      Yep, the difference I noted is your version reportedly has MORE STORAGE than mine. So it doesn't contribute to the issue at all. It's something else.

      Nope, both have HTC Sense 3.6 when fully updated.

      According to GSMArena the CDMA version has. Again that'd be a minor difference between the versions of the same model (the antenna and a difference on the chipset to accommodate it) that doesn't contribute to the issue you're experiencing.

      I really don't know what to think apart from another app interfering or maybe network, sorry.
      Have you tried accessing via a good Wi-Fi network?

      I can't troubleshoot more than this without seeing everything installed in the phone, etc...
      And how weird it is for the stock browser to be working fine according to you! :x

        Earlier today I composed most of a reply to help get this worked out, my phone became so unusable & unstable during the process (most likely the same or at least partly the same issue that has been causing the probs I posted here about) that I not only couldn't finish & post but it was so ready to die that I couldn't even get what I had written saved, so I'll have to do it over. 1 thing also to answer is no I didn't try it (16) on wifi yet. I was ironically using wifi last nite to download a sizeable file faster than I can w/VM network, but I had some new problem (never b4 seen) w/that as well. I was able to connect to the wifi but I couldn't get the download to initiate. I tried a bunch of times & I have used this same wifi hotspot many times b4 w/no problem so I have no clue what was stopping the download from occurring. I had to do a 350 MB download via 3g because I can't even get the benefit of the 4g while throttling is in place, so 250k 3g is it for me w/o wifi now. Jeez. Also you said something strange about me saying native browser no problem. I don't know what you reference there that I said, but I haven't had any problem w/native but I haven't tried to use it to access opera 16 if that's what you're saying. It looks like phone is working well enuff at the moment to let me post this & maybe later I'll rewrite my comments to the rest of what you told me.

        Appreciate the attempts to help me w/this. (oh & by the way, if I had to use wifi to get a better experience w/16, I don't think I would bother w/it anyway. I only use wifi (down the st) for quick big downloads.

          I never said that. I just wanted to confirm the issue wasn't in your carrier's connection. Well I don't know how to help more... I've seen some reports Opera isn't loading any page with this release and jumping back to the Speed Dial, perhaps try Opera again when the next update is released presumably fixing this issue.

            Download Clean Master from Google Play Store and clean up your phone. See if that make any difference.

              I didn't say you did say it. I understood that your suggestion was to rule out network issues. I added the comment just to say if I couldn't get good performance of 16 w/o wifi, I wouldn't bother w/it. I do believe it's at least in part, if not fully, an issue w/memory or storage or phone since I'm experiencing an increasing level of instability in general. I hope I can find out what's going on. On the other hand I noted quite a few similar negative comments about the browser.

              Thx again

                      Terrible browser. Three times slower than Mini, web pages constantly freeze...

                      Developer should be shot.

                        lol. You realize there's a fundamental difference between Mini and full browsers like this one which is the cause of the performance discrepancy right?

                          Shouldn't you also be shot for thinking this way?
                          There's a slight difference between constructive criticism and insult, and I think you don't make it.

                              Is there an option to configure opera beta 16 like opera:config ?

                              I want to edit the setting " Use bitmap fonts for complex scripts"

                              Because Hebrew does not display correctly, it displays as rectangles.

                              In opera mini and opera classic and Android browser, Hebrew display correctly.

                              I'm using galaxy W with Android 2.3.6

                              Bug: ANDEX-10042

                                As Opera Beta is no longer 16, I'm releasing this thread ...
