Question about the browser, this happens in 2 of the 3 roms I've used. i choose to disable mobile view, it doesn't make the transition. Still stays on mobile view. Anyone else?
Maybe try another browser

What Rom are you running?
I'm running CM7 7.1.0 and I've never had a problem switching views with Opera. Kind of a pain to go into settings-advanced-select desktop but it always works.

I don't use CM7, but you can try this. Open Opera, go into settings, and see if you can change the UA String. If you can set it to Desktop, instead of Mobile.

In stock Browser you can type "about:debugging" into the address bar and hit enter. Then go into the Browser settings and there should be a debug menu which will allow you to change the UA Agent to Desktop.

Hey guys, I've searched for this, and can't seem to find exactly what I'm looking for. I used to own an HTC HD2 with the stock WM6.5, and what I loved about its web browser is that after pinch-to-zooming any web text, the text would automatically re-fit itself to the borders of the screen. However, on my Nexus One and my new Nexus S I've noticed that no matter what I do, the only way to actually get the text to fit nicely on the page is to either double tap the screen (which decides its own level of zoom) or to use the little zoom +/- buttons. Is there any way that I can have the simplicity of pinch to zooming with having the text auto-fit itself to the page? Thanks.
actually the browser does the same thing you are asking. there are a few methods.
first, load any random webpage, double tap, and yes it zooms in to default level and re-flows the text.
but, just use pinch to zoom, go to your desired level, then double tap that text, and it will re-flow the text at that specific zoom level to the edges of the screen. just like you want.
Thanks for the quick response. Indeed, I have been double tapping after pinch to zooming to get the text to auto-fit, but my question is if it's possible to have the text auto-fit immediatley after pinch-to-zoom without the additional step of double tapping. Yes, it's only one extra step, but just curious if there's any way around it.

Where in dolphin settings would I find the appropriate setting? Thanks in advance!
Settings, then advanced. Then you have 2 settings, open in overview and auto fit to page. In your case untick open in overview and check fit to page.

Use Skyfire or Opera Mobile 11.
You can even put in custom user agent on the latter.

+1 with dolphin HD
Jwb
Same here, no issues at all with the browser using Dolphin and setting desktop. Only downside was some pixelation when my wifi got too congested. The browser version is more functional than the app so I'm not sure what the benefit would even be at this point.

How do you change the default to "Desktop" on the Xoom? I was on HBO Go's site and went into the native browser settings and didn't see a spot to change it.

Type this in your browser:
Code:
about:browser
Your browser will appear to do nothing but it activated extra settings options in the setting menu.
Go to settings in your browser. Then go to "Debug", then "UAString", then select "Desktop".
You have to do this or else hbo will think you are one a phone and redirect you to their mobile site.
My problem with the browser is that it's somewhat less responsive and is not very user friendly when you are trying to look through the movie collection. The app version is very user friendly as mobile devices were in mind when they created it.
about:debug and then go into the setting and change the UA settings to desktop and your all set but you have to do it everytime you close the browser
anyone else notice choppy playback when using the browser (both stock and dolphin hd)? I just tried it for a tv show and a movie and the playback would go from great to choppy. The wifi I'm connected to is high bandwidth and shouldn't be clogging it.

The command should be:

about:debug
That did work, however. Thanks!
Pretty sure this hasn't been posted yet, but Firefox 10 has just been released for Android, and it is in my mind close to the perfect browser.
I've been dying for an Android browser that is GPU accelerated like Opera and Dolphin, but has scrolling constraints in the vertical plane. Meaning if I zoom in and flick to scroll down, then it doesn't scroll minutely left or right. Firefox 10 does this perfectly. It's also very fast now and on par with Opera/Dolphin.
Also, unlike Opera, it doesn't spaz out when you change the LCD density to 240 and change the interface to tablet mode that makes it impossible to use the menus.
Only small things, but they were driving me crazy on Opera Mobile and I'm now happy there's a solution.
If you haven't already, I'd suggest giving it a lash.
Also, now it starts instantly, has support for add-ons and it synchronizes nicely (bookmarks, history and some settings) with the desktop version. And the logo is a classic.
It's "good" enough i guess, but still no flash. It's a no go for me.

True, I forgot to mention no flash. I don't use flash at all so it was not a consideration but many others probably do, so thanks for the reminder. Youtube videos still play embedded properly though for anyone wondering.
its definitely doing great even for the mac too
Here's Firefox 11 alpha 2 Aurora WITH flash support and much more.

Cheers LM, I'll check it out.
Is there a way to set the user agent so that one can decide to brows as desktop and not as mobile, like in dolphin one can do?

Go into Settings, Addon tab, then search and install "Phony" addon. After the browser reboot. In the main Settings menu should have option to change user agents.
Don't forget you can also run the bleeding edge nightlies alongside the other versions.
Its totally different to v10
what about removing status bar?
Just found it - type in "full screen" in the add-ons search..... doh!
i use Firefox 11 alpha 2 Aurora and it nice i think
I like the Chrome Beta better

Flash will soon be terminated and support allready stopped (no updates anymore), html5 is the future
interface is nice and useable on 3g and wifi. but if ur on a slow connection and want pages loading with lower data usage, opera is still the one. (gprs/edge)
Hi to you all.
I am not using the default browser or the default calendar.
However, each time I open an internet link it asks me which browser to use and if it is punctual or permanent.
When I select permanent it directs me towards settings/general/applications by default.
When I go there, I only find the choice between Touchwiz and Nova my launcher, nothing on browser choice (or Calendar for which I have same issue): no other menu...
Could someone advise where I got it wrong?
Thanks a lot

usually if should ask which app to use and give a choice of always or just once. What country is yours from? maybe it is a regional thing.
