I never had this problem on my aria using skyfire. Is there a setting I need to change?
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
The setting your looking for is called "User Agent", set it to desktop if you don't want any mobile sites. I'm not sure why yours random started going to them but that's the setting for it.
Another thing that I find annoying is the fact that going to say fox.com to watch fringe skyfire won't load any video at all, just tried it on my liberated aria and it works with out a problem? I have only had the atrix 2 days, and I'm seriously disappointed. I think I might flip to a inspire by friday.

Its not random starting, I meant it just pushes me into mobile sites even if I choose the regular site. I'm just really disappointed with this phone. I really don't see much of a difference between the speed of this phone and my aria.

the issue is most likely a skyfire compatibility issue with your phone, the market comments several phones having the same issue. However, my question would be if you are running 2.2 and can install flash, why do you need skyfire?
And seriously? after 2 days use you are ready to say it is not much better than a phone whose maximum overclock is 800mhz and has less than half the available RAM, much less a comprable screen? Give the very capable developers time, as well as motorola, to show you what kind of phone you have.
Its all little disheartening when the developers are starting to give up like Dg for one.
On the browser issue. I don't like the fact that I'm am supposedly using the most powerful phone but am restricted to using mobile sites. The stock browser yahoo mobile. And I can't find the user client option for the stock browser. I have skyfire set to desk top and that one is still taking me to mobile sites.
The inspire is looking better by the moment, I just don't like how big it is.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
lol switch to the inspire, test it out.
I guarantee you'll subtly switch back to the atrix and start posting back here in no time.
Where are the user client settings for the stock browser. I can't find them.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
By default I don't think you can change the user client of the stock browser. Try Miren Browser, Opera, Dolphin HD or Firefox. All are great browsers.
you're going to be pretty pissed off when you realize how much slower the inspire is, and how bad it's battery is. The atrix, like any product carries some buyers remorse
I just watched fringe on fox.com using Dolphin HD... No problems..
Never had a problem with Dolphin HD kicking me to a mobile page either..
I'll try dolphin out.thanks
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
Oh that depends on why browser you're using, not the phone itself. If you want something free, get Dolphin Mini browser.
If you want something a little faster, xScope 6 is awesome and I love it.

I went to change the user agent in the cm6 browser from android to iPhone and then went to YouTube it tells me that I need to enable safari plugins for it to play. How do you do that
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
Why would you want to do that? The iphone does not support flash and I don't think the browser will. The android browser has more capabilties than the browser found on the iPhone and since sites think you are using the iPhone you may not be able to view certain things.
I wasn't going to keep it on iPhone I was just wondering why I couldnt watch YouTube that's all

is there anyway to install stock android browser on the epic? i believe it's better than the one on the epic or is it the same?
Try asking in the general section -- this forum is for development threads like ROMs, kernels, and other projects
Our browser is stock. And yes, this belongs in General.
It's stock, but oddly enough, Sptint, Facebook, and Google's mobile sites ALL identify it as an Intercept. I call that laziness. And also probably the reason for a lot of problems.
Threw dolphin hd browser is awesome.

what problems do you speak of? works fine for me!
My bad for posting the wrong section. If a mod can please move. Anyone knows how to remove the zoom buttons on the bottom of the browser or maybe a tweaked apk a dev could make to remove them? There so dam anoying! Btw can the evo browser be installed on the epic?

Stock browser is good, but if you want, what I think might be the fastest android browser (sans server side rendering a la opera mini), then I highly suggest the new xscope browser. It looks great too.

I second this, the Xscope browser is by far the best browser out there. Better than Dolphin HD. I have used them all and it is fast and light. I don't even know why anyone would want to put the Evo browser on there phone. What a POS.

Hey guys, I use Opera mobile web browser and I love how simple it is and how it looks. However, I noticed how several websites are cramped to only one side making it almost impossible to browse normally.
I have tried Dolphine browser but there is just too much in and and when I swipe side to side instead of the page, the side bars pop up. It gets really annoying.
I wanted to see what you guys general use for web browsing.

I use Dolphin Browser, though I know what you mean about the sidebar. I've found that if you scroll up/down first, then to the side, the sidebar doesn't show up as often.
I was using firefox but I switched back to the stock browser.the stock one runs much smoother.
Used Dolphin for the longest but just went back to stock. Like the simple clean interface and the side to side scrolling on dolphin just started to drive me nuts.
Stock. Tried Opera and Dolphin but went back to stock.

If you never use the side bars in Dolphin, you can disable the swiping side to side action in the settings. It helps make Dolphin more usable.
I'm using Dolphin HD, although I do find navigating around a page to be buggy sometimes.

I also use dolphin and have disabled the side bars because they drive me nuts. I'm a fan of the tabs which I find a great feature that isn't on stock.
Yeah, I love the tabs but I prefer the way it is on opera mini, plus opera is really nice and simple.

i do. skyfire rocks, and can watch most flash content with it.
Skyfire. So far it's my favorite but I'll be interested in trying firefox once it's a bit further along.
I have tried out several with the notification bar hide feature because of the screen burn in issues. For me dolphin hd can be really slow. Anybody that's using it without issues change any of the settings to get it to run properly?
Hey.
I got a mobile broadband the other day and want help saving as much data as possible. What's a good browser to use mainly that doesn't load flash images all that. Or even one that gives me the option to load images.

Anyone

Pretty much any of the third party browsers will have these options. I know dolphin has the option to not load plugins without telling it you want to run it.
I would check out the browser thread and find some browsers you like then install them and try them.
If you ask 20 people what browser is best you will get at least 18 different answers or reasons why. It all depends on your personal preference.
Not running flash on jellybean should be much easier than running flash.

opera mini browser is my best recommendation
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.mozilla.firefox
Past Firefox has sucked hardcore, but now, wow. Its smooth, no chopping zooming out either, it reminds me of the stock galaxy s2 with the bounce effect.
Try it out. Tell me I am wrong
What browser is smoother in your opinion

The address bar doesn't scroll away when your scroll down webpages, it takes up too much of the screen real-estate.

Dolphin is good in writing, but too unreliable. Tabs didn't load a lot of the time it didn't even show up at all. Had to keep changing the current from desktop to phone just so i could post messages on different sites....the list goes on.
Any way to back up the bookmarks like Dolphin? I installed it when the stock browser was fc-ing on bookmarks and found the import/export feature makes life easier.
People should really give boat browser a chance. Very good speedy browser! :good:
completely agree with boat browser. I don't understand, why is it so low profile, I have tried other popular ones like Opera, Dolphin (& mini), stock, etc, but Boat seems to be the best of the lot
I think dolphin browser hd is really good along with stock s3 browser.

For Firefox and Chrome, try loading engadget's desktop site. While loading, try scrolling down. You will see a lot blank white and takes sometime for it to load. Stock loads much faster.
Firefox has a great interface
