Thread: Opera mini won't work right on my Storm.

Since this tip will help out a bunch of fellow BB users, does this mean that my Rep Power will go up? Not sure how that works.

Apparently :lmao:

sezaro21 is the man. Some less worthy but still important opera mini tips:

* Turn "auto complete address input" off. Fixes compatibility issue on storm and you get more options like show current address, copy paste.

* On the start page, under the address bar is a customizable list of search engines. Don't rotate your phone while using this feature or the search will not execute.

* If you can't reach a link on a page for some reason, use the landscape U N H K keys to move the cursor.

* If an image doesn't load, or it loaded a tiny version that you can't make out, hold your finger on it and try "open image" from the pop up menu. If that didn't help, scroll to bottom of image, tap Open, and in bb browser hit menu>full image.

* The scrollbar is active. You may tap it to pgup pgdn and drag it to scroll anywhere.

* You can get rid of the title bar. Open the keyboard and hit ** to do this.

* You can disable the page zoom-out feature. Turn off "show overview" in settings. pages will always load at normal zoom.

* Enter opera:config as an address to access more options. I recommend disabling "fold link lists" and "phone number detection."

Unfortunately, turning on the Firewall does have some side effects on other applications, e.g. MeterBerry (and probably QuickPull) will no longer reset the Storm. I am sure there are other applications that will not work fully until you figure out which Firewall setting to change to Prompt and do all of the check boxes.http://www.blackberryos.com/forums/i...cons/icon9.gif

Thanks phred, the Firewall did freak some of my apps out, especially MB.
