World off line and Opera

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.

i have already flashed to 2 diff. roms and its a no go. is a hard reset diff. from flashing roms?
ok hard reset did the trick. i guess the problem was in my backup files. thanks a bunch!!

still doesn't work
kn, i thought i had it figured out, but no. after a hard reset, i can download one time. after that i get the error "Don't know how to handle request in ext:". it's wierd, if i only open IE i can download things. something happens when i browse with opera and attempt to download. i give up

Why don´t you try Opera mobile or Opera Mini, anyway those are much better than IE
Good luck

well that is where i noticed the problem. i use opera mini and when i dload a file it jumps to IE (unless i use 4.1 and i have a choice). this has never been a problem till friday morning. now when IE gets a url to dload, i get an odd error. if i launch IE and dload the file on my own, it works. same with mini. i liked being able to browse opera while IE was dloading in the background. i have no idea why this happened.

Opera not working at times..

Hi guys quick question.. im having problems with my opera browser.. If I login once and browse everything is fine.. but if I come back couple hours later and broswer again it doesnt work.. unless I perform a soft reset.. I did some searching couldn't really find anything... is there some certain setting I should have? I'm running NATF 2.3 Rom
Update: Okay it must something up with opera because when I use Skyfire or IE it works fine.. but with opera it doesn't.. I installed the cab Flashlite 3.1 a week ago but the problem started couple days ago.. help anyone?

i have a similar issue sometimes....im using a different rom, but try this.....
when u notice that opera isnt working correctly, close out of it, open up a task manager (i use dotfred's task manager), and kill the opera9.exe process....
open up opera again, and try browsing....hopefully that works...seems to work for me

Do you think it might be a bad flash? I don't know but it sucks.. and I don't trust Skyfire with logins etc.. but its a good browser

Opera just died on me

X7510 running stock ROM, WM 6.1.
When I go to start Opera, or click on a link in an email, the flash screen starts up, the graphic works on the flash screen, then nothing, the app itself refuses to launch. Yes I have tried a soft reset.
As a workaround, how could I make something else the default browser, like Netfront Access, so that it would automatically start when I click on a web link?
thanks

try setting
try setting,personal then buttons from there you can change it to any browser you have installed,so when you hold on to home button it should open up the browser that you set.

thanks, that works, but the problem is that if I click on a link in an email, it automatically tries to open Opera, and of course fails. I would like it to open the beta of Netfront Access, or even a different beta of Opera, but at least to open some working browser that goes to the link!!
Is there some way of setting the default browser in the registry?
thanks
rjstep3

i think i have the same problem
when i try to access my email or sign in on ebay.it shuts opera down even if i use internet explorer.why dont you set up a direct email so it dosent open opera

not sure what you mean by setting up a direct email ...

I don't think you can- and it frustrates the hell out of me as well
I want to use Netfront for all browser activity and I have it set as the default browser, but any web links within emails still open Opera. I've tried going right through the registry changing all the references to Opera to point to Netfront but it still happens so there must be a hard coded instruction somewhere!

thanks - I tried the latest beta of Opera, but it too failed saying that it couldn't initiate DirectDraw, whavever that may mean.
I have re-loaded now, see what happens.
thanks - and I agree with the frustration over app associations!

Best browster with Flash for HD2?

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

isnt this thread for flash browsers, and as far as i know is skyfire the only "full" flash supptoring browser, which dont just load YouTube videos. sadly it doesnt support tabs...

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.
