I have a problem when setting up the user agent of the stock browser.
I used the method of typing about: debug and change android to desktop in setting
While it did not save and remain the same.
So, what can i do to set the user agent permanently?
This is I also have issues... How can we change user agent to "desktop" at stock browser?
I was hoping this would have been fixed in the jelly bean update but it seems not. Is there still no way to fix this?
I resolved finally...
Yes it's fixed in JB but it's not seen until you go to applications and clear all data. Then you will see the update.

Really!? I've rolled back to ICS as I have a 8010 and wanted to be ready for official release of JB for 8010.
So you just cleared data for the internet browser in settings? What was different?

You can now setup as desktop option in the browser.
Whilst we are talking about the default browser ~ have any of you had issues with the 'Bookmarks Tag' at the top right of the page.
Whenever I tap on it to open the bookmarks the browser freezes.

I really want to change the browser string to desktop, but every time I do the browser crashes when I try to back out of settings and then whenever I try to start the browser until I reset the browser. Has anyone else run into this problem and been able to fix it?

How are you getting to it? I'm assuming you mean the default Browser that comes with Android. I had the option on my Aria, but it's not on my Captivate.

Type about:config into the browser bar. It will look like nothing happened, but when you go to settings immediately after there are new options. I'm disappointed. I really want this to work.
I'm just not using the stock browser. I downloaded Opera mini and it gives me the ability to change that in the settings, and it seems much faster. It also has a better tab system.

It seems much faster because Opera uses their servers to load the page for you, so it allows them to optimize the site. Same thing for Skyfire.
Did you press "go" after entering about:config and then immediately go to settings?

Yeah I know how it works, I just find it an overall better user experience than the stock browser. I tried Skyfire and it seemed to slow down my entire phone, even when I wasn't using it so it got deleted.
I have the same problem. I did it by typing about:debug (not about:config). After that the browser started crashing (on start up) and I had to do a factory reset.

Sorry about that. I was replying to someone else. I could use opera, but I really like the native browser much better. It doesn't load pages as fast but I like the way it operates once the pages have loaded much better than opera mini. I have fast internet here, so that helps.
I just experienced this problem... Changed the string to desktop and I can no longer start the browser after that. Was almost ready to reset, but decided to finally root and play around. If anyone else is interested, this did allowed me to start the browser again (reset the settings):
adb shell
$ su
# cd /dbdata/databases
# mv com.android.browser com.android.browser-buggy
# mkdir com.android.browser

What "trick" is that? Were you able to use the browser in the desktop mode or it helped to make the browser work again?

Edited... It made the browser workable again, but no I did not try desktop mode again.
Same for me. Here's how I fixed the crashing;
Settings > applications > manage applications > web > clear data
Still can't get the setting to work.
I have tested this extensively, and every option on the debugging menu causes the browser to crash until app data is wiped. However, this issue is also on the vibrant, leading me to believe it will be fixed eventually by Samsung.

Flash 10.1 just became available in the market. seems to be final (probably being released with the flash summit going on right now. Checking out now!
Seems like it may have fixed a bug that would cause the browser to take forever to open once a page with flash was loaded. Sweet!
Not showing up for me. I have the Nexus One FRF91 fingerprint in my build.prop but it doesn't show when I search. Can someone post the APK?
I just received the update. So far so good.
Wth I just uninstalled Flash because I've never seen an update and it was too slow
is the browser a bit faster now?
No one's ripped this yet and uploaded...slow pokes...
I'm trying to update Flash for some reason....I even uninstalled and re-installedit but still no luck

I'm surprised it doesn't show for me. I have same fingerprint in build.prop as a Nexus one with latest 2.2. All other apps show up. Must be based off of some other property in the build.prop.
Please someone, upload the file...I want an updated Flash

Thanks. Just sent the link to my phone using C2P and it's downloading. Awesome
Thanks Dude
not sure if its due to the final version of the flash player but one thing that i noticed is that justin.tv videos play alot more fluid and thats over 3G
Changelog plzzz...installed and running mine
Why does the market claim Flash Player 10.1 is 4.25MB, yet after its installed Android says its 12.52MB?
It's an archive. Like a zip file. When you install, it gets decompressed. I'm sure that almost all of your apps take up more space than their .apk file.
Ok, just checked a few other apps and you're correct.
Personally, I would rather the market report the size after install rather than the compressed file size

You can set it so it only activates when there are flash objects so it doesn't slow down your browser...

Not on stock browser. You can use ICS Browser+.
On CM9 you can change the user agent string on stock browser.

I use the stock browser when i want a mobile site, but if I want the full version I use dolphin or chrome or opera. This is how i've done to work around

you can get it from the market if you dont know already... though from my experience the request desktop site still not permanent.. i might have missed something.. using dolphin hd now

It is permanent, but you have to go into settings and change it from there. Simply clicking the "request desktop site" does not save it.
Yahoo refuses to load the desktop page using Opera on my TF by default.
If I do a Google search using Opera & go to a link on the first page. When I try to go back Opera takes me back to main Google search page instead of back to the first page of my original search.
Opera frequently crashes too and I never had any of the issues before ICS.
Best work around I have found for stock browser is to request full site, then bookmark the site and just load from bookmark.

Hey guys,
I am using a stock browser (cause it's the only one that works smooth without crashing) and whever I shuffle a bit beetween different applications it happens to reset itself back to google, which is it's main page, which is annoying since I already launched a few pages on it before begining to shuffle and wanted to use them further on.
Do you know any solution to this?
(I am rooted with CleanRom Inheritance)

Yeah, i installed it while flashing cleanrom and recently I clicked on install now and did a reboot.
EDIT: In fact this issue regards also Kindle app, Polaris and Office Suite Pro. Every now and then they simply reset themselves to the previous state and I cant figure out why
Noone knows a solution? It begins to get really annoying
It's a long shot, but try fixing permissions using ROM Manager. Failing that, I would uninstall and reinstall the apps...
What do you mean by fixing permissions?
anachronis said:

What he's saying is download Rom Manager from the market, and in the app you're going to find a feature called "fixing permission"(look in backup current rom tab), this will make sure all the permissions are correct for your rom.
I can't see how fixing permissions will fix this. Normally you'll have force closes that that helps with.
In this case it almose sounds like browser2ram is either recaching when it shouldn't or something else but that doesn't explain all the behaviour.
I'd reflash the rom without B2R first and see if that makes a difference.
I can reproduce this. Settings "background process limit" to "no background processes", after starting the browser and then using another app, the browser goes back to the start page. Using Browser2RAM at least, but that should not make a difference here.
Generally, when the browser's process is killed, its unsaved state is lost. Apparently the stock browser does not store its state on disk.

UPDATE: "Band-aid" ---> I did tested, very weird but work for now but you have to turn off the "2-step verification" to make it work without get into that stupid black webpage and you can get in your own account. <--- "Band-aid" for now... But we know we do not like to turn off the "2-step verification"... so somehow I need to know how to replace that browser with push in the ADB???
UPDATE: I have been trying replaced the browser.apk to newly updated browser.apk in /system/app and it's work but still having problem with "black website" but when I started to check google... and I saw some of numbers and snows on that page but still black on the page...
UPDATE: I having been not able to fix it also I found out very weird is when you get in Gmail (apps) and you'll notice that some area is black too... I think it's run with that browser... That made me feel sad and feel like new ROM isn't worth to me... But I'll try my best to stay with it

Almost all 4.4 Custom roms of older devices has Black boxes problems, this bug is a breakage in the new chromium based webkit and is in any app that makes use of it. The chrome browser works fine as a replacement. You need to modify the rom to fix this but i don't recommend this, you should wait till the developer fix it.
