Opera Mini 5.1
A new version of Opera Mini was released today that is supposed to work better on phones with small screens (less than 200 px wide) and/or low memory (less than 4 MB free Java Heap). If Opera Mini 5.1 detects that it is running on a phone with low resources it uses a simplified user interface with a text rather than icon based start screen to reduce memory usage. There’s also a new *+0 shortcut to quickly switch between desktop and mobile view
I had high hopes that this would work on my i776 but it doesn’t. Just like with 5.0, the app installs and starts up displaying a “loading” progress bar that takes over 10 minutes to reach 90%, at which point the app hangs! I’m posting it for those of you who have a model like the i856, i9 and possibly the i465 that 5.0 worked on. This version of Opera Mini 5.1has been modified to install alongside of Opera Mini 4.1 and 5.0 rather than replacing them.

Opera mini has stopped working as of sometime in the past couple of days. All attempted connections return Unable To Connect – Authentication Error – P lease Check Your Date Settings. It may have something to do with the switch to daylight saving time, though my phone did update itself on schedule. Bolt, MujMail, and the phone’s built in browser seem to be unaffected.
My Opera’s still working.
That error’s usually caused by the date on the phone, especially the year, being wrong.
My Rambler doesn’t even let me set the date so I don’t know how you would fix it.
I’d try a battery pull and if that fails to fix it, removing and replacing the Opera.
i got a samsung seek but i do not get the app sent to my phone.
The Send to Phone button is only for iDEN phones. For a CDMA phone like the Seek, go to http://boostapps.com/apps/opera-mini-5-1/ with the phone browser and click the JAD file link to install.
Dennis, WOW, I’m really impressed with this Opera Mini 5.1. Now i can finally have real internet on my I9. Its night and day difference between the very limited mobile browser that came with the phone and the opera mini. Its not only faster, but when I google something, it actually gives me lots of choices. Your site has really brought my phone experience way up from just a device to make calls with. The system may be slower than other carriers, but saving over $700 dollars a year over other carrier costs, sure takes the sting out of the slower speeds. Its a trade of I can live with. Thanks Dennis, Tony
you can watch videos on the sanyo incognito
thank you so much dennis….i figured it out. This incognito is the best boost phone i have ever had. Opera mini 5 really does a lot. I am glad because both the comps have viruses. Now i dont need them….i got my phone:-)
