Website in mobile devices via 3G network not working
Sort:
Chess.com does not seem to work on a 3G mobile network (either using an iPhone or IPad)
It seems to just time out as the clock runs down
Upgrade to at least 4G, I recommend getting LTE or 5G(E) for chess on the web.
I’m not sure I understand your reply to my post…. Obviously an iPhone 14 will connect to 4g or 5G networks when they are available. But if you are traveling on a train, you will often be switched to 3G connections as you travel through countryside…. Which is when Chess.com automatically “looses connection “ and runs down the clock.
Obviously that would be understandable if the iPhone looses connection to the internet, but that is not the case. Chess.com simply does not run using a 3G connection, even most other applications continue to run normally when there is only a 3G connection
Hi,
I found out that the chesspieces don't load on the website when using a webbrowser on a mobile device, (iPad in this case), via 3G network. (not talking about the iOS app here)
This is because some cellular network provides (at least in Europe) modify the website traffic send to mobile webbrowsers. In this case, Java Jquery is broken and javascripts using them crash with errors.
The solution is, appearantly, to not host Jquery on the source website, but use the externally available JQuery at Goolge for instance.
Does this ring a bell with Chess.com developers, and any chance it will change?
(If you insist on knowing why this is an issue: My father in law doesn't want to use the iPad app because he can't go back in the analyser beyond the point where you entered the analyser. If you fix that, all is well
)
greetings.
