Hello again..

Have just had a concern raised from a mobile phone user relating to the way that RLM works.

His phone is in the range of 1920x1080 resolution, which is a higher resolution than I can do on my 17" laptop!

As a result of this, the page doesn't render any differently on his phone or on computers. "Buttons" are still tiny wee things on the phone even though they display at a good size on a desktop.

Any thoughts on how to work around this? He still has to zoom and scroll to be able to read the page because the layout/breakpoints are basically designed around pixels - and he has them to spare! (I am seeing a possiblilty of doing reverse breakpoints - setting them so that above a certain number of pixels everything gets bigger again - and can we get a way to set breakpoints by pixel numbers? I can't do a 1920 wide screen even though I'd love to make a page able to deal with that )

Thanks,
David

I have the same problem with my cell phone...

As I understand every smart phone has an option called" View desktop" .
I guess that will solve the problem.

The problem is not what rlmp preduce , problem is with smart phone industry.

David, I'd like to know which smart phone has that kind of resolution.

I personally wouldn't even bother to render a site for mobile for anything near that kind of resolution. Too confusing, too much hassle, and he just needs to work his phone like normal people do lol. Seriously though, I wouldn't do anything special for that type of phone setup. If he's got his phone setup for that high of a resolution, then there's really not much you can do for what he's going to see without complicating matters extremely. Not worth it in my book as it's not the norm.

My samsung S5 has 1920 x 1080 (FHD) resolution with 5.1 inch size (main display)

I understand Mansour, but truly there must be a setting on the phone that will show websites in a better setup for the phone than using that resolution. Keep in mind that if you view sites in Desktop View setup, you are downloading a whole lot more data than you would be if you were loading the mobile website. Has to be something on the phone that can be adjusted for that, because I truly cannot imagine trying to add a "mobile" setup for the same size as the desktop. Might be possible, maybe I'm very wrong here and it's not as much hassle as I think it is too, but seems it would be to me.

Well I could not find any setting in my phone to help me out for this kind of problem and it is very personal choice and mobile data limit. I have 6 gig 4G mobile data a month and when I see useful content to read on any website when I am uncomfortable with view simply go to desktop view. And honestly sometime I do not even use half of my mobile data limit.

Are you talking separate web pages or responsive pages?

My Galaxy s4 has 1920x1080 and it brings up mobile as 'mobile'. I didn't realize my phone had that resolution but I don't have any issues with the display.

I think maybe Davids client has his phone set to display desktop all the time. I guess I just don't understand that thinking if that's the case.

JoAnn, I wouldn't think about doing anything for that kind of resolution unless they start making phones with displays the size of big flat screen TVs.
