Mobile Safari iOS 5: Blurry websites

Anyone else having the issue, to see a blurried website after zooming in / out sometimes? It's just like my iPod wasn't able to sharpen the site again after zooming. Already killed Safari and restarted the iPod. Problem happens again sporadic after some hours. It's not really reproduceable.
I saw someone else having this issue on an iPhone using iOS 5

This started happening to me yesterday. Crazy bizarre. Text is almost unreadable.

Mobile Safari (iOS) HTML5 Audio 5.1

Hi there, I've made a HTML5 audio player which serves surround sound files (mp4). Works perfect on Safari desktop, but not on iOS. Is the mobile Safari Version unable to play multichannel files? cheers Henry

Website not asking permission for using location services in Safari iOS 6

Website is not asking permission for using location services when using Safari mobile on iOS 6.0 (iPhone 4s)
Steps to replicate:
1. Go to http://maps.google.com using Safari
2. Choose "allow" to use location services
3. Close Safari and wait 1-2 minutes such that the arrow sign (in the top right) disappears
4. Go to http://www.nature.com/news/economics-and-genetics-meet-in-uneasy-union-1.11565 using Safari
5. The arrow sign (in the top right) appears showing that the location services are used when viewing http://www.nature.com/news/economics-and-genetics-meet-in-uneasy-union-1.11565 (even few hours later)
Why the site http://www.nature.com/news/economics-and-genetics-meet-in-uneasy-union-1.11565 is not asking permission to use location services?
The Nature journal (site: ww.nature.com) is not affiliated with Google in any way as far as I know!

I figured out how to stop this from happening. I did 3 things, and I'm not exactly sure which one of them did it because I did them all at the same time.
1. Turned on Private Browsing
2. Cleared Cookies and Data
3. Turned off JavaScript
This stopped time.com from using my location without permission.
I then turned off Private Browsing and went back to the same page, and it continued to NOT use my location.
I'm thinking JavaScript being turned off might be the solution. However, there is a bug that causes JavaScript to turn on again without permission at times:
http://appleinsider.com/articles/12/12/21/ios-6-bug-reenables-javascript-in-safa ri-without-user-consent
So just be aware of that. But hopefully doing the above works for you!

Can you switch from a mobile site to a full site through iOS not the website??

Hi,
Is there a way to switch from a mobile website to a full site through iOS not the website becase the particular MOBILE website I am on does not offer the option to switch to full website??
Thankyou.
Kind Regards

Not with Safari. There are some browsers available from the App store that have that feature. I think iCab is one.

IOS 8 Mobile Safari Issues

Since upgrading to iOS 8 I have experienced issues when using Safari to log into my mobile bank. During the log in process, after entering the 3rd requested character of my password, the focus automatically 'tabs' from this field but the 'Continue' button is not responsive and a blue 'cursor' appears behind it. To continue I have to either click back into the last password character field and click 'Go' or click back into another field on the screen which then 'enables' the button.
I did not have this issue in iOS7 and Chrome browser does not have the issue. The website has not been changed so why has it suddenly changed its behaviour since the upgrade?
Further to this, since the iOS 8.1 upgrade, the 'scroll wheels' used to select, say, a date of birth do not 'remember' the value that you have scrolled to if you click on the next entry field without selecting 'Done'. Again, this was fine until the 8.1 upgrade.
I don't think saying that websites aren't compatible with the Safari updates is good enough as all other browsers I've used do not have the issue.
Any suggestions?
I'm definitely taking the plunge and using Chrome from now on (any issues I've reported seem to have been fixed within a few days), if not moving away from Apple all together if an issue isn't acknowledged and/or fixed (I can see via Google searches that other people are experiencing issues).

I've experienced something similar in that I was on vacation and trying to access the hotel's wifi. And what you expect to happen happened, click on the network to join and the terms and conditions page comes up. My mobile safari even said 'done' as in that it was a success. But in reality the right page hadn't come up and while it showed that I was online,, I really wasn't. I had to open a different browser to get the proper terms page to come up.
I do think there is an issue with how safari handles certain codes. Unfortunately I don't think there is much a user can do beyond have the work around (having browsers other than safari handy). If Apple decides to fix any coding issues with Safari, they'll just quietly do it and roll it out with an iOS update.
You can send them feedback and let them know that your bank's site doesn't work but beyond that there's not much users can do.

When will WebGL be supported on iOS Mobile Safari?

In our enterpirse we have developed a WebGL application using Three.js framework. Now, our customer wants it to run on Apple iPad. The problem is that we have found out that WebGL is only supported on iOS by using iAd. So we are wondering when will WebGL be supported on iOS mobile Safari to decide what to do.
Thanks!

Dunno, it's a bit off topic, but there's no way that an emulated ARM build of flash would even run at all on iOS at the current point, let alone 7 years ago.
It's not that you can't build good flash, it's just that people don't. As you've said, you can use a dumbed down, non-extensible Adobe GUI to spit out javascript, and it'll tank just the same. Adobe Photoshop used to be the most blazingly fast application on the Mac. Adobe are a different story these days. Flash is a resource hog, whereas javascript is outright inefficient at moving graphics around, although it is improving substantially.
Flex, on the other hand, is open source.
Flash was actually created by Adobe. Adobe owned the vector graphics bezier patents, so Macromedia couldn't build a GUI editor for their Shockwave platform, which was sort of C++ territory, for making CD ROMS. Not used a lot because of the manual type of input required.
Macromedia bought flash as a cheapo animation program with some strange usability ideas (such as applying boolean intersects to overlapping objects without asking you), but combining this legally-released and patent-free GUI editor with shockwave export capabilities made shockwave accessible to non-technical users. Who would pile on loads of effects, run it natively as an app to test, and then deploy it in a web plugin which runs far less efficiently. That's not exactly Flash's fault, but the fact that they've just ported it wholesale a whole bunch of times without a proper human rewrite makes for evil performance, a problem you don't have with javascript. You don't have to get what Adobe want to give you as a binary, like it or lump it.
iOS ***** in many ways, the fact that you have to reverse engineer everything and crack if you want to get even the most basic level of customisability and extensibility that you would expect on any decent computer is genuinely frightening. That device could also be up to absolutely anything behind your back, and you'd be none the wiser staring at the GUI. Just trust apple. Or ask somebody who has been prodding around in there with a sharp screwdriver.
Neither Adobe nor Apple have an entirely ideal character for the relationship to have worked. Adobe own a shedload of patents when it comes to the maths behind image processing technology. Adobe Postscript is built into OSX, comes from NeXT. Mr Jobs lost his rag with Adobe when Adobe forced Apple programmers to work on the code related to PostScript in some sort of high security bunker, and wouldn't let them take away anything but binaries. This made the development work a massive hassle. The Apple programmers also suggested that a lot of the code was hidden out of shame rather than out of protectionism. Adobe's real strength is legalised monopolies on basic image processing technology, they've owned it since they turned over Paintbox's patents on alpha blending of pixels.
Been using Apple & Adobe products as my day to day workhorse stuff for over 20 years. Adobe used to be just as bad as the other software firms for generally mean behaviour, but they did write hand-optimised C++, and every year they'd raise the bar with features that you actually need. Each new version would save you weeks in a month.
Post-internet, whole different ballgame. Different setup, $bns at stake now. Land grab for the new ultra-consumerised computer technology. The good thing about consumers is that you can subject them to abuse, they get a yea or nay decision. Do you want what we're giving you?
These sorts of computer industry companies used to be toolmakers for the graphics industry.
Now they're supplying the communications technology for everything. Consumables plugged into every industry in the world. That sort of power is a corrupting influence.

My new ios 7 safari defaults to chinese websites

When I want to look at the internet, safari has six sites with all Chinese wording. No yahoo or google. How to I get it back to the regular safari? This became an issue once I installed ios 7

The six websites include Wikipedia right? (: don't worry! This isn't a permanent thing. The only reason why it's in Chinese is because those websites are Chinese websites. First, go to the bookmarks bar (book icon beside cloud icon at top right hand corner of safari), go to your favourites, and start deleting the Chinese websites from the favourites! Then afterwards you can go to the different sites and add it to your favourites.

Image Won't Display In Mobile Safari

I'm developing a website, it validates properly, and it works perfectly in Chrome, FireFox, Internet Explorer, and Desktop Safari. The only problem that I'm having with it is in Mobile Safari for iOS. I have a div element with an <img> tag inside it. On a desktop browser, it will show it. However, iOS will display a missing image icon instead. This only occurs on iOS. You can test it out yourself by going to http://covu.optini.com first in your desktop browser and then again in your Mobile Safari browser. Could anyone please give me some insight as to why this would be happening? Thanks. All the other images display correctly in Mobile Safari.

Update: It works perfectly on iOS5 Mobile Safari. It isn't working on iOS 4.3.3's Safari.
I hate to double post, but the edit button wasn't showing up.

Is Mobile Safari's in-app multitasking (audio stream in one tab, browsing in another) gone for good?

I cannot remember the last iOS version this feature actually worked, but in the past, I used to be able to open a tab in Mobile Safari, begin streaming audio from a website, pinch in to bring up standard UI again, and then open up another tab within Safari itself and continue to browse the web. All the while the streaming audio is still playing in the background.
Now (and actually for the last few iOS versions, it's been a while), you cannot browse Safari while listening to a Safari audio stream at the same time. To me this makes no sense at all, because it's just a simple backgrounding concept. I can go off and use any other app on my phone, but not Safari itself.
There ARE a few ways to kind of trick Safari into allowing you to browse and listen, but it's a poor workaround. You can go to the website, tap-and-hold on the stream URL, then select Open in Background. Doing so will begin the stream and keep you in the current webpage and then allow you to open more tabs.
HOWEVER, if you ever select that audio stream tab, you can't control it consistently, and most of the time you'll get stuck in that tab and your solution is broken.
For YEARS I've been waiting for Apple to fix this silly limitation with each new iOS release, but every time I find that it's never fixed. I'm just surprised that I don't hear more people complaining about it, because it's been a huge source of frustration for me for so long.
Does anyone else experience this frustration or know if this is intentional (which would be enormously depressing if Apple purposely designed these functions) or if there are any better solutions to it than what I've come up with?

Thanks for the heads up.
Odd that I can't just email their support department.
I'll post back with my results.

Mobile Safari vCard Support

My company is trying to roll out new business cards that incorporate QR Codes. We were going to offer a download of our vCard through our website, but mobile safari apparently does not support downloading .vcf files.
We can't embed all of our information into the QR code itself because of size constraints. The only workaround we've found so far is to have clients send us their email address and then we send them back the vCard as an email attachment.
Please include vCard support for mobile safari in the next iOS release.

Yes, Apple, please do this. We are planning the same thing at our company.

How can I make google search links open in the same tab in mobile safari?

I have iphone 5 with ios 7.0.4 and my wife has the same one.
In my iphone, when I open one link of the google search result page, mobile safari always lauch a new tab and load the linke into the new tab.
But I want to make it open in the same tab and actually it does in my wife's iphone.
I don't know what difference make this...

Hi
Please take a look to this thread Re: Can I refresh the browser rather than open a new tab?

Images saved from Mobile Safari are significantly degraded

When I tried to use an image saved from Mobile Safari as my wallpaper I noticed that it looked horrible. It was blurry and more importantly the dynamic range of the image had been compressed, blowing out all the detail in the bright areas of the image and making it contrastier. This is especially bad on the type of photo I was trying to use, a high-key image, where most of the detail is in the light tones. Much of the image was simply displayed as blank white.
As a test I tried emailing the image I had saved into Photos to myself and compared it to the original I had saved from the web. Sure enough, the image was blurrier and had less dynamic range so it's not just an iPhone display issue. Also, the image was only 27% smaller in file size and the pixel dimensions were actually slightly increased. A quick re-save in Photoshop with JPEG quality set to low (4) reduced the file size by 53% while still not affecting the image anything like what the iPhone did. So it doesn't make sense that the poor quality is only due to resizing for faster transmission.
Can anyone else confirm this or replicate the issue? I've verified this with a 1st gen and 3G iPhone side by side, both running OS 2.1.

No, it's not only you.
I noticed it too. As a matter of fact, I just posted a really long post in a thread about iPhone/iPod Touch's photo quality.

Copy URL in iOS8 Mobile Safari

Mobile Safari in iOS 7 had a button that would copy the full URL of a page.
Is there also a "copy URL to clipboard" button for Mobile Safari in iOS 8? I've tried taping the "Copy" button but it does NOT copy the URL to the clipboard. What am I doing wrong?
Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Sorry for Bad spelling Caused by iPad Language settings!

Photo upload in Mobile Safari

Hi
It seems that I can't upload a photo through a website in Mobile Safari as the "choose file for upload" box is greyed out so won't let me choose a photo from my phone to upload.
Is there an update in iOS6 to sort this problem out?
Kind regards

Thanks again! Hopefully you're right; makes a lot of sense to enable file uploads from mobile devices seeing as there's several hundred million of them in use at present! Not long til iOS6, thank God! Cheers, again!

Long polling in iOS6 Mobile Safari

Mobile Safari on iOS 6 limits server connections to one per server, this appears to prevent long polling/comet in ajax web apps. Wondering whether it's recognised as changed behaviour from previous versions and is anyone aware of if it be fixed?

Long polling cannot be done synchronously because it would result in all webapp exectution waiting for the AJAX request to complete. The whole essence of long polling is that you do it asynchronously. For example: synchronously polling a service that takes 20 seconds to complete would result in the browser freezing for 20 seconds.
I will take that to mean that you haven't tried it yet.
I have now. And as I expected, synchronously polling causes the browser to hang. Also the XHR response never returns on the iPad but is cancelled after 10 seconds or so and then the second image is added. You can try it here: http://dev.negotica.net/iOSTest/index-sync.html .
