Hello everyone,
I'm looking for a way to change my HTC HD2's default search engine from google mobile to classic google. Both on the Internet tab on Sense and both on Opera's search.
Anyone knows how to do it?
Thanks in Advance, HTCOmnipotent
for the search box on the tab

for opera read up on changing the custom useragent.
Manilla solution works, But I've already changed my user-agent and it's not working.
I believe that it's because it doesn't search in google but sends a query to Opera's site which redirects to google mobile. The question is if there's a way around it?
Thanks for the quick reply, HTCOmnipotent.
i use opera 9.7 and just tested with custom user agent
Opera/9.80 (J2ME/MIDP; Opera Mini/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en) AppleWebKit/886; U; en) Presto/2.4.15
gives real google.
i think some opera versions as you say use the opera proxy, and isn't there a turbo mode in opera mini? think that would have the same effect.
however, i can't see that would matter, (other than for location dependant services) the proxy "should" pass on the user agent it gets given.
Maybe, but the redirecting link will always link to the mobile version. It's a server side thingy, has nothing to do with the user-agent.
heh well in that case all i can suggest is use opera 9.7, works for me
If you ARE on 9.7 then its something else.

Hello!I have a very hard question.
I need to set a custom user agent for that player.
My problem is this:
for example this webtv
http://mediapolis.rai.it/relinker/relinkerServlet.htm?cont=983
I can watch with vlc in pc only if set this in http(s)-user agent http
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.0.6) Gecko/2009020911 Ubuntu/8.10 (intrepid) Firefox/3.0.6
How can I set this for open link with tcpmp or coreplayer?
thanks
Hi fenomeno83,
I found a way to transform in IPod agent,maybe can be useful for you:
http://ita.sourceforge.net/
and another:
http://www.teavuihuang.com/massstorsync/
maybe the IPod agent has priority allways over the TCPMP agent or other application
o other solution is to call Opera from webtv and apply this trick:
http://www.djtachyon.com/index.php?...-the-motorola-q&catid=37:motorola-q&Itemid=37
I think the previous sugestions do not work.
I could not find the way tcpmp manage the user agent, not even changing in the registry (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Internet Settings/5.0/User Agent) the different keys, it seems it does not affect not even internet explorer mobile...
Howevere, I found a SOLUTION:
Using opera, you can change the user agent string: type "opera:config" in the Opera address bar and press ENTER, then scrolling down to the group "Network" you find the user agent string. It is not necessary to write down your entire string, I used for example, in place of the previuos one
SAMSUNG-SGH-i900/1.0 Opera 9.5
the following
SAMSUNG-SGH-i900/1.0 (compatible; Opera 9.5; Linux i686; it)
It seems, having made vatious tries, that what is important is only that "Linux i686".
Now you can type, or bookmark, the link you quoted (to the national italian tv web streaming) and open it succesfully in tcpmp!
P.S. as you could guess, I'm using a Samsung Omnia with windows mobile 6.1
P.P.S. if it's useful, the user agent can be checked in

Hi This my name is Camillo.
i have a question about my Hd2.
The problem is that if i am on the internet i always been directed to the mobile page, but isnt there a way so that i can go to the normal webpage. i wil really make things a lot easyer. sorry about my inglish. thank you in advance.
Your browser identifies itself as beeing a mobile device.
It is a service of the site to direct you to theit mobile version: less data transfer, less use of flash, silverlight and that kind of stuff.
Mostly those sites have a button to see the original site often at the top or at the bottom of the page.
Other possibility is to change your User Agent string (opera:config) to "Opera/9.64(Windows NT 5.1; U; en) Presto/2.1.1" (without quotes) note original user agent string before changing, so you can revert.
This identifies as a windows opera browser, but possibly websites will not be full functioning.
Also from the settings of the browser
tank you, but can you explain how to.do this to change the string
Just do what I do. Keep Google as a homepage and at the bottom of the page there is a mobile and 'classic' option, click the Classic and you are sorted.
There are registry fixes, but I can never be bothered to change the values and strings.
i have used the google option and it worked like a charm. tank you all for your time and answers.
in opera when i go to a site such as google.com or facebook.com it takes me to a mobile version of the site instead of the full site. so instead of facebook.com, i get taken to (m.)facebook.com . ive searched around the options in opera (v. 9.7) and the only thing i see is "mobile view", and i have it unchecked. can someone help?
bump for help and great justice!
In the Hints & Tips thread, tip 36 tells you how to change the User Agent for Opera. It is this that tells websites whether it should load the mobile of full version. I don't know what to change it to to get everything in full view but it's a start.
36. Get BBC iPlayer Mobile Website Working on HD2
The current Opera 9.7 version on the HD2 is not detected by the BBC iplayer website. Here is a modifcation to Opera preferences you can do to get it to work.
HLKM/Software/Opera/Prefs/User Prefs/Custom User-Agent
Change from HTC_HD2_T8585 Opera/9.7 (Windows NT 5.1; U; en) to HTC_Touch_HD_T8282 Now go to http://bbc.co.uk/mobile/iplayer. Videos are opened in your Streaming App on your phone.
I've a Galaxy SII,wife has an android 2.3 tablet.On some sites,it brings me straight to the mobile version of the site which I dont want.Some do give me the option of going to full site but certain sites dont.Is there a way I can block the 2 devices from automatically going to mobile version of sites and just go straight to normal version instead?Thanks in advance
Not really. It's not the devices that decide whether to go on mobile version of a web site. It's the web site that decides, based upon your web browser user-agent.
The only hack to force a website to serve you its full version would be to use a web browser that allows user-agent spoofing and change it to a desktop web browser user-agent. But then, depending on which user agent you use, you could have bugs because the website would think it's another device talking to him .
Thanks,so looks like it cant be done?
Why not giving a try to opera mobile? Im not sure if it is available for tablets but it's worth a shot, user agent can be changed from mobile to desktop trough the settings > advanced > user agent option
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
Opera Mobile is a great browser with a lot of features, including the ability to switch the user-agent from "mobile" or "tablet" to "desktop".
This should serve you the full page.
But i think there is only a Setting for the whole browser, not for each site.
So you have to change the Setting (only 3 clicks) everytime
I think "Doplhin Browser" also supports changing the user agent, but i don't use Dolphin myself..
So i've tried searching this answer and I'm not finding awhole lot. This is becoming quickly annoying.
No matter what web program I download (for instance - Skyfire), websites on the SGS2 typically show up in the mobile version of a website.
I've looked here:
http://www.mobilephonetipsandtricks.com/2011/08/how-to-view-pages-in-desktop-mode-with.html
but there is no "View Mode" on the Tmo sgs2. In Skyfire I select desktop mode but that doesn't stop pages from loading mobile versions of themselves. I've even tried "about:debug" but that does nothing.
Heck I've even tried a factory reset.
Anyone have a for sure answer?
Use a browser that allows you to change the user agent to desktop rather than mobile, such as opera mobile.
I've never had that problem using Firefox. Sites which have a mobile site and a "normal" site tend to default to the normal site and I can only get mobile sites up if I preface a domain known to have a mobile site with the usual "m."
i use dolphon browser HD and set my user agent to desktop.
Works without problems.
Do you have the T-Mobile USA version? If so I would check its foum, as there may be a modded stock browser like for the i9100.
Dolphin HD, opera mobile and Firefox mobile all have options to display the normal website as default via user agent.

try opera mobile or mini, or u can install ics and then the stock browser has a "request desktop site"

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
its an option in your browser settings
I've got Dolphin HD and works perfect. Go to: more/settings/dolphin settings/user agent and choose Desktop. Restart browser and You ready to go. enjoy
