Opera Mini Tips and Tricks

If you've been reading this blog for a while I'm sure you've noticed that I'm a big fan of Opera Mini, it's my favorite mobile browser. The first thing I do when I get a new phone is install Opera Mini on it. It seems like a lot of other people like Mini too.  GetJar reports that it's the most downloaded Java ME application of all time.  According to Opera, Mini has 21 million active users, more than the total number of iPhones or Nokia N95s sold to date.
Although Opera Mini is a great browser it's not always easy to install and configure.  There are also a lot of neat features that aren't obvious including some undocumented ones.  This is the first in a planned series of "Opera Mini Tips and Tricks" posts on Wap Review.  I recommend reading Opera's own official  Opera Mini FAQ and user forum first.  However, no one document can cover every potential issue or question.  I hope these posts will serve as a helpful addition to the official docs.
I'm going to start at the beginning, installing Opera Mini.  Opera's download sites, both the mobile and PC versions seem to confuse many users so here's a little FAQ on installing Opera Mini

Boost Up Internet Speed Without Software

Above 90% computers all over the world run Windows... and hence another computer trick.

FACT
But do you know that about 20% of your internet bandwidth is reserved by Microsoft.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Uses of Reserved Bandwidth
** Windows Automatic Updates rely on this reserved bandwidth.
** Fast loading Microsoft Websites
** Sending Error Reports
** Online Help support in Microsoft Office
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
But this can be recovered back...

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Remedy
** Start >> Run
** Type gpedit.msc
** This opens the Policy Editor
** Now, Local Computer Policy >> Computer Configuration
** Then, Administrative Templates >> Network
** Now, click on QOS Packet Scheduler
** Now, on Right hand side
** Double Click Limit reservable bandwidth
** Now in Setting Tab

********************* NOTE **********************
It says : Not Configured
Reality : The Explain Tab says "By default, the Packet Scheduler limits the system to 20 percent of the bandwidth of a connection"
***************************************************
** So, on Setting Tab select Enabled
** Now, change Bandwidth limit (%) to 0 (Zero)

********************** NOTE ********************
Misconcept : This don't means that you won't be able to communicate with Microsoft or any its services !!!
Actually : This reserved Bandwidth is only to accelerate Microsoft internet connections more than other connections !!!
****************************************************
