Ok so i just got my g2 here in hawaii today. Moved over from the n1 i had running cm6 stable. The only reason i moved was for the keyboard lol i have fat fingers. anyways does anyone know if theres a way to have the g2's browser run in "desktop" mode? the n1 had a option to switch it from iphone, desktop, and android browser i believe. I loved that because i use facebook alot and i really hate that it pulls up the "touch" facebook app by default. any help is appreciated thanks!
whats the point of having full flash support if it doesnt even pull up the full sites by default? it makes no sense to keep pushing the little link on the bottom that says "full site"
type "about:debug" into the address bar of the browser and hit enter. nothing will happen. go to settings in the browser and scroll all the way down to UAString and change the value to "desktop"

This works well, however you may have to do it again each time. I know that's how it was for my Nexus One.

I had the option in my settings on my n1 and once you set it, it was permanent is that because i was on cm6?

Anyone notice4. how web pages allways load up in "mobile phone mode", as i call it hehe. How come my phones browser don't surfe the web like my PC web browser. Just trying to figure out why they force you into this ****ty mode, that wont let you watch videos, other features and what not. Is there a rom or sumtin out there that can enable me to surf the web just like my PC web browser. I'm running nebula rom and loving it! btw. hehe. I just hate how i thought once i get flash i can surf the web and watch videos "south park, family guy" on some sites like "hulu, southparkstudios" but i couldnt. Also i did notice on the Southparkstudios. u can goto google and type south park, and when it shows the web site. if u click on the bottum Blue text that says "watch full video". i click on that and pick which ever episode i want ect... and it will work. Ohh yea, im not giant south park fan or anything im just using this as example hehe this site is the shiot! im a complete noob btw
If you want it to look like your computer, try this little tutorial. Download the Opera Browser version 10.xxx

You could try posting this in the general section so you don't look as much like a noob.
My browser runs fine, you just need to know how to use your phone.
Thnx. man

I've noticed that with a multiple browsers, even after changing the User Agent to desktop. I'm using Xscope now, and everything I visit regularly comes up with the full site except for ESPN. I haven't been able to escape their mobile version for whatever reason.
hmm
i cant seem to find the "user agent" in setting of my phone anywhere

This is half way right for 2.1
You will need to enter a web address of 'about:debug' and then go into options
For 2.2 it seems that this has been taken away.
hmm
hmm, ok so i did that "about:debug" thing and now i see a know new selection of options "Debug" but i still cant find the "UA string" but here is a list of my new options. btw im running nebula rom if that matters. and thnx for help here da list.
Show JavaScript console//Single column rendering//Use wide viewport//Normal rendering//Enable tracing//Enable light touch//Enable navigation cache de..//Set Js flags
LOL I hate that.

It's not his fault, some people just can't help but be a douche.
Dolphin Browser HD has the user agent option in settings. About every website I visit is in PC mode.

I can not figure out how to turn off the mobile view option in the native browser. The option is no longer there. I hate mobile web pages and have always turned this off so my phone will load the full version of the site. I guess this is something google removed from the browser in gingerbread. Crazy.
Anyone else notice this and want to tear their hair out?

Type about:debug as your URL. Hit Go. Go into settings and see your new expanded settings. Change UA string under settings.
does it stick after reboot?

After you enter about:debug and hit enter nothing happens. Click settings on the top right and debug will be there

Is there any way to get about:debug to stick permanently? It seems as if every time I turn off my Xoom or the browser FC's, I have to do this trick again.
hahaha this make sense now, I have been wondering why sometimes it works for me and other times it doesnt.. I keep mixing them up!

Persists after a reboot for me. Although, all I change is the browser ID to desktop.

Really? You don't have to type in Aboutebug every time?
xoom command - about:debug...
Does anybody still need help on this command?
Ok, so I do the about:debug thing on my Xoom because I like to view my sites in desktop view, but everytime I restart I have to do it all over again. Is there anyway to fix this other then rooting my Xoom?
There is a way but only works on the 3G. It's on the development forum.

I did it once and it has stayed as desktop. My Xoom is turned off quite often.
That sucks bc i have the wifi only model(not a big fan of Verizon) and it always comes undone for me.

Same here. Does not stick on reboot.
set it as your homepage and each time you want to re enable it all you have to do is click the url bar and enter

Mine is the WiFi only.
Just use Dolphin Mini & set user agent as desktop and you're done for good.Plus it works 100 times better than the stock browser.

Is there a trick to forcing these browsers to use desktop mode? I love dolphin because it does it but its SO LAGGED I cant handle it
google is your friend.
i put about:debug in my browser but nothing happens...

In stock browser nothing will appear to happen. You need to hit the menu in upper right after and choose settings >debug and uastring to change to desktop.
i got it now, thanks. So there is no permanent fix for Wifi? Nothing in the framework res?
Just use Dolphin mini..it works way better on the Xoom.set user agent to desktop and you're done
