It's not about a particular website , I just love how N900 shows pages as a PC so I wanted this on my N9 too . If I am not wrong , N900 it's the only phone that shows web pages as a pc ?

Well I'm sorry but N9 using fennec allows desktop user agents browsing using extension Phony
And previosly my desire hd using android also supported desktop user agent

it doesn't work on pr1.2, user permission to replace original grob are denied.

i did a force overwrite using fileboxroot and have messed it up. web browser just doesn't open anymore. could someone advice on how to replace it otherwise i'll have to re-flash.

thanks.

I also have problem with changing grob file.. I always get Permission denied... I can't remove, rename or cp -f to this file...
Any solution for changing this orig grob file in PR1.2 ?
Thanks

search for changing user agent on n9 pr1.2. I've posted the instructions there.

thanks, I know about inception, but I don't want to use this, because I want to add this to my script (n9 qtweak) and will tell to all users that need to install inception and opensh..
Any another way ?

Only "inception", change the User Agent on pr1.2
Using the user agent of the N900 browser displays all perfectly in desktop mode.
But I think with the release of Fennec and Flash, this manipulation is useless ..

Vive Fennec

As alternative I'm using Phony plugin for firefox - very easy to install and do the job. Don't know if someone was mention it already cause thread is 10 page long now.

Hi all, I just updated my firefox to 12.0 and as it seems phony doesn't work anymore like its supposed to, just going to gmail with the user agent set to iPhone or Nexus got firefox to crash straight away. And one time my phone just switched off.... I was wondering what happened. So I've disabled and uninstalled phony for now.

i am posting it here for the record, but will also post a new thread about the same with the subject: Firefox 12 UA bug

No need to do this for Facebook anymore, as it appears facebook now gives the N9 the nice Android/Symbian/iOS mobile page :D

Re: Changing the User Agent on the N9/N950. Simple(ish) downloads to change to Andoird 2.3.7 or iOS 5
 
:S I wonder why its happening on my device now then...

Thank you for confirming though...

would still want to know if there's anyone else facing this issue...

I was very happy to see that happen...

Now if only gmail and google were to load their android/iphone variants on the N9 :(

Solution:
Deleting cookies etc just helped. Now it works fine. I had selected allow when it asked me whether i want to share my location with Google. This might be the thing that threw it off

Agreed, the current Google/Gmail basic view is so incredibly crap, its almost unusable to edit your search. I find myself having to go to the top address bar and doing a search from scratch..

blame google for that, they consider Nokia share not big enough to add support.

Having seen the new google set up for android and ios, I want a user agent change for my N9 stock browser somehow, maybe a toggle switch or something. Something that sticks after a reboot, with inception, this is possible.

Log in to your google account with the N9 stock browser and then click here https://mail.google.com/mail/x/gdlak...e&zyp=l&shva=1

unfortunately it only works for gmail

What sites are you guys using this on such that you need a different UA?

Any luck with someone writing a startup script? I am currently using inception and opensh and it works well. Just tried of replacing everytime it reboots

Bit confused..
Logged in as devel-su and also tried logging in as superuser/root.
Devel-su did not provide the privileges needed and superuser/root was blocked for some reason.. am I doing this wrong, or has nokia blocked it? Or is it because I am on a carrier specific software variant?
