Hi everyone,
This is my first thread so I would like to say hello to everyone in this family, first of all.
OK, now the problem. I use world off line to record the news and other websites so I can read them every day when I go on the tube. For that and by default WOL uses Internet Explorer, but can someone tell me if it's posible to view WOL contents in Opera (as I like more the browser in my VGA pda). I've tried already setting up Opera as a default browser, but it still launches internet explorer.
Thank you.

Are you sure you did check in the "Set as default browser" checkbox in Opera Mobile? Try it once more and also make sure you poiwer down your PPC BEFORE resetting it (so that the Registry changes are surely flushed back to the Flash ROM)
I followed your advice but still the same, launches IE by default. I've emailed Sunnysoft to see if they can help me. I'll let you know if there is any advance.
Thank you for your help.

OIC, so, you're using the Sunnyosft Language Extender?
I have this phone for 1 month or so..
Can't seem to find anything in the phone, useless manual or on the net..
heard something about registry..something..
Have no idea how to do that.. it's just annoying to press "favorites" and "google" every time I open Explorer.
someone?
I have irritated myself about this too. I recommend you try Opera instead, I can almost guarantee you'll be much more satisfied with it. I installed it yesterday (far too late, should have done it ages ago), and am very happy with it.
Thanks, I'll try that.
where can i get the opera browser that works ? i try opera 8.0 and there its issue with buttons ..

if you have access to a registry editor, you will need to edit the paths below
hklm -> software -> microsoft -> internet explorer -> about urls -> howe_xxx
change the entry in home xxx depending on the version of handset, this can be found out based on the default start page idisplayed.

thank you.
btw, That's what I call a user-friendly operating system.
GOOD JOB MICROSOFT!

download opera 8.65 for smartphone. This works like charm on Vox device.
Hey guys, two questions about opera:
1- there is a school website that i visit regularly, and on the homepage you can usually see the most recent posts in the forum. The problem is that i cant see those posts when i go there usuing at&t connection, but they show up fine when i go there on wifi. Whats the difference? Is there something i can change?
2- this is just real annoying...when i go to a page, opera seems to keep moving the window down and to the right while the page is loading. If i double click to zoom in, the window will start moving all over the place. I find myself either waiting for the page to totally stop loading, or manually stopping it. Is anybody else having this problem? Any solutions? Thanks

not sure about your #1, but #2 is basically just annoying quirks in the application. It is still opera beta, so its not perfect yet. If your looking for an alternative you might wanna try skyfire. If you type in get.skyfire.com right in opera you can get a cab for it. That may solve your #1 also since skyfire pre-renders the pages for you and they dont use a proxy like opera does.
Hope that helps.
hiho
i have ROm 1.48 on my phone, and IE + Opera 9. The most time i surf with Opera 9. But i hear, there are more browsers for the HD2.
What is the fastest browser for the HD2 at the moment, and where can i get it?
How can i upgrade the IE, if a update is available.
Can u post plz the URLS for the Browsers. I hear only about the IE, opera, Fennec and Skyfire. But could not find any URL.
Last but not least
how can i uninstall Apps like (Bing, Windows Start, Alc Copilot etc.)?
cant find them in the Program deinstallation.
thx
Skyfire download page. It supports flash but I can't say it's the best browser I've ever used. I use my Opera...
ok thx. try this out
i use the Opera 9.7 i think. Is it better to upgrade to Opera 10? What is better in Version 10? Faster browsing? Have V 10 Flash support?
Skyfire is great for its Flash support (it even handles Silverlight) but is annoying otherwise. For anything that doesn't require Skyfire, I stick to the built-in version of Opera. The Beta version of Opera Mobile 10 isn't bad, but I don't like the whole only-two-levels-of-zoom thing.
I really begin to hate opera, it has problem with more and more sites. for example tvrage.com I can't even login. I send my u/p and I'm back at the login page but not logged in. lastpass.com doesn't work, it just goes nowhere. but I get a lot of those annoying layer-ads.
really, opera mobile 9.7 is a big ****-up.
I'll have a look at skyfire until ff mobile is out.

Opera Mini still is the best!
By the way: You can use the attached file to get a signed version of Opera Mini 5 Beta 2 so you no longer have to allow data connections everytime you open it... Just place the zipped file inside "My Documents" and "install from storage" (or whatever your version of Java says) and it should work!
Thank you

Just put that into my phone, great not having to keep allowing net access and permission... just one question, is there a way i can make opera mini into a shortcut onto the quick links page? I can make Jblend (which handles java programs) but i cant seem to make a program inside it become a quick link?
Hope you can help or anyone else please
Opera mini 5 supports flash ?
Opera Mini is better than Opera Mobile?
Browers HD2
Opera beta 10 is brilliant

Yes! It has pretty much exactly the same interface and is A LOT faster, even if you enable Turbo in Opera Mobile!

depends on your point of view, opera mini (4, 5 or 5.2) has always been much faster to load up web pages, Opera (standard) is fine if you have a hsdpa signal, but its way to slow to be useful in just 3g speeds.. Opera mini still battles on and makes it not that annoying.

No, I'm sorry, I have no idea!
The strange thing is: On SOME ROMs (back when I used my Blackstone) installing Opera Mini DID create it's own shortcut. On others it doesn't... No idea, what the critieria is...
EDIT: If you find a way, please let me know!
EDIT2: Just found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=258141 Should be helpful! Since I use Esmertec instead of JBlend, you have to check for yourself!
I installed Opera mini 5 by going to the offical download page in my phone browser. It couldnt identify my phone. Does that mean it dosent support hd2?
I could install it anyway but when i try to log on facebook i cant write in the login box.

Hey, I got HTC Pure which already as an standard facebook application but the problem is that I don`t have the option to search people...I mean I want it like a real computer where you can go to facebook and you get search bar located on your right and you could search people you may know, so that kinda suck on the application I don`t have that search thing but I see it on blackberry they do have the search option, I even tried to use the browser such as opera to go to facebook.com and thought it might be the exact same like on a computer but no..it doesnt work the way it should be for me and this time I do get search located on the right but when I searched someone and clicked on their profile it automaticly brings me to me own profile...how stupid that is huh?
Hope there is a good soul out there that got an solution for this..
log in to windows marketplace and download the lastest version of facebook
