Troubleshooting issues on Android

When you encounter an issue and you’re trying to determine whether you can fix it yourself or need to report a bug, follow the steps below. Remember that in many cases it’s important to reload the web page for any changes to take effect.

Restart the app

Sometimes the simplest things help, so exit the browser, and hopefully on restart the issue will be gone.

To exit Vivaldi on Android, open the Vivaldi menu and select Exit. Closing the app via the phone’s home button or from the app switcher menu does not fully exit the app.

If you’ve kept your mobile device on for a long time, restarting the device may help as well.


Update the app

In case you’ve turned off automatic updating of apps, check for updates manually from the Play Store or from the app store you installed Vivaldi from.

In case you installed the .apk version of Vivaldi, download the latest version of the browser from Vivaldi.com.


Reset flags

Experiments are a great way to test new features that are being developed. But these features are hidden behind flags for a reason – they can still be buggy. If you’ve experimented with flags and suddenly Vivaldi doesn’t work as it should or crashes altogether, go back to the default settings.

To reset flags:

  1. Go to vivaldi://flags;
  2. Tap on Reset all in the top right corner;
  3. Tap on Relaunch at the bottom of the window to restart the browser.

On rare occasions, the browser needs to be restarted twice for the experiments to be fully reset.


Disable Tracker and Ad blocker

Website functionality may depend on elements with trackers that are blocked by the Tracker and/or Ad blocker. Click on blocker shield button Content Blocker on the left side of the address bar to disable blockers and test the website.

To change blocking settings globally, go to Vivaldi menu > Settings > Privacy > Tracker and Ad Blocking > Default blocking level.


Enable (Third-Party) Cookies

Cookies are used for a lot more than tracking users’ browsing habits. Sometimes websites require Third-Party Cookies to display content that was originally posted on a different site. For example, embedded videos or Vivaldi Blog’s comment section.

To check your cookie settings:

  1. Go to Vivaldi menu > Settings > Site Settings > Cookies;
  2. Select Allow cookies;
  3. Test the website where the issue occurs.

Delete Browsing Data

Websites get updated all the time, but information about the old version of the site is still stored in cache files and Cookies. This may cause discrepancies in the displayed website and occasionally even break functionality.

In addition, storing old browsing data for a long time will use up your device’s memory space, so deleting it every now and then can have a positive effect on the browser’s speed as well.

To delete browsing data in Vivaldi on Android:

  1. Go to Vivaldi menu > Settings > Privacy > Clear browsing data.
    Alternatively, go to Panels > History panel and tap on Clear Data at the bottom right corner of the screen.
  2. Select the data you want to delete;
  3. Tap on Clear data.

Check Android settings

Android operating system’s settings may effect, how Vivaldi functions. Check and change the settings that might affect Vivaldi and test the issue again.


Disable other apps

In case you’re using apps that can affect Vivaldi (e.g. VPN), try browsing with them disabled to see if the bug is still there.


Test the Snapshot version of Vivaldi

Sometimes the bug you’re encountering has already been fixed and is being tested in the Snapshot version of the browser. In that case, you just need a little patience until the fix is released in the Stable version.

On Android, you can install the Snapshot version of the app from Google Play Store.

Since Vivaldi is based on Chromium, we sometimes inherit bugs from upstream. If that’s the case, you’ll likely be able to reproduce the bug in other Chromium-based browsers. In that case, please report the bug to the Chromium team.


Found a bug?

When you’ve followed the steps listed above and you can consistently reproduce the issue, please discuss it on our Forum. There, our Community members can test on their devices and either confirm the bug or suggest a fix for the issue. Some of them can also tell you whether the devs are already aware of the bug or a new bug report should be created.

To report a bug first check our bug reporting guidelines and then go to vivaldi.com/bugreport to file it.

Locked Vivaldi account

With your Vivaldi account you can use the following services:

When you’ve tried logging in and it fails with an error message saying that the account is locked, these could be the reasons.

Account hasn’t been activated

Before logging in for the first time, you need to activate the account with a code from an email we sent to the email address you gave as the recovery email during registration.

Please check your mailbox (including the Spam folder) for the email and activate the account. Then try logging in again.

In case the code has expired or you can’t find the email, send yourself a new account activation email.

If you know you made a typo in the recovery email or gave an invalid email address, please reach out to us using the contact form at the end of this article.

Vivaldi Webmail

Vivaldi Webmail is a service for active Vivaldi Community members using Vivaldi’s services. This means that new users, who registered their account after 4th of May 2023, and users who registered between October 2019 and May 2023, but never verified their phone number, first need to build up a reputation to be granted access to the Webmail service.

The reputation system is replacing the previous requirement to verify an account via one’s phone, that was set up to limit the number of spam accounts. For additional information, read our blog post on the topic.


Used the wrong password too many times

In case you’ve forgotten your password and have tried logging in with the wrong password at least 5 times, the account will get locked for 5 minutes as a security measure. When the 5 minutes have passed, reset the login password to access your account again.


Account got locked for breaking Vivaldi’s Terms of Use

When you’re breaking Vivaldi’s Terms of Use on any of our services, the whole account will be locked and logging in to Vivaldi services will no longer be possible. Some blocking, for example due to misbehaviour on the Forum, is done manually by Forum admins and moderators. Other, such as spamming in Webmail, is mostly done automatically by our antispam filters.

If you feel this blocking has been done in error, please reach out to us and explain what happened. We’ll look into the issue.

Event layouts

There are 3 different event layout options available in Vivaldi Calendar:

  • Full – Shows the event time, title, description, location and link of the event.
    Calendar view with the full display option enabled
  • Compact – Shows the same as above, but if the description or link info are too long only limited amount of that info will be displayed.
    Calendar view with the compact display option enabled
  • Minimal – Only event time and title are shown.
    Calendar view with the minimal display option enabled

To switch between these views, click on the layout buttons in the top right corner of the Calendar tab, next to the Filter and Search field. Alternatively, change the view in Settings > Calendar > Calendar Settings > Events Layout.


Calendar spacing

In Vivaldi, the time slots in the calendar don’t have fixed widths and heights and longer events don’t necessarily take up more space. Instead the time slots adjust according to the amount of information you have about the event. Meaning, an event with a long title and description lasting only for an hour can take up more space than a 5 hour long event with a short title and description.

Calendar Settings

In Settings > Calendar you can manage your Calendar accounts and their calendars. In addition, you can adjust various settings for the Calendar interface and for managing events.

Calendar display

Show event property icons

By enabling the option Show Icons for Event Properties you can see whether the event information includes a link and a location, whether it’s a recurring event and if it’s a task or not.

Show week number

In Settings > Calendar > Calendar Display you can toggle the visibility of week numbers.

In Day, Week, Multiweek, Month and Agenda view week numbers will be shown on top of the page, next to the currently shown date range. In Month and Year view, week numbers are shown in front of the week rows.

To decide which day the week starts with, go to Settings > General > Language > Preferred Date & Time Format.

Event views

There are 3 different view options available in the Vivaldi Calendar. They can be changed from Settings > Calendar > Calendar Display > Events View or from the top right corner of the Calendar tab.

  • Full – Shows the event time, title, description, location and link of the event.Calendar view with the full display option enabled
  • Compact – Shows the same as above, but if the description or link info are too long only limited amount of that info will be displayed.Calendar view with the compact display option enabled
  • Minimal – Only event time and title are shown.Calendar view with the minimal display option enabled

Day settings

For day and week view you can adjust the core hours of your day to fit your routine. Set the day’s start time and and end time in Settings > Calendar > Calendar Display > Day Settings. In addition, you can decide whether to show the time slots outside your core hours in the Calendar or not by enabling or disabling Collapse out of Day Hours.

Time increments

In Day and Week view you can divide each time slot into smaller increments. You can choose between 15 minutes, 30 minutes and 1 hour in Settings > Calendar > Calendar Display > Time Increments.

You can also choose, whether you want the dividing lines between these smaller timeslots to be visible (like on the screenshot below) or not by toggling on or off the setting for Show only 1 Hour Grid Lines.

Furthermore, when navigating the calendar with your keyboard, you can decide, whether you’ll focus on each 15 or 30 minute time slot (like on the screenshot above) or just on the full hour. Toggle the setting Use 1 Hour Increments for Keyboard Navigation on or off according to your preference.

Default action for clicking on time slots

When navigating the calendar a single click on a time slot can either focus on the selected period or open the event editor. You can choose which you prefer in Settings > Calendar > Calendar Display > Click on Time Slot Should. When you’ve chosen to select a period, then to start creating a new event, double click on the time slot.

Default action for clicking outside the event

Normally, you’d click Done or Cancel/Delete when you’re finished with editing an event, but you can also just click outside the event editor. You can decide what happens when you do that in Settings > Calendar > Calendar Display > Click Outside Event Should. You can either discard the changes you were making or you can save them.


Calendar editing

Edit mode

In Vivaldi Calendar you can create and edit events either inline, meaning in the calendar view itself, or in a popup dialog. Choose the one you prefer in Settings > Calendar > Calendar Settings > Edit mode.

Inline event editor
Popup event editor

Default event duration

If most of your events are the same length, it can save you a few clicks when you set the default event length to match it. Go to Settings > Calendar > Calendar Editing > Default Event Duration to choose the a length between no duration (event start and end time are the same) to 8 hours.

Default event reminder

To automatically set a reminder for all events at your chosen time, go to Settings > Calendar > Calendar Editing > Default Event Reminder and choose, how many minutes, hours or days before the event’s start time do you want to get a reminder. By default, reminders are turned off. Regardless of your default setting, you can change the reminder time per event when creating a new event or editing an existing one.

Auto Adjust event’s end time

When changing the start time of an event, by default, the end time changes as well, to keep the event’s duration the same. In Settings > Calendar > Calendar Editing > Auto Adjust End Time you can change it to Never, if you prefer to keep the event’s end time the same even when you change the start time. You can also choose to change the end time for all events, expect all day events.

Auto Focus Next Date/Time

When editing the start and end time of an event by typing, as soon as you finish entering the full date/time, the next date/time will be focused. If you don’t like that behaviour, you can disable this setting in Settings > Calendar > Calendar Editing > Auto Focus Next Date/Time. That way, you can type the date in one go, e.g. 04-05-2022, but you’ll manually have to move focus to the time field, e.g. 09:00.


Calendar notifications

You can set notifications for the events in your calendar, used mostly for event reminders.

Notification style

In Settings > Calendar > Calendar Notifications > Notification Style you can decide how the notification is displayed. You can choose between:

  • System notification.
  • A popup dialog in the browser.
  • A melting browser effect followed by a popup dialog.
  • A burning browser effect followed by a popup dialog.

Notification sound

Notifications can be accompanied by a sound. You can choose between 3 different sounds (Ding, Rooster, Tada) or have sounds disabled.


Calendar integration

Calendar mail account

To share events, the Calendar needs to be linked to a mail account. Select the mail account in Settings > Calendar > Calendar Integration > Calendar Mail Account.

To add a new Mail account, check out the help page about adding and managing Mail accounts.

Send invite email message

When you add participants’ email addresses to the event, then right after saving the event you can send an invitation email to the participants. From Settings > Calendar > Calendar Integration > Send Invite Email Message you can choose whether to:

  • ask you each time,
  • always send messages, or
  • never send messages.

If you choose to send a message, you can add a note to the email.

ICS files
