New Opera Mini 4 build out, fixing the image issues! - General Topics

Opera Mini (see review, comparison & tutorial HERE) is my favorite Web browser now that version 4 added seamless bookmark synchronization and full page view capabilities.
Up until now, it had problems with pages having several images: it didn’t show them in their entirety / flashed them all the time etc. The just-released new version, available for download HERE, is stated to have solved this issue.
Also note that, in the meantime, there have been a lot of news with the “use Opera Mini as the default system-level browser!” project. See THIS for the latest news.

thanks for the info

it seems that this version doesn't support fullscreen mode. can you confirm?

It does - double-checked this on my Universal. Just do one of the ** shortcuts I've explained in my Button Enhancer Bible to switch between the two modes.
Of course,, the Settingfs menu indeed doesn't show the "Full screen mode" checkbox - but the 4.x series has never done so on Windows Mobile, only on other OS'es. This has also been emphasized in my past articles.

i'm sorry to report it doesn't works for me. the long lasting images problem is still there. maybe
last build improved things a bit, but have you tried visiting a mobile-review review?
or it's time to update my jbed midlet manager?
glad to know they're working on this, though, opera mini team it's the diamond's edge of developers, IMHO

On a QVGA device, without frames and copy/paste support, maybe. Otherwise, particularly if you have a VGA device, go for something else; for example, Opera Mobile or, to a lesser degree, the PIE + new (!) PIEPlus 2.2 combo OR NetFront 3.4 TP.
Please see my previous articles & comparisons of all these browsers so that you'll see what their particular strengths / weaknesses are and how they compare; these articles can all be found here in the forum.
pieplus works good for me. minimo is more than my device likes to handle (plus bad bookmark support).

Yup, Minimo runs pretty slow on some models / ROM versions.
Minimo is very slow to load but once it has, it is fine on my orbit overclocked of course. I like to use tabs so it is handy. Loads more features than PIE.
For me, the best browser is the almost new Opera Mobile 8.65. It got new options to download images and to import IE Favorites, among other new things, and it's very fast.
Could you please post a link to the Opera 8.65 for pocket PC.
I have checked their site and the latest version yet available for download is 8.60 which I am already using and it provides no way to import the Internet explorer favourite links. So I guess 8.65 may be a beta version. A link for download would be most helpful, though I could see the version 8.65 for the Symbian S60 which will obviously not work for us the PPC users.
Thanks and Regards

Here is the link, with the new features. But it's true that when you try to download, the version is 8.60u2 (?).

I attached some captures with the versión page, the "Save Image" option and the "Import IE Favorites" option.

I got it from a blog pointing to the page that I posted before and to a download link. But the download link is dead. So I guess that it may it be a pre-release version. Another thing, It doesn't asks for a registration code. It's very strange.
It runs very well (except the flash support that doesn't runs or I don't know how to make it runs). Even the "old" trick to translate cache and other files to the SD card runs well...
I got the CAB in my Desktop so, if someone wants to try, it I will upload it.

Menneisyys' comment: sorry, as a moderator, I'm also responsible (to some extent) for what files the XDA-Dev forum (or, at least, the threads I contribute to and, therefore, am bound to know the contents of) contains. This is why I've removed the link after speaking to the Opera folks: the file turned out to be a pre-release betatest version, in no way to be distributed. That is, someone from the betatest team has leaked the pre-production, NDA'd test version - at least this is what I think the case is.
Thanks again for the URL and the effort you've provided me the file (it's really appreciated); sorry, again, for my having to remove the link.
Could you please also remove the file from RapidUpload as well? (If it takes too much effort, then, don't do it. Just don't spread the URL.)

There's an answer there now:
For the record, Opera Mobile 8.65 for WM is still not released. And this page should not be public. :smile:
When the release is here, this will of course be announced. At least now you know what to look foward to. :wink:

Browsing the Web on MS Smartphone (WM Standard) devices & Review of Opera Mini 4 beta

Browsing the Web on MS Smartphone (WM Standard) devices & Review of Opera Mini 4 beta
Make sure you read http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1358226 – you’ll find it VERY useful!
Also, make sure you follow my articles posted to the generic General forum forum (http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=256 ). I discuss Smartphone compliance in EVERY of my articles, but only post a note to this forum on the most important ones to avoid excessive flooding.
Unfortunately, unlike on the desktop, where there is a more or less solid and compatible (albeit pretty slow) official Flash implementation from Adobe (ex-Macromedia; from now on, I only refer to it as “Adobe”) itself (and the alternative, albeit a bit worse and much more CPU-hungry player integrated into NetFront), Smartphone users have always been left in the cold. Much as Adobe has been addressed several petitions (see for example THIS one at MoDaCo), the Smartphone still haven’t received a real Flash player.

New streaming media site

Hi,
I've just finished my new website:
http://www.todaypda.com/
The beste page is the streaming page, you can find 1055 radio streams and 698 television streams (also webcams).
My question is: what do you think about the site? And what should be changed?
Greetingz Themuzz
ps I don't know if it's allowed to post this here, if not: my excuses
Edit:
5870 Radio streams
1311 Television streams
25 Countries
Also the possibility to create your own PDA startpage
Thanx, I will stick to this thread. I only want some feedback what should be changed or could be better.
wow good work. this site works great, 1 suggestion, 1 question.
Suggetion: Make page single column adjusted left not centered. This would make browsing from the pda easier, no scrolling left/right only up/down.
Question: any possibility for compatability with netfront browser or does it use java.

I thought 2 columns would be small enough to fit on a pda screen but I forgot there are many, many different PDA's (or smartphones). So:
Under settings you can switch between 1 or 2 columns, so everything will fit!

I will look at this.
I've looked at your problem with Netfront but I can't find any problem. It works perfect for me.
Would you like to give a description what doesn't work?
I'm also looking at live stocks, does anyone know some live stock streams?
Great site! Looks good with single column and loads fast. Checked out the CCTV streams and a few from around the world...they all worked great. Added to bookmarks..thanks!
Thanx,
I've just added some sort a live stocks to the website:
http://www.todaypda.com/stocks/quotes.html
It's an ajax script that refreshes every 3 seconds. So it only works when the market is open.
please let me know what you think about it.
I've just added a translate page. You can translate text and words to the most common languages.
Please let me know what you think about it.
All I can say is WOW!
I guess this site doesn't work with Pie Plus too since nothing is loading from it.
Edited:
Nevemind, it just the first 2 some too many spaces in the asx file it it didn't work. Very nice!!!!
I've just updated a lot of stuff.
Added about 400 streams (still need to check if some old streaming links are working or not).
Added a chat application with chatbox capability (and automatic refresh)
Added a search application where you can search the web, images and lyrics
And more (news, etc).
I woul appreciate it to get some feedback from you guys!
Greetingz Themuzz
Note. So feedback like why you use it everyday or why you don't ever use it again are welcome! (you are allowed to scream: It sucks! Because... )

Thanks! Work great on both PIE and Opera 9.5 on my X7510. Worth keeping.
I like that it loads fast and that the sites' look clean. If ever you plan on adding advertisements, make sure they are on one column.
Thanks for posting.
Very nice site mate, very nice indeed.
And consider it tested on a the uber screen of the Toshiba G900 (800x480 res) and it looks very nice indeed, landscape or portrait. That also means it has a good chance of working on the Sony Xperia X1, should it ever actually launch - its the same screen.
Thanks for the feedback (cktlcmd & Monty Burns)!
cktlcmd, there are already advertisements on the "view stream" pages.
For example:
http://www.todaypda.com/en/stream/show-stream.html?stream=webcam_661
What do you mean with one column? This ad is already one column and now i'm wondering if this displays correct
There is also the option to view everything one column (for streams) if you go to the settings page.
More feedback is appreciated

Why is Opera mobile so crappy? (Rant)

This is another one of my multi-site threads, allright now lets get started with my claims. I will start with talking about the very first version of opera mobile ive ever used, it was 8.5.x it loaded the PC versions of every site BUT it would often cry low memory and then crash and it would also not display text right (larger than normal even with settings on minimum) and when i would type it would input large spaces in between words and yet we were expected to pay $29.99 for it (were they crazy?).
Now that i am on my HTC touch pro which comes with opera 9.5 preinstalled it runs pretty stable but there are still problems.
-it cries low memory even tho i have plenty of RAM free and then stops loading a webpage.
-regular links dont respond when i click them unless i do it about after 20 times or so
-mobile site redirects (but this is fixed with the UA hacks)
-rendering problems on sites, certain boxes dont pop up (ie. facebook friend request dialogs.),cant respond to messages on myspace.com or compose new ones, this means i cant do a new browse when away from the computer.opera officials and tech bloggers cite that opera mobile has excellent ajax and web standards support tho my experience is quite the opposite.
-when typing the screen does not scroll over as i type.
-CANT even close it or access it from the task manager unless you do some hacking.
-links sometimes dont respond unless i pull out stylus or press on it multiple times.
-CANT render the frames on my schools student websites properly (ie blackboard NOTE: PIE does this perfectly)
-CRASHES when trying to access ppcgeeks.com
I've also tried most of the opera 9.7 betas and its improved all issues I've had with opera 9.5 except:
-mobile site redirects are worse even with the UA hacks
-screen corruption problems when i recieve a text message, email or IM
-tap and hold menus sometimes dont work
-still cant send messages on myspace and other networking sites
now we are at opera 10 the latest beta suffers these problems
-memory hog
-graphics on sites are pixelated
-does not play nice with OzIM
-mobile redirects are solved with UA hacks tho i would like to see them resolved without having to do this.
-STILL cannot send messages on myspace and tagged.com but at least can send friend requests and access notifications on facebook so thats an improvement.
-when typing with the touch screen, the type cursor moves back to the top line which causes me to have to use the hardware keyboard when typing 2 line messages.
WHY cant they get it right? the iris browser does not suffer these problems only thing i dont like about it is theres no text reflow when zooming in IM not giving them any of my $$$ until all these problems are resolved and also if it will have flash support. has anyone found other issues other than those i have reported? and is there a build of opera mobile that does not suffer these issues, if so can i have a link to it?
Sorry to hear you had such bad experience
On mine, Opera Mobile 10 b2 is working great and I´m so happy with it
The new tab selection is just great!
You seem to be having a great many problems, most of which i have not sufferered on any of my devices (diamond, topaz, HD2)
Im currently using opera 10b2 and its working very well.
sometimes i get the "not scrolling as im entering text" problem, and on a rare occasion i have trouble with redirects. but the majority of the time opera performs as i would expect
Maybe you could give more examples of sites you have trouble with and detail the problem. for example you mentioned PPCgeeks crashing but not what the crash was?
I have just visited PPCG and it rendered fine, i clicked a few links and it has all worked as expected prehaps the problems are specific to the version of opera you are running?
It may also be worth reporting your bugs direct to opera, it will allow them to better address shortcomings in their product in the future.

well the crashes on ppcgeeks only occur in 9.5. the rendering problems I have are with ajax for example on the full facebook site I can't comment on status updates or send friend requests because the ajax boxes don't pop up. it works a lot better in version 10 but still not as good as iris or skyfire browser and WOW I just discovered something else. I went to the official opera forums and I couldn't even answer any threads because the reply forms wouldn't appear. the bug report form also didn't appear. that's a shame when a browser doesn't support its own site.

Would agree with Orb, using Opera 10 beta 2 and having no issues with it.
Opera 9.7 and 10 both can not render Hotmail right ( when in desktop view ). You can not reply to messages or compose new ones. You just can't type in the message body field. Opera should attend this problem, since it seems like the problem has been out there for a long time.

New Opera Mini 5 and Latest Jbed all-in-one cab

Trying to make things easier with Opera Mini 5 java (as the native WM Opera Mini is still beta and has some issues), I created a cab which spares you of headaches. I'm aware that there are other similar project in the forums, but this one is a little bit different.
This cab contains:
- latest Esmertect Jbed Java (20090506) (credits to Agrab)
- Opera Mini 5 final, presigned - it will ask no permissions
- Mortscript 2.5 and a connection script- this will automatically initialize your default internet connection when clicking the Opera Mini shortcut, thus saving some seconds of waiting times.
INSTRUCTIONS:
- If you already have Opera Mini 5 installed and don't wan
t to loose your data (bookmarks, quicklinks), before installing my cab go to Opera Mini>Settings, click Opera Link and create an account (this is fast and easy). Than login and synchronize your data.
- Important: if you already have Opera Mini and jbed installed, uninstall them and navigate to Windows folder and delete the appdb folder. Note that you will loose any other java apps installed.
- Install the right cab for your device (it will automatically install into internal memory)
- Perform a reboot, to allow registry updating.
- Enter Opera Mini>Settings>Opera Link, login and synchronise your data.
NOTES:
There are two versions of the cab:
- W/QVGA version - this one has the classic logo of Opera Mini as shortcut image in start menu, and is more suitable for low res devices. However, it works ok on W/VGA too.
-W/VGA version - this one uses the Opera icon part of Anastasia Iconset created by Dinik. This version is wm6.5/6.5.x only!
The font sizes are optimized for high resolution. If you encounter problems, post them here.
In this version of Jbed you are able to select all text in fullscreen edit mode by performing a double click. You can copy it if you use a keyboard which has copy-paste function (like Touchpal).
NEW RELEASE (April 22nd ):
- replaced Opera Mini 5.0.18365 with the very latest build 5.0.18741
- fixed security tap notification; now Opera Mini will install itself when clicking it's shortcut the first time.
- fixed the qvga cab; now you should have the right font sizes on qvga devices;
- these updates should fix the login issue reported in this thread
- I strongly suggest to all users who downloaded the previous versions to uninstall them and upgrade with these ones
UPDATE (April 27th )- ADDED CABS FOR MORE LANGUAGES:
For now, I only had the time to modify the WVGA version of my cab for 7 different languages. Will modify the QVGA cab for these languages as needed (by requests). If your language is not here, make a request; I'll consider to add other languages only based on at least 3 requests per language (however, I cannot promise).
DOWNLOAD
-Deutsch, Greek, Italian and Romanian see post #4 to get the cabs
-Polish, Russian and Swedish check post #6 to download
Known bugs:
- Esmertec Jbed doesn't respond well on screen rotation, occasionaly making Opera Mini bars go under system bars (this is a jbed problem). To make opera go back to normal exit the program (without closing it) and re-enter by clicking its shortcut in start menu (or Sense link ,today shortcut etc). recommend you deactivate G-sensor rotation for Jbed. To have Opera Mini in landscape just use it's dedicated option (under Opera's settings menu).
- on rare occasions Opera Mini refuses to connect. Just try again, it'll work.
- I noticed Opera Mini has problems with uploading long texts (it's a problem related to browsing timeouts). If you use it to post messages on forums, my advice is that you copy your text before you press the "Submit/Post" button. Sometimes you may find out that after you pressed submit, the browser just brings you to the last page, and your text has gone. This can be painful when you wrote a long text... but if you have copied it, it's easy to go again and just paste, then submit the text.
Congratulations man! I'll finish up the final version, to test the worth of your proposed applications. Keep up the good work.

Thanks,
OK, I modified the WVGA version of my cab with Opera Mini in few different languages. Now the cabs are compressed. Each cab is tested on my device. To install, please uninstall previous versions and delete "appdb" folder within Windows directory.
Ok then, will add to official thread
Thanks,
OK, thank you!
PS: by creating this thread I didn't intend to hijack other people work. I just found my own way of compiling Opera Mini and Jbed in a convenient way and wanted to share this with the community.
Added cabs for Russian, Polish and Swedish:

Hello,
I used this cab and logged into a ppcgeeks account. logged out and an hour later logged in, took me to someone else's account on PPGgeeks. so I was logged in as another user. This may be a problem especially if other users are logging in to more secure sites. Just wanted to let you know.
What a great idea, this auto-connect addition! I downloaded the QVGA version, but the menus are huge on my Kaiser: I think it is a VGA/WVGA version... haven't tried the version called WVGA.
@Cerberus_tm, just go to this registry: HKLM\Software\Apps\Esmertec Java\Device Info\Java Font and change the values inside these 3 keys:
-Size large: 32 (change it to somewhere between 22-26);
-Size Medium: 28 (change it to 18 or 20)
-Size small: 23 (change it to 16 or less)
Do a reset , than go to opera mini settings and choose your font size. Now you should have the right font sizes for your qvga screen.

How strange! I must admit that this happened to me too once! I wanted to login to my xda account, but apparently the browser logged me into somebody else's account (I don't recall the nickname). I immediately logged out and tried again and this time it logged me in correctly, in my account. That was kinda' creepy, you know...
However, my cab contains clean components, like many other opera mini and jbed builds. Something tells me the problem comes from opera servers and this is why I strongly suggest to all users not to use Opera Mini to login to their sensitive accounts (paypal, ebay etc), as sending and receiving data through intermediate servers is very unsafe.
To all downloaders, if you encounter this nasty problem occuring when using this build of opera mini, please report here immediately, I'll take the necessary measures.
the login issue it happened to me just now when login into gmail.
the second time I opened gmail it showed me some other user inbox.
I remember that the last time I used opera mini java, it asked me to press on the touchscreen or type random letters to create some sort of unique key to increase security.
maybe you (accidentaly) disabled this on your cab?
the last time I used the java version was one of the betas, so maybe this random key is no longer needed on the final version.
edit: I tried the final version of opera mini with jbed and installing manually, and indeed it asked me to tap the touchscreen randomly to improve security. after that (and changing my gmail password) I have not encountered the login-as-other-user issue (yet)
optyqus said:
I can assure you it's not the same. My cab uses Mortscript to do autoconnect, and you don't have to do the crappy job with that "selector.utf" file, as the jar file is pre-signed and the application will ask the permissions only the first time it connects/downloads/reads user data.

unfortunately does not remember passwords

the login issue it happened to me just now when login into gmail.
the second time I opened gmail it showed me some other user inbox.
I remember that the last time I used opera mini java, it asked me to press on the touchscreen or type random letters to create some sort of unique key to increase security.
maybe you (accidentaly) disabled this on your cab?
the last time I used the java version was one of the betas, so maybe this random key is no longer needed on the final version.
edit: I tried the final version of opera mini with jbed and installing manually, and indeed it asked me to tap the touchscreen randomly to improve security. after that (and changing my gmail password) I have not encountered the login-as-other-user issue (yet)

Thank you for your post, it gave me an idea on what could be the cause of the problem. As the opera mini contained in this cab is practically preinstalled, it will not ask to do the security screen taps. I'll study a way on how to bring back those security taps, it appears they are indeed important. Again, thank you.
I removed the cabs from first post in order to prevent further downloading, I will re-upload them as soon as I find a fix in the matter.
OK, first post updated with fixed cabs (or at least I hope so ). The nasty login bug should be history now. Please read carefully the install instructions, they're updated accordingly to this latest release.
Great job man.
How about the option to install on hard drive or memory card . And option to set as default browser. Great app , you did a great job on this.
Thanks for sharing. Great work.
