Opera password wand

Hello all,
I tried to search for this question here and on Google, but with no success. I have a possibly dumb question about using the built-in Opera browser. It stores user names and passwords to be able to log on to your favorite sites more easy. So far, so good ...
But, how do I recall these passwords with the finger keyboard on HD2? When I go to a page with a stored user name / password pair, I can see the respective input fields surrounded by a yellow box. So, the detection of these fields seems to be working ok. What do I have to do now on the screen to get the values filled in? I tried double-tap, tap and hold and all kinds of sliding movements ... nothing works for me. Neither the HD2 manual, nor the Opera Mobile website says anything to this.
Is there someone who knows how this is supposed to work? Any hint is appreciated ...

Whenever I let Opera remember a username/password combination for me, it automatically fills them in for me whenever I visit the site. The page needs to be completely loaded before it does it, but other than that it just works for me.

You are right, I checked with some other sites. Unfortunately it doesn't work with the site I wanted to use it preferably. Which by the way is my web mail provider, GMX (www.gmx.de). So, it must have to do with the structure of their page. Still don't know why that happens, but thanks for your hint!

Aldiko Problem on X10 Mini

Aldiko book reader renders the pages a little bigger than the screen, so after a few pages the text starts to move to the right, and on the left of the page appears text from the previous page. After a few pages, depending on the book, this becomes unreadable.
Any solution or settings for Calibre (or other convert program)
THX

Hi there mate, sorry to hear about that, the driving force for my X10 was that the screen made an amazing ebook reader. As of yet i have not hit your problem
I havnt used their internal store i imported my own and used this converter
(http://ebook.online-convert.com/convert-to-epub) so maybe try re-converting or re-downloading
may i suggest also turning off oreintations AND / OR animations i have them both OFF and they may be the reason.
Does your ebook have may picutres? or iregular formatting?? that might be the issue
reinstall the program, im using the premium version which as far as i know has nothing new its just to suppor the dev's but maybe try that??
let me know if it works or not
ALSO wat sub model im using the x10i from NZ wbu??

sorry just re-read your post and i didnt realise that you have an x10 mini, still try some of my suggestings, it may just be your tiny screen size

I think that is not problem screen size, with FBreader or WordPlayer have not problem with rendering,only with Aldiko.Will try some of Your suggestions
THX

well as far as im concerned aldiko is the un-disputed best ebook app on the market and if i were in your shoes i'd try my hardest to get it to work, but if it doesnt work for ya wat can you do?? SHORT OR REINSTALLING THE OS??? and u dont wana do that!!!

It definetely has to do with the small screen size, unfortunately.
Maybe in a future update of the Aldiko app, the low screen resolution will be better supported. But in general, such small screens are not intended for reading.

Maybe help Update.
Reading is OK,I step from K810i to X10 Mini and is perfect.

I have a similar problem, though the other way around. As each chapter starts in Sun Tsu "The Art of War", that comes with Aldiko, the page is correctly displayed, but for each new page within a chapter you see a little bit more of the next page on the right of the screen and a little bit more of the page you're on disappears on the left. I have found no layout settings to fix this. I assume you all can reproduce this and that it is due to a bug in Aldiko that will hopefully be corrected.

Problem solved after new Aldiko update.

[Q] Mail app not parsing links

Using the HTC email app, no links are ever parsed. They just appear as standard, un-clickable text. I even tried forward/replying messages to see if they would appear as links there but they don't.
Does anyone else have this issue and/or a suggested fix? Thanks!

I am not, though I would love to be! (I am reticent to root my device, however.) I am running Apex, however, and perhaps this is related to the issue?
Thanks for the reply. Any further thoughts would be very much appreciated.

Well, apparently, I am not the only one experiencing this. Had not yet found this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1639865
Does anyone have any idea why links would not be recognized as such?

i was having problems until i changed the maximum receive settings to max, and things started working much better. HTML emails that did not open correctly began opening and prompting for image downloads as expected.

Thanks! I tried the "max" setting and this didn't resolve the issue.
However, our problems are different as HTML email display has never been a problem (and I am always prompted to download images)--my issue is that links do not parse in plain-text emails.

links in email are not hyperlinked
I am having the same problem. Hyperlinked words (seem) to be clickable and work fine. However, some emails I get where the address is typed out like the following (for example):
h t t p s://w w w. dropbox.c0m/el/?r=/link/65.Zf7E33Qbpe...
They look like regular text and are not highlighted, much less clickable.
Other times, I get emails with only the following in the body of the email:
"Please view the HTML of this email to see the message".
I'm going nuts because there is no HTML or anything to click on, let alone any kind of message. I've checked settings and nothing there is absolutely nothing to clue me into what might be wrong or how the situation can be resolved.

[Q] XDA homepage is looking weird.

Hi, I have been getting this 'weird look' for the XDA-developer (dot) com homepage. I tried both (the latest stable) chrome and (latest stable) firefox. It has been like this for about a week now. All other pages (portal, forum, wiki, etc) look normal but just the homepage is seemingly broken.
The moment I signed up to answer the question, the homepage is back to normal now. It is now back to normal on firefox too.
What freakish sorcery is this? My intention with this query is more of curiosity. Why does this happen? It is also happening with the dell.com (worldwide) website. What is technically (possibly) going wrong behind the scenes here?
Thanks in advance. :good:

I have the same issue. I don't know about Firefox, but on chrome you just have to click the shield icon in the address bar and click on whatever option comes up there (I can't remember exactly what it says but it should be fairly obvious) and it should sort refresh the page in the correct layout. Annoyingly, AFAIK you're going to have to do this every time you visit the portal.
Sent from my NexusHD2 using xda app-developers app

I haven't been getting this issue, but I've seen it before.
I'm not a web developer, but maybe CSS style information not loading correctly ?
When I get this issue, refreshing the page usually works for me. I get it when our connection lags, too - and doesn't load everything (er, I think that's what's going on, anyway).

That fixed the error!

Thanks! That fixed the error. Wow! So its cause Chrome detects xda-dev homepage having 'insecure content'. I hope xda site admins do something about this soon cause its super annoying!

+1, I think it may be something to do with one of the plugins I have installed, since on another laptop on chrome there seems to be no issue.

Excellent Suggestion!

You were right. Its being caused by the 'HTTPS Everywhere' extension. When I disable, it, the page loads correctly. I had that installed on my firefox too. I hope XDA soon moves their complete website to HTTPS. The extension doesn't seem to have any settings where I can acknowledge an exception.

Of course, I have the same plugin installed I CBA to disable/uninstall it right now, but at least I know what's causing the issue.

[TOOL][2.3+] Share files over wifi

"Share files over wifi" (ShareBox) it's a new free tool app aimed to easily share files over wifi through web browser
When using ShareBox, you will not have anymore let friends and relatives take your device to show them your photos or videos. They will see them through their own device, be it android, iphone, windows, blackberry or linux, through their web browsers. And they will only see what you want to show in a quick, comfortable way and simultaneously!
As other devices begin to connect you will immediately know what they are watching through the informative Sharebox log list.
Get it at Google Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.b6dev.sharebox
Features that makes this app special:
Share the files through browser, so you can get them from any device that has a web browser be it android, iphone, ipad, windows, blackberry or linux.
Only shares and shows the files previously selected.
May be used with wifi networks, own wifi hotspot and also on phone 3g connections.
When ShareBox server is on, you are presented with a URL link to see what others are going to see.
As other devices begin to connect you will know what they are watching through the log list.
Very useful for photo shows as it presented by default as gallery, but also has a list mode that may be more suitable for other kind of files.
Go and try it!​

Anyone to provide feedback or suggestions for this application, please?

Came here cause I saw the app in the XDA portal, seems simple enough and ultra handy for the people who really struggle to send files. :good:

I also saw this on the XDA portal. Looks like a great idea; I have to try it out.
A few questions:
1) How do you connect over data (e.g. 3g)?
EDIT: I see the server status page has a WAN IP as well. Do we need to do any port forwarding or anything like that?
2) Can you download the files as well, or just view them?
3) Is there a way to add whole folders?

Hmm I like the concept !
(Not yet tried app - wishing you had a direct download link to fileshare service along with G-Store link)
Here's what I would like to be able to do and hoping your app can handle it.
Share a folder, then view / download those files through the browser.
Guessing http //device.ip/share

Portforwarding is common for any server, u might need to do it if connect to a router
I think u can start the server on mobile network directly
Sorry for my bad English...
Sent from my HTC Desire 200 using XDA Premium 4 Mobile app

Yeah I managed to download the app, with VPN & G'Play..
Nope, I cant add a whole folder.
Every-time I attempt to look at settings *CRASH*
I added a screenshot to share, it shows in PC browser as link, but wont download /open
Looking at path tells me why

'ictures' ? Really
I would rather use port 80 or 8080..
hence why I 'try' open settings, after tapping settings, about 6 seconds later. *CRASH*

The app works perfectly on my Oneplus One, it does exaclty what it says and it saved me from a lot of trouble.
Thanks!

Nice idea and works.
maybe add themes for the Web interface.
let me know if u need any help with that.

The connection is made through ip sockets, so you may connect not only through wifi but also through all ip addresses your mobile may has, at the time you turn on your ShareBox

Yes of course! If you do it from your mobile web browser keep your finger pressed over the target file till the contextual menu shows up. If done through computer browser use your secondary mouse button. Easy!

Adding whole folders may be done through workarounds (using third party file managers or file compression) but is not yet "officially" supported

Yes, you may change the port used through settings menu, but restriction to use ports below 1024 is keeped. As stated before, please report your crashes with as much information as possible.

Yes, I did via G android.
I will sit down later and give you more information
But, dinner comes first
Summary
Samsung Tab 3 10" - Tap Settings - a delay, screen stay same - then after 6 seconds, maybe bit longer, app closes with msg box (every time)

Would it be possible to enable nfc "sharing"?
For example, if I have sharebox opened and running on a certain ip and port, and I tap another nfc device, then the other device's default browser would open up, already displaying the sharebox url.
Kinda like I can share a web url or maps location via android beam, but this time the beam wouldnt be between two identical apps, but between sharebox and the default browser of the other device.
Cheers!

Ok, that was a good clue. It seems an error that happens on this kind of devices. Published new version that will hopefully ammend it.

Hey no problem, I'll just update again..
I dont mind reporting bugs..
What I really need though, would be an app which can share a folder.
(Not just an interface that lets me share all the files in the folder quickly)
Something which shares 'that folder' live..
So if folder contents update 'live', refreshing the page will reflect the changes, much like a web-server would

If I try to add a cloud pic (I click add file, select stock kitkat gallery, click on a picasa / g+ image) the app force closes.
Can cloud pics be added? I dont think that nowadays people keep more than a few recently took photos on their device, both for memory and sync / backup reasons...
