Notices

every time i go onto facebook, it keeps defaulting to the mobile site. ie m.facebook.com not www.facebook.com

any ideas why???

i usually access it by clicking the widget. it comes up with the www address but then loads the m. page.

both on wifi and vodafone uk.

thoughts???

Have you tried changing the user agent? There is an app somewhere. Search for user agent. Make sure you tick on "Check title and Description"

Thanks a lot.. using "hideuseragent" works.

mine has done this also, last night was fine. this morning defaulting to mobile site! and I haven't done anything

It works~ Thank you so much!!!

This is the solution provided at the other thread and it works:

OK! I got it fixed! This time by using hideuseragent. I'm sorry to the maintainer of the hideuseragent that I said before it doesn't work for facebook. Yes, default hideuseragent doesn't work for http://m.facebook.com, it's the FAULT of facebook, because it tends to throw everything it won't recognize to mobile version. (See the first screenshot)

Here is the procedures to change User Agent of MicroB:

1) (As root) apt-get install hideuseragent
2) Go to Setting, find Hide User Agent
3) Click User Agent
4) Enter: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US)
5) Press Set (See second screenshot)

Now you can browse the http://www.facebook.com full version.

In response to mukks, you may change the user agent to the following if you want it to redirect you to Facebook Touch:

or, as a temporary work around, just scroll right down to the bottom, and choose whether you want to go to the touch site or the full site, and I have written to Facebook regarding this, although I'm not actually expecting them to notice it anyways!

... for the time being I'm just using a new bookmark .... really facebook need to fix this though ... it's wholly ridiculous to throw a phone like the n900 to the mobile site ... hopefully if enough of us complain they'll see that they've made a mistake!

wat do u mean in step 5 when u said "press Set?
