as we know the default browser is opera mobile 8.65?
I installed the 9.7beta of opera, it set its self as default, but I prefer the way 8.65 deals with downloaded cabs.
So I unticked the default box.
but now IE is the default when opening links in outlook and my twitter client.
There is no "make opera default" on 8.65
how do I get it back to default?

Opera Mobile 8.6 is my default browser, but when I click on a URL in an email the link is opening in Pocket Internet Explorer.
I did fix this once before, many months ago, but the change seems to have reverted itself.
I think it was a registry change. Can anyone remind me how to do it?
Thanks.
use gsfinder,set html and htm file associations to open with opera or try letting opera be default browser however if you stream video it wont work since opera might be set to default browser
Strange. I made the change using Advanced Config and it didn't work for me. The HTM and HTML file extension weren't set to IE previously and email links were opening up with IE. Now, I've set the associations to Opera and the links are opening up with IE.
Does anybody know where the associations for opening up a browser out of an email is actually set or possibly what I'm doing wrong?
Aready solved

anybody know?
No idea mate, I use opera on desktop too, so I'd love to know this. The mobile favourites option on WMDC and Activesync only adds a folder to Internet Explorer not Opera

It would be stupid if I need to write a small software to convert the bookmark of OPERA to PIE's Favorites just to get it sync with the desktop

I was about to suggest wroting your own software.
I prefer not syncing favourites anyway, because if I did my phone would have far too many...
Opera6.adr file containing bookmarks is compatible with the PC version - same structure.
So you can just simply copy this file from your PC-Opera to WM-Opera and vice versa.
dont you just copy the opera6.adr file from your pc to \windows\opera9?
I searched earlier, and found opera link. Kinda a server-side sync app, where with the new beta, on desktop, 9.5, you can sync, its called opera link. Do'nt know how it sync's to mobile though
Rory
Although, opera mobile 9.5 can sync with OPERA desktop 9.5, but I don't use OPERA desktop. So I don't benefit from it.
Yes, we can manually copy the bookmark file from the phone to the PC but that lost the meaning of syncing, right? We need something more automatically.
I havent tried this with Opera Mobile, but it worked with Opera Mini. I used Opera Link (as mentioned above) to sync bookmarks. Yes, if you use Opera Desktop, then it would help sync. But you don't need to use Opera Desktop to use Opera Link. You can sign into my.opera.com, and set up your book marks there, then use Opera Link to download them to your phone. Much easier than typing them on the phone directly...
I am using EasySync, it solved my need of auto backup the bookmark to the desktop.
hi,
I want to copy my IE favorites on the opera 9.5 favorites on my diamond because it doesn't synchronize automatically the favorites on opera ????
Thanks for your answers.
Regards.
opera mobile use the same bookmarks format as opera browser on pc
so if you use it there you can use the free ms program called synctoy to
sync opera with opera mobile
otherwise i guess it's required that iexplore or pie can export to opera's xml format
or that opera mobile can import from pie or ie's format
the favorites are stored in the file opera6.adr (in the windows\opera9 map). you can replace that file with your own.
When I synchronize my diamond FR, the favorites IE is synchronise but not with opera ?
Can I find a solution for that : is it normal ?
Unfortunately it's normal. The only way I've found to do it with opera mini is download opera on pc and sync across - can't get it to work on mobile 9.5.
So I opened that file mentioned above in text editor and pasted them all in there in the obvious format.
Doing this you can also dictate the position you want them to be in on the browser front screen in TF3D but not in the browser bookmarks folder as they always show in alphabetical order in there.
I can't sign in to Google account using Opera 9.5, but IE6 has no problem.
So I opened this file:
\Windows\Opera9\opera.ini
And modified this line to be:
Custom User-Agent=Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows CE; IEMobile 6.12) PPC; 480x640; HTC_P3700/1.0 Profile/MIDP-2.0 Configuration/CLDC-1.1
Now I can use my Gmail & PicasaWeb with Opera 9.5
I have to wait until Google fixed their code to support Opera 9.5 in normal mode.
Just want to share with yours.
PS. Sorry about my english. ;-)
Well done getting it going.
For Gmail I reckon it is far easier to just use the Diamonds inbuilt WM6.1 email client. Simply setup an email account with imap.gmail.com as the incoming server and acc type IMAP4. Set outgoing server to smtp.gmail.com. And then the phone will check your emails at whatever interval you want without having to deal with the Browsers at all. Oh I seem to recall you also have to enable IMAP access to your GMail from your Google account before you can access it from an email client.
Personal preference I know - but I find the email easier to handle in the email client as against a browser on such a small screen.
Did you have this exact problem?
I used Total Commander to look at the ini file, but changed it to the way you have it means i have to almost completely rewrite that line... since the line in my file is short, it only mentions opera and htc p3700. Before I do change it, can you tell me what the changes mean?
It's Browser's User Agent changing.
Opera 9.5 reports as it's a full-featured browser running on PC. (Can't remember that it reports as Windows XP or not).
Then Google knows, and send some special scripts which Opera 9.5 doesn't support.
So I modified its User Agent to report that it's just a browser running on Pocket PC. (Modified from my P3300)
Then Google will send just simple scripts, like it does to other Pocket PCs and Mobile IE.
I'll try to remove Custom User-Agent and sign in to Google later.
EDIT: After Custom User-Agent was removed, Google works!!!
Original Opera reports as "Opera/9.5 (Microsoft Windows; PPC; Opera Mobi/1938; U; en)"
But I think the one on my first post is better because it can reports that it's running on HTC Touch Diamond.
Or you can use this Custom User-Agent:
Opera/9.5 (Microsoft Windows; PPC; Opera Mobi/1938; U; en) PPC; 480x640; HTC_P3700/1.0 Profile/MIDP-2.0 Configuration/CLDC-1.1
Google Map maps ( http://www.google.com/gmm ) recognizes as it's running on HTC Touch Diamond.
Wow, thanks SuperToy_nc. This Opera glitch has been bugging me for long (I only check my gmail on web).

Hi,
although I've already set Opera as default browser in the registry, the homepages of my contacts are still opened in internet explorer (same with links in google maps).
Any idea how to make ALL homepages open in Opera?
Thanks, Herr_Knigge
ps: I did search, but the registry tweak to set Opera as default didn't solve the problem... and that's all I found!
