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?

Try xScope browser in the market. I had a similar issue and what I was trying to run did not work until I tried it.
before you install 20 different browsers: i also had a similar problem with our company's login page, so i just bookmarked the URL of the popup (you will find out the URL with any desktop browser) and access that URL directly, problem gone...

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.

framework-res-uastring.apk
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.
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"

its an option in your browser settings
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
just thought I would let everyone know that if you use the Firefox beta browser you can properly multitask. On another note the browser is much improved from the old Firefox. If your like myself and prefer the desktop version of pages automatically there's an add on call phony you can use to set it as desktop or ipad android etc..
I have both a Galaxy Nexus and a Galaxy Tab 10.1, both of which have ICS. For a while now my main android web browser of choice has been ICS Browser +, which is built on top of the stock browser, with a few additions such as being able to permanently change the user agent string to "desktop". I know that the latest version of the Chrome browser has the ability to view web pages in desktop mode, but to my knowledge you must select the "Desktop Mode" checkbox in the settings every time you want the current web page to be rendered in desktop mode. Is there a way to make that desktop mode checkbox persistent or permanently checked? I really want to start using Chrome as my main android browser, but I need to know that I can permanently have Desktop Mode. I hate mobile sites!
I am also interested.
Also interested.
+1 Wont use Chrome without this option
solution
i got fed up with this tonight and found it. sorry no link cuz new account
Basically, if you have a rooted device you can do this easily. Go to root/data/local/ and make a file called "chrome-command-line"
inside you just put something like this:
chrome --user-agent=" Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/535.19 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/18.0.1025.45 Safari/535.19"
Kill/restart chrome to apply changes
Instead of copying the useragent from my PC's chrome, I went to whatsmyuseragent.com, switched to desktop mode, and copied that. What I got is for my tf300 so yours may differ.
Apologies for any errors, I'm not a technical person, just thought I would make my first post count
you can use this app
