I just upgraded to Jellybean yesterday and ICS Browser+ stopped working for obvious reasons. So now I am stuck with the chrome browser and wondering if there is some way that I can force it to always use desktop mode and never default to phone. I dont want to hit the "request desktop site" regularly and would just wish the setting would stick permanently.
But is that possibl?. ICS Browser+ gave me that functionality but it doesnt work with Jellybean. And mind you I am looking for a solution/fix/hack that WORKS in Chrome, and is NOT interested in switching browser...
Hoping someone might be able to provide the magic key to making this possible

check the 5th post..hope this helps!
Sadly this doesnt work. it doesnt save request desktop mode and still forces me to mobile sites
Open browser and in the address bar type about:debug nothing will happen then go to the browser settings and you'll have more options. Select settings, debug, uastring. Good to go. some phones it doesn't stick and have to do every time use browser
Oops...my bad...doesn't work with chrome but it does on the stock browser. Not sure what the string is for chrome. On opera it's aboutpera so maybe about:chrome?
The about trick for ICS only worked till the browser was closed or you rebooted, so sadly still not a permanent fix :/
Mine sticks on the stock browser. didn't before but does on jb

DOES NOT WORK!!!
I have already done this and tried that. Rebooted phone several times, etc etc. If I go to sites like Android Central I still get booted to m.androidcentrel.com instead of the real one...

Well then i guess you either do the about: debug and change your uastring or have a mobile browser. I personally don't have any issues with it sticking, still desktop on reboot.
You could try this
http://bit.ly/A5y6tT
I tried the about debug trick on my SGS2 back when I was actively using that. And that never stuck on reboot, and got turned off as soon as i closed the browser.
And why google for it when I suspected this site was to go to site for the android phones, but perhaps I am wrong in that assumption. I mean I did actually try the search build into this forum and since that didn't yield anything then I asked
Point being..i didn't make the YouTube video. I wasn't even on YouTube. I shared what works for me. Sorry what i offered wasn't a solution, but there really was no reason to yell. You asked for help, i offered. If don't like what everyone suggested, see link above.

The last link you shared was a hidden comment to go google for the solution . That is what sorta ticked me off <.<. BUT that being said the proposed fix does work on chrome, but NOT with the stock JB browser.
I was led to believe that the stock JB browser was chrome but matter of factly it can't be Chrome, considering the chrome-command-line fix does not seem to do anything to the stock browser at all. But it works on the version of Chrome from Play Store

No actually it was quite relevant. Seeing how you missed it...basically if going to be rude and yell at people who could have skipped over your thread so could get a new rom or mod..google it yourself.

Im not getting a new rom, thanks for offering the suggestion tho . I prefer the stock Samsung feel, but just don't agree on some of the settings. And my own skills into messing with system files and what not arent exactly on par with what I would expect would be required, hence why I am seeking for a mod, rather then building one myself from scratch.
Nevermind.
And I can only aspire to one day build my own rom.

I upgraded to ICS yesterday and everything seems great. The only issue I have is that I can't find out how to put the stock browser into desktop mode. I found a menu option for "request desktop
site" but it seems to need to be checked everytime you visit the site. Any ideas how to get this turned on permanently?
There may be a way to do it in debug mode but luckily someone has made a version of the stock browser with just such an option easily available!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1439200
Had the same problem just ended up getting ics + browser from the market. Fixed my problem.
wish i had an answer...
probably why everyone uses other browsers like dolphin, or opera...
Ya its weird. The option to do it was in honeycomb but they seem to have forgotten to include it in ICS
You have to type in "about:debug" then go into settings, then into developer or something. Should be in there, under like UA String

I don't seem to have this problem with bookmarked sites. Once I set the drop menu option, add to bookmarks, it will work every time.
For non bookmarked sites it seems to be iffy. Most of the time it continues to work, but sometimes not.
ICS Stock Browser desktop option has something seriously wrong. I cant get pages to load after enabling it. I have to go into system settings and clear cache to make it load pages again. Anyone else having this problem?

I think that this is one of the biggest problems with the stock ICS browser, and its one that has made it unusable for me. I'm moving to Dolphin HD until Google release some kind of fix for this, preferably returning to the old way of setting the user string.
Download ICS browser in the market, the stock is total embarrassment to ICS.
Go to the Market and search Chrome Beta if you want to try. Its only for ICS devices right now

This sounds awesome. Is it any good or is it buggy like most BETAs?

can i sync it with the Chrome Browser on my pc?
I'm using it now, it's awesome. No flash support currently though.
I'm using it now,no flash support yet, it seems fast but when i scroll down fast there is a lot of unloaded stuff or takes a sec to show. It doesn't seem as fast as stock at least to me so far well see as i play with it more. It does sync with your desktop.
I don't think it's gonna get Flash either, adobe's not developing it for mobile browsers anymore. Don't know if a 3rd party dev can do anything about that though.

But the implementation of Flash would be Google's doing. Not Adobe's.
Right, Adobe's done updating. But mobile flash is already here. It's all about the browser taking Flash into account, as opposed to Flash supporting a browser isn't it?

Check the requirements.
Do you have ICS?
Adobe already made an official statement and said Flash will not be in Android Chrome browser. Link to info is in the other thread on chrome browser.
Still needs a lot of work. At the moment it is slower than other browsers, doesn't allow you to change user agent and like mentioned, no flash. I was hoping they would have had addon support from the beginning too.
Pain to get to bookmarks. But I'm sure I'm missing something.

It absolutely makes no sense why non-US Prime's cannot get access to Chrome Beta. No sense whatsoever. Android 4.0 has adoption rate of 1% on the market anyway, out of this only fraction would try out Chrome Beta.
I would love to have Chrome downloaded from Market so it could get future updates without having to chase down APK's each time.
This is frustrating. But hey, at least we now have Chrome on Android.
Hello,
I'm trying to surf on the following site : http://www.formula1.com/live_timing/live_timing_popup.html
However, it does not work. I think it is linked to Java.
Does anyone know how to solve this ?
Thx
Works OK for me on Boat browser. It says there's an Android app for the site.
thx for having checked.
do you mean that you registered and saw a table with the lap times for all drivers ?
I just installed Boat Browser and tried but it did not work bteter than Dolphin and stock browser.
It does not tell me that there is something to install.
Do you think that I should try to install and re-install something ?
Thx

Great. Thanks a lot.
I haven't been to the site, but have you tried the Chrome (beta) browser? It doesn't support flash, which is annoying, but it handles Java, and pretty much everything else better than the stock browser. Someone posted a website that test web browsers and the stock one performed horribly, while Chrome did quite well.
Nope, doesn't seem to work for me either. I just saw the app they recommend

After you get the latest Adobe flash player from the play store, go into your browser and hit menu> settings>advanced> enable flash and plug-ins.
Flash is set to off by default so change it to always on.

I know you are just trying to state the obvious, but thats already done.....in browsers that actually have that setting (not all have it). No ideaif Opera supports it as there is no setting for it. However, Boat has it. I dont see it anywhere in the stock browser settings like it was in GB. Its missing a few other settings as well.

Umm...because Adobe removed it from the play store just recently.
Adobe carries the android flash player on it's website. There is no reason to go to a seperate site. Also, if you go to the playstore,look into your account, and look in your apps, it is usually there as well. If it is already installed on the phone. No flames here... But, there is already a thread about problems, and issues with ICS. If you posted there instead of starting so many threads, people may not be as inclined to flame you.

Thats the thing, I didnt see the thread. I searched for about 2 hours both on google and through XDA specifically for Flash Player not working after ICS update. I added Rezound because some phones just cant get it to work in ICS, like the Droid Razr Maxx. So its a wonder I missed that. Yes I poked through a lot of threads on xda that came up in search, but that one didnt. Its not like I didnt search.
Thanks for the reply JeramyEggs. Appreciated
And to Ashton, I appreciate the help. Just next time someone makes a few threads about Android problems, dont be rude like that. Its a good way to lose members in here. I know you are a respected member and a dev possibly and I just noticed you have been helping people out a lot. I'm sure you just got annoyed because you see it from other people often. Try and put yourself in a super frustrated and irritated persobs shoes who suddenly ran into problem after problem. No ones trying to break any posting records here, heck thats what that sticky at the top is for. I missed your post...simple mistake. I'm not going to get into rules, but I dont believe I was breaking any. I did operate as a moderator at 2 different smartphone forums for a few years so I know how it works. As for the Adobe Flash package, Im going to check Adobes site. If I dont it or have any issues then I will let you know about sending that.

be sure to swipe down to the space key after every word. I was doing this mistake and thinking hey this keyboard is crap
Love the theming options in this keyboard!
Amazing keyboard. Thought the android 4.2 keyboard was the best, then they just released this. I don't think it's really a "flow through space" kind of thing, but more like a fly through time being that you saved so much time instead of going letter for letter. Made the same mistake about not swiping down to the space bar also.
Another update
The Swiftkey Flow beta has been updated again and the current version expires on January 30 so now would be a good time to update if you plan to continue using it.
