Hi
I have a freshly rooted DroidX with cyanogenmod ROM. I am trying to use the phone for the first time (no cell contract, via wifi only). So, I have to create a gmail account.
I have entered my wifi info, and the phone indicates it's connected to the internet. Opening gmail and entering a username and password that was previously used gets me an error screen saying the gmail program cannot connect to the internet. When I open a browser and try to connect to a website, I get a message that the site has an invalid certificate. There appears to be no way to bypass this screen using the stock browser in cyanogenmod. A window pops up and says "Security Warning, There are problems with the security certificate for this site". I am given the choice of 'go back', 'view certificate' or 'continue'. If I choose 'view certificate', the screen says "this certificate isn't from a trusted authority'. The certificate is issued to 'smrtpxl.advertising.com'. I get this error no matter which site I try to visit Ebay, google.com, etc all show the same certificate as described above. One of the first things I intend to download after getting registered on gmail is the firefox browser....for now I'm stuck with the one that came with the aftermarket ROM.
I should also say the phone has no sd card. I bought it without the sd card because I will only run a few apps on it and it will never have a cellphone provider (will always be used via wifi). Is it possible the previous owner removed his sd card before shipping the phone to me, which has some data on it that I need to use the phone?
It appears I am missing some security certificates, but I have no idea what to do to begin using the phone.
HELP......................
TY.

Other info
I left out a little info in the original post.
First, I do see the websites in the browser initially, but within a few seconds, the warning message pops up and blocks most of the screen. Nothing I can do will make it go away.
I can also do a google search when typed in the google widget, but clicking on any of the links from the search results makes the dreaded error message pop up.
I sure hope there's something I can do to put this phone into service.

I updated my HTC Trophy 7 to windows phone 7.5 (Mango) today, and since then, my Windows Live account won't seem to sync. It gives me the an 'Attention Required' message below the name of my windows live account. After clicking, it says 'Your password is incorrect' and shows the incorrect number of ***** for my password... It reverts to 8 **** every time. After entering my correct password, it syncs for a while before going back to the 'Attention Required' message.
Every time I go to the facebook chat option in the text hub, I get a
"Incorrect Password
Make sure your password is correct. Tap settings to fix it.""
This doesn't fix it.
Any help?
I have the exact same problem. I've tried various online remedies from verifying alternate email addresses to changing my password and logging in again on my phone, etc.
Nothing has worked. It's not a complete dealbreaker here, but it's awfully obnoxious when I go to use the chat functions on my phone.
Anybody have any insight on this?
I am having this same issue now, but only with Windows Live ID. I didn't do a Zune update, but instead used an official Verizon ROM on my Trophy to upgrade to 7.5...
Basically a gloried factory reset. I can buy apps on XBL and on the Market... even though my live account is apparently not working right. ;
*edit*
Well, I logged into my live account and changed the password... and after plugging my new password into my phone: about 20 mins, the problem cleared up. Weirdness. ;
So I enabled 2-step verification on my gmail, and after doing so my gmail accounts on the phone stopped working.
I read that I needed to create application specific passwords in this case, so I did it.
After inputting these passwords (I have 2 separate Gmail accounts), I started receiving mail successfully (it gets pushed and I get the new mail notification). However, I am berated with notifications that there is a sign-in error. Clearing these only lasts for a couple of minutes before they come back.
How can I get the phone to stop thinking it's having a sign-in error? I have searched and this doesn't seem to be a common problem (I'm guessing because not that many people are using 2-step verification?).
I even tried completely removing the accounts and starting over from scratch with new application-specific passwords. No dice - still getting sign-in errors.
Any ideas? Thanks!
I was able to fix the problem (I think). Here's how I did it:
1) Remove all gmail accounts from phone
2) Re-add account(s) to the phone using a newly created application-specific password titled 'Droid Charge'
3) When the error arises, create another application-specific password titled 'Droid Charge #2' and use that
Should get rid of it. Don't know why it requires two separate passwords, but since doing this I have stopped receiving the error.
I can't say that this will work on GB, because I've only tried it on ICS, but did you try just putting in your regular password? At least on ICS and later, when you do that it will redirect you to a webpage that asks for your authorization code, and then does the normal token exchange and pairs to your account.

Yes, I had tried that. Unfortunately GB falls under the 'older phones' bracket, and it's not smart enough to redirect.
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
Sent from my SM-G355H using XDA Free mobile app
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.

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...

So, I'm running an old Nexus 6P
Android 8.1.0
Stock Rom, Rooted (Magisk)
A few months ago, I noticed some apps were no longer logged in. I tried logging in and authentication failed (mostly silently)
Twitter: account login gives message "cannot create account"
Pocketcasts: login appears to work, but actually fails silently
Dropbox: "Unknown error, please contact Dropbox customer support."
Apps that continue to work: Facebook, LINE, Instagram, Mega,
By trying Tweetings, I am able to get a semi-useful error message from Twitter: "401: Authentication credentials (https://dev.twitter.com/auth/docs) were missing or incorrect. Ensure that you have set valid consumer key/secret, access token/secret, and the system clock is in sync."
My guess is that there's something wrong with how my phone deals with Oauth, since it's broken on multiple apps.
Things I've tried:
uninstalling and reinstalling the apps
upgrading to the final version of the stock ROM for the Nexus 6p (I was a year behind)
checking my clock settings to make sure time zone is correct and that network time is on
Things I'd rather avoid:
factory reset (it takes me a long-ass time to get my phone set up the way I want it after that, and it will be especially bad if it then doesn't work)
Any ideas? My even older Nexus 6 (also rooted) has no problems like this at all, so it does seem to be some kind of issue on the phone.
Thanks in advance for anyone able and willing to help me troubleshoot this, it's been driving me nuts for ages.
