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?

Try typing the following in the browser: about:debug
Then settings-> UAstring -> choose desktop.
Thats it.
Get in the browser, press menu,more,settings, and the fourth one , mobile view, untick that, and BOOM!! U're ready to go...

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 has worked on EVERY single phone I've owned EXCEPT the sensation.

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.

On your phone go to hulu.com/widget/player/videos and enjoy!
(make sure user agent is desktop)
Out of curiosity is this hulu allowing us to use their site or is this a workaround?
It says that I am trying to access Hulu using and anonymous proxy tool.. and will not allow me to watch videos in what seemed to be a quite efficient video player.
Is it possibly because I installed the modified Flash.apk that this is happening?

nice, works for me. thanks
just for general information: my user agent was already set to desktop, and i still got the proxy message. I hit about:debug / settings / uasring / i re-hit desktop / reloaded page and it worked!
great find!
*side note* Now don't screw this one up for us Engadget!!!
works great, had to re apply desktop setting before it would work though
Beautiful
Using Skyfire as desktop, absolutely perfect. Nice find.
This is simply awesome, hope it doesn't get discovered and ruined!
Sorry for the stupid question, but how do I set my user agent to desktop?
Nevermind, got it!

Type about:debug into the stock browsers address bar, then click settings, some more options have been opened up. At the bottom of the list you will find user agent, set to desktop and enjoy Hulu, but be prepared to repeat this process after each time you close the browser...or you could use dolphin or xscope, which give you the option in default settings

works perfect on the Dolphin HD browser... the iPhoners at work are dying... I can see it all over there faces... they are watching me watch family guy... lol.... steve jobs has got to be pissed...
Thank again...
works great
No longer working for me
Was working fine... now I get a message saying that it looks like I am using a proxy. Anyone else having this issue?
still works for me. you have to re-apply the desktop agent settings then refresh.
Glad everyone likes, now just keep it between us lol.

Just use Skyfire browser or Dolphin and set it to desktop. Then you don't have to keep typing debug crap every time . Double tap full screen. Works really good.
How do you set the "User Agent" to desktop?
I'm new to this whole thing and I know this is a stupid question so go easy on me. How do you set the User Agent to desktop so I can watch Hulu on my phone? It's an HD2 and I have IE, Opera, and Skyfire.
I find the mobile versions of facebook and ebay (especially ebay...omfg....) to be unbearbly...bad.

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?

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?

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??
[Q] Is there a way to "force" desktop view in browser (rather than mobile view)?
Some websites show up as the mobile site, with no option to go to the full version.
http://www.newyorker.com is one. This is one of the main reason I bought the dang thing.
Any solutions that anybody knows of?
Thanks for any advice.
Later!
search and you will find wonderful things.
Maybe in the development forum there is something about this?
And if he searched and did not find anything, should he not post here?
type in your browser:
about:debug
hit enter
go into browser settings, debug, UAstring
then you can select android or desktop or iphone or ipad....the last two seem blasphemous tho..
and btw its not permanent.. if you restart or somehow close your browser you'll have to do it again.. I'm still looking for a permanent fix...

Well, it'd be hard not to, since there are 5 threads in the xom boards about it.
I gave him the answer either way.

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 can't seem to figure out how to turn off mobile websites. I can't stand it I need full websites.
Also is there a way to put an actual fm radio on here so it doesn't use data?

Look up how to change your user agent for the web thing.
Short answer for the FM radio is no.
Sorry.

Open your browser and type in about:debug and hit go.
Then hit the menu button and select "settings".
Scroll down to the bottom where it says "User Agent" and tap that, selecting Android, Desktop, or iPhone.
Still wont work for some websites. Check trigger errors in the debug output for more information.

I may try that but I downloaded opera and set it as default and I actually like it. so may just stick with it.
Skyfire browser also gives you the option to switch between Android (mobile websites) and Desktop (full websites).

Most sites also give you the option to switch to full... You'll usually find that at the bottom.

thats how i usually do it, some sites have that option at the bottom.
i thought i remember somewhere an app maybe that will allow the websites to be viewed in full, but cant remember where.
I know when i tether my laptop to my cell, i use an app that changes from full into mobile view, so it dont use so much data.
good luck.

Depends on the browser. Opera, Dolphin HD browser and Skyfire allow agent switching. On my Opera, with the agent set to Desktop everything is like my laptop............I hate sites in mobile mode !! I used all the above browsers and the latest Opera has stuck with me. Dolphin is also great, but Skyfire is a little iffy for my tastes. Haven't used Firefox too much.
My 2 cents.
EDIT : Oh yeah, I remember why i like Opera..........Adobe Flash rendering in Opera is very good..........I watch entire live sports events with no hiccups.
