Mobile Compatibility

[InvisoSniper]

Hey guys,

I'm not a beta tester of the webui (yet, i hope to be soon), but i was wondering was anyone thinking about making this page Mobile Compatible, Im talking like on a PDA or Phone.

Yes PDAs can see the whole page but you have to scroll. And Yes Mobile Browsers can adjust the page to look better, however it sometime mangles the page.

I thinkn this would be a nice feature because now that EVDO and 3G (mobile Broadbands) are coming out, it would be nice not to even have to be on a computer, just be on the street decide to check what µtorrent is up to.

What do you all think. Im not familiar with html, but from what i usnderstand it may just be organizing the site in such a way that when a mobile browser tries to adjust the page, it doesnt mangle the page. We don't need autosensing PDA/Phone recognition in combination with a sperate page (like google).

Ah? Ah? Anyone?

Yes, it *is* (or at least was) being worked on, but the regular WebUI has highest priority at the moment.

Thnks for the reply,

Of course, we need to get the main backend working (from what ive read in this fourm, it still has issues) before we get down and serious on the main frontend, let alone tweaks for a mobile frontend.

Nice to see the progress. Good job everyone

I'd really like this option for a pocket PC.

Me too, it would be great with a simplified WebUI which works in Opera mini that practically every cell phone can use.

[InvisoSniper]

Opera Mini is exactly what i had in mind, However UI has had problems in Regular Opera let alone the Mini Version. But it would be good if the Web UI was so simply transformed that even PIE could do it.

1 step towards a better µ

Yah it was being written to work in Opera Mini.

Only stats, though.

there's hasn't been much work on the mini version since Directrix has been focused on the standard WebUI. The plan for simple stats and stop / go functionality; the proof-of-concept testing Directrix and I did worked correctly.

I was my original idea to have the mini UI cell-phone browser compliant (other than Opera Mini, no css, minimal tags, small width) to be a more on-the-go solution than just Palm / PPC with wlan access.

Has any development on this front occured in the ~10 months since this thread?

[Firon]

Nope.

+1, it doesn't work on my smartphone.. what im going to be using WebUI for.

"It was my original idea to have the mini UI cell-phone browser compliant..."

That would be really great. Some of us have new but already outdated phones which don't seem to want to accept different software. If the mobile UI could gain the functionality of the current WebUI for all cell-phones, it would make finding a terminal a thing of the past.

I use the FlashGUI and it mostly works on my XDA Mini S (WM5 PocketPC)

I made my own text based utorrent web client that I access from my blackberry web browser. It lets me see all my downloads and everything. I love it!

[mofle]

Can you share it?

[jxcc1]

no

[mofle]

Why not?

@jxcc1

Pretty please?? OK, fine, but can you tell me why my BB will not access the webUI? Is there a setting change on the BB that I need to make? This would be so helpful (and convenient) and cool to be able to manage my DL's.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

[Lord Alderaan]

Because BB doesn't support all the required javascript properly.

[helpslip]

Ahhh. Thank you sir. This clears up a lot of questions I had. I'm gonna be an ass and ask... Any discussions on compatibility in the future? Thanks much!

That's up to your Blackberry and/or its included browser, not µTorrent.
