Suggestions for Opera Mini 7? or new release
Hi Opera Team, first of all because I know how hard it is to program I really appreciate what you guys are doing and especially because it's also done for free. I have been using Opera Mini since I was in primary school(actually not that long ago, a few years, 5 to be exact)I would just like to show you guys my wishlist for a new opera mini, thank you for considering this. Here they are:
*JavaScipt countdown timers of file sharing sites like 4shared, megaupload, ect.
*Skins, I have opera mini 4.4 additionaly installed just because I love this feature
*When a page loads it can dim a little, this would look cool but I don't really need it, but it would be nice.
*Share via email
*A suggestion page like the bug report menu
If any one in the community has any other ideas please share. Thanx for everyone who's reading
After download a song we have to close the opera to liston it . Plz give a option 'play' after download. I love opera and i dont want that any other browser overtake opera so add above functions.

Flash support is up to Nokia or Adobe, not Opera.

maybe, parental control feature and safe browsing for any smartphone is very good. -stronger download manager.
-(most important) Existence of unfinished tasks in dl mngr when relaunch the browser.
-directly copy a link instead of copying the texts.
-more speed dial capability.
-a link for bugs report.
-Some downloadable themes.
-faster launch.
By the way I'm another big fan of opera..
this most advanced browser is my first choice in both my windows and s60, even sometimes on my andro tab & I don't like to switch to some other browser...g'job opera team.
- The ability to manage sessions, such as the Opera desktop browser... save and open sessions.
- I would also like skin changes such as Opera Mini 4.x
1. Socket/http
2. Http
Even if i selects "socket/http", it gives me error 'unable to connect to the internet, please review your settings' or 'problem reading from server', so i request opera team to please add these options
1. Socket
2. Socket/Http
3. Http
O R
1. Socket
2. Http
i will be very glad on accepting my request on opera mini 6.6 or 7.
Otherwise the options of opera mini 6.5 are very. More little requests are
1. More speed dials
2. Option to change skins
3. Completly new interface (loves it)
4. Grid view for non-touchscreen mobiles
Thanks to Opera Team
The below mentioned suggestions are for java version.
(s40 phones)
The first suggestion is very very important.
1. There should be a shortcut key to save a web page. (Current procedure of saving a web page consumes too much time and memory)
2. The browser often clears the loaded page automatically when one is viewing some other page on another tab. This annoying problem can be solved if the browser, instead of loading page in java memory, saves the page, being loaded, in the saved pages folder i.e. as the page is being downloaded from the server, it should be saved in the memory card/phone memory instead of being loaded temporarily and when the browser is closed it should delete such loaded but unsaved pages.
2.5 If one has viewed a large page, the browser sometimes exits and the phone shows a message "out of memory". This problem may be solved by following the above suggestion i.e. by not loading the page in java heap memory.
3. The saved web pages should be sorted by date instead of being sorted by alphabetic order.
4. There should be a key to manually disconnect current packet data session. (Some (or perhaps all) of opera mini browsers have a feature that they automatically terminate data session. There should be an option to disable this feature)
5. When fullscreen edit is turned on, the "Find in page" feature should work as that of operamini 4.1. i.e. one should be able to scroll/navigate even when the browser has highlighted the found words.
6. There should be an option in the menu to adjust phone's backlight time and brightness.
There should be a shortcut key to change screen orientation (as it was in operamini 4.x)
Thanks,
1. Better download manager with file manager in built.
2. HTML5 support.
3. Skins ( not a priority but would be nice)
4. Resume download after restarting OM.
5. Open last viewed pages upon restart.
6. Javascript timers for 4shared like sites.
7. Better file uploading feature.
8. Keep-alive option for http connection.
9. User interface is already good, but a little change would be nice.
10. OPERA MINI ROCKS
1. fixed all bugs like as when bookmark is not sync on opera link, blank screen, find in page, copy text, etc
2. Support javascript timer
3. handler settings !!yeah!!
4. Support image animation (gif) like as ucweb
5. Support Add/Change Skin like as ucweb
6. Show/Copy Link when press 1 key on the link
7. Desktop/Full Site when opened facebook, twitter, etc
Semoga Terwujud Amien

I'm Suhail from Kashmir and I've been using Opera Mini for years. In my journey from Version 3 to Version 6, I missed the following things that constitute my Wishlist:

1. Flash Support seems to be a dead project in Opera Mini and full fledged Java-Script Support is not needed owing to huge page sizes, but Countdown Timers for File Sharing Sites, if made available, will give Opera Mini a good chunk of Desktop Traffic since everyone sends you to 4shared or Filesonic for downloading files.Or atleast, Opera Mini should load the download page soon after the waiting period of few seconds elapses on such websites.
2. An exclusive Download Manager that has the ability to Resume Downloads after reopening Opera Mini is desperately needed.
3. The Supported Download size on Opera Mini should be practically taken up to 2Gb since everyone is switching to high memory devices and faster networks like 3G.
4. In the Bookmark Menu, support for searching Bookmarks the same way one searches Contacts in Phonebook, by typing alphabets, can be a huge relief for users like me who have been using Opera Link for years and have hundreds of saved bookmarks.
5. The option to Manually Add a Bookmark and Retrieve its Title and Icon should be brought back.
6. Bookmarks saved on Opera Desktop should also be visible in Opera Mini, preferably in a seperate folder.
7. The option to Sort Bookmarks by name, date, etc might be reconsidered although it is not necessarily needed.
8. Backlight adjustment or Night Mode or both can help users save their eyes and some battery, thus providing better vision and a few more minutes to use Opera Mini.
9. The option "Copy Link Address" should be added to the Link Context Menu which currently has the options 'Open in New Tab' & 'Select Text'. When copying links by selecting text, spaces come inbetween, resulting in wrong addresses.
10. Opera Mini should have a Character Counter that shows the number of characters copied during copying text and also shows the number of remaining characters when writing text in text boxes on specific sites such as Twitter.
11. Opera mini should have a Multiple Clipboard feature.
12. Adding the option "Insert Note" and "Insert Similey/Emoticon" in the text field would be great.
13. During Power Scrolling, the cursor should point to the links on the page rather than remaining invisible at the top.
14. Power Scrolling using the side volume controls sounds great, especially on Touchscreen Phones.
15. The ability to go to Page Top and Bottom must be brought back and a single shortcut (#4) should be assigned to do so.
16. The Bars at the Top and Bottom should be made Thin as in Opera Mobile.
17. The Scroll Bar Width should be increased a bit.
18. Opera Mini should have the ability to Synchronise the Feed List, preferably across all Opera platforms, since we have to resubscribe to the RSS feeds everytime we upgrade Opera Mini or install it in a new device.
19. The first Synchronisation on freshly installed Opera Mini should run in the background after logging in to Opera Link and further Synchronisations should run during idle time.
20. Opera Mini should be given the Power to Synchronise Settings.
21. Option for selecting Desktop User Agent is required so that users are not redirected to mobile versions of websites when they wish so.
22.Opera Mini should have an Audio Download Notification such as a long beep.
23. Pinch Zoom must be Optimised.
24. The "Fold Linklists" option which is currently accessible via "Opera:Config" should be made a Regular Option in the Settings Menu since more and more people are switching to devices with larger displays.
25. The bug where on opening folded linklists some links are unavailable, should be addressed.
26. The Page Information feature must be brought back.
27. The Theme/Skin option should again be made available to give Opera Mini a cool look.
28. The Number of Speed Dials should be increased to 12
29. An Inbuilt File Manager or atleast a file browser with the ability to play music and open pictures must be added.
30. When selecting text for copying on some websites, the cursor goes missing and scrolls awkwardly. This issue should be addressed.
31. A Private Tab should be added.
32. The Size of the Text Field in webpages should be increased a bit so that one gets to see what he is writing.
33. The "Data usage" option should be placed in the Main Menu.
34. The "Data Usage" feature should be made more versatile by continuously making it to show the Internet Traffic at the top in the form of "Traffic Rainbow" like Netqin Network Manager.
35. Opera Mini should have a "Data Cap" feature that allows users to set Internet Traffic Limits on Daily/Monthly/Per-Session basis.
36. "Opera Notes" feature, which is currently accessible via "myopera:///n" and used to be a part of early Opera Mini 4 versions should be brought back.
37. The "Share" option doesn't work these days, especially when sharing on Facebook. This should be addressed.
38. Opera Mini should have a document viewer that can open PDF files and wrap their text to fit the screen. If that isn't possible, it should convert the online documents into a suitable format and offer them for reading much the same way as Google's "View as HTML" option.
39. A "Zoom Size" option like Opera Mobile should be added in addition to the already present "Text Size" option.
40. When Opera Mini switches from Portrait Mode to Landscape Mode after opening QWERT keyboard on Touchscreen Phones, it doesn't recognize the touch clicks properly. This issue needs to be addressed.
41. Opera Mini sometimes returns an empty/white page, especially after clicking 'sign in' or 'search' button on some websites. This issue is solved after retrying a few times. Hope we don't get to see any such thing in the next version.
42. When scrolling down on some websites, mostly in Desktop Mode, the column of text is not in line with the screen width but nearly 1cm to the left. Also, many websites, especially blogs don't render in Single Column view. These issues must be fixed.
43. Thumbnails of Active Tabs should be accessible on a small Tab Bar at the top for speedy navigation.
44. Opera Mini should have a "Phising and Malware Filter" and an option to enable/disable it when required.
45. The option to Predefine the Download Folder should be brought back and placed either in Settings or Download Menu.
46. The option to choose the Default Search Engine must be added.
47. The "Add Search Engine" option must be enhanced to include every possible search engine.
48. Search Engine Shortcuts, such as g for Google & y for Yahoo can save much time.
49. The letters "www" present in the address bar by default should clean in one go on pressing the Clear/Delete/Backspace key once.
50. The "Search Suggestions" feature should be restricted to the Search Bar only and it should have nothing to with the Address Bar.In earlier versions of Opera Mini, I'd just write "Torrentz" or "Wikipedia" in the Address Bar to go directly to "Torrentz.eu" or "Wikipedia.org" without having to worry about domain. Hope that same is the case with Opera Mini 7.
Other option is to unify the Search Bar and Address Bar in Opera Mini 7.
I haven't asked for Sky, not even Youtube Videos or Facebook Chat but only wish Opera Mini 7 to be a milestone like Windows 7. If Opera implements these changes, next time we may turn Opera Mini into a full fledged mobile operating system with new suggestions...lol
Opera
I posted some 50 suggestions but I missed something very important, something unique about Opera— The Opera Shortcuts. So here goes my wishlist for shortcuts:
* 1 Speed Dial 1
* 2 Speed Dial 2
* 3 Speed Dial 3
* 4 Speed Dial 4
* 5 Speed Dial 5
* 6 Speed Dial 6
* 7 Speed Dial 7
* 8 Speed Dial 8
* 9 Speed Dial 9
* * Speed Dial 10
* 0 Speed Dial 11
* # Speed Dial 12
* ↑ Open New Tab
* ↓ Close Current Tab
* → Cycle Tabs Right
* ← Cycle Tabs Left
* ✆(Call Key) Open Private Tab
* (Hold →) Go to Last Tab
* (Hold ←) Go to First Tab
# 1 Address Bar
# 2 Search Bar
# 3 Find Text
# 4 File Manager/Notes
# 5 Bookmarks
# 6 History
# 7 Downloads
# 8 Settings
# 9 Saved Pages
# * Night Mode
# 0 Reload
# # Forward
# ↑ Page Top
# ↓ Page Bottom
# → Landscape Mode
# ← Portrait Mode
# ✆(Call Key) Share
Hold * Toggle Fullscreen
Hold 0 Toggle Status Bar
Hold # Toggle Mobile/Desktop View
Press/Hold 7 Decrease Page Brightness
Press/Hold 8 Increase Page Brightness
After pressing * or #, if there is delay in pressing other key, the List of Shortcuts pops up. Nothing is wrong with it except that it becomes a hindrance if one wants to open or close a tab because the arrow keys scroll the shortcut list rather than opening or closing a tab.
However, this is not the case with Opera Mobile because the Shortcut List fits the screen due to its small font size. Thus, one of the following 3 options should be adopted in Opera Mini.
1. The font size on the pop-up should be reduced. But with increased shortcuts, that won't suffice. So 1 shortcut should be mentioned in only 1 line, example,
"eBay - Online Shopping..." rather than "eBay - Online Shopping Mall: Free Auctions, Shop/Buy/Sell Mobiles, Cameras, Apparel, Computers...".
2. The Shortcut list should pop up after 3 seconds.
3. The "Open New Tab" feature should work even if "Close Tab" doesn't work.
The drop down menu under the Opera icon should be like this
1. Start Page
2. Bookmarks
3. History
4. Downloads
5. File Manager
6. Saved Pages
7. Find in Page
8. Share
9. Settings
10. Opera Link
11. Night Mode
12. Data usage
13. Help
14. Exit
OPERA
So here I am, with one more suggestion:
"After selecting text on a page, the options "Search", "Search with..." and "Go to Address" should do their respective jobs in a New Tab, most preferably an Active Tab since the "Search with..." option won't work directly in a Background Tab unless it expands into the list of Search Engines on the Current Tab."
Just because you highlight one word to search its meaning at Dictionary.com doesn't mean you lose the Active Tab containing the whole subject!
1. If a person wants to open 10 Bookmarks in Opera Mini the only way for him to do so is to open the Bookmarks Menu 10 times, scroll to the desired Bookmark and select 1 Bookmark each time.
It would be a big relief if the Upcoming Version of Opera Mini allows users to open Bookmarks in a Background Tab without closing the Bookmarks Menu.
2. It becomes very difficult for users like me, who have scores of Saved Pages, to identify the desired Saved Page quickly.
I suggest that Opera Mini 7 should have the option to "Add Folder" inside the Saved Pages folder so that one can classify the Saved Pages and put them in appropriate folders.
3. When the length of the characters in Web Addresses or Search Queries exceeds the Screen Width the characters typed first become invisible.
It would be nice if Opera Mini switches to next line on typing extra characters so that the complete Web Address or Search Query is visible.
Thankyou

....just watched Click! on BBC (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programmes/click_online/#blq-main) and they highlighted that Chrome for mobile devices will allow for session and live tab syncing! Come on Opera, ye invented sessions and tabs, going to allow the upstart steal this on ye??

Also the scrolling pattern for java should be just like in mini 4 versions. on 6 i find mouse mode which is sticky and slow.

I agree with you. They should do that.
But in term of data savings, Mini still way better than UC.
P/S: Sadly, still no on-screen icon or option to use volume button or whatever way to quickly/easily change tab on Opera Mini.
1. Reduce as much 3D effects and special effects to reduce size and increase browsing speed and get rid of out of memory error.
2. Add download manager as uc browser.
3. Remove mouse mode or make it optional.
4. Enable animation .gif support.
5. Increase speed of browsing.
6. Give better javascript for using url upload in file sharing and hosting sites.
7. Don't make any browser like opera mini 7 next.
8. Fix blank page loading.
9. Give an user agent to make sites identify opera mini as desktop browser.
10. Make an option to call and sms when using opera mini.
11. Make opera mini light weight.
