This are the stupid things that HAD to be in the android intro icon on Froyo!!!
Stick it or delete thread...
Thankxxxx
This is not new, its been like this before froyo.
Before Froyo I had an option in the preferences panel of the browser, and I didn't have to type "about:debug"...

You were probably using Cyanogen or some other cooked ROM, the older stock didn't have this in the default menu either.

There's a dedicated option to switch mobile view on and off.
have you tried about:debug
about:config gives me a white screen
about:debug gives me my homepage which is google
Once you type the appropriate command in the address bar hit the menu button > settings> then scroll down to UAS string.
You will not get any kind of notification that you did anything in the address bar after hitting enter.
Deja vu!

Crap, this is it, I was thinking of Firefox!
My girlfriend just got the epic for Sprint and when she uses the browser (default browser) all the pages and sites are in mobile view. I went to settings to change it for her but I cant find the correct setting to fix it. Can someone help?
Open the browser then type in about:debug and hit enter. It wont do anything after hitting enter but if you go into options you will now have a option to change the UAString from mobile to desktop. The option is at the bottom of the option list.

This is great. Thank you so much! I will apply the change for her tomorrow when I see her. Again thank you!

I did the changes and they work but they aren't permanent. How do I make the desktop browser view stay?
Is it possible to change the default search engine in the stock browser, not to bing or yahoo, but to something like duckduckgo.com
Looked at about:debug and about:config but couldn't find anything to change keyword.url

In the browsers address bar, type
about:debug
And hit go, it'll look like it's not done anything, but if you press
menu > more > settings
They'll be a load of new options and one of those is the search engine.

Thanks, but as stated in op I have already looked at that option, it only gives you four options.
I was thinking more about how to change to a personal search engine like duckduckgo.com
I think it should be more in the about:config settings
Sorry, my tapatalk was playing up and only showed me the first paragraph of your post.

I'd love to get scroogle results if there is a way?
HOWTO:
open stock browser, input 'about:debug' in address, go/return.
press menu->more, scroll to bottom, switch useragent.
I'w tried your method and I'm guessing you mean "menubutton - more - settings" then scroll to the bottom?
There is no "useragent" whatsoever for me there
Using leaked rom 2.3.4

I guess he means "Setting > More" and scroll to the bottom.
Can't test since I don't have the stock though.
About:useragent will do the trick also
Hello,
I remember there was a solution how to convert standard Acer browser from mobile to regular, but cannot find that.
Anybody helps?
Thank you very much.

IIRC there is a button to click "Desktop Sites" within Browser in the settings. I generally just use Firefox.
Sorry if I'm mistaken.

Actually found the proper way of doing it!
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.

Excuse my ignorance, but how does this differ from just touching the menu tab in the top right corner, settings,advanced, viewing mode, & selecting desktop?
I don't have that in the settings on ICS...

It's even easier in ICS. Open Browser, then when you press the menu button on the top right, one of the options is "Request Desktop Site". When you click it, it will permanently resolve itself as a non-mobile browser to all sites until you return to the menu and click the option again.

The above for me is only slightly true. Some sites i visit will reset this. I Found myself going back in there several times yesterday and toggling this back to desktop.Not sure if its just me experiencing this. But still Its not like its a complicated difficult thing to do.

This shows how to gain access to the Android Browsers debugging, which has more options than the standard options. The UA string is the user agent string websites look for when determining which website to send you to, desktop or mobile. Changing that setting allows you to permanently set the browser to desktop mode.
This trick also works on ICS and is more permanent than clicking "Request desktop site"
If running ICS, try using ICS Browser+. Contains all the goodness of the ICS browser, but let's you set the viewing mode to tablet or desktop. Nice!
Chrome Beta runs desktop versions usually, unless there's a site that blocks it.
i now default to ICS browser+ it's pretty great.
