*sigh* I got excited when this update said it addressed the lag and freezing, whilst loading URL's.

It now freezes more, and lags more. So in my eyes, you've made the issue worse, and not improved upon it :-(

I literally can't start scrolling down until it *has* finished loading the URL :-(

it's so bad, I can't even be asked, to see if you've fixed the other issues, that I submitted reports on.

so thanks for the effort, anyways, but you've made it worse not better - sorry.

The comments in the google play shop (yes I know, sounds rubbish - android market is what i'll always call it in my head LOL) aren't too kind either.

so it's back to 11.5 for me.

if anyone else wants old version, then click on my older posts.

*NOT* a good release.

i'll try a clean install, but we'll see if that has any effect.

i've got it installed to phone internal memory, and not sdcard.

update:

just did a clean install, and to my surprise, it's fixed the problem :-)

I just tried to scroll while the URL was still loading, and there was no freezing or lag.

so if anyone else finds the update not improved, then uninstall, and download again. Even the skeptic in me is now happy.

Also i've noticed that the bug I reported for http://mobile.twitter.com/session/new crashing Opera Mobile, has been fixed too :-)

so, for *me* the issues i've had are fixed.

I did have smooth scrolling enabled via opera:config before, so maybe there is a issue there. Unless the clean install cleaned up the lib files. Perhaps they didn't update correctly?

Anyways, I'm happy now. I'll stick to opera mobile 12.1 now

Thank you opera devs! you deserve a drink LOL

Thanks for the update! Some the of the issues have been fixed. Speed is still not quite up to same level as 11.5.3 (under ICS anyway), but it's nice to know you guys are working on it.

I was excited about this update but it actually didn't change anything on Android Honeycomb 3.2.1. There is still big lag while loading pages. Scrolling is very choppy. I still can not open bookmarks which are auto imported from stock browser.

I got almost 400MB free RAM and Opera 12.0.1 is still loosing all my current work after buying it to background. Every single tab is reloaded , everything I write, every single login. Did U guys removed multitasking compatibility or something ? It is absolutely not a Android problem. Two reasons : version 11 didn't do that and with 400MB free RAM Android is not shutting down background aps.

The new Opera Mini 7 runs super smooth (scrolling, panning, zooming), even faster than Opera 11.5.3. It'd be great if the next update of Opera Mobile was as smooth.

What have you done to the smooth scrolling we had in the last versions!? Opera mobile was the browser on Android that had the highest FPS on page scrolling, but not anymore! It seems like the FPS is cut by half now,and the page stutters badly while scrolling. Not a good experience! How could this pass QA?

I have tried it on galaxy nexus and galaxy tab 7.7.

Opera 12 is the most poor user experience ever!

why in the world do you think waiting for loading a previous opened webpage is what the majority of users like to do when starting opera???? i don't get it!!

Has Mobile 12.0 been fixed to work with Android 4.0? I have a motorola photon with CM9 which is an ICS based ROM and I cannot get 12.0 to launch. It force closes immediately upon launching. 11.5 works fine. Mini works fine. I really liked the more customizable start page, ability to add extra speed dial links, etc. I will use 11.5.3 for now but the pressure to use dolphin or other browsers is getting worse. Thanks for any info you can provide.

I see it happens on gingerbread also. On two devices with ICS (phone and tablet) it also just crashes with video. Just try any engadget.com article with video. It also crashes opening flash settings or the about flash website.

I looked through my posts and apparently at the end of february it worked.
So the 12.0.1 update or the two lastest flash versions made it crash again. Just have to disable flash since it also crashes sometimes with the grey play button.
