Cm6

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

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

Where is this setting, out of curiosity

Nevermind, I found it

Why am I getting booted into mobile only web sites?

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.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App

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.

In the stock browser enter "about:debug"... This will allow changing ua strings...

XDA Rendering

Is it just me or has the page rendering on XDA gone bonkers when viewing from the Tablet?
I changed over to the rather ugly XDA Classic theme that fixes the rendering issue but what's the deal with page rendering on the XDA 2010 theme when viewing from the Tab?
Did something change in the css as I am getting this issue on ALL custom ROMS..

+1... they break something after "maintenance "

Man, am I glad I saw this thread. Thought I was going nuts!

Yeah thanks for starting the thread. I was just about to spend who knows how much time trying to figure out which app was killing all my memory.

It's being 2 days now and the bug in XDA web is still there... it makes hard to read site on a tablets (I've tried Dolphin HD and standard Android browser).

Why not just use the XDA HD app frm the Market for your XDA needs instead of viewing directly from the Browser?

I think you quoted the wrong person. Of course that's what I do, but trying it for the others having problems using the browsers and everything is fine. No issues like they're having in both browsers they mentioned and a couple others everything is fine...

I don't like xda app and yes they fixed CSS... so all good now.

Browser Hang

I dont know why but what ever browser i use it eventually gets to the point where the browser just hangs not crash, it just wont load links i click on or refresh the page its almost like if the internet connection has gone, it is definatley not a connection issue as my pc, laptop and ps3 have no issues. Its getting really annoying now, i have used various roms from aokp, asus hydro, i am currently using aokp build 40. I have used every browser, stock, chrome maxthon, dolhin hd, xscope, it doesnt seem to do it on firefox beta but its horrible and until the firefox team try and make it even slighty resemble the desktop version im not using it.
Anyone had this issue?

Thanks guys ill give it a try

New firefox browser = smoothest browser?

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

I'll give it a try, thanks

using FF brower since 4-6 weeks, in my eyes one of the best.
at my pc i am usig FF to, no sync feature as well.

Seems very slow at loading pages and text is shown very blurry. I've yet to find a better browser than SGS3 stock browser.

I think it's amazing except for one major flaw which causes me not to use it.
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.

Chrome browser all the way. Faster than dolphin, opera and stock.
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using xda app-developers app

I use chrome because I am all Google and signing in allows me to save bookmarks easier. I might try this and see how well it mashes with flash. I can not stand the stock browser for some reason.
Anyways the only thanks I am giving is to the one who presented us with the new version being out. Thanks OP!
By the way flash is still available for us

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
