BlackBerry 10 Browser Settings - Mobile Vs. Desktop

Can't seem to find the answer to this - presumably this is an easy settings fix. Issue is that some sites treat BlackBerry 10 browswer as a desktop rather than mobile browser. Example - RSS Google Reader. on iOS it renders in "mobile" mode giving a digestable 15 headers at a time. Z10 hauls in the entire list (could be hundreds of headers) and the performance obviously is quite poor when scrolling through the list. Any ideas on how to broadcast the browser as mobile? Thanks

This may be how the website is dishing up the content via the type of device you are using.

Try putting an m. instead of www. That should force the mobile site.

EXAMPLE: m.blackberry.com

Hey pennman88,

Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.

 

Thanks for the question.

 

The BlackBerry 10 browser is designed to be full web browser and not a mobile browser.  I would suggest what DVader stated and add the M prefix to the website so it will show the mobile version of the website.

 

Let me know if you have any more questions.

 

Cheers.
