Webservice request from android app seems to be overridden with user agent string 'phandroidappl'

Last time I made a grep there, the phone crashed so I had to take my battery out. Still I also think it must be located somewhere around there. I will refine my search.

Thanks, but which statement is not correct? Your link to the source proves that the browser posts another user agent string than the one I mentioned. I doubt the browser is involved at all since the ws request is most likely sent from the android app.

My question was where the mentioned string could emerge from, as it appeares obviously only on Jolla.

From the source. The Sailfishbrowser uses this agent string

Mozilla/5.0 (Maemo; Linux; U; Jolla; Sailfish; Mobile; rv:31.0) Gecko/31.0 Firefox/31.0 SailfishBrowser/1.0

Nothing phandroid there.

I don't use the sailfish browser.

Hi, I have the same problem here. Am also using the Philips Hue app. I think it's not the user agent we are talking about. It seems so be a custom protocol. The workflow looks like this:

1. Open the Hue app
2. Klick "Login to my hue"
3. Browser opens with a Loginmask on meethue.com
4. Login with hue account (still in Browser)
5. Site asks if the app can access account information (still in browser)
6. Click "Yes"
7. Browser redirects to an URL like: "phandroidappl://sdk/login/sha256hash"

I tried to ask Google what phandroidappl might be, but no one knows.

I guess the hue app registers this protocol somewhere in android to get the hash from the URL?

OK! Thanks @diego for the analysis. :-) This means the URL request intends to launch the application registered by "phandroidappl" which is apparently supposed to be the hue app. The only problem is that afaik no apps can be registered in SFOS at the moment, or can they? If anybody knows how to register an android app on SFOS so that it can be called from a URL this problem is solved (imho).
