Default Web Pages Show In Mobile View

All my webpages are showing in mobile view. I have looked all through the settings and cannot find the option to make everything show up like I am on a PC.

Does anyone know if this can be done, I have been able to do this on my previous HTC phones. I have loaded Dolphin Browser HD and Xscope but they still both also show some pages in mobile view.

Thanks.

After playing with different settings in multiple browsers, if you download xscope browser and tell it your an ipad it makes everything show up correctly. I tried desktop view in that browser but some things still came up as mobile view.

Egads, this is my #1 annoyance. although this is a Google thing and not Samsung, per se. HTC Sense however has an option in the browser settings to disable mobile view pages from coming up (doesn't disable WAP capability though so you can still open a wap page manually).

i tried the manual method where you enter that debug command in the address bar and then go into the settings where you can change it from mobile to desktop (and iphone lol) views and other phones the 'desktop' view takes care of it, but i tried it on the Vibrant and then it renders the browser unusable until you reset the browser.

I came to this site to post about this but someone beat me to it. I hope there is a solution out there. I also think its really stupid that these websites think they need to show android phones their mobile views.

Maybe someone can push one of the other ROM's browser .apk to this phone. The browser on the rom I'm using has an option in the settings to change your User Agent.

Hey guys/gals, try something out for me (I don't have a V so I can't)

Open up your stock browser.

Type “about:debug” in the address line and press enter. (No quotations)

Hit “menu” and then select “Settings.


You should now see all kind's of debugging settings including "UA String"

Click that and select "Desktop"

Let us know if it worked

Thanks!

AFter typing about:debug in the browser address window you have to press menu, then settings and then go down to the bottom and look for UAstring. That is how it works on the Nexus. I don't have a Vibrant yet either but it is on the way.

May be Sammy did something to the Browser app... can we get few more confirmations that it in fact does not work?

Other solution could be to rip out Browser.apk out of CM 2.1 rom and try installing or ADB pushing it to the system.
