Re: Facebook automatically goes to mobile verison now.
 

So far I got three accounts banned for complaining (with different reasons). I'm not kidding. They don't give a dime of our complains. They pay consultants to give them suggestions to improve and that's they only channel they really take action for.

You're welcome to raise your complain to suppport@facebook.com directly. Mind you, you expect to deal with most redneck ego-bursting rude people you've ever met in your entire life. (and if you value your prime account get a fake one to complain) ^^

Maybe Apple convinced them to turn us to the limited mobile site to reduce the competitive advantage Maemo has with its full-fledged browser!

When I now use the full version the "most recent" button no longer works... Anyone else getting this issue or know how to fix??
I've not changed my useragent but dont fancy doing that!

N900 might be just too small for them to pick on. I've a feeling that they plan to kick everything with user-agent they don't recognize to mobile version.

Re: Facebook automatically goes to mobile verison now.
 

I had the same problem. unfortunately I have no fix. Just do the useragent tweak. That worked for me.

Re: Facebook automatically goes to mobile verison now.
 

You are right. I'm using Konqueror as my web browser on my desktop, and FB offers me the mobile version now.

If you ever read a tutorial on web programming, and it says "don't do decisions based on what the user's browser says it is", here's the reason why.

Re: Facebook automatically goes to mobile verison now.
 

-.-

But that means they recognize the N8x0, but not the N900?

(Surely there's some other reason.)

There are only differences in the two User Agent strings is:

N8x0:

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux armv6l; en-US; rv:1.9a6pre) Gecko/20080828 Firefox/3.0a1 Tablet browser 0.3.7 RX-34+RX44+RX48_DIABLO_5.2010.16.1

N900:

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux armv7l; en-US; rv:1.9.2a1pre) Gecko/20091127 Firefox/3.5 Maemo Browser 1.5.6 RX-51 N900

1. Different version of the processor
2. I actually don't know this one. Hardware revision?
3. Gecko engine version
4. Firefox 3.0 vs. 3.5
5. Tablet browser vs. Maemo Browser
6. N800, N810, N810 WME, with Diablo vs. N900 with no stated OS.

Further testing shows that the part after Firefox/3.5, and before RX-51 N900 is causing the problem.

"Maemo Browser 1.5.6" redirects, but "Tablet browser 0.3.7" doesn't.

Removing "Maemo Browser 1.5.6" altogether, leaving Firefox/3.5 RX-51 N900, also does not redirect.

So it does seem to be a case of throw away what you don't know... :(
