QWhen using my HTC Inspire Android cell phone to surf the Net, I am usually redirected to a website's mobile page. I have fast 4G service, and I'd like to avoid this. How can I?
RAFAEL BORRERO,PEMBROKE PINES, FLA.AThe problem is that website operators think they're doing you a favor, even though they're not. But there is a work-around.
To cope with the limitations of traditional cellphones, websites often maintain both a standard Web page for computers and a downsized mobile page for cellphones that lacks most of the photos and graphics. The idea is that those images either won't display properly on a cellphone or will take too long to download.
How does the website know you're on a cellphone? Because it can detect your phone's operating system and then automatically send you the mobile Web page.
This is beginning to change because many smartphones can reproduce the full Web page without problems, and 4G wireless Internet connections can download the Web pages at speeds previously available only on wired Internet services.
For example, StarTribune.com sends the full Web page to iPhones and Android phones, while all other phones still get the mobile page.
But if you don't want to wait for other websites to change their ways, you can make your own choices with the Dolphin browser for Android phones (read about it at tinyurl.com/5vfupz2.)
Dolphin can imitate other devices, which will trick websites into sending your phone the full Web page that would normally be sent to a browser on a Windows PC.
Dolphin is available through Android Market, the app store for Google Android phones, or at tinyurl.com/3esf4uw. There's a free version with advertising and a $5 version without.
QWe have trouble when we try to print from the Yahoo Finance website. Only the header prints on the first page, and only about 1 inch of text prints on the second page -- and then it's to the far right side of the page. What should we do?
ORREN AND RUTH BRADLEYSAHUARITA, ARIZ.APrinting from Web pages is always a challenge because they are formatted in many different ways, not all of them printer-friendly.
If you're having trouble printing the original page, the best solution is to define and copy the text or chart you want, then paste it onto a blank page in a word processing program such as Microsoft Word.
While this may result in wrong-sized text or charts, you can easily resize them or change the margins before printing.
