since the update I am having issue with the bowser defaulting to mobile sites in some cases. I have tried about:debug, erased the bookmarks in question, gone to the sites directly and it keeps defaulting to mobile versions of the site. its not every site but a few. there also is no home button built into the browser that i can find, you can set your home page but not fiding a way to get there! anyone have suggestions to fix?

For some reason
when i open the internet browser up (i set the home page to be google.com instead of the t-mobile stuff)
the tablet version of the google shows up.
i was wondering if any one have the same problem
i haven't rooted or anything,
everything is pretty much stock.
i was wondering if there is any way i can fix this?
or if any one have the same problem.
Thanks
Nope
I don't seem to have this problem on both the stock and the Dolphin Browser. Have you tried installing another browser app from the market?
i found what the problem was,
i set the home page to Google.com
instead of www dot google dot com
now its fixed..
My wife gave me a White Galaxy S II international version from Amazon.com for Christmas.
I first noticed this with the stock internet browser.
I am having a little problem with the podcasts section on Engadget.com. As soon as the page is near or finishes loading, the browser crashes and I'm returned to the launcher.
If I am quick enough to long press on the .MP3 link to download the podcast it crashes without the save prompt showing up and the download isn't started.
I downloaded Dolphin Browser HD and I get the same results. This is the browser I used on my Inspire 4G with no problems.
This is viewing the desktop version of Engadget.com, also with either Android or Desktop as the user agent.
I don't have trouble loading pages on other sites.
Does anyone know why this is happening?
Just tried it myself and it worked fine. Are you trying the "save link" option? You could try "download all files" application from market. I've got it installed because I've had a problem in the past.
DoubleTwist
Try downloading the app doubletwist you don't need to sync it to your computer or use air sync all you need to do them is download the item again
Hope this helps
Not to be rude but I'm looking for a solution, not a workaround.
I could just stream it from the website or the Engadget app, but I want to download the podcast from the page as I'm reading Engadget posts without starting up another app to do something I could do easily on a much simpler and lower quality phone. The building at my work tends to kill wifi and cell signals so I need to download the podcasts to listen to them.
I did have cyanogen installed on my Inspire. I wanted to see if I could use this phone without ROMs.
Thanks anyway.
download all files from market , the stock browser doesnt download all file extensions mate , that could be the reason
dolphin browser is quite useless to download files...the best one to download files are the opera mobile. i used that to download basically everything....try it...

Like I said "download all files"
Just install it then use the stock browser to download the pod cast
The stock browser and dolphin can download mp3s from other sites. My Inspire 4G running cyanogen could do it, too.
Apparently there is some code on the Engadget page that my phone doesn't like.
The browser crashes as soon as the page either finishes loading or right before it finishes. It had nothing to do with downloads.
Edit: I installed Opera Mobile as recommended above by kruznix and the page loads properly.
I'm still curious if anyone knows why this is happening.
I've been having a problem downloading pictures or files from the internet. It will just constantly pop up in the notification bar as "download unsuccessful" immediately. Anyone else had this problem, know of a fix?

I had exactly the same problem; trying to download .pdf files from my home server. In fact, ANY type of file just resulted in "download unsuccessful" - even a 'test.txt' file linked on a page would open in the stock browser but wouldn't download. Annoyingly, I _could_ download files from an externally-hosted website of mine.
- many hours pass as I think it's some setting on either the SIII or my Synology NAS box web server -
The Solution:
As found on several sites... use another browser!
BUT:
I tried Chrome on the SIII and it wouldn't download files either.
Looking more closely, the "download unsuccessful" notification for e.g. MyPDFfile.pdf would show as "<Untitled>" using Chrome in 'Other downloads' and "MyPDFfile" (i.e. without the .pdf extension) in 'Internet downloads' using the stock browser.
Then I tried Opera Mobile - this worked fine.
Note that Opera doesn't generate notifications and downloads don't appear in the Downloads app's lists, they just get sent to Files: /storage/sdcard0/Download.
Conclusion:
I think there's some incompatibility between some web servers and the various browsers, if you find you can't download a particular file, try another browser. However, it may be that no single browser will work all of the time.
Note:
I came across several sites suggesting clearing data and cache from several apps on the 'phone - I tried all these several times and had no success with any of them.

I've rooted my G3 and have had issues with pages not displaying in full site views @ all (e.g. Accuweather) or incorrectly (e.g. Google Play) for some time now. I get "Server Error...Connection refused...Error 500" when trying to display pages in full site views in Chrome and Dolphin browsers. Other sites, like Google Play display incorrectly/wonky in full site and mobile views, meaning almost in a pure text view, no page search bar, etc. Also, I've noticed when going to the Weather Channel site, the page language displays English and Chinese/Japanese = odd. I've done a factory reset and still have this issue. I know this wasn't a problem before but I don't know if the rooting or use of of post root apps have done the damage. Right now, all I have are some basic rooted apps - ES File Manager, Cerberus, AdBlock Plus, SuperSU Pro, Titanium Pro, Webkey, Widgetroid, and Tasker. I've searched for answers and even went to LG for help, but nothing is resolving this issue. I'm @ a loss of what to do...anyone help, please?
What browser? I've had weirdness with the AOSP browser(s), never used Dolphin, Firefox, etc.
Chrome, both stable release and beta, work fine, altho I generally do not prefer full site view. If Chrome, perhaps try deleting Data then completely uninstall via Root Explorer / ES File Mgr by deleting the .apk in System/Apps, reboot, and download Chrome from Play Store.
It's the default browser with the phone, which is Chrome. I've tried Dolphin to see if it was Chrome and the same issues show up. It's odd that these problems didn't pop up until recently. I first noticed it when I tried to go from the Accuweather app to a detailed forecast via the app and noticed the full version webpage would not show. The more I looked into the issue, the more sites I noticed similar problems along with the newer issues mentioned.
Will the uninstall/reinstall create any issues since it's the default browser of the phone? I don't know if other parts of the ROM will falter when I try that fix.

Have you tried disabling the ad blocking? I have had problems (on a previous device) like this with certain ad blockers in place.
I just got a new S9+ and when using the Facebook mobile site there is no photo button next to comments and if I try and upload a photo it says "Your browser doesn't support posting photos directly".
This issue goes away when I force desktop site (I use brave browser but it's the same in chrome) but that's kind of annoying, I gather it has something to do with android switching from webview to using chrome instead but I can't figure it out. Any ideas? And no I refuse to use the faceberg app.
Same.. Just upgrade my phone fromm Nought to oreo.
And got this problem
Your browser doesn't support posting photos directly
Note 8.
I tried disabling chrome and changing back to android web viewer but still no dice, surely someone knows how to fix this?
Bump
Why don't you try Firefox or another browser?
Also, it might be because of the phone screen. Next time you log in, try to select "Use desktop version" for the Facebook website and see if the problem persists.
I already stated in the OP it works when I force desktop website, I dont want to have to constantly switch between the mobile and desktop sites in order to post a photo considering I didnt have to on a version of Android that's 3 generations older than the one I'm currently using.
