Mobile Site

I searched this thread for anything that dealt with this site being a mobile site, but it came up with nothing. Is there one? I like to get on the net with my phone, and this site is very informing. Even with Opera on my phone its kinda slow loading on 3G. But my question is, is there one? or one in the works? was there an idea of one? thanks.

Perhaps there is no mobile site because a lot of users like me can chek this normal site on their devices and no need for a mobile special one.
I can check it very nice in opera 9.5 (Of course my big screen allow me to)
Even with GPRS and no 3G
Cheers mate,

There is indeed a Mobile XDA. You can find it here.

Lodging a formal complaint against XDA

First of all, let me just say that I love this forum. I learned so much from it and I do appreciate the hard work that everyone does on it and contributions that are made on it.
I am lodging a formal complaint about the forum itself. I know XDA has an Android app of the forum in all it's glory, and it is a great app (could use some improvements, but that's another story) and I do use it constantly.
However, I also have Opera Mini and I have XDA on my speed dial to quickly go to my beloved G1 forum. This morning, I went to XDA through Opera after getting an error code ls2 on the XDA app, and what do I get???? A pop-up nagware box that says that you have a native app.
While that is fine for the first time I go to XDA, it is NOT fine anymore when the box pops up every time I go to a thread. EVERY TIME! If I click OK, I can proceed to the thread I want to read... If I click cancel... oops... Opera freezes and I don't get to go on.
Guys... I like both OK and I have my reasons to keep using the browser and not the app to access these forums. Can you just nag me once or not at all, please?
Thanks.

I've moved the thread to the correct sub-forum, our tech admins don't frequent off topic too often .
I'll ask someone to have a look at this for you.

Sorry about this. It was only supposed to tell you ONCE that there is an app available, not multiple times. We turned off this function for now until we fix it, so you shouldn't see the pop up.

Thanks for the quick response. I appreciate all the hard work.

Sounds like the issue is with Opera, not XDA. Since it works just fine with the stock browser, and even firefox with UAString changed.
Opera may not have the correct cookie information being sent or received.

[Q] Can't get to free Gameloft games?

Anyone try to download more than one of the free games that Gameloft is giving away this month? I got Dungeon Hunter last week and this week looks like Golf2 is free. (Let's Golf isn't bad and wouldn't mind having 2 for free.)
But two things happen...when I type this in phone (www.gameloft.com/free-hd-game/) it redirects to some wapstore url that seems to contain an id for my phone in it...and fact that I am on Wifi (ANNOYING!).
Then from the pc I have it send me an SMS...first attempt from link it kinda hung for a while, then went to exact same wapstore page.
I have even tried clearing cookies, history, form data...and turned off mobile browsing...still getting hijacked to some mobile page of theirs.
Please let me know if you have managed to get more than one game. (I sent a note to customer support, but something is up.)

What browser are you using? Are you on aosp rom? What is your user agent in that browser?
Edit:
I just tried right now and it doesn't work for me either. I tried stock aosp browser with user agents android and desktop.
I tried dolphin hd mini abd I'm having the same problem. I want the new golf game if you guys get a link post it up.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

Yep, stock HTC browser and then even tried Dolphin last night, never used it before. Haven't tried setting the agent thingy with that about:debug, but sounds like it's not working anyway.
Sux.

I haven't seen them offer golf 2 for free yet. Where did you see that? More iphone **** today.

Did you use the link I posted? It is still Golf as of 40 seconds ago. Have not seen a response to the form I filled out for customer service yet.

From what i read on the gameloft twitter page, golf 2 is not free. Gameloft was just letting people know it is out for purchase. The only game thats free today, 12-08-10 is rayman for ios and the gift on 12-07-10 was virtual cash for a facebook game.

website still offline? been 2 days now.. i wanna see what they got

Ok, seems this thread got trimmed of a few posts. Just wanted to follow up that Gameloft has replied to my support request. I got an email from them yesterday that had a new download link in it for Golf 2. Up to 50% downloaded so far.
YAY Gameloft!!!! Just wanted to give them the kudos they deserve for helping out a customer.
(Got it downloaded, huh, it makes the icon from first version look...dull...LOL)

gameloft frustrates me. they have great games. i've bought several for full price in the past. lately, i cant even get them to take my money. tried from my phone. tried from my computer. no luck. and it's so easy to get a pirate version. i tried to pay. honest.

Redirect to smartphonegirls.com

Hi all,
Since the last view days I randomly get redirected smartphonegirls.com when I am browsing to xda-developers forum with my android devices. It didn't really happen with my laptop yet so I don't know if catched smth like a virus or similar. However I truly doubt it as it happens with both my android devices and one of them was just freshly flashed.
Does any one else have this problem as well?

I have never heard of this. Might be an app you have installed on the decices

Yes, I can confirm this and I could do without it as well. Any way to stop it?

We are trying to track this down right now... It appears difficult to reproduce though.
Is this over wifi or 3G? What provider do you have as well?

Got the same site and done some investigation here. Identified 2 sites ( wetter24.de and epicfail.com) where this site pop ups.
I downloaded an useragent modifier for firefox and switched it to android. Then I use http header to see where the redirect will be done or which object is responsible for it. It looks like that google ads could be the reason, because the ads are dynamically and probably a js will be execute the redirect.
Unfortunately I can´t exactly identify the object and today I got the page again.

I was using ethernet at the time. Happens on my Android device but not on a normal pc with firefox

I never had it via 3G yet, but I mostly (>90%) use WiFi so I can't really rule that out.
Provider would be Vodafone Germany.
At least for me it only occures with my Android devices - I never experienced it with my Laptop (running Linux Mint 12 with latest FF version from repos 10.0.2)
On Android I have
SGSII with CheckROM RevoHD v6 & RedPill Kernel Rev1.3 (GB)
Acer Iconia A500 with Taboonay 3.1 ROM (ICS)
It happened with both devices so far. On the Acer it was actually when only had very few apps installed (which I don't think might be responsible for it as I used them since a long time)
What I also suspect is that it only happens when I am not logged in to the site. At least it never happened to me so far when I was logged in.
I hope this helps a bit. If there is anything you would like me to test, please let me know. I am happy to assist in any way I can.

It just happened again.
Here is what I did (using WiFi)
searched in google search for xda developers
clicked on the result which actually leads to xda developers forum
wait until the site loads completely
just before it is finished loading the redirect occurs and I can see the sie with the FSK18 (thats an age classification - means you need to be 18 to see the content ...bla bla..9 red symbol warning
see attached screenshot.
my redicect actually goes to:[nourl]http://cat.m.smartphonegirls.de/wwf-splashTool/SEO/iGirls_wap_fsk18_kw14_16?transaction_id=10396fe92e93a57bca7eb007875b4e&path=SPOQ[/nourl]

Using Wifi is the only way that you can reproduce this.
Then what might be happening:
You normally connect through mobile webpages through your droid.
When you are on an open wifi connection, it lets alot more data flow in and out of your droid. Searching for xda and maybe clicking on a searched link will send you there first.
FIX: Save xda as your favorite or home page and it will go straight to the actual site instead of sending you through click.it links etc.

I understand, but the redirect happens from xda-developers. I can see the xda url in the browser while XDA is loading (there is nothing preceeding it), the redirect occurs only at the end of loading the XDA developer page. So I don't think that problem is coming from the link I click to get to XDA.

Or just cancel further loading before the redirect occurs.... It is no big issue which keeps me from using XDA - But my main concern was that it was actually happening at all and I wasn' t sure if I catched smth on my devices or if it is a general problem.

I could reproduce this on xda-developers.com. Unfortunately I can´t post the headers because its not allowed for me to post urls.
If the xda-developers admins like to have the entire header stack just give me a short message. Really strange thing.

The same happens, randomly as well, with the site androidcommunity.com. Both with the android bowser and chrome beta. This is f.... annoying. Any ideas how to avoid this?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App

I am having the same problem on my Samsung Galaxy Nexus with AOKP Milestone 4 and on my Acer A500 with flexreaper r9. I used my Bookmark to the A500 Development Forum wich works fine on my Desktop PC. I am using WiFi (Provider T-Online Germany). The Forum Page is loading completely but after a few seconds i am redirected to

Same problem here. It appears when i open the xda-portal site on my galaxy nexus.
It doesn't matter if i connect via wifi or 3g.
Very annoying:/
Hopefully you can ban this site.

I have this Problem also.. with 3G ans wifi.
I' m using aokp ob mx galaxy s

We are continuing to see what can be done, as it looks like an external issue affecting other sites too

@Mod:
Could you merge this thread with http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1536791 ?

I figured out the related redirect. But I cant post it due to url policies. It comes from...
"tracking.kissmyads.com"
If you want the details give me a short info.

Have uploaded the headers for review.

Had the same experience today with Opera Mobile on the "Cyanide & Happiness" page (webcomic). Looked at the latest strip and redirected as soon as the page was fully loaded. Didn't happen on the built-in browser though.
Tried setting the user agent from mobile to desktop and it seems to have fixed it. Switched back to mobile for testing and didn't get the ad again yet. Hopefully that helps.

How to stop Advertisement?

Best Way?
Get a browser that supports adblock.
Some people were saying that if you're a Recognised contributor you won't get ads (I never had them in the first place because I use adblock)

Whoa, who uses IE nowadays anyway? Chrome + Adblock is all you'll ever need.

There is another way to stop ads, and not sure how well it works, and since I don't use it.
Google for "adblock hosts file".

No need to be so defensive. I tried to help you get rid of both the adverts which are annoying you and the horror that is Internet Explorer. Plus, if you have an Android phone (chances are you do, being on XDA) Google is already 'watching you', and far better on your phone with all of the location data and stuff than on your PC . Speaking of Android, using Chrome would give you much better integration with your phone (again, if you have an Android phone)
