A download with opera mini 8.0.1.7 does not save a file with data on the phone. But it is a file with 0 kb that can not be used. I can transfer it to another directory but in the ms 'files' app it stays without data. A jpg with 0 kb can not be seen, An mp3 without content can not be heard.

Could you share an example url to a file where it happens?

A Former User

example :
http://www.radio1.be/programmas/de-ochtend/vliegtuigcrash-je-kan-nooit-alle-risicos-uitsluiten-de-samenleving

On this page the url to the sound file saves a file with no data.
When I click on the corresponding picture. I can save it. When I try to display it using the ms 'files' app it is not possible because it says 0 KB.

Answering to bass305:

No back/forward button
No opera link
No option for disable remember passwords on all sites
No option for change quality images
Power supply for download files
Can't browse because only appear yellow box on link 
Tab switch is annoying, Add option for change like old style or on list view

Never used back/forward button, return function from the phone is enough. Never used opera link. Passwords are remembered normally by web pages. Quality image is fine as soon it's maximum quality. Need of Power supply for download files could be an issue. Very few web pages are'nt accessible. I'm delighted with new design.

Answering to vigneshlin:

Browser is a bit more buggy than previous one
Much slower in browsing
Font is too small even on large setting
Image quality doesn't change
Tamil fonts not display properly.
about:config not opening.

Browser is more stable, but sometimes app closes suddenly. IT IS TRUE, IT IS SLOWER, but I expect that's going to be fixed in the future. For fonts, large text size setting is perfect. Image quality is OK as soon as it's the maximum quality. I don't use tamil fonts, just regular english-spanish keyboard. Config is not so extended as before, to me it's OK, best setting is Single Column View.

Could you give a couple of examples of places (or use cases) that you see it is slower than the previous version?

PLEASE, give me back previous version of Opera Mini for WP!

All of my open tabs are lost, my history is lost. I had like 10 open tabs, thank god I decided to upgrade after vacation. This single issue could make me upset, but I still can handle it.
Toolbar takes up a lot of precious space on small phone display. If you want to get rid of menu button in bottom right corner, add some offscreen swipe gesture instead.
I don't care about correct html rendering, give me back previous page layout algorithm, so I can zoom in and read text without problems. If there's any problem with particular page, I can still open it in IE and I practice it this way.
Double tap to intelligent zoom in doesn't work any more. Maybe this is the single most important feature lost. Why do you think there are still smaller phones operable with one hand only?

So, Why the hell should I use Opera Mini anymore? Do you even have any idea, why we are using this instead of IE on the phone?

Thank you very much.

And last but not least. Please don't forget older version was able to hold rendered content in memory even after restart. So I wasn't usually reloading open tabs after restart. Very helpful feature when on trip and multitasking between browser and map application. This one lost feature makes me hesitate if I should stay with WP or switch to another OS. Thanks for understanding.

the new ui is really very impressive in wp 8.1 but it's quite slower. it crashes sometimes in lumia 730. is there any possibility to upgrade it to Windows mobile 10 in future?. best of luck for next development.

I've been trying to update Opera on my WP for more than a week now, but I always get an error. The link that goes with the error leads to a non-existent Microsoft help page. Error code is 80073cf6. What shall I do?

Hi,

As the "saved pages" is disabled on the version 8.0.1.7 - are my saved pages disappeared too? So, as soon as the "saved pages" feature will be again available can I see my old pages again ?

I'm not at all happy with the new version on my Lumia 520, having many of the same complaints as others have already noted. Namely:

Progress bar is almost invisible, being too thin and a pale color. Unlike other WP apps, the bar's color doesn't respect the user's color scheme choice.
The control layout is awkward for one-handed operation. IE for WP puts everything on the bottom, which is good. Opera Mini's URL bar at the top means more reaching around.
Click and hold to open a new tab takes too long. Also, the click and hold options are ordered differently,
There's no click/selection feedback as before. I often find myself wondering, "Did I actually click that link, or not?"
No saved pages. All of mine from version 7.x appear to be lost. Grrr.
No landscape mode (rotation). Sites that format pages as one wide column are almost impossible to read on a vertical screen.
No back (or forward) buttons. I know, IE for WP doesn't have them either, but the usability of that approach is questionable IMO.
Less data seems to be cached, so pressing the back button more frequently requires a slooow page reload. (And it does seem pages load more slowly. I don't have any way to measure this, but the developers certainly ought to.)
History and bookmarks don't display right away. The delay is long and irritating. There should at least be a "loading..." message. Instead, we're told "No history" or shown a blank screen.
As others have noted, the button bar at the bottom of the screen takes up a lot of space, but I'm not sure what to suggest as an alternative. A swipe up control might be nice.
The app crashes more often than before. That's not surprising for a beta, but it's annoying. Version 7.x wasn't perfect either, but it was more stable.

On the plus side, the page rendering seems to have improved, but the old version was good enough for me. Frankly, I'd prefer to be able to revert to the old version, but haven't figured out how to do that. Guess I'm stuck until the new version gets updated, which hopefully will be soon!

Microsoft help pages tend to throw out 404s when you're not logged in or your version of Silverlight is broken...

About that error code, it seems to be Store application error, you can try to clear its cache or IE cache and then resync your MS account.

Back action is done by hardware back button. Forward can be achieved by swipe gesture.

True, your observations are correct. This is connected to our memory usage while using more tabs, we're currently working on resolving this.

History and bookmarks don't display right away. The delay is long and irritating. There should at least be a "loading..." message. Instead, we're told "No history" or shown a blank screen.

No, there should be no lag

The app crashes more often than before. That's not surprising for a beta, but it's annoying. Version 7.x wasn't perfect either, but it was more stable.

Desribe me an use-case scenario and we'll look into that. We're fixing the most occuring crashes that are logged to our system, but sometimes we're hopeless with reproduction, as the bare stacktrace doesn't provide all the info that we need.

Genereally, the more details we get from you, the higher chance you will see it fixed in next release.
