As always, a slick piece of software. Thanks.

Two requests, one major and one minor: Please enlarge the font in the URL and search fields (option?), and could I be spared the confirmation on exiting? It's already quite a lot of key presses to get to exit.

Yes, it's basically the same update. The major difference with SDK2 version is the UI.

Again my feeds are all gone !!!!!!!!! Opera please do something to save the feeds in opera link !!!!!!!!
I have installed from ovistore and i had the previous version before. If I install from m.opera.com it does not delete feeds, but today made a big mistake and I accessed ovistore program directly from the phone. It wiped everything :-((

It still happens if you install from m.opera.com. Happened to me lots of times. Though it does'nt happen with opera mini 4.x . Because of this , I have to keep all my feeds in google reader.

Did you report a bug? If so, do you have the bug number?

I really hate that Opera Mini lost those RSS feeds EVERY TIME if I update from m.opera.com. I do not have report it, but it has happened for me with multiple devices (all are Nokia Symbian phones).

What I did noticed first time ever is that when updating from Nokia Store, RSS feeds have remain intact. So I really hope I'll find that update soon at Nokia Store.

I have tried updating a lot now, and I can't reproduce. I've tried from Ovi to Ovi, from m.opera.com to m.opera.com and from m.opera.com to Ovi. The feeds are always kept.

Good for you!

How I can help you? Any debug mode or logs? I could voluntarily update and lost my feeds if that could help you spot that bug? I definitely can reproduce that.

If you could report a bug (from your computer - as it's easier to type there) on http://mini.bugs.opera.com and include the following:
* Which version (with build number) you start with.
* Which version (with build number) you update to.
* A list of feeds you've subscribed to.
* Are you logged in with Opera Link?
* Phone model and firmware.

I think we could start there. When you've reported the bug, please report the SKIRNE number back here in the forum.

Thanks!

Ok, I'll do it tomorrow at the latest.

Thanks! No rush. I'm not back at work until Monday.

Ok Have a nice weekend

I can check in using opera now, thanks opera

Heh, this is hilarious

Now I updated Opera Mini 6.5.26991 to 6.5.27309 and... RSS feeds NOT disappeared! This is 2. time in many years!

Well, I'm really happy with that, but I'll do bug report if Opera Mini lost RSS feeds again.

I just wonder what fixed it. Maybe updating from Nokia Store fixed it? This illustrates my update history:

Update from m.opera.com -> RSS Feeds lost
Update from m.opera.com -> RSS Feeds lost
...
Update from m.opera.com -> RSS Feeds lost
Update from Nokia Store -> RSS Feeds remained!
Update from m.opera.com -> RSS Feeds remained!

what is the version of this Opera mini 6.5 S60 update 1 ? Example previous was 6.5.26990

Opera mini newest version is 6.5.27309.

When I want to see all the comments on a given post, I click "see all x# of comments" I then get redirected here:www.facebook.com/ajax/ufi/modify.php which is a plain white page.
EDIT:
SKIRNE-155054

When scrolling using 2 & 8 keys I have to press my "shift" key then 8 to scroll down (for example) scrolling continues at high speed til I get to the bottom of the page.

Including "copy link address" option in the next version would me much appreciable.

I would love it too

what about long pressing "1" key? That doesn't copy links for you?
Or did I miss something, again.

How I press it in touch phone?

Nope, long pressing '1' key does'nt copy any links. This feature is not yet implemented. Otherwise, Opera would have included it in the changelog.

Opera 6.1 was faster than 6.5

It's not a Symbian/S60 device.

Hi, newbie here.

Using nokia c3-00, s40.

Update 6.5 not working properly for me since it went live. Firstly wouldn't install after downloading. When it did, its v slow. Freezes when reading feeds, ie scrolling r trying to get into a bookmark, get blank white area where it normally says how much data is downloading before page opens up properly. Veritually unusable. Reinstalled n replaced version and it won't install. Says problem with internet connection??
Had to go back to mini 3 and upgrade to 4.4 which is quite slow with my bookmarks now and no folders to sort them.
Can ye fix 6.5 4 people like me r point the way back to 6.1 which at least worked great despite inital connection errors until 6.5.2+ comes out. Thanks. Btw in Ireland, not that it should matter.

Wrong thread. This is only about S60.

Ok, didn't see a s40 thread. Anyway update greatly affects me.

Hi.
We are a developers for Symbian.
We found a font bug in Opera Mini.
Our app ScreenLock FX has custom fonts, which contain only digits (letters cut out to save space).
When our app is running, Opera Mini for some reason begins to use our custom font to display all text, including the app interface.
So when you open the Opera Mini - get beautiful rhombs instead of all letters

http://mobineon.com/images/Opera Mini_bug_2.png
http://mobineon.com/images/Opera Mini_bug_3.png

For S^1 we fixed this problem by renaming all our fonts to the format z_ #####.
For S^3, this method does not work for some reason.
While in Opera Mobile this problem does not arise.

We've written bug reports twice, but still no reaction. Please help to reach out to Opera developers.

Best regards,
Mobineon

Thanks for the feedback. We've reached your report recently and will contact you directly to get details about the fonts.

I'm glad to hear there's an update.
I don't wish to bite the hand that feeds me, but I think 6.1 has been positively the worst version of Opera Mini I've ever used on my Nokia:-
Frequent disconnections, stuck cursors and worst of all, emails and various other composed postings that fail to be uploaded.

I have now downloaded 6.5 version on my Nokia 6120C, and things seem to be running more smoothly.
However, when I try to access 'Saved pages', I get ejected from Opera Mini completely! I would be grateful for some advice re. this problem.

Please report a bug, and report back the bug number you get, e.g. SKIRNE-xxxxxx
Thanks!

I have reported the bug and have been given the report reference of SKIRNE-157622.

How many saved pages do you have? I have a hard time reproducing this problem.

Well, I had a few loaded from when I was using the 6.1 version, and then when I downloaded the 6.5 version they were still there, but I can't access them.

Hey guys im on s60v2 i had some problem with the Om6.5.0 with stability, now its somewhat stable but still with this update also its takes a lot of memory to run, if i open 4 to 5 tabs in background than Operamini freezes along with my phone and i have to remove the battery to make wake it up again. Please for next update make it less memory hungry

What is your phone model ?

nokia 6630 v6.03.40
and now after freezing my phone restarts itself

Your phone has 10mb internal memory. Guess its too low for opera mini symbian. How does the java version work?

The java version is too memory hungry and slow to be run on my phone that why its was written in native in the first place. And problem is not internal memory its the free ram only 8.2 mb free after boot. Only if native version of Opera mini 4.4 for S60v2 is gonna run smoothly i suppose, but that does't exist.

i have one suggestion,can you add a button "check for updates" in next version of opera mini?

Whenever I search on Yahoo!, I can't select text from the results page. Opera Mini (latest for S60, Nokia Nuron 40.8.003). The only thing it does it select parts of the first website linked, and display only 1 one of the text selection blue icons!?! The other one is missing!!

Cool app. Works perfectly in my nokia 5233. Its smooth.
I faced one problem. If I keep my OM minimized for a few moments without browsing or downloading, then when I open it I can't browse. So I had to restart opera mini a again. Please fix this bug :-( :-(

I am unable to reproduce this behavior on our 5230. Could you check in advanced settings which protocol you're using? It's either HTTP or Socket/HTTP.

If the whole webpage is linked then this problem happens.

Please try to do something to avoid as much as possible text overlaping in my nokia x6.
Is the major drawback for this app, specially with large font.
Thanks.

Be kind to provide an example or url where overlaping can occur since nobody reported that.

Hello from Greece! I'm a huge fan of Opera Mini ever since 2009 and its been my browser of choice for the last 3 years. Nevertheless, since december, Im getting a very weird problem at my Nokia C7 (Symbian Anna 022.014). Once in a week, Opera denies to load :-s It stays for some seconds at the loading page, the red progress bar stucks right before the end and the app stops before it loads. From that moment and on all I can do to bring it back is uninstall it and reinstall it. Then for some days it runs beautifully as always and after a week or so it happens again. The weird thing is that it started all of a sudden (no phone update or anything) and no matter which version of OM I choose to download (or where to dl from) it will happen again n again n again...
Any ideas are welcome cause I REALLY dont wanna give up on OM. Thanx in advance.

I have had same problem as some others have reported: Leave browser open in background for while or longer time or read longer article etc. and when you come back to browser and try enter whatever site, broswer doesn't load page, you have to exit and open opera again to get it work again little while.

Also same bug, which been around years also on android, my brother reports same, is that you press some link and opera just reloads the old page and doesn't open the link. I remember you guys long time ago saying that it's because some sites/forums have something wrong with their site.

Nokia N8, symbian belle, mostly via wifi.

P.S. While I was writing this comment on my phone, browser did the first problem I wrote. I hit the the post comment and browser didn't do anything, was just loading. So I copy paste my comment and exit and opened again browser...

I just tried editing my comment but the edit button reloads this same old view again. I was going to add to that second bug/feature that after few or several times hitting that some link it does open. One forum where I had to hit the link( thread, not actually link to other site) 6 times browser to open that link. Also forum called forum.dailymobile.se I use alot needs sometimes to hit few times link to get me to thread which is behind the link...

Edit. When I hit after this comment Submit, browser did the the second bug, reloaded the page, did not post my comment. Now trying second time to hit the submit button...

Edit2: Editing now on my PC, seems like comment came 2 times, tho it showed to me first time that it just reloaded the page... Second time I hit the Submit button, browser opened just white page. So I hit back button and hit reload the page and now showed that my comment came 2 times.

Okay, I have now tested few hours Opera mini by setting PROTOCOL to HTTP only, which is not set by default. It feels like it solves at least the first bug ( need tho testing more than few hours, few days. Tho with the other protocol browser would already been seen the first bug in that time, testing...). Not tested yet enough to report does it fix the second bug...

Yeah I'm using just HTTP for about 10 days. And I'm not getting that 'minimize and don't work' problem.

This bug has been present since the release of Opera Mini 6.0. I filed a bug report (SKIRNE-117824) back in March and posted about it on the forum: http://my.opera.com/community/forums/topic.dml?id=947142&t=1328902003 I'm rather surprised it hasn't been fixed.

Hi I have nokia 6600 s60v2 and small memory can you add option "system application"(mark this application as system which will prevent OS to close it automatically in low memory conditions) x-plore and slick have this option and is good

Okay, when the browser stops loading pages, you don't need to exit, just change the PROTOCOL to HTTP only (browser will work), if you try again switch back to default protocol, browser again not loading pages, you have to exit and start app again to use default protocol. Tho the HTTP only is much slower than default http/socket.

Both protocols have the second bug I posted above. I think I made proper bug report about this few years ago, lol.

Just installed the latest on my new Nokia 603 HK model. Built in browser and opera mobile with Asian support both display Chinese pages like www.uc.cn fine, but Opera Mini fails to use the built in Chinese fonts!

On my English font only 5230, I can install the Universal Fonts on Dailymobile.se forums to see everything in Chinese in Mini, but since these Chinese fonts are builtin on the 603, mini Should utilize them.
