Somehow my internet browser switched to a different one for default.
Opera to IE
I want Opera to be the default browser, how can I fix this?

I have the same problem but vice versa. I like IE and NOT Opera.
I had this same issue after installing Skyfire. I found the solution for restoring Opera to default here :

[TIP] Restore Opera Mobile as default browser
If you have tried Skyfire and are wishing you could restore Opera Mobile as the default browser, there is an easy way to do this.
1) Open Opera Mobile
2) Type opera:config into the address, this gives you access to tons of preferences
3) Expand the install bullet
4) Check Browser First Time Launch and press Save
5) Exit Opera
6) Restart Opera
The first time you restart it will take a while, and may even close without showing you the browser, but now open a link from e-mail or other source and it should use Opera to open.

Thank you very much. It works!
Thank you much -- it worked for me as well. Don't know why, but Skyfire was awful on my Fuze -- slow, jerky, and wouldn't even render some pages?!?
after i install this hayruko's version it seems that i'm having a problem with my browser. even when i change the uia string via about:debug to change it to desktop version after a while the browser goes back to mobile version are you guys having the same problem? i hate mobile browser version is there anyway to permanently change the uia string instead of keep changing it everytime i go to my browser?
Actually, if you configure it on googles site (search preferences) to use full html you will be fine. It is not an issue with the browser, but with google automatically dumming down the pages it lists in search results.
1) Go directly to google.com and select the settings link.
2) Truen off "Format web pages for your phone"
3) Save.
Hope this helps. If you clear cookies you will have to do this again.
did not help. there's gotta be some option to change user agent permanently...
I know Opera mini reroutes through a server to decrease the data actually downloaded to the phone. Does the pre-installed Opera 9.5 work along the same lines, or does it download the full page as per a regular browser?
If you activate Turbo in Opera Mobile it will function like Opera Mini and route the data through a server, but in 'out the box' configuration it is like any other browser, direct from the server of the page you are accessing (simplistically speaking anyway)
Thanks!
Does anyone know whether Skyfire reroutes or loads directly?

I don't see any option to turn it on and off. Did I miss it somewhere?
nevermind, I guess I had to use the command opera:config and change it in there. I though tit would be some kind of quick toggle switch in setting.
Is there an app that will change user agent in the browser
other then about:debug don't work for some sites it still gives the mobile website
even skyfire & dolphin still show mobile sites sometimes even if it has desktop view is selected they must be using about:debug option since all they are GUI on top of the stock android browser.
only browser i seen work Xscope browser with ( UA string set to computer ) but it can't use flash 4.1 that ships in the with evo I will have to wait for froyo to get flash 10.1 and hope that xscope can use it?
it be cool if i could just use stock browser instead of having to use 3rd party browser but UA string options are very limited.
any ideas?
Hi
Has anybody figured out how to use ASProxy
alsubang.github.com
or any other way on Android
to enable internet access for apps other then browser (i.e. pipe all traffic via port 80/443) on Unlimited Browsing Plans (not normall data plan)
like the one offered by Speakout 7-11 in Canada?
Would it require a separate computer running a proxy server since provider's
proxy (APN) will drop any packets with port other then 80 or 443?

By default, Speakout wireless only works for browsing (80, 443).
ASProxy enables Email, Map, Android Market, etc.
I found Skype does not work.
Enter the same APN settings into Asproxy and you should be good to go. I found voip apps still don't work. However, google voice works.
It took me a while to figure it out but here's what I did:
1. Make sure you have the Speakout APN profile entered into the phone and that you have data enabled.
2. Disable Wifi.
3. Stop ASProxy under its Status tab.
2. Delete all previous proxy profiles added under the Proxies tab (if your created any)
3. Under the settings tab, for Connection types choose "APN(3G/4G)" only.
4. ASProxy will automatically detect the phone's APN connection. A screen should pop up to set up a new Proxy with the following info - Connection Type: APN, MCC+MNC: 302720 and Operator: Rogers. If it does not, exit ASProxy and start it again, and select the "Proxies" tab - it should come up then.
5. For the new Proxy, you have to add some additional information (you also have to scroll down to fill in all of this info):
Proxy Type: HTTP
Proxy Host: 10.128.1.69
Proxy Port: 80
Bypass Local: [leave unchecked]
DNS Forwarding: None
Proxy Security: Basic
Username: wapuser1
Password: wap
Save the profile.
6. Under the Status tab, start ASProxy by touching the button.
You should be good to go.
Thanks.
I still can't get it to work!

What do you mean by Google Voice?
That you can open its web page and initiate a call?
BTW, are there any free alternative to ASProxy that can support WAP proxies?
BTW, is SO still 3G?
It works for some apps (browser, market, maps) but not for others.
Most notably, Google Talk doesn't connect.
Sync doesn't work. It works if I force it, but it won't sync automatically.
Alternative - ASProxy
Hi,
I was trying different softwares and none is perfect. "Proxymator" has the simplest UI and works with Google Maps, Gmail Facebook but not for Market and other apps. None of the voips work either. But I guess ASProxy is similar, not all apps work. I am waiting for a better "Proxymator" version.
Hope it helps...
Cheers

Well, while trying different apps, out of curiosity I installed "Autoproxy" developed by here in xda forum. Just forget about anything else mates. This is it...works beautifully with almost all apps. Just search the forum........
Hope this helps.
When researching the same question as to how to use Android Apps with the SO Unlimited Browsing plan, I came across this app (forum will not let me post link, sorry):
Orbot is an application that allows mobile phone users to access the web, instant messaging and email without being monitored or blocked by their mobile internet service provider. Orbot brings the features and functionality of Tor (read more below) to the Android mobile operating system.

I installed it and it seems like it could work for this, but I'm not proficient enough to figure out how to configure it, or if it is do-able. Google search term: 'Orbot, Tor on ANdroid'
Is there an equivalent iPhone app or way to get Speakout to work with other apps on an iphone?
