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.
Type: Freeware
Vendor: Opera Software – Product Page,Online Help, Forum
Data Connection Required: Yes
Supported iDEN phones: All Zeus Series (i9, i856) only
Same here, Opera Mini 5 Beta 2 hangs while installing on my i776. I’ve filled a bug report at http://mini.bugs.opera.com/ I suggest that everyone else who is seeing this issue do the same to show Opera how much their browser means to iDEN users.
Anyone have any luck getting Opera mini 5 beta 2 to load? I have not had any luck as of yet.
im loving the opera mini app. thnx a million. im on the i856w slider debut boost mobile.
Glen, a Java error during the Writing Flash or Allocating Flash phases of the install means that there is not enough free Flash memory space to complete the installation. Delete one or more apps or games until the install succeeds.
The pre-installed demos and bloatware are good candidates for deletion as you can always get them back by going to “Factory Pre-loads” in Download Apps and re-installing them.
