Opera 9.5 appears as a Mobile browser and not desktop browser...

Hello!
Since I updated Opera (9.5 build_15954 on my Diamond) to its latest version, when I go on web sites, my browser is recognized as a mobile browser and not as normal office browser. It's really annoying because on Youtube Website such as on a lot of sites I see a particular web site dedicated to mobile phones.
As an example, when I load www.google.fr the browser goes to Google Mobile. When I go on Youtube, my browser redirect to Youtube Mobile.
In short, there is something that identify my browser as a mobile browser on the net and I would like to change opera parameters to simulate a real traditional browser as Firefox on windows XP for exemple...
What can I do ?
Thank you

Best way to get Flash working on a Touch Pro2...?

I'm using a TP2 with the stock WM6.5 ROM, and am interested in getting Flash support working on websites.
So far I've tried using FixOperaFlash.exe with the built in Opera 9.5, which doesn't work at all.
I've also installed Skyfire, which does work, but is so blurry and pixellated I just can't stand to launch it.
Is there a better option? I'm interested in doing things like watching the video/audio reports on the BBC news website, and maybe playing the odd Flash game.
EDIT: tried Internet Explorer. That gets as far as launching the Streaming Media Player on YouTube (but doesn't actually download anything - possibly O2 is blocking it, and it would work over wifi, I don't know). But it doesn't work on the BBC news website: just gives me a message saying "this content doesn't seem to be working, try again later".

so far there is no flash support for WM devices and they only way you can view flash is with skyfire and its pixelated because 1 you need to zoom in and/or 2 its compressed to save you on data costs and for speed

thats not true. it works for ie on wm6.5, and some builds of opera 9.5 out of the box, and fixoperaflash has enabled it on every version of 9.5 and 9.7 ive tried.

In my opinion, the best choice to watch youtube videos in Excalibur is COREPLAYER.

+1 .

Mobile Internet
Since the Excalibur doesn't support 3G, it is likely that YouTube will only reliably work over WiFi, because GPRS is too slow to stream the videos.

hi, i recently installed opera mobile 10 and core player to my p51, could any one tell me how to make opera to play youtube (or any other websites if able) videos with core player, my windows IE browser plays youtube videos with core player, but that browser sux bc its slow and it sux

Can you try skyfire, it's a good browser with native support for flash, but without wifi is too slow.
For the download search it with google, it's freeware

unfortunately it is true, for this reason I use it only when I need flash support.

It support wifi
if one is interested only in youtube, you can use the specific application released by Google

For those whos browsers crash with Flash content

I have just installed Skyfire Browser (beta) from the Market and the sites that crash for me using the Android built in browser are fine in Skyfire, ie BBC , sites that embed justin.tv videos.
i mainly use flash to watch football and the framerate is superb using Skyfire.
Hope this helps some people on here.

So you don't have todays Flash 10.1.95.1 update skewing the comparison?
5MB more gone...

No........... but ive just installed it and my usual sites are still crashing with the stock Android browser and fine with Skyfire

Here's a test then. How many embedded videos can you see and playon this page with the Skyfire browser? http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_prem/9004741.stm

I clicked your link and it crashed
and even worse the sites which were ok for my about 10 minutes ago now crash!!!!!!
what have you done?

got it working again after uninstalled/reinstalling.
this is weird as the football videos on the scottish premier league section of the BBC website play fine.
I have the "Enable plug-ins" option set top On-Demand and when i try your link i do not even see a box where the flash videos should be.
If i set "Enable plug-ins" option to "always on" and try your link then the browser crashes.

Thanks for trying and persisting
It's pages like that giving us weird problems, like crashes, lag, no embedded video showing, etc.
There should be two Flash vids on that page to play. I too have plugins set to on-demand and if I change it to Always on, then try that page -> crash. I don't know what it is but it is limited to a few sites in my case so it doesn't bother me as much.

tried dolphin browser too but same problem

[Q] make opera9.5 default to mobile youtube wen clicking links

after seing how opera 10 automatically brings you go the mobile youtube site when you click on a link from a text or email, i realized opera 9.5 does not do this. and when someone sends me a youtube link, or i click a youtube link elsewear, opera 9.5 always goes to the regular youtube page which obviously is no good since we dont have flash.
is there anyway to make my opera 9.5 always go to the M version of youtube like op10 does by default when clicking youtube links?

You could install Opera 9.7. Search for a cab for it. It's what I use, and it defaults to YouTube mobile.

oh i didnt even know 9.7 exists.
does it support the zoom bar?
ill try that

Yes, it does support the zoom bar. Opera 10 does not. 9.7 was the final version to allow scalable zooming. Get it at this thread.

wow awesome.. thanks so much.. doing it now
