Opera Mobile/Skyfire not connecting to network
 

I recently upgraded to the latest Energy ROM on my Touch Pro. Since then I've installed Opera Mobile 10.5 and Skyfire 1.5. Neither of them are able to connect to the network (Opera Mobile does work over WiFi, haven't tested Skyfire). Opera Mini, IE, and other network enabled apps work fine. I'm pretty sure these apps worked under the Mighty ROM I previously had installed.

I'm on MetroPCS and all the setting seem to be correct (supported by the fact other apps work). Any thoughts on what I'm missing?

Re: Opera Mobile/Skyfire not connecting to network
 

So no thoughts or ideas on why some apps can connect to the data network and others can't? Just to add to the confusion Opera 9.7 (or whatever version that comes with the ROM) can connect to data network.

What am I missing here?

I think you need to install a carrier cab. I'm not really sure where to find one for metro though

Re: Opera Mobile/Skyfire not connecting to network
 

I am also on metro, and can't get the new skyfire or opera 10 to work through data connection either. Both do work when using wifi.

Maybe it is their software...I couldn't figure it out. The older Opera and Skyfire does work.

BTW, i am using SSK rom.

have you tried to turn on your data first then open the apps?

OMG i also have the same exact problem!!! finally , i have found people with the same problem as me! lol

Re: Opera Mobile/Skyfire not connecting to network
 

I don't know if this will help but this was in the Vogue forum for web and mms settings for metro. It might be worth a look :

Maybe you can compare the settings with what you've got. :)

sweet more people with the same problem lol i also am having the same thing only IE works....im on ski rom

Re: Opera Mobile/Skyfire not connecting to network
 

So anyone figure this out yet?

Re: Opera Mobile/Skyfire not connecting to network
 

@horndoctor, thanks for the posting...but the web, mms is working-not the problem...since IE, Opera 9.5, iris all work with its current settings...someone how the newer versions of Opera 10 and Skyfire doesn't seem to do so...the older versions do.

I saw other sites with similar postings with the same issues. No fix yet.

The Problem is that metropcs change there data network when they came out with samsung code you have to have the smart phone plan but it will only work on there phone so were out of luck but i herd the 3g network coming soon.......

Re: Opera Mobile/Skyfire not connecting to network
 

Same problem here opera 9.7 seems to run fine , but i cant get skyfire to work. I know skyfire works for the metropcs samsung code, so there must be a way to get it to work on the touch pro

Re: Opera Mobile/Skyfire not connecting to network
 

This is a known issue with Opera 10 beta + not connecting on MetroPCS. There is no fix that I know of yet. Just install Opera 9.7 or Opera 9.5 (Most stable). Opera 10 is in beta phase anyway.

ive given into this issue myself recently, does anyone know how to make 9.7 or 9.5 the default browser? im on the jan18 manilla 2.5 21xxx nrgrom

Re: Opera Mobile/Skyfire not connecting to network
 

just install a Opera 9.5 build 17963 <--CLICK THERE and it will take over opera 10 on energyrom without having to uninstall it.

Hope this helps

Re: Opera Mobile/Skyfire not connecting to network

Re: Opera Mobile/Skyfire not connecting to network
 

sometimes the rom has alot to do with it, skyfire used to work before, but stopped working quite a while ago
