Optimised Browser For Community Interaction From Your Jolla

    As posted in another thread, I think I've worked out the perfect browser for interacting with the forum directly from your phone.

    The app is available for free download from the aptoide store here:

    http://apps.store.aptoide.com/app/market/com.opera.mini.next.android/22/984973/Opera Mini Next web browser

    From your Jolla phone, just click on the link above and click install which should prompt you to install the aptoide store if you haven't already and then allow you to download any android apps as you require.

    The opera mini next browser automatically renders the mobile friendly version of the forum which makes it very easy to interact with on a small screen... plus it's optimised if you're on a 3G/slow internet connection which is a bonus.

    I have not yet tested the Opera browser with the Jolla phone, but only on another mobile phone so would appreciate it if someone could actually test to see if this particular Opera browser works (it should).

    I also haven't yet had a chance to try the native Jolla browser with the forum 1st hand, but assume it will render the 'full site' as opposed to the 'mobile version'.

    Feel free to post here with any questions or posts relating to that, ideally from your Jolla! ;-)

    Thanks for the feedback @tvppes - do you know if firefox renders the full site (with the shoutbox + sidebar) or the mobile version which doesn't have the header/shoutbox or right hand side bar ? (sorry I would chk myself, but still waiting...)

    Mobile version. Next checking Opera Mini & Next, then native browser.

    Opera Mini: mobile version. Slightly smaller than with Firefox.

    Opera Mini Next: looks quite the same as Firefox. Small troubles with rendering, occasionally overlapping lines.

    Chrome: nothing happens. Posting this from the PC (Ubuntu) version (32.0.1700.55). Oops! When trying to close Chrome in my phone, got a message: "Alien is not responding".

    Thanks very much for feedback @Jouni - so it sounds like firefox is working the best to view the forum.

    BTW, are you having some kind of problems generally with the native browser?

    Haven't tested much yet. Biggest complain, of course, lack of landscape mode.

    One thing more: when you try to optimize this site for the Jolla browser, it identifies itself as "Mozilla/5.0 (Maemo; Linux; U; Jolla; Sailfish; Mobile; rv:26.0) Gecko/26.0 Firefox/26.0 SailfishBrowser/1.0 like Safari/538.1". Checked from apache logs at my work.

Howdy, Stranger!
