It works for Iphone / Ipad. They claim an android version will available soon. Until then is there a work around for accessing the video feeds on BTN2GO.com
try using dolphin browser then go to setting and choose desktop/not android as the client thing (forgot what it is called)
I tried Dolphin & Dolphin Mini which has an iphone & ipad user agent.
No Luck

You need to use Desktop user agent as was suggested. Using iphone/ipad will still just get you the mobile site (iphone/ipad has an btn2go app, and one is being worked on for android). Since android does flash, you should be able to stream it once you get btn2go.com to think you're on a 'desktop' computer.

I hate mobile sites. I know a few browser apps do it but really want GB browser. (what is with Samsung screwing this browser up? They have the best screen in the industry (ok other than Iphone)...so why kill the real deal?: desktop site views???
No need for a new rom (although the CM7 browser has a huge selection of User Agents to choose from). Dolphin browser is free on the Market and has a desktop UA mode.

I Know that... as I said I'd really rather use GB browser... FStest one... I've tested them all many times. (I use boat browser mini now...2nd best in my 25 site download test).
But.. Do want GB.
I will look into C7 when more kinks are worked out.
type in url "about:useragent" to change user agent on stock browser. I like Opera Mobile the best though. It can download anything from filesharing sites.
There's a certain website I frequent on my PC that allows me to stream episodes of breaking bad, etc. It's a pretty simple straightforward search engine that links you to a streaming flash video. When I try from my phone, it brings me to a version of the site which only allows me to search and then download the file instead of streaming it.
Is there any workaround / fix / app that will trick the site into thinking I'm on a PC?
Thank you
Dolphin (I use mini) will let u change the User Agent to Desktop.

Basically all of the third party browsers allow you to change user-agents. I really like the default browser, if only it gives option to do permanent desktop mode or allow switching like third party browsers do.
There is a way to change the stock browser to do desktop mode, but it is only per session. if you close the browser and reopen it goes back to mobile view.
I use dolphin hd set to desktop user agent, allows for streaming on hulu and full turntable.fm

i use maxthon. you can change to desktop or other browser types in the option. if you use it on your pc or laptop too you can sync all uour bookmarks and stuff with it after you sign in. its faster than google chrome on a computer and the fastest ive found for my atrix. hopes this helps.
I use both Dolphin HD and Opera, but Dolphin doesn't work properly on this site. If you're in a thread with multiple pages the button for the last page is covered so it's difficult to get to, and if you try to search the thread the search pops up and disappears immediately. The back button on Dolphin doesn't work well if you click a link in Yahoo - you have to hit back multiple times before it works. Most sites do work ok though.
The stock CM7 browser will let you change user agents to Linux desktop, Mac desktop, Froyo, Eclair, iPhone, iPad and IE6

So i've tried searching this answer and I'm not finding awhole lot. This is becoming quickly annoying.
No matter what web program I download (for instance - Skyfire), websites on the SGS2 typically show up in the mobile version of a website.
I've looked here:
http://www.mobilephonetipsandtricks.com/2011/08/how-to-view-pages-in-desktop-mode-with.html
but there is no "View Mode" on the Tmo sgs2. In Skyfire I select desktop mode but that doesn't stop pages from loading mobile versions of themselves. I've even tried "about:debug" but that does nothing.
Heck I've even tried a factory reset.
Anyone have a for sure answer?
Use a browser that allows you to change the user agent to desktop rather than mobile, such as opera mobile.
I've never had that problem using Firefox. Sites which have a mobile site and a "normal" site tend to default to the normal site and I can only get mobile sites up if I preface a domain known to have a mobile site with the usual "m."
i use dolphon browser HD and set my user agent to desktop.
Works without problems.
Do you have the T-Mobile USA version? If so I would check its foum, as there may be a modded stock browser like for the i9100.
Dolphin HD, opera mobile and Firefox mobile all have options to display the normal website as default via user agent.

try opera mobile or mini, or u can install ics and then the stock browser has a "request desktop site"

its an option in your browser settings
I've got Dolphin HD and works perfect. Go to: more/settings/dolphin settings/user agent and choose Desktop. Restart browser and You ready to go. enjoy
Me and my friend cannot access this website from our android phones (mine is 2.3.4) for my workplace:
tinyurl.com/89mvcb5
It just pulls up a blank white page on my android phone. The page opens up without problems from my android tablet, ipad tablet, home pc/laptop, and iphone.
I though it was https issue but my android phone can open up other https websites. I also tried Dolphin HD browser with different user agents on the android phone without any success. Tried Opera mini - no go. Tried different proxy servers but still blank white page on my phone.
Do you guys have any suggestions?
Have you tried using the XDA app?
Thats odd, both Dolphin HD and Opera Mobile display a white page like you said. Its blank in Opera on the desktop but works in Chrome. Something must be wrong in the code somewhere. It does load correctly in Firefox, so that is probably your best bet.
Spunker88, nice job.
Firefox is working great. Firefox's code is doing something right that the other 3 browsers (google, dolphin, opera) aren't doing.
Decided to check it out.
Works here on my Ainol Novo7 Elf using Dolphin HD.
Grrr....................
nejc121, it also works on my android tablet. Site works on tablets but not on phones. It didn't work on my android phone 2.3.4 until I installed firefox. Your Ainol Novo 7 is a tablet.

Not this website as in XDA, this website as in the tinyurl link the OP posted.
Think I might try Firefox.

Try clearing the Data in your Browser and rebooting.
I need to use Internet Explorer on my mobile devices for my job. My company's as well as a few client's secure websites as require Internet Explorer to work correctly. I need to log into those websites to access data while I am working out in the field. Those websites absolutely require Internet Explorer.
Those websites do not even work on Firefox on PC or Safari on Mac. So far only a coworker's Windows phone with Internet Explorer seems to works. Everyone else with iPhone, iPad and Android phone have not been able to use their mobile devices, and we all have to use a laptop with Windows, which seems to defeat the purpose of having a mobile device.
I know Android does not have Internet Explorer, but is there some browser that can emulate Internet Explorer on Android?

Try Dolphin Browser... and try to change UA to Internet Ex (i think)... or Boat Browser
Inviato dal mio GT-S5570 con Tapatalk 2
maybe out of the thread ..
but try out emulating a pc .. ?
Like using your mobile as a controller of the pc
else try Opera if yo haven't , change the user agent into Desktop
hope it works well for yo ..
You can try Dolphin Browser since you can enter a custom user agent so the website will think you are using IE. If its only built to work with IE's rendering engine you may have issues, but often times these sites are mostly functional in other browsers unless they need ActiveX.
This user agent string will tell the site you are using IE8 on XP

You kust restored for me crucial functionality I thought I'd lost forever with the upgrade to 4.1.2. Much thanks.
Need to run site in compatibility view on IE 8 on android
Hi I have a similar issue with my phone and tab, need to login to secure server but even on PC the darn site needs to run in compatibility view for me to even be able to log in (IE 8-10 only) Have done the string like above opens the window but does not allow login as compatibility view is not enabled... Does the same thing as on PC if this is not enabled ( jumbles up the page and does not allow the login button to be clicked) Is there any way for me to get this working?
Please help.

This is my 3rd post about what I'm trying to get suggestions on with a browser I have been given access to that works only on Windows 10 in windows devices but also on any Android or iOS devices. The view mode can be changed from Android, to Safari, and between desktop/mobile. Mentioning this because noticed it does emulate ie on desktop mode. Could be the answer.
It is MX5, the latest version to Maxthon Browser, and it is worlds ahead of anything available for Android. I am trying to get suggestions as to setting up a thread for availability and such, and am sure you would have to create an account through a Maxthon Browser download from playstore. Has cloud storage as well as syncing favorites, open tabs, between devices. Also has the ability to store webpages offline now in their entirety, or just extract pics, vids that can be modded for use in other ways. Also has what is called UUMail built in you name your own webserver, enter email address into and create shadow (alias) email addresses to use online that are filtered for spam. Adblocking is builtin as well.
If this seems to be an answer, try Maxthon Browser off playstore, create a user account and password. Even if you change the view mode in it to desktop and that does not fix the IE compatability problem, maybe this version, MX5 will.

Here similar problem, wish/need/pray to acces with android browser to old website made for IE 5.0 and javascript... Under PC I sue IE Tab... Try install add-onson Firefox for android, but not works...
(
I need the same thing, I have a dodge service manual cd that uses internet explorer 7 and under to run properly, I have used internet explorer in dev mode to run it it using ie 7, also on chrome I used IE tab extension and they both work great for windows. The problem is on android nothing works. I have tried every browser. I have also tried Yandex browser which supports add on and have installed ie tab but it does not work. I also tried Firefox and install ie tab using chrome store foxified but again it does not work. I wish there was a way of running this cd on android. I think it needs activex, netscape, svg viewer and java script.
