Root [Sprint/Cricket] always requesting desktop sites? SOLUTION HERE.

Alright I've been having to request desktop sites for ever now and I found a solution...
In browser's URL type " about:debug" without the " ". Now it won't do anything. So hit your menu/settings button (bottom left on s3) and you should see a new option (debug). Hit it and then go back. Go to advanced and you'll see "user agent". Click that and choose desktop. Bam no more annoying mobile versions of any site.

One possible problem. Some carriers forbid tethering. The way they "determine" whether you're tethering or not is to monitor the browsing agent you're using. Of it's not a mobile browser, you're tetherting and violating the TOS. It doesn't matter whether you're tethering or not, it's their football, so it's their rules.

Foxfi has a hide USB tether option. I'm also looking into a solution. Will post if I find one. I did hear about one on the prevail forum... not sure if it's a way to hide tether or what... I'll look.
