Hi
Ever since flashing LeeDroid a few weeks ago my phone thinks its an iPhone. For example, when I used to come onto this site with the browser on the Stock ROM it said "This forum is Android native" or something like that. Now it says "This forum is iPhone native".
Any ideas on what this is?
Which internet browser did you use?
You seem to have cracked it my friend. It only happens in Dolphin and not the regular browser.
Then i guess there is an option where you can change the browser user-agent header to android
Found it. Thanks very much mate

Hello all,
I'm a noob in winmo and smart phones. Didn't want a smart phone until the start of the year where my business started to get busy. I needed to respond to clients sooner even when I'm on the road. I did not want to get an iphone as I did not want to be just another guy who has it. lol.
I almost bought a palm pre but did not like the keyboard I looked at nokia smart phones but didn't like it either. I then saw the TP2's keyboard and fell inlove with it.
Not knowing what winmo is but I was set to get this phone. I am so glad I waited for this phone because it passed my expectations and the fact that I found this website (checking it everyday now), this phone will do what I need it to do and entertain me (tweaks) for quite some time.
Anyway, that is my intro. I have questions regarding email and flash using IE.
I have 2 email accounts setup on my phone. My first account (gmail) doesn't have an email at all. I received couple of emails 2 days ago and I'm surprised to see that its not there anymore. My wife's iphone can see all the messages in the gmail server even the sent mails. Is there a way to have that same setup on our phones?
And lastly, my understanding is that IE has flash support, however when I was looking at a website that has a flash video, all I see is the flash icon with "9". Can someone steer me to the right direction?
I know this is quite long but thank you very much for your time. I am really enjoying my first ever smart phone, winmo and this awesome website. I hope I can contribute to this site in the near future

Thank you very much for the email settings and thank you for the link.. That's really what I wanted, something to read and understand it on my own.
Have a good one.

WillardZ:
Thanks again for the link.. I realized that I've already read the page page that you linked, so did you mean that I need to flash my stock rom and use another install another rom to have the ability to view flash websites?
I am actually trying to wait for this guy to make a bloatware remover on Tilt2 before messing with other ROMs (as much as I want my phone to be very fast)
Thanks

Have you tried using Opera Mobile instead of IE on the site? I find that that Opera usually plays flash videos better than IE, even though they use the same flash plugin. For example, YouTube plays fine on Opera, but shows the 9 in place of a video on IE.
As for the page previously linked to by WillardZ, I think he thought you were talking about flashing ROMs. There is no requirement I am aware of to flash a new ROM for browser flash support, unless there is no flash at all included in your ROM (not the case here), in which case you could flash to one that does. I hope that clarifies it for you.
DaveTheTytnIIGuy:
Thank you very much for clarifying that.. I tried using opera mobile on www.videosbyccp.com The main page has flash video and I can't even see the flash icon, its completely blank..
I'm going to try to download skyfire and I hope that works..
Thank you once again..
niM
Dave or anyone,
You said you can view youtube videos no problem using opera. However, mine says ..
"Hello, you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Adobe's Flash Player. Download flash player"
I checked my opera setting and javascript is checked the whole time. So obviously some of my settings are different from yours and I hope you or anyone would like to help me.
I installed skyfire, although my wife can play farmville (very laggy), I'm hating the crappy display..
Thank you very much.

Thread necromancy is a no-no. You can't view Youtube content from within Opera Mobile.

Hi All,
I'm looking into an issue in VillainROM where the browser reports the device to be a Motorola Droid / Verizon Droid with larger screen res. than the hero has. This causes issues with some google sites.
I'm trying to find the user agent string of the browser, so I can change it. But I'm not after the about:debug way to change the string. I'm trying to find it in the filesystem or apk, to see if I can change it to the Hero's correct resolution.
Anyone got any ideas where this would be stored?
I think it may be in here
/data/data/com.android.browser/shared_prefs/com.android.browser_preferences.xml
got it from this thread on modaco

Thanks. Seems to be working OK
user agent
Hello,
On VillainRom 5, it dosn't seem to work.
When I go to http://whatsmyuseragent.com/, that it detects my original user agent like that it doesn't use the modified file /data/data/com.android.browser/shared_prefs/com.android.browser_preferences.xml :-(
Hey. I have been having a wierd problem with my desire, when I Load a certain football website, the website loads for a second, then immediately redirects to Google.co.uk by itself.. does anyone know any reason why this might be happening? This forum for example loads fine, but iv never bad any problems using the football forum on my laptop, so I can't understand why this is happening. It engine could help me I would real appreciate it. I'm using the pre installed internet browser
Why so secretive? What's the football website?
I bet most of us are willing to test it for you!
sorry, its just that since im still new here it wouldnt let me post links before!
the website is http://arsenal-mania.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=34
i dont get the problem when i use the opera browser, but when i use the standard one it does :/
Worked fine for me.
worked fine here

Can anyone provide a fix for my bookmarks issue please?
I set the sort method as "most used" but everytime I go back into the standard explorer it has reverted back to being sorted by alphabet. This seems to have been the case since accepting the upgrade from 2.1 to 2.1 upgrade 1
It's now got me so irritated I'm considering dumping the thing and reverting back to my 3gs. Id rather not, but I cannot live with this. Any solution very gratefully received.
No need to go back to 3gs only because of this. There is a solution, there was a program in the market which allowed you to sort bookmarks just how you wish... just give me a minute to remember of the name and I will edit this post. I just rushed so you dont go back to 3gs
EDIT: Here we go: http://www.androlib.com/android.application.com-impulseapps-bookmarkmanagerfree-jCBE.aspx
Sounds good, I may look into that and grateful for your input. My bookmarks used to stay set as I set them! Would prefer for the existing bookmark it came with to stick to one method of sorting instead of changing everytime I open explorer, would prefer not to use app to overcome a failure of the software. I don't get why its suddenly started doing either
You could also try a whole new browser. Dolphin HD from the market.
Yeah, it's a bit weird. My old Hero had no problems remembering my prefs about this. Let's hope it's fixed in some update in the near future.
You made my day by saying you want to dump the phone and can't live with this though Freaking HILARIOUS! It's annoying.. at most, but getting so worked up about it makes me lol
And this has always been a thing with me:
Samsung has industry leading screens but they then DUMB DOWN THE WEB PAGE DISPLAYS TO MOBILE!
At least with my International galaxy S2 I could use a third party browser and change the useragent to desktop.
The Epic 4G Touch DOESN'T EVEN LET YOU DO THAT. F***!
Sound like I'm yelling? GOOD!
WTF SAMSUNG/SPRINT. DON'T YOU THINK THATS PARTLY WHY SOME FOLKS WANT A FREAKIN 4'5" SCREEN....TO ENJOY FULL PAGE DISPLAYS.
Damn. Gotta decide if this is a dealbreaker.
I know a developer will be able to mod this.
(You know the Charge has a useragent setting).
I KNOW I can scroll down and opt for the desktop. Don't wanna have to do that evwrytine.
Btw, I don't use the addressbar useragent script. It doesn't stick and is a pain.
What about Dolphin HD?
wow, I really hope this isnt actually a deal breaker for you.
It's the same way with my Galaxy Tab, and it's a Sprint thing, not Samsung. Certain sites (like NYT) will not go desktop on Sprint despite the user agent setting. Reportedly, you could get it to go to the full site on Verizon by changing the user agent. This did not apply to all sites, just the ones that did not want you to go to the full site on mobile devices.
Well tried boat browser and dolphin HD mini and htc's Maxthon..same
I suppose its a way for carrier to save data load...
I do a lot of work on the go in part working with web sites. This sucks.
Hopefully we'll get it modded.
did u try type ‘about:useragent’ in the browser? works for me on my gsII

But you have to keep typing it in if you close the browser right?
I always use Dolphin HD. Give that a try.
No go on either Dolphin.
Never seen a disabling of this that includes 3rd party browsers.
Folks if you do a lotof browsing...this is called crippling.

I believe the tablets do the same thing on Sprint.
so u cant get any webpages to display in desktop mode?? because i just tried it in skyfire, and got the following webpages to load as desktop (they did NOT load mobile):
xda
engadget
yahoo
facebook
cnn
tried on sprint 3g first, and then on wifi (dunno if that makes difference), but it worked on both
So... I just installed Dolphin HD and switched the useragent to desktop and it worked fine...sounds like user error
The user agent change works for most webpages. But certain sites like espn and nyt don't, because they don't want you to. If you deep link, it will go to the desktop page (like "espn.com/nfl"), but the mainpage is mobile only and totally sucks ass.
On my old EVO, in the EPST settings, you could remove the Sprint Proxy from the network config and not have anything filtered.
This is my first Samsung device, so I'm not sure if EPST exists or how to edit those settings.
You had to remove the HTTPPDProxy
I just tried about:debug. Got alot of extra settings but didn't see anything to change the useragent or desktop mode
Edit: never mind i forgot it was about:useragent

I was wondering about that myself being from a string of HTC devices. I swore off Samsung after the moment, the NS4G kinda doesn't count software wise...
...the NS4G, hardware wise, is what convinced me that this is a serious contender and likely winner in this round of superphones....which is almost over, we'll get recess and the new Nexus device in a few months and then late winter is preseason.
Come to think of it if you were to graph that out the Nexus truly would be the, well, nexus...I think I just derped.
