Guest Paul (MVP) Posted March 29, 2007 Report Posted March 29, 2007 Downloaded, installed, won't launch ;) 'Not enough storage available to process this command' no matter what I try! P
Guest jimbouk Posted March 29, 2007 Report Posted March 29, 2007 A) Its a beta ;) Same problem for me
Guest tsutton Posted March 29, 2007 Report Posted March 29, 2007 Using MDA Vario, downloaded and installed wm5_ppc_865b.msi Launched it. Waited... And... it works fine for me! ;) Visted this website and it works OK.
Guest Gerald.D Posted March 29, 2007 Report Posted March 29, 2007 Vario II. Downloaded and ran cab. Installed to Micro-SD. Had to soft reset. All working fine here.
Guest Paul (MVP) Posted March 29, 2007 Report Posted March 29, 2007 Trinity (Dopod ROM) doesn't wanna play. Must just be me ;) P
Guest jimbouk Posted March 29, 2007 Report Posted March 29, 2007 YAY! Installed on Storage card, soft reset and its working!
Guest Paul (MVP) Posted March 29, 2007 Report Posted March 29, 2007 It runs if I run the EXE manually i've discovered. Note this is a BETA version peeps. P
Guest jimbouk Posted March 29, 2007 Report Posted March 29, 2007 It is very good though... I like being able to watch youtube video's on my phone...
Guest adamw Posted March 29, 2007 Report Posted March 29, 2007 Anyone had any luck with the 'Grab and Scroll' feature? Doesn't seem to work on mine, or have I missed a setting somewhere ;)

Guest mattyduk Posted March 29, 2007 Report Posted March 29, 2007 bit disappointed that there isn't a GUI way to setup button controls - e.g full screen, home page, hide address bar etc.
Guest thenext1 Posted March 29, 2007 Report Posted March 29, 2007 When I download a file, after a couple of seconds, it totally freezes my device (I-mate SP5m). I'm using it on a WPA-protected wifi network. But I think it's more of a ROM problem, than opera's.....
Guest quangdx Posted March 29, 2007 Report Posted March 29, 2007 It is very good though... I like being able to watch youtube video's on my phone... installed it to the storage card of my Vario II had to do a soft reset before it would run. youtube videos load, but playback is really bad, like at 1 frame per second. how is it on your phone jimbouk?
Guest Paul (MVP) Posted March 29, 2007 Report Posted March 29, 2007 Over what speed connection quangdx? P
Guest CongoJoe Posted March 29, 2007 Report Posted March 29, 2007 Installed and ran fine from my wm6 m3100... but youtube doesnt work. It just says the usual "you either have javascript turned off or and old version of flash" Am i just being stupid?
Guest jimbouk Posted March 29, 2007 Report Posted March 29, 2007 I loaded adobe flashplayer 7 for pocket pc... Was testing it on wifi and got youtube working at "acceptable" rate - not great but ok! Havent tried it on hsdpa yet...
Guest Monolithix (MVP) Posted March 29, 2007 Report Posted March 29, 2007 Youtube *struggles* on my Universal!
Guest chocula81 Posted March 30, 2007 Report Posted March 30, 2007 Works great in my qtek8310. I have been able to download without any problems. The only problem i´ve found is that it uses device memory as cache (i installed it on storage card)
Guest tasi Posted March 30, 2007 Report Posted March 30, 2007 Installed the CAB file on an i-mate JasJam (Tytn), started working after soft reset. T.

I installed it on my Ameo and it simply replaced the built in browser. It IS a newer build than the one on the Ameo (see http://Athena.MoDaCo.com!), but I don't know if it fixes that bug or not. Maybe try Netfront too? P
