Opera Mobile 9.5 beta 1Opera Mobile 9.5 is off to a healthy start, but like all beta software, Opera Mobile 9.5 beta has its fair share of bugs that still need to be worked out.

So, to keep up with their beta-users, Opera has released their first update for Opera Mobile 9.5 beta. The beta 1 update fixes an audio bug that turns off the notifications sounds. This particular update was apparently easy enough to roll out quick and dirty style, but more significant updates are going to take a bit more time.

We have updated the beta1 with a fix for the (very annoying) bug that turned off the notification sounds. The notification bugfix was relatively trivial and had a low risk. We are aware of the other bugs and issues, but these aren’t addressed in this update.

For anyone experiencing OOM (out of memory) errors, Opera suggests using WMExperts’ cache-file relocation workaround until an official bug-fix can be issued. Find the cache-file workaround here.
