668286 - Google Homepage shows simple mobile page // touch version has layout issues

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Web Compatibility :: Site Reports, defect)

Description

[Thomas Arend [:tarend]]

Attachment: Issues on Google touch version

(1) www.google.com points us to the simple mobile page, but should point to the touch-optimized mobile page
(2) when forcing the touch version (using phony, set user agent to "Android") we see layout issues (see attached screenshot)

Layout issues may be related to WebKit-specific code in the HTML / CSS.

Google now shows the desktop site with the recent UA changes.

but that's not what we want either, right? should we not just change the bug summary?
