Weirdness on Android 2.1 browser: Twitter user page doesn't load - android

The URL which points to the user "coopthink" which works in most browsers, including Chrome and Safari on iOS is:
http://www.twitter.com/coopthink
However, if I try this on Android (I'm writing an app, but this even occurs directly in the browser), it redirects to:
https://mobile.twitter.com/#!/coopthink
and then says "Sorry, that page doesn't exist". Any idea what is wrong and what would be the correct URL?
EDIT: This seems to work on Android 2.2 and higher; only 2.1 (and possibly lower) show this problem.

Try this on a 2.2 and 2.1 emulator. I was getting some strange behavior previously with Android 2.2 and meta-tags on an emulator. See my previous post. It seems to be a bug with hashes and lower versions of the emulator code. I haven't tested it though on an actual device of the same generation.

Android Chrome Inspect Devices Blank Screen

I'm dealing with a problem since a few days. In normally Chrome Inspect property was working properly but suddenly that broke down. I didn't understand why happened. I'm seeing devices in page. When I clicked to inspect, It opens blank page. I uninstalled and reinstalled chrome but it doesn't work. If you have any idea about this situation, could you help me please?
I think it's a bug in the latest Chrome version, try to downgrade to an older version of Chrome.
Here is how can you downgrade Chrome version:

EDIT:
Use Microsoft Edge browser: edge://inspect/#devices - it's work fine for me.

Why is my image causing Chrome on Android to spawn dozens of tabs?

I'm working with a special image format and was creating something to dynamically generate it. I went to try it in mobile Chrome (it isn't displayable in the browser but it could be downloaded) and suddenly it opened about fifty new tabs! I fought with my browser to close them all but it just kept creating more.
http://www.sudomemo.net/images/dynamic/profile/540417_0BC7C6632064B_047.ntft
There are no redirects, no scripts. It's an image.
Any clue as to why this is happening? Have I discovered a Chrome bug?
Google Chrome 39.0.2171.93 (Official Build)
Revision bec62c44cbc7da9f6a507873382ebc111d66e9d7-refs/branch-heads/2171#{#449}
OS Android 4.4.2; XT1031 Build/KXB20.9-1.10-2.27
Steps to reproduce: Tested on Android Kit Kat, with the only installed browser being Google Chrome.
Open Chrome and go to the above link.
I figured it out a while ago.
To make it short, mobile Chrome didn't know how to handle the file, as it had a text/HTML content type but wasn't parsable as text or HTML. It got passed to the Android Content Provider, (that bit which gives you options between which apps you can use to open something), which immediately returned it to Chrome, as it's the only browser on my phone, opening it in a new tab. This looped over and over, quickly causing my phone to slow down and crash.

"Directions Not Available" Bring up navigation app in ios

We are trying to bring up the navigation app using HTML Code. We could make it happen in Android without any issues taking guidance from mobile html5 launch phone's native navigation app for iphone, Google navigation on a html5 Android app for android devices. It works quite for android devices. Tested in Sony Experia, Moto-G all is well.
But, when it comes to iphone, i get a mixed response. An Error Message saying:
"A route cannot be determined from this start location"
I tried out thie following code:
driving<br>directionsAnd got the following response in iphone 5, using iOS 7.1.1
But it works quite well for the ipad we tested in using the iOS 5.1.1. Still can't get a way to work it out in iphone with ios 7 or above versions.
Any idea or a way in which this can be overcome?
We shall be glad to have help with this.
I wandered around for the reason for the same. Then found that for places in India the apple maps doesn't seem to have the database for the same. Well finding directions from my home to office itself it point out the same error saying that the "Directions (are) not available".

Nexus 5 / Android 4.4 - web apps do not work as web apps

I cannot add a web app to the home screen on the nexus 5, android 4.4
I've followed the instructions found at this link
https://developers.google.com/chrome/mobile/docs/installtohomescreen
You can test the problem with this app for example:
http://weight.aerotwist.com
After following the instructions, I get an homescreen icon, but tapping on it brings up a menu with the various browsers available instead of just opening the web app.
I've tested the same problem with a locally installed app and it gives the message "App isn't installed".
It looks like a bug. Can anyone confirm this? Does anyone know a workaround?
Thanks!
The cause of this problem is that in Android 4.4, WebView was changed as in previously it was based on Webkit browser, and now its based on Chromium browser.
You can follow this guide to help migrating your app to Android 4.4

Webview not displaying Twitter on some Droids

This is an obscure, possibly hardware dependent error.
I have a webview that is trying to display a twitter feed like this: http://twitter.com/HP
The view works fine on a Droid 2, but fails on Droid and Droid X.
Instead of displaying the page, it just displays the twitter logo and hangs forever.
about the devices:
All running the same software, and Android 2.2. However, they are running different flavors of Android 2.2.
Droid X: 2.2.1
Droid 1: 2.2.2
Droid 2: 2.2
It seems that Verizon must have added a bug or fixed a bug in their later versions of 2.2.
This is the answer:
add this:
webView.getSettings().setDomStorageEnabled(true);
(plus use code from here:
http://www.codelark.com/2010/09/13/backwards-compatibility-in-android-using-reflection/)
I have no idea why, but if you ever see an error message like this:
Web Console: Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'profile' of undefined
then try adding this setting.
