[Q] Only mobile versions of websites?

How do I set my Tilt 2 to only load regular websites and not the mobile versions? I have tried a multiple browsers, set them to not load mobile and they still load mobile. Is it a setting within the phone itself?

Hi there,
It is indeed a settings option
- open opera and type: opera:config
- scroll down to "user prefs"
- scroll all the way down to "UAProf URL Enabled" and uncheck that box
- scroll down a little more and save "user Prefs"
- restart opera
& you are set 2 go!

I wished that had worked for me. I've tried just about every fix listed on these forums, and the only way to get full sites on my tilt2 is to tag ?m=false onto every non mobile page I want to load. Engadget and CNN are the two I am always testing on.

hard luck bro, try iris browser or skyfire..
btw wat do u mean by ?m=false where to tag this to c complete website

I happen to be on the opposite end. I wish the browser will automatically detect if it has a mobile version but for some reason, my phone always loads just whatever I type on the url. In order for me to load the mobile version, I always have to add m.
Is there anyway that even if I type like engadget.com, it will load m.engadget.com. It's just easier instead of having to add that m.
I think the original rom always tries to load the mobile version because htc probably made change to the preference or code but the energy rom which has the updated stock opera will load the full version by default unless you add the m.

it tags onto the end of the site url after the "/" or after ".html"... but I just checked, it looks like whether or not is works is site specific. Works fine on Engadget (which is what I browse frequently) but not CNN.
I do use skyfire, but it just seems to me that it has been getting consistently slower in page loads/refreshes when scrolling and more prone to timeouts over the last year. I had thought updating from the older version would help, but it seems about the same.

QUICKEST way to get text from PC to Phone

Lets say you just read a joke on some website, and want to SMS it to your friend (just an example) without using the tiny keyboard on your device, or want Chrome2Phone like text or link sending to your phone without being on Froyo.
Here's a neat trick to do it quickly : Just open your browser and put that text as suffix to
Code:
http://qrcode.kaywa.com/img.php?s=8&d=
And press enter. You'll get a barcode image to scan and the info is on your phone! Beat that!!
Example : http://qrcode.kaywa.com/img.php?s=8&d=hahahahaha.... this is fcuking awesome!!!!

Typo included.

...plus this has NOTHING to do with development.

that was intentional just like this

i think is much simpler for firefox user
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2780/

cool, but .... not really that easy and quick IMO?
you will have to open your camera, stabilize it, AND you have to have your phone connected to the internet to process the bar code (maybe not)?
easier way is use desktop app to send SMS, like EasySMS, its browser based.
you just connect using USB/bluetooth/WiFi and if you see something you like you copy/paste it to the page of EasySMS and send (it has ChompSMS feature as well, i think )

Here's a nice bookmarklet..
Here's a bookmraklet that I've written. It will make a box appear. Any text you enter/paste into that box will appear as a datamatrix barcode (alas, replacing the same tab you are currently viewing, I don't know how to make it open a new tab!)
To use it, make a new bookmark and enter the text in the attached txt file into "Location".
Any time you click the new bookmark you will be presented with the text box.
This bookmarklet uses the free service by the wonderful people at bcgen.com

Thanks! It's actually either fast neither easy.
I mean NOBODY would find it itself.
I've had a great hope can get all the bookmarks from IE to my device
but it's apparently not going to happen.
Luckily we have a great OperaLink..
Thank you anyway!

The purpose for these types of apps isn't really to send yourself a bookmark for a main website, but more to send a complicated link to save you typing in a 180 character or so URL into your HD7, or having to open up your email and copy / paste a link to yourself (spamming your own email in the process).
For example; I'm on my PC browsing deviant art and I see a cool image that would make a great lockscreen wallpaper for my HD7. I right click somewhere on the page, select "Send to Windows Phone". I pick up my phone, open the "Send to WP7" app, and there's my link to that page. I can now use that image as my wallpaper.
Similarly, if you're reading an article on some website and you've got to get to work but want to finish reading that article on the bus, just send it to yourself with this app and easily pick up the same page on the bus!
It's an incredibly handy and ingenious app in my opinion... with lots of ingenious uses if you can think them up.

I sent a question to the dev that I haven't seen an update for - how to remove those darned links when you're done with them. Until then, the app is useless for me, but it does have potential...

There is now an alternative paid-for app called Browser to WP7 that works on the same idea except it allows links and text to be deleted. It also categorises them in the app and allows you to share them by sms, email, search with bing etc.
I'm waiting to see if Send to WP7 gets any future updates because it's currently free and works pretty well for me.

Hey guys - never noticed this thread until today. I am the author of Send to WP7.
Send to WP7 has the ability to delete links (as of the update several days ago - I was stuck in limbo for several weeks. )
Multi-delete is coming in an application update next week.
Send to WP7 has a live tile # indicating how many links you need to download to the phone. You can already send a link via SMS or Email, just tap and hold, select 'Show All', and then click the mail icon. I'll add more options to the 'right-click' menu soon. I didn't think there was much of a reason for things like 'Search with Google' or 'Search With Bing' (wouldn't you have just done these things on your PC anyway?), but I may add things like that in the future.
Send to WP7 will remain free.
Apologies to the OP for not understanding how to setup the software, I still assert that it is not very complicated if you just read the instructions carefully. I do think I need some updates/screenshots to the setup page, though. On that note, I was never able to figure out how to configure 'Browser to WP7' to use anything but Chrome...

I thought it was simple to use and easy to setup but then again I've been using Chrome to Phone for ages with my Desire now.

hi davux,

will be great ^_^
i still dreaming can send picture from my browser to wp7 .

send to wp7 desktop
I ve installed send to wp7 on my phone, configured iexplorer and it works fine. I ve also installed the desktop version, managed to send a note to my phone, but when i try send sms or email nothing happens. Any clues?

Hi cxkx -
Note that Send to WP7 Desktop is an alpha release, I have not built any functionality into the phone app to support it yet. In it's current state, it is best for transferring files. Sending an SMS or Email does "work", but you'll then have to tap & hold the item and select Send via mail. The real name for these items should be something like "prepare SMS/mail."
Again just note that this is all in flux, but I wanted to get it out there so those who really wanted the functionality could have it immediately.

I don't quite understand, how do i send an sms? Press the button on the desktop app, nothing happens, am I supposed to write a txt file, send to phone and then send as sms? will the txt file be read and added or will it be an attachment?

Yes, you enter a message (and optionally a destination contact number, but this won't work until I add support into the phone app itself) and click send. The message is sent to your phone using exactly the same means as the note. If you have enabled push notifications, you'll get a toast. Tap and hold the entry on the phone, and select 'Send info via SMS'. It is not the most elegant procedure, I know...

I ve tried sending the clipboard contents but it didnt work, anything I copy in iexplorer though can be send, maybe a plain html page where you can write and then send using the accelerator will do the trick. Keep on the good work!

"It didn't work" is not useful for anyone trying to solve any kind of problem. If you'd like help in configuring the desktop software (I suspect that is the only problem you're having), email me the log (located at %localappdata%\sendtowp7desktop\log.txt) to dave at dave amenta dot com.

I'm not sure why it says the program is executing from C:\Windows\system32, maybe that is related. Usually ClickOnce will set that to your profile (e.g. C:\Users\CK)
It appears that you're getting jumplist callbacks for sending notes, but nothing else - they all use exactly the same mechanism so I'm not sure what'd cause that. It appears you are using a localized version of Windows, what language/locale are you using?

[Q] Browsing option, request desktop version

One of the new feature of ICS is the ability to request desktop version when browsing the internet websites.
How does it works?
I mean, does it apply for one web page only?
Or the entire website domain?
Or the entire browsing session?
Thanks

It just requests the desktop version of that page that you're currently looking on. Nothing else.
All it does is requests the same page again with the UAstring of 'desktop' rather than the default 'android'.

Crap ... That mean we need to request every time for other pages.
Oh well, better than nothing.

There's probably an option under labs in the settings to always request desktop pages by default. Not sure though.

At least it's there. It's better than typing about:debug and fiddling with settings.

From the video below, I saw a checkbox in the Request desktop version of the ICS web browser. Does it mean that it works for the entire sessions or all the time?
That is nice!
http://www.droid-life.com/2011/11/2...-controls-movie-editor-and-new-voice-to-text/
Can someone with GN explain this feature?

it doesn't stay persistent all the time (i.e. if you set it, then close all tabs and close the browser and come back later, the checkbox will be unchecked).

[Q] Why would my mobile browser redirect me away from "https//"???

Sorry up front if this is posted in the wrong location...
I am having a problem, I don't know if its the ROM (FreeGS3) or the way the browsers are configured. I have used Firefox, Default, and Dolphin, I always set them to "Desktop" mode.
Here is my problem, I go to Facebook website and I get a redirected away from what I have discovered to need to be "https" instead it sends me to "http" with gives me an html text page. If I go back up to the web address line and add the "s" in front of the "http" web address it then displays the correct web page as it should.
Can someone please tell me or direct me as to how to fix this???
It is driving me crazy...

Further Clarifications...

To further clarify Facebook requires the secured web address when navigating after log in. Not sure why my browser would not direct me properly execept maybe for this reason...
From Google Development..."Redirects and User-Agent Detection
Automatic redirection
When a website is configured to serve desktop and mobile browsers using different URLs, webmasters may want to automatically redirect users to the URL that best serves them. If your website uses automatic redirection, be sure to treat Googlebot and Googlebot-Mobile just like any other user-agent and redirect them appropriately.
Irrelevant redirects
A common issue is redirecting users to irrelevant pages. For example, if a user visits example.com/article29, your website should redirect them to the equivalent mobile-optimized page, such as m.example.com/article29, instead of to the m.example.com homepage. This makes sure that incoming links and users' bookmarks work across devices."
