What browser are you using? Have you set your browser to a non-mobile view?

That may fix it, but I doubt it if it specifies windows or mac.

I'm not sure how else I'd get around this other than using some description of proxy maybe?

If you are using the standard Android browser try the following:

Open the browser, type as address about:debug then <enter>

Nothing seems to change, but when you now open the menu, goto settings and scroll down.

You will find a "UAString" or "User Agent", push it and select "Desktop"

Then try again to load the page.

If you are using another browser, search in the settings of the browser for "UA", "User Agent" or similar and change it to Desktop, PC, or whatever sounds like its a PC or MAC.

Hi there,

I know you asked this a little while ago and got the same type of reply about changing settings from mobile to desktop, (which is good advice).

Can you tell me if you are trying to obtain your work schedule from an exchange email account, (i.e calender)? If so you would need to install an exchange client from market. I use 'touchdown', (free version is available on android market), which syncs all my work emails/ calenders etc.

If this isn't the case then feel free to ingnore the last paragraph!

Regards

Pete

sorry my 1st android and new to this :unsure:

1. Open the browser.
   
2. In the address bar, where you normally enter the URL of the website you want to load, enter about:debug then press the "Go" or Enter key on your keyboard.
   
3. Nothing seems to change.
   
4. Next press the menu button (top right on your screen, looks like 3 lines with a red dot in front of each line)
   
5. A bar at the bottom of your screen opens, press More there
   
6. In the menu that pops up, select Settings
   
7. In the window that comes up then scroll down to the last entry UAString and press it
   
8. Then select Desktop
   
9. Close the menu with the back button (top right of your screen, looks like an arrow, bended to the left)
   
10. Try to enter the URL of your company server again in the address bar.
    

Hope I made it easy enough to follow. If not, let us know.

That appears to be a problem with the webpage, some administrators specifically browsers like IE, to stop 'security issues'.

There's probably nothing you can do, sorry its not a solution

[Guest Logseman]

I'm afraid theeskimo is right. Many corporate websites were built around Internet Explorer 6 which peaked a 95% of market share. However, it is the bane of browsers as it works against most modern standards. If you work for this company, you could make them aware of the undesirability of said policy:

I like that sentence: "Friends don't let friends use IE6". Was Microsoft an enemy of the people in 2001?

Ok, I see the picture, but I what happens if you enter your login data?

I see the information about "Works only with Internet Explorer", but the site seems to load. I clicked on "How to register?" and it loaded the page.

Please let us know what happens when you enter your login data.

[Guest gizmogirl]

My guess is that if it is specifying Internet Explorer and excluding Firefox, Safari etc. it probably is dependent on ActiveX. In that case, it is not going to work on any system that is not running Microsoft Windows.

I am speaking with some experience as an IT Manager for a tech company.
