Get most of your Symbian device [Part 7] : Change the User Agent Of Your Symbian Device !

Posted on 15:27 by SlipKoRnSaad

When browser connects to a specific page, it sends in its header its user agent (the browser/mobile ID) which can be used to the page to display better results, access to some specific features etc.

Let me give you an example : If you want all websites that you view from your Omnia HD (i8910) to be identified as being a Nokia N97, for example to access Nokia Ovi Store !

So if you want to switch the user agent of your symbian browser, you have to :

- Install the python pack
- Install UserAgent Manager

And then : Enjoy !




Ps : PythonScriptShell_1.9.7_high_capas and PythonScriptShell_1.9.7_unsigned_devcert are unneeded for this tuto, but you can install them oh, your phone must be hacked ;)

Select the user agent string you want to use and exit, start browsing and your browser will be identified as firefox, Internet Explorer etc according to the User Agent string you have chosen.
