browser q re desire Rom

Simple one, how do I set the desire sense UI web browser to display a full webpage not the mobile vsrsiln, the site in particular is chimet.co.uk which I use for kitesurfing. I can do this with the dolphin browser but want to use the standard one with the HTC bookmark widget.
Thanks.

go into the browser settings and remove the checkmark for Mobile View and you should get the desktop browser view.

Doh! Can't believe I missed that, thanks!

replace android browser with htc browser?

Is there any way to get HTC sense browser on a stock nexus build? I've found that I'm able to go onto to more flash based websites on the HTC browser than an android browser. Is it possible to have as an apk?
PS: I'm on my phone so I can't really search because my phone doesn't really allow you to use the search feature.

I'm not sure but isn't the HTC browser the same as the stock Froyo browser? Just with another surface?

I don't think so. The UI is different. And I'm able to view more websites as a desktop view than I am with the android version.

Hmm.. dunno.
But I think it isn't possible, cause the HTC Sense apps can't be installed like any other app, they're integrated in every build. I have tried to extract some apps out of the galaxy S rom. And they couldn't be installed, so I think there's no way to get this done.

I'm interested in this as well, the issue i have is that the htc sense browser has the ability to handle coded links (scrollable) where the android browser can not (non scrollable)

You Won't be able to. Either use a sense build and remove the htc stuff you dont need or try another Browser from market where you can switch to mobile look and back. There are plenty ...

It's not just the desktop views but rather flash based websites as well.

the sense internet is also faster at zooming when you double tap compared to the "browserr" in stock android.

tried dolphin but the keyboard lag using predictive text was killing me. Hence why back room Google. How is Opera? Easy to set it to desktop mode?

In the stock browser use about:useragent in the address field and it will slow you to change to desktop mode.
It does not save this setting so u have to do it every time you restart the browser .

Ah so on the galaxy tab about:debug has been changed to about:useragent.
Thanks. That is good info.

Browser Issue

Hi,
Whenever I have more than one browser window open, every so often the Galaxy Tab will vibrate a couple times when opening a new browser window, the page won't load and the browser would close automatically. What does this mean?
-Thanks

Happens with me also...whether I use the stock browser or dolphin...though with dolphin it happens much less...

I found that the "solution" for that probkem is to use a browser not based on WebKit, as it's painfully clear the version in the Tab is really crashy. Look for Opera, Firefox or Skyfire. The others (like Miren, Dolphin...) are all WebKit based, and as such they might make the issue better but not fix it
also disable panoramic mode in the stock browser: with that on is a lot slower than a 600mhz Android phone!

Hi,
How would you disable 'Panoramic Mode' in the stock browser? I haven't downloaded any new browser(s) as of yet.
-Thanks

In the browser settings, second option, it's right below the zoom one.

[Q] megaupload

I am trying to download some files using megaupload and i can't seem to be able to do it!
The default browser just doesn't do it, firefox does it but only if i stay on firefox and wait(as in, i can't go to another app). Does anyone have a solution?

yeah use opera mobile or dolphin

Works fine in my stock browser. But since I use Opera Mobile, I have never had any problem using it to download off megaupload. Just make sure you stay on the tab while it counts down since it pauses it for some reason if you minimize the app or go to another tab.

Works fine for me on stock browser. Try changing the useragent to "Desktop"? Maybe
