Help? Particular website access issues from android phone

Hopefully I'm posting this in an ok section. I'm not sure what the issue is, and I'm trying to figure out if this is a software, hardware, provider, or website issue. I am beginning to suspect a software issue though.
I have a stock HTC M8, and as of about 2 weeks ago, I'm having issues logging in to one particular website: http://socialclub.rockstargames.com/ , but ONLY when connected through my wireless provider. The main page loads just fine, but as soon as I hit the sign in button to try to get to the signin page, it hangs for a while, then I get the message "internal error - server connection terminated" .
Here's the thing though: If I try to sign in to the page while connected to a Wifi network, it works just fine, and will continue to work properly even if I turn wifi off, until such time as the page automatically ends my session and I have to log in again. It's just that initial log in that won't work if connected to a wireless network. Also, I can't log out either unless on a wifi connection.
Here's what I tried already:
- Tried to log in using my wife's S4 (also stock rom). No good.
- Tried Chrome and Firefox browsers. Same problem.
- Contacted the website support. They say my wireless connection is too slow. Speedtest says 80Mbps down, 30Mbps up, 31ms ping. Ummm... I'm going to say this isn't the issue.
- Contacted my wireless provider (Telus). They say they haven't made any changes the last couple of weeks.
The only changes I've made recently is that I updated Android System Webview. I can't even get a handle on what the heck this app is for (Typical review: "It changed my life! My acne disappeared, and I won the lottery!")
Any ideas? I'm at a loss here....

In chrome you should check on the requeat desktop page and give it a try

Sadly, I've tried that as well. No go on any browser.
That's why I figured maybe it was something HTC screwed up with a recent update.

Can you access that login with any other method on your htc

Nope. WiFi only. Every other attempt to reach the login page fails. Browser doesn't matter, desktop view is no good, manual or auto login is also useless.
It simply won't load the login page.
I noticed on my desktop that it goes from whatever page you click the login button from, to a log in page, and then back to your original page once you enter your information. It's that transition to and from that login page that seems to be where the issue lies.

I must be in the website you do not need to worry as your droid is safe

Sorry, but you lost me there...

It could be thatbi lost but i dont know coz at somd times i have same problem anf it goea away by itself so i think its a site problem

I thought that originally as well, but they claim they haven't changed anything and blame my ISP, my ISP claims they haven't changed anything and blames the site...
This is why I'm wondering if it maybe has something to do with android web view or the native browser interfering with the whole system since it started about the same time as I downloaded the updates.
You wouldn't by chance know where I could find an apk for the HTC browser 2 versions ago would you? That way I could remove all updates then install that and at least verify or eliminate a possible cause.

Yes i can tell you where is the befault internet brousef app present on your device.
Download ans install es file manager.
Open it. At the top you will see sd card tap that. A mwnu will open. In that menu the first option is / device select that.
In that search for system folder. Inside that you will find many folders but inside folder app and priv_app there are syatem apk
Your brouser app will be inaide one of them.
Try searching goos lucl

[Material][4.0.3+][Captive Portal Helper] Wifi Auto Login

Have you ever been to a place where you have to go enter your credentials to log into via a wifi captive portal?
Those things are present everywhere now from Guest Wifi networks at hotels to corporate Wifi networks. I was annoyed at having to enter my credentials again and again every day so I made this app to automate that task. You just have to record your login steps only ONCE and WiFi Auto Login replays them when ever required without any manual interaction from you. This app works fine for Android versions from Ice Cream Sandwich to Marshmallow. Let me know if you guys find any issues in using my app.
Without further Ado, Here is the app .

When you come up against any captive portal, my app will automatically pop up and ask for your credentials to log into that portal, let me know if you find that non-intuitive I will look into adding a info screen on first install of the app.

Just to check that out, I have tried to logged out 3 times, but nothing happens. In fact I have set Automate authentication ON but no help.
To my knowledge, I had to submit credential in order to logged back IN.

When the Wifi Sign In is requested, it might open up a browser automatically, make sure you are entering your credentials inside my app and not in the browser. And make sure you tick on "Store Password" and also "Automate this for this site everytime" when you enter the credentials.
And finally, if you do not mind, can you tell me the credentials requested by your captive portal?
Weather username, email and password or does it require anything more custom?

Hey any updates?
Let me know if it worked and if it is automatically logging in for you now correctly.
I am looking for feedback if it worked, or I might have to tweak my algo a bit to search for more custom values in credentials..

Nope, not exactly how you're describing.
After several attempts only once it showed a pop up to login but that to for browser only there wasn't anything inside your app.
I am guessing may be my method could be wrong in order to do it correctly. Also I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling it., But every time it shows some test.portal site? Is it by default?
IMO some more tweaking may require and Authetication duration is quite long, It should be once and Boom! But it takes 2-3 attempts just to get login page, and that happened only twice which links to browser for login and not into your app.

If you do not mind, can you tell me the credentials requested by your captive portal?
Weather username, email and password or anything else?
And here is a short tutorial till I can incorporate a tutorial into my app :
1) You can just ignore the test.portal or you can press the checkbox next to it and press the delete button at the bottom to delete it. That will not affect anything else, I will remove it in the next iteration of the app.
2) Notice the very big button called "checking.." at the bottom of the app after you open it? Please wait for a few seconds and if it detects that you are connected to a Wifi network but not connected to internet, it will turn to "Authenticate". Once that button is enabled, you just click that button and it should take you to another screen in my app with blue background saying "I see you are having troubles logging into this WiFi Automatically. I can help you automate it." and ask for your username and password or email and password or whatever it is that your portal requires. (Note that this entire step is optional since when you turn off your wifi and turn it on and internet is not connected my app should automatically pop up and ask for your username and password but for some reason this doesn't seem to be happening in your case).
3) And make sure you tick on "Store Password" and also "Automate this for this site everytime" when you enter the credentials.
4) Make sure the big button next to "Background authentication is" has ON and that's it, my app will fire up everytime you are connected to Wifi but not connected to internet and it will automatically enter that credentials you entered to my app.

Sorry for delay in response actually.,
1,3,4 Steps I have done correctly
2 Step is where all problem lies, as you assumed I am not receiving any pop ups as you've mentioned here. After hitting Authenticate, it started to search something but after a while it comes back to Authenticate option again. After few attempts it lead me to link to browser where I suppose not to enter the credentials. Since you told me not to enter those into browser I've tried looking for an option inside your app. But no luck.

Weird, when you press the Authenticate button it shouldn't search anything at all, it should immediately move you to the credentials screen.
Can you please try one more thing to see if that works?
Manually turn off and after a few seconds turn on your wifi when you are logged out of the captive portal. That should trigger the WifiReader to re-read the info again.

I'm sorry to say, But that way also not working. In fact I've tried several different ways to get into it. So far only once it shows to enter credentials and that to with Browser link to open. There's nowhere i could be able to look for an option to enter credentials.
Something is missing for sure. :fingers-crossed:

Sorry to hear that, but anyways thank you very much for your feedback.
I really appreciate that.
I will try to add an option to send debug logs to me before production release to handle these kind of situations.

This app works fine. Thanks for making my life simpler. There are more than 15 access points for the guest wifi, when I go to a different floor or to a washroom, wifi gets disconnected. Thanks for making this app, it saved a lot of time and frustration. It is very easy on the battery and does its job in milliseconds.
Just put your name and contact in the app, I had to search entire XDA to find this post to say "Thanks!"

There are a couple of different Public WiFi that use Captive Portal and request a form fill to let users in.
However none of them seems to work.
Willing to test and provide useful info to help in developing...

@anantharam, are you still working on this? I just tried it out on my Pixel 2 running Android 9 and it shows that it's online when the networks are still asking for sign-in and the sign-in notification is still showing.
My city recently installed free wifi downtown, which is awesome, but I have to keep jumping through these pages to use it. Your app would be a godsend!

@MMcCubbing Thanks for your interest in this.
Unfortunately the app is currently taken down from the play store for some licencing reasons, I am trying to work with Google to try to bring back the app.
As for your particular question, if my app shows it is online, then it means my app is able to talk to the internet. At that point if you go to your browser and try to go to google.com do you get any error or are you getting connected correctly?
My app is mainly intended for usecases where you are not connected to the internet without giving a user name and password in a captive portal.

LG Stylo Cricket (H63410g) Google FRP lock bypass...stuck, requesting input

Hello,
Long time lurker, first time poster, so forgive me in advance for any rules I've overlooked. I'll start by saying I am the legitimate owner of the phone. I have searched all over for information regarding FRP bypass for this particular phone and version, but have come up with nothing. I believe I found a method that gets me halfway to the goal, but I'm stuck at a particular point. Let me quickly go through what I've done so far;
1) After factory reset, from the main setup screen, go into accessibility.
2) At the bottom, click Switch Access.
3) Enable Switch Access, and then click settings in the lower right.
4)At the bottom, click Assign Keys to Actions
5) At the bottom, assign a key press to overview. I use volume down.
6) Back out to the device setup home screen.
7) Click through until you reach the network selection screen.
8) You will need to connect to a network that requires sign-in through a browser. The xfinity hotspots work the best.
9) Once connected to xfinity, the phone will auto open Chrome.
10) Use a free trial for xfinity hotspot, or log in with your comcast credentials.
11) Search google for "google maps", and find the result for google maps.
12) when you click on the google maps link, it will open a menu asking you to choose either chrome or the maps app.
13) select the maps app, and do a search for a random business that has a phone number.
14) Once the business info comes up, click call.
15) This will open the phone app. From there, go into the settings, and click on sound settings.
16) Voila! This brings you to the settings menu.
Now, my issue. It seems there is no way (or no option at least) to do a soft system restore from within the operating system. Now, I have tried disabling various apps, and stopping various proccesses in order to remove whatever process is responsible for the FRP notice, but to no avail. Ive even rooted the device and uninstalled anything I could think might be the culprit.
What do we do next folks??
Halp!
Thanks.:good:

I had this happen to me earlier and used this method. www(dot)youtube(dot)com/watch?v=b7xlXPDBxmY Just go download the file over at his blog. Put the phone in download mode and pick option #2. His phone reboots automatically in the video. Mine didn't, but I just powered it off and back on. I then had the option to skip past the the email portion.

just unplug ur router exactly when the phone says checking for updates and it'll let you skip the whole Google account thing. but you have to do it at the perfect time. took me 5 or 6 tries but it worked[emoji56]

Bumping to see if there's been another legit solution. I too have an LG G Stylo locked with the FRP. I've tried reflashing stock firmware, I've tried the Tungkick software, I've tried 6th_hokage's sofrware too, still no success.

Thanks but no, doesn't work. The overview and allow from unknown sources features have been patched. Can't use either option despite being able to backdoor into the browser, downloading the app, and even selecting it to install.

easy peasy
Look I nuked my phone I'm typing on a tripped out barcode scanner. I used lg backup to get through on my stylo. After the reset try and connect to a generic WiFi and then do a screen shot and share it via email that will get you on the web and then you should be able to search for and open up the settings app by choosing manage accounts while in the browser. Once your in settings clear all data on every app that says Google. But if you clear setup wizard you should be good. Then you should be able to restart as a new device

Try disabling the Set Up Wizard

what's the trick?

No matter what you do if you can use any method to access the settings app/page from there you can go into the apps section and just disable the setup wizard and you'll get into the phone.

Ive been working on this for hours it feels like, last time i bypassed in ten minutes (different phone). Wont allow me to disable setup wizard or google play services, what options are there? Everything i have tried they have blocked ...

Android Auto

This may be a dumb question but how do you start Android Auto? I don't have a shortcut for it but the app is factory installed I guess. It doesn't start automatically when I plug it into my car.

Install apps from play store.

You quote "I guess" ....
Android auto isn't maps.
On my phone one plus 7pro Android auto work perfectly.
Clear apps data maybe.

Do you have USB debugging enabled? If so, try to disable it and see if the phone is recognized after.
Also, try a different USB plug in the car and a different cable.
...and at the risk of stating the obvious, are you sure that full-link is enabled and supported in your car?

Android Auto is installed because when I go to the app store it's installed and if I try to uninstall it, it only uninstalls the updates so this tells me that it comes pre installed. I am on the new McLaren edition of the phone. However, there is no Android Auto shortcut so I can't run the app. It's odd.

I actually got it to work, it was the USB cable I was using. However, it's weird that there is no shortcut to start the app manually.

There used too be, but now it's integrated as a System app, and seeing as Google is released a stand alone "Android Auto" type app for users who use it on there phone display is why they did that.

Does anyone manage to use "Link to Windows"/"Your Phone Companion" with Note 10?

Does anyone manage to use "Link to Windows"/"Your Phone Companion" with Note 10?
I got the Note 10 recently.
I'm trying to make it work with the "Your Phone" app on Windows 10, which is supposed to be really easy considering that "Link to Windows"/"Your Phone Companion" are preinstalled on the phone.
I managed to connect the phone to my Microsoft account (I see it at the portal). I also managed to get it listed in the "Your Phone" app on my laptop. The problem is, the app is blank. Basically, it's unable to fetch any information from the phone (Notifications/Messages/Photos/Apps). When I try to refresh, it always gets to the "We can't connect to ... Note 10. Make sure that your PC and phone are connected to the Internet." error. The app is for sure connected to the phone because "Open phone screen" works flawlessly, but nothing else does.
The phone itself shows the "Connected to your PC" notification and also shows that it's connected to my laptop in Settings -> Advanced features -> Link to Windows.
Things I checked so far:
1. The Windows "Your Phone" app is latest version.
2. The "Link to Windows"/"Your Phone Companion" are both latest version from the Galaxy Store.
3. I also tried the version of "Your Phone Companion" from Play Store (it's newer) - same result.
4. All required permissions are granted to the "Your Phone Companion" app on the phone.
5. Both laptop and phone are connected to the same WiFi (no AP isolation on the router).
6. Also tried allowing mobile data and disconnecting the phone from WiFi - same result.
7. The phone is for sure connected to the PC over bluetooth.
8. Windows 10 is latest (2004 build 19041.508).
9. Phone is also latest (N970FXXU6DTH7/N970FOXM6DTH7).
It's really frustrating, and any help will the highly appreciated.
P.S. To anyone asking why I would want to use this service - I want a way to minimize distractions from my phone during work. Basically, this way, I will be able to see (and ignore) all the notifications from the phone on my laptop + answer/ignore calls via the headset that's always connected to the laptop without ever looking at my phone.

Things I can see interfering:
1. On the laptop I have 2 Microsoft accounts (work and personal). Although, both the app on the laptop and on the phone show my personal account in the Settings.
2. Missing drivers on the laptop. Although, Windows Update doesn't find anything and when the phone is connecting to the laptop via bluetooth is seem to be set-up properly.

Hello.
Today "your phone" app was updated with windows store..
So this new update bring ability also use the phone apps on windows desktop. Magnificent news
However before update things was perfectly working for me.
today, after the update,
I couldnt manage to connect.
I tried to change wifi , reset modem, change dns, turn of firewall, change different msn account.
Remove your phone app from windows and install again with powershell,
Clear data and chache of android app, giving full permissions + allowing notification reach access
Nothing worked for me.
The last step which the app says
"We will send notification.to your phone , press allow etc.."
Waits forever..
That notification never comes phone and process never completes.
So i feel it is from ms servers.

Thanks @m_carleone82, @Hansoliv, so at least I know I'm not alone with that issue.

I used to have the same problem, I believe it has something to do with debloated apps from adb, even after re-enabling them didn't help. Flashing the firmware was my option and now everything is working.

OK, so had some time on my hands today and eventually I fixed it.
I had to enable two things that are not mentioned anywhere in the Microsoft FAQs:
1. Enable "Share across devices". Enabling only "Nearby sharing" is not sufficient.
Settings -> System -> Shared experiences -> Share across devices
2. Allow "Microsoft apps can sign me in" for my secondary (personal) Microsoft account.
It's the default if you have only one account, but if you add another you can select "Apps need to ask me to use this account", which I did, because I don't want to mix personal stuff in the work laptop. But apparently "Your Phone" never asks...
Settings -> Accounts -> Email and accounts
Now everything works.

Works for me when I configured the first time, then never got connected again

Please disable battery save mode to use this app...
