        @efolch yeah, same here. I don't even use vpn. I have an Samsung A53 (Android 13) and it's just like you said: opens than closes inmediately. I've also tried everything - more than once, but didn't work 😞 I have other device, with an old android's version and it's working just fine. Not a Samsung though. Don't know what could be but really hoping they fix as soon as possible.

          Tried with an older Samsung device, S5lite tablet, and Opera works just fine there, though the firmware is old. Maybe there's something between latest Samsung firmwares, or phone form-factor vs. tablet, that makes Opera go nuts. BTW, Opera Beta behaves exactly the same, so there's no fix there (yet?).

          Is there any moderator around here? It looks like this is a pervasive issue among Samsung phones. Would love to have an status update.

                    @leocg Looks like you're a moderator for the Opera/Android forum.

                    Reading through this post there seems to be a common problem with latest Android/Opera/Samsung combo.

                    Couple of Q's:

                    • Should we change the title to something to refer specifically to Samsung? (if so, I don't think I can do it, maybe you can?)
                    • Do you have any insights about what might be going on? Or a way to track the referred support case? Or a contact within Opera devels?

                    Thanks

                          Same problem for me:
                          Samsung S21 FE
                          Android 13
                          Opera and Opera Beta crash as soon I try to open the app
                          Opera Mini works perfectly.

                          Solved Removing The Samsung Personal Area.
                          Once uninstalled the personal area the Opera App back to normal behavior and works.
                          I suppose there is something that doesn't work between Opera and Personal Samsung Personal Area in Android 13 UI 5.0

                            Very disappointed at the complete non response in relation to this issue.

                            I've sent four emails to Opera support detailing the details in relation to the app crashing and sent them a screen recording too.

                            Received no response whatsoever.

                            As a result I've deleted the app and I was a long term user and supporter of Opera.

                              @markiet18 100% agree. This thread has been open for more than a month with no response from opera. Horrible customer support.

                                      @miyukiwork Hi Miyuki,

                                      First of all, thank you for paying attention to this bug.

                                      Now, to your suggested tests, none of them worked for me 😞

                                      Test 1:
                                      I use "Nova Launcher" as the default app launcher, instead of "One UI". Nevertheless, before creating the bug report, I tried switching to the vanilla One UI from Samsung and the behavior was the same. Now, I deleted cache and data for One UI and the behavior is still the same, whether I'm using One UI or Nova Launcher: Opera screen opens and closes inmediately.

                                      Test 2:
                                      Android Webview version 108.0.5359.128, last update: 13-dec-2022. Uninstalled/reinstalled, still same behavior. Attaching screenshot (catalan language):
                                      Screenshot_20230112_145528_Google Play Store.jpg

                                      Let me know if there're more test you want me to try or more info about detailed version numbers for OS/models/Operas, etc.

                                      Thanks again,
                                      Enric

                                          Another favor for those who can connect to a debugger. Can you send in logs when the crash happens? We are trying to reproduce the issue, but not succeeded so far. Please use: gp-support-opera-android@opera.com

                                            I have adb connected and adb logcat spits out a lot of log lines, but I don't think you need them all.

                                            What filter/command line do you need there?
