Samsung Galaxy S2 - Tips & Tricks - Browsers User Agent

[bigglyguy]

I have a question - how do I get my wife's Galaxy Note browser to re-arrange the text for easy reading, like it does on my HTC Incredible S? I tried "Dolphin" but it didn't really seem any different. With my phone it's easy, just pinch-zoom and the text gets bigger yet still fills the screen. With the Samsung you have to keep scrolling from side to side?

Please.i did not understand the video.

[gatersaw]

Sam I should have listened to you initially. I bought a Nexus from VZW and was disappointed with battery life. Switched to Blackberry Bold 9930 and was equally unimpressed with battery but now very disappointed with screen size and usability within websites. Finally I took the Bold back and exchanged for a Galaxy S2 which is my favorite phone of all time Battery is amazing, speed is amazing, it's super light weight. Thank you for posting such informative videos.

@schwalbstar, @ericanthonyedaddy, @samjpullen you can do the agent change. type "about:useragent" then pres the serch and you will get it "about:useragent" dont type the ""... have fun!

[PTYmodzzXB]

@samjpullen how can i make that work on my s2. i have the american or central american version.?????

[evilet1111]

Doesn't save settings.. Worthless.. :(

[ahmednoe]

Is it possiable to make a jailbreak alike for android?

[badrbadr2009]

[jollydhall]

[jamesjwanczuk]

[Ericanthonyedaddy]

why does this galaxy s2 look diff than mines.???

[samjpullen]

@Ericanthonyedaddy International version ?

[Ericanthonyedaddy]

@samjpullen ohh ok..I was confused.! lol

[samjpullen]

@Ericanthonyedaddy lol its cool, its so hard when the American networks get there changed for no real reason when the International version looks and feels great

[Ericanthonyedaddy]

@samjpullen yeah..I like the one you have because it actually has a button lol..but the look is the only difference in my phone and yours right.?

[Neuf8]

@Ericanthonyedaddy Whats the difference between International version and "normal" version?

[Ericanthonyedaddy]

@Neuf8 honestly I guess its jus the look..but I recently found out that its not the "international" version that makes a difference..Its the different carriers..he has the version that AT&T carries while I have the T-Mobile one..

[Neuf8]

@Ericanthonyedaddy Thank for letting me know ;D

[Ericanthonyedaddy]

@Neuf8 no prob.!!

[Ericanthonyedaddy]

@Free4it more oval like shape..with rounder corners..I have the tmobile version

[SmileBox2412]

@galaxytgg you have to type about:useragent => so in your example the : is missing

[meenakshi1982]

hi,

I've just got galaxy s2 and learning about it via your tutorials they looks great short and useful but got stuck with the above tutorial as tried both ways suggested by you but doesnot work it starts searching on google all the time so please suggest how should i do it and also advise the usage of changing the useragent too

[Aspartame21]

tnx

[sxsoasa]

Hi Sam i have a problem whit my samsung galaxy s2 ...i can`t change the ring ( the song) of my sms messages ..i hard that everyone has that problem please help tnx xoxox

[guitarist2oo8]

What is the point in changing this? I changed it to iPhone and I saw no different from what it was before :S Please answer!

[SutorcenGR]

For all of you that can;t make this work type this

about:useragent

in the address bar.

My problem is, how do you make those changes permamnent? It defaults back to custom once you close your browser.

[jenzjobb]

whats the purpose for changing your user agent?

[myahshayla]

Does not work. Just searches on google. Need help

[SutorcenGR]

@myahshayla

type about:useragent as you see it here.

[mickys514]

It doesnt change the user agent. Granted, it looks like it does when you select for eg, desktop, but go back into about:useragent. It'll be set back to the bottom custom selection which is a shame, cos I want desktop :(

[Xelonka]

This "Hey everyone, Sam back once again" is like Toby Turner's "Audience? What are you doing..." :D SAM RULES!!

[samjpullen]

@Xelonka lol... Love it :p

[YerNaa]

[gp410]

hello sam! does it have notification led?

[joe4321qwerty]

Hey Sam, great tips, thanks.

Just got Galaxy after having iphone.

Can you help with how to get my contacts from itunes iphone backup? (Haven't got the iphone any more and they're not on the SIM. Plus, my Windows contacts only has gmail sync ones, email addresses only.)

Thanks!

[samjpullen]

@joe4321qwerty Can you export your contacts from iTunes into a contact file ? if you can do that and upload to your gmail account via contacts and the phone will auto sync everything you need :)

[Hondengans]

@joe4321qwerty I had the same "problem", iTunes syncs your contacts to your "address book" application on your mac. Go to that program, export contacts to a file. Then on google contacts you can import them (through google.com) en sync your android phone with them.

[rayt88]

sam im having trouble getting 3g signal with tmobile/orange and talk monile. is there any settings you know of that'll let me get 3g?

[conorucd]

can you do a pdf viewer and possible annotating pdf video?

[Nnnarekkk]

@samjpullen So if you reboot does it keep the settings?

Because I did it on my Galaxy Tab and after a reboot it doesn't save.

[samjpullen]

@Nnnarekkk All settings are kept, even removing the battery will ensure that all settings remain intact including clock :)

[Nnnarekkk]

@samjpullen I mean when you change the user agent and then reboot, I believe that it doesn't save the user agent and reverts back to default. Can you try it on your phone please?

[lekky]

@samjpullen it isn't permanent!

[always4vikram]

@samjpullen

but when i close the browser the settings are again to custom.. plz help

[ankhenaten2]

[142jess]

[mimstyle]

the tip in french please ?

[shaurz]

Great tip, I really dislike the cut-down mobile sites (especially YouTube)

[CyberNeticRodent]

this does not work on opera btw.

[samjpullen]

@CyberNeticRodent Thats because Opera is a 3rd party app :)

[NikoliZZer]

@CyberNeticRodent in Opera Mobile you can do this by typing "opera:config" on the address bar, and then scroll down to "User Prefs", then scroll down again to "Custon User-Agent", type in the text area "Opera/9.80 (Linux; en) Presto/2.7.81 Version/11.00" and hit Save in the bottom of the screen and you're done.

[NikoliZZer]

@CyberNeticRodent "Custom User-Agent" of course.. sorry for the inconvenience.

[schwalbstar]

Hey mate seriously these videos are soo helpful, cos so many phone shops dont have the galaxy s2 to have a go on, cos they are sold out :L I was just wondering whether the touch sensitive buttons are really sensitive? I have a Samsung Omnia 7 and every time someone hands my phone back to me I always accidentally press the touch buttons and mess things up :L they are sooo sensitive - I don't even have to press the exact button I just have to tap near it and something happens :L so I have to be a
