@mwfontes I did this right now and its not working.. I disconnected opera touch in my mobile and tried to connect the opera GX android (released recently) to the opera GX pc.
Normally I guess it would've worked.

Still nothing working, not working with any of the android opera versions, everything from touch to GX nothing is connecting, not trough QR and the same using the manual code, nothing.

I had to do an "emergency/complete" reset of MyFlow to have it working again, you guys should try this as a last recourse.

@spencerross Nice to know I am the only one. Connecting Opera fails. Scan does not work neither typing in the code. Used to use flow, sad to see it's gone. Or has anybody a solution for this?

I am facing this issue on opera touch. The opera mini is working pretty nicely.

Is this really true? Just having switched to Opera I am appalled to see, that this trouble has been going on for ages! Is nobody of the creators of Opera following this blog? How can such an important problem not be solve asap? In Chrome one can use the google account to sync the devices. Why not here? This is not something out of this world and should be solved asap. I do not have the nerve to test all the above. Like Chrome and FF this just has to work, right? Where are the creators/designer to fix this? Very disappointing...

I took a screenshot of just the qr code and opened it on paint with a white background and it worked, tried so many things to get it to work and i can't believe this was it.

the fix to this is to just open it on a dark background, or turn on light mode, the reason it doesn't work is because it thinks the dark background is apart of the code

@baligo This worked!
I have connected my Android phone (GX) + Windows PC (GX) + Linux Mint (regular Opera)!

@marshallvisions Same here. Sadly, this solution, the only one that works, costs the entire flow history, a several years' worth of it. It got me really mad I see a similar functionality appearing in other apps, so I guess I'll be using Opera for now, but only until I find another option that works for me.

The user @kanczo suggested something in another related topic that worked for him and is now working for me as well. The 'fix' is outlined below:

"When your phone is on the 'Follow the instructions on the other device' screen, simply press the 'Overview' (app-switching) button and force-close Opera. When you relaunch Opera on your phone, the flow should already be connected."

I hope this works for all of you while Opera doesn't directly address this issue.

Thanks, @kanczo, for coming back and sharing your solution with us!
