Default Browser trouble

Does anyone have a fix for the browser defaulting to mobile view and setting it to desktop view? i cannot find a fix to this in the settings. This wasnt an issue on the Evo.

it is very annoying to scroll down to the bottom of every page and click desktop view. some pages like ESPN do no even have this. Even after to select desktop it will go right back to mobile view if you move to another page within the same site.

I couldn't find this setting in the default browser either. Pretty sure there isn't a option to change the user agent in 2.1 stock browser.

You can always switch to Dolphin HD or xScope which allow you to switch user agents.

I'm in the same boat. On my rooted hero xscope browser with the user agent set to computer worked perfectly. On the epic you can set it to computer and it stills goes to the mobile sight. I really need to figure it out for ESPN. No fantasy football and this baby is going back to the store lol

Open the browser then type in about:debug and hit enter. It wont do anything after hitting enter but if you go into options you will now have a option to change the UAString from mobile to desktop. The option is at the bottom of the option list.
