Opera start page

Is it just me that can't get the opera start page to change? I can set it in the settings to google.com (or whatever) and when I hit the home button it goes there, but no matter what I do I can't get it to open to that page when opera starts up.
Additionally, after I updated my music library with windows media mobile, when I launch opera from the programs menu it loads windowsmedia.com.
When I launch from the "Search the Web" shortcut in landscape tf3d, it launches the stupid yahoo search page.
Someone please help me, I'm pulling my hair out here. I won't both of the above to open opera to about:blank.
(I have searched but I didn't find any mention)

After setting it in settings, you need to make sure that you hit the check mark at the bottom. Don't just hit OK.

(How To) Remove different address books and contacts all at once.

I've noticed recently, especially with the release of LTE and their SIM card that some people may have difficulty finding the option to delete their SIM card or groups of people.
So if you need to delete say, all of your phone contacts seperate from your sim contacts, or seperate from your google contacts, and visa versa do this:
Steps (this applies to HTC devices):
1. Open "People" application
2. Tap "Menu" button
3. Select "View"
4. Now check the contact list or lists you want to remove from, for example SIM card
5. Hit "Done" (now make sure those are the contacts you want to remove)
6. Tap "Menu" button
7. Select "delete" and then check the contacts you want to remove, or continue with steps to remove all...
8a. Close the keyboard
8b. Tap "Menu" button again
9. Now select, select all or deselect all
10. Now "Delete"
11. No more duplicates, hopefully!
Just remeber to go back to:
People app > Menu > View > and recheck your contact books that you wish to view in the People app.
Tweet if you like it! Enjoy.

Thanks, this really helped me... couldn't find it to save my life.

[Q] xoom default browser and bookmark folders.

Some how a folder has shown up in my bookmarks. No matter how long I hold the icon the options menu will not show up to delete it or rename it nothing. It has no bookmarks within it and I don't see any options to create a folder let alone delete one. Any ideas.

Bookmark foldering seems to be a new feature in Honeycomb, and the implementation is a bit inelegant, if not nearly undiscoverable, at this time. Still, it's nice to have the feature now, with hopes of further refinement down the line.
You can create folders from the Edit Bookmark dialog:
Long press a bookmark
Select "Edit bookmark"
In the "Add to" section of the dialog, touch "Bookmarks"
Select "Other folder..."
Although you can create new folders and subfolders here, delete functionality seems to be available only via a long press on the folder from the main Bookmark screen.
If the rogue folder can't be deleted this way, maybe check if you can create a new one and see if you can delete that. If that works, and if your other bookmarks are OK, then the rogue folder is probably corrupted; otherwise, there may be further corruption in your bookmarks, IMHO.

what about having bookmarks show up alphabetically?

I can add folders and delete folders just fine its this "other Bookmarks" folder can not be deleted. I cleared all my browser data in app management. Folder is gone now. It seems to show up only when I sync bookmarks with my desktop. On my Linux PC that folder can't be deleted or renamed anything. So that's where it came from just don't know how to kill the folder. I did a bookmark export and opened the XML file but it doesn't show in the coding. I'm left to think its a chrome on Linux error.

I just installed Chrome on a Windows box, and found the same thing: the "Other bookmarks" folder is installed by default and cannot be deleted or renamed, whereas user-created folders can. It looks like it's just a Chrome thing overall.

Thanks for that. Wonder why they forced a folder.

HELP!!!

Ok I have 128 contacts on SIM....46 on phone.....51 on gmail acct. All I want is the Gmail acct contacts how do I delete the others off the phone storage and sim????

goto Contacts, click 3 dot button in top right corner, select Delete Contacts, select contacts to be deleted, click Delete, lol.
if you just want your Gmail contacts to appear try this: goto Contacts, click Phonebook in top left corner and remove the checkmark from contact groups you do not want to appear in contacts, hit the back key and the list should only include your desired contacts.
hope this helps.

no worries.... Hope my reply didn't offend you... Your question reminded me of the times I asked for help in the past.

Share intent or Share Menu no longer pops up

The Share intent, or Share menu stopped working, oddly.
Tap or long-press does nothing.
For example, if I download a PDF, I cannot open it by tapping on the file. I have to download, go to one of my PDF apps, open, browse to the file to get it to open.
Any ideas please?
Thanks.
