[Q] Browser settings - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all
Whenever I restart my phone my default browsing setting will go back to custom (thru about:useragent). I have set it to desktop view but it always reverts.
Im on default browser. Any encounter?

Hi,
In the dev section, you will find a way to fix permanently the useragent.
It's the only way to avoid return to stock useragent when rebooting.
Perhaps you could use Alternative to the stock browser, like DolphinHD witch could do the same easier .

Browser Hides Notifications...

Is there a way to stop the notification bar from getting covered by the full screen browser?
This annoys me as well. Any fixes other than using an alternate browser?

Nothing I'm aware of, short of using an alternate browser. You can always just press "Menu" whenever you feel like checking the Notifications bar though. Its a simple enough workaround.
i just tried overriding the default browser with the default android browser and i failed. this annoys me also.
If youre familiar with about:debug, run that and see if there is an option to change that. I only used it to change the ua string

I used root explorer and replaced the HTC browser with the android stock one. Works okay for me, but breaks long-pressing. Can still select text via the menu.

Hopefully the devs will figure out how to get around this in their Sense roms

after you did this did you have to fix permissions?

[Q] Browser desktop hack

So, as the title suggests, is there a hack for the browser which allows you to view all pages in desktop mode? I tried the about:debug mode but there was no options for the UAstring as were in 2.2 froyo.
so my question is, is it possible to view pages in desktop mode in default browser which i find the best browser out there.
ps. first post

Lost my Browser?

OK this is a new one on me. All I did was flash a deodexed rom and now for some reason I have lost my Browser icon/shortcut. Now it gets even weirder, it is only missing from TouchWiz. I have installed GoLauncher and it shows up there. Now I know that I could just continue to use GoLauncher but the fact that I can't get the Browser launch shortcut to show up in TouchWiz bugs me. Would anyone be kind enough to explain where I screwed up?
What replaced it? If it's still in the apps drawer, you can put it back in. Apps drawer-menu-view type-customizable grid-menu-edit.
Nope, not in the app drawer or in the dock. Nothing replaced it. The browser.apk is still located in the system/app folder however it just does not show up anywhere when running TouchWiz.

Check for app called "Web" instead of Browser
There is no app in the dock or drawer called web or internet or browser or anything with a globe as an icon. It is for some reason just not visible in TW.

Have you tried reflashing, or even restarting?

(Q) default phone/contacts

I was wanting to know the way to replace the system phone/contacts with rocketdial? I've tried this before,by deleting system phone and contacts thru TB but got tons of FCs.

you dont need to delete anything install app and then change phone and contact shortcuts icons in your home screen by the ones of the app
howver you can use system contacts if you want and after install the app if you go to a contact and press to make a call it will ask you wich dialer you want to use by definition you mark the box and choose app dialer and thats it...
i try it, before post sorry for my english but dont delete those apps from system the solution is right there.
just press thanks if i help you
Hi...
I am currently using Neko95 GingerSnap, and, since i tried MIUI, i loved the UI, i use ExDialer.
When i missed a call, the notification only disappear (automatic) if i open the stock app.
I Linked exdialer to ex partition of sd, rebooted and converted to sys app (Link2SD).
You still have the stock apps, but they are small...
The next thing that i will try, after consult the community if it works, is to, before flash, exchange the stock apps for the ones that i will use... (if someone that reads this can tell, please...)
With best regards, Shaib Lftg
Are you talking about extracting the rom than replace the phone and contacts apk with the dialer and contacts you plan on using ie...rocket dial and renaming it to phone.apk and vice versa

I don't like the idea of having multiple applications which have the same function on my phone... ie...
Stock browser-dolphin browser, stock mms-go SMS pro..you get the picture...

Help with default settings

I'm sorry to be asking such a basic question but I can't figure it out.
I've reflashed to 4.1.2 today, and was messing about with settings. Now when I press to change default ringtone/notification it takes me too es file explorer. How can I change this so it takes me back to standard list?
Thanks in advance

Go to menu, settings, applications, all applications. And find ES file explorer and clear defaults.
If this doesn't work then you need to find the app that you set to default. I think its android system.
Again clear defaults.
This problem arises when you set an app as the default program to be run when you want to run a certain protocol or set something.
So for instance, if you have two web browsers installed and then you open a link, the system asks you do you want to set one as default always and you choose one and set it, then every time you open another link, that browser would be used from then onwards.
All you have to do is fine the app within applications and remove the defaults .
Hope this helps
