How do i disable automaticaly beeing push over to mobileweb sites? I want full web experience, but some site force me to use their mobileweb site. Can anyone help me? (Sorry for my bad english)
Have you even tried to look for an answer yourself? It's under settings -_-
Look in settings on the browser for user agent and change it to desktop.
The setting is hidden on some rom's. If this is the case type about:debug in address bar and look again.

what you on about its nothing to do with the user agent string that just identifies what device your using, all you have to do to disable mobile websites is make sure the box next to mobile view in settings view is UNCHECKED

It has everything to do with the user agent string. Some sites divert you to a dumbed down mobile version of their site if you are using a mobile device (as the op said). If you set the string to desktop you can get the full site.
As for the mobile view switch...I can't find it. But I do remember seeing it a while ago. Did it disappear with the update?

On my ROM (custom but based on 2.2 with Sense), it can be found as follows:
Internet - Menu - More - Settings - "Mobile view" (under "Display configuration")
I think its only on sense roms then. Cuz I'm using cyanogenmod and its not there, but changing the user string does the same thing.

Hi everyone,
I was wondering if anybody knew of an app that would switch the user agent of the browser depending on the type of data you're receiving? For instance, any pages rendered whilst you're on 3G or HSPA+ would pull up full experience desktop pages while if you were on Edge, you'd be automatically redirected to the less data-intensive mobile page?
If this were baked into some alternative browser that would be awesome to know too.
Thanks in advance guys
Well it doesnt go by the moobile connection your on but dolphin browser gives you the ability to switch between different user agents... (Plus wouldnt that be annoying if you were in an area with inconsistent coverage?)

Miren browser is the best to quickly switch user agent.

See if the browser you use has a 'User Agent' option, if it does, change it to desktop or something. that will disable mobile veiw.

It just use almost any third party browser, they pretty much all have that option
I use skyfire, and they have the option to change right in the toolbar.
Most every non-stock browser (Firefox, Miren, Dolphin, Opera, etc.) has the option built in to set the User Agent string to desktop.
The sense browser won't work on non-sense phones.

Skyfire is a good choice for you because its default is NOT mobile view, so you would not have to change anything, just install it from market
Is there any way to make desktop view my default view, I'm tired of having to go into the settings after each site and request it. I have tried other browsers but nothing works real good on ics.

open the menù (three dots) and go to settings>Debug. UAstring and select "Desktop".
(mine is in Italian, i don't know if in english is as i wrote up)
It doesn't work for me after I type debug and go to settings there is no debug
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App
worked for me, you typed "about:debug" right rsvoboda?
Although, now I'm getting the Debug menu as the last menu item in settings everytime, even without typing about:debug...
that's pretty cool, thanks matteventu
I finally got it to work, I had to take it off wifi to do it for some reason, but works great now thanks

Not exactly a Galaxy Nexus exclusive question, but I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to alter the Chrome User Agent to force Desktop version of websites. Perhaps similar to what ICS Browser Plus does. Thanks!

Chrome now has an option to request the desktop version of the site you are viewing. Just hit the menu button and check the tickbox.
I noticed that, however, I was wondering if there was a way to set chrome to default load the desktop version. For some reason, mobile sites bug the hell out of me

If you hit the settings button and check the box for "Request Desktop Site", every site you browse to from that point on will load in desktop mode until you uncheck the box. This is how it works for me.
Is there an app that will insert one's email address into a field? I used to have a Cydia app on my iPhone that was named "Double At". If you hit @@, it would insert your email address.
If there is no app to do this, is there some way to add typing shortcuts ( "brb" for "be right back") that will allow an easier way to insert long strings of characters? I went into the settings for the LG keyboard but i didn't see anything that allows shortcuts.
Under Languages & Input there is Personal Dictionary that will allow you to add words and create a shortcut. But, I just tryed with be right back[brb] and it wouldn't allow me to save it... because of the Space.
However, I haven't used shortcuts and I'm not quite sure how it works...

I just tried what you suggested in the Personal Dictionary and it would not allow me to use the @ symbol.

Are you saying that there is a separate shortcuts screen that is different than the one in the dictionary?

Same here... maybe once bootloader unblocked, devs would be able to tweak that and make it more functional.

No. Az I type I get the word suggestions and pick from the list if I want. Now I saved the "brb" to give me berightback [no spaces] but it doesn't. I get it as a suggestion once I type "ber"... that's weird... I thought that saving words in the dictionary will override the learning or at least give the dic 1st priority... I guess not
