Belle browser desktop mode?

Is it possible to make websites display the desktop version of the page instead of the abridged mobile version? In Opera you can do it just by going into options, however there's nothing like that in the Belle browser.
Can it be done by modifying some files that contain the browser version which is sent to the websites?

Hi Bosoko2,
Thanks for posting. The Belle Browser doesn't let you change the view to desktop mode, many third party browsers like Opera have this option. You can find them in Nokia Store (http://store.ovi.com/).
Please let us know if you have any further questions.

Z10 Browser - Developer Tools. Desktop Mode & Disc Cache

Would anyone with a knowledge of the Z10 be able to explain whether these options are for the regular user - such as myself?
I do understand the function of "Web Inspector" ..yet I'm curious as to whether "Disc Cache" is needed in order for the browser to cache data to save me re-downloading the contents of a website every time I revisit, or even refresh a page.
Now as far as I can see, "Desktop Mode" seems to ensure that a full (non mobile) site version is loaded.
Is there something I'm missing?
Should I be leaving these settings to Developers?

yet not a great lot about those little-things.

Hello Simmo-
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
The Web Inspector feature was designed to assist mobile website developers to inspect mobile website content that is displayed in the BlackBerry Browser.
Desktop Mode allows the user to view the full website and not strictly the mobile version. However some websites have different redirection rules for visiting users. With this in mind the Desktop Mode may not always redirect you to the full website.
The Disc Cache function allows the BlackBerry Browser to cache information collected from websites visited on the BlackBerry Z10 smartphone.

Desktop Mode on The Z10 Browser.

I just switched the browser mode from mobile to desktop mode, I find the pages seem load a lot faster. I also enabled flash and wow I can actually see web sites similar to my desktop computer. Very impressed with the browser..

Basically it tells the web server that you're using Internet Explorer instead of a BlackBerry - very handy for some websites that insist on providing the mobile version when you want the whole shebang.

Quicktime does not work in firefox 24 in windows 8 desktop mode

I am running Firefox 24 on Windows 8 Pro 64-bit in desktop mode. I have QuickTime Plug-in 7.7.4 installed. But when I try to go http://trailers.apple.com/trailers/ and play trailers all I get is black box and nothing is playing. No prompting to authorize a plugin, no error message, nothing. I tried to see if it will work with other browsers, so I tried Google Chrome. I went to the website, got prompted to authorize the plugin and then was able to play trailers without any problems. The page won't even render correctly under IE. So, it makes me conclude that it is a browser problem. Can you help me please? Thanks.

Is his in a normal tab or in a private tab?
Try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.
*Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

Windows 8 Desktop Mode Apps have no access to internet

I've seen a couple people ask questions about their browsers not working in desktop mode for Windows 8, and none of them were answered. I've got the same problem with mine, however it's any application that runs in desktop mode.
Problem: NO application running desktop mode has internet, games, browsers, chat programs...nothing.
History:
-Was running Windows 7 Ultimate and upgraded to Windows 8, choosing to migrate over all my applications files and personal settings.
-Metro style apps and browsers have no problems accessing the internet
Attempts:
-attempted to reset IE 10 Desktop mode to all default settings, clearing browser cache, SSL slate, and resetting to default.
-attempted to reinstall chrome.
-running CMD prompt in desktop mode, able to ping and use DNS as normal
-Windows 8 defender is disabled, running MS Forefront for AV.
-forcibly set my adapter DNS to a google dns 8.8.8.8
Any idea's what to try next?

hi there rebirth16 i had the exact same problem upgraded from windows 7 64bit to windows 8 pro and my desktop apps would not connect to the internet but the apps on metro did :-s. (strange) i upgraded with all my software and personal files intact im not
sure but some setting or some program caused the internet on the desktop to not connect. after a day of going through the pc my solution was to reinstal windows 8 but selected for it to just keep personal files i.e music pictures videos but not software after
that the finished the internet worked perfect well happy now down side you need to reintal your programs but this is the only way i could fix it.

In any case, I don't think 2MB+ of defective junk should cause the Nokia browser to continually refresh and keep the screen on. I would still classify that as a bug.
The page in question does not work fine in any browser, desktop or mobile. It can't, since its html source and scripts doesn't add up - it's only a question when and where the browser decide to stop loading the page. I'm unable to determine whether the page author deliberately try and exploit weaknesses in browsers, or if he is just trying to make some dollars from the affiliates scripts and other stuff on the page, and lacks the competence to do it properly.
With my standard restrictive and safe settings in Internet Explorer 9 only the main page is shown, none of the comments. It looks about the same as in the Nokia browser with java/ECMA script turned off.
I agree that the Nokia browser should not be looping on defective scripts - but I still want it to show as much as possible of most websites, also when it is not made for mobile devices. That's the challenge for the developers.

Is there any user agent to differentiate firefox metro and desktop mode?

My application runs with silverlight plugin.I have to provide a user friendly message in metro mode that the plugin is not supported?
How will I detect if firefox is running in desktop or metro mode?
Please reply.Very urgent

Hi, I'm one of the Firefox for Metro developers. Right now there's no UA difference between the Metro and desktop modes, and I'm not sure if there's a good way for web developers to detect the lack of plugin support when running in Metro mode. I've filed this bug to investigate and fix this problem:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=938722
You might also be interested in this bug; we'd like to have the Metro browser automatically provide a useful message to users on pages that require plugins:

Muse-Smart phone-Desktop Mode

Is there a way to add a button or something that would allow the user to switch to desktop mode? I would like to show off a website on a big screen TV (with apple tv) controling it from an Iphone. I'm assuming the quality would be much lower from a phone mode. Any advice. Thanks

Just put a hyperlink to the desktop home page on your mobile site (and a link to your mobile site on your desktop site so you can get back).
Note that once you've followed a link to the desktop site on your phone, your phone will continue to navigate to desktop pages until you either follow a link that explicitly goes back to the mobile site or clear cookies in your mobile browser.

Metro firefox opens desktop mode instead of metro mode

Whenever I tap the metro app of Nightly, it always opens the desktop mode instead of the metro version. Nightly is set as default browser so it should open the metro version of this.

The way to switch to Metro mode changed recently. In the latest version of Nightly, you can press the menu button (three horizontal lines at the right end of the toolbar), then press "Windows 8 Touch" to switch from desktop to Metro mode.
After you do this, Nightly will continue to open in Metro mode automatically unless you switch back by choosing "Relaunch in the desktop" from the toolbar menu.

Belle Browser Issues

I've run across a few sites that won't stop refreshing (they never finish loading). Can anyone else duplicate on other Belle phones? Does Anna have the same problem?
Here is a site to test with that's just an Ubuntu / Linux news blog. The homepage loads fine but one (or possibly more) of the stories do not. http://www.webupd8.org/2012/02/encrypt-dns-traffic-in-linux-with.html
Yes, I have a good internet (wi-fi) connection. I actually tried loading that page and walked away to have lunch. After returning, the page was still reloading and screen was still on. Yes, it drains battery really fast.

Tablet PC calibration error in Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator CS3 whilst in Extended Desktop Mode

Hey everyone!
I've run into a snag which hasn't bugged me before because I never used a second monitor, but now that I do, Photoshop and Illustrator don't function properly.
I am running my Adobe products on my Lenovo X61 Thinkpad Tablet, which is Wacom PenEnabled. It's got the basic digitizer pen and pen pressure features, no stylus tilt or anything.
Whenever I run Photoshop or Illustrator in Extended Desktop Mode so I can have a different window open on my external monitor and the Adobe app on my tablet screen, my stylus goes strange. It seems to think that the extended desktop is part of the Adobe window, so when I move my stylus to draw, the cursor will appear on the external monitor, usually proportionate to the size of the screen...ie. It interprets the external and tablet screens as one desktop and the top left corner of my tablet screen is the top left of my external, whilst the bottom right on tablet IS the bottom right on tablet, if that makes any sense...sorry.
So I can't draw anything in photosho unless I set it back to standard desktop mode, or mirrored desktop. I've searched over the net and these forums and I can't find a fix for this. I was walking in harvey norman the other day and the Wacom Cintiq 12" was there on display, and it had the same issue with extended desktop and photoshop.
Has anyone had this issue before and/or does anyone know of a fix for it? I'll keep searching around and playing with the computer until I fix it and I'll post any solutions I find here if noone else has one.
My system details are:
Abobe Photoshop CS3 10.0.0
Adobe Illustrator CS3 13.0.0
OS: Windows Vista Build 6001, Service Pack 1, 32bit
RAM: 2GB
HD: 18.2GB free Disk Space (out of 66.3GB on the Active Partition)
Video: Intel GMA: Mobile Intel(R) 965 Express Chipset Family

I'm using an HP tx2011au tablet pc, using adobe flash cs3 and have the exact same problem. it becomes decalibrated only while the flash window is open, and only while flash has a file open, and only when using an extended desktop. even if flash is open and it has no files open it works fine.

Why does Digital Edition not work in desktop mode for WIndows 8?

I have installed the most recent version of JAVA and then downloaded and installed Digital Editions. I can open Digital Editions in desktop mode but when I select a book I cannot turn the page or move to a new page by any means. The only thing that seems to work is to select a new page and then toggle between full screen and partial.

I don't think ADE uses Java at all.
I run it in desktop mode in WIndows 8 and it reads books and turns pages fine: either using the left-right arrow keys,
or clicking on the forward/back buttons each side of the scrollbar at the bottom of the page.
There are lots of bugs in ADE2.0, and even though that isn't a bug for me it may be for you.
Try replacing ADE2.0 with the older but more reliable v1.7.2.
(You can have them both installed at once if you like.)
Version 1.7.2, it is a little difficult to find, available on Adobe site for Windows and for Mac.

Cs4 project loaded as desktop mode in cs5

Hello:
Just made the full upgrade yesterday from cs4 to cs5 on windows 7 from vista using the matrox with max. Loving the HD editing. I also tried to open an SD cs4 project in cs5. While opening, and after the message that tells you it is converting to cs5, I got this message - 'The editing mode used by this sequence could not be loaded. The sequence will be opened in desktop mode.' So the project opened, I created a new sequence with the matox settings and cut and pasted the original sequence into it. Any area that had to be rendered went pixelized. The only way I could get rid of this was to remove all colour correction, effects and transitions. When I reintroduced them, I ended up with the same result. I have found a work around, and that is opening a new project and importing the old cs4 project into it rather than just trying to open the cs4 project with cs5. Rather than using matrox settings, I just rerendered the sequence and it works fine, however, I don't have my program monitor which is controled through matrox. This will be the last of two SD projects, but wondered if anyone else had this issue.
Thanks, Christine

Yes, the Export function is the best that you will be able to do. There is usually forward compatibility between versions' Projects (though with a few pitfalls and failures), but there has never been backward compatibility. Closest that I have ever seen was some CS3 Encore Projects would Open in EncoreDVD 2.0, but that does not help you.
Good luck,
Hunt
