Opera Mobile 11.5 for Android

Hi everyone,

We are glad to announce that we have released Opera Mobile 11.5 for Android.
Please visit Opera's page in Android Market on your PC or open Android Market application on your phone to download.
This release is for Android 1.6+ devices only.

We have treats for Opera Turbo users. There is a new option in settings that would turn Turbo off automatically when you browse on WiFi network.
You may also want to look into "Data Usage" section in "Help" to see how much data Turbo is saving for you.

This will be a manual update in Android Market as we have added one new permission for reading system bookmarks. But in return we have given you the possibility to import bookmarks from Android system browser.

We have a new star in town. It's located in the address field. Just touch it and you can easily bookmark current page or add a shortcut to it on Android home screen.

We have also improved our experimental Flash support for Honeycomb to make it compatible with Flash 11.

Last but not least - Opera will now store cache on SD card whenever possible. Cache entries are encrypted.

You can read more about the new features in Opera Mobile Blog

We are looking forward for your feedback!
You can report problems using "Report a problem" tool in Help.

User view settings still wrong with no android view setting. only a simple mobile view.

Opera Link still doesn't work on Xoom Wifi.

Thanks for the update for us honeycomb users. Not to sound negative, but text entry is still all over the place, at least on the Transformer. Clicking in some text boxes now "zooms in" the field to the whole page (text is still tiny tho) and there's no way to get out of it, except Page Back. Seems to keep the changes tho - is this a feature? Gotta stick with Maxthon for work, but Opera is the best browser experience overall. Well done.

Opera Link now works on my US Moto Xoom WiFi, and i was able to successfully sync my bookmarks!!! Thank you!

Samwongcs <- you might want to try and sync again, mine worked on the first try.

Lovely update, working smoothly on my Desire S (Gingerbread 2.3). Thanks guys!

Opera Link doesn't work if your username contains dot . I tried it with my old account (alphanumeric username) and it worked fine.

Still no option to open new tabs in foreground. Accepted that many prefer opening in background, but at least could we be given the option in Opera:config, seeing that that was previous behaviour?

I am having problems with Opera 11.5, flash 11 and CyanogenMod 7.1 on Samsung Galaxy S. The flash video starts but after a few seconds (10-20) the flash becomes white and Opera is not responding anymore. On official Samsung ROM it works fine. Using Flash 10.3 works on CM7.1 but I'd like to use latest version of flash. Any advice ? (beside using oficial rom )

Seems to be faster than 11.1 was ...

I guess I'll fix that typo in the original post, there's an 11.1 which obviously should be 11.5 ...

Hi, I'm enjoying the Opera Mobile browser for a last few months on my Asus Transformer, but I noticed that after the last update Opera started to freeze for a second o two every time when I switch between tabs (it takes this time to show a tab after it was chosen) or close a tab.

Can this be fixed please?
Thanks.

THE STAR!
Does the star have the option to add the page to the Speed Dial?

@rafaelluik - no, just to bookmarks or your device homescreen.

This is inconsistent to the new bookmark star coming for the future desktop browser version. It should let you to add the page to the Speed Dial.

I didn't make the browser, I just use it

It's not exactly a Herculean task to add the current page to speed dial however - simply open a new tab, tap on your speed dial page (which will have opened in the background in the new tab), press 'clear' on a speed dial you wish to replace, then press 'add' - top of the list of choices you're offered will be the page you're on, click and you're done.

Admittedly longer than two taps on the star, but quantifiable in mere seconds, which I personally can live with.

Hahaha! I haven't thought that. I'm giving feedback on the topic.

I could say it's not exactly a Herculean task to add the current page to the bookmarks and that the star is pointless. (I mean, it isn't that way, and I think there should be an option to add it to the Speed Dial too - as can be done in Opera 12 for computers).

Difference being that in Opera Mobile you're limited to 9 items in Speed Dial, and thus will likely have to replace something, Opera Desktop can just append it to your list as there's no limit.

Ok, this new version is a bugfest, as far as I'm concerned. Spent the past 2 days trying to get it to work, to no avail.
Images don't load (connection speed doesn't matter, they don't load when I'm on wi-fi either. happens with or without turbo, also), some websites I simply can't access (they begin loading, and then opera decides that it doesn't feel like loading them, so it simply stops), I can access settings for all of two seconds, at most, after which it automatically closes settings and gets me back to whatever page I was on before, I can't even set speed dial items since I get the same 2-sec-and-get-the-hell-out policy.
Can ANYBODY tell me how to revert to the previous version (11.1 I believe it was). I've searched all over and I can't find it. And apparently opera mobile doesn't have the "download previous versions" Opera for PC has.
Help GREATLY appreciated. I'd really really hate to have to install some other browser on my phone, since they all suck compared to Opera, but frankly? At the state it's currently in, I cannot use it. It's broken.

Well it's amazing how different peoples experience of the same software can be - you didn't mention what device you were using, but it runs beautifully on my HTC Desire (Gingerbread 2.3) with no problems whatsoever.

If you wish to downgrade to 11.1 you can get it here:

ftp.opera.com/pub/opera/android/mobile/1110/Opera_Mobile_11.1_Android.apk

On the page http://m.opera.com/ a link to Dowload Opera Mobile for Android 11.5 is offered. If i click this link market opens with the mesage Not found. The search string is wrong pname:com.opera.browser.

Could some go and tell Opera that? The mini opera that is offered sucks as I cannot switch off Turbo.

The link https://market.android.com/details?id=com.opera.browser also doesnt't work. It looks like Opera pulled the android browser off the market. Such a shame.

Your link takes me to the Opera Mobile Market page. Don't know why it's not working for you. :/

Mini opera turbo?
Opera mini has no turbo mode - do you mean turbo mode in opera mobile

Ok, It looks like the account settings required to find Opera Mobile have to be "Low". With settings on No the Opera mini is shown but Opera Mobile is not.

@Maceddie: With Opera Mini I cannot connect to a local server (LAN). With Opera Mobile with Turbo switch-off I can, Therefor I deducted that Opera Mini uses Turbo mode, as turbo would not be able to locate local servers as all connections are proxied over Opera servers.

All is fine now.

спасибо очень доволен новой версией оперы

I can connect using Opera mini and mobile using Wi-fi (LAN ?). Is that the same thing?

@maceddie
You can use only Opera Mobile with turbo switched off to access devices on the same network.

EDIT:
also pawelu, please read this message

Recently I had really bad experiences with the latest Opera Mobile.
I hope you will think about the things I'm writing.
First, the new Presto engine is all good and nice, but there is a really annoying thing about the update. When I try to long tap something, the screen continues to move unlike the 11.1 did, because it stands still while I long tap something. I have to try a lot to long tap a link. Really annoying and this is the main reason why I went back to 11.1

Second, bookmarks from address bar, yaay! However, the the new icons that the tab when Opera button is pressed got are making it look "cold". It's really strange to look at it. In the 11.1 that tab has some nice red in it, that makes it look "warm". That just feels so much better.

The first problem is more important to be fixed I guess.
If you have anything to ask or tell, please contact me on my gmail, that is hh.vadolf@gmail.com

Just a sidenote, I asked one of the Opera employers earlier about changing icons in Opera Mobile, but I got no reply. Can please tell me if there is a way. If there is just tell me, I'll understand whatever the way it is to do so.

+1 there's enough space for both options, as we have in the desktop browser ("Open link in New Tab" AND "Open link in Background Tab" available in the context menu).

I'm an HTC Evo 4G user. My phone has root, my 1.2 gb CPU is responsibly over-clocked via SetCPU, and I'm running QQ Launcher on a Sense ROM. My root install was from Revolutionary I/O, 04.4. My recovery is no longer ClockworkMod - I now have Amon Ra (much nicer; you can use many more apps with it installed). The install was clean, done on a completely wiped 16 gb SDMicro; I also wiped the Dalvik cache, opened SIMLOCK, and installed Superuser 2.3.3 right on top of the root before I flashed... this was all done after many failed attempts, as I was a newbie to Android. Now, I would consider myself an 'Apprentice' (haha)... after all was completed, I did a Nandroid backup via the Titanium Pro Suite - three apps that are the very best you can buy. Sorry for the long descriptor... but, I just wanted any Android users to know exactly what I had done, prior to giving this assessment.

Opera Mini 6.5 - blazingly fast. Screen res is just as good as Dolphin HD, Skyfire, et cetera. Integration with Adobe Flash... well, my experience has been less than spectacular, even on WiMax (I still have to go through the app itself to get things done)... still, a great little browser that REALLY goes.

Opera Mobile 11.5 - it is wonderfully put together; the presentation, is every bit a PC experience. However, it CRAWLS. It'll load 3/4 of the way into a page, and just sit there. I talked with other fellow Opera Mobile users who use it - same assessment. Whenever you search the Android Market for Opera Mobile, you'll get Opera Mini pulled up every time. Why this is, I don't know. I've tried Opera Mobile with Turbo off, and on (Opera Link off, or on, as well) - depending on available bandwidth. The exit button is a nice feature, but, you'll get an "Are you sure?" - and, sometimes, it'll clear cache history. Oftentimes, it doesn't. Opera Link works well with my PC, but, once again, Adobe crawls even after the correct install. I now have to use Skyfire as my main browser, just to get things done quickly.

My two cents. I am, and always will be, an Opera Person (dunh- dunhdunhdunhdunnnnnhhh...). "Yes, it's Opera Person. A faithful Sergeant-At Arms, dedicated to our quest for free, unfettered 'Net access... may we triumph over the shadow of Google, the present father to Android! Onward, soldiers! We haven't yet begun the battle.... (tape 'scrub' coming to a slow... stop...)"

How can we, as Opera Mobile users, help get things moving faster?

Has anybody tried it on an HTC Magic? I have CyanogenMod with Froyo installed on it. Mini works fine, but Mobile is almost impossible to install and when it finally is it won't load pages properly, and the menus disappear moments after being clicked on.

@tunester hahaha

Latest update crashes immediately when launched. Force close, that's all I get. S Galaxy S2. Please fix!

Hi everyone,
I noticed, after the latest Opera Mobile 11.5.2 update (two days ago, I think), that the browser is lagging strongly. When the page loads, I often get the message of Opera not responding, which is something before unthinkable. I was used to a speedy browser with no problem whatsoever. Does anyone have the same problem?
I must say I wiped all data and all preferences but the problem persists. I am running HTS Desire with custom ROM 2.3.3 InsertCoin v51.

Hi

Latest mobile version (11.5) does not work on Pearl X4 ( http://www.pearl.de/a-PX8765-1540.shtml ) , Android 2.3 - simply crashes while being opened.

I have the same problem on my Samsung Epic 4G, which is a Galaxy S, stock phone, running Froyo 2.2.1. I have downgraded to OM11.1, and downgraded flash as well and am running fine again. Looks to me like 11.5+ runs fine on Android 3.0+. Maybe that's the target for this release?

Yes, me!
(In case you want to go back to 11.5.1: http://www.apktop.com/tag/opera-mobile-web-browser-apk)

Since the last update on Nov 3 Opera opens, after about 5 seconds it freezes for about 30 seconds, report error comes up. after 30 seconds it operates as normal if you press wait.

SE X10 on android 2.3.

Also loading blank screens on Facebook mobile when you go to comment, refresh then loads the page.

As per my post earlier, Opera Mobile 11.5.1 (and 2) hasn't working well within the Android platform. On some of the phones with lesser processors, it'll just crash... on phones like the HTC Evo (I have one, overclocked; and I've tried it with, or without Turbo). Opera Mobile used to give the most PC-like browsing experiences, with great speed when Turbo was enabled. Now, it drags, or fails to load pages. I've toggled any app I have to make a comparison; hell, I've even turned off my AVG Mobilation Anti-Virus software, to see if that was the culprit; no soap.

I'm sure that the team at Opera will get this sorted away in a hurry. I love Opera Software, and what it stands for. However, allow me to make a small suggestion, so that video on Opera Mobile & Mini will be a seamless experience:

If you (Opera Software) don't want to pay for full-usage rights to Adobe Software, or, you disagree with how they view the Web experience AND/or do business, then, there are two choices:

1 - Bite the bullet, and do what you have to do to get Adobe Flash, Shockwave, et al, working seamlessly within your browser software; or,
2 - Find a developer who has the answer to what Adobe offers, make it seamless... and then, you - Opera - will have the upper hand when it comes down to dealing with the big boys.

Thanks for that, it works fine after the 30 second wait for my x10. I think this is a 1ghz cpu, not sure.

We need a fix as the latest update foreclosed all the time

New update works fine on Asus Transformer TF101

Well, thank you for advice. However, I use Opera across multiple platforms especially and almost only because of Opera Link, so disabling opera link doesn't suit me...

if market link is not working for you, then you can download opera browser from alternative android apps site such as : AppsApk.com
well... this is another link of opera mini browser
http://www.appsapk.com/opera-mini/

I'm waiting for my Galaxy Note. Wondering how great Opera will look like on that phone . Can't praise Opera Mobile enough.

не знаю почему так но опера мини лучше отображает фото на мобиле LG Optimus ME чем опера мобиле
I do not know why but opera mini better displays photos on mobile of LG Optimus ME than Opera Mobile

In Opera 10.1 was the normal control of the keyboard (in devices with full keyboard). In later versions do not. For example, on my device (smartbook toshiba ac100) before you can use the keys PgUP \ PgDN, now do not. Irritating second cursor when scrolling.
I beg you to return, though keyboard control.
And if possible use a large portion of the possible keys. Make it as close as possible to approximate PC-version.

On my HTC Desire, the turbo mode works on wifi, but not on the 3g network.
But on the same phone Opera mini works well (wifi and 3g).
To test the woorking of the turbo mode, i check the economy meter and this site http://www.localiser-ip.com/ to see where i arrive on the internet (provider or Opera servers in poland)


I've try to access to opera10-turbo-ch.opera-mini.net:80 with opera Mobile over 3G and the result is "Hostname lookup for "" failed ERR_ZERO_SIZE_OBJECT so my phose is able to communicate with opera servers.

I've had a look in the opera:config page, in the proxy setting, the turbosettings.xml path point to a non existing file. But as the turbo works on wifi, i think it doesn't matter. Opera must use a default built-in turbo settings.
How to know them ? maybe the port is not 80 and is blocked by my isp. (virgin mobile fr)

Any help please

The new version of Opera Mobile isn't working for me either. I'm glad I did a Titanium Backup the other day and I'm hoping I can restore to a previous version. I really don't want to have to go back to Dolphin Browser until you get this resolved. I simply don't like the look of the Opera mini. I use a Tablet, and the condensed look is simply too hard to read.

My problem is web pages simply will not load. I've tried multiple pages. From Facebook (which is where I first noticed the issue), to our local news website, to even the Opera webpage. The loading status bar gets stuck at a very very tiny amount.

Please get it fixed soon! I love Opera on my tablet!

It seems to be a working version, thanks.

Не работает синхронизация опера линк.

what's next devs? any indication of when we may expect the next beta our significant release? thanks

hi - as already wrote what was in my Opera Mobile 11.5 for Android deleted it and made the mini as too was the end of it - mini on a lot of works better and strangely enough in the mini display of pictures, photos of the a lot better than Opera Mobile 11.5 for Android - smartphone I have a LG Optimus ME OC Android 2.2

Was ich überhaupt nicht verstehe, dass man zwar von Android Lesezeichen übernehmen kann aber direkt von Opera-Windows bzw. Opera-Linux nicht!
Man sollte als 1. die eigene Fans bedienen und dann erst die neuen Opera-Anwender.

Die Oper muss man noch besser wahrscheinlich machen

Hey, I have a problem with that version. Version 11.1 changelog says theres a "Fix so that 7" 800x480 tablets will get tablet UI", but I'm on a 7" 800x480 tablet (160 DPI, Android 2.3.5) and I still see the huge mobile layout only... Apparetly its related to screen density, because when I change it to 150 DPI it switches to tablet view, but then after reboot apps in the market becomes "incompatible" due to changed screen "resolution" so I cant use it for long. Could you please fix that? Maybe lower the tablet view DPI requirements to 160 or a little more?

first sorry for my bad english
I installed opera mobile 11.5 on my samsung gt s5670 (galaxy fit) and I didn't able to find on proxy setting (opera:config) where I can put pac file (automatic proxy configuration URL) so I didn't use network that ask me an proxy authentication required
someone can help me ?
thanks
