Deactivate SharePoint 2013 mobile view

SharePoint 2013 detects if the site is being displayed in a mobile device and shows the content in a very simplified portal that remove most of the features.
In this article I’ll show 3 different methods to change this behavior, and display the full website when in mobile devices.

OPTION #1 – DEACTIVATE SHAREPOINT MOBILE FEATURE
  1. Open your site and go to Site Settings -> Manage site features
  2. Locate Mobile Browser View and click Deactivate

OPTION #2 – CHANGE THE REDIRECT BEHAVIOR OF A MOBILE BROWSER

  1. On your server click Start, click Administrative Tools, and then Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager
  2. Right-click the IIS website where the SharePoint web application is installed, and then click Explore
  3. In Windows Explorer, double-click the App_Browsers folder
  4. Open the compat.browser file in a text editor
  5. Find the node that corresponds to the mobile browser or device that you want to modify
  6. Find the element
  7. Set the value attribute to false to display a standard view of the site in the mobile browser
  8. Save your changes to the compat.browser file
  9. Restart IIS by entering the following command at the command prompt
  10. After the restart open your SharePoint site in your mobile device

OPTION #3 – CREATE A DEVICE CHANEL
