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.

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!

Hi - is it possieto erase OPERA in order to work only with IE ?
I takes always long `til opera is opened !
What do you think?
thanks
myrin
Not really sure if i'm understanding you correctly but you want to get rid of Opera? If that's the case and Opera and "stoned" into the ROM, you can't delete it. If you added it manually, you can remove it via start>settings>system>remove programs.
If Ican`t get rid of it can I mke IE my first choice ref. widows live searches ?
Yes you can, however it's a regedit and it's being discussed here. As soon as i find the right key, i'll report back here so that you can make PIE default
I'm using the stock ROM on T-Mobile UK. For some reason Opera has now started double-pixeling like PIE does with images when zoomed in on the page (ie when u double-tap the screen). It's making all my images look blocky and web pages all naff looking. Even the form items (radio buttons and checkboxes etc) are all QVGA-ed.
Please help!

OK, I've even just upgraded to the latest version using this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=401643
And it's still pixel doubling. any ideas?
LLOYDY
Screenshot?
What's the best (and lightest) screencap app to use do u think?

Thanks.
Here are some pics of what I mean:
1. Usual PIE double-pixelling (tho my old universal had a VGA compatible PIE so why doesn't the TP?!)
2. Google page all squarified
3. Zoomed in on a form element (radio button all pixelated)
4. BBC News after a zoomed in double-tap - images are all pixelated and not clear as they used to be!)
Hope this helps. This is drivin' me nutz. Is there a registry setting somewhere to tell Opera to display VGA images?
Thanks for all help in advance.
LLOYDY
Okay. Maybe it's something in it's settings. Do the following:
1. Find the Opera thread in the Dev & Hacking section and download latest cab.
2. Uninstall Opera. If that isn't possible, download the upgrade version from the thread.
Now do one of the following:
1)If you uninstalled, soft reset and install Opera
2)Soft reset and respond back with ss and results
OR
1)Upgrade if you can't uninstall
2)Soft reset and respond back with ss and results
Cheers for the ideas but I've already tried them. I just upgraded to build 2392 (from the link in my second post) which is running fine. However, it did not fix this issue.
Any other ideas?

Ah. I'm sorry for not reading. What apps do you have installed that could potentially affect the orientation or settings of any app installed on your phone?
Thee only setting I've really changed recently is the "GPRS auto attach" setting in Adv Config to enabled. Other than that I can't think of anything else. In the past I have installed the G-sensor app but uninstalled it as I had no use for it. But it's been working fine since then.
Perhaps Windows Live Search was the last app I installed whr I cannot be sure if it affected opera or not. U think maybe try uninstalling it?
LLOYDY
OK. Uninstalled it, reset, and nothing. Opera is still QVGA. WTF is going on?!
I could revert back to a backup but Id like to solve this problem incase it happens again. Anyone kno of any settings to tweak and where they are (there must be more than the useless standard ones)?
LLOYDY
OK - just hard reset and it seems Opera was like this from the very start. It just pixel doubles anyway when zoomed in. Bit rubbish really...
LLOYDY
I was actually thinking that lol. But you said you never had that problem before so I didn't think too much about it. I just think you zoomed in too much.
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 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
I have a really annoying problem. Whenever i try to write a text with my hardware keyboard of my Omnia Pro in Opera Mini, it deletes my last word after hitting space, if i set a . to end a sentence before.
Any idea what i can do about this? Doenst happen in Opera Mobile.
Try anothers browser and compare the issue. If not, then wait for update of opera mini nor change it for as you wish.
