Facebook blocks Devices from the main site.

This is done buy User agent ID and java script.

 

Its not the PS Vita its the fact that browser does not have the top five browsers names in it Browser ID.

 

SAFARI

FIREFOX

CHROME

OPERA

IE

 

Thats all that are allowed on Facebook PC site normaly.

The vita IDs itself to the Web site and get booted to the mobile version.

 

Mozilla/5.0 (Playstation Vita ?.??) AppleWebKit/531.22.8 (KHTML, like Gecko) Silk/3.2 

 

Silk/3.2 is the same browser tech level as "Amazon kimble".  This asks the site to treat the vita the same as the kimble browser.

 

?.?? = firmware number.

Theres no way around this as SCE is obeying the rules about IDing the equipment. If they were to Spoof one of the top five the site may break the browser... 

 

MY PC browser ID 

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686) AppleWebKit/535.19 (KHTML, like Gecko) Ubuntu/12.04 Chromium/18.0.1025.168 Chrome/18.0.1025.168 Safari/535.19

IDs as 3 different Browser supported on it...

Re: facebook mobile version

Another thing which can decide on the version of the site you see is the proxy system that the 3G operator use.

At one point Orange were forcing the mobile version of all sites whether using a phone, smartphone or tethering to a PC. It's possible your operator is doing that with facebook

Re: facebook mobile version

The only thing I use FB for is groups coz I'm part of a gaming group & the Vita version don't support groups.
Everytime I get a group notification it re-directs me using the browser.

Not being funny but you post reminds me of the Fugertive tv program(getting old) Kimble :smileyvery-happy:

 

I take it you mean Kindle.

My kindle is one reasion why i did not get a 3G Vita as the 3G on my Kindle is 100% free.

 

 

Do you think sony will ever move the Vita and or Ps3 to HTML5? if they don't they are going to be left behind not that I use the browser but lots do.

Below is a Signature



Sony are stabbing their loyal family customers in the back - We have 3 PS3s and 3 PSPs all on the same IP address and all registered with Sony. Why can't we use them at the same time anymore?

Re: facebook mobile version

Remember the old tv show re-runs very well. guess that name got lodged in there because its was watched in grey and white and old school style. Before a Colour portable TV. like the kindle very old school display via New technology to keep the battery going longer.  

Or do you have a kindle fire version...
