From the browser, press the options button, select More>>Settings>>Select User Agent. Change it from Android to something else, such as Linux Desktop.

From a Home window, press the options button, select Settings>>CyanogenMod settings>>Interface>>Widget Buttons. Below the selection area, under the Button Modes section, select Sound Modes. Choose Sound+Vibrate/Vibrate, or Sound/Vibrate, or one of the other half-dozen options you like.
Thanks

Hmm, it seems like the trackpad (home button) doesn't work.
Well it works as a trackpad and can select items and open them and all that, but when I want to try and start the phone, it doesn't work. I have to use the power button for that.
It started when I upgraded from Froyo HTC Sense to CM7 Gingerbread.
Is there an app out there that enables it again?

you should go through and learn the CM settings, there are a few different settings that allow you to wake the phone and unlock it with the trackpad
menu>settings>cyanogenmod settings>input>then check trackball wake
and if you want it for unlock also then
menu>settings>cyanogenmod settings>lockscreen settings>unlock options and check the trackball unlock
Oh okay. I see it. One more thing, is there a way where I can make the phone vibrate when I get a text message? The phone doesn't vibrate when I put the phone on vibrate

Do a search with about:debug and I'll find ur answer aabout the mobile sites.
I use dolphin browser HD
And there is an auto taskkiller built in, you don't need to mess with ending running apps android is smart and will do this for you.

It doesn't kill these tasks. It keeps them running. Its a nice feature when um using the tasks.but gets annoying when in not using it

I like dolphin browser, but can't seem to get the back button to actually go back a page, is there something I'm missing?
Sent from my A500 using XDA Premium App
I have a lot of trouble with the back button in Dolphine too.. specifically if flash is involved on the pages, but not sure that has anything to do with it.
For the stock browser, type "Aboutebug" into the address bar, then check the browser settings.. There will be a new menu option called "Debug" where you can set the UAString.
HOWEVER. if the browser closes and your run it again, you have to do the "Aboutebug" again (but don't have to change the UAString). It seems to ingore the UAString unless you do the about:debug everytime you launch the app. You'll see what I mean after a few times. Just create yourself a bookmark to about:debug, so it's handy.
It seems the "tab history" add on for dolphin can be used as a work around to the back button trouble we are having, I had actually stopped using dolphin because of it, but I think ill use that add on and deal with it. I've had some issues where dolphin seems slower to load than the stock browser, but its silky smooth scrolling and extra tools (gesture controls especialy) make having to use the tab add on a worthwhile hassle.
I think ill make a gesture control for going back a page and see if that works any better

In Dolphin HD, I just tap the gestures symbol in the lower left corner and then draw a < on the screen. Works every time.

Multitasking is possible. You need to switch between apps using the third button from left on the lower bar. By using the first button ('back') or the second button ('home') the previous app doesn't close, but won't actively work either.
Stock As Desktop
To set up your stock browser to run like a Desktop Browser.
goto url
type about:debug then enter
then goto "settings"
then "Debug"
touch "UAString" and select Desktop!
I've never had a problem using the back button in dolphin.
I experience some problems while surfing. The standardbrowser crashes sometimes and websites automatically offer a mobile cellphone lay-out. Are these problems solvable, or do we have to wit for Android 3.1?
Yep, there's a thread somewhere here about making the stock browser load desktop versions of sites. Better still, download dolphin hd from the market, go into settings and change to desktop.
Write about:debug in the stock browsers searchfield then press enter. It will look like nothing happens. Then press the settings button in the top right corner and go to settings menu. You will find the debug choise. In there you will find the UAstring. Press that one and choose what you prefer.

cannot load some sites without being directed to the mobilr version. Would like to view sites in full screen format not the 1/3 page displayed in the mobile versions. Did not have this problem with viewsonic.
In the address bar type in "about:debug" without the quotes. press enter. press the menu button (top right) then settings. Then "Debug" then "uastring", then "desktop".
If you are on ICS, then just tap the menu button, then "load desktop site". (much easier than honeycomb )
thanks much...too bad samsung support doesnt know how to do this.

If you're using a rom that uilizes the xoom browser (basically every new rom, non-ics) go to browser> settings> advanced> uastrings, and then select "desktop. "

Ive got so used now to
Load site > scroll down > look for desktop site button > press button > contune browsing. Lol
Another suggestion (easier too in my opinion) is if you download Dolphin Browser. When you set it up you can choose to have desktop browsing enabled.

I loved dolphin on my nook color. I've not tried it on this tab yet, but just might have to now.

Everytime I open the browser it's dim. I open then menu and change it from "Level 3" to "default." However, the next time I open the browser, it's dim again. Somehow it resets itself to battery saver level 3. Does anyone else get this problem or know how to fix it?
Edit:
Nevermind, I fixed it. There's a Power Saving menu in the main phone settings that affects this. Turn off the Background Color option and you won't have this problem.
Feel free to delete my thread. Or leave it. w/e
When you say that you opened the menu, was that menu in the browser or in the actual phone settings? I'm asking because I can't seem to find the settings for just the browser itself. I'm probably just being stupid, but when I press the menu button while on a Web Page, I do not have the option to go into the browser settings.

You hit the phone's physical menu button while on a webpage and one of the options there is "Brightness and Colors." That's the menu that lets you select power saving levels 1 through 3 or deafult. I just wanted mine on default. It wouldn't stay on default until I turned the Background Color setting off in the Power Saving menu in the Phone's main settings.
Can you send me a screen shot? I did exactly what you did and I do not have that option in my browser. In fact, I'm not sure if this is just a problem with my phone or with all att S3's but I'm missing some settings options. For example, if I go into the display settings, I am unable to change the contrast like I have seen in reviews if the international version of the phone.
Do you have these problems too?

Scroll the menu that pops up in the browser, there are more settings...
Also look in your main settings under power saving. It messes with your browser brightness/color as well
Wow, I am a total idiot. And yeah, I see what you are saying.
Thanks.
