Droid ID

[lmj301]

Hello,
I'm new to the Droid.

On my old phone (windows based) i could decide weather the internet saw my phone was seen as a mobile unit or a computer. Can this be changed from mobile to computer on the Droid? I hate the mobile web sites.

Thx

It depends what browser you are using. Many browsers (both xScope and Skyfire I use do) have a preference/setting where you can change User Agent from Android to Computer, Desktop, or something similar.

about:debug in the address line
hit the menu button

settings
at the bottom is UAString

I didn't know you could do that with the default browser. Learn something new every day.

With android you do, with apple products you only learn something new every time the prophet steve jobs talks. "FLASH IS BAD".
I just went on an apple forum to troll since I'd rather not piss off our community here, and someone complained about no flash, about 20 responses said "Flash is dead" "Flash eats battery" "Flash causes problems"
All they can do is quote jobs.
