Guest meinnit Posted March 11, 2010 Report Posted March 11, 2010 Just tried it and its SUPER fast! Seems a lot faster than previous versions. Highly recommend trying it out. http://www.opera.com/mini/next/
Guest discokrueger Posted March 11, 2010 Report Posted March 11, 2010 Yeah! It is really fast! especially when youre on GPRS or EDGE. but: -no Multitouch (pinch to zoom) -you have to reload the page, when rotating
Guest Bakes Posted March 11, 2010 Report Posted March 11, 2010 and sadly it's really slow on ajax-heavy sites such as touch.facebook.com
Guest psionandy Posted March 11, 2010 Report Posted March 11, 2010 -you have to reload the page, when rotating I DON'T have to reload when I rotate a page... it just rotates them for me.....
Guest discokrueger Posted March 11, 2010 Report Posted March 11, 2010 I DON'T have to reload when I rotate a page... it just rotates them for me..... It does, but on my Hero, it's not fullscreen after rotating it. After a reload it is fullscreen again. I think this is because opera renders the page for your device.
Guest meinnit Posted March 11, 2010 Report Posted March 11, 2010 Is there any way to make Opera Mini the default browser? I'd like links in emails and other apps to open in Opera Mini. I thought it would be possible with this version but I cant find a way to make it the default!
Guest robot1000 Posted March 11, 2010 Report Posted March 11, 2010 Opera Mobile should be released soon, which should be a better Internet Browser for those who use a 3g network
Guest Posted March 11, 2010 Report Posted March 11, 2010 Thanks for the heads up OP. This is exactly what I've been looking for. The browser is fast, clean and intuitive. I especially like the performance on GPRS <_<
Guest Basher52 Posted March 11, 2010 Report Posted March 11, 2010 Great working at all, think it will replace the dophlin browser at least on my pulse. Specialy the tabbed browser is a lot more comfortable... Opera ftw
Guest le_lutin Posted March 11, 2010 Report Posted March 11, 2010 My god, it's insanely fast! Can't believe it. Love how it caches the last few pages so that when you press the back button the page loads instantly. Only thing is that it won't let me log in to modaco.
Guest meinnit Posted March 11, 2010 Report Posted March 11, 2010 (edited) I have been using Opera Mini on my previous phone for many years and even I'm surprised at the speed over GPRS! There really is no need to high quality images when viewing over your phone, you simply want information FAST! I just wish I could make it my default browser!!! Seems it's not possible as someone called Nico has posted a comment suggesting the same here: http://my.opera.com/chooseopera/blog/2010/...eta-for-android Edited March 11, 2010 by meinnit
Guest martoto Posted March 12, 2010 Report Posted March 12, 2010 It seems there is not a way to make it default browser and this is a bug of Opera itself (otherwise it should ask you on the first link clicked). At least it is a beta version. <_< But anyway, I am really impressed with the performance, definitely worth a try!
Guest shovon Posted March 12, 2010 Report Posted March 12, 2010 (edited) Hi Can anyone tell me if there is a proper mobile optimised version of this forum in the pipeline? I have seen the rather plain simplified version before but its not much to my liking. It seems funny to have a forum aimed at android phone users that isn't optimised for their phones. unless i'm missing something? Better still, a 'tapatalk' enabled version of this forum would be useful too. Apparently, it only has to be enabled by the forum administrators to work. I use tapatalk to view a car forum I visit and its great, really fast and clear. Any chance we could have it enabled for this forum please? Thank you Edited March 12, 2010 by shovon
Guest masterpfa Posted March 12, 2010 Report Posted March 12, 2010 I think I'll wait for Opera Mobile, that version was designed specifically for Smartphones, Opera mini was designed for all other phones hence is not as feature rich a browser as I have come to expect for our phones. The strong points for this phone may be the performance on 2G networks. This is not for me, but may be for others. IMHO
Guest Ashbeard Posted March 12, 2010 Report Posted March 12, 2010 I switched to Opera Mini because of the speed and because scrolling up and down pages with lots of images seemed a lot smoother. The only issue I have is that if I switch to other tasks and Opera has to be closed it won't reopen with the last page I visited. This isn't too big a problem because the history feature is great.

Are you using the stock T-Mobile ROM? I found that there wasn't much memory free when I used the stock ROM so I could only open 1 or 2 programs. When I changed to MCR I could open a lot more, maybe 5 or 6 at once.

Yeah stock ROM because unfortunately all the custom ROMs here seem to reset for me =(
Guest meinnit Posted March 13, 2010 Report Posted March 13, 2010 Yeah stock ROM because unfortunately all the custom ROMs here seem to reset for me =( Maybe the built in Android app killer is set to an aggressive kill mode? If you know how to use ADB find out the settings of memory killer: cat /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/minfree Should give you something like this: 1536,2048,4096,5120,5632,6144 If these values are set are set higher then Android will kill applications more easily.

Guest thehitmen Posted March 18, 2010 Report Posted March 18, 2010 I love it, super fast, super easy, looks good... What android is about. Its now my main browser!
Guest Nerf Posted March 18, 2010 Report Posted March 18, 2010 Mine too Seems like Opera have been impressing everybody in the past couple of weeks with there multiple platform releases and faster speed.
Guest meinnit Posted March 18, 2010 Report Posted March 18, 2010 Its now my main browser! I want to make it my default browser!
