Is there a way through the settings of the phone to turn this off and ALWAYS get the full version of a website?

Yes. Install Dolphin HD. Then install an add-on called Dolphin Desktop Toggles. It makes it very easy to switch btwn mobile and desktop. I use it all the time.
In reference to your question, no. With the stock browser you aren't able to change between the mobile and full versions of websites.
Like Matt suggested, you could consider using another browser whether it be dolphin, xscope, opera, etc. and those have the ability to load either the mobile or desktop versions of website.
I just looked at my settings in my regular browser and there's the setting you can take the mobile view off and that let's you change to websites or the mobile version maybe not for every single websites but dose work for me

It's entirely possible with a slightly modded Browser.apk.

thanks so much, dolphin browser did it. I hope someone will implement a modded browser into their rom soon.

The technical way would be to change the useragent your mobile browser reports to websites. It's not particularly difficult to do on Opera and Firefox mobile (just change a string in the low-level config), but I'm not sure about Android's stock browser.
Could try "about:useragent" in the stock browser

well, i was about to slap you all. normally on android, you go to about:debug, which enables debug options in settings including uastring which would give you three options: android, iphone, and desktop (emulating firefox). but apparently on this samsung modified browser, this is missing... i remember this used to be the way you would watch hulu on your phone.

Today Opera released third beta version of their browser - Opera Mobile 10. One of the new features added in this release is smartphone support, finally!
You can download it here: Link (remember to choose "Keypad phones" option)
Some screenshots:

Its far less than perfect.
Stability is inferior to ie mobile in some cases.
Flash doesn't work on WM standard.
Zoom controls are non-existant.
But it renders fast (not as fast as skyfire though) and here is the big one -
Is the first browser that I know of on the smartphone platform (native, mini doesn't count) that has tabbed browsing...
The default font size is too small.
To rectify follow these steps:
1) type about:config in the address bar in a tab
2) Navigate down to user prefs and click
3) Search for minimum font size. This was 0 on my phone (a samsung Jack)
4) Change it to something between 10-15. I use 13
Now you should be able to leave zoom at 100% (thus preserving the rendering accuracy) and still be able to read text.
Note that this seems to work for me and the sites I frequent. It's easy to mess up opera in about:config and that you might want a different combo of zoom level and minimum font size.
Cheers
Frooze my Phone tonight. lol pretty much right off the bat.
needs adobe flash on it
Nice apps, thanks
It's out in the market. Only for android 2.0++ unfortunately.
Look sleek and have tabbed browsing.
I absolutely love it. A must have really.
Version 2.0 of Dolphin HD has now been released.
Now in Dolphin Browser HD v2, they bring us new functional add-ons. Some wonderful add-ons which are in Firefox now could be used on Android Mobile phone. Thought it may not perfect enough, but it is definitely a big improvement. Here I want to recommend 2 add-ons, which I appreciate most.
Password Manager
Password Manager is an online password manager and Form Filler that makes our web browsing easier and more secure. It could save our passwords to let us login quickly. Input the account and password we want to save, and it will be preserved in our mobile phone with safe and convenience. When logging in, start up Password Manager to choose the relevant accounts to quick login instead of tedious manual input.
you could download it from here: http://bit.ly/c2kO08
Screen Cut
Screen-Cut permits screen capture of the screen displayed in front of you being: the web, Windows error, images or photograph. Anything being displayed onto our screen can be captured. Very simple tool does a very simple task. Cut out the entire webpage of the screen and save it as an image. Cut out easily anything that stands in front of you within your phone screen and in your SD card or share it as an attachment. Try it and see for yourself.

Here is the add-on request form of dolphin for researching users like what kind of add-ons.

Can someone answer me what a Torrent is?
Google is your friend.
Torrents are used for peer to peer sharing online and combined with a program such as bittorrent or utorrent you can download torrent files. you can find basically any program, video, or music hosted on torrent sites. be safe with the downloads, look for good comments and more seeds than leachers.

So using Android, what do you recommend for a complete noob to this process? And who should I talk to about starting to figure this out?
I've never heard of torrents to download for your phone... what are you trying to do?
Torrents are more for things like computer programs, games, movies, and music.
Was checking out the Android Market, and there was a program called Transdroid that caught my attention. Figured I better find out just what it was before I started messing with it. Sounds like its something that ties my phone into my computer, so will probably avoid it for now.
Thanks for the information!
I use tTorrent lite.
https://market.android.com/details?id=app-hu.tagsoft.ttorrent.lite
You could likewise install orbot and run thru tor network (a bit technical - but the option is there).
I use this formthe occasional download from my pad...
Hope this helps.

Torrent is a small file that contains data about various devices that has the file u want to download. It allows u to download the file through a torrent client.

I've been using an iPhone for a long time for one reason - Stanza Reader. By the looks of things, it might not get an update to make it compatible for iOS 5 so now, I'm reviewing my OS options. I've already found an ebook reader app on Android so just need to know what options are available for WP7. I know Kindle is available but I need something that is able to read side-loaded DRM-free ePub files. Any suggestions?
Try Freda.
Thanks for the recommendation! Don't have a WP7 device yet, but I'll definitely try that if/when I buy one.
You may try Freda in emulator...

Thanks. Didn't even know that an emulator was publicly available.
It is.. U can Download it at Microsoft.. Same place where u get application deployer..
I used to use freda & dropbox to transfer ebooks to wp7.
For those who can read Chinese, I recommend 书中圣 which can transfer ir ebooks via WiFi network..

or you can use overmedia. you can find it on the market, it's free.
Hi,
You can try "eBook Reader Plus - Your Free eBook Reader app". It's nice, with the search box on it you can find and download your favorite book in pdf format. There are nearly 10,000 books available in it right now, more are being added. With other essential features, the app is really so cool.
You can find it on Google Play or Google searching by the name.

There is this good program called QQ HD in the market, its Chinese chat program that takes after the desktop version..
Reason I am posting about it here is I use it a lot of work and for social here in China..but also this new Android version is killer.. its a model plenty of other apps could follow.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS50ZW5jZW50LmhkLnFxIl0.
Its got a handle on the sliding windows and multi functions with in itself so as to give it a multi tasking feel..
As you will see via the screen shots.. you can chat and listen to music or go to Video..
plus opens panels to see the social pages of your contacts.. kinda puts Facebook and Skypes app to shame

+1 Yes please haha. Looks amazing. So we just need a language port?
+2
What I really like is resource use.
It uses way less battery and data than any other chat program.
It's based on the old ICQ I used in the 90's
I'm sort of used to the language thing now. There's an English language version for windows, but not Android or Apple.
Yes, the copy paste function works well, so most of my conversations are in Chinese using Google or Bing as a translator..
Then most of the commands know now..
but a English version would be nice.. understanding that they are geared to the Chinese Market so I don't hold my breath for this too soon.
We are lucky to have the English PC version, but there seems to be times I have to resort to the Chinese version for video chat as it seems the English version is going through different servers and sometimes the bandwidth sucks..
But the use of PtoP for TV, music, social all in one makes for a nice hub if you are this region.
bit scary thinking about how many people are logged in on their servers if you take into account mobile and hardwired.
