Hey, I'm trying to fake my Android model version in the browser - the primary reason being that I'm trying to download some games straight from EA's mobile site, and it doesn't give me any download options for the i897 besides The Game of Life. So, if I could fake it as a different Galaxy S model, I'm thinking some other games might show up. Any ways that I might be able to do this?
Seems like a job for build.prop.
Use a user agent switcher on firefox to change the user agent settings to a specific phone (maybe fascinate or vibrant). You can look up on google what some of the user agent settings should be. If you can download the apk this way you can just transfer it to your phone and install it. Never tried downloading from EA but this might work if they're using the browser to check the phone model.

Unfortunately every way I know of changing your user agent on the stock browser causes crashes. Just download dolphin hd browser. It's nice, free and has the option to change the user agent to a desktop computer if you want.

Ooh, this might be one worth toying around with.

Don't know if it's a user agent thing, but I could certainly try it - I do wish it was easier to switch user agents on the default browser.

Now, non-default browsers can't use Flash, right? Not like I use it, but just curious.
Edit: Well, it looks like User Agent might be part of it, but I can't do any custom user agent strings with Dolphin or Firefox (much less the default browser, where I can't even find the setting even after I put in about:debug), just the default settings it provides.
Sorry I meant to use firefox on your pc to change the user agent so it looks like a mobile browser. The desktop version should have more options available in the extension (and shouldn't crash). I got a gameloft game this way and was able to download the apk, and then transfer it to my phone to install.

Yep, that worked perfectly, thank you!
My apologies if this has been mentioned/answered elsewhere (I did search) but when clicking on a link to YouTube on Facebook, Internet Explorer opens up and then says something like "Can't download file! Windows phone doesnt support this file type."
Is this a bug? Can it be fixed? I've tried installing loads of different YouTube apps to see if it will open the link up in them but it doesn't. This is really annoying!!

the youtube apps dont detect the click through thus doesn't change the link to the m.youtube.com sub-domain, been covered before, no answer to it as yet apart from manually chane the url once it fails?
i tried manually editing the link when it opens in IE but its not a normal YouTube link and all the things ive tried changing it to just give the same error. YouTube links open fine from Twitter and other places, just not the Facebook app which is what annoys me the most. I love my Windows Phone but its missing so many features that would be considered basic by todays standards and Microsoft really need to kick up the pace if they wanna stand a chance of survival!
Have you tried opening it on the Facebook section of the People hub?

As you guys know(or should by now) I've ported MIUI to the Bionic. I need your help for a list of apps you would like to see in it. FREE APPS. Just Throw Some At Me And If I See Multiples, I'll Throw Them In It.
.....nothing?
Generally I think you should avoid adding apps...but the USB and wifi tether apps listed in my noob guide would be a good addition.

Absolutely nothing. I hate installing ROMs that need bloat removed. I generally skip them.

I not installing bloat. That why I'm asking what are you guys looking for.
I would add the Google source tethering app and that's about it. Also in your rom you have to have wifi to download anything from the browser or market. The toggle in the downloads app doesn't work. But great job on the rom!

that's in the settings don't remember where but i gives you a pop in the market gives you the option to que or continue and on that dialog it gives you directions on where in setting to go to disable it.. had that same issue too..
I've looked all over the settings and I can't find it :O if you find it please let me know. I love miui!

Also add Swype beta installer, I can verify it works after using it for a day.

No preinstalled apps please. We know how to operate our devices and install apps at our own discretion.

to late..and you guys are thinking apps like games and stuff...I'm thinking apps like
RomToolbox
DSPManager
PhoneInfo(as its pre-beta)
WifiTether
stuff like that ya know.....tools you'll need on a pre-beta Rom
MIUI apps
Flash Video Browser- watch Hulu, Youtube, College Humor, CBS as a desktop browser, no more blocked cause your on a mobile browser.
Webkey- cell sitting on charger in bedroom, have access and control of it from your browser.
AirDroid- cleaner than Webkey, less options but BADazz either way.
Webtop Connector- taken from Atrix I believe, lets you run webtop without buying hardware, just plug in HDMI cable. Can't wait it Webuntu is ready.
Android-wifi-tether- cause Barnacle wouldn't work and 4G is too fast not to tether.
NZB Leech- my ISP limits my bandwidth, so this help to expand it. Use Opera or Firefox and I like binsearch.info for downloading NZB files. No PAR checker, but I justs transfer to PC if I need to rebuild.
Clover- cause free $5 and easy to get pay and pay people. MOD EDIT: Link removed - no referral links allowed
LCD Density and LCD Resolution- I like that one shows you the resolution your about to set, other gives you more control. Set to 180dpi and webtop mirror will give you 1280x720 on your HDTV.
Swiftp- sharing is caring. Easiest FTP server I've used, and works great.
ES File Explorer
Opera Mobile
Firefox
Google+
Amazon App Store
Battery Monitor Widget
AdAway
1Weather
Android Assistant
Adobe Reader
Barcode Scanner
Box.net
CameraMX
Currents
DiskUsage
Docs
Dropbox
FBReader
FireFox
Flash
Handcent SMS
MoboPlayer or MX Video Player
Navigation
Sound Recorder
SuperUser
Talk
Titanium
Voice
Youtube
I know this is overboard, but these are apps I like to install and use.
If you have an app that you consider better than the ones listed, please let us know what you like about it versus this list.
ES File Explorer vs Astro File Manager = ES has a built-in scanner to find network shared folders. Also client for Dropbox and Box.net, so easier to copy/paste into you cloud storage. Box.net offering 50GB free.
Maybe we can do a Games thread later on.

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..

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.

ok as the title suggests.... anyone of you know of any apps similar to AirDroid? Ive tried using it and 8 out of 10 times i cannot seem to log in to the webclient to connect my phone....
Please note, im not looking for solutions to this problem here.... just alternative apps that does the same thing more or less....
thanks in advance
There's a app called browsix that I've used before, it doesn't have the nice interface AirDroid does but its has half the features of it. You can find it on the market.
Just thought I'd suggest it.
Tried that one but still can't get it to work properly maybe its something to do with my Wi-Fi.... using Wi-Fi file explorer for now tho..... seems to be ok
search button..... just do it.....
try file expert. it has a feature like tht.
bt nt as good as airdroid
Was abt to download that and give it a shot then I read further into the reviews and although it got good ratings, there were reports of spam and huge battery drain.... sigh... airdroid is still the best so far but for the life of me I can't figure out what's wrong with me connecting to the website.... seriously anyone else using airdroid?
search button..... just do it.....
so u r trying to http://web.airdroid.com/ or locally?
ur firewall might block the port
for me, both local and website works fine
The website link is useless for me, the only times I got on it were on the 192.11 etc even that is not stable for me firewall is ok as using other almost similar apps manage to log me on easily
search button..... just do it.....
You might wanna try ES Explorer, since the last updates, it got the SD card sharing function, and with that became the best file manager for me.
i am using es, but does it let you control your phone and its contents from your computer?
Is it possible to transfer data with an FTP server like airdroid or something?
Or can I just access my phones data?

Try websharing app, it has good user interface
With lite version you can upload single file at a time, with full version you can upload bulk files, folder etc. Full version have some nice features.
With airdroid I also have sometimes auto disconnect problem
Sorry for bad english

It does. Check the Remote Manage box in Settings > Remote Settings.
It has been 6 months I dont know if you found anything but I can reccomend a great app just like AirDroid.
It's called SnapPea and its truly awesome. Been using it for some time now and its really great.
Webkey
Not sure if this one has been mentioned but Webkey is astonishingly powerful. Needs root but can connect through various networks; I use it when airdroid won't work. The PC side is just a webpage. Address is http://webkey.cc and you get the app from the Market.
I know this is an old thread, but I just wanted to share something I discovered.
Not sure if it has changed yet, but I was using Opera web browser a couple of months ago, and AirDroid does not work with that browser...just an FYI
Cool!
Airdroid 2.0 is awesome!
But the below two are very good as well!
