I'm posting this here as opposed to a general forum, because I've found that Opera performs differently on my Touch Pro as compared to my 6700 that was replaced.
On my 6700, when using Opera - I'd regularly get to the full websites I'd see on a desktop, and not mobile versions.
On my Sprint Touch Pro - I'm regularly being routed to mobile versions. For example, cbs sportsline, and ebay.
Is there a setting that I can change somewhere, perhaps in the registry - that would allow me to access full websites and not mobile versions?
I'm also having this problem. I've upgraded opera from what ever it was stock to 2392. I've also changed the custom user agent under user preferences on opera:config to Mozilla/4.0(compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 6.0; en).
This allowed me to view some pages in desktop mode but not all. The setting MOBILE VIEW in opera settings is unchecked, it doesn't matter if it is or not. I had the Touch before and i had opera mobile 9.5 beta 1 installed and it brought up desktop sites by default. Any help would greatly be appreciated.
Isn't there an option for this in Schap's Advanced Config? Try downloading that and using it. I had always installed that first before using the browser so that may be why I never noticed the same issue as you.
I'm pretty sure AC3 useragent option points to PIE, not Opera.
By default Opera should be configured to load the full desktop page. It's possible Sprint has some proxy work going on behind the scenes. Do you get the same mobile versions when you load pages over wifi?
sorry guys,
I forgot to check back in here. But I found the solution on another forum. Check posts 4 and 9 here:

Opera's now working just as I'd hoped.

Try BBC.com, 'cause for me it still redirects to their mobile site. I'm using build 2745 btw. Odd thing is that i briefly tried 9.51b2 and that goes to bbc.com fine (no mobile site).

I think I might have cracked it on Build 2745. As well as the settings in Opera:config mentioned in the links in the posts above, you need to edit the opera.ini file. You should find a couple of lines looking something like this:
UAProf URL=http://www.htcmms.com.tw/gen/diamond-1.0.xml
UAProf URL Enabled=1
Change the second line to:
UAProf URL Enabled=0
Works for me
Only Mobile Sites
I'm also getting only mobile, specifically 2 I am checking are www.yahoo.com and www.cbs.sportsline.com and they are both constantly forwarded to mobile sites.
I've made changes in about:config, I made sure to hit save and also got a pop up confirming it.
I went into opera.ini and I see first line mentioned, but I don't see the 2nd anywhere that says UAProf Enabled = 1 to change to 0, just not seeing it there on mine.
Looks like I'm stuck, but I'd much rather see all normal websites, PIE I can use to get wap sites just fine, I'd like Opera to render real sites.
Can't claim to be an expert I'm afraid, so there's not too much more info I can offer.
There are four key things you should check:
1. Do you have build 2745? I was present in the ini file that seemed to come along with this build after full install - all bets are off for other builds
2. In Opera:Config check that you have set User Agent-Spoof UserAgent ID to 3 - I suspect lots of others will work but 3 worked for me. It is only spoofing the user agent type and I'm not sure how key it is to success. Be sure to save the change though
3. Make sure you set something suitable under User Preferences-Custom User Agent
4. Check the ini file for the lines mentioned or something similar. If it isn't there and you have the same build as I did, that would be worrying! As another thought, you could try adding the line - backup first of course
It's a real pain so I hope you get this sorted out soon
On 2392
Build 2392 came native on the Fuze that I just got. I put 2745 on my 8525/Hermes last week and it worked pretty well except for some issues with the keyboard not recognizing at first.
I've hard reset 6 times now trying to get something else working, which is more than likely a problem with our 2003 exchange, so I'll put on 2745 and see if it works correctly. I've made all the changes, not sure why this build won't work, but I'm not overly excited about the performance anyway.
herg62123 Opera 2745 build upgraded on Fuze
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=442252&highlight=2745&page=12
Post 115 has the details for Opera upgrade to a current release, build 2745
herg62123 posted the 2745 build, and it's really awesome. I put it on my fuze with all the directions from post 115 that have it updated for VGA.
I can now go to the normal websites and not always get pushed to the mobile sites, which I did everything to fix, and none of the many great suggestions seemed to work. I think it was well worth doing, if I wanted to look at wap pages I'll use PIE.
I'm still looking for ways to change the link that the Globe opens on the Internet tab on TF3D on my Fuze. It goes to http://device.hom/ which is a dead link of some sorts. And no, changing the home page in settings and every other good suggestion doesn't change what that globe launches. The links under it are just favorites in Opera, all good. Not sure if others are annoyed by this.
I can't seem to find this opera.ini file. Which folder is it located at and how do I edit it? Do I need some other kind of software? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

This is the last step that I needed to get Opera to work like i wanted it too. Thank you very much. I did everything else, Custom user agent, upgrading opera to 2745, changing spoofing agent, this was the final piece to the puzzle. Now I just need to get flash to work and Opera will be wonderous!!
HAH! Flash working with Opera? Good luck with that one!
Glad it worked for you - it was driving me crazy until I found the solution. I've had the same issue with various different builds and each time the solution has been different!

I've been trying to create themes for the Market Home Alternatives (such as Panda Home, Open Home, aHome, etc) however, I'm a Graphic Artist, not a programmer. I know very little about Java and even less as to how its applied to Android and I need some help here.
I managed to figure out how to create an .apk in Eclipse (after many failures and problems) and even figured out how to sign it in Eclipse. The app installs fine on my device but it doesn't do anything. It will not apply to any Home Alts.
What I need to know is, what do I need to include to allow it to access these home alternatives. Is there something I must include in the Android Manifest? I noticed a some XML files when I looked into other peoples theme.apk's that aren't in mine.
Could someone explain this to me please? I would appreciate it greatly. Thanks in advance to anyone who drops a line.

On another note, does anyone know why Jarsigner in the Java SDK wont open? When I try to open it, a command-like window opens and then immediately closes. Any ideas there?
Hey All -- maybe this is more of a general Android question, but: Is there a universal way to "undo" an action, like deleting a bunch of text? Any way to do this with any of the keyboards that I missed? I know in windows mobile, if you could type "CTRL+Z" you'd undo things, but I have not seen a way to do this in Android, unless a specific app provides that option in the menus. For example, while in a random text editor I downloaded from the Market (I forget which one) I accidentally deleted a line I had selected, and it seems that was that -- there was no way to get it back since the app didn't provide an Undo option! It seems that perhaps the OS might allow this, since most do, but I really couldn't figure anything out.
Anyway, just wondering if there's a trick anyone knows, either specific to the Captivate or one of the keyboards out there, or for Android in general.
Thanks!
I've been noticing some weird behavior in the stock browser on my Nexus S. I'll be browsing a site, and when I click a link on the current page I'm on, I see the progress bar at the top load and then finish. However, the browser stays at the current page and doesn't go to the link I click. I've noticed that by scrolling all the way to the top of the current page, I can get it to advance and go the the page I clicked on. This doesn't happen all the time, but when it does it's pretty annoying. It seems to happen pretty frequently when browsing the forums here actually, and other text-heavy sites (usually forums).
Anyone else experiencing this issue or is it just me? Maybe there's some sort of setting I'm missing? Any insight would be greatly appreciated!
First off if you spend any time at all on xda on your phone you should download the free app. It makes forum browsing hundreds oftimes easier. Also what rom are you using?

Ya the xda app is probably a good idea. I'm just on the stock rom w/ root, stock kernel also.
Is it possible that the link you've clicked has opened in another browser window in the background?
Hit menu and windows and see what's opened.

to avoid this you should FC the browser, and start it again
I've been running the Team EOS Nightlies on a 4G Xoom since they started pushing them out and the only thing that really bugs me is that the browser bookmarks show up as a blank Icon until I visit the site.
Does anyone know if there is a program that will fetch the thumbnail and insert the text under the icon? It's a real PITA to guess what bookmark I'm clicking and then have to go through all of them until I find the one I'm looking for.
If it matters I use the Google backup as well as the chrome sync with the browser on the desktop computer.
Thanks for any help with this.

I've wondered the same thing but unfortunately haven't found a solution..
Sent from my SGH-I777 using XDA App
Glad I'm not the only one.
I thought maybe it was just me. I noticed a long press on them brings up the menu which states at the top the url it is pointing to. One of the biggest things I guess is my fault is that in chrome on the desktop I use the bookmarks bar and remove the names in that folder so I only have icons in the bar. That's my most used ones but in the android browser it doesn't refresh the image so it gets confusing.
Another thought I just had is it would be nice to opt to use the favicon method in the Android bookmarks instead of the page thumbnail.
I'm interested in finding a solution to this too.
