Android :: Browser Redirected To Mobile Sites
Oct 14, 2009
OK so Android comes with this great web browser built in, but I've got a problem with it that is driving me nuts... there is no way to change the browser agent string so that it may be detected by websites as a full-featured browser and deliver desktop web page content rather than mobile browser content (You are redirected to ESPN's mobile site for example when browsing to www.espn.com). In Browser Settings I have Mobile view unchecked, but this does not affect being redirected to mobile content websites. I know some people probably prefer the mobile formatted content, but I wish it was at least an option so I could get to the true desktop version of a site if I wanted to.

How do I keep the browser from sending me to watered down "mobile" sites instead of the full blown site. For example m.si.com instead of the full sports Ill site. a couple sites just starting converting me to mobile without me wanting it.

just bought my Droid on Sunday after the underwhelming Nexus One release. I'm using the Dolphin Browser and struggling to figure out how to get back to the mobile versions of sites. I know it was sending me to the mobile engadget site there at first, but lately I can only get to the full site. I'd really rather see the mobile one for loading time purposes. I remember on my Hero there was an option buried in the menu for this, but I can't find it on the Droid. Does it matter that I'm in Dolphin instead of the stock browser? And doesn't AndroidForums have a mobile version as well? Can't seem to get to that either.

Does anyone know how to avoid getting mobile views (page) on web sites in the browser? I can't figure it out. My old HTC Hero had a way to not get the mobile versions..

I've got a question that relates to Groove IP. I'm on T-Mobile's $30 monthly prepaid plan, so I'm interested in finding ways to avoid using minutes.
I've set up my Groove IP account settings so that calls are forwarded to Gchat. But when people call my T-Mobile number, those calls get directed to my T-Mobile number so I use minutes.
Does this have anything to do with the way T-Mobile disallows setting up voicemail on prepaid phones?

I'm pretty new to the Android scene but currently have a UK Hero 1.5 on Orange. I am wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction. I want to be able to go straight to the full website rather than be directed to the mobile version when loading a site in the Dolphin browser. I cannot see it in any of the setting menus.

I hate the fact that when browsing web sites, I'm always directed to the "mobile" (WAP) site if there is one! Just wondeirng if there is a way to keep the Droid X browser from loading mobile (WAP) sites? I don't care to be directed to mobile sites. I know with the HTC Droid Incredible, as well as many other Android smartphones (other than Motorola it seems) there is an option to disable mobile sites and get the actual web site like it would be displayed on a desktop computer.

Anyone figure out how to keep sites from automatically forwarding you to their mobile web version (like comedycentral.com)? The Aria can handle full web and I hate dealing with crippled sites. On my old WM phone there was a browser setting where I could have it be identified as a desktop and not a mobile browser. There is a setting for mobile view, but it doesn't seem to change anything.

I need to write an Android application that allows a user to connect to multiple social networking sites like MySpace, LinkedIn, FaceBook etc. and fetch friends list.
I know that most of these applications have Java libraries or functionalities exposed as REST based WebServices. But since there is a lot of variety and disparity in the ways that these libaries are written or service that can be consumed, is there any single, integrated service or middleware component that I can use to provide a unified interface in my mobile application?

Title pretty much says it all. When I try to load a website that has a Mobile site, like CNN.com, it always loads m.CNN.com no matter what I type in. Anyone tell me how to fix that?

When starting to enter a URL into the browser I keep getting sites popping up which I've never been to. Is there some way to stop this, or to clear the list?
Eg enter 'a' and I get
amazon.com
ask.com
apple.com
adobe.com
about.com etc. Sometimes foreign language sites show up, in non-western characters.
The phone is new. I've tried clearing the history and the search history, disabling search suggestions, even setting airplane mode in case the phone was fetching this live.

looked for an answer on quite a few threads and forums on this one.on my moto droid, there are a couple mobile sites that will not stream video, but work on my old omnia, and my brothers htc hero. ie break mobile, the onion, and a few random other ones. sometimes it will play one video, then every other video from that server gives a "video not eligable for streaming on this device" or similar error message. it seems odd to me that some mobile vids will work on a hero but not the droid? or is it just my phone? anyone else fed up with this?

I placed this query on another board but no ones has been able to help so far. Anyone any idea if this exists or nor? Is there any way of reading a barcode from your mobile browser? I'm sure I'm missing something here. Every time I find a barcode while browsing on my phone I then have to open the same web page on a desktop / laptop so I can snap it with the barcode reader on my phone. I'm probably just being stupid but can I get my phone browser to read the barcode? Do any browsers offer this as a plugin?

I have built a website for mobile webkit browsers, there is an interval update to refresh data. But it turns out that the pooling refresh will stop at some time after run for a while (some minutes or hours, different by each time).I thought there may be something error occurred in my refresh data functions, but it works well in my laptop browser. I also tried to listen window.onerror event, but webkit browser seems do not support that event. What else can I do?And I am also doubting is there any problem with setTimeout and setInterval functions in mobile webkit browser?

Is there any way that a webpage can make a request for the users location from the android / iphone device ? Since all I need is the users location, I am trying to figure out if there is anyway I can bypass developing a native app and use some nifty html5 call to just get the users location so all a user would need to do is visit my webpage and provide permission to access his/her location?

Is it possible to detect that the viewport is being dragged by a touch event?
Using the following code I am able to get the position of where the finger touched the screen, what node started the event and where it was dragged to. Which solves one of the problems but I would really like to detect when the user has dragged the page/window/viewport down.
To attempt to be more clear as to what I am trying to do: I would like simulate the refresh activity in Tweetie 2/Twitter for iPhone but in HTML5 and JavaScript. Code....

I need to test, with Selenium or a similar automated testing tool, how my webapp behaves on iPhone's Mobile Safari and on Android browser. How can I do that?
I usually test my app by hand setting Safari 5 with User Agent = "Mobile Safari", I used iPhoney as well but it's too buggy IMO.
