HTC Desire not connecting to certain HTTPS site? - Desire General

Hi all, i just got my HTC Desire but have been spending hours trying to get it to connect to my uni website,
https://portal.shef.ac.uk
It pops up with a message saying the certificate is untrusted, i press continue and then it says, " Data connectivity problem, The server failed to communicate. Try again later."
However it never works, I have tried using dolphin which brings up the same message.
However Opera and fennec browser seem to load the page fine.
Please can someone tell me what is going on.
Many Thanks
James

i Think u need to install the certificate from the web page, so the phone see it as trusted site..?

cant log in to facebook

hey, for some reason i cant log in to facebook using pocket IE. any ideas why? is there some other browser i can use that would work? if so, how do i get it? thanks

I assume you mean the mobile version of it. It used to work. No idea why it stopped. I just go to the standard version now. PITA. Maybe the carrier?

Nope, its Internet Explorer. Bookmark this link and you should be good to go...
http://www.facebook.com/login.php
If that does not work. Go on your PC and login. Use the sub-link that is placed before facebook.com and replace the www above with it.

U can also clear ur history and temporary internet files. And make sure u get the security warning. Once u get it, ur good to go. At first i thought it was Gmail but it seems its a IE thing.
edit: It is a gmail thing. At least for me. Scroll to bottom and click "view in HTML" and u'll get security warning.
loggin into facebook is the easy part, but can you post on walls? I've had no luck doing that
The mobile version of the site is far better.
http://m.facebook.com
Mobile Facebook is great. I just got on it today because they recently did a redesign which is making it a pain to view in Pocket IE.
I also have problems logging into m.facebook.com but I usually get to the login screen and then use the link at the bottom of the page to do a standard login. The only thing that annoys me is that if I use my P990i instead I stay permanantly logged in on it, whereas my MDA Mail (UK Spec) keeps on logging me out grrr.
If you're having trouble getting the login at m.facebook.com to work, try this link instead:
http://m.facebook.com/login.php?http&next=http://m.facebook.com/home.php
Bookmark that, and you'll be good to go. It basically forces you to the HTML login page instead of the WAP login, but keeps you on the mobile interface to save data.

too many server directs

Hi,
I am having a problem when I try and access my Sky.com email account from my Desire. I get to the Sky.com page, click on my email, sign in and then get "Data connectivity problem" and "the page contains too many server redirects" and then a "web page not available" screen.
I have plenty of memory available on both the phone and the SD card. I have cleared cache, history and cookies etc.
I have removed all reference to sky on the phone, googled it, and tried again. Same result.
I have no problem accessing my account on my pc and I used to be able to get onto the account using the phone. It makes no difference whether I am connecting via wifi or the mobile network.
Any ideas what this means and any ideas how to solve.
Thank you.
The browser is having a problem with the way the website redirects it to the correct page. Possibly try a different browser - Dolphin, perhaps?
Thanks for that.
Have just down loaded Dolphin (nice browser) but no joy, I get exactly the same messages.
It isn't a problem accessing the account however because I can, via my pc, organise the Sky emails to be sent to my hotmail account which I can access via the phone.
However, as I used to be able to access my Sky emails from the phone but now cannot, I want/need to sort it out!!
Any further ideas?
I don't have a Sky account so can't check to see exactly what's going on here. You say "I used to be able to access my Sky emails from the phone" - do you mean on your HTC Desire? And it's just stopped working properly? That being the case, I suspect you're going to have to wait for Sky to come up with a fix. NTL/Virgin users have experienced a similar problem: http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?p=40027958
Thanks again.
I used to be able to access my e-mails directly from the Sky account on the Desire. I went abroad on holiday recently and couldn't access them (ie get into my Sky account after signing in) on the Desire, I presumed because I was out of the UK and something needed to be changed in my Sky email account settings.
However, since returning, the position remains the same. Google provide the email service for Sky.
PS And on that subject, I am also getting a security warning telling me there are problems with the security certificate in that the name of the site does not match the name on the certificate ie Sky is the site; Google is on the certificate!!
Did anyone get through this? I am getting the same damn problem.
Someone pls help.
Try operamini, that's what I allways use when websites play up.

HTC Keyboard- "unable to reach server" ERROR

Hi
Got myself a new Desire... pre-loaded with Froyo!
I was trying to use the voice to text feature to type a message over wifi, but i keep getting the error - "unable to reach server".
I press the voice button on the keyboard, then its says 'speak now' and when i stop (the part where it is supposed to go online to recognize) it gives me the error- unable to reach server.
and obviously my wifi is working fine in all other apps.
Please HELP!! Can't tolerate this on a new phone ;-)
No one facing the same issue?? strange!!
i was also thinking of rooting my phone and putting a ROM in it which might solve the issue!! any suggestions on which ROM to use (as there are so many now) which might be as close as possible to stock ROM...
Hi, I am facing the same issue.....someone pls help

Opera mobile 10 internal communication error

I was using Opera mobile for a long time without issue on my tilt 2. then one day it just stopped working on most of my sites, if i try Google or yahoo web mail it will say internal communication error. I can bring up some sites but once I try to get somewhere to put my password in it gives the error.
It happened a while ago and I just used the IE in the meantime, Im just kind of sick of using IE.
Anybody got an idea?
Bump, anybody?
It's horrible when there are no replies isn't it I'm certainly no expert but have you tried reinstalling opera or even doing a factory reset (only as last resort). You may even be required to remove reg entries too before reinstalling opera. Sorry i cant be of much help.

[Q] Wifi not connecting

Please can someone help, up until I had an update on my htc m8 I was able to log into my work wifi, I would be taken to a page and had to click "accept" and I was on! this has suddenly Stopped working and it seems like the phone won't take me to the page where I need to click "accept" it just gives me a blank page and asks me to enter my usename and password which I don't have as we all log in as "guest" plus there is nowhere to enter this info even if I had it! I tried the wifi fix and it says I'm connected yet I can't surf the net, chekc emails or anything so it's clearly not working. Others in my office have no problem so I am baffled. I've restored the phone, changed browsers and even a factory re set but to no avail. Any suggestions please? Thanks
