Mobile Access Problems

Have you tried one of the alternate free browsers?

Opera, SkyFire, etc?

Opera, Firefox, Chrome and the unnamed thing that came with the 'phone. Same problem with all.

Chrome and Firefox I think are pretty close, and I believe Opera is also a similar build.

You might look among the free browsers that allow you to emulate a desktop.

SkyFire allows the option of presenting yourself as a desktop to websites. Note, Skyfire is not Firefox. I think there is a free version, however it is the one and only piece of add on software I have paid for... it was a couple bucks. I'm not at all disappointed, as that one feature alone is very convenient.

Of course if you can't verify with a trial version that there are benefits, then I wouldn't recommend switching to alleviate your problem...as it might not.

Have downloaded, installed and tested Skyfire. Same problem.

damn. Sorry.

.

Did you remember to set the browser to behave like a desktop? I think the default is mobile....

Worth a try - thanks.

No sign of any option to behave like a desk-top. I got version 5.0 of the browser, which is all Google Play Store offered me.

On mine, selecting the icon in the upper right hand corner that looks like a downward pointed triangle in a circle...

opens a drop down menu...

'Settings' is about halfway down...

Selecting 'Settings' opens a black menu....

that displays 'Browser Settings' about mid screen....

That selection, opens a menu with 'Load page as' about half screen.

'Load page as' should allow you to select between desktop and browser.....until recently I could even access Hulu as if I were on a desktop, and I understand they are typically pretty strict.

.

My version is a little older and I don't update since some great features are grandfathered in.

I hope I haven't wasted your time with this download... it really would be a shame if this option has changed on skyfire.

My 'Settings' menu has General/Privacy & security/Accessibility/Advanced/Bandwidth management/Labs. Sadly, none of the sub-menus includes 'Load page as'.

UHG. Sorry to lead you down this fruitless path.

You were definitely thinking along the right lines - I saw Savvy's note in the Announcement - grabbed my Galaxy, opened Chrome, checked the "request desktop site" box and got straight in.

Yaaay! (and thanks, both to you and Savvy).

It is interesting that it just happened, I'm monitoring this and the other thread........ but it seems that the bug to have been generated from an update....... but thats a guess.

^{Whats the term......... don't fix something if its not broke? ;)}

The Admins, have their work cut out for them

Here's a more direct hyper link that works .......

- guess I should've "searched CR4" first .

Well, your did mention a problem I am having on one of my Microsoft platform but not all). I can't insert an emoticons. :)

Give your browser a hard refresh (CTRL R) and that will be fixed.

Nope that doesn't do it.......

I'll try rebooting

It just worked for me. (I was seeing the same error.)

Try clearing your cache.

unfortunately, I have a old CAD file that was corrupted, and was just able to load it, ^{(last Fridayand I'm not turniong it off)} and I am piecing it out into smaller files to try to salvage and rebuild it........

can't reboot till that is done.......... _{copy/paste works fine though}

Yes, I've done that........

I haven't reboot as of yet, but since clearing the cache, I'm able to get my emoicons......... see......

There is a known bug with accessing CR4 on mobile devices. Someone will be looking into that just as soon as they have time.

A hard refresh (CTRL + R) will fix the issue with emoticons and symbols.

iPad is working....
