Samsung browser textt size - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6

On previous Galaxy s devices, the text size could always be increased. That feature seems to now be gone.
How do I go about accomplishing this? I used to set mine to 150%.

Sorry, I meant exclusive to the web browser only. On past devices/browsers this was a setting within the browser.

xda premium....well worth it
Xda same with tapatalk.font size still small. It only can select 2 font size.
I'm just using the standard browser of the GT8.9 (which is way better than dolphin, opera & the rest in my opinion) and it works perfect for this forum (in landscape mode).
I feel opera better.

i can't stand not having tabbed browsing so i uninstalled all my forum apps. both standard browser and opera are fine for me.
I also wish there would be a larger font option in the App besides two they have now.

User agent faker

Ok I recently tried going on to Louis Vuitton's website and it loaded the mobile site, I looked around for the desktop version button but it seams I'm stuck on the mobile site
So I was wandering if there is any user agent apps to change change the settings I know ics has a request desktop version button but untill then what's the solution?

You can change useragent in the stock browser by entering: about:useragent in the browser, but it will reset itself every time you exit the browser. You can also install Opera, Boat Browser or Dolphin (and many more) and set the user agent in the settings.

Thanks ill try that out, I prefer the original web browser, pretty weird they don't use chrome browser as default browser and you cannot import chrome settings and bookmarks from desktops

Hey I just checked and there is no, about option in the browser to switch the UA
Composed on my Samsung Galaxy Note using XDA Premium app
Do you type it into the adress field? if "about:useragent" doesn't work then try "config:useragent"
Well, in CM7 and Streak Froyo/GB it is "about: debug"
I just tried it and that brings up a ton of different options under more and settings... But no UA.
I use Dolphin for desktop mode... when I'm not running CM9 alpha.
Its about:useragent

Fyi.... ICS in fact does automatically syncs your chrome bookmarks and of course has request desktop site as a menu option.
Ok I'm sorry I didn't realise you have to type it in the address bar I thought it was in the settings but i got it figured, I just hope the ics would be worth the wait I mean comparing it to the ios 5 doesn't really seem that big of a deal, does have cool features but..... still lacks alot

Pop up ads

I've been getting stupid pop up ads on my phone for the last week or so. I read that on 4.2+ I can long press on the ad and it'll tell me which app is causing this but it's not working for me. I'm using Dodol launcher; could that be why? I've also tried TrustGo Ad Detector and it doesn't tell me squat. How do I find out exactly which app is causing these ads so I can get rid of it?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using XDA Free mobile app
Is there anything in the notification window when these ads popup? Do you have a screen shot?
I ask because there seems to be two different kinds of ads: those who have a notification and those who don't. With the first kind, you can just do what you said and kill the app's notifications. If it's the second kind, you will have to uninstall anything that may be causing it until it goes away.
My wife used my old S3 for a while and was plagued by this problem. I had never seen it before, but she had a few shopping apps that I don't use.

There's nothing in the notification bar. The really sucky part is that I downloaded quite a few new apps and now I have to get rid off most of them just to be sure.

Thanks for buid.prop edit solution. I'm in the USA on a Verizon S4, edited my build.prop to look like a Sprint note 2 and tripled the number of apps available in the store. I did notice I am not seeing a few of the apps that Phil999 posted pictures of and he is on a stock S5. I can see a clock face called Notification Watch that Phil posted but it is not showing with my note 2 workaround. Gotta do some more digging in the forums to see if someone has posted what the S5 build.prop edit is.

If Phil999 could post the values from his build prop we should be able to get the same apps as he sees.
Phil999 could you post the values for the following from your build prop
Code:
ro.product.model=SPH-L900
ro.product.name=t0ltespr
ro.product.device=t0ltespr
It would be a big help to us all.
I wonder if we could mirror some of the free app somehow , not sure on the legality of it though.

I think Phil is on a stock S5 probably not rooted so he may not be able to get into the system folder to look at the build.prop. The model number for the Sprint S5 is SM-900PZKASPR, so it may be we just need to change that in the build.prop. I will give it a try when I get home tonight.
I was thinking it might be useful to have an app that gave you a list of phones /models and set the build prop appropriately. This could significantly simplify the process.
I'll be looking into creating this over the next few days, the hard part will be building a database of models with settings that work.
Sent from my SM-N9005 using XDA Free mobile app
On Note 3 in Germany (all Stock) only about 30 Apps available at all.
If you have root access to go into your system/build.prop file then go to the below linked post. All you need to change is the model then save and reboot. You should have access to more apps. I change my model to a Galaxy S5 which I think gave me access to all the available apps.
ro.product.model=SAMSUNG-SM-G900A (this is the only line in build.prop you need to edit)

Thanks for the link to the article. I had read that article but it seemed that people on AT&T were able to access those features, so I was wondering if I was missing something.

Discovered yesterday if you have your phone in a app that you can put in landscape mode if you pull down your quick settings you'll see s finder and quick connect there. Why you can't find them regularly is beyond me. But hope that helps you out. Though just saw you don't seem to have the options period so that is quite odd.
This is what I see on my quick panel.
As you can see, I don't have the S Finder and Quickconnect options.

That's odd as I don't have sbeam, multi window and a Couple other ones in mine. I actually saw someone in another forum who's layout of settings was completely different than mine. I suppose if you really use these features a lot you could try to Odin the original firmware and I'd think it should be there. Seems as this would be the only solution sadly. Though then in that case s beam will be gone along with a couple others. Now I'm kind of upset that I don't have a way to use s beam on my phone it's installed just non existent hah.

S beam was replaced by android Beam and is usuable through aps like Gallery or Es explorer to share with other phones that are NFC capable. This looks like the pull down from an S5 rather than an s6. which is really odd can you take a screenie of your Phone info. and show build number and such.

That I know but android beam sucks and goes through Bluetooth instead of sbeam using WiFi and Bluetooth. And from what I've seen editing the build.prop could enable s finder and quick connect.

Well that is certianly odd. to say the least. its like you have a S5 quick toggle drop..as air guesture and S beam were removed, one because ((S - beam cause Google produced a more universally working version and air gesture was more a battery hog than actually usefull)) But your build props and Device match description though. well quick connect, only usefull if you have a Smart tv and you want to show whats on your phone and google now pretty much can do what S-find does.)) but really other that doing a a full Odin with the stock firmware I don't know what to say.

One of the especially aggravating strategies carriers use is to meddle with the UI. Verizon crippled or removed a number of features on my Note 7. Thus I could not find Samsung Cloud Backup (15GB Free storage), or Quick Connect. I know VZW wants to sell me storage, but why do the care abou Quick Connect? Beats me. However, a user on another forum posted a solution. Download the app QuickShortcutMaker, install, then run. There are three categories. Scroll down ACTIVITIES and you will see Quick Connect ...as well as other missing components. Not all activities can be linked to a shortcut, only the main program. Quick Connect has more than four activities associated with it. The com.samsung.android.qconnect.ui.Main Activity seems to be the one to choose. Tap on it and then you'll see a screen to choose a shortcut, etc. I believe this can also be done with Nova Launcher, but I prefer to keep the original launcher or Google's launcher.
