How to prevent mobile version of website?

I used to be able to view non mobile version of CNN
on iPhone. Now, only m.cnn.com will load.
Is there a way to prevent this? Other sites like fandango
do the same.
Thanks

I received the same canned response from CNN. My concern is that they may be intentionally pushing the mobile version onto iPhone users for reasons beyond me. I say that because I've had access to the full version of the CNN home site since I bought the iPhone last June until (miraculously) this week. So that raises two questions...first, why now? Second, how hard could it be to provide the fix if I've had the full version for so long so far? I guess we will know their intentions over the next few weeks; it would be interesting to know how many others have recently been forced into the mobile version (and are now complaining). In the meantime, The New York Times offers the full version on the iPhone so they've now become my main source of news.

  • Mobile version of website – not filling the screen

    I'm building a mobile version of a website and I want the site to be 221 pixels wide to fit nicely into a mobile device's screen. However, when the site is viewed from a cell phone, it comes up tiny and I have to zoom in to get it to fill the screen.
    Anyone know how to make it open zoomed in already?
    Here's a link to the site: http://www.lakesideinn.com/mobi/

    This solution works great for iPhone but have noticed that it does not work for PC or Blackberry phones. The code I used to fit the page to the screen was "
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width; initial-scale=1.0; maximum-scale=1.0;">"
    but it does not work on PC or Blackberry

  • Search picks up desktop version rather than mobile version of website on smartphone

    Hi
    ive ive recently added a mobile version of my muse website. However I've notiiced that when searching for a freelance creative artworker and selecting my site www.paulsutton-artwork.co.uk on my android phone, it's loading up the desktop version and not the mobile version?
    im confused!
    could anyone shed any light on this please.
    many thanks
    paul

    HI
    thanks for your reply, however I'm not clear on what you mean.
    ive typed in the domain name on my smartphone and it's bringing up the desktop version. I've checked again doing a search for Freelance Creative Artworker and when I see my URL I click on it but it's still bringing up desktop version.  The only time it brings up phone version is if I type www.paulsutton-artwork.co.uk/phone/index?
    id also like to add that as a test I published my site via bc. Strangely enough if I type in the bc URL on my phone it loads up the mobile site, so it appears to work on bc. So does this look like it's something to do with way files are being uploaded to be web host?  I've also read someone had a problem with a htaccess file?
    ive ive now tried uploading all files via FTP. Still the same result. I've notiiced that my phones URL is now showing www.paulsutton-artwork.co.uk/index.html?devicelock=desktop
    can someone please help me with this as I'm tearing my hair out!
    thanks again

  • Defaulting to mobile versions of websites

    Many websites seem to default to their mobile versions when accessing them from the ipad. Most then don't allow you to opt to access the full website...any ways to overcome this?
    Also for the past week 80% of the time when the yahoo website is clicked on it automatically defaults to some site called mediaplex, which is weird. This happen to anyone else, any possible reasons? Thanks.

    The iPad is not a netbook or a computer replacement. The iPad runs the iPhone OS, which is an optimized version of OS X, so the full Safari version available for a Mac and a Windows PC is not available with the iPad. Safari on the iPad is detected as a mobile version of Safari. Most of the websites I visit that redirect me to the mobile version for the website include an option - a link to view the full version of the website and when selected, this is saved as a cookie.

  • Design considerations for mobile version of website

    My company has just implemented a new version of our coporate website using Oracle Portal, and ADF. However we do not have comprehensive mobile support but it is required. From my research I've learned we should be using ADF mobile. However, the resources I have found have been geared more at developers and I work as a Business Analyst. Can you point me to online resources (white papers, tutorials etc.) that deal with requirements and design considerations for porting over to a mobile version?
    Thanks in advance.

    My apologies for lateness in checking this thread.
    Here is an article I wrote that might help. Most of the paper is geared toward developer, but the first few sections talks about best practices for mobile browser app in general, not just for iPhone. http://www.oracle.com/technology/pub/articles/huang-iphone.html
    You can also check out this link: http://www.orato cle.com/technology/tech/wireless/adf_mobile.html.
    As for design consideration, a few rules of thumb:
    - First, obviously use ADF Mobile and Trinidad components. We put a lot of effort in adding rendering support for different mobile devices.
    - Next, figure out what devices you want to support. Browsers found in smartphones varies greatly, and in consumer/feature phones, the support is even less consistent. In general you should be able create one app/set of screens for all mobile devices, but you should plan on having ability to test it out on different devices.
    - Determine what information is really needed by mobile user. Not all information available in desktop application may be applicable for mobile users
    - Design your mobile screens based on a few key principals:
    - Display data as user needs it, instead of trying to display everything. For example, instead of displaying master-detail data on the same screen, break it out into 2 screens. Master data may be a list, and user would click on a particular piece of data to look at the details of that master record.
    - Provide navigation buttons on each screen, and ensure they are easy to get to on a page. For example, using the iPhone paradigm, there is a navigation bar at the top of the page where you can go between views.
    - Place command buttons at location where it's easy for user to get to. For example, if you need to allow user to modify a long list of fields, you may want to place save button on top and button of the screen, so user can easily get to it without having to scroll around too much.
    - Use style sheets to achieve mobile-platform optimized UI. For example, if you intend to support touch screen devices (iPHone, BB Storm, etc), then style your application so buttons, command links, etc, are big enough so it's easy to get to. For non-touch screen devices, then it's OK to compress the UI, but ensure user can easily flow between controls to get to the functionality they need. For example, using a trackball to scroll to a button.
    Thanks,

  • How to start mobile version of you tube videos on windows7 with vnd.youtube protocol?

    When I use you tube of mobile version on my laptop(windows7 ultimate) and when I click to start the video of mobile version it shows following error on monitor------>
    {{The address wasn't understood
    Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because one of the following protocols (vnd.youtube) isn't associated with any program or is not allowed in this context.
    You might need to install other software to open this address.}}
    Please help me to start the videos of youtube of mobile version on my laptop for this problem.

    You would need a mobile device to have support for this protocol.
    Maybe the Firefox OS simulator will work.

  • Mobile version of website is too small on the smart phone...

    I have made a computer and a mobile version of the site www.talerskolen.dk. Muse shows the mobile version on the mobile device but the size is wrong. Used the default 380 px mobile setup - and looks ok when previewed but not when viewed on the phone?

    There are some add-ons that can be used to change the zoom level on all sites, for example:
    * NoSquint - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/nosquint
    * Default FullZoom Level - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/default-fullzoom-level

  • Is anyone having issues with Windows 8 phones not loading mobile versions of websites?

    I was just wondering if anyone with a Windows phone is having problems loading the mobile site version of a Muse site when viewed on the phone? or if there is a known bug or incompatability?

  • Just downloaded Mountain Lion and now Safari keeps directing me to mobile version of website

    For what ever reason this only happens when I go to one specific site (audiusa.com).  I have posted on an audi forum and I appear to be the only one having this issue.  Also, I can use the site correctly via google chrome on my Mac and PC.
    This leads me to believe that there is a Safari setting that I must be missing.  Any help is appreciated.
    TIA
    11" MacBook Air w/ OS X Mountain Lion

    This helped.  But for whatever reason, the "default" user agent keeps sending it to mobile site.  I changed the user agent to google (mac) and it works that way.

  • How to fix Firefox version of website (?)

    Trying again. My first post attempt resulted in a blank page
    because there was no "post" or "save" function available and I
    finally gave up in disgust. There is a "Post Message" button below
    this text box, replacing the "Edit Message" button that was there
    before, along with the usual "Preview" "Attach Code" and "Cancel"
    buttons that were always there. No, I'm not kidding. Maybe it will
    actually work this time. Anybody ever have problems with posting to
    these forums, besides me?
    Anyway, please take a look at www.cheltenhamhomecare.com in
    both IE and Firefox and tell me how to fix the code so the bar and
    email link at the bottom of the page will hug the bottom of the
    browser window, as they do in IE? In Firefox, the only way to get
    to them is to scroll down all the way. There must be some solution,
    right? Anybody?
    Thanks in advance...
    Jonathan

    First, you have enough errors to be concerned about:
    http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.cheltenhamhomecare.com%2F
    2nd, those errors and the absence of a DOCTYPE are kicking Fx
    into quirks
    mode. That may be a factor and must be fixed regardless.
    Next, it looks like you may have used code generated by
    ImageReady, If so,
    that is always suspect as image editing apps are notorious
    for spewing out
    verbose, fragile code.
    I see you are using some incredibly large spacer gifs, rarely
    a good idea.
    Finally, the page is full of deprecated tags such as
    <font>.
    I think your entire construction approach is too flawed to
    ever be
    successful.
    Sorry.

  • I keep being redirected to mobile versions of most sites even though I'm using my desktop...Help!

    For some reason recently, my computer has decided that I'm always using a mobile device and I keep getting redirected to mobile versions of websites. I do use my phone to broadcast a wifi hotspot but I had been using it for months with no issue to the webpages until just a few weeks ago. Most times I can go to the bottom of the page and change it back to desktop but it never keeps it that way. I have run into the issue with my yahoo and aol mail where the mail page won't load at all so I can't change it to desktop nor can I see my mail. I can't figure out how to stop this from happening and it's becoming increasingly frustrating to not be able to view my mail on my computer. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Reload web page(s) and bypass the cache.
    * Press and hold Shift and left-click the Reload button.
    * Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
    * Press "Cmd + Shift + R" (MAC)
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • Mobile Version of Formscentral form

    How can I use my formscentral created form on a mobile website?  It looks good on regular website, but I also need it on mobile version of website - and I need it useable on mobile version.

    There are a few things you can do:
    When you are on the "Design" tab of your form go to "File" - "Form Setup".  In Form Setup you can define the form width to something that is mobile friendly, since there are so many variations in mobile you will have to figure out what pixel width works best for you (for an iPad 1000 works well). 
    Another thing you can do is only add a few fields per page so most or all of the form fits into the page and the user clicks Next to go through the pages/fields. 
    Larger fonts, like 16 will look better on mobile as well.
    Thanks,
    Josh

  • Stop 'mobile' versions of webpages

    I have looked all through the settings for Firefox Android version, and can't find it: Is there some why to stop Firefox from loading 'mobile' versions of websites, when there isn't a "show full site" option on webpage.

    Use the Phony extension and set the option to desktop Firefox.

  • Mac Safari open website in mobile version sometimes, such as GoogleTranslate. How to solve it

    Sometimes Mac Safari open website in mobile version, such as GoogleTranslate. How to solve it?
    I use iPhone and iPad as well, but I never open google translate page using safari both on iPhone and iPad. Just use the GoogleTranslate App sometimes.
    Why does my Mac Safari open google translate page in mobile version for no reason?

    If you use iCloud to synchronize Safari with a mobile device, you may be opening a bookmark to the mobile version of the site. Another possibility is that you're getting a Handoff activity from the device.
    Remove everything from the URL except the domain name and try again. For instance, if the URL is something like this:
    http://www.example.com/mobile
    or
    http://mobile.example.com
    change it to this:
    http://www.example.com

  • All websites automatically going to Mobile versions when using safari and firefox (likely started after mavericks update) Anyone have any idea how to fix this?
