opera browser wont keep me logged into XDA

anyone else finding that Opera browser keeps logging you out of XDA ? every time i click ... even to submit this thread ... it asks me to log in again !
is this a setting ive screwed up somewhere ???

Not sure if this will help you, but I've been using Opera for months now & have never had any trouble with XDA (or any other site) logging out.
I do find that sometimes buttons next to forms are missing though.
{{edit}}
I take it you have cookies enabled?

everything used to be fine but its been like this for a while. i have to log in to post a msg and then log back in again after i submit ... grrrr

Many people have reported this, including myself. It is a bug. Unfortunately, the devs of opera aren't willing to admit it's a bug. Their response has been that they couldn't replicate it.

Thanks. Looks like I will have to live with it. Shame as opera handles most stuff so well on the tf

I never had this issue until I rooted on Wednesday the 5th. The only other thing that changed was that flash player was updated to V11. With V11 videos would not longer play. I am not convinced that it has anything to do with Opera but I could be wrong.
XDA acts like it logged me in because it does the redirect. Then my info doesn't show on the page & when I try to post it asks me to log in again. Has anyone found a solution to this?

Go into your application manager and wipe data. Should work from now on.

Thanks. The only problem with doing that is all of your bookmarks are deleted too.

Is there a way to backup my opera bookmarks without syncing? I need to clear all of the opera data from the program manager which will delete all of my bookmarks.

Opera Link will do the job.

how come I can't post on some forums?

how come on my phone I can't post on some forums like XDA and others? I have javascript enabled. The pages look normal, but there are no new thread buttons.

umm just to make sure, you are logged into those forums that you want to post on right?

That was like the Evo while back. Try checkin the main menu or the settings for the browser.. They always have a option for it..

I tried this and set it to desktop
Type about:debug in the browser url box
go to 'Settings'
go to 'Debug'
Select UAString, and then check the 'Desktop' option
---
but I still can't post on forums I went to XDA site and signed in. I clicked general discussion and now I can't even click anything. Can't click general, questions and answers, etc. I refresh page 3 times, can't click any of them.
I tried my other site and I am logged in on that site, but I can't log out. I can't make new threads.

Are you rooted?

wich launcher are u using?

I am rooted but on the stock ROM using the default browser.

still need help

Umm.. can you post or create a thread on your PC? And did you tried using some other browser then your Default one?
And try resetting your browser to Default and Clear History, Cache, Cookies, and just give it a try.
If doesn't help, post back!

lol all my other posts are from PC.
I reset cache, cookies, and history on my phone's stock browser.
I was able to log onto XDA and sign and get to this section. There was a button for forum tools and in there was post new thread.
The other forum I am trying to post on does not have a forum tools button. I can login, but can't log out. I cannot reply and cannot post.
is it to do with my browser? I think other android users can do it.
do I need a special app for all forums to work properly?
What exactly is the xda app?

Ok, first off within your phones browser hit your menu button, find settings, and search through them with a fine tooth comb looking for anything that says mobile browsing with a check box or similar setting which would allow you to change between standard and mobile.
You can search the market for "xda" and either install the premium app for 1.49 and support our site, or use the free app. Then once installed just login and youre all set to browse and post via the app.

[GUIDE] How to bypass T-Mobile's tether block using Firefox

Hello everyone, so I recently finally got blocked from tethering by T-Mobile after a long time of sucking it out of them by being rooted and on a custom ROM like all of us here.
The way they know you are tethering on their network is by the User Agent that is sent to them by your desktop/laptop computer browser. When they see that a regular browser is accessing their network, that's when you get the infamous T-Mobile Hotspot Screen we all hate.
I've recently discovered a Firefox Add-On called User Agent Switcher found here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/user-agent-switcher/?src=search
Download it and install it to Firefox. Then download this (right click, "Save as") http://techpatterns.com/downloads/firefox/useragentswitcher.xml
Go to Tools>User Agent>Edit User Agents (a window pops up) click on "Import.." and add the .xml file you just downloaded.
Then pick a User Agent that resembles the Sensation webkit and BAM! Free tethering for all of us.
I'm using it right now
NOTE: If you use a Googlebot User Agent, you will be able to tether and always load up full webpages instead of mobile versions. - Thanks to The Archangel and chadwick3nser for discovering this!

You can also do the same with chrome.
Been doing it for since the day they released it.

I actually take it one step further an either completely hide my IP on the computer or switch it so they can't try to block it.

Nice!
Is that how att detects also?

just about every major cell company does the exact same thing to detect it. Maybe different variants but still the same.

I am doing this right now as well, but all the desktop pages are in mobile. I have found the desktop button on the bottom of the youtube site but cant find it on most sites. any workaround for this?

do i create a custom UA and edit the string to a spider or how would be the best way? or what would be the best one to use?about going about this? sorry, have no experience with user agents

nevermind, i used googlebot 2.1 new version and its working great, thanks for this!!!

Glad you got it working.
Hey op. Heres a suggestion, put in the your first post. Use a Google bot user agent. Using that will load all the web mail pages normally.

What are you using to block the IP address? I was thinking just changing the IP to not be the standard DHCP that the phone would give you still shows it coming from another MAC address on the same connection and would be obvious to the write sniffing rules?
I realize this isn't a requirement I've been using the UA for a while from canary but I easily see them stopping this workaround w/ better sniffing rules.

This is a very bad advice as pretending to be a googlebot may get you either blocked or banned from many websites (especially if they use ZBBlock) as this behavior is rated as a spammer/bot activity.

I've been doing it for a while, never got a ban on my end

Okay I've been tethering fine for a while on FF, but T-Mobile finally blocked me yesterday... I figured out that it was the second I started to watch a YouTube video. Guessing they're able to see activity on my cell account at the same time as my login is accessing YouTube and put 2&2 together...? (That may be obvious to some...)
Anyway... I may try the user agent spoofing but this is really aggravating since I'm traveling right now and the internets in my hotel are $10/day.

Anyone figure out how to use netflix while spoofing in Firefox? I've been settling for Amazon Prime instant video, but I'd love to have Netflix back. With the UA spoof, Netflix won't play movies. At least I haven't figured out how.

This method no longer works for me

keep getting "oops google chrome cannot connect to" error

any ideas why i get this error in chrome?? im running sky jb. it happens when i clikc on a link in email and it takes it to chrome. my other skyrocket runs just fine. i forwarded the same email to the other phone and it has not problems. thanks in advance

Yes everything is correct. It doesn't happen all the time. Only certain emails or google reader links don't work, appreciate all help

Maybe not related, but chrome is pure garbage compared to AOSP browser (like the one in nexus and galaxy nexus)..Pull the.apk from one of those device and copy it to system/apps

Really weird Wi-Fi question...

Okay, so at school on the Wi-Fi, I cannot log into Pandora, or Facebook. However, my friend on his droid can log in, as well as my other friend with her 4S. Now you need to access a portal to login to the Wi-Fi, but I logged onto my Wi-Fi on his Android and it is still unblocked even though on my Nexus 5 Pandora and Facebook is blocked. He logged into his Wi-Fi on my Nexus 5 and it's still blocked.
Why would only certain apps not work on my Nexus 5 on the WiFi but on their phones it still works? I'm really confused? Even if I login to the WiFi on my account on their phone it's still blocked...

You just solved your issue. Obviously your account has a restriction on it for accessing social sites, and their accounts don't. If you're blocked when using their phone, that's the only answer.
No one can help you here.... You need to ask your account administrator.
Good luck!

Oh... And your account must also restrict your particular device.

No, that isn't the case. Because if I login to my account on THEIR phone, it works. Only on my Nexus 5 does those apps not work. So, no, it isn't my account. Also they work on my Inspire 4G but again, not my Nexus 5.

Well, I can't help. If WiFi works for some things, and not others.... Then it must be an issue with those apps, or your setup or something.
Have you tried clearing data on those apps in phones settings/apps.

Perhaps you should edit post 1 to make sense then because you said the opposite as per the quote.

It doesn't make sense. I brought my old phone to school and FB works and everything. Nexus 5? Nope. My Nexus 5 won't load it, like it's blocked but its not. Guess I'll bring my old phone if I want to use Wi-Fi at school for FB? I mean Wi-Fi works. I can search and go on Instagram. But FB? No.
Any ideas?? I also had to flash stock this weekend due to a boot loop. So that isn't it.

I'd speak to the school initially. Perhaps they have a rule that somehow affects your device but not others... Maybe they intent to block it all but it is only working for you.

Perhaps you're right, FB is blocked on desktop computers. And mobile browsers but apps on iOS and I guess other Androids besides my N5 it's unblocked. Maybe it's something with stock Android.

Or the traffic protocols are different for apps than web and thusly the admins forgot to block them.
Spoiler
Now I do not condone this action, however on desktop and web browsers there is a work around (sometimes) just add https:// before the social network site. Ex.https://www.Facebook.com
Or if it is blocked like that try http:// instead.
Again, if you get caught and punished because this works, I am not at fault.

No lol it's the actual apps themeselves. FB just says there id no connection, Pandora loads infinitely but on my Inspire, another droid and an iPhone it works just fine. It isn't my account because I signed into the WiFi on their phones and their apps still loaded.
