect it and select it again before you can start typing. The second time I lost a lengthy reply to that bug because I forgot to do so I stopped using Opera Mobile.
I like Opera Mobile but the market says the last update was june 30, so no update for quite some time. Is this bug really gone?

I had that too, but there is a quick fix for it. Set the zoom rate from 125% or so it is now to 100%. No more disapearing text.
Yes.. That's fixed.

Ahhh.. I see..
What else is Opera "missing"
I kinda feel dumb cuz I don't know if its actually something in predictive text settings I'm just missing or what. The problem is when I'm typing something in, primarily notice it in browser searching, I'll type words, then space bar, then word, space bar, etc etc. However, about 50% of the time, when I hit the space bar, it just deletes out the word I just typed and inserts another space. Last night I was trying to search "Galaxy S3 tips and tricks" and the whole thing came out "Galaxy S3[space][space][space]. WTF is going on here? Are others experiencing this at all? Its soooooo annoying.
FYI, it doesn't do it at all when typing out text messages so I'm wondering if it is something to do with browser or what. I tried clearing Samsung Keyboard cache and data and it worked for a bit, then started doing it again.
I think its definately keyboard related cuz if I switch and use a different keyboard, the issues disappear

I had this issue using the last version of Swype - Using the latest beta seems to have fixed it though.

I signed up for the beta on the Swype website, but a little confused as to how to really get my hands on the beta. Am I waiting for something to show up in my in-box or am I missing a link somewhere?
I believe you have to wait until the folks at Swype send you an email inviting you to the beta. IIRC it took about three days for mine to arrive when I signed up a year or so ago.
This and the copy paste issue is driving me nuts. How can they have such buggery on the shelves? I won't post off topic (not that I could copy/paste the link to that thread here anyway).
So my only option is beta, some pokey free or costly 3rd party keyboard app? Google tells me that, as these keyboards require internet access, I'm at risk of key logging activity due to the combination of permissions they require.
The SwiftKey Flow beta is open now. The blog with downloads for phone and tablet can be found here, and the video overview is here.

OK so I have the evo 3d but I use it in tablet mode so should I DL the tablet version?

I don't think so. The tablet version has a split keypad so you can use both thumbs but you don't really need that on a phone.

Used it to type this post. It's working well so far.
Thanks for the thread, keyboard is awesome.

I guess that's why it's a beta.
There is a lot of good information about SwiftKey Flow on their VIP site, and you can provide feedback as well, but you need to register to use it.

Got it.. thanks for the help
be sure to swipe down to the space key after every word. I was doing this mistake and thinking hey this keyboard is crap
Love the theming options in this keyboard!
Amazing keyboard. Thought the android 4.2 keyboard was the best, then they just released this. I don't think it's really a "flow through space" kind of thing, but more like a fly through time being that you saved so much time instead of going letter for letter. Made the same mistake about not swiping down to the space bar also.
Another update
The Swiftkey Flow beta has been updated again and the current version expires on January 30 so now would be a good time to update if you plan to continue using it.
ramjet73
Just got news that my SwiftKey Flow beta expired today. Tried going to vip.swiftkey.net but no luck. Webpage loaded but nothing shows. Said fuggit and downloaded the Swype Beta. IMO, completely sucks compared to SKF.

Did you try downloading the SwiftKey_Flow_Public_Beta-4.0.0.61.apk version from the link in the post right above yours?
ramjet73
Yessir. Got it the day AP said there was an update for it. Had it for a few days, then got the notice today.

Just installed 4.0.0.61 on a clean flash of PacMan and it's working fine. In "About SwiftKey Flow" it says "This is a time limited version which expires on Jan 30, 2013".
You might want to try uninstalling and re-installing the new apk.
Edit: Also, to access the VIP section you need to create an account and login. It will look empty until you do that.

I just re-installed over it and ir seems to be working fine now. Im pretty sure itll happen to you later on too. Unless you signed up for the VIP. How do I sign up if the page is empty?

Does the page look like the attached image to you? If so, click the green "Create Account" button in the upper right hand corner to signup.

No sir it does not. I use dolphin Web browser with the Android user agent. Would it load if I change my UA to desktop?

I don't know, but it might be worth a try. That screenshot is from Chrome on a Windows PC so you could also try Chrome for Android if you can't get Dolphin to work.

Worked by changing the UA to desktop in Dolphin. Thank you very much. What exactly does the VIP grant access to?

One question, the registration question: "what is the name of our keyboard app?" I typed SwiftKey, SwiftKey Flow, swiftkey, etc. No go. WTH?
I have Chrome sync running. Shows it is syncing fine under the accounts area and all bookmarks, etc. sync. A couple of times since last night when I open Chrome I get a couldn't sign in prompt. Clicking next does nothing. Running stock rooted mk2. If I close Chrome and reopen all is fine. I can also go into the accounts/sync area and tell it to sync and it works.
Also getting distorted text on xda (but nowhere else yet at least). Screenshot attached. Any thoughts?

Are you using chrome beta? Cuz my beta does the same text distortion and I have to go into landscape mode for it to clear up and be readable. It's very annoying. I haven't tried going back to just the regular chrome version to test it...

Regular Chrome, not beta. I think they might have just pushed an update in the past day or so. maybe that is the culprit. So landscape and back fixes it then?

Yea maybe.. It usually fixes it for me but not every single time.

So no "Couldn't sign in" issues for anyone else though. Been like 4 times today. Only happens when I open chrome, but if i hit back it just works and bookmarks and such seem to be syncing. Maybe a google now issue?
So are we really the only ones with the Chrome text flow issue?

You aren't alone on the sign in issue. It happens rarely, but it's started doing it the last two days or so. When I click next it says something about an error and not being able to sign in or something.
After the latest update, it seems like "Touch to save" option has disappeared in Google keyboard. This really makes the process of saving new words to the dictionary painful. We need to select the word click on Add to dictionary and then Ok to save any new word which is a tiresome process.
If anyone had found an easier way to save new words to the Google keyboard dictionary easily, please post that solution here. By the way, double clicking the word also doesn't work. My device is moto g and I believe this is a common issue for any device.
No answers at all? I thought I'll get help on xda
Same here CM 12.1
I too am getting this issue plus I cannot even sync my personal dictionary from the other mobile. Had loads of words saved there. Plus, the AOSP keyboard is doing the same, nothing. Wonder when will it fix. Is it just an installation problem?
Okay, so its been months and I don't think things would go good. The only thing I could do was to install SwiftKey and so far, the experience has not been disappointing, great actually. It does all that Google keyboard does (and did),and more .

It syncs properly now on Google keyboard. You need to goto settings and enable sync.

Sometimes, when the keyboard can't find internet connection your words will not appear in the suggestions. I think this happens because all the words are in cloud not on the phone itself.
Well, my phone is almost always connected to the internet, so that should not be a problem. Anyways, I haven't tried the latest, GBoard, so I can't really say if it has been fixed.
