Does anyone know where the registry keys are for the default browser home page and the web search link while in landscape mode? I changed the Opera home page but when in portrait and clicking the browser globe, it starts to go to google and then defaults to device.home for medianet. When I chose the web search it goes to some yahoo search. Thanks
Looking for the same thing. It has to be in the registry. I can only assume TP does not point to http://device.home

Not sure about the landscape search but you can change the site that the globe opens by following the directions in post #10 of this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=444310
I search through out the forum without finding an answer to my problem.
Here it is, I have a HTC Touch Diamond 2 (Topaz).
Can somebody explain to me why on some web pages I am unable to have the overview zoom nor to zoom out beyond a certain point.
For instance, on iphone dedicated websites (you can try for instance mobile.pcinpact.com), most of the time the display is quiet correct BUT the page is larger than the width of the screen (having to scroll left or right) and it is impossible to zoom out the page so that it fits the screen.
I tried to play with adaptative zoom settings and CSS settings to no avail.
Did somebody know how to solve this ?
Thanks
Thomas
have you tried opera:config ?
Have a look here:

Hope it helps,
Thanks for your answer.
I already tried to play with adaptive zoom and CSS from opera:config but no change.
Also I already tried to search the thread you gave but couldn't find anything relevant regarding this problem.

Hi,
Is it possible to deactivate the Opera Auto Adjustment when zooming in or out so you dont jump to de left border of the current content and that it doesnt change text position?
Hope you can help me
Interesting question, would like to know that too. Its sometimes hard to look at opera while zooming, cause it just jumps around while adjusting to that column you zoomed in.
++++1
That's the only thing I dislike with Opera 9.7. Using registry tweaks listed here at XDA elsewhere makes Opera smooth and fast. If it just stops self-adjusting after zoom it will be at least as good as Safari on iPhone.
+1 for me, it's very boring with some sites

yes, it is possible, but it has some issues also.
With regedit, go to the key HKLM/Software/Opera/Prefs/Adaptive Zoom/Default Zoom and put 0 instead 175. You dont need to softreset.
Hope it works for you
works for me, but no tap to zoom now...
thanks!
that was nearly exactly what i was looking for.... ^^

same for me
this "auto adjustment" is text reflow. It means that you don't have to scroll left and right to read text, after zooming in. You can't change this behaviour.

as I said before: it has some issues. But i think with this, you won't need to double tap to zoom
If you type in (opera:config) without the http and then scroll down to user profs. Then scroll down to Limit Paragraph Width and deselect the check box after that scroll down to bottom of the page and select save. A pop up box will pop up. select OK. Then soft reset. I think that should do it for you.

This is just what I needed! No more jumping around when I zoom! There are some issues, like no more double-tap to zoom, and some pages get zoomed out to full screen and become very small (like touch.facebook.com and the search homepage itself, for example), but it's a small price to pay for me

This didn't do anything for me. Can't see any difference with this tick on or off....
I love my TF. I hate browsing the web on it. Such a shame that the job it is meant to do, is the job it seems to do most poorly. Perhaps its down to the browsers, since I have yet to find one that doesnt get in the way of my surfing. I would be happy if I could find one with a navigation bar that doesnt disappear every time I scroll down the page. I have plenty screen for it, why can't I at least have the option? Is there any browser with a static navigation bar? I'm not using a phone, so I'd like my navigation buttons to be accessable regardless of where on the page I'm at. I'd love to have my tabs static too! Why is this such a hard request? If firefox would just port it's pc interface over it's android browser(which i find stable but a crappy interface), I would be in love.
Oh, and I hate gestures. I like actual buttons with real text labels.
Please call me a noob and tell me what I'm looking for already exists. I will praise you for it.
Anyone else driven mad by the web browsing experience on honeycomb?

Just go to browser settings and go to the labs tab and then unchecked the quick controls box
I already have that unchecked. The problem is that when i scroll down, the back,forward,refresh,and home buttons disappear, along with the address bar. I want it to always be visible. from what i've seen, every browser for android does this, and it makes me batty.
just tap the screen and it comes back/ reappears.
I get that, but it's one tap and wait longer than I want to deal with. 5 browsers on my TF, and they all have this problem. I wonder if the ipad browser is any better...
have you tried dolphin mini? The addess bar stays on the top

did you try the new little radial menu that comes when you swipe on the side? i prefer browsing with everything hidden, and just using that radial... it has bookmarks, tabs, close window, etc etc.

hey
opera mobile doesn't do that.
address bar along with 5 diff. buttons always stay on top.
try it out, I use it more than stock browser, only downside getting flash to work on it is a
hit or miss affair.

Hi there, just wondering do you have problem with opera mobile displaying everything website smaller when compared to other browsers example stock browser. Every time opera will load the page with such small fonts it hurts to read. I tried to set the default zoom to 125% it looks better but problem is as soon as I click a link or open a new page, it will zoom out and gimme the small fonts again. Anyway to fix the zoom level?

hey
type in the address bar:
opera:config
hit enter, you'll see a page with diff. settings open up.
scroll down to:
"user prefs"
tap it and it'll expand then again scroll down to:
minimum font size
change the value from default 9 to whatever you like then scroll down to the bottom
and hit "save" button then hit 'ok' in the pop up.
also to speed up opera even more try this:
find "performance" section
tap to open
then scroll down and change the following values:
Max Connections Server 6
Max Connections Total 6
Max Persistent Connections 6
after, scroll down and hit save button then hit 'OK' in the pop up.
you can experiment with diff. values for "connections" settings, however I wouldn't go over 8,8,8 or 10,10,10 as some websites might load slower than with default values (4,6,4)
my browser doesn't always keep the saved settings, sometimes it'll revert to default values...
so it's really a hit or miss, at least for me...
also, the 'default zoom', 125% or whatever % you specify, happens when you double tap the text on screen, it'll zoom that amount
and also reflow the text to fit screen.

The problem with increasing the Minimu font size from 9 to just 12, is it will cut off the right side of somw sites. Like on xda the search button on the top right get cut off if u increase the size. I don't think opera mobile is made for table.

you're right.
I find 12 to be maximum size in order to avoid what you described above.
also I have to kill opera using 'task killer' for saved font setting to take effect.

Is there any way to make the text *always* automatically reflow/resize when using pinch zoom-in like Dolphin Browser does? Zooming in and having the text reflow automatically I suppose I took for granted!

So I guess that means no then? (Automatically reflow, ie without the double tap, as Dolphin does)
@Paul22000,
I tried both Boat(v2.3), Miren and Dolphin (v7.0). They all behave as the same. When zoom-in the page with fingers, the text will not auto-reflow. My cell phone is Android 2.3.5. It's the default design of Android.
The text will reflow when you use these browsers on Android 2.2/2.1.
Another choice, for example in Boat Browser, you can enable "Show pinch-zoom button" in preference. When zooming with the buttons, the text will reflow according to the web page scale.
Hope this could help you.
Opera Mobile automatically reflows text.

Weird, the text automatically reflows in Dolphin on my phone. It's instantaneous too, no double tap required.
