Can't login on websites with HTC browser

Hi,
I have a "weird" problem with my HTC Hero: whenever I try to login on a webpage (e.g. a forum or the website of my university), it doesn't work...
So: on the website I tap on "Log in". The browser takes me to another site where I enter my username and password. But after tapping the "Login" or I tap "Enter", the browser redirects me to the previous login website, where I have to press again "Log in" and re-enter my details...This happens every time... It doesn't make "the click" to direct me to the site I get when the login works... My username and password are 100 % correct...
When i try it with Opera Mini, it DOES work...
Is it some kind of setting or ... ? I have enabled the browser to store my usernames and passwords I enter...
Thanks in advance !

Hmmm... anyone?

I have this problem with capital one's website.. I would like to know a fix as well.

Luna,
can't help you but I can share your problem. It happens to me too.
You are not at Manchester Uni are you?

I've tried a few websites that I use where login details are required i.e. forums, banks, email etc and it works fine for me.
Just out of curiosity, do you zoom in on the web page login area so that the 'Login' button is larger and can be selected easier? I always do that and never seem to have the problem you're experiencing.

@cbailey: no, I live in Belgium, so ..
@thecastleforkid: I just tried your method (zooming in on "Log In"), but it din"t work...
Like when I try to login in on a forum, for example www.9lives.be/forum (a belgian website), i try to login... so i click on the login button... the site redirects me to : www.9lives.be/login... I enter my details... the site SHOULD go back to www.9lives.be/forum, but in stead it goes to www.9lives.be/login/login......
and this happens with other websites also...
In Opera mini everything works fine (but i prefer the Hero browser with the multitouch...)
Very strange...

Hello.
I had the same issue with the french provider Orange.
So this is what I did to fix it, I don't know if it'll be the same for you :
Settings > Wireless Controls > Mobile Network Settings > Access Point Name
And I changed Orange World to Orange Internet.
The thing is you can't establish any secured connections (https) with some APNs apparently (I don't know the technicals details, sorry if I'm wrong in the explanations), so just try to change it.

Hi!
thanks for the tip, but I use Mobile Vikings... so I don't know what to change..
also: with opera mini it works fine.. and that's also on Mobile Vikings (obviously...).. so I guess it has to do with the browser of the Hero instead of my APN...
Correct me if I'm wrong
greets

Try to connect your websites over wifi and you'll be fixed.
If it doesn't work on wifi with hero's browser it's not your apn.

Well... I've tried that method (connecting through wifi) before... it didn't work... tried it again now... didn't work...
Man, it's getting annoying (not a lot of other complaints on the Hero though...)
Thanks for the tip anyway !
greets

I do think it has something to do with the security settings on the native browser. I try to login to my work intrAnet via the native browser and many times it goes straight into a password violation lockout because the network thinks I am trying to hack into it. ANyway, I have had your same problem. Guess for those certain sites you are just gonna have to use Opera Mini or something similar.

It's really weird I guess I can't help you sorry :/
Did you check if htc hero's browser accept the cookies in the settings ?

unable to use Windows live + email on mobile network

I got HD2 last week and I can connect to everything(HTC Sense weather etc) online via mobile network except checking my email and MSN Messenger. Those two only work then the phone in on wifi.
I have a 10 GB data plan as part of my subscription so I should be able to use those. Have I done a setup error? Or could it be my mobile provider blocking usage of those two services?
I have looked at my mobil providers homepage and it says nothing about those two service being blocked.
Any thoughts?

In your internet settings unselect "This network uses a proxy server to connect to the internet". I had the same problem on T Mobile UK and now everything works.

Yes, Sometimes after soft reset... But fix it is easy.

if unselect this proxyserver setting isn't something to do with security by the mobile provider?

no, the proxy just holds copies of web pages soo that you don't connect to the website every time. there is no difference by not using the proxy

I am having this same problem, but i have checked the proxy settings and the proxy is not configured.
any other ideas what it could be?
PS, I'm on vodafone if it makes any difference.
Thanks

I guess that your data plan covers only Internet browsing (port 80 and 443), email is on port 110 (in) and 25 (out) and Messenger on still another port, they must be blocked as you guessed in your first post. Orange implemented the same kind of restriction in France with its so called "Internet max" option, what a joke!

I have had this problem for 5 days now. I have tried different roms, hard resets and the proxy connection but it will not let me sign into msn or hotmail. Marketplace works fine though. I am also on vodafone but I tried to connect via a wifi hotspot and it still failed.
The only thing I can think of is that I recently deleted all of my msn contacts via outlook on my computer. I think that this has somehow messed up my profile and so the phone won't connect.
There is a help section on the live app which redirects you to a webpage. You fill in some details about your phone, operator, problem etc but the 'submit' button wouldn't work for me, so I didn't get anywhere.

Vodafone Live! problem with HTC HD2

I can't seem to access Vodafone Live! properly on my HD2. I cannot see the full content like on my N95 phone. I just get text and a lot of missing content. I have contacted vodafone and htc but they seem to not understand. I have setup the required settings/proxy to access Vodafone live!. Is it a windows mobile issue/compatibility? Or can it be fixed? If so how?

I think you will need to set up the proxy in opera / PIE , i m not with vodafone anymore, so i m not 100% sure. But when I help my friend set up optus, opera doesnt work, need to type in "config" in the URL bar to set it up.

uncheck the proxy settings
start - settings - connections - connections - setup my proxy server -

The quickest way to access Vodafone Live on the HD2 is to change your data settings to use "WAP" instead of contract internet.

Doing this makes it worse as I don't get any access at all. It takes me to the Vodafone.com website not Vodafone Live! I'm trying to access Vodafone Live! Webpage/services not the internet.

It's working for me. even without proxy server on.
Are you using opera or explorer?
try a different one.
Are the rest of the webpages good? example google.com?
Witch ROM are you using? are there some problems?
We will fix it...

are your connection settings ok?
username and password: vodafone

It seems I no longer have the vodafone live app on my phone after the rom upgrade.
I only have vodafone STK service.

Thats correct because with those settings it can only access the vodafone live! page. Here are screen shots of what I get which is very limited compared to my Nokia N95:
With opera:
As you can see it is only displaying text and it has very limited/missing content like mobile tv for example.
Any suggestions why that is guys?
To belsj can you post screenshots of what you get when your acessing vodafone live!?

BUMP

I hope you can see it.
Did you try to flash a different Rom, try one of Dutty or Miri.

You have to go to My Vodafone and disable this "Service" from vodafone which extracts the content from the page for Phones that dose not have a real browser. After that you can surf normal.
Vodafone Live requires a proxy server to setup only in windows (except from a few third party applications which dose not use the windows settings). The proxy server is why this service is so cheap. It makes sure you can only use the HTTP Port (80) and HTTPS Port (443). All services which working over HTTP or HTTPS are working over Vodafone Live.
In example Exchange Push works because it uses HTTPS (also Google Sync because it uses the same protocol). I also able to use apps like PocketTwit or the Facebook client and can hear live Podcasts and Webstreams with Kinoma Play. Also the HTC Services like Weather or Facebook works.
It is also possible to tunnel SSH over it so you can access any port you want. But i dose not found any good SSH client which autostart, autoconnects and autoreconnect if the connection is lost and all in background.
Its also possible to use it from you Notebook when you set up you browser to use the Vodafone Live proxy server. But its server if you tune the borwsers user agent string to a mobile version, because i dont know if Vodafone review its logs if someone uses a PC Browser to surf over it since it is not allowed in the terms of use.
Make sure you setup the proxy server under connection only for HTTP and Wap not for Socks.

looks like another service provider portal designed to increase their revenue from mobile data use.

Lost T-Mobile UK data settings HTC HD2

Hi can anyone help. Just put 1.66 ROM into my HD2 all is well apart from no internet connection available. Does anyone have the correct setings for T-Mobile UK internet and data use? Thought this would be a new dawn for my phone now I can't even check emails or get weather updates. I'm gutted. HELP!!!

remove your SIM/SD card and do a hard reset. turn it on with them still removed and set it up. put your SIM card in a it should ask you to choose your provider and install the correct settings. if not, you'll have to get T-Mobile to SMS them to you

settings menu all settings connections connection setup
does that work?
also, in start menu there is usually an icon your sim card puts there to get settings.

access point: general.t-mobile.uk
username: user
password: pass
thats contract settings for t-mobile.

Had the same problem,
Try
Start--->menu---> full menu ---->settings----> connections---->connection setup.

Auto settings puts in a proxy server for t-mobileUK (well mine does sometimes). No idea why!
Remove the check to use proxy and all OK.

That means that you are not trying to access sites or functions that dislike the proxy being enabled. When it is enabled the t-mobile proxy dictates what you can and cannot access. Try an ftp transfer with the proxy on!

ahhh.
my browsing is limited. same few sites.

proxy cap worked before on my former touch hd but not on the HD2.
