Why have my splash screen, speed dials or search engines changed?

Occasionally you may notice some of your content has changed while using Opera Mini. This may include your splash screen, empty or default speed dials, search engines, and the links on the start page.

What happens to the Speed Dials I have set myself?

• These will always stay how you've set them. Opera Mini will never change a speed dial you have set or altered yourself.
• Empty speed dials, or the default speed dials that come pre-installed with Opera Mini can sometimes be changed. You can edit these yourself to avoid them being changed by Opera Mini.

What happens to my Opera Link speed dials, search engines and bookmarks?

• Your Opera Link content will always stay the same.

What happens to my search engines?

• The search engines you have defined yourself will always remain the same.

What happens to my bookmarks?

• Your bookmarks will always remain unchanged.

How do I turn off the links on the start page?

• You can turn off the links on the start page by going to Menu > Settings > Advanced > Start page links.

1. Surf to your favorite search engine.
2. Long click on the search field
3. choose "add search engine" (or something similar).

Why globe telecom get the annoying splash screen sponsored by smart on opera mini? Why you did not ask permission for changes or get us notified? Why you did not developed a separate build of opera mini for the smart network? Do you already know the 'sponsored by smart' splash screen is annoying? As posted by akai1987 -> http://i46.tinypic.com/5y5it5.jpg. The splash screen is annoying. It is better to revert the old opera mini only banner or make a separate build of opera mini for smart users.

Well, I haven't noticed something different.
Except, seems the form-not-submitting bug is all gone

Hi . sometimes when i synchronize Om5. the synchronization wheel just keeps spinnin. and only one speed Dial is loaded . even after there is a visual display of that particular speed Dial, the wheel just keeps spinning

Wait. So is it normal for Opera Link to erase everything and restore the default Speed Dials, Bookmarks, and Search Engines?

I've had to like reinstall Opera Mini 5 final three times already after Opera Link erased my stuff. -_-;;

there's still no answer WHY and what is the reason
answers are about "what happens" and means "users, don't worry, everything's under control"

it just opens the field to enter text for google search

DISABLE fullscreen editing and ENABLE Opera's keyboard.

Sorry for not mentioning. i would not use opera keyboard because of some problem with ma cell because its not having that big resolution

It happens because you didn't set those speed dials yourself, so they are still showing the content Opera has decided on. You can easily change that by adding custom speed dials.

Because it's their right to pay for ads.

Because this doesn't affect you at all.

Do you already know the 'sponsored by smart' splash screen is annoying?

No it isn't. It's irrelevant.

this is such a widespread bug that i expect there will be some kind of official announcement when it's properly fixed.

Originally posted by marianh:

• When synchronizing with Opera Link, your Opera Link speed dials should either add themselves in empty spaces, or overwrite the default speed dials, depending on how many speed dials you have on your link account.
• If you have created some speed dials in Mini 5 yourself (or edited the default ones), these should not be overwritten by your Link speed dials.
• After all of this is taken in to account, if you have more Link speed dials than there is space for in the Mini 5 speed dial, these will be moved to Mini 5 bookmarks.

Does this sound like what is happening to you, or is there something else going on we should be concerned about?

After further thought, I realize my problem may be more related to Mini 5 corrupting.

See I have a Sony Ericsson w580i. It's been mentioned in the past by other SE users that exiting Mini in any way other than Menu > Exit will damage Mini's internal files causing abnormalities or causing Mini to not run altogether.

My phone doesn't meet the RAM requirement that Opera Mini 5 wants, but I can still run Mini 5. However sometimes when I'm surfing the web and have to minimize Mini to the background and load up a different app, my phone may lock up forcing me to either kill Mini or reset my phone with Mini open in the background.

My problem would be solved if Mini had some kinda of protection against abnormal shut downs. But that's off-topic here.

This is a common issue for all phones with limited resources but that doesn't mean they aren't compatible with Opera Mini 5. It's advisable to use the phone without any humpty dumpty stuff in it like an animated theme (medium size) which uses more than one seventh of CPU power and heap size.

I am not asking you. I am asking opera mini team. As you see in my sentence, i am asking directly to the author of this thread or any official words from opera mini team. So just shut up for yourself. You have no right to answer my questions because you are not part of opera mini team.

Everyone can answer any question as long as it's put here in the forum. Behave, now.

Why you just keep ignoring my questions ? Globe Telecom Users get affected of the patch for Smart-Opera Mini partnership. The splash screen had been patch with smart logo and the speed dials pertaining also to smart network even i am on the Globe Network. As you said 'everyone could answer' but you just always 'ignore my questions'? You already read my questions but you just keep to ignore it. And the other topic was locked without any clarification from opera mini team. In my opinion, it is a technical issues that should be answered by an opera mini employee like you and not by other person who herein not working with opera. He answers the question that are not 'official', making the arguements stay longer just like on my previous topic. To end it here, you should not ignore it. I know you're being paid by smart to make your revenues and I am benifiting with your application for free, i am thankful for that cause it's free. I don't argue how do you make revenues. I just argue why did you patch it to it's rival network Globe Telecom, the smart logo and the smart speed dials.

Your questions have been answered. You just kept complaining about non-issues after that. How many times do you expect people to repeat the same thing?

Globe Telecom Users get affected of the patch for Smart-Opera Mini partnership.

No they don't. This has no actual impact on you whatsoever. You have failed to demonstrate any.

And the other topic was locked without any clarification from opera mini team.

Uh, no. The reason for closing the thread is clearly stated at the top. Also, having two threads about the exact same thing is quite useless.

I just argue why did you patch it to it's rival network Globe Telecom, the smart logo and the smart speed dials.

You are arguing pointlessly because you have failed to demonstrate any real effect whatsoever.

You already got your answers. Now you are just repeating yourself.

You are not opera employee. So, I don't recognize your answers as official. I repeat my questions because up to this moment, opera mini team has no direct explanation about this matter. The reasoning of your answer is not the real answer to my questions. All i want is direct to the point. You're answering for different reasons. You just using diversionary answers to get off me on the topic. I ask why globe telecom get the splash screen of smart and it's speed dials? Did i get the correct answers? You are answering for different reasons and not answering my question directly. All of your answers were not direct to my questions. Don't divert my question and making answers indifferent to my question. All i want is clarification and direct to the point.

Is there an echo in here?

You see mr. jkreuz, upon reading Opera Mini EULA, under Section 4.3, at the first sentence, you yourself already got the answer of your own question. Opera Mini team, doesnt need to explain to you that bec upon hitting 'agree' after installation, you are aware that you will be bounded by these rules. And thus complaining with no proper proof will lead to you on epic fail.

Have you read the EULA? Here's the link www.opera.com/eula/mini/

Yes I agree with the modification of Services. . But the network where i belong to? They didn't agree right? So, the eula you are saying is obsolete, the ejected the smart splash screen and speed dials without any permission to the rival network globe telecom. . As a user I agree with the eula but the telecom where am i connected they don't ask permission. So you are the one making your own epic fail. About evidences, do you see other people complaining in other topic of mine that has been closed? Are you blind?
I agreed with the section 4.3 but there where no rules if the network where the user is 'connected to' agrees the modification unlikely the splash screen of the rival network showing to Globe Telecom. The eula has no rules regarding that issue so the rule of 4.3 is useless. Because they modified opera mini without asking approval to the Globe Telecom whether to allow or prohibit the Splash Screen of Smart and Smart Speed Dials. 4.3 talks about the user but what about the network. Do you think this is fair?

U're out of your mind. Politely speaking. The opera mini you used is sponsored by Smart, so it's written on the splash screen. Design and look of the splash screen do not and never depend on what network you use to run it, maybe globe or any other. Ask Globe to sponsor it too, and you can use a Globe splash screen opera mini, simple.
But the main funny part is...how does that affect you?!
-is smart-splash screen slower?
-is it harmful to the eye?
-Globe network charges you double if u use smart-splash screen?!
L-O-L
come on, man, argue something useful and sensible.

Plus...if you want a normal version, and avoid seeing the smart splash screen, download normal version...very simple again.

Plus... About the smart-linked speed dials, oh.. That too! You can change them again...quite simple again..
My opera mini always comes with pre-installed railway speeddial link, which i promptly changed cos i have never even been inside a train!

huh? I've downloaded a normal version @ m.opera.com. Do you know what after installing? It will become opera mini optimized for smart.

You don't get my point the thing here was i am globe network. So it is unfair the smart splash screen has been shown up to the Opera Mini Users under Globe Telecom. . You are the one out of your mind. As a Globe Telecom i've downloaded my opera mini @ m.opera.com but why i get those stuff? Don't divert the issues out of the topic.

my answers were based on the assumption that you are a customer, cos you didn't mention clearly that you are official member of globe. In that case, u did the right thing complaining here, but i feared opera and smart have done nothing wrong too. However, that's not my business anymore.. Sorry for the misinterpretation. Good luck on your rivalry with smart
