Desktop version of websites do not lead... - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717

Say for example I go to ebay.com on the stock browser. I automatically get sent to the mobile site....on the bottom.of the page there is a link for the full site. If I click that link I get an error page saying something along the lines of "this page doesn't exist blah blah blah....." anyone else have this issue? Am I missing something?

I've been using Chrome browser which gives you the option to see desktop sites and works flawlessly.

just use a different browser

Or everytime you open the browser type ABOUT:USERAGENT into the searchbar and press enter, now wait a second then you will get a popup. Choose DESKTOP and all sites will be desktop versions by default. If the browser is minimized you do not have to do this again but if it is closed you have to do it again.

[Q] always surfing in mobile mode

I have no clue why this thing wont let me surf in desktop mode. My home page is set to yahoo.com not m.yahoo.com and even then it pops up as mobile yahoo. Manyof the sites too that i open from desktop mode search open as mobile..... Its annoying. I have searched for a setting to default to desktop mode but cant find it. Any know if there is hope for me? How do i get around this?
In default browser, under advance settings. There is the select user agent

The user agent doesn't stick unless you're rooted, so I'm lead to believe. I'm using Dolphin which will let you select desktop from the settings.
Yeah, I use dolphin for pad and the settings stay in desktop. The stock launcher doesn't.

I have the stock on 10.1 so i guess thats an issue i just have to deal with. Im not about to root it or start modifying it, lol, i would do it wrong and for sure render it useless. Thanks.
Just install Dolphin browser from the market.

Browser redirect to market.

Anybody know a way to stop the default browser from redirecting to market whether I type it in or tap a link?
Tap http://www.speedtest.net to see what I mean. Running stock RAZR.
Thanks

Use a browser that will allow you to change your user-agent and change your user agent to desktop.
(Not sure if the stock one does that)
I grabbed Opera Mobile and set it for desktop and it worked as expected. But would rather see the mobile sites sometimes. I guess google knows better than me what I want.

It's not Google, it's speedtest that's shutting you out of their site. Reminds me of forums that give you the annoying Tapatalk nag every time you bring up a page.
Some browsers have the "Request desktop site" option. This will take you to the actual page (most ICS browsers have it).

Adobe Flash Player

I've installed Adobe Flash Player 11 and 11.1 but when I go to the web it still doesn't work. I am missing something???

Could you give more info about your problem. Try to explain the situation and in detail your moves. If you cant open webpage give a link then someone can check this. There may be a lot of things so be clear. Btw hi everyone
Yeah, when I go to certain websites like http://almoproav.com it says ''Content on this page requires a newer version of Adobe Flash Player''
Then I click on the adobe link and it takes me to Google Play and instead of '' install now'' it says ''update''. I click on update, go back to that website and still get ''Content on this page requires a newer version of Adobe Flash Player''
Help!!!!!!

In stock browser at right upper corner you have 3 vertical dots. Tap on it. then settings -> advanced -> enable java script must be thick, enable plugins always on. You should now open flash animation on this page. If not uninstall all installed flash players and install only one. There is no need to have it both ( or I misinterpreted sth) Check if its ok. If not force desktop view. To do this you must write down about:debug sentence on adress of site to enable extra options. Then go settings -> debug-> ua string . You will have there android, desktop, iphone, ipad, etc. Try change between this and refresh site. That should help
Update.....
I just realized that it only happens with Google Chrome.... When I use Sony web browser it works just fine...
Why is this??.

LastPass on Ocean Browser

I have just changed browsers from Dolphin to Ocean and would like to continue using LastPass which was available as a Dolphin plug-in.
Does anyone know if it is possible to use LastPass with the Ocean browser?
Thanks
For any other browser, I change the keyboard to LastPass and fill it in using the button on the bottom.
Not ideal, but it mostly works.

Thanks for your reply but I don't understand what you mean when you say "I change the keyboard to Lastpass".
Can you give more detail please.
The lastpass android app has a keyboard you can enable. If you leave the keyboard input selector on all the time, when you get to a web form, you can switch to the lastpass keyboard and fill in the username and password.
It isn't the most efficient method, but it works most of the time.

Thanks for making it clearer. I'll give it a try.
Let me know if you need any more clarification.
It would be nice if ocean browser would let me install the last pass bookmarklets, but when I try to add them manually it says I cant add that kind of URL. Has anyone found a way to add the bookmarklets?

How to watch Amazon Prime Videos?

Does anyone know is there any method to be able to watch Amazon Prime videos on my Sprint Note 3 SM-N900P rooted with NC5.
Thanks for your help.
Just go to the desktop amazon site via chrome and watch a video.
Edit: never mind, looks like this doesn't work anymore.
I watch prime and hulu.
find patched flashplayer for kitkat (its posted on xda multiple times) and use browser that lets you change useragent to desktop... i use dolphin.
In your prime video settings make sure flash is selected and not silverlight and it will work.

Also the new dolphin doesn't have an option to select browser as desktop. And I didn't find any silverlight option.

Im not googling everything 4 u but here http://www.google.com/search?q=xda+dev+kitkat+flashplayer
Its the first link.
I update dolphin every time, newest version does have user agent settings.
As for flash/silverlight setting in amazon look harder. Same for desktop mode in dolphin, look harder its there.

Thanks, I just found out the only thing I have to change was the desktop mode and it works. I found that to change to desktop mode as default you need to open a Web page and the it gives you the option. Then a message will appear about silverlight or flash when you try to watch a movie for first time, I just select flash and that's it watch and it looks ok. Not bad.
Thanks a lot idone.
