Opera Mini 6.5 for Symbian/S60

Release!

Opera Mini 6.5 for Symbian/S60 has now left the Opera building!

If you want to know why you should download it, take a look at the changelog:

• Crash logger: all crashes will now be reported to Opera (not supported on S60 2nd Edition phones) so we can work on preventing more crashes
• Access to your system bookmarks through browser UI
• New setting to enable system status bar (not supported on S60 2nd Edition phones): you get instant access to notification pane on your Symbian Belle device
• Lower data usage with WebP image format (not supported on S60 2nd Edition phones)
• Support for more languages in browser UI (17 (!) new languages added)
• HTTP/Socket setting is back
• Sharing pages through e-mail
• Check how much data traffic you saved using Opera Mini on "Data Usage" page
• Bookmark your favorite pages easily with a star in URL address field

To get hold of this great version, go to http://m.opera.com on your phone or http://www.opera.com/mobile/download/versions/ from your PC.

Edited at 16:50 CET: If you already downloaded Opera Mini, and have a Sony Ericsson device, please download again, as we just fixed a small bug.

Please keep the general feedback in this thread, as it makes our lives sooo much easier!

And don't forget to report bugs in the bug report wizard

Thanks, and enjoy!

The Opera Mini Symbian/S60 team

Nice. Digging the status bar feature. Socket/http feature is welcome again. Keep up the great work guys. Thank you very much.

I wonder if this mini 6.5 does not work with N95 8gb since it always returns error when I try to upgrade. Now it runs mini 5.1
Any ideas?

If you run native Mini 5.1 Beta (or Beta2) you need to deinstall old version first. Problem is caused by application name change between 5.1 and 6.0 which is poorly handled by old S60 platform versions (S60 3.1).

Hi. I installed mini 6.5 into Nokia C6-01 (Anna).
When to start, font information dialog appears,
and system restarts...

Anyone also happens?

Yeah! HTTP/Socket back! Thanks!

In this line of thought: is it safe to upgrade from 6.1 to this (6.5) on my E51? Will my bookmarks, speed dial and settings be kept?

Thank you yuryp !
That did the trick and my old N95 8GB now rocks Mini 6.5

Does anyone know if 6.5 now reads saved 6.0 pages 6.1 couldn't read?

still cant load livescore.com

I can load livescore.in.

Not sure about this one. On my N8 scrolling is way to sensitive. It's hard now to hold a finger on a link without moving the whole page. Rolling back to 6.1 because it's way better.

You can safely upgrade from 6.1 to 6.5

go to m.opera.com and upgrade from 6.1 to 6.5

Hey guys, thanx for new version 6.5! It's really fast and smooth! But there is one problem - How can i return GOOGLE SEARCH engine by default? I don't really like Yandex. Can anyone help with that?
Thank you

I don't really understand your question. Google is still the default search engine. It only uses yandex search suggestion.

Is it the intended behaviour of Opera Mini that if I select and use another search engine other than Google, the selection is not remembered and the search engine returns to Google upon restart?

I would like the option to select my own default search engine and for it to remain so after I close and restart Opera Mini.

i had no problems with my upgrade from mini 6.1 to 6.5.(my mobile is nokia E71-2) It kept all my settings, saved pages, speed dials, and even the search engines i added as well. Same for opera mobile 11.5, so id say you'll be ok to update. Keep up the good work Opera.

Yes it's the intended behavior...
I'd like to have the ability to change the default search engine as a separated option too.

That is not supposed to happen. You should re-install om and check it out.

I tried, no result.
Also, I asked this question in AllNokia Russian forum, seems like I'm not the only guy who has this problem

The default search engine varies per country / operator.

1. Generally working Great on usa Nokia nuron 5230 under both latest versions of opera mini and mobile with Swype!
2. Still no time in status bar when shown. Still need to exit our switch out of opera to check the current time.
3. No session time or total time online under the bandwidth savings page. If opera browser is keeping stats, might want to add time tracking, too.
4. Status bar, when activated, only shows up in portrait mode. Never appears in landscape mode.

Otherwise, no problems thus far and a great update.

Can you describe your problems in more details? Which device do you use?

This is by design. Status bar has some problems in landscape on S60 5.0 phones.

It's currently available for Google and Yandex as far as I know.

Is it possible to install Opera mini 6.5 Symbian on my Nokia E50? When I try to install it from mini.opera.com on my mobile, i see "install OperaMini.sis is not supported". Is it really not supported on Nokia E50, or I did something wrong?

SO can somebody help me, how to return GOOGLE by default??

No,you can not install opera mini.sis on your phone,because your phone is not symbian,but you can install opera mini 4.4

You should be able to add a new search engine (long press on google search field to get this command), but there is an issue with search engine management currently - please keep track of updates.

Something strange is happening. We're looking into it. Any chance you could download the file from http://m.operamini.com/OperaMini.sis?act=dl&tag=mini5s60 and transfer it via bluetooth? That worked for me, at least.

Yes we are able to add new search engines but never set them as default.

... and we would very much like to.

Please Opera

Yes, I know how to add new search engine but I don't know how to make it by default.
And at least, can I don't want to see ANY yandex in my browser

Can you please report a bug through mini bug wizard with link to files that constantly fail for you. Would be useful if you could provide the following info in the report: connection type (2G/3G/WiFi), your mobile operator and country.

SKIRNE-153254
Using inline edit, when in a text field opera acts like it doesn't know a key has been released. Mostly capitals and punctuation marks. For instance the colon becomes :::::::::::::: until stopped by another key.
This has happened across platforms (Java & Symbian S60v3) and over 4 units (2 Nokia, LG, Pantech) with all v's of Mini since 4.2.

Also, the bug report did not confirm that the report was sent.

It's sent.

Is the other Nokia S60? If so, a model number would be good. Maybe we have that one?

Any chance we can see the 'Go to top' and 'Go to bottom' shortcuts again (like in Opera Mini 4.x)? E.g. on my Nokia E51 (an S60v3 device), #+Up / #+Down could be used for that and the same goes, I believe, for any keypad-equipped device.

@ ManneS: none of the other units were S60, sorry. Like I said, though, this is a cross platform bug...

@D1sasterp1ece Good idea.

I have always been grateful that you give us fontsizes to choose from, but may I suggest that you also apply this to the URL and search field?

This goes for both Mini and Mobile, of course :-)

Its a pleasure to brow se with opera mini

i want to change the user-agent to pc-like agent to browse the full web.

I'm really glad to report that the super annoying constant crash issue is now finally solved with this version.

But then there is another really small rant, which is nothing compared to the constant crashing. Let's go in to that issue.

I'm wondering why start page button is grayed out at times. Then I need to close current tab, to get to start page, instead of using start page button from menu. It's bit harder to open tabs menu and close current tab than using menu and selecting start page from it. Also disabling start page button doesn't make any sense as far as I know. Could someone tell me why it's being grayed out, maybe there is reasonable reason behind this feature?

- Thank you!

Best regards,
Sami Lehtinen

In a tab , when you start browsing from the start page, you will notice that the start page button does not gray out. This is because the start page is available in that tab.
But in case you opened a tab with 'open in new tab' feature, you directly open that tab with the link. You didn't open it with start page. Hence, there is no start page for this tab and the start page button grays out.

Originally posted by shubh0ghosh:

Yes, that's exactly it. But why does it make any difference? If I opened that page from start page, from bookmarks or from 'open in new tab' link option? AFAIK, it shouldn't.

- Thanks

The new tab can be used as a main tab but in fact is not (that affect cache management), so you can close all tabs in any order but at the end reverting on frontpage ## (forward) command must reload from history all pages in correct order and that can't be done directly from the second window (debug: page count windows). Connection test is opened in another tab, btw.

does anyone know if its possible to turn split screen off? its really annoying when updating facebook status's for example because u can only see the few words in the little box, i had opera 5 before this and when i click on anything text related it brought up like a new text message screen to type in.

im on C7 btw

thanks

@parky1986 Go to advanced settings and disable Opera keyboard.

opera keyboard is turned off already

opera mini 6.1 allow 'check in' feature for 1 day only on 11th Nov.... Why is that happen?
I've downloaded 6.5 version for my j20i, still no 'check in' feature... come on opera..

Opera must give themes and personalise options...for 6.5 or next versions!!!

Thanks Dude .......... Finally I got Powerful mobile Browser..

yes on Nov 11th I was able to check-in on facebook with 6.1 on my LG Rumour Touch. And now its gone. It was awesome! Why was it taken away :/

New update!
