New "silent" release of Opera Mini 4.1

By ManneS. Thursday, 22. May 2008, 08:38:34

We just released build 4.1.11355 of Opera Mini. If you don't use Palm or BlackBerry, you don't really have to update.

What have we fixed?

BlackBerry devices should now be able to only use Wi-Fi (also at installation).
BlackBerry users can try BIS. We can't guarantee that it's working, but it works on one of our two different service providers.
Palm devices now get better memory handling, which means that they should get more images. This is a hugh improvement over the last build, and hopefully it will be similar to the beta, in the eyes of Palm users.
A user told us about a bug while adding bookmarks. Most of you have probably not seen it due to the strange reproduction path, but it's fixed. Thanks to some guy using Yahoo mail in Argentina - you probably know who you are!

We hope you will enjoy this release!

Regards,
the Opera Mini team

PS: For Palm users, we recommend these settings in prefs:
Use Double Buffering - on
Use high resolution coordinates - on
Set Memory Maximum: 1Mb
Set Maximum Java Thread Stack Size: 32kb

Opera Mini 4.1 finalMore SVG support, and more fun with Outlook or Friendster

Thank you

congratulations opera teem for this great effort
i use 9300i,i wish if you could add few things to it.
1)cut, paste & copy like native browser
2)multiple window opening. also opening new window from link like native 9300i browser
3)use of only numeric keys for short cuts instead of # and * so full keyboard can be acomodated

it's great on my 8310 os4.5.0.37!!

Sir. . I have not stopped using version 3 of operamini because it is still works smoothly than the 4 version. Besides the 4 version does not have the mark or unmark the content folding in the setting. . But the most noticeable difference is the font darkness. . Version 3 has good font darkness even at medium setting the fonts are clearly visible and dark. .
And finally my thanks to operamini team. . I hardly use phone browsers as they are not only slow they also download whole data and are therefore expensive.
I often wondered why not the phone manufacturs use the opera mini as their default browser.
Thanks to you all

I use both versions: 3 and 4.1. my phone: Sony Ericsson K700i
conclusions:
4.1 uses the processor better and it's faster than 3 on navigating through pages with pictures, except when the 'mobile view' is off and the phone stops responding when trying to display full pages with pictures :-( (probably not enough memory or CPU power)
3 is faster on loading pages with the 'load pictures' off because in stead of a colored shape there's just a shape.

By adrianp2200, # 26. May 2008, 12:57:01

I think it is better that the 4.1 version should also be able to display empty shapes for pictures besides those coloured shapes which are actualy the small quality version, reduced to one colour, of the original pictures-and where there are pictures, there is more transfered data. that's why version 3 loads faster with no pictures and with low qual pictures it also loads faster than the similar option in 4.1 because the actual quality is smaller

By adrianp2200, # 26. May 2008, 13:10:50

Its cool, its nice to hear this, we can explore our world through this, it is not just an ending its only a starting for something big:-):-). Go ahead opera team All the best

By Rusell, # 26. May 2008, 17:40:52

There are alot of bugs or errors must be repared on operamini 4.1
1-memory cash must be defined becoz it fulls and stops fone
2-not all picture are loaded when the quality is high and when there are more pictures
3-opera mini shuts down when you download a *.Jar or *.Pdf files and also some extentions
4-it takes long time to be closed
5-there is no reload to the saved pages

@zzzzznair: Actually, you can still set the content folding, among other features. Go to URL opera:config to see more custom settings.

By mcx, # 27. May 2008, 18:20:02

On all data sharing sites download button appear after some delay. When will opera address this problem ie refreshing web page in phone without using reload, since reload re-start the count again and still no download button. Opera is great but still lacking features.

By pimentos24, # 28. May 2008, 07:15:54

pimentos24: I'm not sure it's possible to fix that, since Opera Mini relies on a server to handle the actual Web page. So while it does support JavaScript, and also Ajax to a certain extent, making Ajax calls "real-time" probably isn't possible. This isn't a lacking feature as much as it is an inevitable result of how Opera Mini works.

By haavard, # 28. May 2008, 09:37:01

haavard: I think it is possible if there was a option to refresh content of mobile ie initiate custom refresh of already loaded web page since web page is already loaded at opera server and automatic changes(java object changes) are taking place. only problem is to synchronize the mobile and server. It is impossible to do so in real time, but forced synchronization between mobile and opera server(initiated by user) ought to do the trick.

By pimentos24, # 28. May 2008, 11:21:11

Congrats!! For opera teams.. I use sony ericsson w910i, that's cell phone without wi-fi.. So poor. I use opera mini 4 is better than opera 4.1, u know y? Its about connection failed..

Opera mini old or new is still da best.However I'd rather the Opera team works on downloading items directly instead of going tru da native web browser.I'm using 4.0 version on my nokia 3230. All Nigerian fans hail The 'GREAT OPERA TEAM'

OPERA ROCKS !

I still have the problem with Operamini crashing whenever I click on bookmarks or tools menu.
If I have not opened a web page and click first on menu, it crashes immediately. If I enter a web page and go to it, I can navigate, but once I click on menu/tools or menu/bookmarks (or simply on the bookmarks button), it crashes again. Even pressing the "back" button makes it crash. Soft crashes, but nevertheless it gets me nowhere.
I just downloaded and hotsynched opera-mini-4-1-11355-advanced-int.jad upon reading the above advice, to my phone, was it the wrong one?

Is there any other thing I need to do? At first I thought I'd installed the JVM wrong but it seems I installed all the right files. Was I supposed to install the dll's? They're not recognized as "handheld files" so I was afraid to go there, and also they aren't mentioned on the guide that comes with the JVM download (PalmOS JVM 5.7.2).

Can anyone help me? It's getting really frustrating that I can't save any bookmarks or do any prefs. And I hate Blazer!!! It's awful! I can't go to half the pages I used to be able to read on my old phone using Operamini. If I'd known, I'd never have gotten this Centro!

Sorry, for comment 31 above, I forgot to say I'm using a Palm Centro!

I use operamini 4.1 and it's works fine on my nokia n72, but the little problem i've is that i can't access my yahoo mailbox from opera kindly please help me out thanks very much from sunday Akinlolu.

By Akinlolu, # 16. August 2008, 21:46:41

I am using Opera Mini 4.1 on Nokia N73 but since last few days it is not connecting on the net although the internet on my mobile is Ok & all other applications using internet are working well. The problem is with Opera Mini 4.1 only, may at the opera-server.
I uninstalled it for re-installation but for running it requires to be connected & again it never connects _ same is with other versions of Opera Mini.
So at the end of day I am without Opera Mini & helpless as I do not know where to find the solution ?

By rashdi52, # 17. August 2008, 03:29:59

HI MR RASHDI: IF YOU DOWNLOAD IT AGAIN , JUST TRY TO MAKE IT IN SOKET CONNECTION NOT IN HTTP . IF THAT DIDN'T WORK , THAT MEANS YOU HAVE TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT ACCES POINT ! I FOUND THAT SOCKET PROTOCOL IS BETTER THAN HTTP. NOTICE ME IF THESE INFORMATION WERE USEFULL!
