Hi,
From time-to-time, my E71 freezes, and I have to take the battery out to re-boot. I'm working through the process of isolating WHICH software is causing it.
It SEEMS to be the built in browser, so I'd like to use Opera for a while instead.
I've downloaded it, and it works great, EXCEPT that it won't show moving images the way the built in browser does.
For example, our weather bureau has a rain radar service, (http://www.bom.gov.au/products/national_radar_sat.loop.shtml) which plays a 'loop' of the last 40 mins of rainfall.
It works fine on the built in browser, just like on a PC.
HOWEVER, in Opera, you only get ONE image, which remains stationary on the screen? :con?
I've looked in 'settings' to see if there is anything in there, but there doesn't seem to be.
Does anyone know if it CAN work?
I hope so, because other than that, Opera is a really cool app that is fast and VERY intuitive.
Thanks for any advice about this!
Cheers,
Jerry
Are you talking about Opera browser, or Opera Mini?
Thanks for getting back to me!
I didn't know that you could use Opera on a phone? I thught it had to be Opera Mini.
Anyway...
I looked in Menu > Tools > Help > About.
It says: Opera Mini
v. 4.2.13221
Does that help?
Thanks,
Jerry

Anyhow, as Opera Mini doesn't connect you to the target web site directly, but to Opera's proxy service, where they do the content downloading and re-rendering for Opera Mini, the behaviour is probably more of a feature than a bug.
Opera Mini is a nice , fast browswer . The Websites you are visiting are handled through Opera servers , which are compressing data to a small load ( i.e. kB's instead of MB's ) .
This comes of course with disavantages : especially the moving content like Flash , Gif and movies are not displayed .
For this content , whether Opera redirects you , or you have to open the build in "Web" browser manually .
Freezing Phone can be due to shortage of RAM-memory . You can check this thread : http://www.allaboutsymbian.com/forum//forum/thread/84082/
Also works for E71
