Browsers w/Java?

**tommc4** · 12-01-2006, 08:06 PM

I was wondering if there are any decent browsers for the Treo...Blazer sucks; I cannot do my online banking w/o Java. Also, the Blazer browser in the Cingular 680 has no disconnect feature...once you are online, the only way to disconnect is either to work through the prefs to the network & then disconnect, or turn the phone off then back on. both of those methods suck as well!

Hope you folks can hep out!

OK, Many thanks for the info on MiniOpera...they tell me I need this IBM Java VM, now where the hell is that? All I can find on Palm's site is an upgrade...gotta love these guys!

Thanks in advance!

Here's a thread with a great post by benjie that should help get you going.

Some people have great luck installing the Java based application via hot sync (I have no problem doing so) and others get nowhere. Others have great luck installing the Java based application via email attachment (I have no problem doing so) and others get nowhere. Othsers have great luck installing the Java based application via their web browser (I have no problem doing so) and others get nowhere. And some just cannot do so.

Good luck.

I installed Opera Mini and I used your instructions for the java dl in another thread...However, Opera keeps crashing when I try to suft the web? i will get halfway to the site and it will reset?

There is a preference setting for allowing more memory. IBM Java Preferences --> enable the Use Double Buffering option, set a maximum memory (I use 8mb) and set the Maximum Java Thread Stack size (I use 32kb). Too low a value causes problems. Also, there are times when Opera Mini becomes emotional.

I was just messing with that and I got it to work!

I cannot believe the differences in speeds between opera and blazer

Yep, though frankly it is still not what I would consider anywhere near ready to be released. The more you play with it...
