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??

[Q] Need help with some codes for a URL launcher app

I have a URL launcher app and need help with some codes..
Someone made for me a URL launcher application. This app makes a web page is run inside of the app window, it dosent launch the defult browser.
But the problem is.. downloads do not work inside of this app... It only works when the website is running in the full browser,,, But I dont want that.. I want the download to be supported inside of this app.
Is there any html codes or scrip that i can use in my web page to make it launch the original browser from the phone, so any files can be download it in the phone..?
This is importan because I want to run a website to host my documents , apps and my files.
I don't want to use a URL launcher application that calls the defult browser or launch the defult browser, because everyone will know the url address from my website..
In the bottom of this post is the link to download my app..
Please someone letme know how can I make it to support download in this app.
I hope there is a way to insert some type of code in my downloads web page , so everytime someone clicks the link, the code will call / launch the android browser so the download can be suported.
Here is the link of the app..
Please go to download shortcut and choose android shortcut for testing... You will see that the download dont work in this app frame... It only works in full android browser..
APP LINK:
http://latinomax.com/android/app/latinomax.apk

It would seem that this is just a browser bug. I have the same problem when trying to upload files from the default browser. I always need to use opera or dolphin to upload. If you want send me the url that ur trying to access and I will play with it from there. But don't expect much. I doubt it will work. But ill try.

I don't think is a browser bug because the app is not a web browser... I don't know how it works but sometype ob browser runs inside of the app, because you can see the website running inside and fits perfect.. the only problem is that it dosent support downloads....

Basically what happens is a small version of the browser runs inside the app. A webview is what its called. And they are pretty limited. So its possible in webview that maybe downloads are disabled.

internetbrowser only showing mobile versions

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 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.

[Q] Browser with Session Restore?

I have tried the stock Browser as well as Miren, Firefox Nightly, Opera, and others. Browser seems to have a session restore as long as it doesn't crash or the Transformer reboot. Firefox will show you what tabs were open before but cannot restore to the same page position as when the browser was closed like the normal Firefox does. Is there any browser that has session restore that works the same as the Desktop Firefox does with restoring all tabs and position?

Wow
Nothing? I was hoping someone knew of a browser that I didn't know about yet. Not even on an alternative market or currently alpha testing?

Lollipop Browser?

What browser is everyone using after the Lollipop upgrade? I was on Dolphin, but it's very laggy and no longer supports flash. Switched to Naked browser which is much smoother, but still no flash. Trying Puffin now, good flash, but a little laggy. Main reason for flash is almost no Facebook video will play without flash. Frustrating to have to turn on my PC to watch video.
Any other browser's any good?

If you get webpages that won't load after using adaway, that you feel shouldn't be blocked, you can add it to your whitelist.

Atlas

CM Browser. I had some issues with it on KK but it seems they fixed it now. It's fast, has a nice UI, a fullscreen mode, a home button and an exit button. That's pretty much everything I want/need.

I actively use adaway. It seems to block ads in apps and in Firefox and cm browser but not chrome.

Now I use lighting browser but I prefer aosp browser but it doesn't work on lollipop.

Try javelin. It blocks ads natively and has material aspects

There's a "get flash" guide thread in these n5 forums. Forget if its general or q&a.

I'm using Firefox. Is it just me or its actually slow compared to Chrome. It won't open links that readily load on Chrome.

I was a Firefox guy for the longest time, synced between my laptop, tablet and phone. But I've had it, I always put up with the lack of speed but it's just so frustrating. I can't believe reviews of Firefox when they call it fast.
I switched everything over to Chrome. The address bar isn't nearly as good as predicting what website you want compared to Firefox but it's much, much faster and I welcome that.

There's only one flash apk. Flash is unsupported on android. There will never be a new version again. We must always try to modify the ICS version.
Who knows if it will work on lollipop. I dont even think dolphin works on lollipop. Anyway, there is one apk and one guide only. If you know about it already. Then you know as much as everyone else

if you use data compression, adaway will not work. data compression makes chrome go through a different web server, thus, adaway does not block ads. opt out of compression in chrome and ads will be blocked.
