ME TOO
I too would want to know how to do this. Its rather annoying.
+2 i want to watch tv on sites like hulu and the only thing i can find it the debug thing. which does not work for my captivate.
Maybe try an alternative browser.
Skyfire and Opera both have toolbar buttons to switch between desktop and mobile modes.

Look for "Normal Rendering" and turn it on.
Normal rendering does not work for any of the sites I go to. But Dolphin HD then the desktop plug in will. But its not that good in flash the whole reason for using Desktop view LOL.

For those of you that pulled the trigger on the official sprint update and lost the flash capability of the custom roms, there is good news. I found Dolphin Browser HD in the market and it runs flash content better than any browser I have seen thus far for android. Check it out, I was pretty excited to see this.

hmm really? like real inbrowser flashh?
It displays my website that requires Flash 10 and the default browser with the official sprint 2.1 won't. I like the look of the UI too.
Sweet. I'm gonna check this out.
Are you sure about this? I've been using dolphin browser for a while and I've never got flash stuff to work

You know this has got to be an fluke of some kind. I can run flash content on my Dolphin Browser HD with no problems. I can't run flash in the default browser.
Last night I installed Dolphin Browser HD on my wife's phone and her phone says she needs to download a flash player to view content. I have tried over and over to get hers to work and nothing, but mine works. I have no idea why. Is there a way to do screen capture video on these devices so I can show you?

Change your user agent to desktop.
it works when user agent is Android too, but a lot of pages default to mobile, so changing user agent helps with that.

Even Hulu loads (not the movies though, just says not available for your platform)...the user agent string for desktop can't be changed in Dolphin by chance, can it? Not that it would be much use on my Hero anyway, it seems pretty slow.
I tried both user agents on my wife's phone and it won't load flash, but mine will. I still can't figure out the difference.
Wouldn't work for me.

Aye works in DolhphinHD. For IMDB at least...Some other sites want me to open the flash content in another app...
why can't i play movies in You Tube with Dolphin HD?
flash plays on android 2.2 or above.
I've been wrestling with the Flash issue for months. I tried SkyFire and that doesn't work, tried Dolphin HD and that doesn't work, Youtube App doesn't work, Hulu App doesn't work. I'm pretty frustrated but I'll uninstall Dolphin HD and download the latest from the market just in case and try it again.
I managed to find a Flash 2.2 APK and it works about 15% of the time so it asks for an upgrade to the new Flash Player. It sucks we don't get native Flash on teh Hero as I use this now as m daily business phone.
Has anyone figured out how to stop the browser from automaticly switching to modile sitez?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
hopefully someone will correct me on this, but it is my understanding that whether or not you get a mobile site is not dependent on your browser, but rather some of the information that is given to the website when you contact it for content.
Here's to dreaming about hulu on my captivate while I work out... *swooon*
Just use skyfire it has the ability to make sites think that your using a desktop browser
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
I know but I like the standard browser and on 2.1 you could change it. Thx
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
On every other android phone you can enter about:debug in the browser & it will give you more settings like ua string where you have the option to choose between android, iphone & desktop but on the captivate this bricks the browser & you have to do a factory data reset to get the browser working agin or use an alternative from the market to go online agin! (SO DON'T TRY IT!!!) Someone should really try & fix this! I actually like the stock browser other than this. Now im using dolphin because of this but its not as fast as stock.

Is there not a option on the websites that say full website? usually at the bottom
Or
Use dolphin browser it has settings which make it go mobile desktop and something else
In the stock sense browser, should work in the android browser too, type about:debug, go into settings and change uastring to desktop
i use Dolphin HD
there you can set the user agent to "Desktop" and the normal version of all websites is used
Does dolphin support flash?

I wrote about:debug in android default browser ported from 2.3 but nothing happened. Maybe the URL should be something else?

If I remember correctly (haven't used the stock browser in a while) nothing should happen. When you write that in the adress field you get more options in settings. So check out settings to see if you have stuff like "User Agent" there.
Menu>More>Settings>User Agent>Desktop. That is for the AOSP browser.

Stupid question but you hit enter after about:debug right?
Where can I get the ported browser?

I use Dolphin Browser HD & mini, they could change user agent very easily. You just need to go to settings to find them. : )

They say they only support flash on Froyo 2.2 or above. Mine is 2.2, flashes works great.
1. Go to browser
2. Type about:debug (I don't remember if you need to press enter, just try it if you want)
3. Nothing will happen visually and nothing really is supposed to happen.
4. Now, press menu
5. Select more
6. Scroll down to Advanced Settings
7. Select UA string
8. Select Desktop
if you can't see UA string, i don't know what else you can do
I have a Liquid A1 with Froyo 2.2 (LCR rom).
Unfortunately, I cannot view the full version of spome sites, even switching to "desktop user agent".
I tryed in Dolphin HD, in the default browser after the "debug" option, in Opera Mobile, Miren, etc...
For example, no way to go to the full view of this site:
http://www.primocanalesport.it/
(it's a local sport page: I would try the live streaming of their video news when I'm on the go)
I *always* finish to:
http://www.primocanalesport.it/mobile/
even manually writing the URL, with the user agent set on desktop mode.
Someone could help me??
Every browser I've tried loads the mobile view of pages. I don't have the option checked and I set my UAString to Desktop. Tried manual as well but it just switches back. I can't get it to stick. I don't like Facebook Mobile. I just want full versions. any ideas?
Use Dolphin browser. I prefer the mini version.

Yeah same here tried about:debug setting and changed my uastring to desktop but websites still comeout in mobile view. Hopefully this will change with the new ota.
I am new to android having just come over from the darkside.(iPhone). One thing that I miss from the iPhone is that when I visit a web page in mobile safari, and then exit the application, I could come back to the application and find My web page still open and any windows still open as well. Is there any setting I am overlooking that would allow this behavior on my android?

Its called home button, dont worry, it wont consume memory
Sent from my X10a using xda premium
You should be able to press Home, open whatever else you want to use and still return to the Browser as you left it. Android will keep the Browser state in memory as long as you don't open too many other things in the meantime, otherwise it may be booted out to free up memory.
Long press Home to switch between apps that are in memory.
The home button solution works okay, thanks guys. Does anyone know if there is a way or another browser application that will allow me to keep those windows open indefinitely?
