Microsoft Surface is detected as a mobile. How do I change this ?

[Ray UK]

Hi, I am making some mobile specific pages for our site by using the built in mobile detection. In themes I have chosen "Only show mobile theme for mobile",and not tablets. However, the Microsoft surface is being detected as a mobile. The user agent string is

 

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; ARM; Trident/7.0; Touch; rv:11.0) like Gecko

 

How can I tell the MobileDetect.php script that this surface a tablet, instead of a mobile. Thanks

It looks like the Surface is in the file already, and it expects the User Agent to contain the word Tablet or ARMBJS, which you User Agent does not.

        'SurfaceTablet'     => 'Windows NT [0-9.]+; ARM;.*(Tablet|ARMBJS)',

However PS appears to be using v2.8.5 of mobile detect, and the latest version is v2.8.16.  So the first thing I would try is to download the latest from them and replace your existing file

Thanks for your input bellini.

 

I noticed that too so I updated this morning but its still showing the mobile site.

 

On the surface 3 it shows as a computer, but the surface 2 shows its a phone.

 

I run the demo on their site and it says this. So its not a prestashop problem, its that  script.

 

I have reported the error to them.

 

The "True" sections are:

isMobile()  bool(true)

isWindowsPhoneOS() bool(true)

 

 

Mobile_Detect v. 2.8.14

The lightweight PHP class for detecting mobile devices.

This is a phone. Your UA is Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; MSIE 10.0; Windows NT 6.2; ARM; Trident/6.0)
