how come on my phone I can't post on some forums like XDA and others? I have javascript enabled. The pages look normal, but there are no new thread buttons.
umm just to make sure, you are logged into those forums that you want to post on right?
disable mobile browsing or install xda app.

That was like the Evo while back. Try checkin the main menu or the settings for the browser.. They always have a option for it..
I tried this and set it to desktop
Type about:debug in the browser url box
go to 'Settings'
go to 'Debug'
Select UAString, and then check the 'Desktop' option
---
but I still can't post on forums I went to XDA site and signed in. I clicked general discussion and now I can't even click anything. Can't click general, questions and answers, etc. I refresh page 3 times, can't click any of them.
I tried my other site and I am logged in on that site, but I can't log out. I can't make new threads.

Are you rooted?
wich launcher are u using?
I am rooted but on the stock ROM using the default browser.
still need help
Umm.. can you post or create a thread on your PC? And did you tried using some other browser then your Default one?
And try resetting your browser to Default and Clear History, Cache, Cookies, and just give it a try.
If doesn't help, post back!

lol all my other posts are from PC.
I reset cache, cookies, and history on my phone's stock browser.
I was able to log onto XDA and sign and get to this section. There was a button for forum tools and in there was post new thread.
The other forum I am trying to post on does not have a forum tools button. I can login, but can't log out. I cannot reply and cannot post.
is it to do with my browser? I think other android users can do it.
do I need a special app for all forums to work properly?
What exactly is the xda app?
Ok, first off within your phones browser hit your menu button, find settings, and search through them with a fine tooth comb looking for anything that says mobile browsing with a check box or similar setting which would allow you to change between standard and mobile.
You can search the market for "xda" and either install the premium app for 1.49 and support our site, or use the free app. Then once installed just login and youre all set to browse and post via the app.

[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.

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 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.
Woke up this morning and switched from WIFI to my normal Simple Mobile account just before leaving the house for work. All of a sudden I cannot get online, I can use the FB ap, Gmail, Maps, but when I open either Dolphin, or Browser, I get the following error:

internal error access is not allowed for this user agent in www.google.com/

Thats cool, just got this one...is it the same for you? "update-cm-9.0.0-RC0-selfKANG1-G2x-signed.zip"
yeah....but the gapps are somewhere on rootwiki with face unlock thing !!
To get browser to work in CM9 with mobile data you have to press menu and select request desktop site.
You welcome! It has something to do with the internal settings of the stock browser. Also an alternative to this is to download an alternate browser such as dolfin browser or opera

So i'm looking for the Android 4.0 google ap pack, right? I hope simple mobile will work with 4.0, not sure why it wouldnt...but I guess I will find out!
I also found the camera fix for 4.0, so once i find the google aps, i'm ready to flash a little later on.
I think i just found them, recommends me a specific .apk for CM9. downloading now.
thanks for the help!

This isn't a SERVICE issue. It's your phone.
I used to have the same thing on another phone running CM7.
It's because your user agent in android is f'ked up.
Try this:
MORE -> Settings -> scoll all the way down to "Select User Agent"
Try other user agent setting other than Android, and you should connect.
Try IE6, iphone, etc...
The only fix is to install a correct user agent for android.
I've been searching all over for a fix to: "access is not allowed for this user agent." My stock browser has no settings to change user agent. Switching to iphone user agent was a workaround in the Dolphin browser settings, BUT...
With great joy I have discovered that problem was my Proxy entry in my Simple Mobile APN. Once I removed the proxy info, the user agent problem was solved!
Strange, because a few months ago the proxy was what I needed to connect, but now it was just causing problems.
I should look at dates on old posts more often.... delete this.
uhm... i can't find search in the upper right anymore, i mean the "search thread" tool?
do you know where to find/it did go?

Wondering the same thing here. Wanted to "search this forum". Guess they moved it to the app instead of copying it.

Not a very good option for someone who is having problems with there phone/device. I'm glad I checked here I though I thought they had dissabled it for me because I was under the 10 post limit
Iether way it is still missing for me as well. I also noticed that the advanced search is not allowed for me either... I end up with the welcome new user you need 10 helpfull posts to use this feature page.
Did they up the restrictions for "new users"?
thats an excellent question. I salute you for being different and actually asking it, rather than ignoring it like most of us.
Worst case scenario :
Use the xda app on ur PC via android emulator

Same result here. I'm unable to search by http://forum.xda-developers.com/search.php or by clicking the wheel cog icon in the top header bar (Advanced Search). The regular search bar at the top just gives generic non forum results.
Can someone tell me how one normally limits a search to a specific forum? Should that be an option in the "Forum Tools" drop down menu?

No, the search option is right next to the "Forum Tools" button you said before, on the left side. Or at least, it should be there..
Nothing at the moment, no tools for searching the forum. Someone told us to use the xda app on android but afaik its search function ain't working at all.
Now it is back, for me at least, and from work where I use IE8.
I'll see from home (Chrome)...

Maybe your network connection become unstable?
I have this problem when my Internet connection is being overtaxed - too slow so it times out trying to load the whole page. I it can also be do to browser plug-ins blocking elements (as per another thread).

I recommend just refreshing the page 2-3 times. You can delete browser cache (not history) and cookies.

Looks to me like the sites CSS file isnt being downloaded, so yes its likely down to a over stretched or slow internet connection.
Normally refreshing a couple of times should fix it

It may help to search online about why your browser is functioning slowly. Also try reinstalling your browser. It may work. Have you tried deleting browser cache and cookies? Try searching how to delete them, do it and see if it works as I think that should solve your problem.
Remember a search engine is your friend. You can solve anything through it.
I have this problem only in XDA forum.,and my internet connection is fine.
I also try to reload the page and clean cache many times,but still can't fix it.
I use the internet with my mobile,and it's woke! but when i change back to the cable net and the problem back , too.
Finally as post-mortem says just use the Quick Style Chooser , and the normal page is back.
Where can i find that?
