    Hey, this has been bugging me for months, and now i finally got the answer of how to do it and all is now working correctly, full pages now loading. just thought id post it up if anyone else had this issue.Got it from here:

    [URL] http://blogs.computerworld.com/17882/android_honeycomb_browser_user_agent [/URL]

    So, ready to get everything working the way it should? Follow these instructions, and you'll be browsing like a king in no time.
    1. Open the Android Honeycomb browser on your tablet.
    2. In the address bar, type: *about:debug* and press enter.
    3. Now open the browser's settings by tapping the icon in the very top-right corner of your screen (it looks like four horizontal lines) and selecting "Settings" from the drop-down menu that appears.
    4. On the left side of the screen, tap the section labeled "Debug."
    5. On the right side of the screen, tap the item labeled "UAString," then select "Desktop."
    6. Press the back button (in the very bottom-left corner of your screen) to exit the browser's settings.
    7. In the browser's address bar, type: *about:debug* once more; this will disable debugging mode and return the browser to its normal state.

    just to mention i did this on my android gingerbread tablet.
