Problem with Cool3D Sense 3.5 and all Sense 3.5 ROMS

[topgeardave]

Hey all, just a small problem I've encountered with all sense 3.5 ROM ranging from Seb15's to Cool3D sense 3.5.
Does anyone know how disable mobile view in the browser?
I've tried unticking the box in the settings but it still does not disable the mobile view as all the websites I go on, it automatically puts me into mobile view!
Does anyone know how to actually disable it?

Cheers
Dave

this may be silly but have you tried restarting after you unticked mobile view

Hi Dave,
That setting works for me on sebastiaan Runnymede fine. Just tried it on www diy com for example.

Yep, I've restarted when unticked. It won't move to desktop view. Such websites I have tried is Google, BBC, engadget, guardian and YouTube. I've tried "about:debug" to get the UA String option. When I change that to desktop I still can't get desktop mode to work!

Hi Dave,
This won't help you fix your problem I expect , but just sharing how it works for me.

Google. I have to click the Mobile or Classic link at the bottom of the page to get it to switch. It ignores the setting in the browser.

Endgadget and Guardian always gives me the mobile version, regardless of setting.

youtube and BBC gives me mobile or desktop depending on what I've ticked. I don't have to even restart my browser to switch I just change the setting and then type www youtube com in the address bar and it loads the "right" version.

Maybe it's to do with how the web site detects the browser, rather than a problem with Sense per se?

All pre-sense 3.5 totally disabled the mobile setting. Sense 2.1 and 3.0 browsers when unticked let me access the web in desktop mode. I had to do no faffing around. I think I'll have to let the devs know because even when the UA string is changed to desktop it still presents me with mobile view.

I've done a bit of playing with my daily driver ROM, while looking at the User Agent String on www mybrowserinfo com.

On Seb15 Runny AIO ROM (Android 2.3.5, Sense 3.5) in mobile view :-
Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; U; Android 2.3.5; en-gb; HTC_Desire_A8181 Build/GRJ90) AppleWebKit/533.1 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0 Mobile Safari/533.1

but in Desktop view it shows :-
Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10_6_3; HTC Desire; en-gb) AppleWebKit/533.16 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/5.0 Safari/533.16

Don't need to restart the phone or the browser

On ICS in mobile view
Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; U; Android 4.0.1; en-gb; Full Android on Bravo Build/GRI40) AppleWebKit/534.30 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0 Mobile Safari/534.30

in desktop view
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/534.24 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/11.0.696.34 Safari/534.24

On Stock Froyo (Android 2.2 with Sense) in mobile view
Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; U; Android 2.2; en-gb; HTC Desire Build/FRF91) AppleWebKit/533.1 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0 Mobile Safari/533.1

Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10_5_7; en-us) AppleWebKit/530.17 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0 Safari/530.17

So the setting is definitely having a difference to how the phone presents itself to the web-site (which is also proved by how www diy com reacts to the setting for me). Maybe some web-sites are looking at different bits of info in the UA string to others, to determine which page to display?

Been looking into it, tried loads of UA strings in the browser settings when I typed in about:debug in the address bar.
Changed my UA string so many times, yet it still comes up the same as stock UA :/ This looks like a ROM problem!
