I'm wondering if someone can give me the default settings for the internet tab header? Mine was branded by Vodafone, but I'd like the default "Launch Browser" image. (big pic of a glowing globe dealie)

Same problem here, PIE now default after trying to install skyfire (before finding out theat it was not compatible )
Have used the search option in Opera:config and searched for favourite and browser etc etc and cannot find any options to set Opera back to default.
Anyone else have any suggestions?

reinstating Opera Mobile as a default browser
Tested and works as a charm
COPYASTE from http://discuss.pocketnow.com/showthread.php?t=25285
"You can actually reinstate Opera Mobile as the default browser (PIE would have been made the default browser if you had installed another browser such as Skyfire or Iris, and uninstalled them subsequently).
Launch Opera Mobile manually via Start Menu > Programs. In the address bar, enter "opera:config" and go to the page. The "Preferences Editor" page will be shown. Scroll down until you see "Install". Tap on it to expand the section. Enable the tickbox for "Browser First Time Launch", then tap "Save".
You have now reinstated Opera Mobile as the default browser.

Joon Suan"
Ahhh Now I understand!!! Use Opera Always=Default
I've have been frustrated that Opera only appeared when I used the TF3d Browser interface but if I clicked on a link in email it would launch PIE (worthless in current interation -IMHO)... now using this tip when I click on a link in email it uses Opera -- Life is now good and I can die a happy man!
On the Pure, the default page when you click "Launch Web Browser" is att.net. How do I change this? Also, is there a way to change the "Add a new Push page" to just a regular bookmark? Thanks.
I could be wrong, but isn't there an option for select bookmark at the top of the page? If not, then you could just type in the address. It automatically launches att.net, just change your homepage to google and press the home button right after you launch it.
I have changed my home page on Opera to something else, however, I would like to avoid having to launch the web browser through the TouchFlo tab, and then having to interrupt the loading of a super heavy page by inmediately clicking the home page button. I would prefer to just click the "Launch Web Browser" page on go directly to my home page (yahoo mobile).
Here is how to set the default homepage in Internet Explorer:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\AboutURLs]
"home"="http://www.google.com"
There should be a .xml file in "\Application Data\Manila" that you can edit the "Launch browser" address, as well as add & remove other shortcuts.
This was the case on my Touch Diamond with TouchFlo 2.1
I was wondering, is there a way to view site as they are in a computer?
for example getting into the "real" youtube.com instead of m.youtube.com or mobile.youtube.com
cheers
yes you can. depending on which version of android you are running these steps may be slightly different
on 2.2, in the browser
hit menu --> more --> settings
under settings look for "user agent" select it, then select Desktop (should be set to android)
this will now load pages as if you were surfing from your desktop.
on older android it may be called "view settings" or "page settings" under settings... but i cant remember...
just look under your browser settings and you will find it
thanks
that's what I was looking for
Hi all,
I am using Virtuous Galaxy v1.0.5 ROM on my Acer Iconia A500. And when I went to some websites,I found they were always in mobile mode. I think it's about the Browser's UserAgent.I have ever seen
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=652984
and I have ever rework the file:
/data/data/com.android.browser/shared_prefs/com.android.browser_preferences.xml
but I think it doesn't work. (Maybe I did the above-mentioned step in wrong way)
Can you help me?
And I want to use HTML5 to watch videos. Can I use the Browser with the ROM to do this? Should I change my UserAgent to "IPad"?
P.S.: I'm a Chinese student. Maybe my English has some mistakes.Please accept my apology for the inconvenience this matter have give you.
First, wrong section. All questions should go to the Q&A forum for the Iconia Tab.
Getting down to business, have you tried changing the User Agent String in the stock browser settings to Desktop? It is in settings in the Advanced tab.
First thanks for your advice.I'm stupid.I'll go to the Q&A forum to ask questions.
But I can't Found the UAString Settings in the Advanced tab.
There is my screenshots
………………Oh
Sorry,The website said:"To prevent spam to the forums, ALL new users are not permitted to post outside links in their messages."
So,I cannot show you my screenshots
Maybe,I download a wrong version? I don't know.
What should I do ？
Do you have any other ways to change UA? For example,rework any ",xml" files
Or can you give me your Browser's APK installation package?
what? No one help me?
You should really try what monkeychef said. The option is there. (under pageview or something) set it to desktop.
If you are using the stock browser that came with the tablet then the user settings are not avalible you will have to do the following to dissable the moblie web sites and turn on desktop websites.
1. Open the Android Honeycomb browser on your tablet.
2. In the address bar, type: about:debug and press enter.
3. Now open the browser's settings by tapping the icon in the very top-right corner of your screen (it looks like four horizontal lines) and selecting "Settings" from the drop-down menu that appears.
4. On the left side of the screen, tap the section labeled "Debug."
5. On the right side of the screen, tap the item labeled "UAString," then select "Desktop."
6. Press the back button (in the very bottom-left corner of your screen) to exit the browser's settings.
7. In the browser's address bar, type: about:debug once more; this will disable debugging mode and return the browser to its normal state.
Now on rooted tablets with non stock browsers the setting should be right in the browesers settings page. I know my stock browser does not have them I had to install a third party browser I use dolphin hd.
Hope this helps if so please remeber to click my thanks button.
Really thanks
Actually, in my stock browser, if I go to settings and then Advanced, I've got a "View Mode" option which is by default "Tablet", changing that to "Desktop", changes the useragent to seem like a Desktop.
For example, if you go to facebook normally I would see the mobile page, but changing the setting like above, I see the normal Desktop version of the site.
Hope this helps.
Hi everyone,
Can some one plzz send me modded browser apk (unlimited tabs & useragent select) for JVU. It will be very helpful. Tnx in advance.
Same here...
...also looking for the same. Tx.
Just write: about:useragent in the tab and hit go/enter
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium
TX for about:useragent.
Any thing similar for unlimited tabs
Yes, thanks for the about:useragent. In my searching around the net and XDA, although this doesn't help the tabbed browsing thing yet for JVU, I did find this as well :
about:debug
then "enter".
It doesn't seem to do anything until you go into the settings menu. It gives a bunch more options in the settings menu. I set "Normal Rendering" to checked at the bottom, and also set plugins to "Always load" and most pages seem to render as desktop now by default.
