Reaching, but thought it was worth a shot... Device User Agent Strings

---

Hey all,

Not sure if there is any way to mess with these settings, but I wanted to know if there was a way to change a devices UA String via command or app.

I do some mobile phone testing and I can emulate through FireFox, however, wanted to know if there was a way to emulate via the handset itself.

Example:

The UA String for the Nexus one (that we see (from stock)) is:

Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; U; Android 2.1-update1; en-us; Nexus One Build/ERE27) AppleWebKit/530.17 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0 Mobile Safari/530.17

And the UA String for the G1 is:

Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; U; Android HTC_Dream-1.13.0.1; en-us; dream) AppleWebKit/525.10+ (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/3.0.4 Mobile Safari/523.12.2

Now, each device has as different experience on our system and I wanted to emulate that on the Nexus.

Any input would be great!

Thanks!

Ok, found some information on Dolphin and Steel browsers letting you change your user agent, however, it only lets you change between Android, Desktop and iPhone.

I want something that will let me define my own user agent strings.
