OPera Favorites

/ first let me put on my flame retardant clothes.
does anyone have any idea how to export the opera browser favorites to pie.
I'm running opera 8.65 mobile (2779). For some reason my pie favorites synced with my pc and they all got screwed up. Some are still there but most are gone. However, my opera favorites are perfect.
thanks in advance and please go easy.

I'll take everyones silence as either a no or dont feel like wasting time. Either way, it was worth a shot. Sorry for the new thread. I was just out of options.
EDIT:
I guess its down to manually writing them down and putting them in pie. Thanks anyway.

I previously tried to find a solution to this too. Till now.. sad to say.. there is no simple way..

damn, I was hoping for one. Thanks anyway.

the long way would be to manually add one by copy and paste from opera to pie.
the medium way would be to use opera link to sync opera 8.65 with opera on your desktop. then using ie on your desktop, import your favorites from opera. then lastly, using active sync, sync your favorites on your pc with pie.
not as tedious as the first way, but it gets the job done

I have installed and it's rather nice, data usage more than mini bout 2.5x on large pages, it's quick on page load, it's got a neat cube effect for history, got tabed browsing trying to get used to as it has no open in new tab, can't work out how to get to home page without closing or setting as bookmark. Oh and a mouse pointer like mimi.

wow. that helped in no way to answer my question..let me rephrase:
you have used many browsers from what i can tell. how does IRIS stack up next to the others?

yeah, the home page thing is goofy. other than that i love it. i turned off that page overview though. it was annoying me. so far it's very fast. i might use this over opera.

you are a gentleman and a scholar.
i appreciate the quick run down. i guess ill give it a shot...
edit: hahah jeez..i make it sound like its manual labor to download and install....it must be monday...or im that damn lazy and unmotivated.

forgot to mention: i'm running the t-zones on t-mobile.

hmmm, other than having to get use to it and no obvious active zoom in and out buttons...i like it.

Also I'm gonna try and tweak the registry a bit...the scrollbars are WAY too thick.

can't find the registry settings...any help?

it looks like there is code available on the download page. that's not really my area though.

Yeah it was hardcore having to install that .cab, Just wanna congratulate you on your sticky that's slick.
After a bit of use i would say it's nice and free, but does not compare to Opera Mobile or Mini, i could see in the future it could with a little bit of tweaking, Home Page, Open in new tab.
Will keep it on phone and hope updates solve this.

i downloaded it but if i go on you tube press play video it states error the url does not use a recocognised protocol... i have a htc s 620

here we go......

If your new, what you do is use this button called "Search" button. Every site I have registered for, and trust me - when i say every site, i mean a lot of them be it mobile, car etc. How is that I've always been able to find my way by using the "search" button but most new users will not do that. Give the search button a try and just see the results, almost everything has been gone over.
Welcome to the site and Enjoy your stay here.
To answer your question, it's because you need to install TCPMP (A Media Player with special flash codecs) or search for vTAP for you to play youtube videos. Good Luck!
P.S: Noone is trying to be rude or mean, it's just that some members get ticked off because everyday we have newbies coming in and asking the same questions. Go through the first few stickies and you'll find that almost all your questions have been answered.

i do have tcpmp installed but it still comes up with error i did search but it came up with irelevent answers like unrecognised usb etcs
i think ill give the iris a miss

how to set the opera in HD2 to show scroll bar?

i try to set it in 'about:config' but it has no response! i have checked the box of show scroll bar but no change! can anyone help! many thanks!

i havent tryd this so just guessing, but isnt it like the other scrollbars? where you have to hold your thumb far right for the scrollbar button to 'grow out'?

i've tried but the scroll box dont come out!

it is very inconvenient especially when need to drag down to the bottom. now i have to scroll with finger many times! pls help!

Has anyone found the solution to this problem yet?

Come on guys? Am I the only one who visit long web pages?

did anyone find a solution to this.
Is is not possible to have a pop-out enlargened scroll bay in Opera.

Sorry guys but Opera just doesnt have a real scrollbar. All you can see there is a sort of indicator, not more not less. It is just not an active part of Opera just a visual thing. You cant do anything about that...

How can these very basic function be missing in opera which is supposedly one of the best browser!
Even stranger is that I spend two hours searching and noticed that not much people are complaining about this......
Very bad when trying to read entries from wikipedia. Had to flick my finger till I feel like throwing the phone out the windows! Guess I've to start searching for an alternative browser.....

I often read large documents with opera. Getting to the bottom of one webpage I had to swipe down 500 times - yes I counted them!
I agree this should be a standard function of any browser.

Aldiko Problem on X10 Mini

Aldiko book reader renders the pages a little bigger than the screen, so after a few pages the text starts to move to the right, and on the left of the page appears text from the previous page. After a few pages, depending on the book, this becomes unreadable.
Any solution or settings for Calibre (or other convert program)
THX

Hi there mate, sorry to hear about that, the driving force for my X10 was that the screen made an amazing ebook reader. As of yet i have not hit your problem
I havnt used their internal store i imported my own and used this converter
(http://ebook.online-convert.com/convert-to-epub) so maybe try re-converting or re-downloading
may i suggest also turning off oreintations AND / OR animations i have them both OFF and they may be the reason.
Does your ebook have may picutres? or iregular formatting?? that might be the issue
reinstall the program, im using the premium version which as far as i know has nothing new its just to suppor the dev's but maybe try that??
let me know if it works or not
ALSO wat sub model im using the x10i from NZ wbu??

sorry just re-read your post and i didnt realise that you have an x10 mini, still try some of my suggestings, it may just be your tiny screen size

I think that is not problem screen size, with FBreader or WordPlayer have not problem with rendering,only with Aldiko.Will try some of Your suggestions
THX

well as far as im concerned aldiko is the un-disputed best ebook app on the market and if i were in your shoes i'd try my hardest to get it to work, but if it doesnt work for ya wat can you do?? SHORT OR REINSTALLING THE OS??? and u dont wana do that!!!

It definetely has to do with the small screen size, unfortunately.
Maybe in a future update of the Aldiko app, the low screen resolution will be better supported. But in general, such small screens are not intended for reading.

Maybe help Update.
Reading is OK,I step from K810i to X10 Mini and is perfect.

I have a similar problem, though the other way around. As each chapter starts in Sun Tsu "The Art of War", that comes with Aldiko, the page is correctly displayed, but for each new page within a chapter you see a little bit more of the next page on the right of the screen and a little bit more of the page you're on disappears on the left. I have found no layout settings to fix this. I assume you all can reproduce this and that it is due to a bug in Aldiko that will hopefully be corrected.

Problem solved after new Aldiko update.

Polaris Office app

I feel I should tell people who do a lot of word, ppt, excel that the Polaris Office app that comes preinstalled on TF is much SUPERIOR to quickoffice hd pro that supposedly is designed for tablets. The words are mixed up and ppt sides that I use in my word documents don't show up clearly on quickoffice, but they run perfectly fine on Polaris, so don't rush into buying an office suite for your TF, because Polaris gets the job done well.

Thanks for passing that info on. One reason I want a TF over the Acer or Xoom is because it comes with that software.

hi there. have you guys have any idea how to insert an image (eg from my gallery) into an excel spreadsheet in the said app? There dont seem to be any option to do that. I even searched the Polaris website for help, but to no avail.

For everyone interested, I just this morning updated my Office Suite comparison over in the XOOM forum to include Polaris Office (PowerPoint only for now). The link is in my signature. I will update the Word and Excel comparison soon.

does Polaris office do multi-worksheet formulas/lookups in Excel?

That's a big negatory. All the pages are there but calcs between them do not work. Same issue with DTG. I have not tried quickoffice yet so I do not know if this feature works with it.
To confirm I'm talking about gdocs that I pull down, I have not created a spreadsheet from scratch to try the calc across sheets with PO.

Well that sucks...it's a pretty important feature.

I'm using it for work and it does work well. I wish you could create and save to dropbox folders then have them sync properly. Polaris needs to write to the dropbox api or dropbox needs to add support for file moves and creation to android.

I admit that I am not the best speller. Thus I wish there was spell and grammar check.

It will work at some point, for now I just combine multiple pages into one large page for stuff I have to view on the go.

Does anyone know how to "select" text in the Docs app? As stupid as this sounds, I haven't figured out how to do it yet.
Thanks in advance to anyone who responds.

Open the document, go into Edit mode and then double-tap into the text. You'll see something like two pins enclosing selected text. Use the "Ribbon" to copy/cut/paste.

Thanks!

One more question: Any idea how to change the page margins?

Not sure that's possible with any of the current apps. They are very limited in their functionality; the devs don't seem to expect tablet users to do serious work :-|

Thanks for responding. I edited my document on my desktop as a DOCX with half inch margins, then sent it to my TF, opened it and saved it as a DOC. That did the trick. From now on, that will be my template.

You're very welcome! All these questions are important for me too

Polaris would be great if I was able to paste text into the app that was copied from other apps. It looks as though this was possible prior to 3.1, but is broken now. That's a pretty big requirement for me.

Polaris is terrible if you use Google Docs.
QuickOffice is the ONLY application that will let you freely edit Google Doc spreadsheets as if you were on a PC.
Otherwise Polaris is a nice app, if you don't use Google Docs. At all.
