I need to use Internet Explorer on my mobile devices for my job. My company's as well as a few client's secure websites as require Internet Explorer to work correctly. I need to log into those websites to access data while I am working out in the field. Those websites absolutely require Internet Explorer.
Those websites do not even work on Firefox on PC or Safari on Mac. So far only a coworker's Windows phone with Internet Explorer seems to works. Everyone else with iPhone, iPad and Android phone have not been able to use their mobile devices, and we all have to use a laptop with Windows, which seems to defeat the purpose of having a mobile device.
I know Android does not have Internet Explorer, but is there some browser that can emulate Internet Explorer on Android?

Inviato dal mio GT-S5570 con Tapatalk 2
maybe out of the thread ..
but try out emulating a pc .. ?
Like using your mobile as a controller of the pc
else try Opera if yo haven't , change the user agent into Desktop
hope it works well for yo ..
You can try Dolphin Browser since you can enter a custom user agent so the website will think you are using IE. If its only built to work with IE's rendering engine you may have issues, but often times these sites are mostly functional in other browsers unless they need ActiveX.
This user agent string will tell the site you are using IE8 on XP

You kust restored for me crucial functionality I thought I'd lost forever with the upgrade to 4.1.2. Much thanks.
Need to run site in compatibility view on IE 8 on android
Hi I have a similar issue with my phone and tab, need to login to secure server but even on PC the darn site needs to run in compatibility view for me to even be able to log in (IE 8-10 only) Have done the string like above opens the window but does not allow login as compatibility view is not enabled... Does the same thing as on PC if this is not enabled ( jumbles up the page and does not allow the login button to be clicked) Is there any way for me to get this working?
Please help.

This is my 3rd post about what I'm trying to get suggestions on with a browser I have been given access to that works only on Windows 10 in windows devices but also on any Android or iOS devices. The view mode can be changed from Android, to Safari, and between desktop/mobile. Mentioning this because noticed it does emulate ie on desktop mode. Could be the answer.
It is MX5, the latest version to Maxthon Browser, and it is worlds ahead of anything available for Android. I am trying to get suggestions as to setting up a thread for availability and such, and am sure you would have to create an account through a Maxthon Browser download from playstore. Has cloud storage as well as syncing favorites, open tabs, between devices. Also has the ability to store webpages offline now in their entirety, or just extract pics, vids that can be modded for use in other ways. Also has what is called UUMail built in you name your own webserver, enter email address into and create shadow (alias) email addresses to use online that are filtered for spam. Adblocking is builtin as well.
If this seems to be an answer, try Maxthon Browser off playstore, create a user account and password. Even if you change the view mode in it to desktop and that does not fix the IE compatability problem, maybe this version, MX5 will.

Here similar problem, wish/need/pray to acces with android browser to old website made for IE 5.0 and javascript... Under PC I sue IE Tab... Try install add-onson Firefox for android, but not works...
(
I need the same thing, I have a dodge service manual cd that uses internet explorer 7 and under to run properly, I have used internet explorer in dev mode to run it it using ie 7, also on chrome I used IE tab extension and they both work great for windows. The problem is on android nothing works. I have tried every browser. I have also tried Yandex browser which supports add on and have installed ie tab but it does not work. I also tried Firefox and install ie tab using chrome store foxified but again it does not work. I wish there was a way of running this cd on android. I think it needs activex, netscape, svg viewer and java script.

I am very happy with my Woot Gtablet but one problem I have with all the browsers(Stock, Opera and Dolphin) is that certain websites only work with IE. I changed the user agent in Dolphin to "Desktop" but still can't get into sites that have a pop up dialog for user authentication. I have disabled pop-up blocker in the browsers, but still no luck. You guys can try this site:
http://explore.lsc.edu and try to sign in. I see the "401 UNAUTHORIZED" message because the pop up authentication dialog doesn't appear. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Honestly... don't get your hopes up. since IT uses a proprietary rendering engine, unless Microsoft ports it to linux and open-sources it, or someone ports WINE to android, it won't happen. Both seems nearly impossible...
You might want to try out the Firefox port for android to see if it you have better luck than with the other browsers.
You could try using a custom user agent in dolphin browser
That looks to be a Sharepoint Server website, which is only going to work fully with IE. Sorry.
Many websites recognize when a connection is being made from a mobile device; some give an option to view their mobile site, others automatically load it.
I want to be able to access the internet from my phone, but have all websites think I am a PC, NOT a mobile device. How can I accomplish this?
I have encountered several websites that offer mobile versions of their site for a price $$. These sites will not display correctly on my phone if I go to the normal site vs the mobile site. I believe that they are purposely blocking website functionality to mobile devices because they want people to pay for access to their mobile site.

Thank you for pointing out the "user agent" key word, this helped me find the information I was seeking.

Get Dolphin Browser HD and change user agent in Settings.
It works for Iphone / Ipad. They claim an android version will available soon. Until then is there a work around for accessing the video feeds on BTN2GO.com
try using dolphin browser then go to setting and choose desktop/not android as the client thing (forgot what it is called)
I tried Dolphin & Dolphin Mini which has an iphone & ipad user agent.
No Luck

You need to use Desktop user agent as was suggested. Using iphone/ipad will still just get you the mobile site (iphone/ipad has an btn2go app, and one is being worked on for android). Since android does flash, you should be able to stream it once you get btn2go.com to think you're on a 'desktop' computer.
There's a certain website I frequent on my PC that allows me to stream episodes of breaking bad, etc. It's a pretty simple straightforward search engine that links you to a streaming flash video. When I try from my phone, it brings me to a version of the site which only allows me to search and then download the file instead of streaming it.
Is there any workaround / fix / app that will trick the site into thinking I'm on a PC?
Thank you
Dolphin (I use mini) will let u change the User Agent to Desktop.

Basically all of the third party browsers allow you to change user-agents. I really like the default browser, if only it gives option to do permanent desktop mode or allow switching like third party browsers do.
There is a way to change the stock browser to do desktop mode, but it is only per session. if you close the browser and reopen it goes back to mobile view.
I use dolphin hd set to desktop user agent, allows for streaming on hulu and full turntable.fm

i use maxthon. you can change to desktop or other browser types in the option. if you use it on your pc or laptop too you can sync all uour bookmarks and stuff with it after you sign in. its faster than google chrome on a computer and the fastest ive found for my atrix. hopes this helps.
I use both Dolphin HD and Opera, but Dolphin doesn't work properly on this site. If you're in a thread with multiple pages the button for the last page is covered so it's difficult to get to, and if you try to search the thread the search pops up and disappears immediately. The back button on Dolphin doesn't work well if you click a link in Yahoo - you have to hit back multiple times before it works. Most sites do work ok though.
The stock CM7 browser will let you change user agents to Linux desktop, Mac desktop, Froyo, Eclair, iPhone, iPad and IE6

I have both a Galaxy Nexus and a Galaxy Tab 10.1, both of which have ICS. For a while now my main android web browser of choice has been ICS Browser +, which is built on top of the stock browser, with a few additions such as being able to permanently change the user agent string to "desktop". I know that the latest version of the Chrome browser has the ability to view web pages in desktop mode, but to my knowledge you must select the "Desktop Mode" checkbox in the settings every time you want the current web page to be rendered in desktop mode. Is there a way to make that desktop mode checkbox persistent or permanently checked? I really want to start using Chrome as my main android browser, but I need to know that I can permanently have Desktop Mode. I hate mobile sites!
I am also interested.
Also interested.
+1 Wont use Chrome without this option
solution
i got fed up with this tonight and found it. sorry no link cuz new account
Basically, if you have a rooted device you can do this easily. Go to root/data/local/ and make a file called "chrome-command-line"
inside you just put something like this:
chrome --user-agent=" Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/535.19 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/18.0.1025.45 Safari/535.19"
Kill/restart chrome to apply changes
Instead of copying the useragent from my PC's chrome, I went to whatsmyuseragent.com, switched to desktop mode, and copied that. What I got is for my tf300 so yours may differ.
Apologies for any errors, I'm not a technical person, just thought I would make my first post count
