      Opera Mini Seems to Have Stopped Compressing Data.
      I am in UK and am using a Dutch Opera Mini server. Over the last couple of days I have noted that -although Opera Mini is stating that it is giving good compression ratios in Extreme mode - the Android app data usage shows similar to uncompresed data (and is nothing like the Opera Mini reported).
      This tallies with increased carrier data usage.

        @rogerm1314 I think you're right. Any way around this?

          Hi

          Using the latest Android Opera Mini on my phone. I don't believe it's compressing any more. Any way around this? It's using far more data than it used to

              @leocg both - extreme mode seems to work but is incompatible with Twitter, Reddit, most sites. I don't think the other 'High' mode is doing any compression?

                @booms81 As far as I know, extreme mode is the only that always compress data but may cause issues with many sites.
                The other modes will try to compress data when it's possible.

                  @leocg yes, I think that's where I see the problem. I don't think non-extreme mode is really doing any compression, even when I turn the image quality to low. I wonder if it's possible to use an older version, as I don't seem to be there only person seeing no compression.

                  Or does that not work as everything is being done (or not) server side?
