Before I begin some information on the phone that might help...
The phone was bought through TELUS and of course is unlocked, it is running Stock Android 2.3.4. It is rooted (though the issue was the same when it wasn't) and it seems to be the same problem on Opera 10 as well as the default browser.
The Problem is whenever I attempt to login to a webiste on either the default browser or Opera 10, it does some sort of various issue ultimately failing to login. Over Wi-Fi this does not happen at all, but on the 3G connection with TELUS, It refuses to logon to any website.
Things Tried-
-Clearing all history cache browsing data etc.
-Restarting
-Opera browser
Have you tried fixing permissions through recovery.
I use the dolphin browser, but sometimes i get certificate not verified when trying to go to Sprint and a few other sites. But it doesn't not allow me to log in.
Have you checked browser settings to allow cookies and the others to see what they are set at.

I'm an avid facebook.com user and often liked to hook up to m.facebook.com using my old Magician. Now I have a Trinity, have set up the wireless correctly etc, but it won't accept my login details. It just returns to the login screen with my details still sat there. I've tried other sites, that don't require logging in and the connection is set up fine. While I accept there could just be a problem with facebook mobile, I don't use any other sites where I have to login with specific details, so can't test this possibility....
Has anyone else experienced any difficulties with ie on this phone?
Opera
Have since installed Opera Mini and it logs in fine... So can only assume internet explorer has an issue with sending data..?
Now to get msn on this thing... Still kinda missing the Magician, but for the wireless LAN...

By any chance have you disabled cookies? That's a very common cause of login problems. I use several sites that require login and they work fine.
Cookies
No, cookies enabled. Tried clearing them too, but still just loads up the same page each time...
Must have been a site issue, as it's all now working fine...
I am staying in a hotel for a few days. The hotel has a wifi network that can be accessed with a userid and password through a page that opens with a browser. Entered that and can browse anywhere I want. Wifi icon in lower right corner of my Acer is at about 50% strength and blue. My Gmail app will not download email, however, and when I check My Apps in the market app it says there is a network error. Clearly, while I can access the web I can not access my Google account through the native android Google apps. I don't think it is authenticating my Google account. Any ideas or suggestions?

Although I don't know for sure as I have never tried, it might be something similar to some people who were able to tether to their cellphones with an app called "pdanet". Basically they were only able to use the browser. I'm not 100% on this as it is just a hunch, but it would seem that the browser and all other network services communicate in different ways. For example, the browser communicates in http which requires authentication (user name and password to browse) but since the market and possibly the gmail app do not communicate via HTTP (Gmail is likely IMAP) they cannot authenticate and therefore cannot communicate with your network. You can likely still use the market and gmail through your browser though.
Without knowing the specifics, maybe the hotel wifi only allows port 80, the default for web sites.
The network is weird at best. They had issues this morning that shut everything down. When it came back up the Gmail (but not Market) app worked but this evening neither works. I can access gmail through the browser. It is irritating but not a huge problem. Thanks for the input.

Hi, when trying to connect to free wifi, one frequently has to enter info on a website. However, in many of those cases my NSTG redirects me automatically using the built-in browser rather than my Opera mobile. Sometimes that causes issues (unresponsive browser etc). How can I define what browser is being used when my nook redirects to a website for connecting to the Internet?
Thanks!

You can always just delete Browser.apk.
That works fine for me.
I forget if it redirects automatically.
Still, just go to Google or something in your favorite browser and it will display the "Accept" screen.
Deleting browser.apk seems to make things worse. Again, when I am redirected to a login page (NST does this automatically when in Settings/wireless for some providers) it fails....because it does not find browser.apk anymore.
I tried to rename the opera mobile apk to browser.apk, but I could not find the opera mobile apk in the system/app folder....
Sent from my NOOK using xda premium
You wouldn't find Opera Mobile in /system/app, it's not a system app.
You'd find it in /data/app, because it's a regular user app.
Not that renaming anything would help, that's not how Android finds things.
I don't have a login access point here to check anything out,
although it seems to work fine when I visit locations with logins.
I looked into how this works.
The Nook tries to access http://amifree.barnesandnoble.com/bnhello.html
That URL should just echo back "You have successfully reached the internet!"
It uses the built-in WebKit functionality.
This seems a waste for a number of reasons, including that you might have your Nook connected to a WiFi but not the internet.
In any case, I still don't understand what happens to you when you click on an Access point to connect.
If you have to, you enter the password for the WPA or whatever.
Then you open your browser of choice, go to any site and if you are going to be directed, you'll be redirected then.
Reminder to self: Patch or get rid of the B&N web access.
Thanks Renate. So that is how it works:
Since there is no user accessible browser on non rooted NST devices, the device connects and immediately checks the website you list below (saying "testing..." while checking).
If the receiver requires a redirect (for instance to accept certain terms), the hidden browser will be
invoked. Unfortunately that fails if browser.apk is deleted or the browser cannot handle the content on that site and one cannot connect to the internet
Best would be to disable the check so that can be done manually on the browser of choice for rooted devices.

Yes, it would fail at displaying the redirect page.
Are you saying that at that point it actually disconnects the WiFi?
Does the little signal thingie on the status bar disappear?
What happens when you just go to your regular browser and go to any website?
On mine, at that point I get the redirect screen I would have gotten originally.
Yes, the signal bars disappear (and I am no longer connected)...

Well, in that case, I'd patch Settings.apk to not do the online check.
In any case, I'm still at a loss to understand, because WebKit is part of the core, not an application and the login page will always be displayed in Settings.
How can I patch Settings.apk?
>> login page will always be displayed in Settings
The page is being displayed, but in some cases the browser used (browser.apk) cannot handle the content of the redirected website and I cannot login (not sure if that answers your questions though....).
I just got build number MHC19Q today but this problem has actually been going on for about a week. I am using chrome and I can load any webpage except for google.com. It will just start to show the loading bar and stop 1/4 of the way. So i can't type a word or phrase and search for it since chrome is not loading google.com. I am using the most updated version of chrome (49.0.2623.105) and I even tried using Chrome Beta...same result. I cannot access Google.com. I can access gmail.com but nothing that has google in the web address. Any ideas?
Things I have tried all ready...clear cache and data. I tried to uninstall and reinstall. I tried Chrome Beta. I also tried restarting the phone. None worked. I even tried using a different browser (Firefox) and I get the same result, I cannot load google.com.

Ok, so after doing all sorts of things, I finally found out that it is a wifi issue. If i turn off my wifi, I can access google now just fine. I can do searches and everything. However, the minute I turn on wifi again, it stops working again. I am 100% it is not a router or wifi issue itself as any other website search it comes up fast and I have tried it in different locations with different routers...all the same, google now wont work with wifi on. Any one else having this issue?
Might be a possible DNS issue with your Wi-Fi. To check:
1.) Go to Settings>Wi-Fi Network then long press your Wi-Fi network name on the list.
2.) Select "Modify Network" then check whether you have "DHCP" or "Static". Likely the " Static" option is chosen as the issue occurs across different wi-Fi networks.
3.) If indeed "Static" is chosen scroll down until you see "DNS 1" and "DNS 2". Make sure you are using the correct DNS servers. Or you may try using public DNS servers like OpenDNS or Google. Save changes then try again to connect via Wi-Fi.
To public WiFi like in Walmart I'm a able to connect to it but then I get this message on my browser when trying to search for something?
I tried turning it off and on but still have the same problem. My brothers were able to connect and browse just fine.

Does it work in Chrome?
The wifi is trying to redirect your phone to the signin page, but your browser sees it as a security problem and blocks it. There are a number of potential solutions to try. If you google for something like "open wifi popup can't connect" and similar to that, more will come up.
--Try temporarily disabling popups in Opera and get it to work.
--Clear the cache for Opera.
--For alternate browsers, try searching for something in Chrome and see if it redirects to the login page for you. Using Dolphin set to "Desktop" (vs. Mobile) may also work.
--Alternatively, when the login page comes up for your brothers, make a note of it and type it into Opera.
