LS1LT1.com on your phone/mobile device!

[Chris 96 WS6]

We have a custom mobile skin now available so you can browse the site on your phone, iPOD, PDA, etc.

From your mobile device, simply go to ls1lt1.com and the site automatically detects your device and sends you to the special mobile style.

UPDATE:

We've not been able to get the auto skin assignment to work on all mobile device types.

So, I've set up two new subdomains. Just bookmark one of these to always get the correct skin on your devide:

http://mobile.ls1lt1.com (http://mobile.ls1lt1.com/)
http://iphone.ls1lt1.com (http://iphone.ls1lt1.com/)


The Iphone skin is basically the same as the default one, but stripped down. It takes better advantage of the iPhone's full HTML browser and wi-fi capability.

[BlownWs6]

pretty awsome :)

[Grims]

Yeah, I'm lovin it. I get on the site from my PPC phone a lot while I'm working on the car.

[96slow6]

I will have to check it out. I think you should make a Larger announcment about it though.

[Grims]

We could send out an email.

[Chris 96 WS6]

I'm going to tomorrow. I have some other things to include so it will be like a holiday newsletter type thing.

ive been thinkin of getting an iphone i think this might just push me into it

[Chris 96 WS6]

The mobile style won't display on an iPhone, at least not right now. Since you can browse normal pages with an iPhone I didn't include it.

But its easy to change, so if iPhone geeks demand the mobile style, I can accomodate.

You can browse normal pages with my phone (It's a full windows mobile 6 PDA with a phone) But the browser lets pages know it's a phone in case the site has a mobile version...so it may work on the iphone.

[Chris 96 WS6]

That's not what I'm saying.

The mod that auto-detects a phone and sends you to the mobile style isn't set to include iPhones. I didn't include it because I figured with the full featured browser that iPhone users would rather use the normal style.

However, if iPhone users say they want the mobile style, I can modify the hack to redirect iPhones to the mobile style as well.

On my blackberry it looks like it did before......mabe I'm not doin. sumthin right......oh and my pc is f'd up, it won't let me post or reply, so that's why no one has heard anything from me.

[Chris 96 WS6]

I think there's something special I have to do for blackberries. Give me a few minutes....

Try it now...should work. If you can't log in still, make sure you have java support enabled.

Right, WM6 phones like mine have a full featured browser as well. The problem is the site is coded to run at a desktop resolution, so when you shrink it down to a mobile device's size everything gets jumbled and squished. Also, the iphone has a relatively slow CPU and memory, which causes a lot of lag when browsing a website like this forum. My phone has twice the CPU and twice as fast memory as an iPhone...and it lagged pretty bad when loading this site before the mod.

But maybe the iPhone has better optimizations for web browsing :dontknow:

I can log in it just looks the same like it did before...kinda all bundled up, and still looks the same with Java enabled. Im starting to hate my BlackBerry.....

It doesn't work on my phone, the page starts load and the I get an error message that says "Page too large", I have a Sanyo Katana with Sprint service.

[Grims]

Each browser puts out a different ID, we just need to enable the right ones. keep the reports coming and we'll get em going for you ;)

[Transamman25]

wow .. it seems to me like this just opened an entirely diffrent can-o-worms

Don't go to either of those in your computer browser or it will lock in, trust me :(

[96redlt1ta]

I'm still getting the "Page too large" error.

[Grims]

I'm still getting the "Page too large" error.

What phone do you have, and which of the two links did you try?

[96redlt1ta]

I have a Sanyo Katana with Sprint as my carrier, and I tried the mobile.ls1lt1.com

[Grims]

Katana 1 or 2?

[Grims]

After doing some reading on your phone it looks like the factory browser if very limited. But, Opera mini is available for free on your phone and can be downloaded here http://www.operamini.com/

It is a very popular browser for handhelds.

[96redlt1ta]

It's a Katana 1, and I'll try downloading Opera later and let ya know if it works, Thanks for your help.

[Chris 96 WS6]

I'm working on this right now, so if it doesn't work for you then please be patient.

I found out the new subdomains were only working if you were ALREADY logged into the forums. Its a bit more complicated to set the skin w/o a user login already active...but I think I know how to do it.

I'll post back and update ya'll later, but once I have it done right going to mobile.ls1lt1.com will work on any device, any browser, including your desktop.

[96redlt1ta]

www.ls1lt.com is working with opera on my phone.

[Grims]

Does it load up with the mini skin, or does it look like the normal site?

[Freebird]

Ok, I have Samsung A737, carrier AT&T... the regular LS1LT1.com site loads, but it's not a miniskin, it's just like it looks actually online and its a SUPER long webpage... hard to get to the bottom of.... and all smushed...

I tried the mobile.ls1lt1.com one, and it just sits there forever trying to load then just gives me a blank page...:dontknow:

[96redlt1ta]

It looks like the normal site but it's really small, than I zoom into whatever I want to click on.

Yeah, it stopped working on mine as well. Chris had to take it down to adjust some settings.

[Chris 96 WS6]

OK, both subdomains are working again.

Grims, let me know if the auto detect thing still isn't working (though I'm not sure its really necessary at this point).

[Freebird]

Awesome.. it's working good now :)

[96redlt1ta]

Its the mini skin now.
