mobile view in browser

Has anyone been able to turn off the mobile view in any browser? I have tried Opra and Dolphin disabling the mobile view in both and it still brings them up. In the stock browser there is no option to turn mobile view off.

I got it to work using dolphin by clearing cache, data, cookies, and history in both stock and dolphin browser. The opened dolphin browser and hit menu>settings>user agent then just selected desktop. I think the key was clearing everything first.

it simply does not work on any of the browsers. Even if you clear all cache and cookies.
I have tried BBC iPlayer and The Sun in the UK. You can get the full homepage if you clear all data but as soon as you click a story or link you are taken back to the mobile site.
This is an absolute JOKE! I bought this to do full websites. Even my HTC Desire 2.2 views full sites. Obviously Samsung have messed around with the browser so much that they have screwed it up. Fancy selling a tablet that can only view mobile sites!

Oh I forgot to add...you can type about:useragent in to the browser and switch to desktop but it makes no difference at all.

Hi mate,
I had this issue until I flashed a different FW..
As soon as I flashed an tested this out it works no more mobile sites for me.
All you need to do is flash FW JK1
Make sure you back your data up.

I've read some guides but they seem to suggest removing battery. Is there any easier way of doing this? I'm not prepared to open it. If I don't get full sites working soon, then I'm just taking mine back. Don't see the point in having it as my Desire does a better job at the moment.

As I said Gareth you dont need to open it..
Just re-flash it

I have been playing around for awhile now and it hasn't shown a mobile view since clearing everything out. I haven't checked the sites your referring to but on espn and cbs sports are all the full versions even after clicking on stories.

Ah ok. Do you know of any links/tutorials for me to do this. I searched on here earlier but the one i found suggested taking the tab apart, so maybe I was looking at the wrong info.

Yes - Here is the link to everything you need. Theres also a tutorial of how to flash using Odin at the bottom of the page (This is what I used)
You will need to register to gain access to this part of the site.
http://www.samfirmware.com/WEBPROTECT-p1000.htm
First thing you will need to do is download a few things from the page.
We need -
P1000XWJK1 ## P1.PIT Version 2.2 2010 November (Located in the Europe section at the bottom)
Then scroll to the bottom of the page and look for -
NEW Odin: DOWNLOAD Version 1.7
Once you have all the files in a folder on your desktop. Open up the Odin folder and extract and you will see 2 files Odin and a PIT file.
Open up Odin and look to the right load up the PIT file that was included in the folder.
You then need to extract the .tar file from P1000XWJK1 that you downloaded. Once you have extracted it go back to Odin and load the .tar file in to the PDA section an tick the box.
Now that were ready to flash you must prepare the tab -
You will need to take both sim card and SD card out before we do this.
Once both have been removed turn the device off. Now power back on holding Volume down + home key.
You should now be in download mode - This is a black and yellow screen with an Android bot stood in a triangle digging. Once you are at this stage you are ready to flash.
Double check that the only options checked are -
Auto Reboot
F. Reset Time
PDA
Once you are happy hit the start button. You should now see Odin doing its thing and also the tab will show a progress bar. Once flashed you can check if the flash was successful by checking with *#1234#
As always
Remember to back up anything important that is stored on the phones memory as this may be lost during the flashing process.
Hope this helps

thanks mklass.
I followed your instructions and everthing is now working fine. I had to switch the useragent to Desktop but it now stays in Desktop mode and I'm able to view things like the full BBC iPlayer.
Thanks again.

I have been able to to view all pages in mobile and "full web experience" using dolphine, skyfire, default and opera mobile. Some times i have to diable mobile view on a per-site basis (like wikipedia). But aslong as i have cookies on they keep loading normaly.
Ps: the speed of opera is just mindblowing to me!

You may not see any advantage now, however, as more and more developers get a hold of this device they will start launching custom ROM's that speed up and improve the performance plus add more features to the device like we've seen on the Galaxy S devices.

Glad I could help you guys out.
As for the reason for flashing -
Quite a few people including myself were unable to view 'full' websites and kept be re-directed to the mobile version of the site. Even when the UA String is set to desktop mode in any browser the Tab would still still load up the mobile site. I heard that some people had this issue and others didn't.
I'd say that unless you have this issue there's not really any need to flash just yet.

ah i see.. ty for the answers guys

opera Mini right?

No, opera mobile. It was released less than a month ago. I recomend it strongly! You can find it in the marketplace.
The only thing it is missing is the google search integration wich gives "the google instant" experience.
If i need to view flash videos outside of youtube i use skyfire since it has a optimizing feature for flash videos. Rest of the time i use operamobile. It makes the browsing, scrolling, zooming and loading comparable to the ipad, if not bether.
I used to browse on a n900. Compared to this device with opera, what a joke the n900 is.
So if anybody is worried abot slugish browser on the tab (wich is true for the default browser); know that opera mobile more than fixes that problem.

I have no problems unless it's certain filehosts. Filesonic doesn't work for me, but megashare, megaupload do. Direct links always work.

Use firefox, firefox beta or even opera browsers. They will all let you download practically anything. Even from sites like filesonic or whatever else you can throw at them. It appears that the stock browser, dolphin, and a few others are based on a certain type of tech that limits these types of capabilities.

@Formula84 Its better for not. We check download stats how lower the downloads no new files comming.
Attached is ODIN 1.85 and instructions thanks to crawrj for the files.
Code:
IMPORTANT: Make sure you have installed the proper XP or Win7 drivers before starting. Also, remove the SD card from the phone (this may not be necessary, but having the SD card installed has caused Odin to fail for a number of people, so might as well just do it).
1. Extract the contents of the zip file to a folder
2. Open odin
3. Put your phone in download mode (Shut it off, wait for lights to all go out, then hold 1 on the keyboard while powering up)
4. connect phone (you should see odin put a Com4 or something like that in the first box. The actual number is NOT important what is important is something popped up there when you connected your device, meaning ODIN can see it)
5. The only box that should be checked is Auto Reboot.
6. You do not need to choose a pit file.
7. In the PDA Section choose the tar file. (Should be the sph-d700-****-8Gb-REL.tar)
8. Hit start. It will do its thing.
9. If it fails than try a new cable.
10. If the phone hangs for any reason take the battery and sdcard out and let it sit for an hour. Put it back together and try again.
Check this quote out...its the available ram from previous epic firmware.

Sweet so this build offers a ram increase of 20 mb in issuable ram, pretty sweet. It reports 362 usable

Good work in changing the title slightly. I was about to make a bug thread as I figured it was going to start at some point in time. I haven't put a single leak on my phone yet, but I might depending on the initial reactions of this one.

Did they strip out the debug stuff? That may be why its so small...dling now

Very nice

Flashing now. Ill report back in a little while. You might want to add to the op that the tar needs to be extracted twice. once to get it out of the folder and once again when you have it on the desktop. If you notice once its extracted the first time it has a .7z extension on the end of it.

You MUST odin this in the PDA slot. It kept hanging at FactoryFS when using Phone slot.

By having mirror we will not be giving them a true number of following users of their release.
Hotfile is fast and the wait is 15 sec.
Maybe if you are going to this you can keep track of the downloads for the next couple days and give them feedback via twitter.

I don't think the bandwidth is limited, only the amount of storage you can use. I've only added about 200 MB of storage so far, and I've had numerous downloads. Still says I have 4.8 GBs left.

As for bugs. INstalled GPS Status right off the bat and was only getting 2-3 sats locked. Did the cleared the modem memory http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1226074 when I flashed CWM in Odin and now I'm getting 5 sats.
Nevermind. Busybox did install and showed up after I rebooted.
After flashing Su it looks like I have root. I can't install Busybox even though the installer says I'm rooted.I can delete system apps with Root Explorer and Titaniaum Backup.

I just remember the ERA guys put their ROM on dropbox at first, and it got stopped when they exceeded bandwidth. At least, I thought that was the case but I could be wrong.

[GUIDE] Download Firmware with resumable link yourself...

We know that sammobile provides all the firmwares, but those are not always resumable and generally break...
So found a small trick to create resumable links for download...
It's not a trick, just a feature of UC Browser to provide free online storage...
Steps:
1. Install UC Browser and sign in or register for UC ID.
2. Log in to UDisk to get started with free storage.
3. Go to Sammobile and click on the firmware download button.
4. When download popup comes, click on 'Cloud Download' in UC Browser and save the file in Permanent or Temporary Storage
NOTE: Permanent Storage is 2GB, and Temporary is 4GB. Temporary storage deletes file after 7 days, until you renew the file before 7 days.
5. Go to UDisk to download from UC Browser, or use link below to download from PC with IDM or any other downloader support.
Requirements:
1. UC Browser
2. UC Disk link for desktop
UDisk takes approx 10-30 mins to download the firmware to its server, after which it can be downloaded by you. Check UDisk download status in Cloud Download in UDisk.
Tested on:
sammobile
mediafire
hotfile
google drive
dropbox
and many others...
P.S. This is not a new method... Only for those who struggle to download huge firmware files or even other files from Sharing Websites which do not support RESUME...
Clarification : I am not connected to UC in any form, neither am i endorsing its use... Just sharing a method i found to save my limited data connection and get resumable links for uninterrupted downloading even if connection gets cut due to power failure...

great idea! +1

it's just a gimmick to download the crappy unneccessary UC Browser. it's only marketing trick, forget this thread and UC products

I am in no way connected to UC... I had failed download of 4.3 firmware 2 times at 97% and 99% and hence i was desperate to find out a resumable link myself... this i found to be working so shared...

Thanks for sharing. Dl speed for sammobil is horrible

Please don't use crappy, sketchy download sites that push borderline malware and want access to my social network accounts! XDA allows you to attach files, including ZIP archives, directly to your posts. There is no excuse for sending somebody to that atrociously bad excuse for a website. Don't do it again.

excuse me sir, which link do you refer to?
some software may detect it, as a malware etc. do you learn the internet?
poor developer perhaps? or maybe you want to promote your site/profile?
do some researches before make any conclusion..

Your English is really hard to understand (though probably better than I am at your native language). With that said, the idea of a 60-post user suggesting that I am a "poor developer" and don't know the Internet is... kind of hilarious. I take it you're new around here?
www.4shared.com is (like nearly all of its sort) an extremely sketchy website, full of tracking links and popup advertising. It may not actually be malicious but I wouldn't trust anything downloaded from a site like that unless I had no other choice. It also wants me to sign in, preferably with a social networking site (more tracking!) before letting me download. That is, in a word, unacceptable. In fact, it violates the forum rules:
• Off-site downloads are permitted if the site is non-commercial and does not require registration.

EDIT: I'd post the file from that link myself, after verifying it to be safe, but I'm not going to sign into that site to do it. If you want people to follow your steps, host the file here on XDA.

Why is One tutorial posted 3-4 times with the same steps and files. I think its clearly mentioned in one of the earlier posts of how this tutorial works. Kids just trying to get some fame here. :/
