Problem detecting HTC Radar C110e
Posted: Wed Mar 07, 2012 10:20 pm
I am currently using WURFL version 2.3.
I checked Tera-WURFL and the zipped XML itself and the useragent for HTC radar is
"Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; MSIE 9.0; Windows Phone OS 7.5; Trident/5.0; IEMobile/9.0; HTC; Radar C110e; 1.06.164.01)"
However, using an actual HTC Radar, the useragent (via http://www.whatismyuseragent.com) is
"Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; MSIE 9.0; Windows Phone OS 7.5; Trident/5.0; IEMobile/9.0; HTC; Radar C110e)"
Is WURFL checking for an exact useragent match? I just debugged my web app and used the actual useragent on the User Agent Switcher plugin of Firefox and it doesn't detect it indeed. The Tera-WURFL useragent worked fine, as expected.
Is there a work-around for this? I'm practically a newbie when it comes to mobile detection, but won't the user-agent change every update of the OS/Browser? Would that mean that un-updated mobile browser versions will become undetectable by WURFL?
