Opera Mobile 11.1 Update, preferred browser; Flash support and User Agent changeable!

I don't know if you guys know already, but Opera Mobile browser has been updated to 11.1, bringing along a whole lot of goodies, including flash support and user agent changes.
One thing I did notice was that typing lag on facebook seemed to have diminished, this was on desktop view, however still unable to type through some pages with "disqus"
I also found HD 720p videos on youtube has greatly improved! It might be just me, but frames seem to be a whole lot better as opposed to dolphin HD and stock browser.
Frames also drop a bit when viewing full screen 720p in browser, but its watchable.
A link to change log can be found here: http://my.opera.com/operamobile/blog/2011/06/30/opera-mobile-11-1-has-arrived
Temporary Fix to search bar always going to mobile search (must apply apply every time you reset Opera), Credit to iCracked
Hey everyone, I have found a fix for those of you frustrated with the old google mobile search. once you have switched UA to desktop, go to google.com manually, it should load up the full site. Now, using your finger, press and hold over the google.com (website's) search bar, to bring up the menu. Now select "add search engine" then go to your browser search bar and tap the little google icon to bring up a list of search providers and select the new google one, be sure to delete the old one to avoid confusion.

yes, I noticed that too, but I made some video comparisons with a few 720p videos that I watched on different browsers, and it seems Opera seems to perform better. Only my judgement though, and I'm judging on real world performance, not an in app browser test to judge what I can see.
I am running Honeycomb 3.1 stock unrooted

and its fast!!!! not the flash. everything else. no keyboards lag ... Google you need to learn something or maybe buy opera.

Opera is known to introduce its own optimizations, so that's why it's the best in terms of Javascript performance showing zero lag in text input. Finally, Flash support is available! How did they manage to do that without Honeycomb source code?

memory usage is pretty bad tho. 170mb right now on xda wtf?

I'm guessing that the Flash support doesnt work with the hacked/hulu Flash? Opera isn't picking up my Flash but it works in every other browser...

Seems to work well and without any redraw issues when scrolling quickly. Good spot.

nice...will have to give it a try when i get home.
Last night i did a second reset. trying to run my tablet without any downloads for the moment and monitoring performance.
disabled javascript, flash on demand, and the browser was beautifully working. opened up links super fast, then.........
i hit the back button (lower left on screen)...the page does nothing. i press again, and this time it takes me 2 pages further than i wanted...damnit
then when i go from landscape to portrait, the damn quick scroll guide (added in 3.1) is stuck in the middle of the page...
all of a sudden..it crashes. no message, no warning, just straight back to home page. wtf... shame, because i love the layout of the stock browser.
But. Opera..here i come

Loving it. It's REALLY quick, feels 4x quicker than the stock browser, and more intuitive too. I also just tried their desktop browser, Chrome killer or what!!!

Opera keeps on randomly zooming in on certain links when I click them. This is extremely annoying when using the touchpad as the mouse is plenty accurate enough.
Any way to turn this off?

Anyone successfully seeing flash videos in the new Opera using the 10.3 hulu hacked flash?

Google searches from the address bar or search box still use the mobile google site even with the UA set to desktop.

Did they also increase the font size on 11.1? The font size on previous version were much smaller then default browser, and dolphin HD

That's precisely why you don't see any redraw while scrolling. The stock browser uses less memory because it doesn't load the whole page, instead only loading the portion of the page that you are currently viewing. This translates to choppy performance because it has to reload the page every time you scroll up or down, but leaves more memory for the rest of the OS to work with.

I hate tabs on this thing. Hidden, huge and ugly.
Also it renders fonts badly (some letters are to close, some are too bold comparing to stock browser or Dolphin).

scrolling is jittery no where as smooth scrolling as default browser

I like them out of the way. They are hidden on my desktop that sports a full hd screen, I see no reason to keep them on sight on a "tiny" screen
Anyway, they didn't update Opera link, I was kinda hoping they will, so to get the most out of Opera 11.50....... oh well. One day.

[Request] Hcomb Browser Fix

The main app any tablet user uses is the Browser I'd assume and unfortunately its the weak spot on Honeycomb.
Viewing most desktop sites is very unbearable (try facebook, XDA, Google Plus) as the page lags, and text input is very difficult as well (huge lag)
Do any devs have any idea how to improve the speed on this stock browser in custom roms or so, I remember a kernel on the Xoom fixed things
This link has more info:
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=17353

If we could get a fix for this I could finally love my tab.

There is a lot less lag on the bonsai rom, but it's not completely gone. Ultimately google will have to be the to fix it.

theyve never mentioned it /acknowledged it
thats the worrying part

Ya know what actually, as,much as i dont like the look of the browser, opera mobile is the best functioning browser ive ever used. There is no browser lag, it render eveything exactly the way my desktop does. Im very suprised that google cannot mirror whatever opera mobile has done.
Ill give you an example of where opera finally got it right...
Try and do a search on xdas site and see what happens. It opens the text box for a second and then it drops the keyboard. Its never works and it is so annoying.
Now try it on opera mobile. Oh my god, it works!
It doesnt work on dolphin, firefox or any other browser ive tried. Opera mobile it works. Can a super sharp coder figure out a way to take whatever opera has in it and put it in the stock HC browser??

it`strange becouse in some forums is all ok, in other the text is very very slow :-(

I tried Opera and everything works great except two things. the first is that often times you will enter text in a text box, and then when you minimize the keyboard to click the submit button, it removes everything you just typed! I had this happen to me about 5 times and then I gave up and uninstalled it. The other issue is mainly a preference, but the tabs suck! Give me real tabs like the stock browser. opera and Firefox have a horrible tab implementation on Android.

i hate this thing more of the input lag , when it succeed often i close my browser and don't write more becouse i'm frustrated

Plus I am very tired of getting to the "mobile" version of the websites.
Its a 10 inch Tablet..
Google needs to give this thing a Desktop identity and load the desktop version of the websites. One thing Apple is doing right with the iPad.
Even better get rid of this Chrome Based Android Mobile Browser and put there the real Chrome.

even when I've manually set the useragent to a desktop browser, I still get kicked to the mobile versions of some sites. And sites like...google search, which should know better!
I've tested a bunch of browsers at this point and none of them are perfect. I think dolphin comes closest, but it definitely has little things that are annoying (such as it being way to easy to close the wrong tab)

I am a little confused. I don't have an issue with the browser or the typing...The pages load and scroll perfect and there is little to no lag at all on my typing. There can be a slight lag at times when i use the Keyboard/Dock but that is it.
Does anyone else have no issue?

wow

I have been using ice cream sandwich 8 hours now and I am very impressed. I am using flexreaper and am blown away. The speed of the stock browser is kick ass. The pages flip or scrolls almost to fast and too smooth. I was not expecting this much , dam good job to all that made it happen. Now I have a kick ass tab.

Yeah, I'm running Taboonay 3.0.1 and love how smooth it is. was using it in the McDonald's at the truckstop I'm parked at for the night and the browser was super smooth (loving the little tab on the side when scrolling up and down). not using the stock launcher (am using ADW) but for the short time I did it was nearly flawless. I can't get over how quick and smooth it runs in general, if the "leak" or ROMs based on it are this smooth I can't wait for the official release (and hopefully Acer doesn't screw the pooch between now and then)

Is it laggy when you move through system settings?

For me there is no lag anywhere at first Tabooney installed here as well. After all day using the web browsers I noticed it was getting slow. I went to settings apps browser and cleared cache and it helped. the browser experience to me is like the browser cant exactly keep up with the OS it sometimes seems to be a bit shaky and text artifacts .Typical for a new release of say firefox would often do on a super fast computer. But its a very small issue for Such improved speed. Chrome browser will STOP and end at a black screen for me quite often . i would say avoid it until they give another update or 6.
I have tried some of the other roms as well and they all seem very similar. AWESOME WORK FROM THESE GUYS ON SUCH A SHORT TIME.

Yes. I agree. It's like I have new tablet, speed is amazign and stock browser is great too.
I have one question. I installed chrome for android (beta) and every websites load in "mobile version". Is there any option to get classic desktop version of website? I didn't find anything in settings

I am using Taboonay and it is working great!! ICS is going to make the A500 even that much better!!

Ok. I just checked mine, and I use Dolphin HD from the market.
On my status bar (with dolphin HD open and on a page, say Cnn, I select the settings in the taskbar, More, and select MobileView) You can toggle this between mobile and desktop by selecting it. Note that it will always say MobileView. Just press it, and Select Dolphin HD for doing the action. Page should change.
This should work for you. But you have to be on a web page.

This is a BIG DEAL for those on Republic Wireless.
Once we received the 4.4.2 update, outgoing texts would completely disappear (from Motorola Connect) whether you sent them from the phone, or from Moto Connect.
For example: If I sent a text to my friend saying "hello", it WOULD get sent, but the moment Moto Connect refreshed, the sent message would disappear. This made an entire text conversation look like a one-way conversation and was confusing and irritating. ("Did I already reply to that message or not?!?!")
With the new update, ALL messages, sent or received are displayed whether they are sent from the phone itself or from Connect.
This was a known issue on RW phones (because texts are sent through their unique hybrid WiFi / Cell system), and they acknowledged it and claimed to be working on it.
This update was the solution!
I recommend that all RW users update to the new versions ASAP.
Thanks OP

the big deal is that u can now do a phone search from the app in the computer. so if it is lost in the house or anywhere for that matter you can ring it from motorola connect. this is new functionality to this service.
some people may consider it a big deal that you can now have an app icon available so that you don't have to scroll through the settings to get to the program.

Yeah I forgot about the ring feature. That is a nice feature. I haven't used it much since updating this evening, but I just sure hope the performance is improved. Before it worked about 8 times out of 10. Which is pretty good, but when I send a lot of texts and than a random text doesn't go through, it's kinda annoying.

Motorola Connect still doesn't work for me even with this update.
Oh well

Not anything big but one or two nice touches. Still hit and miss for me regarding the connection between my phone and the app.

to start i don't use this so i am not sure if this is what they mean or not. BUT chrome has an app tray. mine is located on the favorites bar on the far left and it says apps. It is where chrome apps are located. I would presume what they mean is that the app tray in chrome now has a connect icon you can click on to launch it. chrome in the past couple months added this app tray i believe where app icons are located. previously to launch an app that was not running you either had to go to their web page or open up settings and launch it. now there is an app tray. you can also put an app tray icon on your desktop as well as have one sitting in your bottom right corner of windows for easy access to chrome apps. I could be wrong but this is what i would assume they meant.

Well the new update is working flawlessly for me.. Earlier it was not connecting and even if connected, it wont get updated automatically when some new message or call is received.. Now the chrome shows the updates within 5 secs and replying is working too.. :thumbup:

[Q] Web browser lag

Surprisingly dissapointed with browsing speed.
Coming from an LG G2 which was insantaneous in loading pages, my note 4 lags chronically.
This is observed in every browser I've tried.
It should be noted that the pages which the Note 4 loads, have significantly more and larger advertisements.
Symptoms:
1. 2-5 seconds longer in loading pages when compared to the LG G2.
2. Momentary freeze when swipe to scroll.
3. Noticeable jump when scrolling - every time with each swipe.
Has anyone experienced similar issue or able to offer any insight towards resolving?
Your input would be greatly appreciated!

I think that the biggest problem is that most web pages are 75% ads, and 25% content that you want.
Web designers are lazy, and they just throw every single ad they can find on there, and they make a mess of things. It is really annoying when you just want to read something and have to go through 14 ads and commercials to read what you went there for.
I think that this is the modern day equivalent of the pop-up. Most have those blocked pretty well, so now all those annoying popups are just integrated into the page itself and it really bogs things down. And I think that in their greedy zeal to force these ads down our throats, they make them less effective because we just learn to tune them out and become numb to them...
If it was an ad or two on a page, I might see it and check it out. WHen it is 9 or 10 I get annoyed and just start flicking past them to get what I want, or I give up and try another page altogether...

It will help a lot if you get rid of the ads. I am using ABP to block all ads easily when in wifi. no need for root.
if you got root adaway is the way to go.

Are you rooted? And have xposed installed? Maybe its in one of those plugins for chrome. Mine is working fantastic. Try clearing cache and dalvik and reboot. If all else fails use another browser

enter this in the chrome bar: chrome://flags
Then look for "Maximum tiles for interest area"
and change to 512. This allocates more ram.
You can play with the other settings there as well and reset incase things get effed up :good:

Already tried, this does not improve the scrolling performance at all, thanks anyway

I tried on the Nexus 5 my friend has it, not much of an improvement, guess its Chrome.

Alright this is the final solutions I have found. If it wont work for you then it's the end of the world...
Option one: 1) install samsung support
2) disable javascript and restart chrome
If you need javascript enabled keep it enabled and make sure samsung support is installed
1) enter chrome://flags
2) look for "Enable Experimental JavaScript" restart and reply here for feedback...
Also don't forget to enable the 512 hack as well
