Hi,
Need some help please? I have reset my Opera 9.5 back to default using about:config - install after un-installing anther application to set the browser as the default again. The problem now is that when going to certain pages it shows the mobile view rather than the normal web view the main one being BBC showing as bbc mobile. Even if I type in the BBC address it automatically goes to the mobile view. I have checked in the settings and the mobile view is unchecked
Any ideas please?
Thanks in advance
If I try to go to the login screen on this website (http://www.alldatapro.com/includes/main.jsp) I return an error in android, however the page loads on a standard desktop. Any ideas on a fix? Maybe a proxy issue?

Try using another browser. I use Opera Mini 5 and have no issues on log in sites like I do with the Android browser
agreed. sometimes the android browser will either bring up and error, or just send me back to the login page. Try Opera
Opera mini does open the site. But it would be nice to use the native app. Where is proxy info stored for the browser? I have a feeling that is the hold up

Hy guys
I have a little question and i hope that you can help me.
I don't understand why if i'm connection with my smartphone to internet with my wifi connection i can only see the mobile version of some sites.. This is for me a problem because:
1 some websites that i see are very different between mobile and standard version and i can't switch from mobile to standard in some cases (only some site allow me these).
2 in Italy some.sites of news about sports and general news request a payment to see the news..but only if i see this notice.from my smartphone.. If i see the normal version i dob't pay.anything...this is a classic incredible Italian story..no comment!!
I remember that with other device if i'm connecting by my wifi i can see a normal web sites...
Some.people can explain and help me?
Thanks in advance!

Sites with mobile versions will usually automatically link you to them if they detect you are on a mobile browser. When you connect to a website they have access to what operating system you're running and what browser. Once it sees you're running a mobile browser, they redirect you.

For all the archos users who need proxy settings.
Archos implemented proxy settings in their latest firmware. But to our disappointment its not working...
The proxy setting can not be enabled...
Here is a temporary alternative.
Install the latest Fennec (firefox) browser for Android. You can find it at the mozilla website.
Then google the addon mobile proxy for firefox android.
You'll need the proxy mobile addon (. xpi) and open it using the Fennec browser.
Fennec will ask you to allow installation of the addon. Allow it then you will have an addon in your fennec browser
that allows you to put a proxy setting.
Reminder use the fennec browser to click on the xpi file so that it will ask you if you want to install.
Thats it! you can now set a proxy server in you fennec browser (only) so that you can surf the other web through fennec.
I' ve been using it and everything is working fine with me.
Hope this helps those who need proxy settings. to surf the web.
Just sharing to the community!
Please click Thanks if these helps!

How did you put proxy setting in your Opera Mobile? i've been searching for an Opera mobile with proxy settings.

Type opera:config in the address bar. The only question I have is what version of opera mobile will run on an Archos 70? Every time I try it just goes to a black screen and freezes.
I can't get Opera mobile working on the A70IT. Opera Mini works fine, but I would love to try Opera Mobile.
Hi, when trying to connect to free wifi, one frequently has to enter info on a website. However, in many of those cases my NSTG redirects me automatically using the built-in browser rather than my Opera mobile. Sometimes that causes issues (unresponsive browser etc). How can I define what browser is being used when my nook redirects to a website for connecting to the Internet?
Thanks!

You can always just delete Browser.apk.
That works fine for me.
I forget if it redirects automatically.
Still, just go to Google or something in your favorite browser and it will display the "Accept" screen.
Deleting browser.apk seems to make things worse. Again, when I am redirected to a login page (NST does this automatically when in Settings/wireless for some providers) it fails....because it does not find browser.apk anymore.
I tried to rename the opera mobile apk to browser.apk, but I could not find the opera mobile apk in the system/app folder....

You wouldn't find Opera Mobile in /system/app, it's not a system app.
You'd find it in /data/app, because it's a regular user app.
Not that renaming anything would help, that's not how Android finds things.
I don't have a login access point here to check anything out,
although it seems to work fine when I visit locations with logins.
I looked into how this works.
The Nook tries to access http://amifree.barnesandnoble.com/bnhello.html
That URL should just echo back "You have successfully reached the internet!"
It uses the built-in WebKit functionality.
This seems a waste for a number of reasons, including that you might have your Nook connected to a WiFi but not the internet.
In any case, I still don't understand what happens to you when you click on an Access point to connect.
If you have to, you enter the password for the WPA or whatever.
Then you open your browser of choice, go to any site and if you are going to be directed, you'll be redirected then.
Reminder to self: Patch or get rid of the B&N web access.
Thanks Renate. So that is how it works:
Since there is no user accessible browser on non rooted NST devices, the device connects and immediately checks the website you list below (saying "testing..." while checking).
If the receiver requires a redirect (for instance to accept certain terms), the hidden browser will be
invoked. Unfortunately that fails if browser.apk is deleted or the browser cannot handle the content on that site and one cannot connect to the internet
Best would be to disable the check so that can be done manually on the browser of choice for rooted devices.

Yes, it would fail at displaying the redirect page.
Are you saying that at that point it actually disconnects the WiFi?
Does the little signal thingie on the status bar disappear?
What happens when you just go to your regular browser and go to any website?
On mine, at that point I get the redirect screen I would have gotten originally.
Yes, the signal bars disappear (and I am no longer connected)...

Well, in that case, I'd patch Settings.apk to not do the online check.
In any case, I'm still at a loss to understand, because WebKit is part of the core, not an application and the login page will always be displayed in Settings.
How can I patch Settings.apk?
>> login page will always be displayed in Settings
The page is being displayed, but in some cases the browser used (browser.apk) cannot handle the content of the redirected website and I cannot login (not sure if that answers your questions though....).
