Redirecting to mobile sites

How do I get safari to go to the site I type in, instead of redirecting me to the worthless mobile site?

It's not Safari redirecting you; it's the website itself. The site can detect you're using a mobile browser and will automatically redirect you to their mobile site. They do sometimes provide a link to load the normal site, which is usually located somewhere near the bottom of the page. Be aware the regular site is usually much more graphic-intense, slower to load, and therefore more costly depending on your data plan/usage.

  • How do i get Safari to stop redirecting to mobile sites?

    Mobile websites are a curse, and IMO was one of the main reasons people didn't use the mobile web before the iPhone. Now with the iPhone you can view the actual web (minus flash, which I would really like to see soon, hint hint), without having to deal with these crippled sites, yet most of them still redirect you to their mobile site.
    Someone please tell me there is a way to get safari on the iPhone to stop redirecting to mobile sites without jailbreaking my phone.

    These redirects are controlled by the websites themseives. They figure out if you are on a mobile phone or not and then redirect you to the mobile version.
    The only way to change that is to look for a link on their site that leads to the full version or write the website webmaster asking them for a link to be added.
    There are other ways as well but those aren't supported by Apple so they can't be discussed here.

  • Page continues redirecting to mobile site.

    I have my website www.jorgeromero.me (I'm still a beginer so please give me opinios on what to improve, thanks)
    I have designed a mobile view of my regular site and in the head of the Desktop View site  I placed the following Java Script to redirect to mobile site to devices less than 800 px:
    <script type="text/javascript">
    <!--
    if (screen.width <= 800) {
    window.location = "http://www.jorgeromero.me/welcome-to-my-page-mobile/";
    //-->
    </script>
    It works very well in mobile devices, the only thing I've noticed is that when I click "desktop view" to go to the regular site, it will keep redirecting me to the mobile site which makes sense because Java Script is doing what it's been asked for.
    I tried placing this code in the head of the mobile site to redirect to the desktop view but it only makes a loop in the browser which also makes sense
    <script type="text/javascript">
    <!--
    if (screen.width >= 800) {
    window.location = "http://www.jorgeromero.me";
    //-->
    </script>
    My question is.... what could I do in order to still be able to visit the desktop site when I click "desktop view" in the mobile site.
    Thanks a lot in advance for your help!!

    Thank you!!  I will definitely try this, thanks a lot for your reply.
    When placing the cookie do I have to keep the Java Script redirection code in my mobile site header??
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width; initial-scale=1.0; maximum-scale=1.0; minimum-scale=1.0; user-scalable=0;" />

  • Redirect to mobile site {subject edited by moderator}

    hello i have a website and a mobile site when i try to upload the mobile site files it ask to over write the main website files ?help in cs6

    You can do this with javascript on the main site's default page -
    <script type="text/javascript">
    if (screen.width <= 730) {
      window.location = "http://www.example.com/m";
    var ua = navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase();
    var isAndroid = ua.indexOf("android") > -1; //&& ua.indexOf("mobile");
    if(isAndroid && screen.width <= 730) {
      // Do something!
      // Redirect to Android-site?
      window.location = 'http://www.example.com/m';
    </script>
    If either of those tests return true, the user is redirected to the default page in the "m" subdirectory which would be where your mobile site and its dependent files are located.

    As a note, you can double tap the Home button and select the iPod app as that is what I'm doing now. It's not intuitive and you would think if you select Done you'd go back to the folder list in the iPod app.

  • Mobile devices not redirecting to Mobile Site

    I've trawled through all other discussions covering this topic and checked that all files and scripts have uploaded correctly (I used the Muse uploader to ftp the site).  The site is hosted with HostGator reseller hosting.
    Everything seems to be okay but phones are still displaying the desktop version of the site.
    http://www.bellbuilding.com.au
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi,
    I tested on a Samsung Galaxy S4 and the site redirected to the /phone/index.html just fine.
    Could you confirm what device are you seeing the Desktop version on? Also, try clearing browser cache/data on the device, if that helps.
    Cheers,
    Vikas

  • Redirecting between a desktop-browser site and a mobile site

    My company is inheriting a site built by another party in CQ5. This site is intended to be viewed on a desktop browser. We are tasked with building a mobile site for it. Our creative department would like the user's browser to be detected, and if the user requests a page on the desktop site from a mobile browser, they would be redirected to the mobile site. Is there any way to do this on the server side without disabling caching on the site?

    true
    nevertheless, you need it in places for uncached requests. additionally you have the options of:
    - javascript redirect (allows you to build an "opt-out" for the user, i.e. the user wants to stay on desktop regardless of mobile device, via cookie)
    <script language=javascript>
    <!--
    if (navigator.userAgent.match(/mobile/i))
       location.replace("http://mobile.myurl.com");
    -->
    </script>
    - apache configuration redirect
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^.*(mobile).*$ [NC]
    RewriteRule ^$ http://m.example.com/ [L,R=302]
    </IfModule>

  • Can I avoid being redirected to "mobile" web sites?

    Whenever I go on sites like CNN or, lately espn, I am automatically redirected to their mobile site instead. This is not what I want. Can I stop it??

    I see the mod's been busy on this thread. I hope we're allowed to post links? Here's your link to the CNN.com non-mobile site:
    http://www.CNN.com/index.html
    It could be useful if someone would put together a list of links such as this on a website some place for the most popular sites. Or it could be a legitimate iPhone update that people want to be able to disable the auto redirect beause they feel they have enough speed and bandwidth, or otherwise prefer the regular site
    I tried using Google to search for the link but wasn't very successful. Why don't you guys post some feedback to your friendly Apple support on the subject?
    PS: If your guys are going to charge you for mobile site access, I have a hard time believing they're not going to nickel and dime you for data downloaded for regular sites. Do you have unlimited Internet through your provider? But I guess that's beside the point. Basically, if you don't want to rely on external sources for getting your links, you will have to pay your provider the $36 a year for mobile site access so you can get to the sites you want easily, until Apple upgrades the phone or someone writes an App. Heck, there may be one out there already! You do like your phone otherwise, don't you?

  • IWeb, mobile sites, redirection...

    I'm working on this website http://www.davidpaulcarr.com using iWeb.
    I have also been playing with making a separate site for mobile devices which can be seen here http://davidpaulcarr.wayma.com .
    The idea, ultimately, is to add .3gp "light" versions of the flash content that is on the main website to a mobile one so that visitors using devices unable to use flash can access at least some of the main content (I hope that's clear!).
    There are various things I would like to do -
    1) Redirect visitors using mobile devices to a separate site adapted to their needs.
    2) Not use wayma.com (or a similar service) to make this mobile website - the functions are very limited, the default font is ugly and I can't get it to echo the design of the main website. Ideally, I would build the mobile site myself, using iWeb again.
    My questions -
    1) How to redirect visitors using mobile devices ? (I posted recently on a similar topic, followed up the leads but didn't get anything that worked).
    2) Is it possible to make a mobile site myself in iWeb and host it on my server? I suppose there are optimal page and font sizes, for a start...
    Any advice will be gratefully received. Please bear in mind that I have limited html skills, slowly learning what I need as I go along...

    Thanks for your reply!
    I was familiar with that thread and had added the Chris Bailey (modified) code to the appropriate page.
    I then - on the basis that my iPod touch would be recognized the same way as an iPhone (which I don't posess) - accessed the page but was not redirected, so I assumed the code wasn't working.
    Perhaps accessing from an iPod Touch isn't the same as accessing from an iPhone, I don't know...
    Anyway, I think I'm looking for a more global redirection solution that would work for smartphones, Blackberrys, anything with a big enough screen to usefully view my content...
    Any ideas about page size and fonts ? (and more generally whether I can use iWeb to cobble together a mobile website)...

  • 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.

  • Links in facebook redirecting to phone site

    I have chared a link on facebook to promote my company site. When i clicked it on my desktop the page opened fine. When I clicked a link within the page it redirected to the phone site. I checked and double checked and the links were good.
    I tried it in chrome and it worked fine. But safari seems to be choosing the phone site for every link.
    Any suggestions where I should start looking? The first time I uploaded my site it was with the wrong link to the phone site. But after this is corrected safari still seems to get it wrong.

    Hey
    thanks! I think it was a cache issue with my first wrong link to the mobile website. I was really sweating my pants of. Thanks again!

    Hi Johannes,
    Even on Safari (6.0.5) clicking on the gif or logo at bottom, it takes me to http://www.mozesmedia.be/index.html which is the desktop version.
    Have you tried clearing Safari cache or resetting your Safari or tried on Safari in a different machine?
    Cheers,

  • Live site with mobile site under construction

    I have developed a desktop site which has been uploaded to a local server and is now live. I am now working on the smartphone version of the site which may take a few weeks to complete. I notice that once the mobile version is opened in the Muse file, any uploaded changes of the desktop site on the server include a manifest file that reflects the existence of a mobile version and automatically redirect any visits from smart phones to that version, even though it is unfinished. This is not what I want to do until the mobile version is completed.
    Is there a preferred way that allows work on one version of a site while another version is already live? Is it as simple as making a copy of the Muse file under a different name and then renaming and uploading the entire site from that copy of the Muse file when it is finished?

    The other option is you can create a Homepage for Mobile which can say "Mobile site under construction" create a link there to go to Desktop site.
    While creating the link, make sure you link it to the Desktop Homepage. And in plan view of Mobile site, make sure you uncheck the "Export Page" option of all the pages so that when you Publish/Upload the site, the other mobile pages are not uploaded.
    Regards,
    Sachin

  • IWeb mobile site won't work

    I published an iWeb website and when I try to visit it on my iPhone, the phone automatically redirects the URL to "m.websitename.com" (even if I delete the m.) and then shows a message of "We are sorry, there is no such site.". I haven't found anything on iWeb about mobile sites, so I'm not sure why the mobile device won't just visit the normal site.

    Contact your host's tech support and ask them if they have a redirect on the server.
    Now that having a mobile version of your site is essential if you are in business, its usually set up as a sub domain with the prefix "m." or "mobile."
    Most hosting services allow us to decide which method, if any, to use to direct mobile visitors to the appropriate version of the site. Some have obviously decided to do it for us using either .htaccess or a server side script!
    Maybe you should leave it in place and take this as a strong hint to create a mobile compatible version of your site. It is possible to do this using iWeb if you think about it.

  • Mobile site pages "noindex" ?

    I've built a separate mobile site just for use with smartphones. When a smartphone device is detected by java script it redirects the user to the mobile site. Compared to the desktop/tablet version, the mobile site has fewer pages, less content/images and is optimized to work on a smartphone.  My question relates indexing of these mobile only pages?  Should I restrict the search engines from indexing these mobile only pages using  or using the admin panel checkbox to "exclude from Search Results"? Any thoughts on how to treat "mobile only pages" with regards to indexing?  Thanks!

    Liam,   Not sure what you mean "May I ask why you not looked at the BC built in stuff for this with the templates, custom pages and the system tags for this?"  It's not obvious to me that there's one best approach to mobile sites in BC.  Could you explain what you mean or point me in that direction?   Frankly, I have a hard time keeping up with what's new in BC, what actually works and in some cases how to use it.  I've recently started using Kiyuco to help expand my BC knowledge.  Any other suggestions are certainly welcome.  Thanks

  • Opinions needed on best way to add a mobile site

    We have an existing somewhat older website that does not nicely support mobile devices. While it looks and works fine on tablets, it becomes somewhat unusable on smartphones. We do not have the time/dollars at this point to start from scratch and rebuild with all of the latest bells and whistles. So the question becomes what is the cleanest/fastest/easiest way to add a mobile website. In trying to research this answer, it appears there is no one right answer. I actually have found many possibilities. Right now I have Dreamweaver CS5 and am not going to upgrade any time soon or change tools.
    Here are some possibilities I'm considering:
    Adding a new "home" page and letting the user decide to either "go lean and mobile" or go wide screen and use the full website. This doesn't seem too bad to me since I'm clearly going to have to maintain 2 websites in the near term.
    From there I see choices where the direction is chosen based on the OS or it is chosen based on the screen size. I have seen some based on Javascript and some CSS based. It just gets pretty confusing to know which is best.
    We are adding online ordering (pizza place) and want to definitely make it useable for the mobile world. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
    As a follow on question, how big of a problem would we run into (how many phone users might we anger) if we used a js based menu on our mobile sit?. Not sure how many devices/OS don't support javascript.
    Thanks so much!
    Donna

    If you go down this slippery slope, trying to identify mobile user-agents is the single biggest obstacle you will face.  The list is understandably huge and constantly changing.   To make matters worse, many browsers pretend to be other browsers. So sniffing for mobile devices and redirecting them to your mobile only site is not only a major chore, it's not even 100% reliable.  And then there's the matter of maintaining 2 separate sites...  Oh, don't even go there.
    Re-code your current site to make it Responsive.  Below are several Frameworks you can use to jump start your new layouts.
    Foundation Zurb
    http://foundation.zurb.com/templates.php
    Skeleton Boilerplate
    http://www.getskeleton.com/
    Initializr (HTML5 Boilerplate, Responsive or Bootstrap)
    http://www.initializr.com/
    DMX Zone's Bootstrap *free Extension for DW*
    http://www.dmxzone.com/go/21759/dmxzone-bootstrap/
    Project Seven's Page Packs *Commercial CSS Templates for DW*
    http://www.projectseven.com/products/templates/index.htm
    Whichever menu system you choose, it needs to be user friendly for desktops as well as touch screen devices.  CSS styled lists are the foundation to build on.  Then you can add jQuery MeanMenu to make it mobile friendly.  I have a working example of it below (resize your browser viewport):
