Our mobile site was working fine a few weeks ago.  I suspect one of the recent Main Page changes disrupted the display of the mobile site.

The instructions for setting up a mobile main page are here:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mobile_Projects/Mobile_Gateway/Mobile_homepage_formatting

On desktop Wikimedia sites, it is possible to determine the user's
country - and to some extent city, latitude and longitude, but these
are often inaccurate. They are stored in the javascript variables
"Geo.country", "Geo.city", "Geo.lat" and "Geo.lon" respectively.
Unfortunately this hasn't been implemented on the mobile sites yet
