I don't have Xoom, so I cannot test that :(

But, I tested using my Nexus S, and here is the result:

Dolphin in Android mode:

Browser name: Default Browser

Platform: unknown

Operating System: Linux, Smart Move!!!

User Agent: Safari

Dolphin in desktop mode:

Browser branch name: Safari 3.1

Browser name: Safari

Browser version: 3.1

Platform: MacOSX

Operating System: Mac OS X

User Agent: Safari

Stock browser in desktop mode:

Browser branch name: Safari 5.0

Browser name: Safari

They are all using "Safari", no word "Android" mentioned.

One good thing about being automatically sent to the mobile version of a site?

Gizmodo.com

The mobile site is vanilla and plain but DAMN it's better to look at than that new mess of a website they've put up the last couple of months.

/rant
[Xoom General] green94:
I think the issue here is why can't the Stock browser settings stick when you change the user agent. Dolphin seems to work perfectly fine after rebooting or after a browser crash. If the Stock browser did the same thing, after changing it to desktop, I don't think anyone would have an issue.
[Xoom General] Facegarden:
FYI Google addressed why this happens in their Android Blog:

http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2010/12/android-browser-user-agent-issues.html

Basically, the browser reports itself as Android, but not Android Mobile (as someone else suggested).

Websites currently sense if you are using Android and assume its a phone (because it always used to be), but now they should key of the word "Mobile" instead.

This does have drawbacks, but from an engineering perspective, it is the "correct" way to do it. Hacking the user agent is bad practice - its important for web admins to know if a lot of tablets are accessing their website, for example, so they can make sure the site works well for them. If Google set it to spoof a windows desktop, web admins would never know how many tablets were being used, and may be serving their users with a less than optimal page for tablets without realizing it.

So it will take some time for web admins to fix their sites, but unfortunately, this is the right way to do it. It would be great though if the about:debug settings were sticky. It might be bad practice for Google to design the tablet to spoof the user agent, but its fine if an individual user decides to.

[Xoom General] B Dizzle:
It seems like the best option is to complain to webmasters who do not allow the option of leaving mobile mode on their sites.

If the option to view either mobile or full site is given then there is no need to spoof the user agent and the device would be properly tracked by whatever software the host is using. We need to complain more to the web admins if we will ever see the compatability that the ipad users currently have when browsing the web. At the same time the web admins need to know that enough of our devices are out there before they will see a need to create an alternative browsing experience. This is why I am against changing the user agent.

Edit: Perhaps Google had the same thought in mind and this is the reason the user agent setting does not hold after a reboot.
[Xoom General] ChongoDroid:
I actually uninstalled the stock browser and replaced it with dolphin HD and its amazing.
[Xoom General] nbowes:
I smirked when you used "stock" and "Dolphin" in the same sentence because I'm starting to become convinced that you're getting a kickback for every time you mention them in this forum. I've been excited about certain apps, too--have posted a few times about Thumb Keyboard, for example--but never three times in a single thread. Seems a bit much ;)

Sorry it took me a bit to reply to this, but here are the settings for the stock browser:

Set at desktop...

HTTP USER AGENT HEADER: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10_6_3; en-us) AppleWebKit/533.16 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/5.0 Safari/533.16

Browser Name: Safari

Platform: MacOSX

Operating System: MacOS X

User Agent: Safari

Set at Android...

HTTP USER AGENT HEADER: Moxilla/5.0 (Linux; U; Android 3.0.1; en-us; Xoom Build/HRI66) AppleWebKit/534.13 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0 Safari/534.13

Browser Name: Default Browser

Platform: Unknown

Operating System: Linux, Smart Move!!!

User Agent: Safari

Catchy browser name, huh? I'm not sure why "platform" has come up as "unknown." I wonder if that is an error in the browser's settings or if the website simply doesn't recognize it. I think it's the header that is the important part, and I assume it's what we're supposed to be talking about with web programmers when we ask them to fix their code to give a more Xoom-friendly experience?

Hey Taylor, thanks for your reply. Everything you say here makes sense. I agree that it is important for web admins to know if a lot of tablets are accessing their sites, but I think to the average user, it's more important that he or she has a good browsing experience. I think many will change the user agent and most will install and use an alternative browser. That means that far more tablets will be accessing sites than what will be reflected in their traffic reports. All in all, that puts Android at a disadvantage.

I really think it would be somewhat helpful to have a pre-written paragraph that users can forward to web programmers asking for them to make a change. What should that say? "Please update your website code to recognize this user agent header: ___ which indicates your site is being browsed by a tablet that is fully capable of viewing the desktop version of your website, including support for Flash, JavaScript, frames, iFrames, and higher resolution graphics and video streams." I'm sure we could make this better.

I'm just not sure how quick this is going to be without web programmers feeling very motivated. I wouldn't doubt that Google could help with that, though..."oh, your site doesn't render well on Android?...oh, you say your site isn't ranking very well in search results?...oh, that's strange."
[Xoom General] Facegarden:
The best thing to do is send them a quick note that says something like:

"Hey. I love your site (or whatever you want to say), but am having some problems accessing it with my Android Xoom Tablet. Your site always serves me the mobile page, even though my the Desktop version works much better on my device. My guess is that you are reading the User Agent, reading the word "Android", and using that as a key to serve up the mobile page. That made sense when Android was only on phones, but now that it is on Tablets as well, Google has provided a way to determine if you should serve a mobile page or the full version. The details are in this Google Android Developers blog post: http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2010/12/android-browser-user-agent-issues.html

But the basic deal is that all Android devices still say "Android", but phones report "Mobile Safari", and full size devices like tablets just say "Safari". I am a member of an Android Tablet owners forum, and many users are having problems with websites assuming the device is a phone. It frustrates users and in some cases sends them away. Power users can change the User Agent to spoof a desktop, but that is not an ideal solution. If you could update your site to only serve the mobile page to devices that report "Mobile Safari", you would make the growing community of Android Tablet users very happy.

Thanks so much for your time."

That should be good. Feel free to edit as needed, I wrote that quickly. But it should be like a 2 minute fix for them, so I think most webmasters will go ahead and do it if they are cool.

Also, you may need to click that link and re-copy the address, as the forum cuts them off.

how much i can overclock my Lg p500 .using void-echo rom

i have overclocked till 720mhz

what if i overclock more

does overclocking can dead my phone.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] kewlsid05:
Hi. Overclockign does damage ur cpu but the threshold at which damage occurs depends solely on ur cpu. And i mean ur particular iece of hardware and not the series. I run my cpu at 806 Mhz sometimes but mostly i keep it to 748 Mhz. So while some phones can do 800+ others cant do even 750. Some cant OC at all.

I suggest that 729 is a pretty decent enuf Overclock and you limit urself to it. If you do want to go higher, increase speeds in steps and then run a stress test for 2-3 min and then use it for a day. If its is stable then no problem. But dont set it on boot as sometimes it may cause kernel panic.

[Nook Color General] kairun:
I took my NC on a Delta flight today and the WiFi provider was go-go (http://www.gogoinflight.com/). As usual, after connecting to the network, the browser loaded up the login site where it wanted me to subscribe to its internet service.

At first, everything seemed like how I expected it, but after a few minutes, I received an email notification and noticed that the gmail program was receiving mail. I tested it out, loaded up some attachments from old old emails, sent out a couple emails, one to myself, and everything seemed to work. I tried google talk afterwards, but that seemed to be forever stuck on "signing in..."

I don't really know all the technical details behind networking and internet connectivity, but can the browser and google talk be redirected to use whatever port the gmail app is using? My flight back on monday is on United and I'll play around with it some more.
[Nook Color General] RoboRay:

If you want not to look at it and not ruin your phone buy a roll of pin-striping tape from a auto paint supply, it is cheap and you can most colors. It come in 1/16" - 1/2" common. ou can use that tape to block out the logo, and it will noy come off easily.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NoDataFound:
You could always buy a new screen protector and black out the top portion (by applying it to the backside of the screen protector) with something like black nailpolish or hobby paint or something.

This would give it a finished look and be removable in case you miss it.

[General Questions and Answers] KingsSon:
Good Day Everyone,

I have been searching the forums for a few days and installed a number of apk's all of which don't seem to work.

There seems to be so many posts on Chinese tablets and getting Android Market to work. And a number of work arounds that I have tried have so far been unsuccessful. Many of us have bought the WM8650 models (VIA8650,High-performance 800MHZ CPU+300MHZ).

So my question is can't we collaborate as a group who own these tablets to donate an amount (say $10 or $20 each) to the developer that ports an Android version which runs all the Google apps and Market?

That way we won't have to look for workarounds, and those who purchase after us will have a much easier upgrade path.
[General Questions and Answers] guytimes:
wm8650

I have the wm8650 and can't access to the android market, even though there is an icon for it. I get an error that says, "Authentication error. Please check your account/password". Have you figured out the problem yet?
[General Questions and Answers] KingsSon:
Not yet

Hi guytimes.

The Android Market apk that I loaded won't open, however it seems the pre-loaded Market app on the device only shows applications from China(did not return any results when I searched for Angry Birds). The icons look similar but I'm not sure if the pre-loaded app goes to the Official Android Market place.(If someone knows, please could you correct me?).

In the interim, to at least to get some apps loaded, I managed to get the application from Slideme ( an Android application website) which works well. It does not have all the apps on the official Market but it will let you download and install. I am still trying to find a way to get the Google apps and Market place working or to Port a different ROM to this type of device.
[General Questions and Answers] guytimes:
Wow, that stinks. I had no idea the marketplace was blocked on these devices. Please let me know if you find a real work around and I'll do the same.

[General Questions and Answers] brandonlee2:
I have this tablet and I can tell you, it run 90% of the apk aplications :)

No need to have an android market. You can install the applanet market and get all free without registration and any complicated steps.

Now the only thing I'm searching is to know how to root the tablet.

I can access all the system files directly and edit any archive but need some special permisions.

Hopefully soon we can find soemthing for this awesome tablet.

Hi everyone, I will have a ROM posted for the Eken m009s with the via 8650 cpu within the next few days, so far I removed the chinese apk's, a different lockscreen (froyo default), and launcher pro as the default home screen, also, Slide Me marketplace works perfectly on this, and Applanet does as well, the market I tried also fails to open.

Last time i checked it wasnt possible to screen burn a phone, it would have to get really hot. Computer monitors do it but they are plugged into a socket, where as phones arnt that heavily used (compared with a monitor). LCD screens are supposed to be "immune" from them as they use a different method to get the display working

So no i doubt it will be screen burn
