just installed opera mobile 8.6 expecting to get alot better performance and functionality than from PIE plus and the problem is that im not getting it

almost all the sites are hanging on looking up host... for a substantially long period of time and thats if it finds it, and when it does then sometimes it zooms thru setting up secure connection and loads the site really fast if its not to image intensive.

this delay is longer than a few seconds, im not that impatient, its more so like a minute or 2 at times, google.com shouldnt take that long to load

another issue is that after closing it, and clicking the IE softkey i have pointed to opera mobile (my newly default browser) or selecting it from my start menu, it wont load up, mainly because the opera.exe process isnt terminated correctly, so i open up my task manager and have to end task it everytime.

help please :(

try changing your dns servers to 4.2.2.1 and 4.2.2.2 or there are many other open dns servers. I as having similar issues with cingular dns lookups taking forever. this really helped me. I think opera has it's own page to set up dns servers, but I don't use it so i'm not sure.

I have found that Opera mobile SUCKS compared to IE... simply sucks... and when I found out that I can do a little function to view myspace... the choose was over.. PIE rocks...

the opera.exe process not being terminated correctly issue, somewhat solved itself within a few soft resets.

the looking up host issue taking forever isnt completely gone but i have noticed that i.e. www.google.com loads alot faster than google.com (if it loads)

ill deal with it, do look the browser tho, tabs are alot nicer than in PIE plus which limits ur viewing size of the site

another dead thread i guess, less some1 has any tips =)
