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.

[Q] Galaxy Tab 10.1, CM10 4.1.2 Jelly Bean Rom, A1 Kernel

I think the CM10 Jellybean rom 4.1.2. is stable enough for daily use. Packed with A1 Kernel 1.7.4b build pushes the tab's performance more, due to the GPU overclocking . The issue i found so far is that the MTP does not work, even when the MTP setting is clicked, updating the drivers, uninstalling the device from device manager, and installing again. When re-flahsed using the default CM10 4.1.2 Beta4, MTP is working fine again.
Anyone has any fix for this ?

Hi There, thank you for your time in replying. Appreciate that. I did check the control panel , printers sounds setting, but all i can see is the Samsung Android Device (modem) nothing else. There are no undefined hardware in my control panel.
I do transfer right now file to and from my 10.1 through Wifi Explorer Pro. A bit slow, but it works.
Probably, i will flash a CM10 kernel, or revert back to the CM10 Beta 4 and wait for A1 Kernel probably to notice this issue.

By the way, anyone who can post to XDA on A1 kernel p7500 regarding this issue? My account is so weak it's only limited to Q/A Forum and general facts.

Issue with Play Store - Jelly Bean ROM
Hi
First off, I flashed my GTP7500 Galaxy Tab 10.1 with the new JB ROM after having had issues with getting applications to update/download from Play Store. I tried everything before flashing, from deleting and re-adding my back-up account, to flushing the app cache and downgrading the Play Store app to an earlier version. Nothing worked. Then when I flashed the new JB ROM, I accidently used the WiFi-only version. Everything worked fine, I just didn't have 3G. So I went back to the drawing board and flashed the correct version, using TWRP's version. Now, I am back to square one with Play Store not downloading/updating any apps. The progress bar just scrolls, and then eventually times out. My only question is, why would it work without any hassles in the Wifi-ONLY version, but not in both the official release of ICS and un-official JB? Could someone please help me with this, as I have absolutely no more answers left
Thanx

Gallery issue
I have an issue, the gallery cant detect pics that were moved using root explorer.
So this is what happened:
1. downloaded some images via browser (all downloaded images are in download folder in root)
2. grouped all of them in a folder via root explorer (all downloaded images are in download/foldername
3. opened the gallery, it cannot find that folder, and shows a album called "download" with the pictures except they are all blank(black icons).
Can anyone verify this and if anyone has a fix for this pls tell me thx.
I wanted to use multilive wallpaper so i need downloaded pics grouped for separate homescreens... not using gallery will cause slow downs...

polaris office does not work
y doesnt polaris office work on this rom?

Android webview not loading images.

I am loading a SharePoint page into a webview using LoadUrl. All the other content comes down but not the images. If I use a Gingerbread phone or on the emulator all comes down fine. Anything above that ICS JB then the page loads without the images for this particular site. The site requires a cookie to login but that part is working fine its just once you get past the login page the next page is correct minus the images

Are you sure the images on the webpage are loaded through <img/> html tags and not through javascript ?
If they aren't then add this method to your webview :
Code:
mWebView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);

[NST/G] FBReader "My personal catalog" and sync--cacerts update

cacerts.bks file updated 12-6-20
On May 30, 2020 another certificate in our ancient cacerts.bks file expired. This was one of the certificates used by FBReader to sync with a Google Drive directory of your designation (see books.fbreader.org). I'm assuming at this point that it was the critical certificate in the link because not long ago it was possible to work around login issues as described in my earlier post here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/nook-touch/general/setting-sync-fbreader-t3957311
I was contacted by another XDA member about this issue and noticed in a logcat that the certificate had expired. I have never had any luck updating certificates, despite the description of the process by XDA member @tshoulihane. It took many a year for the basics to penetrate my thick skull and I finally decided to look at it again. I will prepare a post on this topic in a bit so the information won't die with me
Meanwhile, I have updated both certificates in a cacerts file I extracted from a Honeycomb ROM and have been using on all my NST devices. It also includes the updated Amazon certificate so the Kindle app still functions. It contains many more certificates than the file that came with the NST (some expired). At least now I see a way forward.
To update your file, download the zip below and extract the cacerts.bks file. Transfer to the SD card of your NST and then use a file manager with root privelages to copy it into /system/etc/security, overwriting the file that is already there. If you feel queasy about this, first rename the old cacerts.bks file to cacerts.bak, then move the new one in place. File permissions should be rw-r-r
Reboot.
No need for the workaround I wrote about in the earlier post now. I tried this with both Opera Mobile and Opera Mini, signed in on both browsers before starting. Opera Mini failed. Opera Mobile, with the appropriate settings for TLS 1.2 etc. as I have described in another post, balked a little but succeeded. And once you are signed in, you never need to go back to the browser (I think).
Here's what may happen:
1. You may sail through the sign-in process from FBReader (Network Library>FBReader book network) and see your file information appear. Done.
2. More likely than not you will get an "unable to establish a secure connection" or similar. This is a sadly common occurrence in Opera Mobile these days and has been roundly trounced on old Opera discussion boards. There appears to be no fix for it except to access the "Settings" window (from the "O" button). Then go to "Privacy" and then "Clear cache". Now back out of the Settings windows (Back button) and finally hit the "refresh" icon. Voila. This is a general "fix" for pages which don't want to load properly even though you have a valid certificate. I've tried running a script to delete the Opera cache before opening Opera but to no avail. Sometimes you are lucky (especially if you have not encountered any errors in a session before exiting), sometimes you are not. Like I say, once you get past this with FBReader, you should not need to go through it again. Just remember, you want to be signed in with your email, etc. on the Google homepage (the same account for your Google drive you set up with FBReader) before you go through all this.
I tested this with FW 1.2.2, but not 1.2.1

Hello!
Thanks a lot for this information, I was struggling with exactly this yesterday and came here to post this issue, but you already have a solution.
I installed Opera Mini v7.6.4 but couldn't connect to FBReader, so I tried to use the default browser and voilà. Now it's working again.
Thanks again, I really thought it was impossible to fix lol.
I haven't checked if kindle app is working, but it surely does.
Thank you!

How does one install or enable a file manager with root access? I've been googling for hours now and it's such a broad topic that I just can't for the life of me figure it out

If your device is rooted, then you just need a "good" file manager. The version of ES File Explorer I use has an option for enabling root access. Attached.

Ah, that's the release version I have installed, I'll try and find the option, couldn't spot it earlier but that gives me hope
many thanks

Cheers, that's got me on a step or two, I think I just need to disable two step verification next as opera or the standard browser is repeatedly doing the 'failed connection' thing you mention at that stage, lightly infuriating, but at least I'm getting closer to getting my fbreader library back, many thanks!

The stock browser is useless. For Opera Mobile don't neglect to make the TLS 1.2 change and, of course, update cacerts.bks

Ah great thanks, I've found that TLS thread, I'll do that and hopefully that'll be it!
nice one @nmyshkin

OMG It's done, im back into the network library on my ancient nook!
thanks so much, months of trying allsorts, nice one, thank you!
