Ive tried 3 browsers, and none of them will allow posting comments on IGN.com. The keyboard wont even pop up. Can someone confirm this please?
Edit: I figured out a way to do it. In Skyfire and Dolphin you can easily switch to mobile versions of sites. So by doing that I was able to leave comments, and then just switch back to desktop mode.

have Cingular 8525 with upgraded ROM to WM6. Works fine for a long time.
Yesterday I tried to view my photos on flickr.com, and noticed that it was actually accessing the address m.flickr.com, which was the mobile version of the web site. But below, they had the link to view the full version of the same site. I wanted to use that instead, and when I clicked that link, and website was almost loaded, it closed by browser. I tried several times, and no avail.
I disabled proxy, switched to MY ISP instead of MEDIA NET network, and still cannot load the web page to the end. Actually, it is loading, but when I tried to scroll down using the arrow keys, this is when it fails.
Anyone tried to use it with success? Or maybe some suggestions. I must say that it happened to me before with some other sites, but I did not pay attention. But I use a lot flickr, and surely can use the mobile site, but it is not the same.
yeah. look on the wiki.
PIE identifies itself as a mobile browser. That is why it puts you on the mobile version of the site. There is a registry edit that will change your browser's apperance to the outside world to look like IE7.
Opera does this automatically I think. But I've enjoyed looking at mobile versions of most sites as it makes navigation a lot easier.
it is not the point that I cannot look at some site, it is the fact that it is closing the browser, like it crashes.
But maybe this just exhibits the behaviour you tried to explain.
This happens when I'm reading in the Evo 4G Q&A forum. I'll read a topic/thread, then hit the back button on my browser (Opera 11.01), and a file download window will pop up, reading a different file name every time, but always from view.atdmt.com. I'm able to cancel it each time, but it happens nearly every time I try to "back out" of a thread. If I'm not mistaken (which I very well may be,) atdmt is related to ads? Maybe an ad not loading properly or something?
I've searched the forums, but didn't see anyone else with this problem. Like I said, I can cancel the DL, so I'm not too worried, but I was wondering if anyone has had this happen, and just thought the mods might want to know about it.
(By the by, my machine isn't infected with anything. I've run a full virus scan since it first started happening a couple of weeks back.)
Thanks, all.
A quick Google search shows it's probably malware on your PC. Have you scanned your PC for malware using something like Malwarebytes?
I've run all-out Norton 360 a few times, but I'm downloading & running Malwarebytes right now. I'll report back with results. Thanks for the suggestion.
Well, I ran Malwarebytes, and it found one problem in the registry (which I had it fix). Rebooted, opened the forum back up, and for the first couple of threads, everything was fine, then boom, another file download. Only difference this time is it says it's from ad.doubleclick.net. Again, I can cancel it, so I'm not too worried. Guess it's something I'm going to have to live with.
Thanks again for the advice, anyway.
These domains are safe but shouldn't be trying to download anything.
Does it affect you in another browser?
After futzing with the forum in Firefox, I can't seem to recreate the problem. Must be Opera having the problem with something. I just thought it was kinda weird that it only happens in that particular forum.
Soooo, yeah. I'm too much of an Opera junkie to flip around browsers when I want to read that, so it's something I'm going to have to deal with. Maybe it'll be fixed the next time Opera does a little update (fingers crossed).
Ok first off this is my first post so don't go flaming me. I have searched the site thoroughly although maybe I am not entering the correct keywords to return a valid result. I have had my galaxy nexus since launch and am glad I migrated from iOS to an android phone.
That being said everything works flawlessly for my needs I'm on the VZW phone unrooted no firmware modifications, the phone is almost stock with the exception of like 3 apps I have downloaded and the ICS update that was pushed to my phone immediately after turning it on.
One of my primary uses with my smartphone is accessing a website for school where I can view grades, scheduling, add and drop classes etc..
The browser on 3g, 4g, Wifi works flawlessly going to any website either through a search engine or via manually entering the URL. However the school website is unaccessible through the browser on this phone and it is the only page I can not get to. I have checked via other smart phones, desktops and other devices concurrently while using the nexus and am able to validate the site is up and available.
If I do a google search for it, go the the parent university site and use hyperlink or manually enter the URL I get web page not found - network error. I was thinking at first that it was an https problem but I am able to visit other secure sites without any problem. I also tried the option to goto to a non-mobile version of the site without success as well.
here is the web address
EDIT: apparently I can't post a link but you can navigate by doing a google search for UM-Dearborn Connect it should be the first result returned
So my question is what gives? Is there some type of a credential issue with my browser and this site? an incompatability with the new OS and this site I just don't understand why only this site I am unable to access.
If another galaxy nexus user could try to access this site and give feedback it would be greatly appreciated.
Try using Opera Mobile or Firefox. Both can be downloaded from the market. I will try to get to the site now.

Edit: I get the same network error message as you when trying to connect in the stock browser. Opera Mobile seems to work fine. I had a similar problem with a University site on the Gingerbread browser on my last phone. The beauty of Android is that there is a solution to nearly any issue you come across.
Sent from my Verizon Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
I get the same problem when looking at Newegg Promotions that I get in my email. It's really weird. I get the same problem on my Transformer as well.
Occurs on EDGE/3G/4G and WiFi.
Maxthon
You may also want to give the Maxthon browser a go. I use it over the stock browser and it always works well.
Thanks for the verification on your phones guys, I thought I was going crazy and wasn't sure if I should try a factory reset.
While using another browser may be an alternative my inherent inner geek is not satisfied with resorting to an alternative option.
I'm going to try and get to the bottom of this. If I get any updates I'll post to this thread.
i've started getting this annoying t mobile hot spot offer when i select to open websites in the stock browser in desktop view. it does it for some sites and not all and only in the desktop view. when i open the mobile version, it opens fine. this only happens in stock ics browser, when i do the same thing in chrome, it works and no annoying t mobile redirect. anyone else been getting this on Tmobile? how do i get rid of it?

i had that happen on my nexus s for about a month. change your user agent to android. browser settings, advanced, user agent, android.
I'll post here again quickly to tell you to search a bit if you want more info.
T-Mobile currently uses the browser UAstring (User Agent String) to "stop" tethering. Their thinking is that if your browser reports a "desktop" UAstring that you must be using a desktop computer tethered to your phone. As you and I know, this obviously isn't the case, and you're simply trying to view desktop pages on your phone.
Seemingly the way they choose to start redirecting you is once you've used a decent amount of data on a certain browser. After that, they "flag" your account as tethering, and you start getting redirects for that browser. Usually it's around 200mb for me, but this month I've used ~130mb in Chrome Beta and I'm getting it. I'm nowhere near my data throttle either (~790mb of 5gb).
Since Chrome Beta for Android came out, I've been having this issue, because Chrome Beta reports a UAstring that is very similar to desktop Chrome. I've read many support threads and spoken with T-Mobile directly. They're aware of the issue and are currently working on a fix. What that entails, who knows. They're surely going to have to figure something out because they're currently selling ICS devices that have access to the Chrome Beta. Surely they're getting inundated with CS calls about this.
Their official stance to me was "... in the mean time, use another browser. Thank you for your patience." Which is pretty much BS. Im very surprised it's taken them this long to be forced to change their policies. "Detecting" tethering based on UAstring is stupidly simple to bypass on the desktop, and is an inconvenience to normal users on the phone who aren't even tethering.

This is a bunch of bull. This is the basis of a massive thread I started with many people who share this very complaint among others.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1677490
One problem in this SM-T320 (Tab Pro 8.4 wifi) tablet won't go away no matter the ROM I use. I'll describe it here so if anyone can guess at a solution, write me a line! Firefox force-closes far too much, whenever a page is marginally heavier on scripts, or if a video is playing. It can happen with any site, even Youtube, but also other video sites and non-video sites. I notice the device tends to go warm on its left side when I open sites. Anyone know at least how I can try to troubleshoot or figure out what is causing this to kill the problem?
Also, if there are settings I can mess with like processor/graphics/logging to try to prevent problems with Firefox, please let me know. I'll pay a beer for anyone with a good idea.
