Problem loging over HTTP on Android (any browser) - General Questions and Answers

Hello.
I am unable to log to a specific site using either 2.1 default browser, dolphin or opera mini on Android 2.1 (moto milestone).
The page is actually a Punkbuster Webtool that i use for administering a bunch of servers. Passwords are sent through in plain-text.
Obviously settings are correct since i can login normally on my PC.
To troubleshoot this i've set up a testserver with a plain numbers only password. Alas, i can't connect.
The server log says "Bad Web Key sent from myiport" so i'm assuming that although i'm typing in the correct password Android has some trouble sending it over to the server.
So, is this a known Android issue? Is there any work around?

Bumping for great justice

hello? is anyone there?

seriously, i hate shamelessly bumping like this but i'd like to have at least an acknowledgment of my existance.

LOGGING INTO SITES

I am unable to log into certain web forums from my XDA - I get the message, "request could not be understood status 400"
Does anyone know how I can solve this?
Thanks.
I don't think pocket IE supports some login methods.
That's a shame - how can I log into my sites then?
look for another browser then IE
LOGGING IN
I have managed to log in to one site today but none of the others - how comes I need a new browser?
maybe because IE sucks ?

Skyfire Beta 2, ver. 4721

Has anybody installed it or tried it yet? I just got a copy today, but I wanted to see if anyone else installed it first and if they are having any problems with it, etc. I installed a Beta of Opera a little while back and it really screwed up my phone, and caused me alot of problems, so I wanted to see if there was a list of problems with the Skyfire Beta 2 before I installed it. Thanks for the help.
Well I just installed it but there is an issue with the login procedure with the new beta users so I can't actually log on to test it.
Opening the program hasn't caused anything wrong with the phone but I will update you on what happens when I can actually browse the web with it whenever they get the login error fixed

I can't get beyond the login says:
connection to the internet
could not be found. You may
be in flight mode.
Please verify your network
connection settings are
correct and try again
(000_2003)
exit (button)
I've downloaded it and logged in successfully, the only difference I can see so far, is a new smart fit tool, for making text easier to read. I'll have to play around with it more, and see if there is anything else.
It won't even let me install it! It keeps saying installation was unsuccessful
edit: nevermind, I downloaded it from my laptop & the cab worked. Must have been corrupted downloading from PIE or something
I installed it and had the same problem and saw that they were working on it on there website forum. I emailed them and they emailed me back today saying they fixed it and what you had to do to get it working. I haven't had time to try it yet. Here is a copy of there email to me:

Worked great for me. The feature I love (not sure if it existed in the past) is the ability to drag the zoom window to the size you want. You can make your flash videos fit your screen. Great feature.
It worked for me via WIFI, as soon as I try it via GPRS, I receive the 000_2003 error
Any suggestion?

How To Get Skyfire Username And Password
I have succesfully hacked skyfire well not exactly hacked. It is quite simple actiolly. All you need is an us mobile phone number and an e-mail you don't need the sms the number is the pass. I will post a program that gives you those directly.
O and I am writing from skyfire. It is realy nice. How i figured that out siple this was only for americans. This means that it is something stupid. Then it hit me that the number must be the password. It took me 5 mins to get a random us mobile phone number to use and you have it.

Change HTC Exchange Integration Device Type

Anyone know where the Device Type is kept for HTC's Exchange stuff?
Currently it sends my device over to the Active Exchange network as "HTCHero" I'd prefer if it did not do this. I'd like it to present itself as a more secure device like... 'iPhone'
Right now I'm using TouchDown Pro and it will do this for me... and for the most part I like touchdown except that it's horribly ugly. I'd like the ability to use the phone's exchange integration again if I felt like going back.
Not sure if your Hero is rooted yet, but if it is, someone could probably baksmali/smali the .apk and change the activesync device string it returns.
I can't get mine to even link up with my gmail account.
You know what you are suppose to put when it asks you for the domain and server info?
With out starting a new thread here, and on the topic of exchage. Does anyone know how to remove an email from the device and not the server?? My blackberry gave me the option. Maybe a "Download a Copy" setting?
I have this posted in 3 other forums and no one is responding.

[Q] certificate error prohibiting access to yahoo mail and server

Can't access yahoo email: getting certificate error and server can't connect. This is a problem with both original and TnT ROM. Has anyone else had this problem?
I cannot get to Yahoo email because the logon page includes an ad that glitches on my G Tablet. All I get is the ad - no logon page.
I have seen certificate errors on the bank of america site and a few others though. Not sure the cause.
Are you all using a browser? If so, which one/
I can login fine using default browser and Xscope.
Jim
p.s. Stock TNT.
Yeah, using the stock browser here. No idea if Yahoo gives me certificate issue because like I said, big ad is all I get when I go to Y! logon screen.

I went to mail.yahoo.com...
yahoo mail
I use fennec with the user agent set to android. That will get you to "mobile" yahoo mail and skip the ad glitch.
My yahoo mail works. I have TnT 3.00 and got yahoo mail app from market (after doing market fix). Gtablet rocks now.
Still getting the huge ad. But I can slide the ad if I flip the g tablet to a vertical position. But I still can't download files. Also the Yahoo Mail app doesn't let me add an account.
For those having a certificate error, I would suggest double checking the date/time. It's one of the more common causes for the error, and my first guess since it doesn't appear to be a wide spread issue.

Xenx,
I don't have the problem, but that was a good suggestion!

[Q] Did VZW cripple stock MAIL app?

To sync with my company's ActiveSync server, I HAVE to check both "Use Secure Connection" and "Accept All SSL Certificates."
However, the latter choice is not appearing in my MAIL setup screen, ONLY the Use Secure Connection checkbox. As such I'm not given access to my work's mail server. I've seen it on almost every Android device... why would it be missing on TBolt?
Sorry... can an admin. please move this to the APPS topic?
Thanks!
I had that same issue and thought it was just me. I'm using Touchdown for now but would love to use the stock exchange one

:\ Once you have root,you could try replacing the mail app from a Sense rom that does have both of these options in the mail app.

Good idea... motivation for me rooting this bad boy.
I think I have only ever seen the "Use Secure Connection" and "Accept All SSL Certificates" options on the stock Android email app. The sense one only has the single checkbox.

No VZW had nothing to do with the mail app...
I am a bit confused by this. My exchange server shouldn't work with Android AT ALL... however due to HTC's ... how shall we say... engineering it works perfectly.
Wonder why you have to select all certificates...
How do we get HTML emails to show up on the stock app? All it gives me are text links.

Mine show up as HTML... not sure what is wrong on yours. Both GMail and Exchange are showing up fine.
I guess I just haven't found what I need to change in the setting yet then. I can be slow and special at times.
Ok, after more investigation, I have have realized that my exchange email is on plain text only, but... the option to change it is grayed out and unclickable. What am I doing wrong? I can't change the option from plain text, and I really don't like it.
It is crippled or at least modified
I'm pretty sure MAIL is crippled or at least modified. If you use MAIL to setup IMAP accounts, it will not let you specify an IMAP path prefix, which is a royal pain for me, since I can't view my sent emails without that IMAP path. That was one of the main reasons I jumped from WinMo to Android! Looks like I'll be rooting sooner than I thought (I've loved the Tbolt as-is until now)
On yours, does it have the option where it is suppose to allow you to check between html and plain text, grayed out? My personal email is fine, it's just the exchange email that is giving me fits. I can change the normal account. Oh, and html worked fine on my D2 with exchange.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
Set up fine here, both before and after root with the stock mail app that came with the phone. I do have the choice of HTML or Plain Text and neither is grayed out. I have only one choice for security and it says "This server requires an encrypted SSL connection" which is checked. My admin also pushes a security policy requiring a PIN or password after a 15 minute time out.
To get rid of the exchange security, and get both SSL check boxes, I installed this app.:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=775007
It doesn't work with the HTC message widget, but at least it gets you corporate email.
Have you tried telling it proceed? I had the same qualm, and I hit next and it prompted me to accept the certificate even though it was invalid.
Yeah, I have set up the account, and it works fine other than the fact that I can't get HTML emails in anything other than plain text. I go emailapp>menu>more>settings>send/receive>recieve settings and under receive settings the message format is grayed out and unselectable. I know it's not the server, because I had it setup fine on the D2. I have also tried deleting the account and starting over from the beginning, and it still does this. So I don't know what to do to fix it.
Any update on the HTML email issue? I'm rooted, so I can swap the native app with any other other Sense friendly app. It works well in Touchdown, but I prefer to use the native mail app -- it's much cleaner and well integrated. I just REALLY need to see HTML and graphics in my emails.
It used to be fine with my Droid X, so I know that it's not a server policy. It's just broken in the TBolt's native mail app.
thoughts?
I haven't really had the time to investigate further. I've just let it be for now. Semester will be over in two weeks, then I can look more into it.
