[Q] [request] how to change user client in the stock browser? - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello to all my vibrant devs!
I'am requesting to know how to change the user client in the stock browser to Desktop version instead of just getting stock with the default android client.
E.g in xscope i can change to mobile version or desktop version but cant seem to be able to do it on the stock browser as it doesnt exist.
Thank you all in advance.

This can probably be done by modifying the headers your browser forwards. Just try to find an app that will do that for you, otherwise you may need to use a plug-in.

To change the User Agent String in standard browser:
Type about:debug hit go
Open settings and scroll to the bottom
Select UA String and change to whatever.
This isn't permanent by the way.

thanks for the suggestion but the only way to do that is with xscope or other browser which i rather not use because of the flash content that i use.

Ah, completely forgot about that.
A little more detail for the OP:
1- Open the browser
2- Type about:debug in the address bar without the http:// or www. before it and press Go
3- It may seem like nothing happened, or you may get a popup, either way don't worry
4- Go to Menu > Settings and scroll to the bottom until you find the "Debug" section
5- There at the very bottom of the settings you'll find an attribute called UAString, click it and change it to Desktop

keyboard keys dont display as i type

i have resco keyboard and have got used to using it w/keyboard not slid out (portrait mode?). it works fine.
today i wanted to type w/real keys. when i type a key, the text and is not visible--cursur moves as if i just hit space bar. all text is blank.
if im in google, for example, the predictive text is unreadable; if i hit "enter" what i typed is visible as a search.
i need to make settings so i can read as i type and see the predictive text..
EDIT ::
actually, if i'm in internet explorer and touch the "menu" on lower right corner, all the text displays blank also--if i touch on a blank area, it responds.
so i guess my display is acting up while in landscape mode..
i hope this is clear..
any help here?
thanx
Tried a soft reset, yet?
might be related to clear type ... seee if disabling it helps. i know in landscape mode that bug has been noted.

If u have flashe a new wm6.1 rom, u could try to disable cleartype in landscape. Thats the common problem. U can do that in advanced config.

Looks like I am a slow typer.
disabling clear type fixed most things..
Except that :: when i'm on google search bar, the problem persists..
as far as i can tell, thats the only thing wrong. it happens if i use
Resco or physical keyboard..
what else can i do?
thanx
edit : disabled clear type from settings.. fixed everything

Problem selecting text

I noticed a strange problem.
Inside text editing application that do not warp lines (Orneta Notepad Mobile and any other notepad style application I tried) text selection (with stylus tap and drag) only works when lines a short and orizontal scroll bar is missing or disabled. When lines are longer and orizontal scroll bar appears text selection is no more possible.
Does anyother noticed this problem?
Any solution?
Selecting text works not so fine anymore.
When I hold the syles on the screen sometimes it works, but not oke.
Or when I hit with the styles on a word he selected that word.
With me other WM phones (HTC to) it was possible selecting, copy, paste in most places. It was very simple te select a pease of tekst.
Does HTC running a app that has a conflict with the WM selecting option?
I have searching registry if there is maybe a key to change.
I don't like the slecting way on the Diamond2.
I hope someone find out what the problem can be.

True.
KraFT
I found a partial solution: there is a way to make a list of applications that should be ignored by TouchFlo. Inside these applications scroll by tap and drag stop working but text selection does work.
Find the registry key HKLM\Software\OEM\TFLOSettings\TFLOIgnoreAPPs
For any application that you want TouchFlo ignore create a string value and assign to it the name of the application .exe file (important: the value seems to be case sensitive)
For example in my case for Orneta Notepad Mobile
HKLM\Software\OEM\TFLOSettings\TFLOIgnoreAPPs\IgnoreAppNP = "NOTEPAD.exe"
Thanks, it works.
I have now add strings with poutlook.exe, PIMConnectivity.exe, Notepad.exe and Explorer.exe (resco) .
In those apps it works now fine.

Few annoying things in wm6.5

Hi guys!
appart of the known bugs of the still immature os wm6.5, after flashing several roms i still have some annoying things, that probably can be easily solved with some registry tweaks
sadly, i don't know which registry to change, so i am asking for your help:
1. pressing the start menu (left upper corner) the icons from the menu are totaly unsorted. i have a lot of things installed, so i want them sorted, let say, alphabeticaly. is it possible?
2. same start menu - can the dimenssions of the icons be changed? some people may want them smaller and some people may want them bigger.
3. settings menu - if you make a setting modification (through all settings menu), after confirmation you are sent to manila settigs. i want to remain within the all settings menu rather then manila. is it possible?
4. within the mail tab, is it possible to make inbox to be default option when you go to email tab?
thank you!
regards

For the start menu icons (1), you can sort them into folders (normally provided on the roms with nice icons), if you go into file explorer you can cut and paste shortcuts into the different folders as you want

than you have to modify the xml file.
1- copy your StartMenu_GridScene_480x800 to your storage card
2- open it with XML notepad
3- open the submap under StartMenu GridScene find the 3rd image folder
4- change the width and height
5- save and replace it whit tcm
good luck

I know it differs, but in my version of 6.5 - I can press_and_hold the icon in the start menu, and then just move it to where ever I want it.

nope, with rom version i use, when i do that i got just 1 option - "Move to top"
however, even if it would work as in your rom, it is still difficult to sort if you have many apps installed.
i am thinking about something simple - some option or registry tweak that allow to sort icons

O YAAAAAAAAA i just noticed this.....
rambo12345,
Is it possible to go back to the original layout rather than the honeycomb, with the 4 columns, as the honeycomb seems to achieve nothing except wasting screen space and making the icons more difficult to scan visually.
Thanks.

[Q] Is there a way to set a home page on the browser?

How can I set a homepage on the default browser? Also, can I bookmark pages?
to set the homepage open the browser then press the menu key and go to more then settings. theres an option there to set it. theres an option for adding a bookmark on the more section as well. you can also just click on that little icon with the star next to it on the address bar.
Just saw this post, If while in browser goto menu>more>add bookmark and check the add to hompage box, it supposed to work, but on my GF's, it does not. I posted if anyone else has this problem or has a fix

[Q] Stock Browser Text Size

I am currently running Android 2.2.1 and I find that the default text size in the stock browser is to small for me to read, and if I zoom in the text does not re-flow so I have to scroll to read. I tried searching for a solution but the only one I keep finding is to go to the browser settings menu and select "text size" and select a larger size, this sounds perfect except I don't have that option in the menu.
Can anyone tell me how to solve this problem?
Many thanks
Looks like its missing in 2.2.1 .
Dolphin Browser HD from the market instead .
jje
Thanks for the suggestion...I thought someone may be able to tell me why I don't have that option on my device and a way to re-enable it.
