First, I'm using Dolphin HD for my browser....one thing I hate is having to retype my user/pass for any forum I visit. Is it possible to get around this?
Second...has anyone gotten something like Swype or any other keyboard app to work? Would like to try something other than the default one...
Thanks!
Anyone? I've made sure cookies are in use with Dolphin, but it seems I always have to type my user/pass for forums.

Does anyone know how to change the standard opera to make it view regular size webpages instead of only viewing mobile pages. I know there is a setting in settings but apparently that isn't making a difference. Has anyone else experienced this?

He is right. Go to a site like IPChicken.com and look at the Browser string under the 'Advanced' section and you'll see what Opera is reporting to each site you visit. Opera has a way to 'spoof' the User Agent to be like Firefox or IE 6 for example. Type in: about:config in the address bar, and scroll all the way down to User Agent and try 2 and 3 (Firefox & IE, respectively).

Hi
I don't have a problem with that, Always shows the "real" homepage, even youtube after installing the flash lite
hmm really?? everytime i go to youtube it takes me to m.youtube.com. Shoot even google goes to the mobile webpage. i wonder if i need to install flashlite to correct this? That doesn't make any sense though.
Try installing flashlite and see if its get any better =)
Didn't do a thing. When i got to youtube it takes me to m.youtube.com am i the only one with this problem?
Have you clicked on the link at the bottom which takes you to the full site and stores a cookie on your phone telling YouTube to send you to the full version next time?
Trying that as we speak
Yup just tried it and it works for youtube but other websites it doesn't. Like when i go to myspace and i click on view full desktop page it doesn't do anything besides go right back to the page i started at. I'm not sure what is going but it seems like maybe their are two different opera builds on these xperias. I wonder if that is possible
EDIT
I think it is the website i'm going to. Some just have errors i think. Has anyone tried to use orb.com? I can get it stream perfectly with IE but with Opera it tries to open it and it just crashes.
Orb works ok on opera for me as long as i can get a 3g signal
Everytime i try and use orb on opera it just crashes and closes. Did it work for you straight out of the box?
Since this thread is labelled in a general fashion, I'm not gonna open a new thread for my question, which is:
anybody managed to upgrade to a more recent Opera build?
The ones available work as in being able to browse the web, but they are buggy regarding keyboard input for example.
I upgraded to a newer version and it was extremely buggy. It crashed on me a couple of times. I like this one designed for the xperia. I don't like xperia's standard settings but after u change the settings its cool
One of the nice features of the touch pro was that the back button in opera was mapped to a hardware button. Is it possible to do this with the Xperia?
Yes straight out the box

I still have an issue. I can get it to stream but its really laggy through opera unless i use this pls winamp format but then i get errors here and there. I run it through IE and it streams perfectly. I've spent about 2 hrs going through the settings trying to find the cause of it but i can't seem to find it. When you use orb what format are u streaming in and what player are u using?
Windows media format (.asx)
and windows media player on the phone
hmmm i don't know why my video lags so much even on wifi. Audio comes in perfect whatever video i play is horrible unless i use IE. Anyone have any ideas what could cause this?
Could the orb be playing up, I just tried on wifi on both opera and ie and only managed to get streaming work once out of a few attempts. Kept getting server is busy.
How can I reinstall the SE Opera version? Where's the cab at? I managed to bugger up my version and now it won't load
Do a hard reset
I was watching an EVO review on YouTube earlier and saw a cool feature in the browser that I haven't been able to mimic:
The guy held his finger on the text, a square magnifying glass popped open and highlighted the word he was on. It moved as his finger did. Once he let off a window opened with the option to copy, search, or share. He clicked on search and he was able to wiki the word, translate the word into a different language, or get a dictionary definition of the word.
This was a really cool feature, do we have that on our N1's?
I'm hoping I'm missing a setting, or perhaps, I simply need to get the correct browser. Maybe it's a Sense thing, I dunno.
I apologize if this has been discussed, but a search got me nothing.
I'll try to find the link and post it.
no we don't have this
port it please (or at least the desire browser ?)
It is the HTC browser. you can try pauls desire port for Nexus. i don't know if it can be ported to nexus withouth using sensui.
Won't be able to port since its tied into rosie framework (don't quote me on this tho.)
I did a search and came up with nothing. Sorry if it's been asked.
Is there a way to make the trackball work like a mouse when browsing? I know that you can scroll on links with it but I would like another option to scroll.
Please direct me to the correct thread if I missed it on the search. Thanks.
How does your's work? What browser and version are you running?
Mine totally works like a mouse scroll.
I have stock froyo, and for me I can only use the trackball to scroll through links on the browser.
I did some digging and couldn't find any settings to enable the trackball to work as a mouse.
So how you did it?

I use the Rodriguezstyle ROM. I'm in the same boat as gratti but I use the Dolphin HD browser. I can only scroll through links but not scroll like a normal mouse like on a regular PC.
One of the biggest reason I want to be able to use it like a mouse scroll is (if it's even possible at all) when I play some flash games, I would like to be able to scroll to the buttons I want to press instead of using my fingers (which is pretty hard to do). And of course since I am only able to scroll through links, it does not allow me to click the controls in the flash games.
Have you guys tried using Opera Mini, it makes the track ball work as a mouse, but then agains it isnt the best browser.
i think dolphin hd lets u use the volume buttons as a scroll

Right, that I know and it has a lot less options and functions than DHD.
I know about scrolling with the volume button on DHD, but that just makes no sense cause what if you want to increase/decrease the volume while you are on the webpage?
I tried googling and searching the threads here, but found no answer in the forums...
My question is, is there a way to view desktop sites in default browser? I tried using about:debug, but there is no option to set UASTRING on the menu...
I am using opera mobile and dolphin, but AFAIK there is no hardware acceleration on both, so I would like to try the default browser for some sites where I would need hardware acceleration...
If there is any please let mo know... Thanks!!!

On URL type
About:useragent
And press go, the a menu pops up choose desktop. Then type the site you want to see lets say www.Google.com it will now show the desktop version of Google not mobile one. Now carefull if you close the browser it goes back to normal. For more info just Google useragent android. It will give you some ideas about it.
Hope it will help you for a while

Hey thanks... Thought the note does not have one...
I cannot stand the lack of spellcheck using bt keyboard in mail app.
many of us use this thing for business. I am constantly typing up emails in hancom word, spellchecking then cut/paste into gmail....so brutal.
How about changing your keyboard. I use touchpal.
Or change your email app.
What email app has spellcheck?
The keyboard idea won't help as I am using a Bt keyboard. I realize touch keyboard has autocorrect.
I think you misunderstood the suggestion from DUHAsianSKILLZ - changing the keyboard application on your phone to one that will utilize spell check while using the Bluetooth keyboard. The recommendation was TouchPal, and SwiftKey was also recommended in another forum.
wosiek, I am hopeful your response is an answer...but I dont understand. If i put on swiftkey (which I use when not using bt keyboard) it auto corrects. When I use my bt keybaord, the on screen keyboard (swiftkey) is disabled....not sure how it helps

Sorry. I could have sworn Aquamail had spell check, but no, it is through the keyboard. Apologies for the misdirect.

Haven't tried it, but Swiftkey is supposed to have a "physical keyboard" setting that allows it to detect a BT keyboard and take it's input allowing it to provide spell check. I haven't tried it myself, but found a lot of references to it when I was just googling out of curiosity.
Sweet! I'll look into that
I want to thank all of you here! The tablet is now "perfect" . SwiftKey running on tab with Bt keyboard is perfect. Nice to have a line of predictions at the bottom with no virtual keyboard in the way!
Thanks again!

I have the logitech BT keyboard and whenever I try to configure it for Swiftkey to spellcheck I get prompted to change "language and input." The physical keyboard is already added with "English - US Android Keyboard" selected. Also, the "Use onscreen keyboard" is not turned on. Am I missing something because I can't get the line of predictions at the bottom that you describe?
Thanks
Yes. Install SwiftKey. Activate it. Then (here's the revelation part)....swipe down and turn off the on screen keyboard. Will reveal the predictions
And.... Now with an update. This no longer works. Agggggvg

With a recent upgrade (within late two weeks), I also lost the predictive line when using my Bluetooth keyboard. This happened months ago on a different tablet but somehow I got that fixed. So far I've not found how to fix it on my Tab S. I really liked that feature as it helped improve my pitiful spelling and made typing a little faster.

does it work still with touch pal

The predictive line still works when NOT using a Bluetooth keyboard. My touch pad still works on my Bluetooth keyboard but I'm a bit confused about your question and what a "touch pal" has to do with this issue.
Sent from my SM-T800 using XDA Premium HD app
Anyone know if either "TouchPal" or "Swiftkey" has a plain default overlay like this one? I prefer the plain Android default keyboard since the letters seem larger when it doesn't have to share the key with numbers or symbols.
I'm new and can't link to the keyboard but here is a photo if you want to see what I mean...
home dot comcast dot net/~csurvine/MyFilelocker/Keyboard.jpg
Edit to add... I would also like it to have control so I can do copy, paste etc...
I guess what I thought was plain Android default keyboard was really Samsung's default keyboard.
But I still prefer it's cleaner look without the alternate symbols in with the letters. This allows for larger letters which my old eyes can see better and my shaky thumbs can hit better...
