Sharp ROMs / How To Change Font Size In Opera?

« on: March 07, 2006, 07:25:08 pm »

I love Opera but it's irritating to have to scale the graphics whenever I want to increase the size of fonts in web pages.

I looked at the ~/.opera/opera6.ini and tried changing values in it but they're just ignored.

Is there a file somewhere else that has the font setting?

I also tried making the opera.ini file not writeable by the zaurus user but to no avail. It just deletes it and makes another one with the old 6pt font size.

I then tried chowning the .opera directory to root and giving it ownership of opera.ini but it still didn't work, although the edited file is still there at least.

Question regarding the HTC Universal: How on earth is it possible to get it to work as a phone in Linux? Don't you need some sort of proprietary software from a phone company?

Please forgive the self-bump but I really would like this question answered. I have a 2.4.20 kernel and can't believe I'm the only one here with this problem. Apparently no one else has the same wifi card?

I have a Spectrum 24 wifi card from my Wince days which uses the Orinoco kernel modules. My 3100 doesn't have these installed, however.

Where can I go to d/l them? I looked in the Cacko feed but didn't see anything.

Thanks

thats strange... did it work with another wlan-card?

try to make the following in the configuration of the account:
go to config-tab
there chose: "Non-Spec ESS-ID"

this is the auto mode... this should work normally.

what happens if you untick in the PPPoE tab "Use PPPoE Authentification"?
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=94033\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

I checked the Non-spec option but it still won't enable the Connect button.

And checking non-spec disables the PPPoE Auth tab entirely.

EDIT: for the wlan: you should just get the wlan option in the network configuration app... then you normally should be able to connect (after configuring... but also auto-config runs nice).

Thanks for the reply MONVMENTVM. I did choose the wlan option there but it still won't let me connect unless I put something in the PPPoE option.

Well guys, thanks to the recommendations of everyone, I ordered a 3100 and received it yesterday.

For future Google searchers, here'a little mini review plus some questions for more experienced folks.

Mini Review
It's a very cool looking computer and I can just see the possibilities of the device. I love the rotating screen feature and the display is nice and sharp.  The keyboard is not as good as my prior palmtops, the HP 200LX and the HP Jornada 720. Overall, the unit feels very sturdy and of higher quality than my perpetually breaking J720. The internal CF hard drive is also nice and good for storing media files.

The suspend feature works well but I've been annoyed that I can't turn on the Z without opening it up.

Software-wise, the application manager (whatever it's really called, I haven't a clue) looks nice and is quite customizable. One annoying thing about it is that it doesn't show up in the taskbar at the bottom of the screen. The only way to view it is to push the home key or exit all the programs.

The PDA apps are okayish for my use except for the contacts app. The movie player works but sometimes takes a long time on large files and scrambles their sounds.

Newbie Questions

* I have a Symbol Spectrum24 LA4100 wifi CF card that I would like to use with my Z. I looked at the network control panel but it won't let me even try to connect unless I enable PPPoE which I don't even have. Is there a text file I can edit somewhere?

* How do I make a dollar sign?

* Where's the best place to download apps for the 3100?

If not that, personally I would go with Verizon - their  EV-DO network is much better that EDGE (in my area, anyway) - it has both better bandwidth and lower latency.

If you are gonna get a new phone anyway and shelling out $80 or so a month for unlimited data, I would strongly suggest to take a look at Verizon and Moto E815. Assuming that Verizon has a good coverage in your area, of course.

I wish I could but unfortunately, I recently sold my soul to Cingular for another 2 year contract

Thanks everyone for the comments. I finally took the plunge and moments ago ordered a 3100 from conics.net.

I have a v551 on cingular and have surfed using a bluetooth connection to my laptop.  Since I haven't used any other data service before, I cannot tell you how it compares.  It feels like surfing at 56K.

But it is EDGE on your phone, though?

So does anyone here use Cingular as their EDGE provider? I'm moving toward getting a Bluetooth phone with EDGE. Someone told me the Motorola V551 was EDGE capable but the Cingular site doesn't have mention it:

Not sure if that's what you are looking for, but I use my C1K to connect to the net via bluetooth link to Nokia 6230b phone that is a class 10 edge device. I have a usb cable too, but still prefer the flexibility of bluetooth wireless connections.

How hard was it to set up like that? Do you ever find it inconvenient to have to carry both devices around? What about using them on the go? Could I stick the phone in a pocket and use the Z in my hand?

It's been a while since my last posts here, I've still not decided on whether to buy a 3100 or get a Treo 650. I know I can use the Z as a PC far more than a Treo, but I really like the Treo's integrated EDGE support and its ability to function as a phone.

Has anyone managed to do either of these things on a Z?
