Opera Mobile 10b3 Can Support Flash!

Hello,
I downloaded Opera Mobile 10 b3 today, and was browsing through settings when I noticed a toggle button that said plugins in the advanced category. I am going to test fixoperaflash on it and post my results.
EDIT: I loaded a page with flash content, and plugins enabled and a big white play button appeared over the flash. The browser crashed because of low mem before I could get further. This was without fixoperaflash.
EDIT2: I clicked on a play button and the flash content started! It is less glitchy than older versions of opera. I still did not use fixopera flash!

it still sucks!
and they dont listen to users??
it really annoying MUST tap twice on screen when you go to sites with flash, Pocket IE is much better!
and i said it many times, why are they covering the CLOCK??
i surf internet on break or lunch break, i need to see the clock on top (or put it at bottom) so i wont go over my lunch break!

Yes, wish the clock showed.
But for those of us with low mem, having flash auto load will crash the pda. I love Operas new flash support, but have never used the new Pocket IE -_-

PIE IN WM 6.5.x is the best

Yeah... It probably is. Never tried it though. 'Nixeus', the member who made the 6.5 ROM for Mio p550 has given up

For me it is very good thing because I use flash content only from time to time so I don't want it to waste resources. So they shouldn't remove it, however they could add option to enable or disable this function so everyone would be happy

Well, you can disable flash and probably even the white play buttons if you go to 'about:config'.

Opera Mobile official thread
Thanks for the news
It´s already posted on Opera thread
And remember, this still beta!

I think the beta 3 has vast improvement...
very fast on loading..
plugin support...
and they have lifted the limit of keyboard....

I use Skyfire and i must say, it has all the features Opera promises, but don't . I can even play SuperPoke!Pets on my damn' lame LG KS20 and it is super lightweight (it uses a quarter of opera's size).

I tried opera mobile beta 1, 2 and 3 all are simply useless for low mem devices in beta 3 they have included flash but whats the use it makes extremely unpleasant to browse either the device crashes or just freeze and to just load one singal video i had to wait for 10 mins then after loading i clicked play button then buffering ouff!! its irritating.
Till now opera mobile 9.7 is the fastest and stable one for low mem devices.
And yes i agree with you all internet explorer in wm 6.5.x is much much better than any other browser with full flash support but in low mem devices there are two major problems:
1. Pages load really slow (as they load into device, no server side optimization)
2. Videos play but there quality is less than worst.... in low mem devices even youtube player cant play smooth video

I think it's a good idea to not play Flash automatically, since data traffic tends to be, you know, expensive. Also, it's an experimental feature.

What features does Skyfire have that Opera promises but don't?
Skyfire is small because it's a thin client. Everything you do goes through their servers. And they don't seem to have a business model beyond selling your personal data to advertisers...
Also, Flash is laggy in Skyfire. I can't get myself to like it.

Far superior support for Flash, Silverlight, etc.
Flash support for Opera 10 beta 3 seems very flaky. If you go to news.bbc.co.uk for example, you can't play any of the video clips there in Opera, even though they play happily in IE on my HD2 (with stock ROM).

When did Opera promise Silverlight support?
As for Flash support in Skyfire, are you kidding me? It's basically like a slow and laggy slideshow! I bought into the hype only to turn away disgusted when I realized that it was Skyfire which failed to deliver. I don't want slideshows, I want video!
Flash support for Opera 10 beta 3 seems very flaky.

No way! Flaky in a beta where it was labeled experimental? Amazing!

[Q] XDA website really slow?

Don't know if its just my transformer or something I have installed but trying to browse or login to this website is really really slow, especially if I have a few other tabs open?

Nope it's everyone, not just you. It's the same in any browser i've tried on the pad. No idea why.

Thanks for that glad its not just me. Also now getting problem when trying to log into the Nationwide site in that I can get any of the drop down boxes to work at all. They used to work. Just trying a reboot then going to try a different browser.

it's not just tegra 2 or honeycomb. gingerbread on my old nook color, froyo on my galaxy tab, and gb on my evo. seems to be an android problem. my guess has been that the antialiasing of the type is done by CPU instead of gpu and causes the dreadful performance. works fine on my iPad though.

Well just loaded Dolphin HD and so far its much better on here than the stock browser, will see how it goes.

Switch to XDA classic theme at the bottom left should fix the lag issues.

Also there is a problem to press search and when you want to type something it just closes, not the browser only the search part,
And loading a XDA Page on your pc is also laggy it always takes some time to load, i think
its because it needs to check all the thankyou's, time and new posts etc,
YF,
Mahaco

Installing AdAway from the Market to block ads helped speed up the page load times for me.

[Q] Transformer browsers force closing

I keep having my browsers stop, they wont finish loading and then when I touch on the address search bar or refresh button on the screen I get the force close message. I'm having problems with the stock browser and also the dolphin hd browser too. It happens after about 10 minutes and I can't find any correlation with certain sites, it's just after a little time no matter what I'm looking at. I did a search and only came across someone saying they were having a problem but it was a xoom and they were also rooted. My transformer is all stock and only about a week old. Does anyone have any suggestions or anything? Besides that I love this thing. Thanks for the help.

some sites are inaccessible without crashing to the desktop. Web browsing is one of the major use cases for the transformer. It will be nice if this geta fixed.

Are you serious? I researched tide tablet for weeks before i decided on it. I knew about the cameras and taking videos not being good, I knee there was a chance for light bleed, and also that there were some problems with hd video playback sometimes. I hadn't read anything however on browsing problems. I tried Firefox and opera along with dolphin and they all stop and crash. I don't understand why someone didn't mention this in their reviews with it being a problem. I've had no problems with light bleed, video playback and the camera is fine for me, but the browsing problem would have dissuaded me from purchasing if I would have known. Is there no fixes at all?

The problem is java script, try to disable java

On Monday I'll have my Transformer for 2 weeks. I just started having browser crashes yesterday only after a couple of minutes of browsing. This has happened on yahoo & xda. At the time I was trying to copy & paste. What I don't understand is I wasn't having problems before.
Also, I am unable to do a search on XDA. The search & keyboard come up monetarily then close.

Are you guys running stock 3.1 honeycomb?

Yes, stock & not rooted

I never get force closing pop ups but everynow and then the browser just closes... but then it depends on the website
I;m running overclocked prime

Mine is just stock, I haven't rooted mine either. I can usually browse for 10 minutes or so before mine stops then force closes. It seems strange that it just started after 2 weeks for the one person. If the problem is Java and I turn it off won't that limit some of the sites? I hate to be limited on browsing, otherwise you might as well get a dang ipad. I hope we find a fix for this it's driving me crazy.

Stock, 3.1 not rooted. The crashing is site specific. It happens with Dolphin as well. Xscope will handle the site, but it has other usability issues (like no zoom) . Do other tablets (zoom,tab 10.1,etc) have these issues? I love paying to be a beta tester.

Same problem here, browser crashes on certain webpages without a warning, switching java off solves the problem but this shouldn't be a solution

Turning off Java Script does indeed help a lot it seems - faster loading and far less crashes. As a web technology noob what do I lose w/o Java script? I browse mostly news/science/tech blogs and forums. Not to many interactive (save Facebook of course).
Any good tips on what losing JV scrips limits?
Thanks!

This has been discussed before Its a known issues (at least to us that have them) and its pretty annoying to say the least. Turning off javascript helps in two different ways (stops crashes and speeds up browsing), but some pages wont display correctly without it.

i resolved crashes with "adfree"

I've never seen my browser as prone to crash or sluggish on the transformer. The only thing I configured is to start plugins on click only (like poor man flashblock - but I prefer it this way on my desktop Chrome too). Running stock 3.1.

i wwill try the adfree and I will post my results.

I've had my Transformer for about three weeks and besides slowing down quite a bit the stock browser and Dolphin have been crashing regularly as of last week. I'm running stock 3.1 - not rooted or anything. It's gotten bad enough that I've basically stopped using it and am using my Acer W500 and iPad. I can put up with some problems in a new unit but if I had known that Honeycomb was as buggy as it seems to be so far I probably would not have purchased this.

i got mine last week, the default browser performance is unacceptable. It just crashes without any warning. Clicking comboboxes , checkboxes and even links in some cases is far too difficult to get right with one go, there are instances where you simply cant do it at all , even after zooming all the way in. Turning off JavaScript is not an option for me, there are simply too many sites using JavaScript for their manus n stuff. Now using dolphin browser, seemsmuch better, but still unreble.I am a huge android supporter, i have a galaxy s and i love it. But recently i compared this against an ipad 2, i hate to say this but with current firmware (3.1 stock, not rooted) this tablet is far inferior to the ipad when it comes to web browsing. I hate apple products,but at this point id rather have an ipad, over this

Try loading gmail web site and see how sluggish the performance is.

Browser Cache
I cleared my browser cache and this seemed to fix it. can someone test and post results?

Yet another browser issue

Am i the only one here suffer from checker box browsing issue? For those who don't know what it is. Is when you load a webpage they load box by box as you scroll down. Was there some setting i miss? I tried factory reset and it still doesn't solve anything. This really bug me because knowing that the TF is quite powerful in it's own way. But when using the stock browser it made it feel really cheap. Opera mobile on the other hand is way faster when rendering webpage. But since i have all my bookmark synced in the stock browser that made it my preferred browser. Just wondering if anyone else have this issue as well.

I have the same issue. I turned off opengl rendering and it fixed it, but scrolling is much less smooth.

I have the same issue, after receiving the Android 3.2 update. 3.1 was better for me. It has stated that 3.2 was suppose to fix this white box loading problem, but it caused me the problem instead. So I'm hoping the next update will fix it soon in the coming days for the U.S. on 8/23/11. 3.2 is such a buggy release.
As for how to disable OpenGL rendering? I don't think there is such option under any factory setting? Are you rooted legoman666?

to disable opengl you have to type about:config in the browser URL. Nothing will show up on the webpage. But just go back to your browser setting and the debug option is listed there. Yeah i really hope they fix this issue soon. I don't even feel like using the TF anymore because of this.

I believe I followed the instructions correctly. But I do not see the OpenGL option listed, nor a debug option within Settings on the stock browser.

lol my bad i mean type about:debug then go to setting. You should see the debug option. Sorry been using a couples other browser and got the command mixed up. Disabling openGL will cause some issue when loading webpage with flash.

this is such a huge annoyance I wonder why you don't see more complaints? Its buggingthe hell out of me!

I use Opera Browser and get nearly zero blockiness, however it is about time Asus got off their ass and fixed this issue once and for all!

Does opera work with flash?
And yes Asus needs to address this issue big time since most users are on the web 90% of the time!

Yes flash works fine on Opera.

yeah i'm no longer using the stock browser. Switched to opera and so much faster. Just wish mouse scrolling work with it hehe. I can't believe we need to rely on third party software to enjoy web surfing. I thought tablet are meant for web surfing. Surely this is not the case with the TF stock browser.

Lets just admit the TF is a pretty good device. Except for the stock browser. The longer I use it the more I hate it. I honestly don't know why I keep using it other than it's familiar. Maybe if someone just removed it from the rom I would be forced to use something else

I agree. The device itself is awsome. I love playing old school emulator games using my ps3 controller. But when i want to surf the web. I tend to move to my desktop for that job. Hell even my samsung galaxy s does a better job. That's how much the stock browser had turned me off and not to mention when i want to post here. The keyboard lag is ridiculous. Can't surf and can't type. Definitely a pretty damn let down for a dual core device.

i sent a complaint to Asus. Lets see if we get a responce!

Choppy browser
Ok so from what I read the checker box browsing, slow keyboard typing and all are not exclusive to my device. I got my TF a week back and I tried different browsers (Stock, Dolphin, Opera) and on different roms (Prime and Revolver) and all were choppy like hell.
it was worst in case of facebook and endgadget pages which are quite long pages and what I saw was plain dissapointing, slow, checker boxes and the fact that it keep loading the whole page if I scroll up and down or zoom in and out!
Edit: ok so idid the "open gl rendering" uncheck and now the stock browser doesnt do checker box and its quite ok,could be smoother but its wayyyy better than before!

Netflix mystery

First of all. Not trolling.
My netflix app was suffering from what it seems like most infinity users were suffering from- painfully slow scrolling. Not even setting force hardware gpu setting did not solve the problem. But today I fired up the netflix and the problem has gone away! Smooth scrolling with almost no lag. I know there is an netfix update, but I have not updated. The problem of lagging when typing to search still exists though. I am happy but quite puzzled over how it "just" fuxed itself. Anyone here with more brain power care to explain?
I am running stock 26 build.

As chief Dan George said "sometimes the magic works and sometimes it does not"

My experience, I followed the "force 2D GPU" on to solve my Netflix issue, but it didn't work (still the same, impossible to scroll etc..), then I did a reboot and still no luck. The next day it works beautifully. So the only thing I may think is something with force 2d hardware did not really kick in until later or a glitch issue with force 2d on. I then turn off the force 2d and Netflix back to non function again, then I re enable 2D and it stills not working, then did a reboot and this time it works right away. So my theory is enabling "force 2D" will resolved Netflix issue but it may not kick in right away.

Netfilx had a update on my device on the 6th. After the update it made the app. work much like it did for me when I used the Prime."Force 2D GPU" is the required on my device anymore. Once the page is fully loaded, it more around fine.

Thanks Seolyang for pointing this out. Netflix works great now. I went and turned off 'force 2d hw rendering' and it still performs the same. bout damn time!

Yes, my Netflix is working great now. Funny how people were returning their devices over a little software issue like that.

+1. I've turned off Force GPU and the newer version works basically like it did with force GPU. Not perfect, but infinitely more usable. I considered the UI non-functional without force GPU on the prior release. Really glad to see this fixed on the TF700. Netflix is an important app.

Mine is still super laggy even with the latest update

I think all of Netflix are running slow.
I tried to demonstrate the app to a colleague and the app totally undersold the Tranformer Infinity.
I don't know what to say about this.
I never experienced this problem with the Transformer Prime.

I tried searching for something on the app tonight and a bunch of search items showed up but it was impossible to select any of them. By touch or my trackpad. Most annoying bug ever.

Netflix issues of lag has already been fixed. By app update and latest .30 update. Its smooth and lag free now... at least on my end

Nice... Improved alot better but I notice a slight lag when you were browsing netflix a few times. Only thing I wished you should have added in the video was scrolling a tv show with seasons and episodes to see if it was smooth also in netflix.

Nice to see they fixed it without needing to use the 2D forced.
The TV shows series interface stinks. Just do a big list that scrolls. I'm luke warm on the choosing the season thing.

Here is another video of navigating TV SERIES. Initially there was a brief pause but after it loaded more it was smoother
Ok I completely forgot to do the tv show season/episodes scrolling. I'll do another take. I got nothing else to do atm.

To me, that still lags like crazy. Here is my experience with netflix. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lw6J_ZC3MD0 Impossible to search for a specific movie/show. Note, the reason the movie starts on the infinity is because I accidentally hit it on the main page outside of the search box. I would say that someone should do a side by side comparison with other tablets to show how bad it lags and doesn't work.
Sorry, I don't know how to insert the video like you have in your posts, lol.

Here is why it "all of a sudden was better" . They fixed things on their end without any update.

There must be something going on with your tablet? What are you running? Could be something modified or a 3rd party app that could be causeing this. Its running very smooth as you can see from my video. And Netflix has fixed the lag issues and unresponsiveness. Maybe clear data on Netflix, uninstall reinstall.

i have the search not working problems as well. i does not work on on my acer 500 either. I've read that because app uses html5 netflix can reprogram some things without an actual update from play store.
