I've searched the forums but haven't been able to find this. I'm coming from an iphone and so far loving the hd2 so much more, only gripe is i miss the way mobile safari renders mobile pages like gizmodo or engadget, it fills the whole screen and is much quicker than the desktop version. I've found the iphone's user agent string but in opera:config i don't see where to enter it. Anyone know how to do this or even if i'm going about it the wrong way? Any help would be appreciated, Thanks.
opera:config
user prefs (scroll past 'user agent')
Custom User Agent
Brilliant!! Thank you so much

I know you can change the user agent string with registry settings, but that requires a reboot to take effect. Anyone know of a way to change it dynamically, or even better yet, just for specific sites?
My bank now traps you if you're not using an "approved" browser and tells you that you can't log on. Setting the user agent to IE 5 fixes that, but then of course, many sites don't recognize you as a mobile device. Including PPC Thoughts. So then you're stuck with the standard version of that site.
Hi Carlos...
Did you ever resolve this dynamic PIE User-Agent issue?
I have a great need to do the same thing.
Need ability to dynamically change PIE User-Agent
based on which site is about to be accessed and
then, if need be, change it BACK to default
again on-the-fly.
Hi everyone,
I like to watch "Swisscom Mobile TV" (a swiss service) wich is only accessable for branded phones (like the htc magic).The nexus one isn't branded phone.
So i read on a forum that i have to change my default_user_agent in the "com.android.browser_preferences.xml" to the HTC magic one to make it work. But it doesn't work.
And finally, i read that i have to modify the browsersettings.java to make the change effective (http://github.com/Wysie/android_pac.../src/com/android/browser/BrowserSettings.java)
And i really don't know how to do this, if someone can help me?
And sorry for my bad english

Hello All,
Don't think this has come up before so sorry if it has. I'm hoping someone might have the original user agent as it is shown on a Telstra Diamond2 with factory ROM. Very annoying when things like Foxtel mobile and such fail because they expect only their phones to be used! I don't really want to access Foxtel but there are a few things every now and then that need the same user agent to access. If you have a factory Telstra ROM but don't know the user agent you can find out by visiting the whatsmyuseragent web site.
Thanks for any assistance.

Hello everyone, I wonder if there is another version of facebook.But I'm pretty sure he is not in.
I think everyone agrees with me that this version is totally horrible. Why Facebook is for Windows phone so poorly made? Compared to that of android or iphone! I am ready to create a group for those who are prepared to 0.5 dollars per person for the dévellopers trying to create a true version of facebook for windows phone like android and iphone! Personally i am ready to invest in another version of facebook
What do you think? Thank you everyone, I hope I was clear
Open Opera --> www.facebook.com
Why complain about a stupid app that is totally unnecessary?

that's your opinion, this post is dedicated to people who often uses facebook, and for these people, use opera + facebook.com is not terrible
there is a never version of the facebook app that is available, for free, from ms marketplace. It's versioned 1.2 as opposed to v1.1 that comes preinstalled but i do agree with the other posters, Use opera, but you may need to change the user agent string in the newer versions to get the full site instead of the mobile one (i certainly had to)

Then try touch.facebook.com or m.facebook.com
There is a facebook for everyone.
And yes, I use it quite often and, as you see, the facebook app misses some important options.
So simply add a shortcut in the Internet tab and everything is fine.

To change the Custom User Agent field in Opera's config.
Open Opera and goto the address bar
Enter opera:config (make sure there is no http etc)
Scroll down to User Prefs and open the section
Scroll down to Custom User Agent
Remove everything in the box and enter the following string:
HTC_HD2_T8585 Opera/9.7 (Windows NT 5.1; U; en)
Then scroll to the bottom of the list and there will be a save button, click it.
That works for me, I think the important part for whether its mobile or desktop version is in the brackets...
Another vote for touch.facebook.com

Thanks for the confirmation. My instinct told me to go back and check the "Leo Hints and Tips" thread to change it back from the Touch HD settings. So I was right. Funnily enough, the status box on the full FB website now works again!
Thanks.

Mine is actually set to make my phone look like it's running IE8 on windows 7. Works for me.

Aye, +1 for touch.facebook.com
Far, far better than the standard app. Just like the Android version I'm used to.
Hey, there's any way to get full web navigation? like in a desktop? there are a lot of pages that i can't see as a pc and I have to enter with anonymouse surf. I've tried to change skyfire or dolphin options but it keeps happening
The primary suggestion here will be to change your user-agent string. In fact there are several ways to do this, but it is not a complete solution. For example here is the user-agent string you would see right now from me if you were indeed a web server and I requested a page from my browser:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US) AppleWebKit/534.13 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/9.0.597.67 Safari/534.13
As you can see it includes a lot of information. It has what browser I am using, but it contains more too. Dolphin, Firefox Mobile ( was Fennec), and Skyfire only let you change the browser portion, and not the operating system. So it may look like you are using a desktop browser, but the actual operating system will still be apparent.
For a full breakdown of your user-agent string visit http://www.useragentstring.com/index.php
Try this on both your desktop and your phone and compare.
For example my mobile user-agent string is:
Mozilla/5.0 (Android; Linux armv7l; rv:2.0b8) Gecko/20101221 Firefox/4.0b8 Fennec/4.0b3
For some (VERY AMUSING) history read here: http://webaim.org/blog/user-agent-string-history/
Ok i've used about:useragent command in phone browser.. but now i don't know what to do hehe
Well, like I said. I think you can only change the browser portion and not the operating system. So it is not going to work if you want to actually see full desktop versions of the pages.
It is up to the web developer to create different pages based on who/what is visiting. Not everyone does, but the ones that go through the trouble of making separate pages for mobile would rather have it filter based on a small handful of operating systems then tracking every possible browser and version. So basically if your user-agent says you are using a mobile OS like iOS, Android, WinMo, WebOS, Symbian, Blackberry, etc . . . then you will be fed a mobile page.
