Opera Mobile on N97

Can Opera Mobile be set as the default web application on the N97?
If so how?

I feel this inability to change the default browser, music player, video player, image viewer, has to be a bug. The option is there on the phone to do so, but in practise you can't, with no explanation as to why not.
For example, "Web" is the name of the built in browser . If you go to:-
Menu
Settings
Phone
Application Settings
Default Apps
You will see 4 App types listed, incl "Browsing Internet", with the current selection "Web" quoted underneath.
Click on "Web" - you are asked to "Select Application". Unfortunately the list from which to choose only offers "Web".
Logic dictates that this option is there to allow you to choose from a list of all installed browsers. It appears, therefore, that the installation process is not "tagging" apps, for selection in the listed categories.
In other words, e.g. Opera Mobile 10 (which I currently have installed), during installation, should identify itself to the operating system as "App Type" - Browser.
It would be nice to get a comment from Nokia about this.
Any takers?

  • N97 and Opera Mobile - virtual keyboard

    Is there any way to swtich the virtual keyboard off on Opera Mobile? I'd like to be able to type direct into the webpage, like you can on the built-in browser. Also, some symbols aren't available on the virtual keyboard (and the symbol key on the hard keyboard is deactivated).
    Solved!

    Hi, I've used Opera mini for about 18 months, find it great. To remove virtual keyboard go to settings (on Opera), Advanced, Inline-Editing,set to off.. You won't be able to edit on web page have to use notepad that appears then ok to enter on page, but both QWERTY and phone virtual pad will work. Also have tried Opera Mobile 10, but find it caused freezing/locking and didn't seem any better or faster than Opera mini 5 Beta, which for the last 4 months has performed faultlessly on my N97, and which I continue to use. Hope this helps. Also try Snaptu, very useful and time saving, but need to go into Application settings, Installed apps, options settings, turn off onscreen keypad.
    If I have helped at all, a click on the White Star is always appreciated :

  • Opera mobile

    HELLO. DOES ANNYONE KNOW WHERE I CAN DOWNLOAD OPERA MOBILE FOR NOKIA N97?

    No need to shout! (CAPS)
    Here you go:
    Opera Mini
    Have fun! I use it on my 5800XM which is basicly the same OS as the N97 and it works just fine!
    By clicking the "Kudos!" or the "Solution?" button on the right you can say "Thank You" and you´ll show the author and others that the post is useful.
    The day we stop improving is the day we stop being good.

  • Opera Mobile 10 beta on 5800

    I saw that Opera Mobile 10 beta was available to try.  I went to Opera and downloaded the browser using the phone and installed it.  I started it and everything was good but then I started getting the out of memory error.  I have around 27 MB of phone memory, 3.2 GB of card memory and around 25-35 MB of RAM free.  I do have both Mini 5 and Mobile 10 installed.  Has anyone else tried the browser and has anyone else had the same issue?

    You need to change the "disk cache" settings within opera to get it working properly on S60v5 devices.
    See the link below for help (it's for the N97 but works on the 5800):

  • Web does not work after downloading Opera Mobile

    For two months now, my phone has been working perfectly, but three days ago, after I'd downloaded Opera Mobile, I'm not able to use the Web app on my phone. In fact, I can't open the Nokia Store or the Ovi Music Store using my home Wi-Fi connection. As a result, I can't even check for updates on my phone by going to Settings>Applications>Manage Applications. Opera Mobile works perfectly using the same connection though. Can anybody help?

    have you tried to delete Opera Mobile to see if it reverses everything?

  • Adding an ad block filter for Opera Mobile 10 with...

    I just got my new N8!
    i installed the opera mobile 10 browser. now i want to ad an ad block filter. from blogs, i read that this is possible by just copying a filter file into the installation folder of opera.
    my problem is just that i do not find the installation order for opera!!!
    where does the N8 install programs?
    any help?
    or does someone know another method of using an ad block? is there maybe an app for the nokia browser to block ads?

    Yes, I do have the songs with the m3u file.
    I tried your solution and it worked. It's not as simple as using an m3u file, but I'll take what I can get. Hurrah, my road trip and other playlists can be updated without gnashing of teeth!
    Thank you so much!

    eastercat, Do I understand correctly that you have the song files in a folder along with the M3U file? 
    If so, do as follows:  In iTunes, File > New Playlist.  Rename the new playlist to correspond to your compilation, and open it.  Now go into the folder, delete the M3U, and drag all the songs into the open iTunes playlist window.

    Moderator's Note: The title has been changed as it was moved to a more appropriate board.

    Open Opera Mobile and in Options-->Settings-->Privacy... Clear the Cache.. Do that on a regular basis (say before exiting every session of using the Browser) and see if the problem persists..

  • Opera Mobile for nokia 500

    Does Opera Mobile is available for Nokia 500 (Belle Updated).
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi Akash_satpathi,
    I would assume that yes, Opera Mobile is available for Nokia Belle devices. I have both Opera Mini and Opera Mobile installed on my N8 (running Belle).
    Just search for Opera Mobile in Nokia Store in your device, or if you are having trouble, point your default web browser on the Nokia 500 to:   http://m.opera.com   and download from the relevant link.

  • Opera Mini or Opera Mobile --- Help?

    Hi all,
    I love surfing on my N series (N82) nokia, but the native browser is horrible. i am not a fan of apple products at all but I must admit the safari browser is very cool. I have heard Opera ia a better choice for a browser on my N series. Great. I'm just not sure to download Opera Mini or Opera Mobile for the N82. Or what is the difference? should I buy the mobile version or use free mini version.
    anyone got any quick advice or suggestions...
    Thanks alot

    Mini is a simpler version of Mobile.
    You have to pay for Opera Mobile, so it comes with more features.
    I'm not sure if it offers a huge increase in performance or experience over Mini.
    I have an N82 and use Mini. It's fantastic!
    I had a friend recently comment "wow, your's is the first mobile that actually made me feel like i was online, and not using a phone."

  • E6 - Opera Mobile crashed and took numerous applic...

    At a certain point of time 3 days or so back, Opera Mobile showed one of the many "General .. Memory full" errors. After a few minutes it just froze along with the OS. I had to long press the power key for >5 seconds to shutdown the phone and restart it.
    Now I have seen that more than 10 various applications have simply disappeared from the phone. Eg:
    1. Opera Mini
    2. Opera Mobile - Its icon is there but it is not launching
    3. Facinate
    4. Nokia Drop
    5. NSR Reader - Free version
    I am sure some more are lost because the number of icons in my applications folder is less than what it used to be.
    I also have 2 more unknown "?" mark shortcuts on one of my homescreen shortcut bars. (Right now I do not remember which applications they connected to)
    I have reinstalled some of the missing applications resulting in a few shortcuts coming back to life.
    But I had to manually download from Nokia Store and install them direct as .sisx files because whenever I tried to do the same using Nokia Store application, it failed leaving behind the Smart Installer icon active in the Applications folder. If I tried to continue the installation as advised, it would just dump me back to the same Smart Installer.
    Any help, suggestions, similar experiences?

    Thanks for the suggestions. I really regret not doing bi-weekly backups.
    I have a few concerns though:
    1. I had failed to mention in my post above that I am still running Anna. I do not plan to go Belle until most of my concerns are addressed by a future update or I change my mind
    If I use Nokia Suite to reinstall the firmware, will it push me into Belle?
    2. I have many applications installed from outside the Nokia Store such as mIRRGI. I may not have the installers for all of them now.
    3. I may have more than 50 applications installed from the Nokia Store itself. It will take a longtime to cull them from my tried applications list of more than 200 and install.
    4. I had organised my applications into folders such as Games, Office, Internet, Media, System etc. Moving all the reinstalled ones to that structure is another hour at least.
    5. I had saved text messages into organised folders. Nokia Suite does not respect that and it will restore them where ever it feels like, not always completely.
    With my tinker and learn mindset, I find this wipe and reinstall kind of solutions less palatable.
    I suppose we will all be more wiser if a specific diagnosis be made and a solution found.
    Until then I will either keep exploring or failing which --- Wipe and Reinstall ha ha.

    alternatively there is an app in the ovi store, called youtube.
    other than that, i dont think it has more flash support.
