Hi just like title says.
Debug mode doesnt work
I installed Dolphin HD. You can find a "desktop"-mode in it's settings.
Dont want to mess my device, dont want a workaround ;-) so I'll stay at stock browser ... this one must do it somehow
what exactly is this desktop mode? Do you mean fullscreen? If so, webkit wont hide the taskbar, youll need a third party browser like dolphin or firefox.

the mode I nean is that the browser is not recognised as a mobile device but as a desktop pc, some sites redirekt you to mobile version and features are not available e.g. google calander
On my HTC, just click the menu button in the browser, then "More", then "Settings" and there you should see "Mobile view", just untick it.
Webkit will not allow you to choose user agent. Get dolphin he from the market, it does.

Mmm I don't think you know what you're talking about.
Dolphin is using Webkit, it's just the appearance that has been changed.
And you can do it with the stock browser just the way I explained it a few post above.
Oh please.
Why don't you try doing exactly as you've recommended above little buddy, starting with more, then settings, then whatever.
what he is saying is true, i have that option on my htc but not my galaxy.

Ok I may be wrong about the settings, but still, Dolphin is based on Webkit.

The Samsung stock browser does not offer the ability to change user agent. Samsung have stripped that setting from the browser (along with quite a number of other ones littered throughout the OS). Samsung's iteration and Dolphin are both based on webkit.
Use Firefox (behaves a bit randomly though, some pages display mobile view while others don't) or Dolphin HD with Desktop Toggles AddOn as a work around until we get some custom ROMs for this thing.
Like said above no setting like this in menu, not even with debug mode. Personaly I think the whole device is on every edge a bit buggy, translation faults and some senceless functions, or some wich are not thought to the next level. Like allshare, nice but not really functional no option to set more files at once in playlist, or mydocs, no option zo rename.
I also miss that function . On my N1 I can go into the menu and change so the browser does not present itself as a mobile device. On the big screen tab I would mostly like to view webpages as a real browser and not a mobile browser.
When You log on to a newspaper they all end up as mobile pages and You only get the stupid headlines and not the stuff You actually browsed to get.
Tried to download COD yesterday but could not do it as the browser went into mobile mode and presented itself as P1000 which stopped me from even trying to install it.
I search a little bit around without success, about:debug enable some features but seems there is not a chance to enable it.
Seems it happen also with Galaxy S with froyo installed, differently than HTC Desire that has the default the user agent selectable by default (I think is an HTC chose).
Anyway not just Dolphin HD allows to change it also Skyfire, but I agree that would be nice to have it on the default browser...(that seems to be faster then the Dolphin)
For me xScope 6 is the fastest (and featurewise imo the best as well) on the Tab.
With yesterdays release of Dolphin HD 4.0 we now have the finest mobile browser on the tab. All the bugs that used to tick me off are gone and fullscreen is silky smooth.

Does a modern html5 site like this http://sammystodos.brandonaaron.net
works on Nexus One or Desire?
It seems that the browser doesn't support standards as much as safari on iPhone..
Chrome is by far the best browser on the market, followed by Opera.
Eventually they will merge everything that desktop's Chrome can do into Android..
But so far - yes, that website works fine, except for editing the fields that you added. I assume that can easily be fixed by tweaking the site itself.
I can confirm that its working on the nexus one with to stock browser.

Which "Chrome" browser are you speaking of? I see a couple that say they only replace the logo, but none claiming to be anything different than the stock browser.

I tried it on the Desire browser and it looks exactly like yours, but I cannot type. Holding the Menu button to bring up the keyboard doesn't work either.
Checking the checkboxes and using the trash can icon to delete items do work.

How is it better?
It's Fennec, which can do everything Firefox can do, including making use of the desktop addons, and it supports Flash 9.4
This will be an ongoing problem with HTML5.
"how does it look on this browser ??"
This is what people dont get about Flash. You have complete control over how everything looks. You dont have that control in HTML , everything is still browser dependent.
Not saying this cant be ironed out..but the impression that a <video> tag is going to solve HTMLs shortcomings is silly. As it stands the browsers are already divided over codec support.
Hi guys, i wanna take advantage of this thread to now more real-life web browsing issues.
How well works this sites on the N1 or HTC Desire browser? (without adding any ad-hoc apps)
- www.facebook.com (does the chat work?)
- www.google.com/reader
- www.google.com/analytics
- www.youtube.com/html5 (how well run the html5 video)
Can u compare them to a normal web browser or iphone?
I have been struggling with the slow default browser for a while now... generally laggy, but particulary dismal on these forums and on Slash dot. I'm sure you all know how it goes. Had to resort to Firefox for many things, but that has its own problems, like not very tablety UI.
Well, today I found Opera (note: Mobile, NOT Mini - both are in Market). Where the hell were those guys before? It's blazing fast - yes, even on XDA forums - yet still full featured, and with UI that looks and feels very nice on Xoom - address bar always on, and tabs are one tap away. Bonus points for default black theme which meshes nicely with Honeycomb. The only downsid so far is no Flash - it mentions support in settings, and shows the "tap to play" icon, but doesn't load plugin on tap. I guess not updated for 10.2 yet...
If you hate default browser, definitely give this a try. Oh, and don't forget to check opera:config - lots of interesting settings there, like font/color overrides.
Dolphin HD?
Sent from my Xoom using XDA App
Dolphin uses same engine as stock browser, and seems to be slow on the same websites. Firefox and Opera are not because they have their own engines.
I do like Opera mobile browser myself. I use it on my OG Droid all the time. It's a good solid speedy browser. But then again I also like xScope and their web browser. It works very well on the Xoom, and you can also change the user agent. It has a file browser built into it which might be good for some who don't already have a basic file browser. Should give it a go sometime. It is probably the fastest of them all, I've had it since launch. I have xScope Pro and prefer it over any of the Opera browsers any day. But they both are excellent choices. It's all preference based. Right now I am mainly using Dolphin HD on my Xoom until xScope gets flash 10.2 working correctly. Dolphin is a pretty awesome browser.
I'm stuck between xScope and Dolphin for my default browser. I can't choose. xD

Still ****ty with user-agent.
No desktop mode (spoof user-agent).
But yeah, it is fast.
Dolphin for me just because it can change the user-agent to desktop.

Well if u go to opera:config ---- user prefs ---- Custom user-agent you should see a blank window, insert your the user-agent string in that field. I've tested this with the ipad and chrome strings now i'm using the firefox string
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; ru; rv:1.9.2.3) Gecko/20100401 Firefox/4.0 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)
Yeah I tried out Firefox and couldn't believe how much faster it opened some sites compared to the Honey browser. I did get a lot of crashes though. I will have to try Opera now. Thanks!
I actually tried Opera Mobile again and their new update for tablets. Not bad, it's getting better. It certainly might have the potential to maybe be the top web browser if they keep updating it for the newest devices and adding new features. I'm keeping an eye on it and look forward to updates.
On a side note.. on the desktop I always preferred Firefox over Opera because of all the add-ons and customizations, like adblock plus. And Firefox was always a speed demon. They are trying to bring that full desktop experience to us Android users, add-ons and all! I'd watch out for Firefox as well even though the browser is still in the early beta stage. Once perfected it will dominate for sure, but it has a long way to go in terms of development. Gotta love the fox!
This string works great.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!!!!
The smoothness of opera's scrolling has always been the selling point for me. Tried all the rest and havent been satisfied. Now that I dont get the annoying mobile versions of sites im all settled..

It looks like I was actually using the updated version. Unfortunately, I found its release notes, and they say that Flash does not work on Xoom specifically.
Speaking of speed, one thing I found interesting about this Opera release is that they somehow made it silky smooth panning and zooming without either the Safari-style "checkerboard" nor bitmap scaling - honest vector rendering only. What's interesting is that desktop Opera isn't half as good at that (partly why I switched to Chrome on desktop some time ago). Mobile getting all the love?
After using it for a while, one thing it's not is very stable (well, not any more so than Firefox beta). But between them two and the stock browser, you can always find one that doesn't FC on any particular website
I love Opera Mini but am I the only one that can't get flash to work with it? I also don't know why it isn't picking up my bookmarks that I used with my stock browser.

Once they did Flash this will be my daily browser. just smooth as butter.
i just installed Opera on the Xoom.. works great, fast, but 2 things
it says there is Flash, but it does not work, on demand or just auto, nothing, just blank screen
2. no option to set "desktop" always goes mobile.
i could be missing something, please help

I think it's something that will be supported since both the stock browser and Dolphin work with it on XOOM. Saw your post though. Please post here if you get a response
The main app any tablet user uses is the Browser I'd assume and unfortunately its the weak spot on Honeycomb.
Viewing most desktop sites is very unbearable (try facebook, XDA, Google Plus) as the page lags, and text input is very difficult as well (huge lag)
Do any devs have any idea how to improve the speed on this stock browser in custom roms or so, I remember a kernel on the Xoom fixed things
This link has more info:

If we could get a fix for this I could finally love my tab.
There is a lot less lag on the bonsai rom, but it's not completely gone. Ultimately google will have to be the to fix it.
theyve never mentioned it /acknowledged it
thats the worrying part
Ya know what actually, as,much as i dont like the look of the browser, opera mobile is the best functioning browser ive ever used. There is no browser lag, it render eveything exactly the way my desktop does. Im very suprised that google cannot mirror whatever opera mobile has done.
Ill give you an example of where opera finally got it right...
Try and do a search on xdas site and see what happens. It opens the text box for a second and then it drops the keyboard. Its never works and it is so annoying.
Now try it on opera mobile. Oh my god, it works!
It doesnt work on dolphin, firefox or any other browser ive tried. Opera mobile it works. Can a super sharp coder figure out a way to take whatever opera has in it and put it in the stock HC browser??
it`strange becouse in some forums is all ok, in other the text is very very slow :-(

I tried Opera and everything works great except two things. the first is that often times you will enter text in a text box, and then when you minimize the keyboard to click the submit button, it removes everything you just typed! I had this happen to me about 5 times and then I gave up and uninstalled it. The other issue is mainly a preference, but the tabs suck! Give me real tabs like the stock browser. opera and Firefox have a horrible tab implementation on Android.

Google needs to give this thing a Desktop identity and load the desktop version of the websites. One thing Apple is doing right with the iPad.
Even better get rid of this Chrome Based Android Mobile Browser and put there the real Chrome.

even when I've manually set the useragent to a desktop browser, I still get kicked to the mobile versions of some sites. And sites like...google search, which should know better!
I've tested a bunch of browsers at this point and none of them are perfect. I think dolphin comes closest, but it definitely has little things that are annoying (such as it being way to easy to close the wrong tab)

You need to root and have ClockWorkMod on your Note to flash those files.
Here is the link on how to root and install CWM5. It's a long read but basicly you download the root programme, the correct modified Kernel file, extract the kernel into the root programme folder (do this 2 times until you get a zip file), then let the programme do the magic (takes 2 mins).

I had the green stock battery icon. but after flashing the 2nd file, the battery icon was replaced with a numerical version.
Thank you.And does it also support the text reflow which is not working properly in the stock browser?,I am using the Opera but relutantly mainly for those two reasons.
I have another reason idon't use the stock browser.
You can't have the buttons that let you adjust the text size to the screen as much as you want.
At first i was convinced that it was a mistake on my part, but no, as hard to believe as it is they dropped something as essential as this, they did.
Could someone post firmware specific browser links?
I am for instance currently on XXKKA.
Yes, reflow would be very nice. I use Dolphin HD but reflow doesn't work there either. Rotating the display triggers text reflow though...

Course cept you have to repeat that over and over. The if not using this id use boat mini. Text reflow works great... Faster than the others.

why you guys not try firefox? reflow, user agent, plus the powerful adblock plus!
The reflow in stock works once...many third party browsers I can double tap a number of times for continual reflow.
The zoom icon allows continual reflow also but it's not available on stock.
If modded on it'd probably work well.

Firefox is just slow. Stock is very fast bested only by boat mini browser. (btw text reflows only via he zoom icon... Not touch)
I use rightware's browser benchmark
http://browsermark.rightware.com/browsermark/index.action
Also use a 10 site download test.
Both corroborate the results. Opera mobile is in the money also.
This is speed of course not features.
Will this work on the new kl3... and do we have to flash both??
I don't think it works on the different build. Someone correct me.
I haven't tried.... went back to boat browser mini.
Give Opera a try. It's the only one that uses hardware acceleration.
On HC i used the stock browser almost exclusively. with the user agent set to desktop. on ICS, however, this seems to be missing. I noticed this on Flexreaper and Taboonay. i don't know if this is a OS thing or a ROM thing.
i'm actually having to revert to dolphin, which i don't like using on a tab, because its currently my best way of accessing the full version of the internet, not the neutered mobile version. i find the stock browser to have a much better UI, and faster on my tablet than dolphin, but the mobile sites are really starting to get to me.
does anyone have a way to let me set the stock ICS browser back to a desktop user agent?
thanks in advance
There's a way to request desktop site in the menu on the upper right corner of the stock browser.

Have you tried ICS Browser + in the Play Store? It has the option for choosing an User Agent.
wonderful! thank you. i have a new default browser
EDIT: sadly its not compatible with Acer Print. aw well, i don't print very often anyways.
Quick ICS browser is also very good. A lot more customizable...
You can also type in the address bar "about:debug" (without quotes), go to settings -> debug -> UAString in the browser and change the user agent for the default browser. Once done making your advanced settings, type "about:debug" again and it will hide the advanced options while keeping those settings.
