I have set up a 301 redirect rule in the .htaccess file in the root directory in my joomla site all according to how it should be done. 
The code looks like this, and is entered directly after the "RewriteEngine On", like this:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^gagneffiske.se
RewriteRule (.*) www.gagneffiske.se/$1 [R=301,L]


What this does is simply to redirect all urls without www. in front to the www.gagneffiske.se url to avoid double indexing in google. It works fine but not with Mobile Joomla as it seems...
Mobile Joomla seem to loose mobile site detection when activating this code.
Now as this is a very important thing to redirect urls either with www or without www like I have done it would be great if there is a solution to this.
It affects all my sites except for one which makes this even more weird.
The site that this script doesn't seem to affect the Mobile Joomla functionality is www.lmiab.se

So please witgh sugar on top if anyone has a solution to this it would be great.

Cheers

I found a dead simple solution to it.

I simply changed the redirect to make all www. entries going to the url without www, like this:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.gagneffiske.se
RewriteRule (.*) http://gagneffiske.se/$1 [R=301,L]


This works but why it wont work the other way is a little mystery to me. 
But if someone with heavy SEo knowledge say to me that you should use www. urls not without www then I guess I have to find a solution for making both the redirect and Mobile Joomla to work together.
But I would guess either way works as long as the urls are not duplicated.

Well it is a solution but if you wanted to redirect from yourdomain.com to www.yourdomain.com then it wont work so still if Denis or someone at the MJ developers could tall us why this is happening then it would be even better.
