If I use the native browser or Opera Mini on a eg. X10 the webpages are displayed in mobile view even though mobile view is turned off. Is it possible to force the browser to display the pages like they are on a PC?
If you use iPhone pages are shown more like the ordinary pages on a computer. |

skyfire is awful. i gave that a rating of 2 out of 5. it has several problems:
1) it leaves a whole load of junk in the picture gallery
2) it often crashes
3) it doesn't play flash even though it claims to do
4) it's slow
5) it doesn't render pages as well as the default android browser

can you give some examples because they display fine for me. perhaps you could try going to the google homepage and selecting "classic" view rather than "mobile view" near the bottom of the page |

1) it leaves a whole load of junk in the picture gallery (yeah noticed that but i just delete the cached files)
2) it often crashes (never crashed for me, tbh)
3) it doesn't play flash even though it claims to do (it does not claim to PLAY flash it has a workaround for some big flash sites (like youtube for example) it plays the videos really well, it detects if the site has a video and then gives you a option to play it or not works most of the time and as i said, its for the more common sites)
4) it's slow (slow in what way? i feel it loads the pages real fast)
5) it doesn't render pages as well as the default android browser (never come across anything that has looked strange or was not supose to look like that)
but this is my own opinion would't use something that i dont like
there is the dolphin browser too

How do I disable mobile view?
When I go from BBC.co.uk to bbcnews it always goes to the mobile version when I don't want it to.

thats simply bbc, i've tried so many times on a motorola dext/cliq and no luck, always comes in mobile mode. i simply google what i want to find on bbc and then it wont come up on mobile.
Age is just a number.. Being 13 makes me no dumber than a wise old man  |

you can select either the mobile version or the desktop version for some sites such as the BBC, wikipedia, etc. if you select the desktop version once, it will remember it for subsequent occasions

Try www.vg.no
On a X10 it forces mobile view, both with native browser and Opera Mini. |

then you need to enable cookies. it can't "force it". if the cookies are enabled it will remember the last preference |

This is an issue not with your smartphones' browser but the webpage admin setting up the html to recognize the browser itself - there is a specific tag (we used to play with these add-on within firefox) that notifies the server hosting the HMTL site what browser you use (browser, version, even device).

So enabling cookies won't help? (Not my phone, so I will not be able to test myself).
And, why does iPhone show these as normal pages if I will? Don't the server see this as a smartphone too? |
