How To: Change Default Media Player, Web Browser to Opera Mobile for Symbian^3

Scr000003 300x168 How To: Change Default Media Player, Web Browser to Opera Mobile for Symbian^3 The problem on the older of Symbian is the lack of support to change default web browser to other applications. But on the latest Symbian^3 devices, much more on the released Nokia N8 and C7, you can now tweak the settings of your default web browser and media player to your preferred one. So whenever you open a link or play media files it will easily use the selected applications instead.

UPDATE: Latest S60v5 FW updates gives support to changing your phone’s media and web apps. (Thanks for L for the heads up)

Here’s how:

For Symbian^3 Go to Settings>>Application Settings>>Default Applications>>Select your preferred and installed applications

For Symbian^1 Settings>>Phone>>App Set.

    It’s been possible on s60 v5 for a while -at least in the latest firmware of N97 mini. Just go to settings – phone – application settings and at the top of the menu you have default applications. (not sure on the translations of menu items as I don’t have the english version) Opera Mobile can chosen as default browser in addition to the native browser.

    The only option you can get to any of the ‘settings’ is to choose Opera as your browser, no other installs show up in this list, and you cannot choose manually. Even then when a browser is called it sometimes opens the default Web instead of Opera.

    So don’t get to excited about it.
