For those who want to prevent the mobile versions of web pages:

Open Opera 11, enter opera:config in your URL-bar, hit enter. The second last point in the menu is USER PREFS, click on it.

Now you will be presented with a very long list of customization options. Go and find "User Agent Strings". This field is blank as default.

Now you can put one user agent of your choice into that list:

http://www.useragentstring.com/pages/Opera/

Mine is for example:

Opera/9.80 (Windows NT 6.0; U; de) Presto/2.2.15 Version/10.00

Now the browser opens every page in desktop mode, enjoy!

Added this to the OP, any other questions, feel free to ask!
[Android Apps and Games] ekerazha:
This is ineffective.

This is the way that I currently use

My UA:

But I have to delete/add the string every time in order to switch between mobile/desktop mode, really annoying.

​

Why doesn't this exist?

There is "User Agent" which has spoof user agent ID and then there is "User Prefs"

Inside User prefs at no point does it say "User Agent Strings" (feel free to post screenshot if I'm wrong). After looking through the menus several times I couldn't find that option so I used the search at the top and still nothing :(

There is a "Custom User-Agent", I entered "Opera/9.80 (Windows NT 6.1; U; en-US) Presto/2.7.62 Version/11.01" in this field and it made no difference, still facebook and google mobile after restarting and when I checked it again it was blank :(

Can anyone help?

[Android Apps and Games] ConstantineXVI:
An omnipresent tab bar adds too much bulk on a handheld, it's space that's better used to show the page. IMHO, HTC's implementation in Sensev2 (pinch out beyond page for tabflow) is the best at the moment but Opera's setup isn't bad either. Still better than AOSP's take (fullscreen list hidden in a menu).

Flash does not work for me in opera mobile 11 on my Gpad Gforce.

I have flash player 10.1 installed, but it seems to me that opera does not detect this plugin, e.g. youtube videos do not work due to missing flash plugin. :(

Is there anything I can do to sort this out?

Regards,

John
[Android Apps and Games] more2come:
If you're running Froyo and have the flash plugin installed, you should be able to activate it under "settings"->"advanced" (I guess it's advanced, I use the German version where it's called "weiteres")

@Mysticales

You are right, the stock browser already supports flash if you're running Froyo or later builds. But Opera 10.1 beta didn't support flash, that's why I mentioned it as a new feature.

I recommend you to try Opera 11 on your Streak for it is way, way faster and smoother than any other mobile browser available!
[Android Apps and Games] wjrandon:
Is there a way to store the cache on the SD card rather than internally? After a single day of use my device is reporting low internal storage and I believe it's from Opera storing content in internal memory? Unacceptable! 40mb GONE! Uninstall.
[Android Apps and Games] more2come:
Opera 11 supports App2SD (if you are running Froyo or later!), so you can simply move it all onto your SD-Card. If you want to modify it's caching behaviour, just type opera:config in the adress bar, hit enter.

There are alot of options listed, now you can chose "Cache" or "Disk Cache" to modify. Go to the parameter you want to modify and you're good to go!

I dont' really care for it. Flash sites play, but terribly choppy and out of sync with audio. Some flash content doesn't load at all like the ads at the top of the page. I uninstalled/reinstalled Flash 10.2 and made sure its set to "Enabled" in the advanced settings. Scrolls nicer thought but thats about it.

I didn't try Opera Mini 6. Opera Mini series seem to be more suitable for small, low power devices. Opera 5 didn't support pinch-to-zoom, don't know if it's implemented in version 6.

@JohnLaShot

Please post your current hardware and software config.
[Android Apps and Games] JohnLaShot:
Hi more2come,

my hardware is a tablet pc called Gpad Gforce (similar to Herotab M10) based on Freescale´s IMX 51 technology with Android 2.2 Froyo installed.

Flash works in Froyo standard browser due to a bulitin flash library from freescale. Flash does not work in opera mobile 11 and firefox. I tried flash 10.1 and 10.2 apk as file and directly from the market. Both without success.

Regrads,

John
[Android Apps and Games] trondis23:
I tried it yesterday. I just get a blank screen - nothing works. I have a HTC Desire HD.
[Android Apps and Games] more2come:
@JohnLaShot

I'm quite sure that this is the problem. I guess Opera needs to access the official Adobe flash app/libraries. It's hard to find any custom software for the gpad, you should ask the User Darkstar2000, he said that he was able to install the flash apk on his gpad.

@trondis

What ROM do you use? I'm running Opera on my Desire HD and it's a dream!

Haptic feedback

Again, does anyone know how to disable the haptic feedback when clicking a link? It's insanely annoying, really.

Also text selection is a joke. I'm on a dhd and I don't get why opera doesn't use the sense text selection scope. Is there maybe a workaround for it?

I like the browser in many ways, the tab organisation is great and it is lightning fast. But the two things mentioned above are reason enough for me to stick with the stock browser for now.

At least the last update fixed the font.
[Android Apps and Games] more2come:
I went through the configs, but can't find a parameter to change the haptic feedback, sorry...
[Android Apps and Games] DarkWader:
Wierd stuff going on on my SGT.

When I installed Opera11 I had Opera Mini allready installed.

And Opera11 looked just like mini, even after I uninstalled mini.

(Big navigation buttons on the bottom, and only address bar on top. Huge menu)

Today, I reinstalled my ROM, and restored all backups with TitaniumBackup.

Now my Opera11 show up like it should! I guess...

(No bottom bar, everything on top. Small menu in right upper corner)

Its either a happy bug, or that some files where currupting it before.

What does it look like on your SGT's ?
[Android Apps and Games] Davith:
Maybe you can find a hidden setting in opera:config?
[Android Apps and Games] webmastir:
You can set the agent ID in opera:config (or about:config (same thing))

yep. many probably aren't aware of this (the avg user anyway). lots of great settings can be toggled in there :cool:
[Android Apps and Games] Davith:
Does someone know where in opera:config I can set it so that it's automatically zoomed in when a page is loaded? I miss that option from the stock and Miren Browser. It's so far out I always need to double tap to be able to read anything. It's a bit of a hassle.

Glad they fixed the font though. If they can enable automatic close up it's a definite winner. Faster browser I've tested.
[Android Apps and Games] zekozeko:
But which one is android - iphone agent? There are just numbers from 1 to 5?
[Android Apps and Games] webmastir:
hrm. not sure what the values represent in mini, but the normal opera browser is:

1: Identify as Opera

2: Identify as Firefox

3: Identify as Internet Explorer

4: Mask as Firefox (opera not mentioned)

5: Mask as Internet Explorer (opera not mentioned)

i'm sure it's same/similar
[Android Apps and Games] germanhoss:
Opera Mobile 11 is really fast - good :cool:

But I have an issue, that bothers me: I like to use a narrow system font (at the moment Pakenham) because

a) I got more information-per-line without sacrificing too much readibility

b) after some time I simply began to like it :D

The normal browser uses this font, too, but not Opera M11. I tried to find something in the opera:config but without success so far. I always got websites with text in a kind of plump Times :(
[Android Apps and Games] vizographic:
Opera mobile 11 is rocking! It is by far the fastest and most capable android browser I've used to date. I've used Miren , UC, Maxithon, Dolphin HD, and the stock android browsers along with their respective "mini" versions, and while they all have positive points none of them come as close as the new Opera to providing all in one surfability. The speed of this browser is breathtaking, It makes the performance of the others seem sluggish in comparison. No its not perfect, as was noted earlier in this thread, text selection is rudimentary among other weak points. Awkward user agent modification is particularly irritating, and they don't have a version for the Iphone. On the plus side I have an android and as a total package this baby is a screamer. It handles flash as well or better than the stock/dolphin browser and did I mention how fast it is. Do yourself a favor and give this browser a whirl.

Note: I was a devoted Opera user on my old and well used wimo Kaiser/tilt so my opinion is likely to be slanted by nostalgia, but damn the browser is just so fast. Oh and did I mention how fast it is?

I'm having a weird problem with Opera.

Normally it's very snappy. Sometimes though, it will act like my touchscreen isn't working. It will barely scroll and you can't click any links. It's not like it's lagging, just not recognizing my input. Any thoughts?

It ONLY does it with Opera, I can hit the home button and no other apps have the issue. If I force close and reopen Opera, it will work fine for awhile and quit after a bit of browsing. I don't notice that it does it on any particular site.

How to change User agent in opera mobile to opera mini?
[Android Apps and Games] vizographic:
I was on the opera mobile forums and the moderator said Opera was aware if this issue and they were working to address it.

I love the browser despite its quirks, but they should have kept it in beta status longer to iron out major bugs like this.....just my ever more worthless two cents.
[Android Apps and Games] Shining_knight:
Yes it does.

I believe that was with Opera Mini, mainly due to the fact that all the data is stored on the Opera Servers. In this one, it isnt. The content is being rendered on the screen itself.

Setup for the Viewsonic GTablet is a cinch -

1) type in opera:config into the browser window

2) scrool down to User Prefs (2nd from the bottom) and open

3) Find Custom User-Agent and type the following into the field

Mozilla\4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Linux; ##)Opera 11.00

Where I have placed the ##, you type in language preference - en for english, fr for french, de for german, etc, so for english, it is

"Mozilla\4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Linux; en)Opera 11.00"

4) Scroll to bottom of opera:config page and SAVE the change

5) go to your settings and force close the Opera browser to ensure that it is shut down

6) Click on the Opera Browser icon to Start

7) Go to a site known to automatically reformat to mobile format - Radio France International at rfi.fr is an example - check to see that you get the desktop format

Hi,

Can Opera Mobile 11 clear history, cache, cookies, etc. on exit?
[Android Apps and Games] greengoldmello:
i DONT HAVE THIS ISSUE. It still scrolls pretty smoothly when playing flash content on youtube, so once u get that fixed, it should be a nice tech demo for your friends :-)
[Android Apps and Games] webmastir:
Opera:config > Disk Cache > Empty On Exit

should clear the cache.

Opera:config > User Prefs > Max global History Lines > 0

not ideal as it stops any history being displayed in the current browsing section

Check out the User Prefs as something like AutocompleteOff may help with the auto suggestions

Which browser do you suggest btw this and dolphin? Which is draining more battery?
[Android Apps and Games] Theonew:
Opera Mobile uses up far more memory than the Dolphin Browser HD. So it may drain battery quicker. Dolphin Browser takes up only 2.33mb and can be moved to SD card which would result in less than 1mb on device. Opera Mobile takes up 20mb and moved to SD card would still result in 10mb on device plus cache. They're both good but if you want to conserve space or have a device with low storage, then head for Dolphin Browser HD located here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1106011. If you have enough space then go for any or even both.

P.S. - Moving to SD requires Android 2.2+
