Somehow my internet browser switched to a different one for default.
Opera to IE
I want Opera to be the default browser, how can I fix this?

I have the same problem but vice versa. I like IE and NOT Opera.
I had this same issue after installing Skyfire. I found the solution for restoring Opera to default here :

[TIP] Restore Opera Mobile as default browser
If you have tried Skyfire and are wishing you could restore Opera Mobile as the default browser, there is an easy way to do this.
1) Open Opera Mobile
2) Type opera:config into the address, this gives you access to tons of preferences
3) Expand the install bullet
4) Check Browser First Time Launch and press Save
5) Exit Opera
6) Restart Opera
The first time you restart it will take a while, and may even close without showing you the browser, but now open a link from e-mail or other source and it should use Opera to open.

Thank you very much. It works!
Thank you much -- it worked for me as well. Don't know why, but Skyfire was awful on my Fuze -- slow, jerky, and wouldn't even render some pages?!?

after i install this hayruko's version it seems that i'm having a problem with my browser. even when i change the uia string via about:debug to change it to desktop version after a while the browser goes back to mobile version are you guys having the same problem? i hate mobile browser version is there anyway to permanently change the uia string instead of keep changing it everytime i go to my browser?
Actually, if you configure it on googles site (search preferences) to use full html you will be fine. It is not an issue with the browser, but with google automatically dumming down the pages it lists in search results.
1) Go directly to google.com and select the settings link.
2) Truen off "Format web pages for your phone"
3) Save.
Hope this helps. If you clear cookies you will have to do this again.
did not help. there's gotta be some option to change user agent permanently...
I know Opera mini reroutes through a server to decrease the data actually downloaded to the phone. Does the pre-installed Opera 9.5 work along the same lines, or does it download the full page as per a regular browser?
If you activate Turbo in Opera Mobile it will function like Opera Mini and route the data through a server, but in 'out the box' configuration it is like any other browser, direct from the server of the page you are accessing (simplistically speaking anyway)
Thanks!
Does anyone know whether Skyfire reroutes or loads directly?

I don't see any option to turn it on and off. Did I miss it somewhere?
nevermind, I guess I had to use the command opera:config and change it in there. I though tit would be some kind of quick toggle switch in setting.
I run opera mobile 9.5 (16643) on a TMobile TP2. It used to be that startup was almost instantaneous, but then a few days ago, Opera would hang for a good minute or so at startup. I did everything: cleared the cache, cookies, passwords, history, etc. I searched extensively for the past few days on the xda site and found nothing that fixed the problem.
Here's the fix:
1. In the address bar of Opera delete the "http://www." and type: opera:config
2. Find the section called "Proxy" and click the box next to "No Proxy Servers Check" and then save. (It will show a Javascript message. Click OK)
3. Exit Opera via exit on the menu (not the "x").
4. Restart Opera. The slow start problem should be fixed.
Good job, thanks for sharing!
Is there an app that will change user agent in the browser
other then about:debug don't work for some sites it still gives the mobile website
even skyfire & dolphin still show mobile sites sometimes even if it has desktop view is selected they must be using about:debug option since all they are GUI on top of the stock android browser.
only browser i seen work Xscope browser with ( UA string set to computer ) but it can't use flash 4.1 that ships in the with evo I will have to wait for froyo to get flash 10.1 and hope that xscope can use it?
it be cool if i could just use stock browser instead of having to use 3rd party browser but UA string options are very limited.
any ideas?
Is there any way to do Opera Mobile 11 the default browser?
Thanks,
It should just ask you what you want to use when you try opening a URL after installing an additional browser.
If not, go into Settings, Applications, Manage Applications, click All and scroll down to Browser and click on it. Then scroll to Launch by default and click Clear defaults. Now open the browser and click a link, it should ask what you want to open it with and let you set that as default.
