Troubleshooting

Contents

Pages are reformatted

Web pages designed for PC screens do not normally fit on a phone. Opera therefore reformats pages when necessary. This function can be toggled on/off by pressing #.

Read more about display modes.

Out of memory

Make sure you have enough memory available for browsing with Opera.

Clear your phone of all unnecessary images, applications, other large files and messages.

During upgrade

You may get an out-of-memory message during installation if there is very little memory left on your phone.

  • Delete Opera's ".sis" file if you have already received a "Saving file to Installer" message
  • Delete other superfluous files

When starting Opera

Your phone will attempt to close open applications when Opera starts, if necessary.

If you still get an out-of-memory message, try closing other applications manually; you may also try restarting your phone.

While browsing

If a Web page is heavily loaded with images or other content, your phone may not be able to handle the entire page.

Turn off JavaScript. You should also set Opera to not download images.

More information

For more information about memory, please read the Requirements section or Opera's knowledge base.

Selecting a new IAP

If you select an Internet access point (IAP) that was not used when you last established a connection, your phone may sometimes not respond.

Reopen the Web address, and your phone will connect. You can also set Opera to connect automatically.

Upgrade difficulties

If you already have Opera installed on your phone and you experience problems while attempting to upgrade, open the "Tools > Manager" application and remove the old version of Opera before attempting a fresh install.

For more information, please consult the help documentation for your phone or the software you are using.
