Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.Site switches to mobile theme in IE 10 desktop. I've checked all the settings and the only setting change that makes a difference is shutting the theme switching option off. -_-
I've tried using browsecap and the included Mobile Tools Detection and still nothing's changed. Also tried shutting the cache off, still nothing.
P.s. Could this be because IE10 is used in Windows phones too?

bleda01 commentedI have seen this too, but also have another website where device theme switching is fine. The website which is working uses Mobile Tools 6.x-2.3 so I copied this version to my new website but IE10 is still switching when it should not. Does this indicate an interaction with other modules? The not working site had Browsecap 1.5, but the working site did not have browsecap so I disabled browsecap and removed the module - but IE10 is still switching.

nateman332 commentedWhy don't you try and test what module is not working with it (if that's the problem) by disabling each (other) module one by one until it works? I'd do it myself but the site it isn't working on is a production site (I've disabled the module for now) and I don't have a test environment to test it on.
Do you think you could list what modules (the site it isn't working on) is running? then I could narrow down what modules might not be working with this module (by comparing them with the modules I'm running).

nateman332 commented*Update*
I've installed the browscap perl module (through cpanel) and redefined the directory browscap.ini is in (in php.ini) and now it's working on mobile and it's not switching in IE desktop...but on mobile it's switching only on inner pages.
*edit* scratch that, it's still not working

nateman332 commentedI've stopped using mobile tools and just used themekey and themekey properties and the problem is still occurring, looks like this is a problem with themekey (mobile tools uses themekey to switch themes).
Comment #6
mkalkbrennerAFAIK only Mobile Tools 7.x-2.x are using ThemeKey!
If you're now using ThemeKey only you should turn on ThemeKey Debug and trace the theme switching. That will lead us to the problem quickly.
Comment #7
nateman332 commentedIn that case there is a problem with both modules, because it happens with mobile tools on and themekey off and vise versa, therefor I'm keeping this in themekey. someone else can create another issue in mobile tools if they want.
Comment #8
nateman332 commentedI'm postponing this issue off because I've switched modules (I'm using domain access) due to this being on a production site (it needs to be online), but if anyone else has this problem and can trouble shoot it, feel free to re-open it.

ronline commentedThe same issues here.
The switch rule was set for Android, iPhone and iPad but it was switching to every connected OS => Linux / Desktop, Mac OS ( Firefox, Chrome )..
Turning off the caching in admin/config/development/performance and clearing the cache fix the problem.
Comment #11
nateman332 commentedTurrning off caching is not always an option for some people so it's not really fixed, but it looks like the way the module is caching may be part of the problem.
