Since the Report a Problem page isn't working today, I'll report this problem here.

Opera 43 - when I reload a page on the NY Times website, and possibly other news sites, a past (possibly yesterday's) edition appears, rather than today's edition that I've just been reading. Presumably from the cache, but maybe somewhere else?. Clearing browsing data including the cache doesn't seem to solve the problem. This has happened 3 or 4 times, but not every time I reload a page.

Reset sync data worked this morning. Thank you.

I continue to suggest that Opera post somewhere instructions on how to use the new sync system.

I was pleased to accidentally find out about the new Sync system when I signed in to the link page. The new system seems promising, but I'm having trouble.

I migrated my many bookmarks to the new server, and was pleased to see my bookmarks show up on my Macbook. Then they showed up in Opera on my android phone.

Then I made the mistake of installing the Developer edition 34 on the Macbook. When the bookmarks didn't sync, I migrated my bookmarks to the new sync server again, hoping to start the sync process in v. 34. Later, I reinstalled beta v. 33 on my Macbook because of another issue I was having with my keychain (not relevant to the sync problem). Again the sync didn't happen after I logged in to my Opera account. Again I migrated my data hoping to start the sync. Didn't help.

But then I noticed that the Speed Dial page on my android phone now takes 10 seconds or more for my speed dial entries to appear.

I took a look at the migration page again. It shows nonsensical data, such as that I have 21 devices and 495 open tabs. It says I have zero speed dials, but the slowness of my speed dial page populating on my android suggests to me that my 3 migrations have at least triplicated my data on the new sync server.

So I clicked the button to reset my sync data. A message appeared: An error occurred. Please try again later. The same error message has happened three times when I tried to reset my data.

Summary: 1. There are no instructions in Opera or on the Opera site explaining what to expect or how to trigger the new sync system, in particularly that it's supposed to start automatically on login. The sync process doesn't start on some occasions when I logged into my Opera account using beta v. 33.0.1990.35 and developer v. 34. If I'm right that my sync data is now triplicated on the sync server, there's no warning on the migration page not to migrate more than once. If I'm not right about that, why is the speed dial page on my android now taking 10 seconds or more for any of my icons to appear (the Opera version on my android is 29.0.1809.93516, which I've had for weeks and didn't reinstall or anything)? Finally, the button on the sync page to reset sync data doesn't seem to be working.

HELP

Hi, emoller

This is for Opera's information.

Further to my last post, and for no reason I know, the last beta for Opera 29 works very well, without any of the problems that the final version of Opera 29 has. This is true even with Tile Compression set to Default, therefore enabled. Pages load quickly, including from the cache, no delays at all.

This could be simply an installation problem, even though I uninstalled and reinstalled the final version a couple of times. But I'm going to retain the beta version and uninstall the final version. Even though they both have exactly the same build no.

Hopefully Opera can figure this out before they issue the next final version.

hi, emoller

You mentioned that the link you provided had not been updated to the beta for version 30. Thinking that the Google Play Store link might not have been updated either, I installed Opera beta from Google Play. It appears to install Opera 29 final. Both the final version and the version called beta are version 29.0.1809.92117. Tile Compression is set to Default in the beta version. The logo is white and labelled Opera Beta, but it appears to be the final version.

Anyway, it appears my request to you was mistaken. I reread the post from operamilleson above. I now realize what perhaps should have been obvious. The betas of version 29 would all have had Tile Compression implemented. So there's no point in my trying to revert to a beta version of Opera 29 to escape any settings that might account for the remaining problems I'm having. Please forget my request for a download location. Sorry to have wasted your time.

Thanks for your many useful posts.

Is there a site where I can download the last beta for Opera 29 for android? I would like to try it again to see if it solves my remaining problems with the final version. Thank you.

Further to my May 20 comment, disabling Tile Compression made a huge difference. Pages load quicker and pages loaded from the cache are much quicker, even though I'm using turbo most of the time. But Opera 29 has other problems.

On theglobeandmail.com, occasionally the page doesn't load successfully when started from Speed Dial. The X shows the page is trying to load, but nothing happens. And when I click on a news story, one time out of 5 the story doesn't load successfully, and I see a blank page. I have to hit reload or sometimes have to return to the main page and click the story again. The same happens on reuters.com.

I didn't notice these problems in the last beta for Opera 29, although I only used it for about a week. Were any internal settings other than Tile Compression changed in the final version of Opera 29? Turning off Tile Compression made a big improvement. I'd be glad to change any other setting that might be responsible for the above problems. And I will report the results if you can suggest anything I should try out.

By the way, Opera 29 is using a lot of memory, as evidenced by the fact that the HTC Sense user interface gets crowded out of memory, and must reload itself when I close Opera. I'd rather live with this than the problems I mentioned above until Opera solves the memory problems.

I'm also curious to know why I tell Opera to save the password for my ISP homepage time after time but the password isn't saved until the tenth try or so.

This thread may have prevented me from abandoning Opera. I installed the last beta of Opera 29 because of Opera turbo, and real synchronization (I thought). The beta looked very good. Then Opera 29 final appeared. I replaced the beta with the final, and everything got really slow. So slow that I've run an anti-spyware program to see if I'm infected and I installed task managers to see if something was eating up processor cycles. Nothing made any real difference.

One of the features of v. 29 was supposed to be improved cache management. Even reloading pages from the cache was irritatingly slow.

The tile compression feature looks to me (an ex-programmer) like a workaround to try to fix poor memory management at the expense of processor cycles. Maybe Opera should try to fix the underlying problem.

My HTC Sensation 4G was a high-end phone 4 years ago. Processors are quicker now, apparently, but my phone is not slow even now. No other app is slow. I bought a high-end phone so I wouldn't have to replace it too soon. There's still no reason for me to replace this phone.

But Opera had me wondering. Something was slowing my phone down.

I just disabled tile compression. Things look much better but I don't use the phone much at night. I'll let you know in a couple of days whether this has fixed my problem. If it does, then I'll suggest the Opera not make the assumption that everybody has the latest and greatest hardware. Keep a few older phones around to see whether this kind of processor-intensive workaround will work without wasting several days of my time trouble-shooting.

Same problem.

Opera 26.0.1656.24. Windows 7 Pro 64-bit.

When is Opera going to fix this permanently? It is one of the reasons I can't recommend Opera to other people. It's annoying and it's amateurish. Just because there's a workaround doesn't mean that Opera can let this problem go unresolved. Most people don't look at forums for solutions. They move on to something that doesn't have the problem.
