Opera shows mobile view only on some sites

---

i got a problem with the preinstalled opera 9.5. on some sites it show only the mobile view and can`t be convinced to show the full desktop site. in the adress line there is then mobile.....com writen and i can`t change the mobile. youtube or google for example. is there a way to change this? (i unchecked the mobile view box in the settings). i also tried 9.7 beta. this one shows full desktop view but crash very often.

did u try to change your settings? in the address field type "about:config" and scroll down to user agent. change it to 2 or 3 (firefox or ie respectively). this should make websites recognize your browser differently. it should work for most sites.

first off, thank you for replying. I changed my user agent settings to both 2 and 3. no luck with either. I have to admit I don't which number coincides with which browser (firefox or ie). Any other suggestions??

nothing has worked for me either. I'm using Opera 9.5

You need to change your "custom user agent" string to something like this:

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.3)

It's under "user preferences" in opera's "about:config".

Ok, thanks.

1st here is my string under that exact setting:

Mozilla/4.0 (compatible;MSIE 6.0; windows CE; IEMobile 8.12 MSIEmobile6.0) Sprint T7380.

I'm not sure what to edit.

i changed Mozilla/4.0 to 5.0 but wasnt sure what to leave or take away. thanks for helping.

The part in bold identifies your browser as being a "mobile" browser. See what I mean? There are sites that tell you how to "break down" the agent string.

Go to this site in your mobile phone and see what it returns (it will show you your agent string):
http://webmaster.info.aol.com/browserjs.html

Then, go to the same site with your desktop and see what it returns (mine is below):
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.3) Gecko/20090824 Firefox/3.5.3

The trick is to "spoof" a desktop computer. So, you will want to research "user agent string" for Browsers.

Thanks again, used your string, worked like a charm. However i need flash for some websites. Any suggestions? Sprint TP2

Thanks again man, this was bugging me like crazy.
