[Q] UA (user agent) settings on LG Thrill

hi fellas, i have searched here as well as google and cant find a solution. i have an LG Thrill, bone stock and i hate not being able to view web pages as i would on my desk top. on my iphone i had UAFaker and could toggle between the settings. i have tried the "about:debug" in the browser addy bar but that still does nothing. any advise?

Try going and downloading any cut from market once installed use it to make a shortcut, pick activity then change uastring

As far as I can tell the stock browser on the Thrill has no ui option to change the user agent. I recommend 'xscope browser' from the market. Its pretty close to the stock browser visually and has the ua change option to view the pages as android, desktop, and can even change to fake the ua of the iphone. There are a ton of browser apps available in the market and most have this function built in. Thats just the one I personally recommend.
Of course if you insist on using the stock browser then this will be of no use to you

"Any Cut" is a program used for making shortcuts. You would search market for "Any Cut" then open it up, choose new shortcut, then activity, then change uastring. I haven't tried don't know if it will work or not but if you want desktop change the uastring to firefox's uastring. Either that or follow what aria was saying and get another browser. I use opera MOBILE not MINI and it has an option in settings/advanced to change from mobile and desktop, opera mobile works great and will give you full web browsing. It's nice having a full browser, I hate videos on youtube being "not available on mobile"

Thanks guys I'll give this stuff a better look when I get home later today

Home button opens google search instead of recent apps, how to fix?

Upgraded firmware to 5.0 but now holding down the home button just opens a google search. How can I get it back to how it was originally and have it open recent apps?

Thing is, that this is normal in LP, because google changed things in lollipop, i don't know for solutions or that there is some .

Reading on internet,i found that lollipop shuts down not working apps automaticly, so there is no need for an app manager

Looks like I just have to hold down the button on the right and that does it but how can I disable home button hold down? Why do they think I'm so desperate for a search I need a dedicated button for it?

my main app page went rouge- where the hell is it?

my main app page disappeared. now when I press the home button I goto this htc connect and share crap
any help on how do I get it back? thank you

any help please?

More info on your phone please. Is it rooted? If yes, what ROM do you have on it?

thanks for the help.
htc m7 stock. not rooted. we have the apps page when you press the grid button in the middle bottom of the screen. that shows all the apps that you can scroll up and down.
I made an app page of my liking by dragging and dropping apps I use often on a page and this first page of apps was my main screen it went to when I unlocked the phone. I dont know what happened but now the 2nd app page is there but the first is gone.
now when I press home button it goes to this htc page that shows the time date weather and says "connect and share with people from all your social networks. tape to start here" and under says "get the latest news that matters to you. tap here to start"
I dont care for this crap htc forces on me.
thank you

I think the launcher glitched, so that may explain this.
And if you don't like the stock launcher, you can always download another on on the Play Store.

[Q]Samsung internet default home page

I'm attempting to change my default home page on Samsung internet to something else, however whenever I launch it, it goes to Google. Any thing I'm missing? Cheers.

Try closing all your recent tabs. I wasn't able to start on my selected homepage until I did that. Now it works as it should.

That's odd, a new tab opens my home page. Maybe clear the cache on the app?

Yeah same here. All my new tabs open up to Google, no matter what I have my home page set to. Now if I hit the home button, it goes to my home page. But just opening a new tab, opens up to Google every time.

Why do I have Telekom page on my default page? I didnt buy my note 9 from telekom.

This is because the browser default page and/or the bookmarks can be made persistent by the vendor configuration in the ROM. Unfortunately without rooting and tampering with the XML file, I am not sure how to fix this aside from using an alternate browser.

Thank you. Exactly what I was looking for. Now I just need the one touch feature to turn off ad blocking and I will be happy.
