Should I update Opera? - Touch Pro, Fuze General

My brother just got an HTC Fuze with Opera 9.5 Build 2392. The Beta 2 release that came out a few weeks ago is Opera 9.51 Beta Build 2723. Should I update? Will it break anything?

I just read this:
http://msmobiles.com/news.php/7848.html
I haven't tried it yet. With the separate Youtube app on my Fuze, I probably wouldn't use it that much anyway.

2808 is out.

TP keyboard madness with this latest release..... Glad for PIE and Skyfire to hold me over while Opera is still failboat.

GOD yes.... IE 6.0 sucks...
opera is a beautiful browser, Skyfire shows some serious promise but I like the fluidity of opera.. I use this for my main desktop browser. hands down, opera is sweet!

opera mobile
who is using this beta on a touch pro?? anyone, and what are the effects good and bad if any.
Windows Mobile 5/6 Pocket PC, version 9.51b2
I have 9.5 1938 on my phone now and havent upgraded until i see some of you all with some feedback on the beta

I am using 2745 Flash Lite 3.1. It seems fairly stable, but a bit slow. I'm not certain that I'm really getting much benefit from Flash and suspect that it may slow things down. Sometimes pages seem to pause while loading. Screen rotation and keyboard work fine. Just the usual difficulty pressing/selecting a button (link) on a page.

There's no reason to use Opera Beta on the Fuze/Touch Pro. There are two incredibly annoying bugs that don't affect the OEM version: first it doesn't flow text properly and bunches it up into small columns and second it resets your SIP to the small WM keyboard no matter what. The OEM versions have none of these problems.
I like build 2808 over 2745 because the scrollbars (and dropdown lists) are now actually usable. The secret to upgrading the OEM version on a device with Opera on it already is that you only have to upgrade 2 files: Opera9.exe and OperaL.exe. Use MSCEInf (google it) to export these two files from any 2808 cab on this forum and copy the two files to your \Windows folder.

No luck I turned that and everyother options off too just incase and it still just shows numbers. Can anyone chime in if they are using this version of opera with the standard Touch cruise keyboard?
Thanks!
touch keyboard does not work for me either!
It is really a big shame!
It's a known issue. And if you try to use pocketCM it will put a space between every character. Yes it's lame but it's still a beta. Hopefully these things will be fixed.
Does anybody know when the final edition will be released?
Coming form an iPhone baack to WM I can say that the final version of Opera 9 will be SWEET! Even with its bugs Opera 9 is quick and very fluid feeling. I can't wait for the final release!
in german ppc-welt forum an o2 rep said that the WM6.1 update for the Orbit 2 (=Touche Cruise from o2) will contain Opera Mobile 9.5
By the way I have to revise my statement about the known issue. So I had PocketCM 0.13 installed that gave me a space between each character in Opera. After installing 0.14 I do not have that issue anymore. It only happens with certain characters. For example a space will put 2 spaces sometimes. So while a slight problem still there, it's way better than what it was before with a space between each character.
Is ther a way to make the paragraphs "fit to screen", as in opera mini ? (sort of a compromise between full page and mobile view modes)
This opera mobile is perfect, but I hate horizontal scrolling !
Yeah there is. click and hold some where on the web page and a menu will pop up. Hit "Limit paragraph on". That will do it.
Is the Touch Pal keyboard working with Opera 9? I would try it, but I do not want to have to hard reset to restore Opera 8 that came on my TC.
Thanks to anyone who can toss ot n answer!
You can't restore opera 8 when you have installed opera 9.
The only way is the hard reset
I'm sorry
That's not true, I have both installed side by side. Opera 8 & 9.

Opera Mini 4.1 released!! You can save files & webpages among other things now!!

You just gotta give it a try! http://my.opera.com/community/forums/topic.dml?id=228137&t=1207135984&page=1#comment2503516
It works extremely good with latest Jbed on my HTC S710, make sure you install the version with all the certificates... You can now save webpages, download files directly within the browser (now Opera Mini doesn't have to launch a separate one for downloading!), you can also find text in pages among other improvements.
One of the best mobile browsers just got better, I'm completely amazed by it!
Link direct to beta...http://www.operamini.com/beta/
Is this better than the Opera 9.5 beta?
looks good, but still the same bug that if you entered text, the progress bar is hidden bhind the pocket pc footer bar

NetFront Browser v3.5 Concept Version

Hi Guys!
Has anyone of you already tested the new NetFront Browser v3.5?
I just downloaded and played around with it a little while and I must admit it's as good as Opera 9.5.
In fact I think it's a little bit better because it works cleaner. It doesn't fill the memory of the Universal in the way as Opera does.
So please try out and post your experiences.
Thanx
Yes, i've tried it too, in my opinion NetFront is much better then Opera, works very fast and with no lag. Other good think is, that it works also from SD card
Yes you're right man
After a long intensive use of Opera I mostly had to reboot my Uni.
And the NetFront is much better adjustable, I think.
i been using Netfront 3.5 form the week it come out and i love it, it's faster and better than Opera 9.5, PIE 6.1, Picsel 1.2 or any other browser i've used. Obviouly it's my default browser, and it's just awsome.
It takes longer than IE to load and uses more memory, but...
It renders *A LOT* better and is much faster and less processor hungry
I'd strongly recommend it if you are doing any web browsing
Can someone post a link?
I am willing to try it, but where?
Gracias

Hi orb3000,
Here's the link for the download:
http://www.access-company.com/products/mobile_solutions/netfrontmobile/browser/35_wm_tp.html
Cheers
Just been trying this one myself, having used earlier versions of NetFront pretty extensively in the past.
Certainly no where near as fast to load as Opera Mobile 9.5 Beta, but I do think it is faster than PIE (maybe about the same as Opera Mobile 8.65). The upside for me is that it seems to be far more stable than any of the leaked/hacked versions of the Opera Mobile currently around. The downside, and it is a pretty big one for my usage, is that it can only download one file at a time and while it is downloading you cannot even continue surfing. I use my browser quite a lot for downloading mp3s and music clips and this is a big handicap.

Thanks LifeIsAnUpgrade, but I donĀ“t know what is happening, when I click on download cab file, simply does not download nothing.
Do you have another link or mirror?
Gracias!
Well - I have the opposite experience.
I was using the 'older' NetFront 3.5 for *ages* before Opera 9.5 Betas started to arrive, and at first found Opera 9.5 unusable.
But - the latter builds - 1006 & 1123 - have both been great.
I tried switching back to NetFront when the new version came out (and posted in General ), but was continually having "not enough memory" errors from NetFront. I just don't get that from Opera.
So - for me at least, Opera 9.5 1123 is the one for the moment.

Actually, that's the old version, which expires at the end of this month.
Here's the new version, even though I prefer Opera

This one expires at the end of August.

Thanks for the correction man, btw there is no smartphone version right?
I got that from their website, and as far as I know it's the only available version.
Who knows what they're going to do once they actually release the damn thing!

I tried to install the latest version to the smartphone emulator and it starts and look corrupt. Does look OK when placed in fullscreen mode, though (softkeys and menus are usable).
Didn't seem to be able to browse the internet, though it may well be an emulator issue with my local network config.
I like this but I get too many certificate and DNS errors popping up, so much so that I have to use Opera Mobile 9 instead as - much as it is prone to being unstable - it does at least work properly.

Opera 9.5 issues: zoom and Links

Hello guys,
I have been away for some time now, but I would like to know if any of you found any solution for these 2 problems with opera 9.5 and our devices:
1st: the scroll wheel zoom feature: In my device spinning the wheel just makes me pan horizontally, doesn't matter what i do or configure. I made some searches but found nothing about it.
2nd: linking problem: with opera 8.X i could select the browser to act as "default". Therefore, whenever I opened a link from my mail application (for example), opera handled it. Now, with 9.5, only Internet explorer handles my links.
Can anyone give me a clue?
Thanks!
I don't thjnk there is currently a fix for the zoom issue.
To set up Opera as the default, go to:
HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Shell/Rai/:MSPIE
Change value 1 to OperaL.exe

Just Perfect bro!
Thanks a lot!
To bad we don't have and solution for zooming with the scrool. I have read somewhere here that one of udk's roms did that!
Cheers
I have just downloaded and installed opera mobile 9.5 build 1409.
It's all right but I realized that there are two problems not solved:
1. It is impossible to use a different type systems but the standard one (you have to use stylus).
2. opera mobile 9.5 is not syncronizable with Opera 9.51 for desktop.
Can anyone tell me something about?
Is it possible that the previous release run You Tube videos and this one doesn't?
Thanks & Bye.

FireFox for WM

Hi
I just installed Fennec (FireFox) and it's works okay, but still with some knowen issues. E.g. landscape and hardware zoom still dont work.
It's a Alpha 3, and you can download it her Fennec Alpha3
For me, Fennec browser is too buggy and jerky, i suggest you get opera 10 beta 2u for landscape support and greater stability and usability
I could not agree more. FF is just not very usable at the moment in its current state.
i tried it about a month ago. i think its ridiculous how much memory it uses up. ill use ff on the pc but on mobile i actually like the new ie in 6.5, its fast and light. if mozilla can make ff mobile lighter it might be good but right now its un usable.
Still a Beta
Well, remember it's still a Beta version, so of course there is a lots of things that needs to be fixed - that's why is's a Beta. But i think it's exiting to see what they are planing for the final version.
I still use Opera 9.7 for normal browsing.
I also think that Opera is still the best as for now. But I installed Skyfire (it supports flash) and I found it really luggy when it comes to flash... Just thought I'll share that with you
I've tested Fennec 1.1, 1.2 and 1.3 CAB file and al; three works but it works crap. It's to slow on my Topaz.
I use the stock Opera HTC (dutch) put on my device and IE. I've also had Opera 9.7 or 10 on my device but that doesn't work as proper as the stock Opera (guess it's Opera 5). I've allready downloaded Skyfire but I haven't be able to test it, old habbits keeps you using your old browsers.
