Blackberry Storm 9550 Opera Mini 5 issues

Hello,

I am having problems with my blackberry storm 2 9550 running OS 5.0.0.607. Whenever I input in google search or within a webpage the screen will not go back to the way it is supposed to and it leaves only a small area for viewing. I would appreciate some help because opera is my main browser and it is quite a reoccurring issue.

Thank You,
Justin

I also wanted to point out that I did in fact report this bug as well.

Thanks

Confirmed, more info:

While using a text-entry field while the Storm is in vertical alignment, the keyboard pops up and the Opera display area shrinks accordingly. This leaves less than half of the screen available for web page content. When dismissing the keyboard, the Opera display area fails to return to full-size. Rotating the device to horizontal correctly causes the screen to rotate, resulting in a complete redraw which clears the issue. The Storm can be rotated back vertically with no problem.

Further, while the issue is 100% repeatable when using vertically, it only sometimes happens when using horizontally.

This is Opera Mini 5.0.18832 on a Storm 2 9550.

I appreciate the response but I already
realized that. I just wish there was an easier fix. It just seems like an odd nuisance to have to continue turning my device to keep the screen fully usable. Do you know if this is something that they will be fixing in the near future?

Thanks,
Justin

I would love to know when a fix for this bug is done. This problem has forced me to quit using this browser and I'm so bummed about it and extremely annoyed by it.

Oh and if this helps at all, it only began happening after BlackBerry's most recent software update.

I completely agree. I have made do with it but I definitely consider down grading to an older OS. I think the BB browser is unusable for most sites, maybe other then mobile sites and I rely very much on Opera. So I hope they take care of it because the new OS is really quick but I might be making a change.

SO please Opera, if you can fix it, that would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Justin

To everyone that is still experiencing this issue with the Storm 2 9550, I have a solution. Just downgrade to version 5.0.0.517. It is a leaked version but I have been running it for a few day now and its really the best of both worlds. It provides the opera use of build .320 and the speed and improved keyboard of .609. It is a really solid OS and to date, I don't really have any complaints.

Here is the link for the download from BlackBerryOS: http://www.blackberryos.com/forums/downloads.php?do=file&id=281
**Just follow the links from there but remember to delete .609 before trying the install and I used BBSAK to put on .517.

Hope this helps!

Just want to re-echo the same problem was not fixed with the new "silent" upgrade to Opera mini on BB. I am using opera mini 5.0.19692 on Storm 2 v.5.0.0.607.

Hope a bug fix comes out soon. Please keep in mind BB OS 6 is due soon and any fixes should work on that as well.

Thanks

I am using v5.0.0.713 and need that version because of corrections to voice dialing. And I have the same issue described here.

Any update on this ? Can any opera team member confirm?

12. July 2010, 10:51:51

I have this issue with the keyboard as well on the 9520: just to confirm, it's definitely related to the .713 os as I only upgraded yesterday and noticed the problem straightaway. Is there an ETA on a fix yet? As much as I love opera mini, I don't think it's realistic to downgrade and sacrifice all the improvements that .713 has brought.

I have a Storm2 9550 w/ .713 and don't understand why this issue hasn't been fixed. It's annoying beyond measure. This issue coupled with RIM's abandoning of the Storm2 (no OS6 upgrade) have led me right to Apple's front door.
