Is there any way to get the N7 to not register as a mobile device for internet purposes? I am sick of trying to go to websites and only being able to get the mobile version.

Don't know about the N7 as mine hasn't arrived yet, but you should be able to change your user agent in Settings>More>UA String.
If you're browsing the web with Google Chrome, hit the menu button, then check off "Request Desktop Site".

That works at first, but a lot of times if you "open in new tab" it opens the link in the mobile version again. Then I click "Request Desktop Site" and it sends me to the start of the website, where i have to find the link I just clicked and click it again. Makes tabbed browsing useless.
Use another browser like opera and you can set your user agent across all tabs.

Boat Browser and set the user agent to Desktop, Android, iPhone, IE, Firefox, Safari, iPad...whatever

I would like to use mobile.southwest.com. However, it detects that I am visiting with a PPC and redirects me to the main site.
The problem with this is that I often want to check in, and if you do it from the main site but don't print a boarding pass, when you "reprint" a boarding pass at the airport, it reclassifies your boarding group. If you check in with the mobile phone, it remembers that you are boarding class A.
I tried installing opera mini (which, since I use a T-Mobile MDA, required installing a midlet manager) and then going to mobile.southwest.com, but southwest still redirected me to the regular site.
Has anyone figured out how to go to the southwest wap site?
there is a registry setting, so your browser will be detected as a desktop pc,
don't remember the setting you have to search like registry setting for IE6
I need the opposite
The problem is that mobile.southwest.com is detecting my ppc as a desktop pc, and thus assumes I have an attached printer. I want to tell it that I am not a desktop pc.
How to spoof a desktop pc is in the wiki:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=WM5_Tweaks_Other&version=70
but I haven't been able to find how to spoof, say, a treo (on which this mobile.southwest.com returns wap content).
Tried them all
I have now tried PIE, Opera mini, Minimo, and Netforce 3.3, and can't reach mobile.southwest.com on any of them -- I'm sent to the main site instead. So clearly it isn't a browser issue but some other settings. Does anyone know how to spoof a wap browser?
The solution to this problem turns out to be to use a WAP browser. The two main ones are Klondike ($23) and winwap ($50). Klondike's trial has a not-very-obnoxious trial reminder periodically but my understanding is that it works indefinitely, which is very nice of them.
I tried the Tweaks2k2 changes and nothing helped with getting mobile southwest to work.
I downloaded Netfront 3.3 and if you allow WAP on the program, the mobile southwest will load correctly.
I called southwest before doing all this and got nowhere.
If anyone has an idea of getting the default browser to work, I would like to know before, I pay for Netfront.

Skweezer.net
Have any of you tried skweezer.net? It's a site that condenses web sites for small screens. I went there on my LAPTOP, entered mobile.southwest.com into the search window, and brought up the mobile version of southwest.com. I surfed the mobile site for a while. I even looked at the mobile pdf schedules page. Southwest.com never detected that I was surfing from a laptop, not a mobile device since I loaded the page through skweezer. I think skweezer might fix both problems.
Works for me

Cool! This works!
Nice Bass Aggie.
Skweezer compressed the web site but it still does not bring up the mobile website.
Any other ideas on how to get it to work on PIE.

I'm using Summiter's last ROM:

Hi!
When I navigate on the web using Pocket Internet Explorer on my pda-phone I cannot have access to some forum or view via browser my mail account.
I call my phone provider (gsm/gprs) and they tell me that I must not have activate IE' popup block.
Where can I found this option?
Thanks!
w_S
Your phone provider has morons in technical support!
There is no such thing as "pop-up blocker" in PIE (Pocket Internet Explorer).
The reason you can not see many sites is because this browser is very limited, it can not handle java and other things many sites, particularly forums and mail need to display properly.
What you need to do is download the free minimo (mozila) browser. It can handle almost any site and has tabs and other goodies - the downside is it is extremely slow (heavy app).
haha
I had my suspicions about that...
When they tell me about popup a huge doubt grow in me!
I thought I'm wrong
...
But there is a strange thing. One of my friend have hp 6515 with Windows Mobile 2003se and he can access to one forum that I can't access with my xda! ...it's strange...
What do you think about opera?
Thank you,
w_s
i'm not sure what the deal is with your friend being able to browse the website while you can't, but i do highly recommend opera's latest beta. far and away a better browser than pie, with many more features such as tabs and flash support. most definitely one of, if not the, best for internet browsing on pocket pc.
here's the link for WM2003:

Or trying using Opera Mobile as your main browser.
If I try to go to the login screen on this website (http://www.alldatapro.com/includes/main.jsp) I return an error in android, however the page loads on a standard desktop. Any ideas on a fix? Maybe a proxy issue?

Try using another browser. I use Opera Mini 5 and have no issues on log in sites like I do with the Android browser
agreed. sometimes the android browser will either bring up and error, or just send me back to the login page. Try Opera
Opera mini does open the site. But it would be nice to use the native app. Where is proxy info stored for the browser? I have a feeling that is the hold up

To public WiFi like in Walmart I'm a able to connect to it but then I get this message on my browser when trying to search for something?
I tried turning it off and on but still have the same problem. My brothers were able to connect and browse just fine.

Does it work in Chrome?
The wifi is trying to redirect your phone to the signin page, but your browser sees it as a security problem and blocks it. There are a number of potential solutions to try. If you google for something like "open wifi popup can't connect" and similar to that, more will come up.
--Try temporarily disabling popups in Opera and get it to work.
--Clear the cache for Opera.
--For alternate browsers, try searching for something in Chrome and see if it redirects to the login page for you. Using Dolphin set to "Desktop" (vs. Mobile) may also work.
--Alternatively, when the login page comes up for your brothers, make a note of it and type it into Opera.
First post:
N7 2013 Android version 5.0.2 I can connect with their, any shops, wifi network but can't get to a log-in screen to accept their terms and "go" online. Using Firefox & Yahoo mail. Starbucks, McDonald, ect.
Is there an app or something that would "ask" for that page? There must be something simple I am missing....
Open to all suggestions!
Thanks for your help! Glenn
I have this issue on all my devices. I have installed a copy of opera and usually have to either close all the tabs in chrome, then reopen chrome and try to go to some general site. If that does not work i open opera and see if that browser catches the login.
Gotten much worst since 1.1.1.1 became a dns address as many portals use the same address...

Thank you for your response. This is a real pain in the... I can't believe this isn't an issue for ANYone using a Nexus7. And more disturbing is that there isn't a fix or app us. I mean isn't having a tablet for the portability and ease of remote access???
I love my N7 and it does everything I need Except logging into the net at coffee shops. Help!!!
