Hey,
Is it possible to some how lock the user agent on the stock browser?. I keep selecting it shall be set for desktop, but 2-3 pages later it has gone back to either Phone or custom and start showing mobile pages .
I want to it be Desktop and ONLY desktop unless I choose something else. But is there some way, shape or form that I can use in order to keep the Useragent locked down so it can not change?

Doing that fix however breaks Facebook and a few other apps.
Get Opera mobile and you can change it back and forth in settings.
go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1197496 download the zip, unzip and install copied to / system / app restart and go. Options have a button to change the useragent to android / desktop.

I don't like Opera Mobile and has no need to change useragent, other than to desktop and keep it there

At the moment there is no version for the version of rom that I am using which is XW_KI8. And are you certain that version doesn't break facebook if the setting is always left on desktop?.

Dear All
Good day,
I have used HD2 with the "Skyfire 1.5" most of the time since I'm appreciated that "Skyfire" can open full facebook version. However, since 1st July, "Skyfire" was no longer support my home place, thereafter, I have tried Opera 9.7 / 10, IE... all those broswers are not able to broswe fackbook in full version (only mobile version I can use). I shall appreciate if anyone can tell me whether any modification/setting can be set to Opera / IE enable to broswe facebook in full version.
Best Regards.

Opera will open the Full version fine, but you need to change the User Agent in the opera:config page.
Open Opera (9.7 or 10) and type opera:config into the address bar and submit.
Search (using the search bar at the top of the page) for User Agent.
There will be one which allows you to change only numeric values, and one with a string (such as "Opera/9.80 (Windows Mobile;WCE; Opera Mobi/WMD-50286; U; en) Presto/2.4.13 Version /10.00 ")
Change the one with the string to a PC version, such as:
Opera/9.99 (Windows NT 5.1; U; pl) Presto/9.9.9
I use the above string and have no issues with any sites I've browsed so far.

Thanks a lot, I'm now able to browse Facebook in full. However, it will back to mobile version sometime.
Also, originally, in the custom setting, my HD2 shown below setting :
HTC_8550_HD2 Opera/9.70 (Windows NT 5.1; U; en)
I just change to :
HTC_8550_HD2 Opera/9.70 (Windows NT 5.1; U; pl) Presto/9.9.9
Do I need to remove the "HTC_8550_HD2"?? and only start with opera/9.70..?
Thanks in advance

To get back to full Facebook everytime it takes you back to the mobile version, you need to go to touch.facebook.com, scroll to the bottom of that home page, then click Full Site, and bookmark that page.

I personally like Uzard web browser, it's free (BETA), and it suits me better than SkyFire. You should try it out.. Check the Uzard website..
Hey, I just install the CM7...39full night version...
and I found a problem...is that whenever I enter a website address in the explorer,
the explorer will redirect it to the mobile version...
for example, I enter the www.cnn.com. it will redirect me to the m.cnn.com
it seem that the website consider my gtablet as a mobile phone,
how to change it? I just want to view the webpage in the normal way!
thanks!...
I found the setting of "user agent" in the explorer... but there is only "android" "Frpyo""Eclair""Linux Desktop""Mac Desktop""Iphone" (now the default is "android" which will redirect the website to the mobile version)
so I should choose the "Linux Desktop"?

Use Linux Desktop
I have 2 browsers installed the default and Firefox 6.0Beta, (I also have tTorrent installed for fun, maybe I'll use it some day) I have been trying to use both of them to download a torrent file, which I will then upload to a separate server via a web UI. Now I've failed with both browsers.
First neither of them like to down a torrent, they either want to open it in tTorrent (even though it is not set as the default Application for anything), or else they do not want to do anything when I click on the Download button (which work in a desktop browser), if I download them by long holding and selecting download link then I get a torrent file in downloads, but I can not upload this file to the remote server, as again neither browser wants to do that I select it and click on upload in the browser and nothing happens.
One of the major things I wanted to do with the phone was be able to select a torrent download it and then upload it to a remote server for processing. This process worked on an old WM phone, which is what has me stumped.
The remote download site can be any say ubuntu (which is what I was using as a test earlier, the upload site is running torrentflux-b4rt and it works from Chrome and FF on the Desktop. Lastly how can I change the default location of Downloads and only downloads to an external SD card? I know I can change everything, but all I want to change is the Downloads folder.
Thanks,
ERIC

Shakes_aqua put the following lines in your build.prop file and see if that helps.
net.dns1=8.8.8.8
net.dns2=8.8.4.4
Reboot after adding these.

I've had a similar issue, and in my case this resolved it...through some googling i found out that the browsers are automatically being proxied to an unknown host and that caused this problem..What you could do is Install this App...APL DEMO from Google Play..
Run the App..Enter a URL like : "google" please put it in a URL format
You would see an option "Test : Get URL" choose that
you would see that some traffic is generated and you will be able to send a request to google.
After you do that..choose the Edit option
and leave the Host name blank
and also the Port blank and Save the settings.
After this is done Choose the option Test : Open URL in new window
Try putting in a URL and now your Browsers should work just fine.

Is there a browser that can open a page like IE on PC compatibility mode.
I can open my website in CM Browser for example and login, but need that compatibility mode to run some functions!
TNX in advance!

So you want to run websites similar to IE on android?
You can use chrome browser to do so.
Open chrome > menu > request desktop site.
done!
No, i need (if possible) compatibility mode from IE. Is there any android browser that can do that?
I know about chrome and as i said cm browser can open the website but part of it needs (sadly) IE compatibility mode. TNX
