I have checked the Tab at local BB, in stock browser when you go to settings - advanced settings- page content settings there is no line User Agent Settings - decide how your browser is identified by Web servers. I have this line on my Asus Transformer, isn't this part of the honeycomb? or did Samsung removed this for any reason? Web sites are loading automatically in mobile mode? (this was confirmed in 2 BB stores on 2 different Tabs) Weird... Anybody has any answers?
On the 10.1 its not in the general setting tab. You will to go into the debug mode. On the address bar type about:debug. Then you go into setting and there will be another setting call debug. Its in there.
Both the Xoom and Galaxy Tab you have to enable debug mode to see that setting. ASUS was pretty cool by apparently making a tweak so the setting was always visible.

i read somewhere that 3.1 took care of the mobile browsing. 3.0.1 always sent me to mobile sites. 3.1 hasn't yet.
3.1 is sending me to the mobile site for pocketnow and engadget.
when I type about:debug, nothing happens
EDIT: Nevermind.. you can go to Settings > Debug > UAString and select "Desktop"..

I'm on Tmob USA's GPRS which works fine, except certain pages (like the html full version of google) or blogger.com just will not load over GPRS. I've tried some registry tweaks to make my browser look like another browser and some other tweaks that were recomended and I still have no luck.
I believe another JasJar user was able to set the preferences at Google to always load pages as HTML, but over GPRS I can't save my preferences on that page to do so. Over wifi I'm able to connect to any page just fine (and I've set my google preferences to HTML from the device on wifi), so I believe somewhere the device is changing the settings depending upon my connection method.
This is one of my last JasJar bugs that's driving me nuts. Please help if you can!
Really, no one else is having this problem? crap....
After my last hard reset google keeps diverting to www.google.co.uk/pda. I think that's because I haven't used Tweaks2k2 to change a few bits, as I normally do, but you can still view 'proper' google, by going into preferences (on the website) and changing the default to 'HTML'

See, I tried that with no luck. When I navigate to the preferences page over GPRS it fails to save my preferences, literally every time it times out. When I use Wifi I can navigate to the preferences page and save the preference for full HTML, but it still doesn't load when using GPRS. It's pretty clear that it's using a different set of connection settings when the connection is made via GPRS. What settings do you use with Tweaks2k2? Maybe that will work for me...
As I see it, there are three possible reasons:
1) The connection is not a full internet GPRS connection and maybe instead going to a "walled garden", or using WAP
Go to settings, connections, connections, Manage existing connections and duplicate the settings from your Universal onto another device capable of taking your SIM card. Try that sim card in another device with the same connection settings. I expect you'll get the same results. If so, post the settings here
2) Tweaks has done something undesired. Can you list a few websites that are failing? Personally, I'm reluctant to install ANY software until I'm 100% convinced I need it. This applies also to my desktop and trippley so to my server
3) Blame the user :lol:
I reckon it's 1) :idea:
I just set it to recognise pIE as IE6.0
I'm not convinced that that's going to fix the problem you have though, because I'm sure that I've had that problem on other PPC phones which I never used Tweaks2k2 on, and there was some other way to fix it.
I'll have a play around and see what I can come up with...

Some interesting ideas there. Some of the sites that are failing include:
www.google.com - I can't access the full version and the PDA version hangs constantly during loading and loads results very slow, no images shown when image search is done.
www.blogger.com - It tries to load www.blogger.com/start which again hangs terribly and loads a version of the page with no images.
Various internet shortcuts I imported over from my bookmarks I used on my Dell Axim X30 (PPC2003SE). I'll have to pull a list later if I'm still having this problem.
I don't have another PPC Phone device so I can't try the settings swap but it does sound very likely. I am currently using the cab file from imate for tmobile USA settings (which does create a connection called "tzones" which kinda worries me), it uses the internet2.voicestream.com access poin. I had also manually configured the settings previously using these settings and still had the same problem (pulled from a hofo post by Mashie):
Goto Start > Settings > Connections > Connections > Add new ISP...
Give it a name (T-Mobile)
Select Cellular Line (GPRS)
Next
APN = wap.voicestream.com or internet2.voicestream.com (whichever you like)
Next
Next
Finish
leave username, password, domain, etc... all blank

But maybe I need to try some different settings... I'll try playing with the settings I have, creating new settings, and hounding some other Tmob USA GPRS user's settings (hopefully someone using another jasjar).
Re: #2, I haven't actually used Tweaks, I used Resco registry editor to try and make the browser appear to be a full PC browser. I tried a ton of registry settings suggested by some more Hofo super-users, but nothing worked. I eventually got really creative and desperate with some registry edits and finally hard reset the device, tried the suggested reg edits again without success, then hard reset again.
Re: #3 - lol. I seem to be the only one with this problem, so I'm not rulling it out... I was a bit worried someone was going to suggest that the PEBKAC (problem exists between keyboard and chair).
www.hotmail.com and www.handango.com are sites I have experienced cannot be accessed in their full PC version. The PIE on the JJ takes us to the mobile sites.
Likewise a strange thing happens when I try to log into the "PocketPCDubai Forums". PIE starts to download the site page. I can see the progress indicator gradually move up. When about 180 Kb has been downloaded the progress indicator disappears meaning that the page has fully been downloaded. Nevertheless the page is blank and with nothing on it.
I also have tried to modify the registry to make the PIE appear as a full browser but nothing seems to work.

Has anyone had this issue and resolved it via ROM upgrade? I'd be ready to upgrade the ROM right away if I knew it fixed this issue. If not, I'd rather not waste a few hours setting up, reinstalling, and configuring everything.
Does Mozilla Minimo work on the JasJar?
If it does - I believe that might offer a more feature full alternative to the bundled pocket PC InternetExplorer Galt.
Hope this helps
Finally remembered the address that I used to use for Google when I had this problem on my Jam...
http://www.google.com/webhp
That wont redirect you to the /pda page. There are probably similar pages for other websites, but this is the one I used most!
This registry hack will make Pocket Internet Explorer identify itself as IE 5.5 on Windows 2000. However it will prevent web sites that provide Pocket PC specific content to be able to know you're actually using a Pocket PC
Change Pocket IE to IE Version 5.5 (For Secured Sites)
1) Go to the HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\?CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\User Agent\ key. 2) Set the default value to "Mozilla/4.0" (Default is "Mozilla/2.0"). 3) Set the "Version" value to "MSIE 5.5" (Default is "MSIE 3.02"). 4) Set the "Platform" value to "Windows NT 5.0" (Default is "Windows CE").
This will only work on some secure sites that check version number rather than perform a check for support of secured transactions.

Tried that, although it loaded the main page (I think I had it cached from wifi browsing) it didn't let me search from there.
I finally upgraded my ROM to the latest 1.13.53 version and still couldn't resolve this with alternate URLs or registry edits. Any ideas, anyone? I'm using the T-mob USA cab settings from imate...
I recall this being missing in Android 2.x last I dealt with it, but I would have thought they added it by 3.0. And yet I can't find proxy settings anywhere on my newly bought Xoom. Is it just me being blind, or is it really not there?
Yes it is still missing, along with Cisco VPN support...
This makes this tablet pretty useless in a corporate environment... iPad works damnit!
I'm necro'ing this thread, but I found out that HTTP Proxy Settings from the market works just fine to expose the native Setting's Proxy page. I have no idea why it's disabled, but it works just fine for me! I just barely got it working, so I hope the setting is per WiFi network, as I'll have to clear it when I get back home, which would suck.
HTTP Proxy settings is not working with my xoom. Ran the app and it shows a blank Proxy screen.
Restarted Xoom. No change.
Do I need to root?
Not sure if this will work on the Xoom but on my phone I've created a Proxy shortcut using Any Cut. New shortcut > Activity > Proxy. Works well as long as you don't need proxy authentication.
Use Firefox Mobile
Use Firefox mobile and go to the add ons section and install the proxy mobile add-on. After you install it, go to proxy mobile from your add-on and enter your proxy settings.
i'm having the strangest problem, my browser cant connect using mobile internet, but it works perfect on wifi. opera works fine via mobile or wifi, so does market. i've read some similar forums which suggest the problem is in proxy settings, which i cant find.
i've tried reflashing prety much everything, so any suggestion would be most appreciated.
edit:
i figured it works in stock rom, but doesnt work in cm or wildpuzzle. i did a format od system/data/cache/sd and it still doesnt work. i tought it had sth to do with google backup (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=867143), but it doesnt seem so, because it still didnt work after clean install wothout syncing to google at all.
is there any similar config tool in android btowser to about:config in mozilla?

found the problem...
it was the proxy in apn what caused trouble. but it was way stupid situation. 1stly, apns are auto downloaded from network in my case, and as such i treated them as correct. and 2dly, i tried to clear that exact same proxy before, but it didnt cross my mind i have to reboot when i changed something as simple.
the cause of some apps still working and others didnt was probably that the ones which worked didnt use proxy at all.
anyways, problem solved, me happy. thanks for help...
I replied to a similar problem on this forum some time ago. Maybe it would apply to other people having similar issues.
was having a similar problem yesterday after I upgraded the OS on my phone.
Let me describe what I am using:
HTC Glacier with Cyanogen 7 ROM including Google Apps.
I installed TransProxy 3.08beta and a few other applications, made some config changes, enabled / disabled proxy a few times and later on the browser application that was included with the ROM would not connect to 3G data. It was working fine on WiFi. However Opera worked fine on either. Also other apps like market worked fine.
This is what fixed it for me:
1. Disable proxy in TransProxy
2. Create a shortcut for system proxy settings on home screen:
long press on home screen > custom shortcut > pick your activity > activities > settings > Proxy Settings(.ProxySelector)
3. Open proxy settings using the shortcut
4. Clear settings using 'Clear' button
5. Save
After this the browser started connecting to 3G data.
Hope this helps.
Cheers

Proxy is a host through which you can access a particular network (in this case internet) from your device. Your device can be a phone or a pc or a tablet or anything that needs to connect to this network. If proxy settings are configured on your phone then the phone will always try to access the internet through that proxy host, even if direct connection is possible. After clearing those proxy settings, my problem was resolved.
hi all
just got the eee transformer. when i log into facebook it automatically uses facebook mobile. and it doesnt work right when i try and hit the home or facebook button it keeps comming up connection error. i cant get it not to go to facebook mobile , does anyone know how to stop this please
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!
At work, I sign-on to the open wifi here. With KitKat, I would get a notification that there is an open network. I would then click on the notification which would open a browser window saying something about network security, do you still want to proceed. I would proceed, accept the IT dept. disclaimer and then be signed on to the wifi.
With Lollipop, I click on the notification which brings me to the screen in "Screenshot1.png" below. It brings me to a blank screen so I click on the setting button on the screen which is what you see on the screenshot. I then click on "Use this network as is" but it does not sign me onto wifi. Once I close out of the window, I get the same wifi notification again (Screenshot2.png).
So my question is, how do I sign-on to the wifi? I noticed the old notification would take me to a browser window where the new notification takes me to a non-browser sign-in window.
Bumping to see if anyone has any thoughts on this. I cant' be the only one having this issue.
Yes exactly the same issue here.
We use a captive portal sign in page and then a ssl web page for authentication through to the web.
Found http://www.reddit.com/r/Nexus5/comments/2mkh95/ on reddit relating to this issue.
To sign-on you have to do the following (credit reddit):
1. tap sign in to Wi-Fi
2. press the three dots
3. choose you network as is
4. open chrome and go to any website that will redirect you to sign in page
5. sign in
While this is working for me, its a drag to go thru all that. Further more, I'm finding that if I'm not quick enough between steps 3 and 4, I get the open wifi notification again and have to start the process all over again.

Maybe bookmark the login page and place it on your home screen, turn off open networks notification and save the network so you automatically connect? You'll have some time without a working connection, but as soon as you notice, just tap the bookmark shortcut - Would that work?

Thanks for the tip. I'd like to try this. If I turn off open network notifications, how will I sign-on? I believe I HAVE to go thru the sign-on window shown in screenshot 1 of my first post before I can open up the browser. And in order to do that, I have to get the notification to get to the sign-in page.

The only open networks I've ever used, didn't need other sign on, than the login website that I got redirected to. So I think you can just let the phone connect, and then at any time open a browser. I even think the phone might give a notification when it discovers that there's a login-page blocking internet access?

Unfortunately I have to go thru the "Android" sign-on page and click "use network as is" before I can get to the browser to the sign-on page. This is in spite of having the wifi connection saved. If I try to just open the browser and get to the sign-on page once I get notification of the wifi network, it uses mobile data instead and does not take me to the sign-on page. That said, adding a bookmark shortcut was a good tip and has helped shorten the process up a bit.

Wow, that Lollipop behavior sounds sucky
Hopefully that's one of the things that will be ironed out with future updates!
I'm having this issue with my Moto X 2014 trying to login to my works wifi.
The main difference is when I try to use Chrome to sign into the network (once I'm connected to it through Wifi) I get a Page saying that 'Your connection is not private' it then goes on to say that people might be trying to steal information from google and basically complains that the certificate is invalid. No matter what I click on (even the Advanced tab) I can't continue.
However with my Samsung Tab S if I connect to the exact same network and also use Chrome to login I get the same error message yet if I click the Advanced tab I then can see an option to continue regardless (or words to that effect). Once I click that its fine. Yet this option is missing on my phone, almost as if the mobile version of chrome is clipping the web page so you can't see it. I'm going to install Firefox and give it a try (when I can connect to a wifi network).
As an update. I installed Firefox and again tried login into the network by going to Google homepage, again I got a similar message saying that the connection was unsecure and the certificate was invalid, again I couldn't continue. However I decided to try and go to a different URL and again I got the same message but this time I had an option to continue even though I knew the risks. This I did and then was prevented with my companies WiFi login page, after I entered my details it worked fine. I could also use Chrome browser without any issues.
SO if anyone else is having this problem, install Firefox and then go to any website other than google. Then hopefully you'll be able continue and login to your works unsecure WiFi.
