Does anyone know of a method to disable the "formatted for mobile viewing" that results when you use the new voice search? It is getting really old to have to scroll to the bottom of the page and select "view page directly" just to view a webpage as I should.
I am stock nonroot....and I have tried everything I can think of....
in the browser settings there is a setting that allows you to change your client from mobile to desktop. this will affect all webpages though.
Type about:debug in the url window then go to settings and scroll down to ua string and select desktop

Ok....changing to desktop with about:debug didn't work. However, I just noticed my Google search settings were again set to format to mobile. I had changed that...but what ever. Changing that setting does make the voice search default to regularly formatted pages.....But...now it gives me the non mobile view of Google. That sucks too because now I get no location based searches..
Can't win for losing.

Rooted and upgraded my Desire to stock Froyo and found it to be really good, its very quick although the built in Apps to SD function doesn't seem to work for anything.
Anyway I was wondering how I can access the advanced settings in the Android Browser to change the User Agent from Mobile to Desktop as unlike my original firmware on the Desire the Froyo browser seems to load the mobile sites as default and not the desktop sites, its doing my head in!!!

Type about:debug in the address bar, then go to Menu > Settings > UAString (last option).
If you're using the default browser just untick mobile view in the settings.

I've recently rooted my Desire and am running DeFrost but I've noticed something different with the web browser. For some reason, I can no longer hide the fact that the browser is a mobile browser which changes the appearance of some websites. I don't like this.
Is there any way around this? I was wondering if my browser before was a HTC one so maybe switching to a ROM like Modaco or OpenDesire's official port would help. Thing is, I'm not particularly fond of Sense.
Also, I read something about there being a way to replace the hosts file so it blocks out the ads. Is this still possible in Froyo?
If you get Dolphin HQ browser from market, you can download a desktop toggles add-on, which switches between android and desktop ID
Will that work for all browsers or just Dolphin?
Or just type in about:debug in the address bar and "go". Then go to Menu > Settings > UAString
This only half works.
Some sites are now intelligent enough that even though you change your user agent to a desktop one that they can work out you are a mobile and redisplay a mobile specific page
about:debug doesn't seem to work in the default Froyo browser.
It's ok. I've found the answer here: http://www.nexusoneforum.net/forum/...ion/6167-change-user-agent-android-phone.html
When you do about:debug nothing APPEARS to happen, but if you then go into the settings there are more options available.
On the Iphone there was a Hack that would Alter the Browser setting to not be a Mobile Browser,
So when you visit compatible sites, it would load up the full version of the site,
instead of the Cutdown Mobile Version,
I have Downloaded a couple of Browsers like Dolphin,
But there all the same, Same issue when i got to some Sites,
So Does anyway know of a Toggle Switch, Hack, Mod w/e to Enable and Disable Mobile Web Browsing and Enable Full Websites on your Mobile
Thanks
The standard browser supports this ... simply use Menu --> More --> Settings --> Mobile View

I've not seen the option in the standard browser for this but I'm sure Dolphin and other browsers will let you spoof site's into believing they're desktop ones.
The option is there in the standard browser, I hate mobile view.
MENU>MORE>SETTINGS>MOBILE VIEW.
1. Open the web browser.
2. Type ” about:debug ” in the address bar and go for it.
3. Choose ” Settings “.
4. Go down the list and select the ” UAString ” option.
5. Select ” Desktop ” from the three options.
TA DA!!!!!!!!

That's because you are not using a Sense ROM!

Im running 2.2 and would like to make the most of the browser, yet on some sites it keep sending me to the mobile version.
For example on the WilliamHill.com site it loads the home page, but as soon as i log in it sends me to the mobile.willhill.com version
Where do i tell my phone to stop doing this?

Whilst in the browser select the "Menu" key. Scroll down until you find an option for Mobile View, then untick the associtiated box.
How do you force the browser to NOT use Google's mobile version when searching from the browser address bar? (type words instead of url in address bar and press enter).
ah ok, i found it in the end
open browser > menu > more > settings > untick mobile view
Thanks for your help
Updated to android 10, ClipStack no longer works, a dev recommend Private Clipboard app from here. To use it, I have to select a text, and pick 3 dots menu, then "copy to PClip". Problem is, I can't find this 3dots menu outside of chrome web browser.
"https://i.imgur.com/7UTeqVs.jpg" is what the app talks about
"https://i.imgur.com/rEYOslM.jpg" is what I have in most cases
What gives?
