Can someone explain what is going on with images in Opera 9.5?
In 8.65 images were downloaded in native format: zoom in and you could see all the detail; download and you would have the original image in all its glory.
In Opera 9.5 all I get is blocky, condensed images: zoom in and all I see is a mass of coloured blocks with no detail; downloading images is useless.
The worst part of this is that I can't read the xda forum properly (I can't decipher images posted of rom benchmarks and the like.)
Why is this, and how can it be corrected?
First off.. you couldn't have posted in the opera 9.5 thread?
anyways, are u using the latest build? i was browsing xda-devs for a good hour last night before going to bed with opera 9.5 and it worked flawlessly.. the word wrap feature made reading through posts a breeze!
what internet connection are u on and how many other apps do you have open?
I did originally post this in an Opera thread but it just got lost amongst the general exitement, without receiving any response. I am grateful that you have taken the time to look at it.
Don't get me wrong; this is an excellent app port. It runs very smoothly and is great to look at. Kudos to the devs.
I just assumed that there must be something in the settings that controls the rendering of images, as i get images that have greatly reduced detail downloaded. This happens regardless of my connection type and available system resources.
Maybe its a quirk of the Presto system. Does no-one else experience this? (it is not immediately apparent only shows up when you either 'save as' an image or when you zoom right in.
i too get this problem.
when first installing the app all pictures seem fine.
after using it a few times, id say maybe five or six or maybe after a soft reset that this starts happening.
I too have noticed that Opera does some kind of image processing that degrades the image quality. Even when I go directly to the image URL I often can't zoom to a true 100percent. On some occasions images are completely pixelated and undecipherable. Not all the images on a page will degrade the same amount, either. This is one of my pet peeves about the new Opera, I hope it is a bug and we find a fix in the near future.
Am I the only one with this? I tried searching for a solution but no luck so far...
When I am browsing websites with the Opera browser (_every_ version I tested so far) after some time the page doesn't get displayed entirely anymore and the missing parts simply remain black. This ends up in the entire website view becoming black.
To me this looks a lot like a memory issue. Anyone else having this kind of problem?
Cheers,
Alex
You're not alone. I have the same Issue but I mentioned it at only one site. Maybe Opera has some problems with some plugins on that sites.
Having the same problem here, but so far it happened only on the accuweather site... not that i'm browsing very often but that site is the only one that caused the same problem... no idea why though

Yes, I have the same problem with the Accuweather site. I haven't seen it on any other sites, yet.
i had the same problem today on the bbc website.
I think it might be an issue with frames. There are scrollbars on the bottom of the visible part of the website but only for a second or so while the site renders. They disappear after opera is finished rendering the site. A site that does this is www.studivz.de (very popular social networking site in germany) but only when logged in. Another problem I have is that some sites (php) I can only scroll the site halfway after I zoomed in. After zooming out, the problem is still there however.
I second that with StudiVZ...
As for PHP I don't believe that's the relevant factor - since that only determines the HTML generation - not the resulting HTML code sent to the browser afterwards. So what I am saying is that you most likely could reproduce the same problem with _any_ language by simply sending the same HTML...

Good news everyone...
I just tried out Build 1938 of Opera 9.5 and did not encounter the "black holes" anymore.
I used the "upgrade" version from the thread below. Rename the files in /windows/ otherwise they can't be overwritten. Then copy the files from the downloaded .zip file:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2321466&postcount=1
Only tried studivz.net hope this fixes other sites, too.
Unfortunately this build doesn`t change any think in black hole ... if you want to see just go to www.onet.pl
Unfortunately it doesn`t change anything in "Black Hole" :/ Try www.onet.pl still a lot of black holes on my device :/

I hate to disappoint you but I tried the website, zoomed, panned etc. around a couple of times and encountered no black holes. I am using dutty's 1.6 ROM. Are you sure, you installed the upgrade correctly? In Opera look under help->about opera->(scroll up) if it displays Build 1938. Also remember to soft reset the phone after the upgrade.
regards.
I can confirm that build 1938 solved all my black hole problems, too.
i`m using oryginal 1.93 ROM not cooked maybe this is problem ? Did you upgraded or instal again ?
Updated: Hmmm strange now it works ;D But i have a question to U ... Do you know how to delete these old files ? that i`ve changed the name ... because windows says you cannot delete these files but one of them is 6 Mb so you know that is a lot of free space

Hi. I deleted the files using file explorer running on the diamond itself, not with pc through usb. If this does not work, try using a different file explorer like total commander (free) or resco explorer (trial and buy but much better).

Opera dying
Hi guys,
I flashed my Diamond with Swiftblade's latest which had the new version of Opera on it. But whenever I visit any site such as ebay, natwest or paypal and click on a button, opera dies. It worked fine on IE before I upgraded.
Just wondered if anyone has had a similar problem or knows a fix?!
Can't use the browser at all for now and I don't want to go back to the original ugly T-mobile ROM
Cheers guys!
I've searched and read (and read and read) but haven't found a solution to this. Maybe I've missed it. If so, please point me in the right direction.
I upgraded my new Tilt with Dutty's Diamond V1 (WM6.1) ROM. It has a new camera (v 5.04, build 29195) installed. When running, I can take pictures just fine. However, when I click on the right-pointing arrow in the lower-left corner, it's supposed to link me over to the photo album but all I get is a black screen. At this point, I can press on the "windows" button and launch Today where I can see that the album has launched and is running, but when I select it, I only see a black screen.
Is there a fix for this?
i got the same issue
your camera works fine? where are the photos saving to?
The camera works fine. I can save the pictures to either the device or the storage card - both work.
Some pix
Just so it's clear, I'm posting a couple of pictures. I used MyMobiler to capture the screens which, unfortunately, does not capture the camera image in the first frame.
The first frame shows the screen (sans what my camera was seeing). The red circle highlights the "Album" button.
When pressed, I get what you see in the second - nothing but black. The phone's not locked up, however. It's just not displaying anything. No album - nothing.
And finally, in the third screen, you see that both Camera and Album are running. Album was launched, apparently, by the screen tap in the Camera application but doesn't seem to quite get it right when launched this way.
Ideas?
so you have a black screen when using camera, but it still takes pictures, if that is the case try another radio.

its not a radio problem. i think it has something to do with a broken album link in the camera application. im looking for a solution as well, as i am having the exact same problem on my own cooked rom

No. I don't have a black screen when using the camera. I see things just fine when using the camera. Works just like you'd expect. What you're seeing above in the first pic is an artifact of the screen capture program.
The anomalous behavior begins when trying to launch the album from inside the camera application. That's when the screen goes black.
My initial thinking was as mbarvian has floated - a bad link or some bad parameter passed from inside the camera app. I was hoping that this could be fixed with a registry edit, actually, but couldn't find a registry key that offered promise.
(BTW, I tried re-flashing the ROM but that didn't fix the problem. Just another data point to consider.)
So, nobody has a solution? Are others seeing this or just the two of us who have posted? I guess it's just something we live with until the day it's fixed?
Same problem same ROM...
when i had windows 6.0 i went on the htc website and downloaded 3 hot fixes for my phone ,then when i updated to the orange 6.1 version of win mobile i had the same problem as you ,( black screen on camera ) anyway i uninstalled the hot fixes ( they are not required on 6.1 version ) camera is now ok
Also, same problem... same rom.

Yours may be slightly different than mine. I don't really get a black screen on the camera - only when I launch the album viewer from inside the camera application.
The "same issue - same ROM" responses at least give me a measure of affirmation that there is a known unresolved issue. For now, I'll just manually launch the album from the launcher where it seems to work, and avoid using the call from the camera app.
maybe using advanced config. and making sure the photos are saving to My Pictures might help

Set to that by default already. Tried swapping it to DCIM just to see what happened but that didn't work either.
camer w/black screen
after upgrading tilt to wm 6.1, my camera takes photos, but the screen is black, no preview, until AFTER taking the photo, then it appears briefly. is there a CAB fix for this. please help
I think it may have something to do with the version of the camera fix. I noticed the problem this weekend after updating to the ATT Official 6.1 ROM. Installed a newer version of Nadavi HTC Camera and when i went into the camera all I can see was a black screen. I'm using 5_0_4_2915 which seems to have corrected the problem for me.
where can i get this version that you tried? i am having the same problem
Hey guys, I get a few different emails that have pictures with surrounding text. And since i've upgraded from WM 6.0 to 6.1 for some reason the pics are so small that i can't read the text that is on them. Is there anyway to enlarge the pics at all or zoom into them? I searched and saw someone refer to scrolling, that didn't work. And as far as changing the text size, well that changes the text size AROUND the pics, but not the pic itself.
anyone got any insight? i've started to notice that with lots of my emails when i download the pics they are all scaled down in size which is making them blurry and illegible
ok, i tried changing roms, changing from imap4 to pop and nothing is working. and its not just the dilbert daily email i receive, its all emails with pics in them. all images are blurry, and im' not sure whats up with it. does ANYONE have any idea how to fix blurry images. tried looking under gmail support for pop/imap4 and didn't find a thing.
Emails with embedded images will have them resized whatever you do, short of switching to using another mail application. If the images are attachments then clicking on them will bring up the image viewer and it will be fine.

the reason I've been concerned about it is I used to have the emails open up just fine when I first got my phone and set up email with the q-mobile 1.2 ROM. I dunno if the ROM somehow effected it, but I was always able to read the images in the emails. as soon as I went to 6.1 I lost it. tried 6.1 w/out the bloaatware, duttya 6.1, and not a treo fans manilla 2d now. but if email is always "supposed" to be like this I guessi have to settle then

I also faced this issue with the daily dilbert mails. no i do the below and it works fine.
First click on download internet pictures. Dont click on tab to scroll right now. Let it download the pictues, and then click the tab to scroll right link and you can see the comic is a bigger size. hope this helps

ok ill give that a shot tomorrow when I get their next email, hopefully it works
i dont know the hell is going on with my phone, but after a while it went back to display the images properly, now its back to showing them improperly. And i just figured out whats wrong with it. Its not that its not downloading the pictures appropriately, its that when i click the "tap to scroll" it doesn't "unwrap" the images all the way. for example, at the top of the email there is actually a long picture selction bar that says "home-->most popular-->strips-->animation->mashups->blog" in my desktop email these are all in line with one another. but for some reason why i click tap to scroll, blog appears on a second line.
anyone know whhat could be stopping the images from fully "unwrapping"?
Hey, can anyone tell me how to use a picture as the background for the Windows Mobile Today panel WITHOUT having the picture washed out. I would like to use a full color image, not have it lightened up.
I too am in the same boat.
I got a custom ROM, and when I asked about the background, ppl here said to use the "picture viewer" to select a picture, and then adjust the settings.
problem is, my rom has the program HTC album, instead of the original viewer, so I can't do it...
Having different viewer can screw this.
Anyway when you go to default viewer, just open image
and choose it for WM background.
There you have also trnsparency sett.
Download another viewer, like Resco Photo Viewer Pro.
or you download the themecreator from the sonyericsson site for free
and you can make not only the picture but also the startmenu and all the other stuff.

the ROM I'm using doesn't seem to have the default viewer installed... And it's a highly customized ROM that someone sent me, country specific... so I cant use any other one...
