Hey guys I live in california and have a Union bank of California account and I want to do online banking with Opera but it seems to not allow me to get to my next screen when I type my user name... the site is www.uboc.com is it because it doesn't use java? I can get on my WAMU account.. any fixes for this? Thanks
Well, it will be hard to find any fixes specific yo your bank homepage unless you provide your login details, so, that we can check the requirements for your bank access.
I do remember that my BoA was not accessable from any of my mobile handsets, even though they were listed as 'compatible'. My bank just did not allow my handsets to access the page for security reasons. It took me over 1 week to get their web developer department convinced that "MOBILE BANKING" does not make sense without actually allowing mobile devices to access it ... !
The symptoms were the same as you described above, just nothing happened when I tried to log in - in some rare cases I was bounced back to the mobile banking homepage again ...

Yeah, some banks websites wont let you login from a mobile phone due to "security reasons". Try the Skyfire beta though, as it let me login to my banks website when Opera and IE failed.

I have Skyfire beta which is an awesome browswer to watch porn I mean youtube haha j/p... but I read reviews and comments saying not to browse with skyfire because its beta and it can be viewed by people first... will Opera ever support java and be like skyfire later down the road?
I thought Opera had a feature that allows you to either have web pages you view; receive you as a PC, or as a mobile. But I can't find that option. Am I thinking about a different browser, or am I missing something.
Next, I would use Opera more, but it has the "auto" clear-type enabled, and that doesn't allow some of my web page data to be viewed. So, I use IE instead because I can disable the clear-type for IE in the Advance Config program.
Any ideas about these two issues. I would REALLY like to use Opera exclusively. I'm told that Skyfire is not safe, as they record your passwords and usernames for bank accounts, etc.

since skyfire can play embedded flash 8 (according to their site and demo video) is there a flash player 8 or higher avabile for free download? is flash lite 2.1 higher that flash8?
I thought they incorporated Silver Light inside skyfire instead of Adobe Flash.

from their newsletter tonight :
We were excited to launch the photo/video widget and add Silverlight support to Skyfire without a client upgrade. These additions gave our users the ability to watch any of the 2200+ hours of Olympic coverage provided by NBC.
As far as I know, skyfire uses both... I can watch all youtube/myspace videos AND watch streaming live MLB from MLB.tv I'm a VERY happy camper
Skyfire is a a server-side rendering browser. The reason that flash and all that works so good with Skyfire is because their desktop servers are viewing the pages and streaming a condensed version of it to your phone screen.
So no, there is no way (yet) that I know of to download Flash 8 nor Silverlight for the PPC.

I also enjoy knowing that they stream all my passwords, webmail, banking etc through their servers too.
I'm sure they're legit, but it still not quite kosher.

Hmmm. Hadn't realised that. Hadn't been taking much interest as we outside the USA have not been allowed to participate.
Do we assume they will be charging a hefty fee for this product/service when it comes out of beta?

Bingo. Which is why I rarely use Skyfire, only for occasional Youtube visits or if I really need to catch an engadget video or something. Opera 9.5 handles my browsing needs for the most part.
I will never use Skyfire for anything serious or any site that requires a password. I simply do not trust them...I mean, you put your password in a site, and the Skyfire servers have to enter (and store, as I'm sure they keep a log of all input information) that for you on the actual web page.
Not safe, gents. I'm sure they're totally legit, but why take a chance just to watch Youtube?
I read their privacy policy and I dont like it either, especially the part where it says promotional sms messages and they don't allow you to sign up without sending a sms.
no thanks,
What I don't like about logs like that is, no matter how well laid out the security policy is, and how great thier intentions are, there is still a chance the data will leak.
Recently an unknowing user sold a company laptop on ebay for 60 bucks. It had hundreds of thousands of social security numbers, account numbers, and answeres to user's secret questions.
This was a very large finacial firm, with a solid security policy and the best intentions of keeping user's information secure.
Too bad a non technical person got a laptop with some old info on it, and decided he should sell it for little to no money.
This does not include hackers and other nefarious people. Just because they want to keep our data secure, does not mean they are capable of doing so. They may not have the technical expertise to maintain a secure network, or they might not have enough money to purchase good equipment to help keep the bad out.
Humans work at companys, and some of them are assholes. End of story.
ok i kno they support flash like youtube, but i meant specifically flash games.
such as teagames.com and addictingames.com both of these get stuck saying i need flash player 8. im just a little confused.
Skyfire's privacy policy reveals some interesting things. Most notably that they claim to have access to all the sites that you visit using their browser. With that description, Skyfire might be closer to Deepfish, functioning more like a web preprocessor/cache than a full browser.

Have you used Opera Mini before? It does the same thing. They both use a proxy server/program on their end to load the page quickly, and send a compressed version to your phone so it loads quickly on your end.
Hey guys, I was wondering if there is an app that is a browser which automatically won't be detected.
Like at my school we aren't able to access sites such as youtube or facebook, is there an app which will automatically bypass those and still work normally?
Thanks!
Try opera browser it bypasses orange safeguard
I might be missing something, but can't you just use 3G instead of the schools wifi?
Or go via a proxy site?
or just use your time at school to learn something (joke)
When I was at university the, finaly, restrict access to certain sites (warez, p0rn and so on) I've just used a http proxy and it worked, but sure 3G will do the trick.

as ou see, the IM app seems to be very good. It has online intgration agenda and resource registration, but it seems that it only runs in verizon netowrk.
I did some research and it seems that this app trys to rise some HTTPS servers from google before to connect, however, these servers are unreachable from other network than verizon (i dont have verizon btw).
I was thinking at the beggining that problem was that google has recently changed their certificates, but after importing them into mobile, IM stil doesnt work.
Please help.
so are you making these assumptions based on urls you've trapped and if so, can you post them here?
Yes i like an integrated IM, stupid why it only works on VW network with us non VW/US early adopters.
I wonder what we can find in the deodexed impresence.apk and vzwim.apk files...

If you are referring to the HTTPS login attempts to the google login servers you may be misinterpreting GSF functionality vs Motorola IM.
I didnt get your answer. how ever, I paste my tcpdump capture. In this case i was trying to login into my AIM account, as you see (Im pretty sure there were not other apps trying to use internet cause i close all by hand usng task manager), for somereason application tries to reach a google server and after several IP tries it fails.
Ever since I have this phone, I have been unable to sign-in to open Wi-Fi services that require it (like in some fast-food chains for example).
Usually when you make use of seach a service you are directed to a sign-in page in your webbrowser, after which you enter some details and/or accept some conditions. However, whenever I am directed to such a page it will not load. I have tried this in multiple places, all resulting in the same error. The error tells me it couldn't connect to the server by the way, the same you get when you try to browse without having a connection. My default browser is FireFox, but I have also tried switching default to stock browser and chrome so the page would be opened there, and they garner the same result. Coincidentally I have been perfectly fine signing in on FireFox with a different device. I think this pretty much excludes the browser as the culprit, so it seems like a device problem. Possibly a setting somewhere?
In any case, if anyone has any ideas I'd love to hear them!
I had a similar issue, I realised that it was because I was using adguard DNS. Turned that off and it now works 100% of the time.
I'm having this problem with the WiFi at the gym. I don't have adguard either. Not sure what causes this. I'm also using Firefox, but I didn't have any problems with my HTC.
I usually find it's because most sites use https and the sign in pages are using http.
Try going to a site that still uses http, my site of choice, as it's easy to remember is:
http://neverssl.com

I did indeed have Blokada installed with adguard DNS enabled. But even uninstalling it didn't solve the issue for me. Thanks for the suggestion though!

Thanks for the suggestion! Just visisted a couple of http only sites, and they loaded just fine. So I suppose my issue is elsewhere.
Http://neverssl.com is useful for when you are trying to sign on to a wifi portal and need to go to a page that won't redirect to https and fail.
So I found a setting in the device settings for a DNS server. Switching it to 'automatic' allowed me to access the login site for the WiFi service, so yesterday I was able to use the connection. Unfortunately, after a device reboot, it failed to allow me to sign in again. Every time this happens, it tries to direct me to connectivitycheck.platform.hicloud.com and then fails to connect. Luckily due to my success earlier, I had the link to the sign-in page in my history and that allowed me to visit the sign-in page directly. Visiting neverssl did nothing for me in any of the cases, by the way. All in all I suppose it has something to do with the DNS settings of the device, even though changing them to the settings that worked for me before didn't do anything for me this time.
