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.

Hey!
I have a problem whith my i856. I use openwave, it works slowly, but i just cant load gmail on it. A 400 or 404 error pops in all the time. Do you believe Opera mini will solve my problem?
Definately. I use Gmail in Opera Mini every day. The mobile and desktop “Basic HTML” versions both work great in Mini.
Dennis! Now the problem i found is to download opera mini. I’m writing from brazil and my i856 is nextel. I made the download of the from the site in my pc and send it via usb to my i856, but i cant find it in my phone! How can i make it work? I hope you can help me!!!
tksssss
You need to use iDenJAL to transfer apps from a PC to iDEN phones. Links and instructions here: How To: Install Apps and Games On iDEN Phones Using A Data Cable
Dennis! It worked! The app is now in my phone!
But… After starts stalling opera mini, comes a “Failed to connect to the internet” message. 🙁
Thats strange because in the openwave navigator its connecting normaly…
On iDEN, packet data which is what Opera Mini uses, is provisioned separately from WAP data for Openwave. You might have to ask your operator to enable packet data. aka “data for java apps”

Can i get opera mini on a sanyo incognito.? Thanx
Sure, visit http://mini.opera.com with the phone’s browser and click the download link.
How can I add the .jad line “iDEN-MIDlet-miniJIT: off”?
Open the JAD with a text editor and type or paste it in on a line of it’s own at the end of the page.
But the download files on this page already have it so you don’t need to.
Is their any software i can download so i can watch streaming video
No. Details in http://boostapps.com/help/
