QUESTION:
In opera, some pages were auto-redirecting my inquires to their wap versions instead of displaying the full web pages ("wap mobile view" instead of the standard full-desktop view)
Eg.: typed "www.google.com" and getting automatically redirected to "http://www.google.com/m". Same for nytimes, www.sports.es, etc
Unchecking "mobile version" at config menu didn't help. Frustrating...
.
ANSWER:
Some pages detect your device thru the "User Agent" (UA) identity and auto-reconfigure to "better fit" your hardware (PC, notebook, handheld, etc), thus, if you are browsing from a phone then you will be redirected to the wap version. Awful.
I have a BEAUTIFUL 800x480 screen and a great browser, I wanted full PC-like web experience
HOW TO SOLVE:
1) In Opera, type "about:config" or "opera:config" to enter config menu
2) Go to "User prefs"
3) Uncheck "UAProf URL enabled"
4) Restart device
No more wap crap. Now pages display properly, normal view, as seen on my PC. I'm happy
thanks, great tip!
but if you're using the opera search it still redirects you to the google mobile page...is there anyway to fix that?

Yeah, that's great.
So it's more fun to browse the web! Thank you!
Nice find.
Sadly, I tried it with Opera Mini and no luck there ):

Thanks!
When I still used Opera, I changed the User Agent in the about:config to the number '3'. If I remember correctly it uses Firefox's user agent then (or IE6).
However, thats all history, I use NetFront 3.5, and except for the fact that it doenst support Flash\Addon's (yet), it is WAY better then Opera. Scrolling goes so smooth with the optical pad ! !
Also, the pages load a lot faster, and aren't screwed up while loading (unlike Opera Mobile where every page gets screwed up until its finally loaded).
Great tip, thanks!!
Many thanks for hint!
Did anybody found a setting to sync the bookmarks?
In opera mini it is possible.

You shouldn't be getting the wap version anymore (I don't)
Did you reset after changes ??
Double check opera:config to see if changes were saved
Im getting the same thing as well whenever i go to www.goal.com it takes me straight to the wap version :S
Another attempt if the first one posted still does not work.
It still didn't work for me so I did some more searching and found something on the att forums linking back to here. It said to go to the proxy settings through the opera settings and erase the text in the bar. Like for FTP, HTTP, HTTPS server just erase the field. Restart the phone then try to go to a regular site like yahoo.
Example: I removed the "wap.cingular.com" from all the fields and it doesn't go to the mobile sites anymore.
still getting wap

Operator's autoconfiguration-dependant then...
Here's plan B:
-opera:config -> "User Agent" -> "Spoof UserAgent ID"
-change value from "1" to "2"
-save changes
-reset device
Hope this helps

tried this as well....does not work. maybe i'll just put up with it unless anyone else has another idea
use this UA:
Code:
Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 6.0; SLCC1; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; Media Center PC 5.0; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET CLR 3.0.30618)
It will be make yours opera like a real IE under Windows.
for some reason internet explorer has become default web browser, opera has make default browser ticked in the settings but still ie is chosen over it. any reason for this and how.do I fix it?

Try this;
Type in about:config in the opera browser's address field.
Expand the install line and check the box labelled browser first time launch. Tap save, then restart the browser.
nope doesn't seem to work, is there a way to uninstall ie?
With a registry editor go to: HKLM\Software\Shell\Rai\: DEFBROWSER\1 and enter the following string: "\Windows\OperaL.exe"

If your using the stock browser, change the User String agent in advanced settings to 'Desktop'. That should fix the issue.
Yep the stock and most of the downloaded broswers have an option in the settings to choose what servers see your device as...
In stock broswer go to Settings > Advanced and 3rd setting from the bottom is User agent string - change this to Desktop and everything in the world becomes right!
Hi, My evo 4g is on boost mobile, Everything works perfect except MMS. I can recieve but not send.
How can I change the MMS Settings?
When I go to MMS Settings, all the settings are gray out and I dont have any option to edit... Please guys need help on this.. I am using Fresh Evo Room.
Thanks in advanced
Press ##3282#, select "Edit", enter your msl, then select "Advanced" scroll down to "MMS URL", change it to http://mm.myboostmobile.com then hit menu and select commit. After that you should be fine.
EDIT - just saw the comment about fresh rom, is that a sense rom or aosp?

Hi, thank you so much, but when I press ##3282# nothing happens :/
What else can I do?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
U must be on a sense rom for the ##3282# code to work. If you are using a sense rom then you're gonna need to download an epst apk and install it. That should allow you to access the ##3282# menu to change the mms settings.

I've tried Jelly Time and am having one irritation when I switch to 3g/4g, I can't surf the web but can on WiFi. Data is working as I can upgrade apps, check mail, etc. but all browsers time out. I'm assuming it's a setting somewhere like DNS or something but don't know where to fix it.
I've installed a few of the JB mods and have the trouble with all of them. I'm on Telus.
I do a full format on all partitions except sdcard before installing.
Any ideas on what to try?
Which version of JellyTime?

I've tried up to R8 with Firefox, native, and Chrome.
Your on telus... go to apn and put in proxy and port values to be the exact same as what is in by default for mms. Hit menu and save

By the way I would love if someone can find a fix for this. It's been happening ever since kernel 3. It also prevents me from using any ad blocking because they don't work if you use proxy.
