Hello,
Does anyone know of a way to fake the user agent string the browser gives to websites?
I ask because there are some websites (most) I would rather not see the mobile version of the site. While some will give the 'view Full site' option lots dont.
Thanks
in the addess bar: about:debug
Then goto the broswer settings, at the bottom you'll find UAString
Thats great, thanks a lot
This question has been asked several times in the last few days. Please search before posting, thanks.

Could someone be so kind as to provide me with the url of the page that allows me to view how much data / how many minutes I've used from my callplan, please? I intended on noting it down before applying the Modaco ROM but in all the excitement I forgot to do so.
Thanks.

When using the web browser press the menu key>more>settings to set it as your homepage.
Nice one, thanks very much.
if you enter: http://wap.orange.co.uk/r/youraccount/ it should come up with the goods
Cheers buddy, the link I was given earlier got me there but thanks for your precision!
I am in the UK, the regional settings are (obviously) set to UK and English language, I use O2, but every time I do a search on Opera, I get a list of German language websites, never English ones.
What is going on? Somehow, the browser is telling the outside world that I am in Germany, but I am not.
How do I change this?

This topic was brought up already in another thread, try using the search function next time.
It is due to the fact that O2 uses German IP addresses I believe. The original thread has more detail on the topic.
search didn't show anything - I'll try some other search terms, but thanks for the info in the mean time.

Click 'search this forum' and use german results as the search term
here is the output
Sadly the answer lies in editing a hard coded file, not so easy.
I was having the same problem too. For me, the link posted above doesn't work and searching this forum for 'german results' only returns this thread.
However, I believe I have managed to fix it. My understanding of German is not good but one of the links at the bottom of the google results page turned out to be Preferences. Guess what - one of the options is Language. It seems like Google leaves a cookie or something and since I made the prefs change, all my results have been in English!
Cheers

thanks for this tip - I have checked both mobile and grown-up Google, and they both show my language as English (UK) (which is correct) - I don't seem to be getting any more German pages, although I had never changed the settings.
thanks again.

It becomes more of a problem in the UK within certain websites.
I cannot use my phone to buy lottery tickets because the site thinks im outside the UK. It is very annoying and a solution would be gladly received
Hi all,
Before my last hard reset, I did something to make the default search from the internet tab be a different URL so that it loaded the full google results and didn't give the stupid mobile view. For the life of me though, I can't remember or find what it was that I did!
Any ideas?
Cheers

Excellent, thanks very much for the link - I had to add the key which was why I couldn't find it before!
Sorry guys for the newbie question.
i have searched google and downloaded some examples of using WebView
but i don't think that is what i want because webview still uses the Search Bar..
What i want to do is:
:
1. i have a mobile site made up already to fit most android devices.
2. I want to wrap it i guess and create an APK..
what would be the best approach?
This isn't goign to be commercial, just an apk that i will share with some friends.
- I thought i could simply wrap it, but i am a bit lost.
maybe i am lookign for the wrong thing.. on google
I've never seen a web view that uses a search bar..
you should be able to do something like
Code:
WebView wb = new WebView(this);
wb.loadUrl("http://www.yourpage.com");
setContentView(wb);
and don't forget to set the right permissions.
It might help if you told what the webpage is that you're trying to show.
I have a website I'd like to this with.
http://www.rottweilertoday.net
I'd like to have a downloadable app that does nothing but take the user to the url.
Any thoughts greatly appreciated as always.
Are you still looking for this? If so send me an IM, I'm currently creating exact that!
to convert webpage as apk use appgeyser
If you want fullscreen app just use this on your Activity with webview:
Code:
requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN, WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);
Hi -
Enjoying Nodo on my HD2 thanks to YukiXDA. However, I've noticed this annoying issue with this and other HD2 WP7 roms.
Whenever I want to search in IE, I would type the search query in the url bar. However, this takes me to the Bing mobile page (m.bing.com), where I have to type the query again.
From what I understand in the reviews of WP7 and observing this action in the WP7 emulator, after typing the search query, I should be taken to the Bing search app which should list the results of my search, after which I should be taken back to IE after selecting one of the search results.
Any ideas?
