I may be posting in the wrong location and if i am my apologies but:
Just a question does anyone know of a site like iphonemoviez.net that will allow you to stream movies from an android device namely the DX????
Well there is that blockbuster app. I've seen a few other services but ether their servers get pulled or the software has become broken and buggy with the new android versions.
What i do though is use transdroid to search and remotely add torrents to my utorrent at home then using orb live (or the mobile site) and stream it once its done downloading. May not be as click and watch as i would like but it gets me by.
Keep in mind i only watch creative commans documentaries. Copyrighted movies are illlegal to view without buying the rights. So if ur intrested in that the blockbuster app is the only one i know that acutally works today.
Hope this helps

thanx for the prompt response
i was actually able to figure this one out in the browser there are hidden "advanced setting" which allow you to render a webpage like an iphone after changing this i was able to stream movies right off the iphonemoviez.net site
How to:
in the browser address bar type about:debug
then go to settings scroll all the way to the bottom you should see some new settings there
select uastring and then iphone
if someone else posted this before props and apologies to them

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........

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...

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 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.

Hi all, first post so go easy on me not sure i'm in the right forum, had my dhd for about two weeks now and can't fault the phone, but tried to get internet banking on it and can't seem to get it to download, I followed all of the instructions on the lloydstsb website and I get as far as downloading a file (downloadclient.jad) but when I try to open it the phone asks me to complete action using either DB editor or file editor, if I then open it with either I just get a load of text? i'm stuck, any help would be great.
P.s the program is monitise
Thanks hOOter343.............
Just go through the site as you normally would.
Change your browser to non-mobile view in the settings.
Just make sure your on https and not on a public wifi network.
I didn't bother with the app, lose your phone and your buggered.
Thanks flacid monkey, will do that it seems safer.

In your "Web Browser" I'm Pretty Sure if you Select Menu/Settings... Then Uncheck the Mobile View Box, It Should Enable the Desktop View until its Rechecked!!

Skyfire browser has an option on the main screen. Makes switching really easy. Works well if you are willing to try a different browser or just use like I do and only use skyfire when you want to run the full website.
Thanks. I kinda wanted to know this too.

Use Dolphin browser, it asked you during installation if you would like to view the mobile sites or desktop.
There is also a plug in for dolphim broeser hd that,toggles between mobile and desktop views. Works pretty good, sometimed have to restart the browser, not often.

Opera does this as well
can't you go to about:useragent on any browser and change it?
I am not interested in switching browsers. I dont have a mobile view switch in settings and i dont have about:user agent. I'll attempt to locate the article which said all androids can be switched to full view instead of mobile.

You do have user agent string in your browser. This should work on all webkit based browsers. I had read about this a long time ago, and with a single google search this came up.
http://lifehacker.com/#!5547037/change-the-user-agent-on-an-android-phone
The useragent string may or may not work depending on which ROM you are running. Back when I had stock eclair jfd I tried the user agent trick and all that did was crash my browser. Even rebooting wouldn't fix it, I had to factory reset
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7313019&postcount=5
I have froyo.ka6 and haven't tried it again, nor am I interested in trying it again since I have both Miren and Dolphin HD (both of which allow toggling of user agent AND have flash support).
I don't use stock browser anymore. Everyone says it's the fastest but I can't see any speed difference opening same sites with Dolphin HD or Miren...maybe in benchmarks you will see a few milliseconds?
Correct, i do have access to additional settings with about:command but don' have access to UAString which is needed to switch settings. Anyway the more i read about the subject, i found it was only temporary - per browser session. That is a waste of my time so i am moving along. i have eugenes froyo 2.2
If you want full vs mobile websites you definitely need to try another browser. You have lots of choices. Since you're running froyo you don't need the skyfire video capabilities 2.2 has flash video built-in.
Best free browsers for froyo (IMO)
Miren
Dolphin Mini
Dolphin HD (ad supported)
Opera Mobile 10 beta is ok but slower
Firefox is slowest but still in beta
Proxy browsers: (I don't like proxy browsers)
Skyfire
Opera Mini
Fastest for rendering / navigation are Dolphin HD and Miren.
There are a few others out there (xScope, Maxthon, UCWEB, Infinity).
All I can say is try them all decide which you like best - All have their pros and cons but they are all better than stock.
