Remove Jetpack Sharing buttons in the Mobile Theme

You can add the following code to a functionality plugin to remove the Jetpack Sharing buttons in the Mobile Theme:

// Check if we are on mobile
function jetpackme_is_mobile() {

    // Are Jetpack Mobile functions available?
    if ( ! function_exists( 'jetpack_is_mobile' ) )
        return false;

    // Is Mobile theme showing?
    if ( isset( $_COOKIE['akm_mobile'] ) && $_COOKIE['akm_mobile'] == 'false' )
        return false;

    return jetpack_is_mobile();
}

// Let's remove the sharing buttons, but only if we're on a mobile device
function jetpackme_maybe_add_filter() {

    // On mobile, and on the home page?
    if ( jetpackme_is_mobile() ) {
        remove_filter( 'the_content', 'sharing_display', 19 );
		remove_filter( 'the_excerpt', 'sharing_display', 19 );
    }
}
add_action( 'wp_head', 'jetpackme_maybe_add_filter' );

// Build the function
function jptweak_remove_share() {
	remove_filter( 'the_content', 'sharing_display', 19 );
	remove_filter( 'the_excerpt', 'sharing_display', 19 );
}
