Guest Syphon Filter Posted July 2, 2008 Report Posted July 2, 2008 Hey guys, Got a quickie for you. Why when using Opera does the download for Google Maps at www.google.com/gmm present itself as a Java midlet and when using PIE it directs you to a cab. It's highly annoying. I would want Opera to give me access to the cab as PIE does so that I can sve the file to my storage card and then run the install from there. Any suggestions/info would be much appreciated. TIA Syphon
Guest Confucious Posted July 2, 2008 Report Posted July 2, 2008 Do you have Opera set to identify it as a desktop device?
Guest Syphon Filter Posted July 2, 2008 Report Posted July 2, 2008 (edited) Do you have Opera set to identify it as a desktop device? Lemme check... I cant see any settings for that specifically. There's a "Mobile View" option but that is uncheck. Edited July 2, 2008 by Syphon Filter
Guest Confucious Posted July 2, 2008 Report Posted July 2, 2008 Google maps obviously doesn't recognise your device as a PPC so is giving the generic java version.

Indeed, that's what I was thinking. I'm guessing there's a reg hack that will allow you to change how Opera presents itself to the world. I'll have a dig (probably over at xda-dev). Cheers. Syphon PS. If I find a solution, I will be sure to post back here.
Guest Confucious Posted July 2, 2008 Report Posted July 2, 2008 It used to be a setting – but not in the latest version - I don't have my SIM in my WM device so can't check myself.
Guest JoelRae Posted July 3, 2008 Report Posted July 3, 2008 It used to be a setting – but not in the latest version - I don't have my SIM in my WM device so can't check myself. If you're using Opera Mobile 8.65, check Menu > Tools > Settings > "Identify as", should give options for handheld device or desktop computer....
Guest FlangeArtist Posted July 3, 2008 Report Posted July 3, 2008 Exactly - but it's not there in 9.5 When I try, Opera 9.5 on the HTC Diamond just closes and throws me out back to the TouchFlo screen! :-\
Guest Syphon Filter Posted July 3, 2008 Report Posted July 3, 2008 When I try, Opera 9.5 on the HTC Diamond just closes and throws me out back to the TouchFlo screen! :-\ Hrm, I get that a couple of times too. Mostly it works, but sometimes the loading splash/animation comes up and then it just dumps me back to the today screen. No idea why. Usually just hit the shortcut again and it loads up as it should
Guest Paul (MVP) Posted August 4, 2008 Report Posted August 4, 2008 It is probably held in Opera.ini... P
