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??
Hello dear people
i just got my HTC sensation and im getting a really nasty problem:
my phone shows only internetpages in mobile view and even i chance settings not to show up mobile view, it does it though!!
has anybody the same Problem oder can anybody help me out with this issue?
Help is greatly appreciated!
While I am still using my Nexus One, as the release of the sim-free Sensation is almost a full month in the future - and therefore can't say if there is a settings toggle that would solve your problem:
Dolphin HD is a great alternative to the default browser, it allows for changing the user agent which will allow you to view all sites in default desktop-view: https://market.android.com/details?id=mobi.mgeek.TunnyBrowser&feature=search_result
Most mobile versions of popular websites really are rubbish, and many of them miss the basic functionality of efficiently switching to their sites desktop view.

Well thanks for this answer, tried the dolphin browser and surprisingly it works on this browser
Think i gonna use this browser in future so problem is basically solved.
Now i got a new problem: all wallpaper which i tried to use wont scroll on the home screen not even those wallpapers which are saved on the phone on standard... can anybody help me out? On my old desire, all wallpapers are scrolling!
some sites force mobile sites automatically no matter what. look on the page for a link to view full site. maybe that'll help?
On some sites there are links for the full site indeed but i dont want to always cklick these links first. On my old desire all pages are displayed in desktop view wenn i disable the mobile view in the browser settings. On my sensation it always shows all page in mobile view whatever i set the option to. But with dolphin browser it works and by the way im starting to like this browser more then the standard one
To my second problem, can anybody tell me why wallpapers wont scroll one the home menu on sensation?

From my experience even if you uncheck mobile in browser settings some sites still come up as mobile. My solutions to this is I type the full web address of the site I want to visit. As In www.wisn.com. Every since I started typing the full web address into the stock browser all sites come up as the full website. When I found this out I uninstalled dolphin. Hopes this helps.
Edit:
Besides the full web address typing, I found some decent info while searching threw Google and posted a thread in general. It might help or it might not. But its something you might want to check out and give it a shot.

This actually doesn't do anything unless you select the option for Manual UA string and enter the code manually, but either way, it reverts on reboot.
I've had this problem on my Evo and now also on my TF...
Every time I reboot my device when I click a bookmark or URL link of any sort it asks me which browser to open it with and asks to check the box if I want it to always open with that browser. That browser will then truly be my default browser and automatically open such URLs and bookmarks until I reboot and I have to select which browser again... Is there any way to change this so that it remains the default browser and automatically opens links after rebooting? I use Dolphin HD by the way. Thanks in advance!

Yeah, its happening to me too. Hope it gets fixed.
I had the same problem with Dolphin HD on Desire S as well as on Nexus S. Still no fix for this issue?
SOLVED
Ok, I got it All you need to do is to keep browser in phone memory. Concerning Dolphin HD, only browser must be in phone memory, you may move add-ons to SD card...
This worked for my Nexus S but I hope it's universal.
Hi All,
I've done some cursory searches, and maybe I'm not using the right keywords, but I was wondering if others are experiencing this and if there's a setting somewhere I'm not seeing to maybe shut off this weird bug.
Here's the most recent example that illustrates this issue. I was browsing around on the xda-forums and there was an attached APK I wanted to download. So, on the computer I clicked on the QR Code and just had my stock (rooted, GB v2.3.6) phone detect the direct download to the apk from the link using barcode scanner. It correctly identifies the link and I click on open in browser. The stock browser loads automatically and begins to download the apk. Great. I hit the home button, pull down the notification, click on the downloaded file, it asks me to install the apk, I agree, it installs, I open it. Wonderful.
I then open my email and there's a link to a site. I click on it and then the browser proceeds to load the last loaded page, in this case a downloadable file. So it proceeds to download the file AGAIN and appending -N.apk (where N is the next available number) to the filename. Unless I restart the phone, it will continue to download the file again and again, increasing the value of N every time I attempt to load the browser again. Whether by clicking on a link, or just opening the browser directly from the app's icon. Any thoughts on this?! Am I just doing something wrong? I guess this is a feature you want to load the last page you had open the last time the browser was used, which is fine for web-pages, but I don't want it to keep downloading the same file over and over again every time I load the browser!
Any thoughts or suggestions, or even a link to where this is discussed and hopefully resolved would be of GREATEST appreciation!
Thanks!

Hit menu>new window
That will prompt your gmail attachment to open in that new window.
I use an app called Download Them All and never get that problem. It will download attachments, files from the net, etc. Good little app.

I'm not sure that resolves the issue. Since the initial attempt to open a browser window was in fact to load up a downloadable file (the original APK). Every time I open the browser app, it attempts to reload the last loaded page (or in this case, the file) and so it redownloads the file. In order for me to click on Menu>New Window, I would still have to load the browser app and it's at that stage it redownloads the file.
When the download has started.. manage windows. Close the window.

Yeah...I tried that...you'd think it would work, right? For some reason, the browser doesn't respect that....
Only thing I can recommend at this point is to use a different browser... or user lol jk!

Did you try the Download Them All app?
It eliminates the browser from opening at all.
Also, check the settings for the browser and see if there is an option to disable cookies being saved. Clear your cache, etc. That should stop the issue for this particular item at least.

Thanks, I installed it but haven't really tested it yet. Not sure how this is supposed to fix the issue though since the app doesn't load BEFORE the file is downloaded, it's on the list of apps to select once you click on an already downloaded file and it asks you where you want to save it - which is a nice feature, but doesn't prevent the file from downloading in the first place.....
Thoughts?
Is it just me, or does anyone else have a problem with chrome crashing and freezing while browsing the xda forums? (From my desktop)
It works smoothly for me in chrome browser... try upgrading chrome

Had same problem. This worked for me:

Open up Google Chrome and in the address bar type - chrome://plugins/
You will then see a Details link over to the right-hand side of the page. Click the + and you’ll see a long list of the installed plugins in detail.
Look in the Flash section and find the line which has the text - \pepflashplayer.dll
Click the Disable link next to this line and restart the browser.

Just read up on what you told me to do, and did it. Thanks for the advice. I will see if it works for this site.
i've had that disabled for a while and i still get random crashes. not sure what to do
Happened to me again to. I added adfree or adblock for chrome and that finally did the trick for me.

Browser crashing is usually a result of bad script on a website or some kind of incompatibility.
I use Firefox more than Chrome and get less issues. However, I do have adblock plus addon, which obviously blocks ads, at the same time, causes less objects to load thus less problems, maybe ads could be causing your issues.
Try a different browser, works for me. Play offers many browsers to choose from.
