I've read a few threads about people wanting to change there default apps, and as I've just set Opera Mobile as my default web browser, thought I'd let people know in case they weren't aware you could do it
I've installed the Opera Mobile 10 browser and have set it as the default browser in the default programs menu. Still it does not seem to be the default browser. It seems as if the phone just ignores this setting. If I go to internet from the Media menu (upright corner) etc. I still get the Nokia browser.
How do I set opera mobile as the default browser on a Nokia N900? I want all websites, e.g. links in emails, etc. to automatically open in opera mobile not in microb.
I changed the Default applications | Browsing internet setting from Web to Opera Mini. This does not seem to affect anything. Unless I actually start Opera Mobile, any application that has a URL link will start the default N97 browser instead of Opera Mobile.
Is there something else I need to do in order to change the default browser on the N97?
How can one make Opera mobile to be the phone's default browser so that it opens vs Nokia browser when clicked on a link in emails? Nokia web browser opens despite Opera is set as default?
hey friends,i wanted to know if there is any way of switching opera mini browser to default browser as the nokia browser is much slower than the opera mini. I would also like to know what is making thw nokia browser so slow compared to others.
I so love Opera now and the speed is amazing. Is there anyway to make it my default browser? When I click a link in an email it opens up the incredibly slow native BB browser. When I go into settings, the only choices are internet browser and hotspot browser.
I have installed the Opera Mini 5 browser, and I am thinking of making it the default browser.When I go to Browser Options>Browser Configuration or Browser Options>General Properties, the list of available browser options does not include Opera Mini.Anyone got any suggestions?
What is the point of exposing this string of options this since it will not let me change anything?Specifically I would like to make Opera 10 my default browser.
I can't use Opera mini web browser at all! It loads and finally throws up the following error:"Failed to connect to the Internet."It's frustrating coz I was (am) able to use Opera mini without any glitch on N73.
Is there any way I can set-up Opera Mini as my main default browser (for example if I recieve a text message including a web link so that I can open it with Opera rather than Nokia's browser)
The browser on my Nokia 701 is great -certainly much better than past versions- but websites 'see' it as a full size browser and so deliver it full size web pages. I have found this leads to much dragging and zooming. If the site also has pop-ups (which can fully obscure the screen!) this can lead to misclicks, impossible to navigate sites etc. Also full size webpages are slow to load and more expensive on data.
This issue has led me to either manually navigating to the mobile versions of the websites I like (bit of a pain) or to simply use the Opera Mini browser instead. The Opera browser is free and websites 'recognise' it as a mobile browser. This means without any work when I surf I instantly get the mobile version of the website I want (assuming one exists), easy to navigate and fast (and so cheaper) to load. In many cases this works much better for me.
So I think Nokia have missed a trick here. Maybe they should offer a feature whereby the user can tell their browser to find either mobile-friendly pages or normal ones. They could even add in a second browser shortcut, one which launches the Nokia browser in a 'mobile' mode.
Now running a 701, beautiful phone to handle and use...now that it has stopped sending my personal information to Nokia via 360Panel [rolls eyes]
I went to settings and then to application settings, changed it there and still it uses the normal browser. I instald the normal opera and mini. I use it all the time but my phone cant seem to see the new browser n8 bella?
The Nokia 770 tablet (just as the Nokia 7710 S90 phone) came bundled with Opera. This changed on the N800 when Nokia opted to use microb which we all now know and love..
Thanks to a team of developers working on the side, Opera has come back to Maemo:
is there a way to change the default web browser? Skyfire seems to be working a whole lot better for me so would love to have it as my default i know it still beta version but i've able to access a whole lot more with it.
This gets resolved after i turn the phone off and on but i don't want to keep doing that. When i click a link or open web browser, it opens for a few seconds then shuts down. Other browsers like skyfire work fine and other apps open fine. I have 38MB C: memory left and only have nokia messaging and memory up pro open. Any idea how to resolve this?
I have downloaded to my phone a very good internet browser called UC Browser (http://www.uc.cn/English/download.shtml ), I am finding it a lot better than the built in Nokia one but when I want to open up a link the hone always uses its original browser, how can I get it to open up in this new browser instead? I have looked in application settings and cannot see how to selct the other browser as default browser.
Does anybody know how to change the default browser on the X6? I recently installed Opera Mobile, which is much more reliable than the Nokia browser. Therefore I'd like to know if there is a way to change the default browser to Opera.
It exits after one or two minutes of browsing,previously used to stay for ten minutes also when i go to any 'download pg' it immediately exits. Cleared cache n cookies but problem is still there how can i get it back to before having nokia 5235.
i set the default browser as following way: Settings > Application Settings > Default Applications > Browsing Internetin the settings, it is showing default browser as opera,but again while opening web-pages, it still uses Nokia web-browser.it never uses opera.i have also tried using this after switching off and on my Nokia N8.
