Websites that need flash with a green arrow?

I have Vegan 5.1 and downloaded Adobe flash and every website i go to has a blank box with a green arrow in the box. Now when I click on the green arrow the video appears and I can play it and get sound....just wondering if there is a way that the videos or even some of the other stuff on the websites that require flash will just load normally with the page? of will i always have to click on that green arrow? not that it is a big deal to be honest just didn't know if I did something wrong or if it could be added in the next vegan update
thanks in advance
Which browser? That usually means the browser is configured for "on-demand" flash.

While you are in the settings you might also want to set the user agent as desktop or something similar so it loads the normal webpages. It is probably set to Android and that will make it load mostly mobile sites.

[Q] Dumb Q: how to get "home" on stock browser?

This is gonna sound dumb but is there a "home" button that I don't see on the stock browser???
How do i get "home" after surfing a bunch of pages?
The only one I know of is on the top right of the Bookmarks screen
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using XDA Premium App
Can't you open a new tab, and that is your homepage? Thats what I do.
thank you both for those suggestions, they will work for me.
alternatively, from from the quick menu via the sides, hit the bookmark and it'll be on the upper right of the bookmark screen

yes, enable the quick access menu from the Settings of the stock browser. That will give you buttons like: forward&back&reload, bookmarks, new tab, etc. Basically if you open a new tab that will have your home page.

I thought the first thing everbody did when they got their transformer was to install another browser

Why? The stock browser is as good as (as bad as?) any other browser.

That is true enough, but I have found that no matter what browser I try, I always go back to the stock one.
Just my 2 cents,

I just wish there was an ad-blockling plug-in for it.
For all firefox mobile's problems with flash support and appalling image quality the ability to surf without annoying ads everywhere is tempting...

Yea, especially from this site, I guess that is what the xda premium app is for. I have a hell of a time trying to close the ads that pop up on my transformer when browsing this site through the browser.
not to hijack this thread, but i find i cant use the search box in this forum. I click it, but i cant type on it.

[Q] Browsers pet peeve.

Why do browsers developers in Android make the title bar scrollable with the actual page?
This means that the input box disappears once we start scrolling down and that one has to scroll all the way back to the top to input a new web address.
I checked the settings in both the stock browser and Dolphin, to no avail...Am I missing something?

Try ICS Browser + It is basically the stock browser with some extras, and It has a setting to show the navigation bar using 'short fling down'. It's the browser I seem to keep coming back to.

Probably to provide more screen space. You can use Firefox/Firefox Beta/Aurora if you like. Aurora is the only one with Flash support for tablets, but it's buggy support (expect crashes). Otherwise I like Beta and Aurora.

Don't have to scroll to the top at all, just touch the tab and it will bring up the input bar wherever in the page you are.

Excellent suggestion! :good:
Love the ability to auto-switch to full screen once the page is loaded and the possibility of enabling "side sliding" control pads.

Desktop View of Websites in Stock Browser

I'm sorry if this question is already asked, I've searched this forum, but couldn't find it.
My question is, is there any way/settings through which we can make stock browser to automatically load Desktop View of websites when we open them? I've checked stock browser's settings, but couldn't find anything related to this
Does anyone have idea about it?
Thanks in advance
Regards
"Open the Android web browser. In the address bar enter 'about:debug' where you would normally enter a URL and hit enter or Go. Be sure to erase the 'http://www.' that the browser likes to leave in the address bar for you. No page will load and you may or may not get a pop-up message 'Debug mode'. But if you now go to Menu > More > Settings in the browser and scroll to the bottom of the list, you should see a new group of options under the 'Debug' heading. The bottom setting is 'UAString' and if selected will give you the option of enabling your browser to identify itself as Android, Desktop or iPhone. Results after making this switch have been mixed, but go ahead and give it a try if you have a need to. I'm not sure what the other options do, so use at your own risk."

In address bar type: about:useragent
@NZ JOHN
Pretty interesting. But there is no such option. I used to type: 'about:useragent' and then there is a pop up screen to switch between Desktop, Android, etc..

Thanks for your reply. I've tried it and a new group of settings "Debug" does appear. But still unfortunately there's apparently no option of "UAString" in it
The last option is some "MultiWin3D", which is unchecked.

Oh great! Thank you very much. This option has worked for me. :good:
But will I've to do every time I open the stock browser or is this setting (Desktop View) has become a default setting?

Thank you!
Yeah it is working, but still when I open engadget, it is open in mobile view
But working with many other websites (which I regularly use).
And one more thing which I've noticed, that every time I open the stock browser, I've to set the default view to "Desktop" by going to about:useragent. It would have been even better if the browser had remembered this setting (like it is in dolphin browser).
I made mod with changed User Agent permament (ofc we can use about:useragent to change for android UA (ex. Galaxy S)
Download for:
HoloBean
Kyrillos' ROM
stock
I use UA from Chrome
Code:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.2; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.17 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/24.0.1312.56 Safari/537.17
Thanks again.
But what will these softwares do? I am not an expert with android, so excuse me for my ignorance about it.
Actually when i change the useragent to desktop, it works fine, open desktop view of websites. But when i close the browser and open it again after sometime, I need to change the UA again, otherwise it opens the mobile view of websites.

You must flash from recovery .zip from previous post if you want permament effect.

Okay. I think it wud require a root?
But my phone is not rooted.
Anyway i think i shd wait for the JB update to this phone, JB' stock browser might give this option of viewing the desktop version, and that setting remain there permanent.

You can use other browser. Boat, Dolphin both are very good browser with option to change UA.

[Samsung Internet] URL Bar to the bottom?

Hey Community, hope this will be a beautiful day for us.
My question is, is it possible to move the URL Bar to the bottom of the browser like it can be done with chrome?
Or is there any hidden feature menu as it is in e.g. Firefox with about:config?
Thanks for any suggestions
Nope.
And now ?
They should add this it would be great addition.

just tell this as feedback in the playstore and in the samsung app store. You can also tell them your feedback in any samsung app over "contact us"
I don't understand why nobody likes the adressbar at the bottom. For me it's just innovative and ergonomic.. Hope they will change this

If you want to access the menus for devs similar to those in Chrome Browser. (chrome://urls/) You can type "internet://urls/" (without quotations!!!). There aren't a lot of Flags in the ,internet://flags/, webpage. To use debug settings. Similar to Chrome Browser, type "internet://debug/", you'll get a crash page then just tap the overflow menu (top-right) >Debug settings.
