While browsing on here I noticed some sites that have mobile versions with no link to switch to desktop stay in mobile mode even when the user agent is changed to desktop. I wondered if this is a Sprint thing or Epic problem?

"about:debug" w/o the quotes. then press enter. nothing on the screen will change, press menu> settings and choose user agent string

Isn't this a cookies thing?
what site?
I do notice some sites still go to m.********.com
but sites like google and facebook dont seem to be an issue to me
try dumping the nav cache the cookies and if all else fails. Make a backup and restore to stock to see if it is a problem with your rom.
if it works on stock then ok. if not maybe there is a problem with your rom.
P.S.
dont forget to sign out of any site that you are signed into
I'm stock no root or custom yet(waiting for 2.2) but Chase website and Tube8(nsfw) among other flash based sites. Now I don't have flash but some sites offer flv/mp4 downloads which I can play.

I had this issue as well. Here's how I solved it
Type about:debut in the address bar then hit enter (you won't see it do anything)
Go to Settings, change UAString to Desktop
Check the option for Normal Rendering about 5 settings up
Now all sites come up in the full version for me.
thanks los...

Did that but it still goes to mobile on certain sites. I also recently tried using a frame like when you translate a page the url at the top is say google translate but you're somewhere else but couldn't find one that allows pages to load properly (the mentioned example being the mobile site lol and couldn't translate pages). Next thing for me to try is a web proxy but this method and the one before definitely won't serve me for practical use, so at this point I'm just seeing what works.

ok well I rooted mytouch 4g last week and loaded Royal Glacier V 1.3. I tried to use wi-fi tethering both the one pre-installed on my phone and the open garden wifi tether but it both says my wi-fi's been block my tmobile. I am curious to know is there any way around this? I am sure someone already posted a post, but I was wondering if they could point me in the right direction. Thanks.

Do that, and don't post questions in the development section. I believe questions should go in the questions section.
hmm I'm on cm 7 and I was still able to wi-fi tether my dell streak 7 tab just fine.. I'm on the android preferred plan.. idk if that makes any difference. I havent tried tethering it to my laptop but wifi tether to another android device is still working for me
Thats because your android tablet internet ua string is "android"...
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
so I attempted to my homework and so far all i got was either enhanceie.com and follow those instructions or goto internet explorer on my phone put in "about:debug" and found the UA string in my IE changed it to desktop but wifi tethering still wouldn't work
Ive had the same market problem that many have had. Apps wont dowload and all i get is the orange triangle. After swearing at this phone for a few weeks now, and trying everything I could think of and searching forums until my head hurt, I uninstalled the market update and went back to the old version. After trying to download an app, the same thing happened, but now it says "download paused, waiting for wifi". I did notice last week when I was at a hotel that it worked as long as I was on a wifi connection. So my question is this - is there a setting or something that we all have set wrong, or did the new update take it upon itself to only let us use the market when on wifi?

Hi,
I was setting up this phone for my brother. Was surprised to see no root, roms, or unlocking as this is a really nice phone for the price.
I'm not a super gung ho android dev, but I have some reverse engineering experience so I'm gonna see if I can make some shellcode run on an apk or library with root perms and get a root shell running. No promises.
Anyway: If you want tethering, the Power Toggles app will turn on the hotspot without checking to see if you have hotspot account permissions on Boost. Set it up in the More Settings part of Android's Settings, it is the built-in Android tethering code.
Hi sorry for my English, can you explain what is the power toogle app is,thanks

You can use Power Toggles, or if hot spot is all you want you can use HotSpot Toggle. You have to add them as widgets.
Way people keep giving a options without testing first that work, the thetering not work on boost mobile
Sent from my 306SH using XDA Free mobile app
On 305SH, if you setup "Nova" Launcher and you create a shortcut, you select "Activities" and go in the list and select "Settings", and Inside "Thetering & Hotspot" :
You will have a menu to allow you tethering Bluetooth or Wifi.
It works great with 305SH (I tryed bluetooth).
Yes, with some programs tethering is active but teams are not conecting to the internet, is blockage for the operator in the case of 306 is boost mobile or sprint, someone will know how to disable this block

This didn't actually work for me. i had two "Tethering & Hotspot" options within settings but they both came up with the subscribe menu. the power toggles method however, did work.
Yes, I think we need Root access for that

foxfi works
Paid app called foxfi works for WiFi/USB tethering. Bluetooth tethering untested. Runs around $5 has a trail version with data caps for tethering. PDA net reqired on PC for USB tethering. No root required.
---------- Post added at 02:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:53 AM ----------
I use my aquos as a WiFi dongle for my laptop router>(WiFi)>aquos>(USB thether)>PC
I've used it spairingly as a WiFi hotspot so if boost sends you messages quarrying into how your using hotspot and why your not paying for it and any possible consequences that may occur is on you, I'm not responsible.
---------- Post added at 02:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:01 AM ----------
Would also like to clarify 306sh on boost mobile. Only tested on that network (obviously that model). So results may vary. Just use the Fofxi sprint app, you purchase a key to unlock paid version for regular and sprint I.e. one time buy for both versions on 1 google account=possible no root solution to free hotspot on multiple devices down the road . (I'm assuming it works with sprints but they charge overages so unless your somehow still grandfathered in to an unlimited plan I'd recommend against it) that works with boost, Straighttalk (Walmarts Tracphone plan), and virgin mobile, that I've tested, but is a hit or miss on phone models, so far only phone I've seen it work on KitKat so yay sharp for not caring about blocking app permission to hotspot toggle, don't update you might lose feature from app and have to wait till root.
Another's person can confirm that with boost Mobile and how I can do
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Free mobile app
Tried this before I saw this thread. Got the app because I didn't realize it would be such a pain in the ass to access toggles from a phone interface compared to my Nexus 7. Anyway, set it all up, input everything correctly and ... No internet access via the hotspot. Doesn't work.
306SH on Boost
I.FIGURED SINCE I FIGURED OUT A SORT OF TETHER ID POST HERE..
On phone must download pdanet
And on tablet pdanet tablet.
Use Bluetooth option and it works.speed test on my tablet was only at about .5mbps but satisfactory for browsing.

Is that a free app and does it work after latest update, foxfi (part of pdanet) works as well. My guess is the same reason but is a paid app so this seems much more promising since its free. Someone was saying it wasn't working for them but its worked fine for me, but I have yet to get the new update that came out (only update so far), does yours work after update, if so IMA update and test my luck with foxfi. Either way thanks for the heads up. And yes I was a little shocked at the lack of development for this phone as well, sharps got it on lock down.

If you want to continue to use stock room, and need hot spot, there is a trick using the app shortcut master from the market where you just have to edit 1 line . It works on LG g2 and g3 (I used it). If anyone wants to try, I'll look for a link to the directions.

Good work. That is exactly what I was referring to. Thank you. I hadn't seen the request. I have no idea if it would work on HTC 10. But, it doesn't seem like a huge stretch that it would.

No good. Those values don't show up in shortcut master.
Anyone had any luck with this? I can't find the file that OMJ is talking about to save my life. I don't see any attachments.
I've tried editing my build.prop and I've tried editing the default xml to change the rules and enforcement to 0.
The latter DID let the hotspot start for me. Other devices can connect. But they never get network connectivity.
Can anyone help me confirm what I'm missing?
Fabio Grasso's WiFi Tether app works for me on the 10.

I can't get it to work on mine! I've achieved root, installed the app, matched all the settings up....no internet connection. It's strange, my Ipad can see the network and it says it's connected. As soon as I connect it though I lose internet connection on both devices, can't load a single web page. Did you have this issue at all or would you have any idea what would cause this? I'm at my wits end with it, and I've used this app for 2 years on my M8.

HAH. I couldn't get it to work with this app (not initially anyway). I turned to his site to check if there were settings already available to use for the HTC 10 because it couldn't auto-detect the wifi adapter name. On his site, it says HTC users need to uninstall "TetherGuard" - system app.
Did that, figured I'd reboot and try the built in tethering which now works beautifully. Got it still within my refund window for Wifi Tether Router.
So some combination of what I posted above plus UNINSTALL TETHERGUARD! And life's good now. Thanks much.

It didn't give me the option to uninstall, just disable. I did that and tweaked with a few more things and that seemed to fix it. Fingers crossed!

You can use Titanium Backup to uninstall TetherGuard since you're rooted, instead of just disabling it.
Anyone want to post the specific changes/tweaks they've done? I've done changes to build.prop and default.xml (using the various settings found all over XDA) and also disabled/removed TetherGuard, but I'm still stuck at hotspot enabling but no data connection for any connected devices (data still works for the phone while hotspot is on though).
