user agent faker

[Se7enth Sinn]

Is there anyway to fake the user agent for the stock browser?

There is but you need to be root as you have to overwrite some files.

I'd suggest trying Koush's CM 5.0.5.3. It's pretty smooth and has it built into the stock browser plus a ton of other options.

The dolphin browser you can set some different user-agents. I remember one choice was the iphone.

I don't think you need to root to change the user agent in the stock browser. I'll have to dig up details...

Here it is. Haven't tried it myself (I use xScope):

-Open browser
-Type "about:debug" in the address bar - press "go" Nothing will happen, this will only enable more options in the menu
-go to menu -> more -> settings
-scroll down to "UAString"
-Select "desktop"

Hi,

in the company I work we have WLAN which ist restricted to IPhone only. That sux, me being an Android 4.x user.

To log into the WLAN I just have to type in the normal stuff like Username and Password, that schouldn'T be the problem as the company doesnt know who hast what handy.

I already tried thje user agent thing above, my Browser is now an "IPhone"-Browser ;-), but the WLAN still doesnt work. Has anyone got some ideas of hwo I can get it to work?

Thx.
