Android Browser Login Problems


Day

Recommended Posts

I'm trying to nail down the Android problems some users have been having, I have been testing several Android user agent strings which basically fools my browser to think I am using an android device and having no issues.

If you don't have any problems or don't use an Android device please stay out of this thread, I don't need to know it works fine for you and it's really not helpful as I'm trying to work with just the users that are affected.

If you cannot login on using Android browser please answer the several questions below and that's it, I will contact you all by Private Message if I believe it to be now fixed or ask you for more info.

Please no discussions or comments like it's still not working as I may need to forward this thread to the IPB developers to look into.

Again if you are reading and someone is using the exact same phone as you and you have no issues, like I say please stay out of this thread as I only need to work with the members who are having issues.

Android Version:

Just noticed something a little strange on my windows phone.

I accidentally typed dcfcfans.uk. With an extra full stop at the end into my address bar. I stead of taking me to the mobile skin logged in it took me the home page and not logged in.

When I typed in just dcfcfans.uk (without the full stop at the end) it worked normally.

Just wonderring if their could be a rogue full stop in the formatting of the cookies or redirection anywhere (I'm not sure how cookies work to be honest)

But how many people would have (or noticed) just an extra full stop on the web address?

Like you said it takes you to the full site, people's complaint is on mobile skin it doesn't log them in.

I've asked people to Google the forum and login through that link as well, still no fix. It's nothing to do with a extra full stop
