Standard Opera on Xperia

Does anyone know how to change the standard opera to make it view regular size webpages instead of only viewing mobile pages. I know there is a setting in settings but apparently that isn't making a difference. Has anyone else experienced this?

He is right. Go to a site like IPChicken.com and look at the Browser string under the 'Advanced' section and you'll see what Opera is reporting to each site you visit. Opera has a way to 'spoof' the User Agent to be like Firefox or IE 6 for example. Type in: about:config in the address bar, and scroll all the way down to User Agent and try 2 and 3 (Firefox & IE, respectively).

Hi
I don't have a problem with that, Always shows the "real" homepage, even youtube after installing the flash lite

hmm really?? everytime i go to youtube it takes me to m.youtube.com. Shoot even google goes to the mobile webpage. i wonder if i need to install flashlite to correct this? That doesn't make any sense though.

Try installing flashlite and see if its get any better =)

Didn't do a thing. When i got to youtube it takes me to m.youtube.com am i the only one with this problem?

Have you clicked on the link at the bottom which takes you to the full site and stores a cookie on your phone telling YouTube to send you to the full version next time?

Trying that as we speak

Yup just tried it and it works for youtube but other websites it doesn't. Like when i go to myspace and i click on view full desktop page it doesn't do anything besides go right back to the page i started at. I'm not sure what is going but it seems like maybe their are two different opera builds on these xperias. I wonder if that is possible
EDIT
I think it is the website i'm going to. Some just have errors i think. Has anyone tried to use orb.com? I can get it stream perfectly with IE but with Opera it tries to open it and it just crashes.

Orb works ok on opera for me as long as i can get a 3g signal

Everytime i try and use orb on opera it just crashes and closes. Did it work for you straight out of the box?

Since this thread is labelled in a general fashion, I'm not gonna open a new thread for my question, which is:
anybody managed to upgrade to a more recent Opera build?
The ones available work as in being able to browse the web, but they are buggy regarding keyboard input for example.

I upgraded to a newer version and it was extremely buggy. It crashed on me a couple of times. I like this one designed for the xperia. I don't like xperia's standard settings but after u change the settings its cool

One of the nice features of the touch pro was that the back button in opera was mapped to a hardware button. Is it possible to do this with the Xperia?

Yes straight out the box

I still have an issue. I can get it to stream but its really laggy through opera unless i use this pls winamp format but then i get errors here and there. I run it through IE and it streams perfectly. I've spent about 2 hrs going through the settings trying to find the cause of it but i can't seem to find it. When you use orb what format are u streaming in and what player are u using?

Windows media format (.asx)
and windows media player on the phone

hmmm i don't know why my video lags so much even on wifi. Audio comes in perfect whatever video i play is horrible unless i use IE. Anyone have any ideas what could cause this?

Could the orb be playing up, I just tried on wifi on both opera and ie and only managed to get streaming work once out of a few attempts. Kept getting server is busy.

How can I reinstall the SE Opera version? Where's the cab at? I managed to bugger up my version and now it won't load

Do a hard reset

Opera Mini 5 beta

Have you tried Opera Mini 5 yet? I'm liking it on my TP
http://www.opera.com/mini/next/download/

it's gorgeous. it's actually laughable that other than somes issues with switching between landscape and portrait it's a better browser than opera mobile.

You need to copy the jad and the jar file to a folder on your storage card. Open Java from your programs menu. Tap menu/install/local files. Opera mini 5 beta should appear in the window. Highlight it and tap launch. Enjoy!

Im loving it too. Preferred browser of choice on every WM device of mine. But because higher res in TP, the font looks small even with the largest font setting turned on.

By far my best browser (first try).
Question. Can we get rid of these two questions at the beggining?

Sure can, just download the "signed" version of Opera Mini. In the download page, choose "other download" and pick "signed version" (or something like that). It will be downloaded like any other and after installed, ask about connection, at this part, choose "always".

can it be set as default browser?...

So I suppose this is all about beta version 5 I got. "Signed" version is still 4.2.
Thanks @u2pop.

Interesting comments, maybe Ill try it one more time. Just a month ago I felt it was offering nothing over mobile 9.5

i cant seem to make it finger friendly, its really hard to click or double click stuff with my finger, i have to try to pin point with my nail or either have to pull out the stylus, is there a setting to change this?

I think all you can do is set the font to "large", in that way you can see the link more easily.

Can you minimize this and do something else, like respond to a text or make a phone call without it popping up 5 seconds after being minimized?

Unsigned version without double confirmation for data usage
Yes that's Opera 5 mini latest beta (solid BTW) not 4.2.
Just install the cab, works like a champ.

anyone notice that you cannot scroll through web pages using the d-pad? I am a diehard opera mini user and had to uninstall for that reason

Yea I noticed that too, hope its only for beta. You guys know how to save bookmark collection? On previous release theres option to save all of your bookmark online. Now i need to manually set.

Quick ? re: Browsers and keyboard

First, I'm using Dolphin HD for my browser....one thing I hate is having to retype my user/pass for any forum I visit. Is it possible to get around this?
Second...has anyone gotten something like Swype or any other keyboard app to work? Would like to try something other than the default one...
Thanks!

Anyone? I've made sure cookies are in use with Dolphin, but it seems I always have to type my user/pass for forums.

Full vs Mobile

Is there a setting that I am missing in order to keep getting the full website vs mobile. I know on some websites you have the option of clicking it there to change it. But not all of them have this option. Thanx.

Which browser?

The stock one. Thanx

Press on menu button, settings, scroll down to UAS string choose the preference you want.
If stock browser isnt giving you the experience you need try skyfire or dolphin browsers.

Scrolling in Browser

Hi,
is there a way to get the browser to scroll easier vertical than horizontal? My old HTC desire did that. So you weren't strolling to the left and right all the time when you just want to go down to read an article.

I dont think its possible in the stock browser, in Opera ther is an option to enable/disable Pan Scrolling, but for me at least doesn't seem any difference if its on or not.

Where is the setting to enable/disable pan browsing in opera? I can't seem to find it..I assume is opera mobile right?
Thanks.
Edit: plse disregard..I think I found it, I simply enable single colum view. Now its perfect. Even in desktop mode I only have to scrool vertical. Funny I did not realise about this before.
