September 13, 2011 · by Aleksander Aas

Your favorite Android browser just got another update! This second update for Android: closes a security loophole introduces support for large-screen compatibility mode introduced in Honeycomb provides improved support for Samsung Galaxy devices and much more!

Some rather random crashes and stability issues has also been solved. With so many awesome new Android devices out there, it's amazing to see how versatile Opera Mobile for Android is.

There has been a lot of discussion around application permissions for Android lately. Want to know more about what permissions Opera Mobile requires and why? It's all in the Opera Mobile forums. We would love some feedback on this release in the comments. If you have any issues, just use the report a problem link found under help in Opera Mobile!

Opera Mobile is free as always, and available from the Android Market or m.opera.com!

An update, but with the exact same version number? What a shitty way of confusing everyone..

Fixes problems introduced by the last update, but there've been some cookie problems for several consecutive builds now.

forum.androidcentral.com is one of the most aggravating sites with this issue; I need to "Log In" about five times consecutively to post one reply.

A number of semi-serious usability issues on my HTC Evo 4G running Android 2.3.3

The biggest is that it doesn't stay running or save state whenever my phone sleeps. I have to constantly re-start opera and re-open whatever page(s) I was browsing. Unfortunately, this alone makes it nearly unusable for any sustained uses.

Great news!
Cutting SpoonWednesday, September 28, 2011 4:35:19 PM
Pat, that seems very strange. My phone (Echo) has 2.3.4 and does not experience this issue.

One suggestion for opera for android team.
When a user click on a video then along with downloading option it would be better to provide a play option as well..
