Opera's rendering of the pages confuses me. Check for m.wpcentral.com in UC/IE and Opera mini. Apologies for not posting screenshots.

Strange! try installing it on phone storage.

I used Storage Sense and moved it from SD card to the phone memory. Still it crashes on opening. I have tried it on both Wi-Fi and data connection but in vain.

I even un-installed and re-installed the app and still its not working. Sucks big time !

 

[Ashish Gupta888]

Instead of moving installed app to Phone storage, I would suggest to uninstall it first and then make a change in storage sense settings to store app in phone storage and then reinstall it. That may help!

Hi Guys, I recently posted a link to a work around I found in adding bing http://forums.windowscentral.com/wpcentral-com-news-discussion/309773-opera-mini-browser-beta-windows-phone-now-available.html#post2757105 as your default search engine which has been updated to my recent findings / experiences. In order to consolidate these, I'm going to double post here with some wording tweaks otherwise it wouldn't make sense:

According to Legoboyii (link below), you can add a search engine via a long press on the search bar - this was the first thing I tried and did not work for me also on various re installs (hence why you see the attached screenshots in guide linked above have no particular order ). However I just re-installed again and confirm his method works, but appear to be suffering from stability issues as I cannot load any websites let alone reload bing.com. Furthermore the search engine now defaults to Google.com upon restarting the app. When i posted the guide I tested it via cold boot & soft reset yet the app loaded with Bing as the default search engine.

To compound matters another re-install has resulted in the app now crashing on first start up therefore cannot get past the T & C screen to accept. This is truly a unstable build...

Edit: Re-installed, did a cold boot, app still crashes, soft reset and app still crashes before loading the T & S after another re-install. This is looking more and more like an alpha / nightly build to me lol...

Very disappointed ... Since upgrading to 8.1, IE is rubbish on my phone, so Ive gone to UC Browser which isn't great, so I was hoping Opera Mini would be a better option ...

Unfortunately after installing, it wont even open & crashes out straight away. ... very disapointed

It's a beta, not even 1.0 version.

I know its a beta ... but it would be nice if it even started ...

 

[Legoboyii]

Long pressing is how you're supposed to add search engines the normal way.
Here is the screenshot i posted on my quick guide about the render bug for bing.

I agree, I can't even get the silly app to load anymore.. instant crash on loading lol.

I'm surprised there are 43 reviews but there I can't see any reviews (currently rated at 3.1)... just get "No one has reviewed this yet", guess it is going to take time for the reviews to populate.

 

[Biggzie666]

I added a review before I uninstalled it ... its not there though

Guess it takes longer then a few hours for the reviews to populate?

Unless opera have a guy sitting in the corner deleting reviews the moment one is left :winktongue: .

I cannot open the app as it crashes when ever I try to launch it.

Using a 920 on 8.1.1

Not able to access youtube videos on Opera Mini. when i click on some video to play, it says you need to install an app for this task and when i click yes it says no app available.

Today finally I got the mail from Opera with the link. There was an update available for the app. after installing the update, the app is opening properly and working.

 

[CGA1]

Mine worked before the update, now it crashes, what gives.

 

[wadrythm]

[Ashish Gupta888]

Yup..its crashing when I launch any website after latest update.
