Sir,

                 can any one say in simple language, what is the difference between socket and http connection. Is http connection possible in opera mini? Which is best suited for economy in use and fee

[singhnsk · Accepted solution]

In socket mode, the connection to Opera Servers is kept open by Opera Mini, which means the pages will load a little faster (micro seconds) than what in HTTP mode as the connection doesn't needs to be re-established. Plus, socket mode allows the bookmarks and speed dials to be synced with opera link in real time whereas HTTP connection will do that when you load a new page.
For a complete explanation from Opera, go through the FAQ's at the following page:
www.opera.com/mobile/help/faq/#usage

As far as economy is concerned, you can use any mode. As the difference between the data transmission will be of a few bytes, that's completely negligible. Newer versions only provide a combined Socket/HTTP option. So you can keep using that.

Hey thanks for the link.

Adding to singhnsk post, if your opera mini stops loading web pages after initial use in socket mode, you can change the protocol type to http mode. It actually forces the connection to servers everytime you click on a link.

Hope this helps

Hi, Singhnsk and others, I thank for the quick response. I would also like to know, how to download the latest opera mini and set as my browser in my mobile . Could i have to go to the download folder to open and then close and open. Now , i am having 4.4 version, but 7.1 is available for my phone. How to set this 7.1 opera mini as default browser. My question has been moved by some moderator. Why?

[adrianhughes]

Don't quote me exactly, but from memory I believe that you cannot set Opera Mini as default browser. Or if it is, it is in the Settings > Applications.

If you can't set it as default, you can always create a link to the app on your homescreen, that's what I did on my old N8 running Belle Refresh.

[singhnsk]

You should browse to the directory of 4.4, press options and select Update Version. Newer version will be downloaded and updated.
Else open mini.opera.com on your phone and download the 7.x version from there

[ezreaderdocpdf]

when i open the browser, if i click the update , then it is going and going and never reaching the site. Could it be that my device does not support that much faster browsing. Why my question was moved .

Hi, I am having nokia 5130 xpress music which is s40 5th edition and you could clearly see that this phone is also included in the discussion main page.As alive appliance is a software, i asked in this forum

[adrianhughes]

Yes, and we answered your question here: http://discussions.nokia.com/t5/Asha-and-other-Nokia-Series-30/alive-app-is-it-applicable-for-nokia-...

No amount of hassling or haggling is going to change the fact of the matter. You will need to contact the developer of the app, it has nothing to do with Nokia.

Hi, Srikanthsd, thank you for your valuable additonal tip. But not only in opera , whenever a link is activated in my phone the efeect in brackets is the case .(when i open the browser, if i click the update , then it is going and going and never reaching the site. Could it be that my device does not support that much faster browsing).Does this mean my device does not support . One more thing, i have saved download pages in opera, but when i click on it it is again reaching reaching but i could not actually activate it. How to download saved pages in opera mini

[Srikanthsd]

So that could be because of problem with your network. You might need to activate your internet or there could be problem with the access point.
You can call your customer care for activating internet and for the correct access point name.
Also make sure to activate data plans to avoid additional costs.

Thats because you have already marked it as SOLVED against the post by singhnsk (Message 2)

@ezreaderdocpdf
Only one solution for one thread.

I think your internet is working fine now.
Can you share how did you solve your problem?

[ezreaderdocpdf]

Hi, Srikanthdsd,

                    No i do not know, whether my internet is working or not. But my gps is working and whenever i try to go to a site, it is going with opera mini with socket default option.  Every time i quit, i was charged for bytes browsed.But i could not download anything, and it at all download, it is shown as saved pages. I could not put that in to my device. I would be happy to know , if a solution is there?

[Srikanthsd]

First thing to do is to make your phone open the web pages. I don't think the phone has low speeds.

First
ask your customer care for correct access point.

1.
Copy the access point name you received from custome care to-
Settings-Connectivity-Packet data-Packet data setting,
edit active access point.
Give any name to active access point and activate it.

Now goto settings- configurations - personal config.- add new- web, give any name to web and press back twice.
Now again add new access point in personal configurations, give any account name to this access point.
Copy the access point name which you got from ccare to bearer settings- packet data access pt.
Press back three times and activate this access point.

Now in default config. Settings activate personal config.

Now all apps which need internet connection like
opera mini should work fine.

2.
Saved pages of Opera mini 4.x won't open with opera mini 7.x version.

Saved pages are stored with an extension .obml.
Connect memory card to your pc using a card reader,
you can find them by enabling hidden folders and searching .obml.
Now right click on any obml file of search results and click open file location or move them to any folder you like and
note down the files location.

Now goto saved pages of your opera mini, manage, set folder. Set the folder location to where .obml files are stored
Now your old saved pages can be opened.

Hope this helps.

By doing this everything related to internet should work fine, not only opera mini.

Hi, srikanthsd,

                           Thank you for your painstaking effort in answering. I can browse through opera mini. If i have to consult my ccare executive, then they may charge on monthly basis. Is it correct, Now, i am seeing and browsing limited . My default settings, has the service providers name. I do not want to name the service provider. Is that enough for browsing. Now, only browser bytes gets charged. If you, still have any views pl do write as this will immensely benefit the forum users. Kudos to you,again
