I am having issues in which the browser won't follow a link, or when it does it loses and login or other info (like where I am, preferences).
I often cannot do thing is different frames, like check boxes on a filter for a list, and what is displayed seems to be generic to all visitors.
If I "Open in a new tab" then I can open a link with the same info as in that browser page, but just clicking the links fails.
I am having this issue across browsers. I am using the stock ROM, with TWRP recovery, unlocked and rooted.
Any ideas?

What android version? What browser? Have you tried clearing the data and cache for the browser through app manager? Have you tried different browsers?
multiple browsers not following links

Using stock 4.3, tried different browsers (Chrome, Dolphin, stock browser).
It *seems* like my browsing was good for a while last night with stock browser, then started the same symptoms. Not sure if my struggle with desktop vs mobile sites had anything to do with it.
Do the browsers not keep information page to page if you request desktop site?

Do you have any ad blocker apps that you are using? Yes, the browsers should keep the information. Look under your browser settings under Privacy, Content Settings, etc and look that the options selected.
Another thought: you do have "Accept cookies" and "Enable JavaScript" checked?

I do because I am not as concerned about privacy issues on my tablet. There are less instances of viruses, malware, etc on Android. In addition, if I was to get malware, virus, etc., I can simply wipe the N10 and start over. For me personally, I look for the best overall user experience that provide me with the best performance and options.

Can only access mobile versions on many major sites... regardless if you use browsers that have desktop settings!
WTF SAMSUNG..... WHY DO YOU THINK WE OPTED FOR A BIGGER SCREEN???? THIS IS ONE MAJOR REASON. HELLO?
Man.. unreal.
Wondering if rooting in some way could enable circumventing this problem.
Actually might take it back for this.
Odd. using Dolphin HD i am able to change the user agent of the browser and browse either mobile or full version of the site.
Sometime after you change the user agent you need to clear your cookies and restart the browser. Have you tried this?

I just got it working like the post said above I clear cache, data, history in both stock browser and dolphin. Then opened dolphin and hit menu>settings>under dolphin setting select User Agent and select desktop. After doing that I was able to go to ESPN and CNN and it was finally not in mobile view.
I have a few browsers installed and everytime i open a page through the stock browser it keeps giving me the list of all available browsers to open the link with. Ticking the set as default option makes no difference, it will give me th choice of browsers again next time.
Any way of fixing this.
noobie here! also wants to know.. c",)

It seems its asking you the default action for "that particular action".
Example if you click a link to Facebook and it you select your preferred default choice, it will only do that for Facebook links.
How do I get my defy to always display websites in desktop format? I want desktop to be my default settings so that all sites load this way and never realize that I am surfing the web from a mobile phone. I am using the default browser and do not want to (and should not have to) download a new browser.
What I did: I went into my browser, went to about:debug, went to UA string, and changed my option to desktop. However, most pages still load the mobile sites.
Does anyone know how to fix this? My phone is rooted.
Also, I have a tmobile bookmark and it is displaying as locked. How would I unlock and delete this bookmark?

Here's what I tried. Open browser, go to settings > advanced > user agent and selected Desktop. I then opened a website which has an android app but it opened up the website instead of redirecting me to get the app. I then changed the setting back to Android, restarted the browser and tried the site again and this time it took me to the app page. I'm using quarx CM9 on red lens defy.

I do not have an option in settings for "advanced". Are you using a default browser?
Here's a quick guide how to set the browser to show desktop versions of websites. Images are from Honeycomb 3.2.
On my Nexus 7, Dolphin is my default browser. However, when using the Google search widget, results are displayed in Chrome, and not Dolphin. After the list of results is displayed, then the link opens properly in Dolphin.
This issue would not be so irritating if I could long-press on links in the initial page of results and choose to open the link in a new tab. However, that option is not available, for some reason, so if I want to view several links, I have to keep going back and forth from the initial results page. This is very irritating.
So, simple question: how can I get the Google search widget to open the initial results page in my default Dolphin browser? If this is not possible, then how can I get the links in the search results to open in a new tab?
Thanks for your help.
Still hoping to make this work
I'm still hoping someone can help me figure out how to ensure that search results using the handy Google search widget open in Dolphin browser, which I find to be far better than the stock browser. As I mentioned earlier, once I choose a link, that link opens in Dolphin. However, the search results page does NOT open in Dolphin, and I am unable open a search result in a new tab from the stock browser, which is irritating.
Any ideas?
Can you clear the defaults on either the search widget or the browser and reset them? Maybe that will get them to switch.

Thanks for your quick reply. Yes, I did clear the defaults, which I believe is why the search links open in Dolphin. However, the original search page stubbornly sticks with the inferior stock browser.
This is not a problem with the phone running ICS...just my Nexus 7.
Stock rom, rooted, 4.2.1. If you are rooted there is a way to remove Chrome as the default browser and place the default nexus browser (not chrome) from the nexus phone rom as default. I did this and Voice Search & Google Now open web searches in it. I side-loaded Flash and it works great with that browser. If you want to make Dolphin the default, I don't know about that.
If OP has rooted, stock Rom or otherwise and still has Chrome Browser - go to Store/Play to download free app called "AntTeh App Manager" and use it to freeze Chrome (thus, disabled it) That should allow Dolphin Browser to be the only one - boot into Custom Recovery & wipe dalvik cache to be sure, restart - and all searches should be going to the Dolphin.
I am using Boat Browser & Google Search and/or Voice Search, etc. will launch & show results in it. (rooted Stock 4.1.2 - franco kernel)
You can unfreeze Chrome & go back to it anytime as you wish as it's not deleted, just hidden & will no longer shown on the Apps list, unless re-enabled.
Hi. I have an SM-G950FD from UAE. It is working alright, and after putting in my Spanish SIM card I guess it adjusted properly since the ROM seems to be the Spanish one (screenshot with the SW info). Even Samsung Pay works correctly.
Now the only thing weird that is happening to me is that when I browse some websites like eBay, Paypal, Samsung website for managing the phone, they load in Russian. What surprises me is that should these websites show some foreign version, I guess it should be the UAE version not Russian. If I browse one of these websites that shows you your IP it's showing a Spanish IP.
Any ideas what is happening and how could I fix this? Thanks.
Is this an issue only with one browser?
Test the issue an try other browsers like G Chrome or Firefox to see if they load in Russian as well (they shouldn't).
All, check your browser's settings for any preferred language.

Thanks for your response. Now that you mention it: no, it only happens when browsing websites within other apps. I believe this web-browsing is done through Chromium. If I use Chrome or Firefox, it loads the correct versions of the websites.

Well, then it might of some specs, check your in-app settings, or your google play default country/language.

I haven't been able to find any kind of configuration set to Russian. Since this has happened to me in more than just one app, I guess this issue relates to Chromium, but I haven't find how to configure it.
If you can, do a factory reset and see if the problem persists.
Don't forget to backup your data and files before doing the reset

No luck with that either I guess that unless I flash another ROM I won't be able to get rid of this.
