The deal is that the way i roll is when someth i come across doesnt work & i cannot find a logical solution for why not... i often employ the "1,000 button pushes" method, i.e., i convince myself that if i want whatever it is that doesnt work bad enuff, i keep pushing every & all buttons, over & over, ignoring the fact that the same error or failure keeps telling me to "keep it up, stupid...you'll break it eventually". Well, "break it" can have more than 1 meaning...
I went to the more in depth instructions for the site that hosted these "apps" or "add-ons" or whatever the heck they are, "bookmarklets" i guess...and i read enuff to give me a headache realizing the instructs were way beyond my grasp but also noticed that they were from 2007...so i said heck w/all this & decided that maybe the simple way of just adding whichever bookmarks you wanna try & removing the beginning text up to & including the "?", might work (someth to do w/a java script argument?....i have no clue). So i "installed" a few of em that sounded interesting, such as bold text, nite vision, demobilizer & 1 or 2 others. Got same issue as you, black screen, otherwise blank. That pissed me off so i kept trying over & over, on diff sites & diff above applications. Got about 20 or more black/blank pps & possib an error or 2. Perserverence (stupidity) being my technique, finally i started getting the "bold text" thingy to work & then tested it all over the place. It works beautiful. (you see, it said "uncle" b4 me!). At 1st i took this as meaning these add ons will work on some sites but not others (i think i read someth to same effect on the full instructions site), but then, boom i got the "demobilizer" to start working also! I knew it cuz i wound up at "engadget" site & it looked kinda "desktoppy" looking + there was a link right at the top, saying "go back to mobile site". However i also noticed it wasnt full true desktop, so remembering how the instructs said how u have to remove the url director part of the addy, the http// part up to the question mark & decided to see if i could play around in the same way w/the url in the addy bar. I saw it was different than for this add on site, but noticed instead that at the other end of the full addy, was stuff like m for mobile(?) & the word "false". So i started deleting 1 character at a time & trying to reconnect ea time, until boom, voila! I got redirected to a more full desktop layout & then got a zoom window which i clicked & got what for most intents & purposes, a pretty much full (by the way i use mini) desktop version of the site, approx 3x larger than my 3" screen size. Just like the old "BOLT" browser used to do!
I decided to see if i could do the same thing w/o using this demobilizer add on, by simply taking out any ".m" from mobile sites, in fact even tried it w/opera site. It works in some cases & then i tried undo-ing single column view & it got better (this is v7 im using) & got a zoom thing going, making it start approximating desktop, but after a min, the phone crashed, so.....???
Also to my delight (going back to this add-on thingy) eventually the nite vision started working as well. Was just viewing your post in full night view! Looks great in the dark, much easier on eyes & maybe battery too? Just like they have in uc browser.
So keep trying over & over what u have already loaded & hopefully it"ll start working 4u2! :cool:
