Hello guys. First I would like to thank everyone for all the help I get in these forums. :-)
I have a brand new s3 and I very been very happy with it. It's my first Android phone, was using nokia phones for some years now, my last one was a n78 and a good feature I could use was to use Google search with it displaying mobile formatted Web pages. The advantage was that they were much lighter, the pages were displayed like forums with low resolution images and so, anyone tried that?
How can I use that with my s3?sometimes I am in the village with low 3g coverage so it's very useful to me...
Cheers
 
check my reply on the "ive got an s3, ask me questions" thread mate ;)

I tried Firefox and opera and it seem to work at first but it doesn't. Selecting or un selecting the "ask for desktop site" setting doesn't do anything. For instance, this android central site is always like in desktop mode. M8,can you please try it yourself so I can see if the problem is only mine? Thanks

in AC forums, on firefox anyway, just scroll down to just below the threads, tap the "ac forums 2012" box and select mobile mate

global s3, UK. Ask me anything and ill reply even if its just an intelligent (or crazy) guess ;)
 
....also tapping the address bar and adding "m." after the "http//" or "www." part sometimes works for sites with a mobile vesion /)

Okay, thanks, I will try that, got to install Firefox again. But I thought it would be automatically choose in the browser... Chrome is full of bugs yet, right?
 
just noticed Maxathon has a "wap" mode but havent tried it yet.
Cheers for the link mate, il bookmark it :)

....that link gave me an error mate. does it work when you click on it?
ps if you want a browser thats really fast and uses a lot less data, try Opera MINI, the opera servers condense the data and then send it to your phone so if youre in a slow sgnal area or a limited data plan, its excelent (dont get it confused with opera MOBILE
