Fix For Opera Mini 4.2 Crashing On Motorola i9 and i856
Motorola has discovered an issue with the Java Virtual Machine on Zeus Series phones (currently the i9 and i856) that affects Opera mini. It causes these phones to reboot while browsing with both Opera Mini 3.1 and 4.2. The rebooting can be prevented by adding the following line to the application’s .jad file:
iDEN-MIDlet-miniJIT: off
If you want a slightly longer technical explanation it’s here.
If you have an i9 or i856 you should use this version of Opera Mini 4.2. Users of other models should use the generic version as the iDEN-MIDlet-miniJIT: off directive will cause a performance degradation on anything except the i9 and i856.
If you already have Opera Mini 4.2 on your phone, Download Apps will not automatically prompt you to install the new version after downloading it. You need to go to Java Apps, highlight Opera Mini, press the menu key and choose “Update”. Say yes to the prompt “Keep existing application data” so you don’t lose your bookmarks.

Ooh, and I know this isn’t the place to post it, but will boost ever come out with wireless routers? I’m saving up for a laptop, and would like to get a router powered by boost. There’s Sprint, but I don’t want to pay too much for internet :-s
It’s not the best phone ever but it was a different boost company supposably… Will boost 50 /mo plan ever make a stronger clutch? I love boost, but the limited web use is really making me want to get a BlackBerry and stick with T-Mobile lol
Aww! Lucky! I really like my clutch, and boost. But when will boost come out with better phones? A representitive told me there’s a slider coming out. It’s not gonna be an iDEN model is it? I remember last year I use to have the c290, not the best (cont.)
Java apps are limited to 242 characters of text in an edit bo on all Motorola iDEN phones. It’s a phone limitation not an Opera Mini one so modding wouldn’t help. On my Nokia phone I can enter 4000 characters in the same app.
See? That’s where it ends. That is VERY limited for me. And I would use Open Wave to type, BUT it’s slow, and if I recieve a call or text and outter transmition, everything I typed disappears! :'( sorry to post so many comments, but please help.
