Google Calendar erroneously identifies Opera as mobile

I am a happy user of Google Calendar across different machines, browsers. However, when I am working with Opera 12.16 on my Ubuntu 12.04 machine, opening Google Calendar will automatically select the mobile version of the calendar, which is annoying.

How can I fix this problem? Is this an identification issue? GMail and Google Search just show up normal.

You could try changing your "User Preferences" to always show the Desktop version of a website.

If you type opera:config in the address bar you will be presented with the "Preferences Editor".
Expand the "User Prefs" option and copy the below into the "Custom User Agent" field:

For Mac/Linux:

Opera/9.80 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X; U; en) Presto/2.2.15 Version/10.10

For Windows:

Opera/9.80 (Windows NT 6.1; U; en) Presto/2.2.15 Version/10.10

Finally, scroll to the bottom, click Save and then OK on the next dialog to confirm the changes.

Nice, good to know. – Yass – 2013-10-20T10:33:54.527

If I change it to Opera/9.80 (Linux; Ubuntu 12.04; U; en) Presto/2.2.15 Version/10.10 it also correctly identifies as Ubuntu. – Bernhard – 2013-10-20T10:38:28.387

Forget about this last remark, then my original problem reappears :) – Bernhard – 2013-10-20T10:39:35.737

So you're saying it doesn't work if you change the information to Linux; Ubuntu 12.04? – Yass – 2013-10-20T10:44:57.463

Exactly, I get the mobile version back. – Bernhard – 2013-10-20T10:48:06.447

Oh ok. As long as it works with the original line :) – Yass – 2013-10-20T10:52:33.967

Use the Google Calendar's desktop URL instead of the mobile version's URL.
