Change UA String - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

Does anyone know how to change the UA String on this phone or even if it is possible. I know it was easy as typing "about:debug" in the browser to unlock that setting when using HTC phones but cant seem to find anyway to change it for the E4GT. The "Desktop View" option in the browser settings does nothing.

Nope. Still giving me the mobile view. Guess I gotta use another browser.

About:useragent

the problem with using that on the stock browser is that it doesnt stick. I always have to go to about:useragent.
i got tired of that so now i just use a different browser. I really like boat browser.

If you do it a few times it will auto complete, works fine for me

Try Boat Browser: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...51bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5ib2F0YnJvd3Nlci5mcmVlIl0.
I love the controls of the browser, couple screenshots below. Another thing I like is it gives you the option to automatically clear history when exiting the browser which is good for privacy, if you like that feature.
If you press the 2 up arrows in the bottom right you get this pop up and options (its customizable too):
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
UA string options:
Then if you press the menu capacitive button you get some more:

Thanks for the suggestions. I just decided on using a different browser. Can't see myself having to do the user:agent thing everytime I open the browser. Hopefully some thoughtful dev will fix that in an upcoming ROM.

Swype on Virtuous - Strangeness

When you double tap a word in Swype, a word choice window pops up. On Virtuous, another edit box pops up and covers my word choice box. Anyone have any idea how to disable that other edit box?

Try rotating the phone to landscape. The contents will shift and the Sense edit box might clear the Swype edit box. Just a thought.
Rotating the phone to landscape for every word edit would get tedious. Serious carpal tunnel. I guess I'll just need to uninstall Swype and live with the Sense kb.
Thanks for the replies, guys!!

Looking for a new dialer

Anybody find another dialer that works with our phones? I'm not a huge fan of the stock dialer.
Go contacts
Dialer One is pretty bad ass.

Trying out Touchpal Dialer by Cootek... I used Dialer One on my Nexus One and got on well with it but want something with a crisper UI...
+1 for Touchpal dialer.

ended up dumping touchpal dialer... Watchdog was flagging it as hi CPU even when the phone was idle... trying out GoDialerEX right now but have a feeling i'll find myself back with DialerOne... stock dialer is seriously lacking! why cant i click a pic of a contact after typing a few letters of their name and get actiuons like SMS, call, Open contact etc. the way I can with every other dialer??
Same about TouchPal... liked the crispness of the UI

+1 on this one, most of the apps they have are very good and user friendly.
go dialer/contacts is the best out, a lot of options/themes and stable
yup tried all 3 mentioned here and liked go dialer/contacts the most clean with options and had the functions I liked.

Yup... I'm running GoDialer EX at 200 as opposed to the stock 240 density and all is well... The green "call" butten is a tiny bit stretched but its tons better than the way the stock dialer looks at 200
Anyone know of a dialer like the one is sense...it was great at connecting pictures to Facebook and still only showing my Google contacts

Erm. Where's the home button on the browser?

I hope I'm being blind but I can't see it. Hell I only found out recently that a long press on the back button brings up bookmarks, history and saved web pages.
Someone please tell me I'm being blind.

I could be wrong, but I don't think there's been a home button in stock browser in a long time (if ever).
Im guessing if you open a new window, it will go to your homepage.

That is a massive tip it's been drving me nuts having to scroll to the top.
Yea I don't think there is a home button. I like the Honeycomb browser and the MIUI Siren Browser where the tabs are visible at the top like a desktop browser.
Not quite the home button but you can type a search into the address bar (with a quick flick to bring to life)
Although I can't answer your question, I like to thank you for the tip. Long pressing the back button is a great shortcut to get fast into the bookmark menu!

p.s not my image, ignore the volume thing.
once enable, by touching the frame, the blue control appear.
the first one gives you opened tabs.
the middle globe gives you the search address bar immediatly,
and the ... give you extra menu.

[APP] Keyboard S

I've been using this app called Keypad S for a few days as one of my lockscreen shortcuts (and nova launcher gesture targets).
I think the idea is genius and the implementation is very clean and fast. It works extremely well as an app launcher (google search is awful at that) and a T9 dialer.
Keypad S is a super dialer for Android phones. You could use it to search for apps, bookmarks, contact names, email addresses, phone numbers. All in one place.
How to use?
1. Type in the query using the number keys with corresponding letters: e.g. 36245 for "email" app
2. The search results will instantly appear on top as you type
3. Click the icon in search results to open it, or click the phone key to dial the number

Thanks for sharing. Looks like a good implementation of search. But I'm pretty sure the Google search app is good enough for this.

Main reason I went looking for an alternative was that google search fails to find my apps half the time (or it takes ~5 seconds). I've done EVERYTHING to find the issue and I came up empty handed.

anyone else having issues with poweramp?

I'm on latest omega, 24 I think it is.
my poweramp has a really weird issue, my 'Song's list option is hiding under the 'Folders/Library' banner at the top. its only when I put it into landscape mode that I can even see a little bit of the bottom of Songs. check out the pic

the second issue I'm having is when I longpress the call button on stock samsung headphones it doesn't skip tracks anymore, I have to use the 'use double/triple press instead of long press' advanced menu option, I'd prefer to use long press.
I had this issue on omega 23.3 as well. can anyone else tell me if this is a common problem?

Yea i have the same issue with the menu. Untick settings>look and feel>menus>bottom action bar and it should go back to normal.
Dont know about your second issue sorry.
Same problem here, I just unticked "Action Bar" in Look and Feel > Menus as a quick workaround.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Thanks guys, you should see the responses poweramp support team gave me.. felt like I was talking to a bunch of monkeys.. lol
saying things like 'try scrolling down derp derp'
after I sent them pictures and then a side by side comparison of how it works on one phone vs mine.. then they said 'clear my cache'... lmao
should have went to xda first. I think I might just install a working version of poweramp from before they messed it up. anyone know the last fully functional version?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Hi, I think you're using Omega v34 (latest build) and I've been using poweramp since I was still using SGS 2. Long press to skip track is no longer working in JB 4.1.1 and up because by default it's suppose to bring up Google Now. In other ROM without Google Now implemented it should work just fine. About the issue on lanscape/horizontal mode, I don't have it. I'm using poweramp build 2.05 488.
Edit: Like those fellow xda members said, removing the action bar should fix your problem with landscape mode
