Need help downloading Opera Mini

[migdier]

Can someone please assist me? I got my Shadow a couple days ago, I'm have the $5.99 't-zones' and am trying to download opera mini to browse the internet instead of using live, but I'm either getting errors. Am I doing something wrong? Or is Opera not supportd by the Shadow?

opera mini is a java app.

i havnt tried to use it. but i would imagine that you must use the java program on the phone to use java phone apps.

I did the upgrade posted earlier and did some changes to the settings to get the internet to actually work on the phone. I found a link here on allshadow to a how-to video on installing opera mini 4, but it said using the default manuf. settings. I'm now wondering if this is what is preventing me from doing the download.

I added the data plan for $19.99 and then changed the GPRS and proxy settings in Connections and everything is loading great now. I downloaded opera mini and it works like a charm.

I have the $5.99 t-zones plan myself is there a way I can get regular internet browsing with this plan? If there is can someone please tell me what I might need to changer in my Shadow to recieve this. Thanks in advance. M.T.

i installed both operamini and TCPMP a few days ago. right after the install they worked great, but the past two days the operamini says it "cannot connect to the internet" and the TCPMP says it cannot "open the file". i can connect to the internet using regular IE browser, just not the operamini. is this a recent problem with anyone else or is it just me? (the operamini has worked on occasion using wifi but not with the $5.99 internet)

Does anyone know how to fix this??

The java that comes with the phone is jeodek which doesn't support full screen I think. Try installing the jbed java, which does full screen. Jbed also supports internet connections over proxy (tzones) for your gmail / opera mini users.

Will this be smart enough to switch to WiFi when available?

Or will it always use the phone data connection?
