Android 4.3 Browser Only Access CRM Mobile Pages

Question
-
I am using an Android 4.3 tablet to access the CRM website. But it only gives me the mobile client. From what I can see on the Dynamics CRM Mobile support pages, the built in browser to Android should give me access to the full CRM client?
What do you see when you access CRM from an Android tablet?

I am using Android x86 as a way to test the CRM for Android App from my PC by running Android under Hyper-V.
Seems to work well. From the CRM for Android App, if I click a link to view the record in the browser then I get the full web client experience using the stock Android browser, so that fulfils my needs since I am only doing to this to enable spot testing of CRM from Android app + browser.
Its a good solution without having to use another device.

Have you installed Chrome on Android? I think it only works in Chrome, not the default Android browser.

Wayne is correct. The "stock" Android browser will vary by device, but Google Chrome should work much the same as it does on your desktop.

Thanks for the advice.
Unfortunately when I tried to install Google Chrome it says it is incompatible with my device!
Strange. This is Android 4.3, the x86 version.

What device is this running on? Android on x86 is pretty darn rare, especially for tablets.
Also, Chrome for Android does support x86, so that makes me even further confused. Finally, I would recommend trying Firefox for Android, since that also should work: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.mozilla.firefox
