[Q] Browser problem - XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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

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.

Default browser issue

I personally use the dolphin HD browser.
I'm running darky port 7.2.
Whenever I click the browser icon it would ask for dolphin or internet(stock)
I check the box and click dolphin. But it still asks me if they want to set it as default... sometimes it asks and sometimes it doesn't... please help. It happened in cognition, assonance, axura, and now darky port......

Maybe you reflashed after setting default?
If you don't use the stock browser just freeze it using titanium backup (in case you want it back)....or just keep keep clicking on set as default for dolphin, eventually you will cover all the possible scenarios

[Q] Faking Android Model for the Browser?

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.

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.

[Q] Have internet - but can't browse...

Hi guys,
Hope someone can assist. I have a stock Tab, and entered all the suggested APN settings. I now have 3G (Can text, call, recieve calls etc...), and I can use internet apps, such as Facebook, Market etc. However, using the stock internet browser ... nothing. Web page cannot be displayed. I can't browse. When I get into Wifi connectivity, then it all works fine...
So, under 3G, I have internet, but can't browse.
I have upgraded to Gingerbread, and still have the same issues. Any ideas what can just block browsing, but allow everything else? The only common things I guess, is my APN settings... the device it's self ... and my network.
I'm in Australia, using TPG as my provider..
try grabbing another browser in the market like opera mini which is amazing. If that solves the problem then its something to do with the installation of the UI or Android on your device. Either restore to factory settings. If neither work you may have a port issue on your APN settings as different internet services work differently. So triple check with your carrier.
But if Opera or another browser works then I would suggest restore factory settings and if they don't work with stock browser then call Sammy and they will do a full reset on the device and or replace it. They are not that bad at doing this.
Hope this helps.
dolphin hd is better browser... just my suggestion.
Love with opera that it has link and my home screens and bookmarks all sync to my phone and tab.
That for me is reason enough .. But Di like dolphin too >:~)

Miren and opera are definitely the best, doplin just seems to bloated and fat for my liking
No one uses Firefox??
Tried ff some nice features but bloated to hell and buggy
Maybe whenbits bit more stable will give it a run

[Q] Cm10 stable and browser issue

hi guys. Is any chance someone can help me with the issue I,ve got. While browsing some of the sites in the internet after 2 minutes it's automatically going back to home screen. I have checked 2 browsers Firefox and stock and it's still the same. Does any1 know what would that be or had a similar problem?
Thank u.
Try Dolphin Browser or Chrome and make the setting to "not sleep" when in use. If it doesn't help, you may have to re-flash your Rom.

Getting sick of mobile sites!

Guys i got a problem with the browsing on the net with the xperia Z. It is so stupid that with every browser available out there on the store the phone still showes me the mobile version of the site even if the browser is set on desktop mode. I tried everything but it doesen't work so i figure there must be a problem with the phone because on my Galaxy S2 i did not have this problem. Can anyone tell me how can i solve this ?
The only browser that is kind of working is chrome but of course i don't have flash player. But hey it's great that we have HD screens and quad cores to view mobile sites, thang God that android doesen't force me to view WAP sites, would not be a surprize.

It is not the phone but the browser. Had it been phone, chrome will do the same isn't it.

Not sure what Ur issue is. This looks like the normal not the mobile version of that side. So I got it on both of my browsers I have on my phone.

If u r here to badmouth the Xperia Z then please back it up. Because I just proved to u that that certainly isn't the mobile site of the site u provided. And I did it on both browsers on the Xperia Z.

What rom and fw are you using? On my phone I can't enter the desktop version doesen t matter what user agent I select and it is very annoying. And a tried every browser available on playstore.
I don t want to badmouth the xperia but for me this is a very frustrating problem! And i can t find an answer! Or maybe the answer is that every xperia is diffrent and mine is a rubish.

Here i show u how to enter it. There are two ways I show example in Google Chrome
First one go in menu it pops up this Window select request desktop site and it will reload it to the normal site or when in mobile site scroll all the way down and select desktop site in the mobile site itself looks.

Did u figure it out?
Sent from my C6603 using xda app-developers app
Yes i know what you are saying. My question is why the sites see my phone as a phone and not as a desktop when the UA is set to desktop mode. i know that site has a desktop version. anyway i will live it like that. After some tests i saw that chrome works with desktop mode but it doesen t support flash. Thank you for the tips anyway
Yes chrome doesn't support flash as android jelly bean normally don't but u still can make flash work on some other browsers like dolphin or Firefox. Well Ur phone primarily sent information online that makes sites see it as a mobile device. But u can make it switch to normal browser.

There are a few ways to get around this issue.
If you use chrome then you can install a file in the data/local directory that will change the user agent of chrome permanently. Just Google running chrome for android in permanent desktop mode, don't forget to set permissions and remove .txt from the file.
Your second option is to use Firefox and add a new string to override useragent in the about:config menu. Again Google using Firefox for android in permanent desktop mode.
Then relax. Restart your phone and try out your browser. You no longer need to have to tick desktop mode, it's done automatically.

Does it stay permanently in desktop mode and does it always work in desktop mode?
Sent from my Brain via my Keyboard on my Xperia Z
Stays in desktop mode. Most sites have it so you can change it to desktop version at the very bottom anyway.
If it changes when you update. Real easy to change back. Try it. Free
Sent from my Zzzz
I understand you. But there are quite a few sites that don't have the switch at the bottom. There are others then that do still detect a mobile browser even on ticked desktop mode. The way I have it done its permanent desktop always.
It's having to keep switching to desktop mode all the time gets annoying.
