A friend on a social forum posted about a cool feature on Opera Mini 7, Power User Settings. Just type in the url box “about:config”, without the quotes of course. You will see settings that will improve performance, and get rid of one of the annoying features. 🙂
It is a cool feature, been using it for years, see:

Opera Mini Tips and Tricks
Hi! Would love this for my new LG 800g phone. Please let me know if it will work…I am just learning about this. Would be my 1st app. Thanks in advance for any assistance!
I have heard that Opera Mini 7.0 works with the LG 800g. Give it a try and let us know.
Hi Dennis. I am waiting for a mem card for my new LG 800g phone. As soon as I have it working I will try Opera Mini 7 and post.
Btw. There is nothing wrong with your phone, Opera has just changed the way they displayed your feeds.
Display by Feed no longer shows the number of feeds, it now jus highlights which feed has a new item by making that feed font in bold now.
awesome, thanks. It works perfectly now lol

Try it again, but do not use the fullscreen option. Using fullscreen will just cause endless crashes.
Btw, I am posting this tip with my Sanyo Innuendo using Opera Mini 7.
