Hey all,

Is there any way to prevent mobile versions of websites loading and just have the full version? I looked in settings within the browser but couldn't find anything to do the job. any ideas?

Cheers,

Maybe depends on what browser you use but I must Miren and have it set load standard but it still seems to load mobile half the time?!

Try dolphin browser mini. You can change User Agent to Desktop in settings.

It depends how the site is doing the detecting. Some sites use specific mobile style-sheets by setting the media="handheld" attribute of the sylesheet link. It will then be up to your browser whether it recognises itself as a mobile browser. Most smartphone browsers ignore this and treat themselves like a "proper" browser. Therefore this is something that could be selected as an option within the browser. For instance, Opera Mini has an option to enable identification as a mobile browser (which is turned off by default).

Other sites will do USER_AGENT detection and use that to decide whether a browser is a mobile browser. The only way to fool these sites is to edit the USER_AGENT string so that your browser identifies itself as a full-screen browser. You can read how to do this in this article here. Other browers have different ways of doing this.

EDIT: thought it might be related to cookies and cache so i tried clearing those, still no luck
