Hej!
Im on Surface RT 8.1 prew and a couple of days ago facebook only displays in mobile version and that sux,wat to do?
In my opinion m.facebook.com is better than regular facebook but thats just me. Certainly faster to load (slow connection)
Anyway, top left corner is a button with 3 horizontal bars. click it, down bottom of the new side pane that opens there is a button that says desktop, click it and voila.

javascript is disabeld on fb loggin page/desktop version...logg in the it defaults to mobile .
where do i find options for java settings on windows rt/IE?
On that version of the site it is on the *very* bottom of the page. I can't screenshot it on my windows phone to demonstrate (its a windows phone 8 feature and I use 7.5) but if you scroll to the very very bottom of the page there is a desktop button.
Javascript is enabled in windows RT already. There is no java, the 2 are not the same. Facebook uses javascript not java. Mobile sites loading instead of desktop sites by default is a known internet explorer 11 problem, can be fixed by changing the user agent string to match that for internet explorer 10 instead. It is because websites do not recognize the user agent string for internet explorer 11 as being a valid browser as it is new, so they serve up the mobile site for maximum compatibility.
As for the confusion over the side button. Facebook have 2 mobile sites. One for desktop browsers and one for mobile browsers, kinda weird. I incorrectly assumed the version it would present is this version (shown in chrome with the side bar open, this is how I access my facebook):
Sorry about that.
I have this same issue. No desktop or full site button anywhere

Add it to Compatibility View in the Desktop version of IE. Then in the Modern UI version of IE, you'll be fine.

I've not got my Surface in front of me, but from memory - Go to Desktop, launch IE, Tools, Compatibility View settings, add the site(s). Then when you visit the site in Modern UI IE, it should display correctly. Or wait for the site owner to add correct support for IE11.
Facebook works just fine on my IE 11 Modern UI on 8.1 RT.
It wasn't working for a few days for me. Didn't change anything and it went back yesterday to full site working

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.

Wow, I love this board...!
Opera mobile 10.1 beta works like a charm on my Galaxy S Doc Froyo XWJPO v7.6.2. It even downloads flash-videos (e.g. tagesschau.de) and opens them with the internal video player. Only live stream is not working.
Thanks a lot. Is Opera going to publish this version or will Opera Mobile 10 for Android only be pre-installed on selected devices? (I read something like that on areamobile.de --> uu.uu.uu.areamobile.de/news/13631-opera-mobile-10-jetzt-auch-fuer-android)
Isn't the final version going to be released today?
Works amazingly fast and smooth on my galaxy s. I love it! It doesn't play all our even most flash content so it can't yet replace the stock browser, but once plugin support is there, I'll only use this one for sure!
Will the mobile version compress data like mini did?

I has an option to use compression or not.
What I like the most is reflow on pinch to zoom same way as on my nexus modded aosp stock used to be. Very familiar as symbian user as well.
No flash yet. Hope it comes.
Available on market now!!!
Also for those not familiar with the opera you can change opera user agent by opera:config menu (many other settings as well like cache, ram management etc.). User agent 2 will give you desktop and will auto launch youtube app so it's still better quality than what you get by default on mobile site as a consultation for not having full flash.

How do you get to the advanced settings? I cant seem to find it on this beta release
Gave it a quick try. Very good but still not perfect.
When zooming in the images and text are blurry for a second and it only updates after you stop zooming, unlike the stack browsers where it's instant.
It is very smooth when scrolling though.
Also in landscape mode, I can't zoom out fully. This is weird, why do they do this? It's not as bad as Opera Mini was in landscape but it still prevents this from being as nice to use as Dolphin HD. I want full control of zoom all the time, not just in portrait mode.
Also can't import bookmarks from the stock browser. Hope they add this ability.
Needs an exit button for when you don't want to leave it in the background, like Dolphin HD. Sometimes you want to close it so it doesn't return to it's previous state and rather starts 'fresh'.
Will keep it to see future updates and maybe if I want to preserve bandwidth when using mobile data. But Dolphin HD will stay as my default for now.
I have a problem on JPA... Internet browser won't save as default, no matter how many times I set it >_<
Great news.

I can zoom in and out completely in landscape and in portrait
Imports bookmarks and speed dial from desktop version. And unlike chrome to phone it actually works.
Agree with you for the rest except this is my browser of choice now. Waiting on beta 2

Depends on the site.
As a test go to myadsl.co.za.
In Dolphin HD (and I assume default browser too) when I hold the phone in landscape I can see the whole width of the site.
But on Opera I cannot, it refuses to zoom out that far.
It also seems to take longer to load the page (using Wi-fi), regardless of the Opera Turbo setting. This might just be someone else in the house using the connection at the same time as me though.
I'll give it a go later and maybe post back my findings. Opera Mobile on Symbian and Windows mobile were very good and i'd tried Opera Mini on some dumbphones as well and it worked well. I hadn't tried Opera Mini for Android as I didn't like the idea of only being restricted to using Opera's proxies (I assume that was the only option).
Opera Mobile 10.1 Beta for Android direct link from Opera or pick a version yourself over here.
No flash integration.... sigh.

I really was interested in having the youtube app playback youtube videos instead of the stock player. i changed the user agent to 2 as you describe above and it didnt work. i tried clearing cache, cookies, etc and restarting my phone. i have a htc droid eris running 2.1. can you provide more details on how you were able to get the youtube app to launch automatically from opera mobile?
thanks in advance.
Sorry seems web ignores uset agent string right now but if you go to bottom of youtube page and select full site next time you launch opera it will remember it and launch app respectively.

Thanks for trying, but it didnt work for me. it must have somethign to do with the url on youtube. It tried to launch the youtube player as you indicated but i got an error that it couldnt connect to the server.

Set it to whichever string you want from "User Prefs" -> "Custom User Agent"
Opera Mobile is the first browser to actually challenge the stock one for mobile browsing supremacy.

I tired string 2 as discussed above but it didnt work. i am a bit of a noob, so can you go through the exact settings when i do about:config? is there an index of what user agents the numbers correspond to? for example, when i use skyfire, the videos launch just fine in the youtube app. however, i agree with you abotu opera mobile and this is the only thing i need to be all set.
thanks in advance
The "Devices by OS or Manufacturer" button at the top of the page doesn't work anymore, for the last few weeks. I've tried it using Chrome, Firefox and IE.
It doesn't work on my laptop either. Is it working for anybody else?
I searched to see if it's been asked before but didn't find anything.

Can you be more specific? Does it show a blank page, redirect to another site, etc?
What template are you using? 2010 or classic? It's working fine on this end...

He's right. I'm using SRWare's Iron browser (version 13.0.800.0), which is Chrome minus Google's grubby little fingers, and it does not even drop down. This is in Windows 7 x64 Pro. It is the same thing in Firefox 5.0 and 6 Beta as well in Windows 7 x64 Pro.
In Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, Chromium and Firefox both exhibit the same behavior (not working at all) with that drop down menu.
Using XDA 2010 layout all around.
not working here either (google chrome)

I've always left the template to the default (XDA 2010), clicking the button/down arrow there is no response. When I change to the XDA classic the pull down works.
I'm using Vista on both my desktop and laptop. Desktop is 64bit, laptop is 32bit. I've also noticed that I have the same problem using the default browser on my Acer Iconia (3.1).
It also doesn't work for me: Win 7 Firefox 5
Cool
that make sense
Same problem for me too...
same here. i was going to ask about this yesterday but i forgot
I've had to scroll down to find my device.
same here...
XDA 2010 - Problems with Device Drop down
All,
I switched to XDA classic and the drop down worked but is not working in the XDA2010 style (nothing happens)....so my guess is it is a CSS problem but have not looked that closely
Another thing with the drop down in XDA classic when you choose "all Android devices" it is not the complete list. I looked for the ASUS transformer and it was not shown.
Also I have tried with firefox 6 and IE and receive the same results
Hope this helps the team trouble shoot the problem.
Still not working. I've been using the classic, but hate the colors compared to the 2010 theme.
Anyone who uses Chrome on their PC will know what I mean when I say is there any Android browser that allows you to search different websites from the navigation bar? For instance in desktop Chrome if you want to search youtube for Lady Gaga you just type in "youtube.com Lady Gaga". Is there any Android web browser with that kind of functionality? Android Chrome doesn't seem to do it.
Thanks for any help.

I use the stock browser and Chrome in that way with no problems. I think, there is something wrong with your settings.
I just reinstalled Chrome on my phone and typed in "youtube.com Lady Gaga" and it didn't work, it just searched on Google. Is there a setting you have to turn on?
As far as I know, the mobile version is fairly new and didn't see any options to enable it. Desktop chrome came with it already functional. The only mobile variation I found was using Firefox w/ the youtube add-on. Which sucks because I hate Firefox.
I love the dolphin browser you should try that one not sure what you are trying to do.

In Chrome on desktop, you can / have to go to options / search settings and set up these shortcuts (if not already present). I've only just started with new Android device - I assume there is a similar place to set such on handheld. e.g. On my desktop, type 'w' 'p' '<space>' auto-changes the address line to 'search wikipedia' (or like wording). I assume you see the same on your desktop when you type 'youtube.com', as per your message.
If nothing else, you can do '"lady gaga" site:youtube.com", in the mean time.
Can anyone else confirm that going to www.crutchfield.com loads a mobile version instead of the regular desktop version? Any idea how I might see the regular version?
I dont have an RT device so cant duplicate and it appears that internet explorer on windows phone 7 loads the desktop version of the site.
Usually the URL for mobile sites has the http://m. or http://mobile. prefix instead of http://www. manually removing m or mobile usually forces sites into desktop mode. Most mobile sites also have a button near the very bottom (alongside where you expect to see copyright info) to reload the desktop site. Hopefully 1 of these 2 will be the case.
On my windows phone (samsung focus, original), it loads the same mobile version as on my surface.
You cant change the url because it will just continue to auto detect you.

My little test with both facebook and gmail.com worked fine. facebook.com on its own directed to the mobile site. http://facebook.com over-rode the mobile site and loaded the full version. You just have to be incredibly specific.
Regardless, you can use the IE developer tools (Tools menu, or press F12, which on Surface is Fn+PgDn). Use Tools->Change user agent string, and select another browser. Then refresh the page, and it should show correctly. (Idiotic web developers trying to be overly "clever" about detecting mobile browsers...)
