Just to clarify, you're pressing the little microphone, right?
Same thing happens to me...It used to work fine once I rooted my phone, but then about 2 weeks ago, I flashed it and rooted using a different method, and now it doesn't work.
Would also really appreciate a solution...

Just wondering, but do you have the Text to Speech library for android installed on your phone? I use handcent too but I never get this message. You mean where it speaks out the text you get right? I haven't found a way to dictate texts though
My handcent speech thing works ok to dictate texts but as an extra if you use the HTC_IME keyboard the speech function on that lets you dictate a text onto handcent, not sure what languages it supports tho and both can be a bit random on the translation from my voice to text.

Hi
Does anyone know how I can stop my streak from displaying mobile versions of sites I view?
Thanks

Its done siteside. There should be an option on the page you're viewing to view full site. Or have a look at the URL and usually it'll have m.URL.com or /mobile/ in it which you can change.
You'll need to run a browser that doesn't identify itself as a mobile version. Some browsers have an option in settings.

Type about:debug in the URL bar and press Go.
It doesn't seem like anything happens, but it does........press menu - Settings - now there's a "debuger" section, go to UAString and tap.........choose desktop.....now websites see it as a desktop........
Jenn over at streaksmart.com posted a how to not so very long after the Streak launched...its not 100% but it works for some sites...

Anyone know how to make this stick permanently? A lot of sites seem to ignore the user-agent string whenever I try it, or at least when I type "about:debug" and then go to the relevant settings section it's always set to "Desktop" yet sites ignore it and keep going to mobile versions! The root of the SD card seems to also get filled up with .trace files for each site visited while in the debug mode...
The lack of a permanent UA String change is extremely annoying for certain sites such as www.nationalrail.co.uk where there isn't a "full site" link anywhere and the mobile version is rubbish. The service specific app in Market for this website is £3+ as well!
Facebook is another website that completely ignores the user agent string and will go to mobile (or "Touch") sites regardless.
I know there's a free Android Facebook app, but I don't WANT to have to use an app, I completely agree with the RIM guy saying "there's a website for that"
Sometimes the website will behave when you do the about:debug cycle, but it's hit and miss whether it will still behave when you click any link! Full Facebook, for example, reverts to the "Touch" version when you click "home" at the top...
Please anyone, if you know how, please let me know how I can PERMANENTLY disable ALL mobile optimised sites? I don't want to EVER see another "m.website.com/wap" ever again!
I suggest you try using Dolphin HD Browser.
After I used it a few times, I've set it to my default browser and it works for every website I've tried so far.
It's from the market and free! In addition, there are no ads except if you use add-ons, and only show up when you run the add-ons. Alternatively, you can always buy a license.
The only add-on it comes with is bookmarks at the beginning, and I personally use a different color theme add-on. As long as you don't run either, you will not get any ads! The user-agent switcher is a built in functionality and not an add-on (in addition to a plethora of other options).

Thanks for the reply, I'll give it a go and see how I get on with it. Already tried Fennec and Opera and neither felt as good or fast as the stock Froyo browser...

Instal Dolphin HD then an add-on called 'desktop toggles', you can then switch between mobile and web view at will

I've just bought a Galaxy tab, pretty enjoy it since i moved from HTC Desire. However, it pretty annoying when i access a webpage, the Tab's browser always go to Mobile webpage instead of default PC UI page.
=> Anyone know how to disable this feature.

Enter "about:useragent" in the address bar, and select the Desktop user agent.
It doesn't persist though, which is annoying!

Also look at the foot of the web page concerned..... If it can go to Desktop you should see an option named 'Classic'. If so click on it to change from Mobile view to Desktop.
a former iphone zombie here, they had a sbsettings toggle called user agent faker... for android the equiv would be a toggle switch widget on the desktop?... not sure if its out there, been searching though. looking for a persistant toggle..

I can change the user agent, but seems not to be stored. if I enter again in "about:useragent", the "custom" option remains selected.
Or just download Dolphin HD browser,then in the browser,go to settings>Useragent and choose desktop instead of Mobile by default,worked great for me.
Dolphin HD browser + euro firmware did the trick for me.

Using Dolphin HD browser on US T-Mo, agent switched to Desktop and no luck - it would still go to mobile version. Same settings in the same browser on my EVO - no problem - always takes me to a full website. I hope there is some other solution. Otherwise it is very annoying not to be able to see full NY Times site...

Well! Too many of xda member faced this problem. But there is no such probbaly tweak to prevent the Tab access defaut webpage from it's stock browser.
Anybody has found a solution ? It's super annoying not to be able to see the "normal" websites given the form factor of the Tab...
Are you guys talking about the homepage? Or the fact that the stock browser reverts to mobile user agent upon closing? The stock browser will not save user agent settings after being closed. Download a new broswer. Don't rely on stock.

The thing is... why should you have to download a different browser just to be able to view web sites in desktop mode ~ and even then different browsers don't necessarily give you a desktop view.
As an example I have Dolphin HD installed and if you attempt to access either ITVPlayer or the BBC web site you get the mobile version.
sadly, you need to re-do the about:useragent everytime you completely close the browser. Also, on stock UK firmwares (Even JJ7) iPlayer doesn't work even with desktop mode selected. Need to be on JM6 or JMA for the fixed browser.

It will Jackie... Providing as stated above you are on a later ROM.
For those however on the stock ROM it does not work.

It works on JM6 ? OK, good to know
Try skyfire.
It works for mine (T-Mobile US version)
if you wants normal desktop browsing try Miren Browser and in the options set the Desktop version( or the ipad version, it works)
however,
some sites (like megavideo) will go further than a User Agent and try to guess if you are really on a desktop or not, to redirect you to some annoying ads and jo-games.com
if you want to avoid that use NetFront Live Browser, it's the best low level changer browser for android so far, you won't be dissapointed and its kind of tablet optimized.

same here, same version
when tapping on the search dropdown box, it closes automatically as soon as the keyboard pops up.
i tried classic theme and 2010 theme.
any ideas why?
I have the same problem on my gtab. The only solution is to click on advanced search.

Had this issue no matter which browser I used.
same here. Thought that was odd to.
I found that it works when using Opera Browser. Doesn't work with Stock or Dolphin Tab for me. Weird...
It's likely the sh*tpoor javascript code on XDA that's interfering. They should do something about it.
I always use Google to search XDA by appending "site:xda-developers.com". Relevance is higher.

That is a good tip, btw. Atleast Google's search engine usually works exceedingly well.
its sad that this site, which is so heavily focused on mobile devices cannot be built on software tht runs correctly on anything other than windows.
Hi,
yesterday, I've received an update which I've installed now:
AP,CP: I9505XXUAME2
CSC: I9505VFGAMDC
Since then, the stock email app is acting very weird. When writing text, as soon as you use any punctuation, exclamation mark, question mark... , the cursor goes crazy and jumps around, making weird corrections to text that has been previously written. Even just copy/pasting an URL into empty email and trying to enter new line will have weird, unusable result.
This bug is easy to repeat:
- open stock e-mail app (not gmail!)
- start writing a new email
- write a sentence in a language of yours (I've tried English, as well as my native language that's supported on the phone)
- as soon as you enter any of the following: . ! ? and press enter (new line), the just written sentence will get split in two and some random editing will be applied as well
Anyone else experienced such behavior? I'm on stock firmware,not rooted, stock keyboard.
Not keen to factory reset just yet, as it involves a looooot of re-setting everything
Thanks!

Very similar bug appears on mine too.
It renders this phone unusable for business purposed, Exchange client is totally broken.
I'm unable to respond to work emails!
What a disappointment, how could it pass QA????!!!

Installing Swype keyboard from the Google play solved this problem! It's some kind of bug in SwiftKey, stock keyboard is based on SwiftKey. There's incompatibility between stock keyboard and stock email client.
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda premium
At first I thought it was swiftkey causing the issues so then went back to stock and it did the same. The explanation above saying that stock is based on swiftkey may explain why.
I've since installed AquaMail as a stopgap....swiftkey and stock keyboard work as intended with this.
And, to be honest, even though aqua mail was going to be a temp solution, I'm quite, no, very much liking it and will probably continue to use it as my main client.

To wrap it up. There are two solutions:
1. change your keyboard to Swype or anything EXCEPT stock keyboard and SwiftKey
2. change your email client without need to change your keyboard (!!!)
It's an obvious bug that should be fixed in future software releases.
There is a third alternative
3. Disable the auto-correction option on the standard keyboard. The suggestion will stay on, so you can touch the corrected (or predicted) word to change what you typed, but it will not be inserted automatically when you touch only the space bar. Which is not too great a penalty
