App crash in attempt to type any letter on address bar. Nexus S running ICS.

Fixed in latest beta. Another issue is with Google search engine and perhaps other g services since v24. Is not clear why after 2-3 toggles (any, especially GPU override included) in opera:flags page result a crash instead Google search results. Same Nexus without g/sw/network localization engaged, that being said because via mock location is even worse.

  • fresh install and initialization
  • check any url address and save as speeddial
  • now address bar is not functional, app stalls until closing.
    Where is the glitch, on phone partition (storage?) or app closes itself?

You got a background filter similar with Bigtincan app which doesn't use the local webserver.

Perhaps this issue with back button isn't related to opera at all, but I've just recently start to use it again (because of the bookmarks) and notice this problem.

When in any other application buttons work ok.
When on home or app screen, back button doesn't work at all, and long pressing menu button opens opera. This occurs also if opera is is closed normally or force closed from apps settings.

Data savings worsened going from 82% (Presto) to 30% in the beta.

Hopefully these issues can be worked on as I get the feeling Opera wants to eventually retire the Presto servers and repurpose them for other uses.

But you did this to me! You made me always expect high quality from Opera. ^^

Swipe up for search from Android... you should be able to swipe up from bottom bar (where it's visible) - the one that has 'back', 'home' and 'apps' button.

My phone has capacitive buttons. You meant the gesture for Google Now (aka "Search assistant") which I configured to long-press Home.

This shortcut to Opera from anywhere is amazing!!

Haha, I remember how I was upset about the previous version. Now that looks at least interesting!

At least?! πŸ˜‰

How?? I'm unable to perform / enable this. Considering I'm in CM's Android 4.4...

Can you keep it consistent with the desktop version? You added an unremovable bookmarks tile to the Speed Dial, it makes no sense to have it there. Put it in the menu or in swipe to the right (History/SD/Bookmarks/Discover views). How will you treat the Speed Dial items' positions when sync comes back since there's no correspondent tile in the desktop version?

This is beta πŸ˜‰

These are not the mini servers you're looking for, if you play media files save more, https links can't save anything. πŸ˜‰ Oopsing is normal for a while, don't kill activities or or background processes (note that some apps does that by default) since Opera doesn't loose the RAM anyway.

Opera stable version saves about 85% where beta version can't even save 10%. Another problem is beta version is giving me an error like "oops! something went wrong" while loading many pages. Tried clearing data & reinstalling which didn't work. Stable version doesn't have such problem.
