Hello,
I need to open website, which can be accessed just from computers (well, if you want to access it for free). I just want to ask if there is any browser for Android which acts like you are accessing the internet from PC?
this is not based on IP address, because using wifi makes no difference... Anyone able to help on this?
Thanks!
Why don't u tether to your computer and use chrome or explorer or firefox?

You may use the default browser.
Just go into menu (inside the browser) -> more -> settings -> user agent -> DESKTOP
Enjoy!

Well, I can't see user agent -> DESKTOP there... If you mean the option Mobile view -> this wasn't ticked before (i tried it as first thing), but still no joy

OK.
go to browser and visit page "about:debug"
Now go to menu, settings inside browser. There will be an option "UA String". Change to desktop
in most android browsers you have an option called "mobile view" or something in that context. disable it.

I'm trying out Opera Mobile to replace Dolphin.
How do you set the default Homepage so that Opera always opens up to my choice of Homepage instead of the Opera default?
I've tried setting Home Page, and also Home URL in opera:config. Neither seemed to work (and I did save and restart).
Any clues?
I'm having trouble with this also.
(bump)
RE:
I'd like to know as well, Opera is the best...

We're not asking how to make Opera your default browser. We're asking how do you set the homepage in Opera?
There's a box in about:config that says something like "Default Homepage" where you can enter a web address, but it doesn't actually do anything. The browser still starts at Speed Dial.

It worked for me: typed "opera:config" in URL address bar. Scolled down to User Prefs/Home URL and typed in igoogle homepage, clicked on Save, exited browser, clicked on Advanced Task Killer and killed running tasks, clicked on Opera Mobile and at first it will show the opera start page but quickly darkens and igoogle opens right up.

Tried it...didn't work for me...

I followed your direction exactly...but when I re-opened Opera Mobile after using ATK to shut it down, it opened back on the opera:config page. I didn't even get it to open to the normal Opera start page. Its not a huge deal to use that, I would just prefer to use my iGoogle page as a home page.
Anyway, any suggestions? I am also using an Asus Transformer. However, I am running HoneyComb 3.2 and it is not rooter.

I tried rebooting my Transformer. When I opened Opera Mobile, it opened to the normal Opera start page and then went dark like you mentioned. However, it didn't go to iGoogle, it went back to the opera:config page. Any ideas?
Open facebook.com with Dolphin browser HD. It starts out in mobile. There are three menus on the top. Choose More. At the bottom it says Desktop site. Click on that. Ta da! Full blown Facebook on the HTC Flyer.
If everybody already knew this: sorry but I've seen this annoy multiple people on various forums so thought I would share.
Does it work for the default browser?
Yes.

This is ok. But lame that i have to do it everytime and also doesn't stay in desktop mode for all things. Constantly it switches back to mobile version. I want a permanent fix to always be in desktop.....
Opera Mobile
I use Opera Mobile and used this thread (See post #3) and it always does the full site.
I use Dolphin Browser HD and set as desktop in the setting. I can even play RC facebook game in it.

No
It works very easily !!!!
Just open the browser > Menu > More > Settings > MOBILE VIEW `must be ticked`
While this is ticked , goto facebook site and Press MORE on the Facebook Page, then goto DESKTOP VIEW
That`s it

Lame. I don't wanna have to do this everytime. I'll try the opera browser. Sucks, cuz i like the default browser so far.
You can try firefox browser and download one of its addon called phony. it allows users to change the user-agent that is sent out. once installed you can go into preferences and look for user agent and change it to desktop firefox/microsoft IE and WALA! facebook displays as if you are surfing on a desktop.
And this setting is saved, so you need not change it everytime.
Does the chat function work when browsing to the facebook desktop site? That was one of the things I liked about the android app was that they had added the ability to chat.
Desktop Toggles plugin for Dolphin HD
There is a Dolphin HD plugin which toggles between mobile and desktop. Find it in the android market. I leave mine set to desktop and it seems to start in that mode everytime I fire up the browser.
Also like the morning coffee plugin.
In Dolphin HD, menu -> more -> settings -> Dolphin Settings -> User Agent -> Desktop
Then no matter what site you open, it will always open the desktop version of any website you visit, and you don't have to repeat the process every time, it stays the same even after you exit Dolphin HD.
Greetings:
My iPhone 4 load yahoo web page in full. When I switch to SGS2, it always default to mobile web page. Is there a way to correct this? I google and look through the phone browser menu but can't find anything. I turn off "open page in overview" and set my home page to Yahoo! to no avail.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Not in the stock browser without rooting and moding it.
Try dolphin HD or opera mobile, they don't have the gpu acceleration but they are still damn fast and let you set mobile view on or off.

I install Dolphin HD. I am able to load full web page now.
After my pain-in-the-arse experience of trying to get Dolphin Browser HD 7 installed on my Streak this morning, I thought I would share my experience and solution for those who may have similar problems.
Background:
Put simply, Dolphin HD 7 is exclusive to getjar at the moment. Browsing to the GetJar site using dolphin 6.x presents you with the desktop version of the site even when UAString is set to Android in settings. In this fashion, clicking "download" on the Dolphin page presents a "select your device" window. Entering "Dell Streak" presents the Streak as a device to select. Selecting the picture, however, does absolutely nothing no matter how many times you tap it!
Using the desktop site on a desktop browser gives the same window, but this time it "works" but says to browse to m.GetJar.com on mobile browser and select "quick download" at the bottom. Even the stock android browser redirects to either the desktop version or Dolphin browser (if Dolphin is set to default)
Solution:
So, here's how I finally got it to work (this guide assumes that you do NOT already have the GetJar "application" installed):
1) Go to settings => Applications => Manage Applications and make sure that there are no defaults for browser applications
2) open app drawer and open Browser (stock Android browser)
3) in the address bar enter about:debug and press "go"
4) press Menu key => More => Settings
5) scroll down to UAString and select Froyo-N1
6) in the address bar enter m.GetJar.com (if at any time it asks for a browser choice, always select stock browser unless otherwise mentioned)
7) at bottom of page select "quick download" (this link will not be there if UAString is set to "Android")
8) enter 40963 and press "download" (or replace with the quick download code of your desired app if different)
9) if you're lucky it should send you to the Dolphin HD 7 ptoduct page. Press "Dowload" and it should prompt you to download and sideload the GetJar APK. Do this.
10) Ignore the GetJar "application" in the app tray, it's just a web portal that ALSO defaults to the desktop version and so cannot download anything on Gingerstreak 2.4!
11) Go back to stock Browser (if you have not closed it, you UAString should still be Froyo-N1, if not, repeat steps 3, 4 and 5). Repeat steps 6, 7 and 8
12) this time when you tap "download", it should give you the option to open the link in "Browser" or "GetJar". Select GetJar
13) Hopefully, fingers crossed, it will now download and install the application!
Obviously, the standard "your experience may vary" applies, but that was the only way I could get it to work on my Streak with Gingerstreak 2.4 this morning...
If anyone knows of an easier way to do this, please do say!
thanks for the tip,..but what i do is more simple,..download Dolphine7, put it in sdcard, and tap it to install from root explorer, after i uninstall dolphine6.
but atleast i know now how to get Getjar,..thanks.
edit : oh btw,..i use GS 2.4 too.

Well that's my confusion, really. How did you download Dolphin 7 when it's currently exclusive to GetJar?
idk for sure,...just followed a link that was provided in my email spam box (sorry dolphine).
You are Mistaken...

it is there now, it was exclusive to GetJar when I first posted!
I seem to be having a bit of an issue with setting my Internet homepage.
On my other phones I have always been able to go into settings and set my default Page as Google. Co. UK.
I can see the option to do this however when I click on the Internet icon it doesn't load Google. It either just stays on a Page that says 'about blank ' or if I set in the options to use default it loads up an orange website Page. I don't know why it's doing this as I have generic firmware on it (flashed the latest this afternoon) so how orange is the default seems really odd.
Anyhow, basically I want to be able to hit the Internet icon and then the Page that opens is the Google search engine Page.
Any ideas?

-Create a google bookmark
-go to bookmarks list
-hold finger down on google bookmark
-select set as home page option
Hmm, I did as you have suggested however what happens is if for instance I have clicked on the Internet option which opens a tab the first tab that opens is the about blank one. If I then click to open a new window/tab then it opens with the Google Page as I wanted but it then means I have 2 tabs open. On my HTC and other android phones I have owned when I have set my home Page the first Page that opens when I click the Internet icon is what I set it too.
Seems daft that I am having to open it then open a second tab to get what I want.
Must be a bug

kill the browser task from memory, and relaunch it
You could just use the Google search widget as opposed to the internet icon.
