How to set Galaxy to disable mobile versions of Web sites?

[MikeSp]

On my Evo, it was easy to use settings to keep it from opening the Mobile Versions of Web sites but I, so far, am unable to determine how to do that with the Galaxy tab10.1

It is annoying to have a screen that large open a web site that has been shrunk and does not come close to what I see on my computer screen OR on my Evo.

Solutions/thoughts??

You have to type about debug. Every time or find a rom that enables full web. Its a downside of honeycomb. Plenty of info on it. This my largest gripe on honeycomb tablet.

In the address bar enter about:debug and click go.
Then go into settings and click debug. Then click ua string and select desktop. Now just enter about:debug and click enter again. Hope this helps!

For some reason Samsung doesn't make it easy to use Desktop mode in their stock browser. You can use the about:debug settings, but I got tired of having to re-do it every other day.

The easiest thing to do is download Dolphin HD from the market. For me it has been a very stable, smooth browser.

3 options

1. Do the about:debug method every time you launch the stock browser.

2. Download Dolphin HD or Opera browsers.

3. Doc over at xda created a mod for stock browser... [MOD] Browser useragent set to "Desktop" for 7510 and 7500 Update 5/8: UEKMB added - xda-developers

If you don't know what your doing, please don't attempt number 3.

I personally use Dolphin HD, many customs for Dolphin settings to suit your needs. Just wish HBO go and Max go would work better.

I returned an Asus Transformer a couple of months ago, and the stock browser had an option in the settings menu to select the user agent string. Maybe the mfgs use their own 'special sauce' in the browsers.

My Verizon Tab has the desktop setting.

Yes, it does say desktop, the problem is that everytime you fire up the browser it defaults back to loading mobile sites. You have to do the about:debut and browser settings every time. Dolphin HD for me.

I'm on unrooted Touchwiz with the latest patch. When I type about:debug in the address bar, nothing happens. This is a WiFi-only unit. Has Samsung disabled the settings in the browser?

After typing about:debug, then enter, open the settings. You should see some new options.
