Browser sucks - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello
Everytime I start the browser it uses mobile mode, i have tried using about:useragent each time but it seems to revert back to default, any solution. I hope i am not the first one again.

Why don't you install a different browser?

Did that, surely someone would have faced the same problem. I am thinking about getting HTC sensation.

It is a bit unfair to blame the browser when it is the websites themselves that are formatting the pages for a mobile phone. With the user agant you are lying and telling the website you are a desktop PC.
Have you tried installing the free Dolphin HD Browser? That is what I use when I need to see the desktop page.

Good idea .

I heard that this has been fixed in 2.3.6, but, my carrier doesnt have the update for it, what should I do?
In the 2.3.3 version, the settings had an option which would allow you to change the view mode, however, 2.3.5 DOES not have anything ;(

Browser apk with the option in settings rather than typing a string each time. Also available for older versions not just 2.3.6.

What if it has the same "problem"?

My brother just got that phone, god help me, now I am thinking about getting Galaxy Note. I can only hope that Note doesnt have the same problem.
hOPeeeeee

well, getting a new phone because of some browser problem is always a good idea.

App draw problems

Recently updated to KH3 and notice a problem with my app draw. Set up all my folders and pages of apps but when I reboot it removes apps from folders and re arranges all the apps randomly. I have saved each page after edit but still doesn't stop this happening.
Anyone have any ideas?

Just had a look at the light and paid and it states there is no difference between the two versions. The paid one is just to support the dev.
Yes it was me who made the mod. I think the thread is still knocking about but its outdated now with the newer firmwares.
When I get a spare hour I will look to do some for KH3 as I have just updated to that.
Could be but the free version works great for me.
BTW- I am still using your battery mod, on KF3. Won't they work on 2.3.4, to which I believe I'll be updating soon?

I haven't tried the old ones on 2.3.4. I just made one for 2.3.4 that I needed for now.
Once the firmware updates calm down I will make some more. Haven't got time to make them every week which is how the new firmwares seem to be dropping.

[Q] US AT&T User - How do I get apps to use US currency?

Despite the fact that I'm an AT&T user in the US, several apps now have used pound instead of dollars. So far my USAA and Redlaser apps have done this. Any idea on how to switch them to US currencies? I've tried within the apps with no luck so it's definitely a phone not app issue.

I'm not sure I understand your response. I want to "Americanize" my phone not the other way around... also another issue is my dialer lists a "favourites" option... maybe I should be posting in the rom thread?

Yeah there is no firmware for American users so the next best thing is open Europe which is what I use. And your dialer lists a favourites option? I don't understand what you mean by that. My dialer has a favourites option too? Please post screen shot of this issue?.....

Ok - I'm on board to try open Europe. But I thought the rom decided the firmware? If I want to use open Europe would I have to install the stock version of that? I was just mention favourites as that's the European spelling of the word. I'm more concerned about the currency issue though.
I attached a screenshot of what I'm running

I'm just takin a guess here but you might want to change your model name in build.prop from sgh-i717R to just sgh-i717. Not sure where the 'R' came from but it might be causing the market to think its some other model.

I don't think that's the issue. I think the issue is your ROM. On stock, S Pen apps work perfectly fine, but as far as I know, Saurom is based of AOSPs and is different from the Touchwiz'd version of Gingerbread that Samsung uses.

I'm starting to agree. I changed all of my entries to i717 without the R and it's still not working. We need figure out what exactly it is that the market checks to determine compatibilty. Any ideas?
Did you by chance mess with your LCD density? If you did then it very well may be the culprit. Try to change it back to 320 which is the stock Note density and let us know if it works or not.

I believe there's nothing really to do. You could try sideloading the APK from someone else's phone, but I am presuming you (or someone else) has tried that. There's nothing to do because Saurom is simply a different framework from Touchwiz'd GB. That's one of the trade-offs you get for all the extra benefits, I guess.
Which app(s) are you having trouble with?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using Tapatalk
I finally gave in and went back to stock. I tried changing the model by editing the build.prop and used apps to change the languages but it didn't work. I finally decided to go back to stock so i can download apps where i can use the S Pen.

For some reason I thought the stock density was supposed to be 285.. Can anyone confirm the correct value? I never changed mine but if it is, and the ROM sets it at 320, maybe that's the culprit
320 is default. I messed with mine before and had some weird/bad results so I put it back to default.
Maybe if I played with Overskreen more the lower levels might be interesting.
I just checked my build.prop on the stock rom and it is set to 320.

Yea its definitely 320 so Im currently searching through other values and settings looking for the cause. I've removed the "R" from my model number everywhere I found it so that's not the problem. Hopefully it turns out to be some file or setting that can be modified, and not the framework issue mentioned earlier because there will probably be more apps in the future that are affected as well.

Am getting similar msgs about a running game whatever..... It must b some application i installed which pushes such ads or adware...... How can i know which app? Nd by the way dont know if it is wifi on off related but rather happens when internet source is toggled..... Wifi/3g etc.... Task manager shows no application running....
I asked my (Chinese) wife, it means "The Internet connection was changed".
I don't see any pics man
A quick look at logcat will probably tell you the offending app or process.
It means way of connection to the internet has changed in Chinese
I had a similar issue to this on a UK firmware with an SGS2 and when wifi was enabled it used to display a Korean message, I think there maybe some non-translated strings in this area.
Here is the text if you need it:-
網絡連接狀態改變

Well, there is no "issue" except that they've forgotten to translate a string of text somewhere saying "your internet connection changed" as previously stated. This notification is correct.
If you don't want to root it or flash different firmware you'll have to live with it for now.

I guess you should try S5830DDKQ8.
Have tried almost 10-12 custom Rom on this Baseband and never showed problem plus wi-fi drivers of this ROM are considered the best by many ppl incl me.
