In the settings, do you have "Auto-fit pages" checked?

How did you do that?
solution
Menu > settings > turn off/untick mobile view
restart browser = sorted

Ah, so I'm not the only one having this problem...
Picked up a new Incredible S over the weekend (my old Desire died on me ...). I just starting having this same problem yesterday and initially thought my Swype installation screwed something up. Odd that it only seems to affects the Google home page. For instance, if you're on the news.google.com page and type in the search box, all is fine...
I also tried using Dolphin browser but had the same problem.
Problem with Cirian75's solution is then you lose the benefit of viewing mobile formatted pages...
I think google has done something recently to its search page and its not the phones.
Same thing, and appeared only today and only on mobile Google search page. Browser thinks that's a password form and fills the input text with points. There's also no option to type in other than english.

so we agree, we think google has messed up the code on the mobile search page
Nothings wrong with the phones suddenly, its google mobile search page thats gone tits up.
Same problem, and it only started happening yesterday, Google must have done something

Seems to have been fixed today. Working fine with both swype and stock keyboard. Didn't change anything on my phone.

long press in a text box, select 'input method" and switch back to the original keyboard, then select input method again and switch back to swype.
Yup. All's working fine now. Weird...

[Q] Browser problem

Hi people.
This is my first thread and i have a problem with the stock browser, and many other like dolphin HD, dolphin mini, miren browser, maxthon, etc.
The browser show the webpages like older wap phones.
The problem start when i change my first rom from stock 2.1 and stock kernel to froyoPro later i try gingerDX.
tired of these problem i try to change kernel, i choose nAa v11 and the rom it's miniCM7 2.2 and the problem doesn't solve. It's strange because when i go back to stock kernel and rom the browser works fine.
Please help i know i'm noob but i search to much without an answer
Maybe if u give screenshots of your problem people here will understand what u mean bro..

here are the screenshots he post me in minicm chat.
i dont have any idea what that problem but maybe someone else can help
I'd suggest you to use Opera Mini
The first Website requieres Javascript.
And google MIGHT detect your Phone as a PC, so your Useragent could be messed up.
You can see the Useragent in the Advanced Browser Settings.
I tried all settings which may cause that but I didn't find any could cause that..it just looks like that the pages on the screenshots are not fully loaded..
And try to clear the data or reset the browser into default and see if it works..Or try other network provider first..

The pages are fully loaded, and i don't know what happen.
You seem to be behind a proxy that optimizes the pages for you.
If that's the case try to access web pages from another network.
On Dolphin you can go into Settings and Change what websites will see you as (PC, iPhone, iPad, Android).
Choose Android, and see what happens. If nothing changes, try iPhone.

set the browser to desktop view

Hi guys! I just wanted to confirm there is no way to set the browser to show the desktop view by default from setting. Cause I could have sworn I saw it somewhere on my phone, in the setting menu (either in app setting or from main setting menu), but now that i want to set it up I couldnt find it.

is it for dolphin setting? I thought there's one on the main setting itself without having to go into the app.

I don't use dolphin but it's the on both the stock browser and Opera, so it must be something like that on dolphin too bro.
You have to go into the app to find these options!

handcent on the Xperia Z

Has anyone who has had handcent installed on their Z experienced that more often than not it keeps force closing? Is this more likely to be down to the app itself and not the device?
I have used handcent with all my other android phones and have never encountered this issue on such a regular basis.
Many thanks..
I use Handcent every day, and no FC at all, sorry

do you have stamina mode on and did you white list handcent?

I don't have stamina mode on. More often than not it force closes when I go into handcent settings to make some adjustments and kicks me out.
Very frustrating, as I use no other messaging app but handcent.
I know it's a silly question but have you uninstalled & re-installed it? Any difference?
I use it without problem. Only app I have issues with is CoPilot - it does not like the screen resolution.
Go to application manager and clear cache. It may help

Excuse my ignorance, but where do I find application manager?
Maddoguk,
Yes, have uninstalled handcent twice but still the issue remains.

Is it application settings that I'm looking for as opposed to application manager, as I can't find that? If so, cache is greyed out so won't let me clear it

Internet Access

I was using Fb lite and all of a sudden appeared a pop up that says it's opening the browser alot and I toggled it off by mistake and ever since then I can no longer open any webpages from the app for some reason . The pop up that appeared showed all applications that could open the Samsung internet browser with an ON/OFF toggle next to every app . Does anybody have any idea how I can access it again to re-enable Fb lite ?

Nope. I reset all app preferences, cleared cache and date and even uninstalled and installed the app again and still no luck and I can't seem to find that option again .

Issue solved ! Turns out the problem was not the Fb app itself but rather the Samsung Browser . Had to install it again . The option is hidden way inside the settings in advanced options
