There's a certain website I frequent on my PC that allows me to stream episodes of breaking bad, etc. It's a pretty simple straightforward search engine that links you to a streaming flash video. When I try from my phone, it brings me to a version of the site which only allows me to search and then download the file instead of streaming it.
Is there any workaround / fix / app that will trick the site into thinking I'm on a PC?
Thank you
Dolphin (I use mini) will let u change the User Agent to Desktop.
Toolbox -> User Agent

Basically all of the third party browsers allow you to change user-agents. I really like the default browser, if only it gives option to do permanent desktop mode or allow switching like third party browsers do.
There is a way to change the stock browser to do desktop mode, but it is only per session. if you close the browser and reopen it goes back to mobile view.
I use dolphin hd set to desktop user agent, allows for streaming on hulu and full turntable.fm

i use maxthon. you can change to desktop or other browser types in the option. if you use it on your pc or laptop too you can sync all uour bookmarks and stuff with it after you sign in. its faster than google chrome on a computer and the fastest ive found for my atrix. hopes this helps.
I use both Dolphin HD and Opera, but Dolphin doesn't work properly on this site. If you're in a thread with multiple pages the button for the last page is covered so it's difficult to get to, and if you try to search the thread the search pops up and disappears immediately. The back button on Dolphin doesn't work well if you click a link in Yahoo - you have to hit back multiple times before it works. Most sites do work ok though.
The stock CM7 browser will let you change user agents to Linux desktop, Mac desktop, Froyo, Eclair, iPhone, iPad and IE6

Hey everyone,
Does anyone know of an .apk for the DX2 that can change the UAstring within the default browser permanently? I know about the 'about:useragent' or 'about:debug' methods but these are not permanent. It gets pretty annoying to have to type everytime I open the browser.
If you don't know what I'm talking about, whenever our browser goes to a website by default it always displays mobile mode. When you set the UAstring you can set the user agent as android, iphone, desktop, whatever.
The stock browser is fast and I really like using it. I just hate that it always goes to mobile view.
I found this hack for the motorola xoom that does this, I don't know how applicable it would be for us since the xoom runs honeycomb. framework-res-uastring.apk is the APK that xoom owners apply to make the UAString change permanent on their device. Perhaps something similar can be done on our phone.

I'd recommend Boat Browser. It's a fast, lightweight web browser but it also allows user agent settings. You can find some of the details in the below link.

Another good one that I found the other day is Dolphin browser. It is also on the marketplace.
I've a Galaxy SII,wife has an android 2.3 tablet.On some sites,it brings me straight to the mobile version of the site which I dont want.Some do give me the option of going to full site but certain sites dont.Is there a way I can block the 2 devices from automatically going to mobile version of sites and just go straight to normal version instead?Thanks in advance
Not really. It's not the devices that decide whether to go on mobile version of a web site. It's the web site that decides, based upon your web browser user-agent.
The only hack to force a website to serve you its full version would be to use a web browser that allows user-agent spoofing and change it to a desktop web browser user-agent. But then, depending on which user agent you use, you could have bugs because the website would think it's another device talking to him .
Thanks,so looks like it cant be done?
Why not giving a try to opera mobile? Im not sure if it is available for tablets but it's worth a shot, user agent can be changed from mobile to desktop trough the settings > advanced > user agent option
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
Opera Mobile is a great browser with a lot of features, including the ability to switch the user-agent from "mobile" or "tablet" to "desktop".
This should serve you the full page.
But i think there is only a Setting for the whole browser, not for each site.
So you have to change the Setting (only 3 clicks) everytime
I think "Doplhin Browser" also supports changing the user agent, but i don't use Dolphin myself..
So i've tried searching this answer and I'm not finding awhole lot. This is becoming quickly annoying.
No matter what web program I download (for instance - Skyfire), websites on the SGS2 typically show up in the mobile version of a website.
I've looked here:
http://www.mobilephonetipsandtricks.com/2011/08/how-to-view-pages-in-desktop-mode-with.html
but there is no "View Mode" on the Tmo sgs2. In Skyfire I select desktop mode but that doesn't stop pages from loading mobile versions of themselves. I've even tried "about:debug" but that does nothing.
Heck I've even tried a factory reset.
Anyone have a for sure answer?
Use a browser that allows you to change the user agent to desktop rather than mobile, such as opera mobile.
I've never had that problem using Firefox. Sites which have a mobile site and a "normal" site tend to default to the normal site and I can only get mobile sites up if I preface a domain known to have a mobile site with the usual "m."
i use dolphon browser HD and set my user agent to desktop.
Works without problems.
Do you have the T-Mobile USA version? If so I would check its foum, as there may be a modded stock browser like for the i9100.
Dolphin HD, opera mobile and Firefox mobile all have options to display the normal website as default via user agent.

try opera mobile or mini, or u can install ics and then the stock browser has a "request desktop site"

I've got Dolphin HD and works perfect. Go to: more/settings/dolphin settings/user agent and choose Desktop. Restart browser and You ready to go. enjoy
Hello everybody,
I'm a huge fan of the S7+ and use it every day.
I use Firefox as a browser.
I'm trying to find a way to force desktop mode on web browsing without having to do it manually in the menu for each website.
Can't find a way ...
Thanks for your help.
+1 on that! It's really frustrating - all major web browsers don't offer desktop mode by default. You have to choose this per tab option every time you start the browser. I ended up using Samsung Internet as it was the only browser loading default desktop site versions.
Edit: Opera has this option in settings
There isn't an add on but I believe you can do custom useragent settings using about:config, general.useragent.override if you are running Firefox Beta/Nightly. I have been running this since Tab S4 but have to update the string regularly so it doesn't go out of date on browser version. I am not sure about:config is supported on stable Firefox though.
general.useragent.override not working
i try nightly version,
Any solution? Is there some modded version of firefox?
