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.

OIC, so, you're using the Sunnyosft Language Extender?

My Opera has gone QVGA? Help please!

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?

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.

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.

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!

using opera as default

hello
does anyone know of how to set titanium to use opera from the today screen rather than internet explorer?
i'm presuming i have to use a registry editor, but i'm never played with one before so has anyone tried this, or recommend a good editor?
thanks for any help

[Q] Flash problem in HC 3.2

Hi guys,
I bought Transformer for my wife and one of the website she regularly access is mivo.tv. It's a live TV stream site and there several channels you can watch.
Unfortunately, using default browser I could not switch to other channel. When I click to the channel I would like to watch, it just doing nothing.
If I use Opera, I could select the other channel. But still there is a problem if I watch it in landscape mode, there is an info bar running across the TV. In portrait mode, it works ok.
I tried other browsers and all are having problem as the default browser.
I've tried it with the other Transformer in the store (3.2 as well) and it has the same problem. I think it was fine when I tried a few weeks ago in the store (I can't remember the HC version but I believe it's before 3.2).
Do you guys have any idea what is the problem?
Thanks in advance.

Do you try with Dolphin HD, it support FLASH also.
Regards,
Pat.

I've tried almost all browsers but the one which works only Opera so far.
Can anybody please go to the that website (mivo.tv) and try to click other channel (RCTI for example) and see if it works ?
Thanks in advance.

I tried the stock browser and Dolphin HD browser and get the same results as you. I tried in on my Xoom and the same results. Both are running HC 3.2. I then tried it on my PC and the channel selection does work but could never clear a Jack in the Box ad so I am not to sure the website is not the problem. Good luck.

Thanks for your feedback. I think I'll try to downgrade to 3.1 as I've seen it worked with standard browser before in the store.

Finally I have a time to downgrade to 3.1 and it works! Stock browser, Dolphin HD & Opera are working properly, I can select to the other channel without problem now.
So it's HC 3.2 which causing the problem.
Now I need to find out how to disable the upgrade offer

If you have root, use titanium backup and freeze DMClient app.
