Question by allhailzeppelin: Question for tech savvy iPhone owners?
A lot of sites, when visited through an iPhone, default to an “iPhone” or “mobile” version of the webpage. Is there an app/hack/jailbreak/etc that can get around that and have it go to the normal version of every site?
I do go to the normal URL (www.ebay.com for example), but it ~automatically~ takes me to the “.iphone” version.

On some, but not all, pages there is a link or button that says something like “Classic View” or “Standard View”; usually at the bottom of the page. There may be a hack via jailbrake to change the user-agent to fool the website to think you are on a standard computer, but that’s probably not worth it. Also, if you are Google searching and there is a site that redirects to a rubbish “mobile” view (one I can think of is IGN.com), by the page result press “options” and then “cached”. This should make it look like a standard web page.

In this video I show you how to jailbreak any Apple device on any Firmware with a Universal Jailbreak tool by Comex. This Jailbreak is called JailbreakMe and can be accessed by going to jailbreakme.com in Safari on your iPhone, iPod or iPad. Here is a list of all compatible devices and their firmwares. Compatible Apple Devices: – iPod Touch 1G (3.1.2, 3.1.3, 4.0, 4.0.1) – iPod Touch 2G (3.1.2, 3.1.3, 4.0, 4.0.1) – iPod Touch 3G (3.1.2, 3.1.3, 4.0, 4.0.1) – iPhone 2G (3.1.2, 3.1.3, 4.0, 4.0.1) – iPhone 3G (3.1.2, 3.1.3, 4.0, 4.0.1) – iPhone 3GS (3.1.2, 3.1.3, 4.0, 4.0.1) – iPhone 4 (3.1.2, 3.1.3, 4.0, 4.0.1) – iPad (3.2, 3.2.1) – iPad 3G (3.2, 3.2.1) ***Important*** – If for some reason this jailbreak fails in any way (for example if it just sticks at the purple screen after you “slide to jailbreak“) then all you have to do is turn your device completely off and then turn it back on…(a simple reboot) Then just try it again. That should fix most problems. Other Information: -Apple is going to put out a fix for this jailbreak very soon… If you want to be able to do this even after apple releases software to stop this from working then download and run The Firmware Umbrella.
