[Q] Opera Mobile slow start and google images

Recently my Opera Mobile has been dragging at start up. I cleaned up my cookies, cached, history and still slow. Anybody know why?
Also, try searching any image on google images and the browser goes crazy.

Turn off use http and use https in the proxy settings by opening opera:config
Cured most if not all the weird browsing errors for me.

I am sorry, I've had the phone for almost a week now and still dont know everything about it. How do I get there? Thanks.

in the url type opera:config erase the http://www.

Thanks, I checked that, and it seems to be working fine now.

What is the most efficient android browser out there?

First off im running haykuro 5.0.2Hr5-A2SD
Im really getting annoyed with the constant lag of the browser. When i search, my keystrokes show up 2 seconds after ive typed them, the browser seems to load slower than rc33 jf root version, i have the cache and app thumbnails linked to my sd card, text messages cleared, gmail cleared, sd card nowhere near full, class4 4gb card. Is there a browser.apk that i can adb push in place of this one? Also what do i have to do to get EVERY website to display in pc mode? because even with the bestbrowser.apk i still would go to some sites like walmart and im being directed to walmart iphone beta. Anyone else experiencing browser lagging?

One thing that really annoys me is when I open in a new window, then close that window and go back to previous it always refreshes. I hate that.

Do you have the latest radio update installed?

Yeah i do have the latest radio, i always update to the latest radio. same prob

It refreshes if you switch to another app and switch back too, I figure it must be some kind of timer based on when the browser window was last viewed.
And I don't hate it, I loath it, it annoys me no end.

Run the AdFree app I wrote, it won't fix keystroke lag but it will get rid of a lot/most ads which will speed up other aspects of your browsing.

disabling java script would make it a little faster.
also overclocking would make it faster.
if you want to display PC version of the website goto URL "about:debug" don't search hit the "go" button. then hit menu settings in the bottom you'll see UAString, select Desktop. You may have to do this every time you start the browser because it doesn't stay. what you can do is set "about:debug" as your home page, so it'll enable debug menu when go to go home page.

Facebook App doesn't work after HC Upgrade

Hey everyone,
So I just upgraded my DS7 to Honeycomb, pretty new to this Android thing, so I haven't rooted anything, just running the stock Dell version.
After the upgrade the Facebook App doesn't seem to work. I can log in, but my Newsfeed never displays anything, it just continuously shows the little loading circles spinning around.
Any ideas?

Have you reset (power off and on) after you update? Check to see if there is an update to Facebook. Mines works fine after the update. After the update, if you did not go through the setup procedure, you might want to do a factory reset to clear out all the old data and begin fresh. I did that and my Streak 7 is working smoothly, no problem at all.

I have rebooted it a number of times, but no luck. I've been thinking about doing a factory reset and then upgrading to HC after that, as almost all my data is stored in the cloud, so I would just need to back up my apps.
I'm still pretty new to Android though, so I'm a little nervous about doing that sort of thing.

My Facebook app is also giving me problems. The newsfeed and profile tab and some of my friends wall wont load all the time. After a reboot it did help but like I said, sometimes I have the same issue. I will keep an eye on it and see whats up.

Try opening a friends wall and go back to yours. Play with it a few times back and forth. Also, try an uninstalland update again. Clear cache and data.

You have already upgrade to Honeycomb, so all you have to do is a factory reset to clear out the old data. You will not loose your honeycomb update, just the data. Go into the recovery mode: power off, then press & hold the Volume Up and Power button until the recovery screen comes up, then follow the instructions it provide.

mine is working fine... did you try to clear data once?

Try resetting App in Applications

Before you reboot, try by going into settings, applications, and then pull up all applications and scroll down to Facebook, when it comes up...click on the "Clear Data" option. It will clear out all setting for Facebook, then go to the Market and check for Facebook updates. Once you've done that, reboot your Streak, then try accessing Facebook to see it it the issue cleared. Facebook works fine on my Streak.

Now comes the big question: How do I remove this Facebook application? Used to have it but was addicted, strangely enough I am unable to remove the application. Am I the only one that does not want to be on Facebook? The service is running and therefore is doing something even if it was just taking up space...... anyone?

Open settings and applications. Select all. Scroll to fb. Wipe data and cache. Fixed

Root+ titanium back = freeze the app or uninstall

The Facebook 1.7.2 app on my mom's S7 crashes when she clicks the "friends" link if the tablet is being held in landscape mode. It works properly when held in portrait mode.

Wifi only HC update issues
I'm having a lot of the same issues that are being mentioned here.
For starters, I can't seem to install/move apps to SD after upgrading.
Facebook app doesn't work very well (if at all) even with update applied or clearing data. I can cause it to crash simply by selecting the friends tab. I also noticed that trying to add fb via the accounts tab in system settings generates an error. My theory is that this is a bug stemming from contact syncing.
I say this because none of the apps seem to behave correctly in that sense. Twitter and Skype contacts get added even when you specify within the app settings to sync with existing contacts only.
The Paypal app experiences an error upon login, preventing you from getting past that initial screen.
Installing apps via Android Market from another computer doesn't work. You are given the option to send the app but it never shows up on the Streak. I have not tried this again since wiping the device last night.
Note: Prior to upgrading, I reset the device to factory state. Updated successfully. Found all the above issues. Reset to factory state again. No change in behavior. I think the build may be bad, but then again, I'm no expert.
Any help would be appreciated.

Google virus?!

I have a slight problem which I can't fix. Whenever I open dolphin browser hd the Google homepage opens up even though I have the homepage set as new tab. Also Google will randomly open on a new tab while I am browsing on another tab. I tried changing all various settings and it didn't fix it. I even tried downloading Firefox and that worked fine until when I closed and then opened it again it came up with the Google homepage!
I have no idea what the problem could be. I need help please!

Eh, I have uninstalled (or hidden, don't really know) quite some apps using this method:
Forumpost on XDA about unbloating without root
(XDA) Uninstall bloat without root
However, I encounter a small issue now. I also uninstalled this Browser from Vivo. Mainly because of the overkill of chinese in it, as well as that I (obviously) didn't use it, and I couldn't really avoid it. (switching the default browser to Chrome seemed to work, but whenever you leave that setting-screen and come back to it, this Vivo Browser is back in place. Uninstalling using the above helped, but now I encounter another issue. This Browser also was malfunctioning with certain radiobuttons on websites, which also made me not use it for login on certain public wifi's where I am regularly. However, without the Browser, I can't seem to let Chrome open in order to guide me to the Wifi login screen at all. Sometimes, on some wifi's, the redirect works (so I just open google.com in Chrome, and I get redirected to the login page straight away), but on some wifi's that is not happening. When in the Wifi-setting-screen I tap on "Tap here to authenticate", nothing happens....Anyone an idea?

You should be able to do the same with the browser as you did with the launcher, set the browser as default.

True, I found the setting. However, whenever I leave that settings window (after setting the default browser to Chrome), and come back to it later, I see that it has swapped back to the Vivo browser. And for stuff like publicwifilogin I still got this vivo browser (and that caused some issues since it has issues with certain radiobuttons)...
