hey guys. got my SGS today, loving it. and been playing with it since 5 hours non stop now lol
anyways, coming from a nokia n900, im used to the browser showing sites in full web version, not mobile version.
is it possible somehow to make it appear like that in SGS browser too?
cheers
go to the browser url bar, and type about:debug and enter.
nothing will happen, but now you can go to the browser settings from the menu, and scroll all the way down. there will be new menu options there. find the one which allows you to choose between desktop/android/iphone display for websites.
this is a little bugged, because for me after i did this from a fresh rom installation, i can access espn soccernet perfectly. but if i revisit the page it will load up the mobile version.
to view desktop pages permanently try skyfire browser from the market.
awesome maaan! thanx a bunch!!! u think this will work in froyo 2.2 also?
p.s i tried youtube.com desktop version. upload loading the video, the browser crashes. and kicks me to home screen.
so i suppose some sites are not quiet ready to be run n desktop mode on SGS.
perhaps froyo wioth 10.1 flash will solve this

Oddly enough with the stock browser and present 2.2 you cannot access the User Agent setting with About:debug.
Yea they removed it in 2.2, but why? I think it should be an option that is easy to access for everyone. This phone handles desktop sites almost as well as a PC, the big screen actually makes a lot of mobile sites look rubbish.
Sometimes we want mobile sites to save bandwidth, other times we want the full experience.
In Dolphin Browser HD you can get an addon called "Desktop Toggles" which adds a switch on the right toolbar for easy switching between desktop/mobile modes. With some performance and other small improvements it would be a perfect replacement for the stock browser.
One other annoyance with the stock browser is that even with it set to desktop you are still often sent to the "Touch" version of the site and then have to scroll to the bottom and click on full site link. Shame there is not a command line or script to set it to desktop proper.
With the screen real estate on the Galaxy S we should be given the option to view full desktop versions of websites. Often the mobile sites just don't cut it. We want the full version of websites on our phones.
I've noticed that when I use any browser other than stock, mobile web pages will not show on my NookColor. Has anyone else noticed this and if so, is there a way to fix it?
I have double checked in the settings to make sure that the user agent was correctly selected. Check out the attached screenshots to see what I mean.

Have you updated to 1.0.1 from B&N?
Yes, before AutoNooter.
Have you tried the "More Options" choice after tapping the rightmost (menu) button that is next to the address bar in the stock browser? It lets you select the user agent. Is that what you're looking for?
Let me clarify, I want to Use Dolphin HD, but mobile webpages don't show when using the app. They also don't work for Firefox, Miren or XScope. The user agent for each was set to android in each app.
The stock NookColor browser shows these pages just fine, but is particularly slow.
Do mobile webpages automagically show when you browse in a Non-Nook browser? If they work fine for others, I will just reset my Nook and start the root process over. But I don't want to do all of that if it's just normal behavior.
Same issue here on Dolphin HD. No matter what I do (clear data, change user agents, restart browser) it always displays the web page in "Desktop" format.
On a side note- Yesterday I had success watching html5 videos off Dailymotion, but today none of the videos work for me. Tried using the same video players and added a new one. Same result, can't play video. Does this happen to anyone else?
Looks like Firefox with the "Phony" Add-on works right.
I've had a lot of success making Dolphin use the iPad user agent.
There's a market app called User Agent Switcher. You call it up via Share Page in your browser. It worked fine for me in Dolphin.
using Ipad agent

is there something special you had to do to get this to work (other than change the default UA in Dolphin HD settings)? Is Dolphin set as your default browser? When I change to Ipad UA it still uses desktop (same with Android and Iphone).

I think it probably IS working (you can go to a site that lists your user agent to know for sure) . . . iPads display most pages in desktop versions (and why not, with a huge screen).
I tested it, and, at least for me, they all work in Dolphin except for Android (ironically) - which, strangely, reads as a Mac. The iPhone user agent will give you mobile views.
You can test by going to http://whatsmyuseragent.com
Thanks wvcachi. Earlier today I went to the market and saw the app User Agent Switcher but now it seems to be gone. Could you please post the APK?

(free app, but since it's removed from market, not sure if that means it's warez) ... Wonder why it was removed?
Getting same thing. A typical android user agent should look like this (from my Evo):
Code:
Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; U; Android 2.2; en-us; PC36100 Build/FRF91) AppleWebKit/533.1 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0 Mobile Safari/533.1
Instead, I get this, no matter which agent I select in Dolphin HD:
Code:
Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10_5_7; en-us; AppleWebKit/530.17 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0 Mobile Safari/530.17
Could it be something in Dolphin that is 'Froyo-only' compatible? A bug in the older webkit? Maybe I'll try the Dolphin mini and see if that works any different.
[edit]
Dolphin mini shows Mac as well.

I'm on 1.0 as well, and I'm able to change to all except for android.
I think it might be a 1.0.1 issue. User agent was working properly for me with 1.0 and Dolphin HD, but after I upgraded it no longer works.
can someone send me the apk for the user agent switcher??
i was trying to access the ipad version of gmail, but i cannot change the user agent on most of the browsers, most of them (dolphin HD and mini, miren), as a previous post said, always show this one
Code:
Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10_5_7; en-us; AppleWebKit/530.17 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0 Mobile Safari/530.17
no matter what i chose in the UA selection options
in opera mobile i was able to change it to the ipad specific UA, and it worked, but opera cant handle this specific gmail page.
i was trying to find that program "User Agent Switcher" but i cannot find it, could someone share it? (since it is free, i guess it wont be a problem)
I recently published my ReelPortal video chat/conference software for Android 2.2 (using Adobe AIR 2.5) at the AppsLib market:
http://appslib.com/applications/app.html?ida=31520
I don't have a G Tablet, but would like to compile a list of devices that the app works on. So I'm looking for testers out there.
Please provide feedback if you try it. Thanks.
For more info on testing, please visit www.ReelPortal.com.
I just added another version reelportalX.apk (version 1.0.1). This version is working fine now. I suggest using it instead of the older one.
You must get Adobe AIR 2.5.1 from Android Market, or you can download the Adobe AIR SDK (http://www.adobe.com/products/air/sdk/), and get it in subdirectory runtimes\air\android\emulator, or runtimes\air\android\device. I found that Adobe doesn't allow posting the AIR apk on a website. Note: don't use the AIR link in post #6.
If you want to test chat with other folks around the world, please join the "xda" room (all lower case). Capacity is limited .
firewater2003:
Install Adobe Air 2.5.1 from here: http://download.pandaapp.com/?app=soft&controller=android&action=show&f_id=2291
Beware of TNT dashboard:
MoonPops: I kept getting the black screen while starting up ReelPortal in the TNT dashboard home, but it works fine in the Android Home Classic screen interface.
Firmwares that were confirmed to work:
Stock TNT 3588 (do NOT use TNT dashboard)
TnT 4.1.0
TNT lite 5.01
VEGAn-TAB-v1.0.0B5.1
can not find adobe air in market... running tnt 3.1.2
when I launch reelportal app, it get a blank screen
I did find adobe air 2.5 and installed it from another source.
I installed Adobe Air and your. apk and everything installed fine. Web cam and interface came up and seems to work fine. Only problem is, I don't have anyone to chat with, so I don't know how well that works......lol.
worked between my Droid 1 and my Gtablet.

Same experience here. Stock 3389 with performance pack. Grabbed Air from another XDA post (2.5.15320). It just comes up to a blank screen.
Can those who got it to work link the apk they located?

Hi,
I found this:
http://reelportal.blogspot.com/
Is this your website?
If I'm understanding how this works (when it works), these chats go through your chat server, and the way that we would do one-to-one video chats would basically to "join" a chat on your chat server?
Thanks,
Jim
Installed air and reelportal. Just a black screen for me too, running TnT lite 3.1.3

Jim:
Yes, that's my "readme" page for my ReelPortal dot com site. Sorry I'm not allowed to post any links .
You are correct on the server. It routes the data from the clients to each other. However, the clients can also do peer-2-peer with each other (this is the default mode). When first started, the clients all connect to my server to sign on. The server checks for name conflict and room availability, and authorizes the session. If you are in a room, the server connects you to all the clients in the room automatically. Of course, you can call individual person if you know their name(nick). You can also disconnect from any client you want.
In p2p mode, all video/audio traffic goes directly from client to client(s). The server doesn't have to process it. If you select client/server mode, then the server receives your stream and distribute it to all subscribing clients. This lessen your uplink bandwidth if you have multiple subscribers.
The next version will allow you to specify your own server. And yes, you can run your own server on linux, windows, or macOS. And perhaps other platforms too, if you are inclined to do so. An older server version is currently available from my download page, but I will release the newer version in conjunction with the next client.

To test, you can actually call yourself . Once connected, press button 7 (P2P), and select "Send to Server" mode. Then, press one of the "blue head" on the right, then press the ">" button on the dialog. A list will appear, and your nickname is the always the first one on the list. Click it, and you should see your own stream feeding back to you. Basically:
Your video ----> Server -----> Your device
Or if you have a computer, just run the web client on your computer, join the same room on both devices, or call the other's nick to establish connection. Hope that helps.

If it's a blank white screen, then perhaps it's not finding the server. Is your internet connection available or slow? Ideally, I should have some status indicator to be a bit more user friendly.
I also tried the adobe air file posted here, but reelportal apk only opens to a blank screen still. What are we doing wrong?

I ran a brief loopback test under low 4g in Philadelphia. Performance looked good but I was unable to select front camera on EVO. I will play with this some more but front camera access is a must.

Thanks. Apparently, the front camera can't be access at this time . I googled this:
"AIR does not currently support the front camera.
In fact, the Android OS does not natively support the front camera. The device manufacturer provides a separate Java library that makes the camera available to Java apps."
I wonder if Android 2.3 supports multiple cams.
Also, is the front camera access problem the same for all tablet devices? Or is it device dependent?
To answer my own question: android 2.3 supports multiple cameras.

Has anyone else this problem, where only part of an image is shown because it's loaded in full resolution? For me it's happening in Tumblr, several twitter clients, and Facebook in Chrome.

Happens
Happens to me sometimes in Chrome. I think it's something that only occurs when the pic is set like a pop up or new tab image. It does not happen everywhere which leads me to believe its an html glitch on the page that is outdated and needs revision. Have you asked other's at the site you are visiting if they are seeing this as well on their mobile? device?
happens to me on the mobile facebook page (i refuse to install facebooks crappy app that no longer lets me sort by most recent as a default). if i reload the page, it works fine, but it's a little annoyance.

Facebook's page manager along with their app should let you have that functionality. Try it.

Hello
And happy new year to everyone!
This is my first week on Lumia 735 after being 6 years with Android.
I like very much it's desktop, but there are some simple things that I thought until now I would figure out but I cannot find a solution....
1. How can I download a PDF from an email and then attach it to another email?
2. Is there a way to have a shortcut on notification bar for data connection?
3. Is there a way to remove Bing and get Google as default engine?
4. Is there a way to tide up settings? I feel that are randomly scattered...
5. Is there a way to open a new tab in internet explorer, but open in background? Cause we are always transferred to the new tab.
Thanks!
I'm on the same phone since about 4-5 days, so I have not yet answers for you, but another question to add:
- why on some apps the keyboard doesn't turn in landscape mode when I flip the phone? I found it working on some apps only, but in Bing search (just an example) it remains in portrait
EDIT: a bit of googling partially answers to 3: I'm a newbie so I don't know if I can link external sites here, but it seems you can change the default search engine in Internet Explorer in the browser settings (so when you type words in the address bar, it uses Google instead of Bing). Regarding the phone search button, maybe the trick is not so easy...
1. did you see download in email message? click on that link to download file to your phone.
2. with latest WP OS 8.10.14219.341 you can add mobile data shortcut in action center
or use Quick Launch app from store
3. settings - applications - internet explorer, select advanced settings and change to google
4. no... latest updated is always at end of list...
5. not exactly... try UC Browser 8.1, maybe you like it better than IE
Download a app named File attacher,it can help you to attach any files into outlook client.
Sent from my AT&T Nokia Lumia 920 using Tapatalk for Windows Phone
1) Download the file to your phone. You can then open it from the email (which will let you choose what PDF viewer to open it with, if you have more than one installed; some of them directly support sharing) or you can then switch to a file manager app (Files, Pocket File Manager, Aerize Explorer, etc.), go to the Downloads directory, and share the file from there. When "sharing" the file, one option will be to use email; this will attach the file to the email. This approach also works for other file types, by the way.
2) As dxdy says, you need to be on a new OS version (you may need to be using the "Preview for Developers" app) to get the ability to add mobile data specifically to the Action Center (swipe-from-top notification area thing) but there are lots of other ways (tons of free apps, for example) to pin a link to it on your Start screen. You can also have both WiFi and Airplane Mode toggles on the Action Center, even in less-than-newest versions.
3) Not unless you're in Russia, I think? You may be able to change the IE default search engine using the method dxdy posted above, but if you want to change the search button behavior, that's trickier. I think in Russia (or possibly just tell your phone you are), if you have the Google app installed, it may run that... haven't tried, though.
4) Settings are, unfortunately, not directly orderable. The default order for Microsoft-provided settings is basically "what MS has found people use most often", thus things like visual and audio customization are at the top, WiFi is on the first page, and stuff like Backup requires scrolling down a bunch. There's also OEM customizations, which are technically just Store apps that are pre-installed and use the Settings hub instead of the normal app list; those are always listed underneath all the Microsoft settings, and (as dxdy says), the one that was most recently installed/updated is at the top of that section ('top of the bottom of the list' if you will).
5) Doesn't seem to be any such way in IE, but there's lots of other browsers. Most of them just wrap the IE rendering engine, so pages will look the same as on IE but the UI can be totally different. This includes changes to tab management. They won't sync with your other devices, at least not by default, though. There's also a beta of Opera for WP8; it still has some bugs but mostly works and has a very different UI from IE. Annoyingly, though, Microsoft doesn't allow any of those apps to be set as the default browser (you can't change the URI association for http:/https: for example).
@axxel84: It depends on whether the app supports landscape mode. That requires work from the developer, since they have to change the layout of everything, so a lot of apps don't support it. If the app doesn't support it, then it will be locked in one orientation no matter how you turn it, keyboard included. Some apps (mostly games) are also locked in landscape mode only, and don't support portrait.
Hi guys, thanks for the help but I am still finding difficult to compose with windows after coming from fully updated Android phones.
- pdf attachments, not possible. You can see that you download files but no where to be seen in order to attach them in another email! What????
- the option to change Bing to Google was in the past, but they don't have it on new phones. And this is the company that wants to increase market share? With these kind of acts I don't think they will last many years...
- I found a way to have a shortcut on desktop that takes me to settings and there to click on for data. But why don't they include this in notification option? How difficult is this?????
- the other frustrating thing I am feeling, is that most other times when resuming an app when I go out and then in, it starts the"resuming" screen and takes 5 seconds to load... For example viber, I can't chat instantly with someone, I have to leave the program on continuously to do this
- no led notification. I should have known earlier by reading reviews, but there is no led notification!!
- no major apps as official pinterest, dropbox, instagram, sms backup to gmail. My biggest disappointment is Dropbox... I am thinking of selling the phone now and going back to Android. Having two small twins, I take continuously videos and photos, and I don't want to think about backup. I found another application but doesn't sync videos automatically. And also the backup app of windows doesn't do automatically the job... If I was windows I would hire people to help these companies develop the "big" apps...
- notification center doesn't always work. for example when a new app is downloaded, nothing comes app on notification. Or in viber you might get 10 messages on notification, if you click one and then in viber you read all, they remain on notification
Nobody seems to have emailed me a PDF recently, but I can download them from the web and they show up in my Downloads folder (on my SD card, since that's where I told Storage Sense to put new downloads). From there, I can see it in Aerize Explorer, select it, Share it, and choose an email account; a new message is created with the file attached.
Some new phones have the option for Google search, but it's not in all regions.
As you have ALREADY been told, the option to toggle data service from the Action Center is available in the latest version. It's also largely un-needed; Data Sense and related settings should give you enough control over your data usage to make it fairly unimportant. Mind you, I agree that it should have been there from the start, but asking rhetorical questions isn't actually helpful.
The "Resuming..." screen can come up for two reasons (or a combo thereof):
1) Badly-coded app that does a bunch of stuff immediately on resume, before it lets you use the app.
2) Your phone ran low on RAM and removed the app from background execution ("tombstoned" it, sort of like hibernating a laptop), so it needs to be restored from the Flash storage and then resumed.
Lots of phones don't have notification LEDs. That's not a WP8 thing, that's a "if this feature is important to you then you ought to buy a phone with that feature" thing. My HTC has a notification LED, my Samsung did not. Both are/were WP8 devices.
Automatic backup of photos and videos is included in the OS, has been included since WP7 actually, but it goes to OneDrive (formerly SkyDrive) instead of Dropbox. Microsoft software uses Microsoft services; this isn't really surprising.
SMS is automatically backed up as well, just not to Google. Why would Microsoft include a feature to back up your messages to a competitor's service?
Lack of official apps is somewhat annoying/disappointing, but you could have easily enough checked that before buying, and the apps will come in time. In the meanwhile, there's usually third-party versions of those apps.
App downloads are fast, and you know when you started them. Why would you need a notification for that? As for the thing with Viber, it's not the OS' fault that the app doesn't report when a message is read. Notifications are really easy to clear though, just swipe them to the right and all notifications for that app will clear (or hit the "clear all" button to get rid of all of them at once).
