Does anyone know how to stop going into mobile view of websites? I have unchecked the option in my internet browser setting but I still go to www.m.xxxxxx websites. This is really annoying as I really don't like the mobile sites of any of the websites I spend time at. I even take out the "m" in the URL when I launch the website from my bookmarks and when the page refreshes it goes back to the mobile view. And my bookmarks are all the desktop site URLs but it doesn't matter what I do I get sucked back onto the mobile sites. It is getting g so annoying I might return the flyer.
My incredible doesn't function this way, once I removed the check mark from the mobile view setting all was golden. Why doesn't it work on the flyer?

try clearing the cookies.
Try Dolphin Browser HD and change the user agent in settings.
I was actually using Dolphin HD and swtiched back to stock internet because of this issue. I couldn't find anywhere in Dolphin's settings where I could deselect mobile view. I figured it was an issue with dolphin but when I switched back to using the stock browser and the problem continued I was baffled.
I tried clearing cookies, history, location data throught the browser settings but that didn't work. I then went to applications and selected internet and cleared cache and data and so far seems to be working correctly with the stock browser but I have had time to check all my sites to verify. All my bookmarks are gone so I have to resave them. I also haven't checked with dolphin to see if that is fixed or not.
I appreciate all the suggestions.

There is an option under Settings when running the stock browser.
But if you have a bookmarked saved to a mobile version of a site, it will revert to the mobile version.
All my bookmarks are the full desktop URL. When selected a bookmark the browser would go to the mobile site even though I removed the check mark in the browser setting to use mobile websites. It is fixed now, I had to clear cache and data in the internet application under the main application setting of the flyer. It seems to be working as expected now and not reverting me to mobile websites.

alrights peeps .. why am i getting google mobile formatted pages when i use the opera google search box.
i have turned off mobile view in settings and using opera mobile 10
Is there a quick fix to turn this feature off? So Annoying..hope u can help
I get pages randomly kicking me into the mobile version of the site etc sometimes too - today engadget suddenly decided I should be viewing the mobile site with no obvious way to get back to the full site - despite viewing the full site almost daily since I got the phone. It usually goes back to how it should on it's own - although a reg edit to make some sites think you are on a windows pc helped stop facebook's full site changing to the mobile one for me
I am having the same problem. Did all the ini edits and user agent spoof crap, still not working for google search..i have to scroll to bottom and click "classic view" every time. Any fixes??
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...
settings / applications / manage applications / pick the current default browser and clear default cache.

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.
I have been using Dolphin HD.
Sometimes app closes itself. It wasn't like going back to home screen by pressing home button because it did not restore pages.
Therefore, I changed it to Boat Browser.
However, I was not able to find an option to set always use desktop view in this browser.
Miren browser was ok but I frequently saw black screen whenever loading a page.
So my questions are:
1. Is there any way to use desktop view in Boat Browser?
2. Does anyone know why my Dolphin HD closes itself?
Thank you.

I use Dolphin and have not had any issues with Force Closes. Perhaps you should uninstall and reinstall, or clear data from the app management menu. Did you install from the market or side load? (I installed from the market.)
I had similar problem too, go to app management and clear data / cache. It stopped all the crashes for me
To get to application management use tgps_launcher which if you've lost it is available here http://li362-167.members.linode.com/gapps/non_google/tgps_launcher.apk
Oh and as above I installed it from the market so it's the latest update.
Thanks i have cleared cache. Lets see what happens
