Hey all,
picked up my tab 10.1 yesterday and loving it! One niggle i'm having that cant seem to solve is that when you type a search into the address bar on the browser, it defaults to the google.com version, and therefore when im looking for some things it brings me back to dollars and US websites! (Im in the UK )
does anyone know how to change it so that it searches on google.co.uk instead?
Thanks!
I'be been wondering that myself for several months now

you can try setting the www.google.co.uk url in browser -> settings -> general -> set homepage
also try browser -> settings -> privacy & security -> enable location (check)
you can get the settings by swiping thumb from left or right edge which pops the quick controls

I changed UAString to Desktop in debug mode but websites still load as mobile. Any idea how to do it properly?
Wish I knew, but I so far haven't heard anything about it in terms of a solution. Its one of the only things holding me back from flashing TouchWiz, because I know it would aggravate me way to much
I've tried using the stock browser apks from the xoom, transformer, galaxy tab 10.1 on the touchwiz rom and still nothing. I think I'm doing something wrong though.
Also, how about a fullscreen mode in the stock TouchWiz browser? I have found no way to do this like in all other browsers. The top bar is always showing I think.
And Jesus, no re-flow of text on pages to resize to fit when zoomed in right? F'in riduclous.
My problem is the opposite, I cannot get out of full screen mode. WTF!!!!!
Nevermind, I have some type of popup that occurs when I touch the right side of the bezel.
you can change the UA string the exact same way that you would in any other android phone.. just type "about:debug" into the address bar, then go into settings and select "debug" tab. It's the second setting.
@gdog1977, you have quick controls enabled in the "labs" tab of the settings. touch and hold either side of the screen until a menu pops up, move your finger to the very bottom icon(four horizontal lines), select "settings" in the popup, and then select the "labs" tab on the left. then de-select the "quick controls" option.

Yes most of us are quite well aware of the about:debug mode, but again the problem is not switching it to the desktop UA, it is getting that setting to actually stick after reboots, etc. Anybody have any other ideas??

Galaxy S3 - browser double tap = text not justified?
Galaxy S1 if i double tapped the webpage
it would zoom
and also arrange the text (kind of bunched it up) so i could read it all?
S3 is zooming but the text it wider than the zoom?
I don't know if its call justified text but i know what i'm on about
is it some sort of setting?
I believe you just need to go into Browser -> Settings -> Advanced and turn on Auto Fit pages. You want to be able to tap to zoom but keep text in field, is that correct?

Use boat browser or Opera

I, myself, use Boat Browser on my non-S3. Most pages fit correctly when they zoom. This site (well the forums anyway) do not. I have to turn the phone landscape and then it fits correctly. that is using the Android UA. Using the Firfox or iPhone UA, it fits.

+1 - this was irritating the crap out of me!
Just installed this browser to get rid of the annoying "browser not responding" and thus far, having pretty good luck and really liking the browser, much more than the stock.
My only gripe is, why can I not see the address bar when scrolled down far on the screen? For example, while in any other browser, if I am far down the page, as long as I "pull down" the address bar appears, but while in ICS quick browser, I have to scroll all the way back up to the top.
Is this a setting I can fix, or is that just the way it is? I hope is can be changed because I am really liking this browser.
Thanks!
if you tap once on the visible tab title area the address bar appears.
hope the above makes sense.

I tried that, I figured that would do the trick, but no. I have to go all the way back up. I wonder why this is. For example, I tried it on facebook as well as google news...somewhere I was able to be far down.
No other ideas? tapping in the tab area does nothing.
I been telling people about this browser for awhile now. It's badass! To get to a tab without scrolling all the way back up just tap the 4th button from the left next to the recent tabs key. It's what I always did. Hope that helps you.:good:

4th button ? Sorry but when i lok at the top all i see is the current tab/tabs. What do you mean?
for me clicking on the tab works... for example clicking on the tab title for this page
[Q] ICS Quick Browser - x...
works to toggle the address bar on and off.

I'm an idiot! I wa clicking next to the tab, this worked!
I dont mine the address bar going away, but getting it back sucks. My Nexus S, all you had to do was scroll up the page a line and it would pop back. SGSIII, I'm having to scroll all the way to the top of the page to get it back.
Is there a setting to change this or am I doing something wrong?
I know there are other browsers, but I prefer the stock one, so please don't tell me to use one of the many others
That's the only way I can get it back as well. I haven't seen any settings for this, though I have found something you might want to try. In your browser go to settings -> Labs -> Check Quick Controls. Sliding your finger from the edge gives you some controls. This gives you an option to pull up the address bar while anywhere on the page. Will probably take some getting use to though. Only weird thing is that when you have quick controls on, scrolling to the top of the page will not bring up the address bar.
I have no settings option in the stock browser, I can't use text to reflow on Web pages, I can't clear cache, change default homepage etc.
Running Android 4.1.2 stock XXELLA rom.
Below I've attached a screenshot of the options available.
Can anyone help? Thanks
why not download a browser that has those features like boat:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.boatbrowser.free
Have you tried scrolling the menu down?
Underneath Brightness there should be Downloads, Print & then Settings.
Cheers.

Can't believe I missed that, its not very intuitive. Didn't expect it to scroll underneath since menu only comes up part way up the screen.
Thanks
Your welcome
Took me a bit to find that out as well, thought they removed settings from stock browser so installed Xscope Pro then one day when messing with stock browser & ticking request desktop site made the menu scroll.
Cheers.
