There's a dedicated option to switch mobile view on and off.

have you tried about:debug

about:config gives me a white screen
about:debug gives me my homepage which is google

Once you type the appropriate command in the address bar hit the menu button > settings> then scroll down to UAS string.
You will not get any kind of notification that you did anything in the address bar after hitting enter.

Deja vu!

Crap, this is it, I was thinking of Firefox!

Any way of setting the Browser to "Desktop Version" mode on Froyo???

Any way to do this on completely stock devfroyo?
Cheers!

about:debug in the adress bar.
Then go into settings and select the UAString you want.

This are the stupid things that HAD to be in the android intro icon on Froyo!!!
Stick it or delete thread...
Thankxxxx

This is not new, its been like this before froyo.

Before Froyo I had an option in the preferences panel of the browser, and I didn't have to type "about:debug"...

You were probably using Cyanogen or some other cooked ROM, the older stock didn't have this in the default menu either.

Thank you, and also a Google search would've produced the same answer.

load sites without being sent to mobile

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. "

Thank you

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.

[Q] To make standard browser NOT mobile??

Hello,
I remember there was a solution how to convert standard Acer browser from mobile to regular, but cannot find that.
Anybody helps?
Thank you very much.

IIRC there is a button to click "Desktop Sites" within Browser in the settings. I generally just use Firefox.
Sorry if I'm mistaken.

Actually found the proper way of doing it!
1. Open the Android Honeycomb browser on your tablet.
2. In the address bar, type: about:debug and press enter.
3. Now open the browser's settings by tapping the icon in the very top-right corner of your screen (it looks like four horizontal lines) and selecting "Settings" from the drop-down menu that appears.
4. On the left side of the screen, tap the section labeled "Debug."
5. On the right side of the screen, tap the item labeled "UAString," then select "Desktop."
6. Press the back button (in the very bottom-left corner of your screen) to exit the browser's settings.
7. In the browser's address bar, type: about:debug once more; this will disable debugging mode and return the browser to its normal state.

Excuse my ignorance, but how does this differ from just touching the menu tab in the top right corner, settings,advanced, viewing mode, & selecting desktop?

I don't have that in the settings on ICS...

It's even easier in ICS. Open Browser, then when you press the menu button on the top right, one of the options is "Request Desktop Site". When you click it, it will permanently resolve itself as a non-mobile browser to all sites until you return to the menu and click the option again.

The above for me is only slightly true. Some sites i visit will reset this. I Found myself going back in there several times yesterday and toggling this back to desktop.Not sure if its just me experiencing this. But still Its not like its a complicated difficult thing to do.

This shows how to gain access to the Android Browsers debugging, which has more options than the standard options. The UA string is the user agent string websites look for when determining which website to send you to, desktop or mobile. Changing that setting allows you to permanently set the browser to desktop mode.
This trick also works on ICS and is more permanent than clicking "Request desktop site"

If running ICS, try using ICS Browser+. Contains all the goodness of the ICS browser, but let's you set the viewing mode to tablet or desktop. Nice!

Chrome Beta runs desktop versions usually, unless there's a site that blocks it.
i now default to ICS browser+ it's pretty great.

[Q] Icons missing from Galaxy S5!

I'm frustrated!
I want to edit the order of my "Quick Settings" in the Notification bar, but there is no icon (the pencil icon on the right side up) where it should be!
Also, when I press the "Options" button (the three squares) in the Settings page, most option are missing!
The only one that appears is 'List view' (to a total of 2 views - 'Grid view' and 'List view'), whereas the third view, the 'Edit quick settings' and the 'Help' options are missing!
I've got pictures to prove my point and help you see my problem but, unfortuately I can't post them here.
What is wrong? Is it because of the edition of the phone?

Depending on the device model and also the firmware version, there are some variation of the Settings menu. So I cannot realize what is your Settings menu structure.
You can open the S Finder and enter 'notification panel' to search.

Same thing happens. I sadly think it is because of the firmware, as you say, and there is nothing I can do about it.
Thanks for your reply, though!

What does that mean? Did you find this menu using S Finder?
If you cannot find this settings, here is another way:
Install Shortcut Master app, open Menu > Search > enter 'notificationpanelsetting' to search. Finally tap on the search result to open this settings.

Yes and, again, the notification panel had no pencil on the uppermost right corner. :/

I had high hopes for this (on my search on the Net, I found no solution like this) but, alas, the search came back with 0 results. Searched both 'notificationpanelsetting' and 'notificationpanelsettings', and 0 results for 'notificationpanel' as well!
edit:
Oooh! That's why I thought I recognised the name of the app creator - it was you! Nice job, btw!

Sorry, I have searched on my Note 3, not S5.
However the function may be missing because of different firmwares.
You can bypass this problem by flashing another firmware.
