With Opera Mini 8.0.1807.91281 I can no longer log in to my Opera Account. There's no error message but after entering my username and password, the login process never completes. This is on a Motorola MB855 running Android 2.3.4.

Does Opera Mini 8 have a feeds page, like previous iterations. Will the feed data be migrated?
My phone, Galaxy s3 has 7.6.4. For some reason, I missed the 7.6.5 upgrade. Can I upgrade to 7.6.5 now, in order to achieve your claimed problem free data migration? How to preceed please?

on a long textbox the screen did not adjusting to typing focus so the text eventually got under my virtual keyboard.
then I have to back and scroll the page I'm in to the end of the textbox to continue typing. same problem to see the previous text.it highly inconvenient.
it even happen as I type this very comment.I hope you got solution for it

Wow thank you for this. New UI and I love it
By the way, I was able to use previous versions of Opera Mini connected to wifi that tunnels all connection to a proxy. I used a 3rd party application to proxify all my connections from my android phone and everything (all applications) work flawlessly including the operamini 7 android version.
Right now, It seems OM 8 can't connect to this kind of connection anymore, so I'm relying on my 3G connection to browse
Can you give some workaround on this or explanations why this issue exists?

I have been using the new version (8) of Opera mini for Android for several days and must say it's not as easy to use as the pevious version Is there any way to keep any improvements 'under the hood' of the new version but provide the option to use the old user interface as it looks less bland, has less glaring white space (therefore using less battery power to display, being darker) and speed dial icons, refresh button etc. are bigger and easier to select on my Samsung Galaxy Ace and galaxy Ace 2 phones which do not have the huge screens of the more expensive models. Also Is there anyway to remove the bookmarks and saved pages icons from speed dial? Tried deleting them but seems you can only shuffle them around the screen. Over all, version 7 interface seems far more comfortable and efficient to use and looks more appealing (the move of developers to the glaring white space, flat blandness and cluttered web 2.0 page design look of the windows 8 and 10 models has not been an improvement in my opinion. Makes everything look like it is reverting to the early 1990's. The new BBC news website for desktop, for exampl,e looks like a disaster of a design as they attempt to provide a 'one size fits all' reactive design for all platforms). I have both Opera mini versions on my phone but will continue to use 7 until 8 improves look, usability and becomes more efficient in terms of number of clicks. I hope Opera 7 mini will stiil receive any security updates as they become available and it may be an idea to make it available on the Play store allowing people to revert to it who may have deleted it from their phone. Please also advise as to how I remove the 'Opera mini 8 is now available' reminder nag from version 7 permanently and not just 'remind me later'.

@tinman989 in case no one gonna help :
why you can't remove saved pages and bookmars from speed dial is that it is the only way you could access them. feeds included.
I agree with you with the white colour. as I've already mentioned in some of my previous posts, we really need a theme colour options. like in old opera 4 on our java phones.
for the layout, they seems to try to maximize the viewing area and minimize the address/navigation bar. I guess they haven't check how it went on a small screen.
and for the purpose to retain the old UI we got classic layout. It's the only thing there is to it.
Or maybe they need to add theme option regarding the colour AND the layout? -

This issue about dark or black shades saves battery is only for oled displays... Clearly yours is not oled... both the Aces..... if you understand well lollipop and most of material apps... are colourful and black isn't one of them....
The user interface of opera mini 8 is great... just put full screen and the white background won't be visible anymore.... -

giving the theme options like dark, white or black red would be a welcome addition

How can I manage search engines? I can't seem to be able to delete or modify them
-
How can I disable the suggestions I get every time I type in the search/address bar? it makes my mobile phone sluggish
-
I want to have a separate search box from the address bar, so my spell checker works!
The only reason I kept opera was the two boxes. Now this browser is totally behind Chrome and Firefox, because they're faster in my phone than this one, so if I cannot solve these issues, I'm going to uninstall it.
Thanks.

To delete the search engines... you swipe to the right... to add...am not sure.
Seem like you should stick to opera mini 7.6.4... to get separate address and search box...
I like the combination of both the search and the address... Makes things clean and easy to use.

Please let us open images in the current tab.
Opening in a background tab should be an option.Thanks.

To add search engines you visit the search engine you want to add and then long press on the search field to open up the context menu. There you will find an option to add the search engine (this is the same way as it was done in Mini 7).

This method does not work with websites like www.ixquick.com
Is there any way to add this search engine?
How to change the default search engine? After restart it is always Google. -

Opera Mini default search engine can't be changed since forever.
why asking just now?

but not until restart.
maybe you confuse it for multiple tabs search. now each tab remember its own last used search engine. start with Google obviously.
