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.

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!

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...
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?
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.

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.

Thank you all for your help.
I install Dolphin HD. I am able to load full web page now.
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.
