Is there some way i can make a change in the Sense Widget found on the right side in the Action Bar? I would like to be able to access Dolphin HD there instead of the included browser. That's the only issue I have with my phone (besides the premium data plan ).

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.
Hello everybody!!
I have a question about setting the default browser on my Galaxy S III, Im currently using Dolphin Browser and I know about the option in the settings to make it the default browser. But when I use the default "Web" Icon on the homescreen it still opens the Browser that came with the phone. I tried downloading apps that "change" the default apps used but still opens the wrong one... I had gotten this to work for my other S III and Galaxy Note before i had to return it due to a dead pixel but ive had no luck in getting it working again... if anybody knows anything on how to get this set correctly i would greatly apprecaite it!!
Thanks in advanced!!

Tried Settings, App Maanger, All, Internet, Clear Defaults?
Yes I have tested that, but when I go to the Internet app it says that their is no default app set

Oh, wait. I think I misunderstood your question. You want the globe icon that says internet to open Dolphin? Not sure if that is very feasible.
That icon is like an icon on your computer (I.e. it is not a shortcut). That icon is specifically for the stock internet app.
But, it's probably possible. I would start a new thread about how to change icons of apps. I use Nova Launcher and I can rename icons, but not change the picture. But, I'm sure someone more knowledgeable than me know how.
It is possible I've done it before but I am not able to recall how I did it lol

Oh.
Well, if you don't figure it out, I found this today: http://android.appstorm.net/how-to/...guide-to-customizing-your-home-screen-icons/
EDIT:
DesktopVisualizer does exactly this!
I assume the answer to this is no, but I wanted to check.
I really like the stock HTC browser - i am currently running AR HD 31.3. However, I hate it that it virtually closes background tabs instantly. This means if you create a new tab, or open a link in a new tab, when you back it has to reload the previous tab from scratch.
Is there any way to override this default behaviour? I have loads of free RAM so it's just proving to be annoying rather than efficient...
Thanks.
Hi All,
Just got my G3 for 3 weeks and it's quite decent. However, I would like to ask if there is any method to let the browser floating on current app instead of switching to it.
The current scenario is that when I tap on a link in any app other than browser, it will switch to browser or pop up dual-window (if the app supports dual window), but I hope it can pop a floating browser. I know that I can do it manually from pull-down menu and select browser on the quickslide navigation bar but in this way I'll have to enter the address by myself.
Thanks
