too many server redirects part 2 - Desire General

I still have this problem (part 1 currently on page 6 of this forum); the above message coming after I sign in to my Sky.com email account. So I cannot access my account.
I have been reading stuff on the internet about this problem and it is not uncommon and apparently this can be cookie related.
So my question is, is there any way I can see which cookies remain on my Desire? I am not talking about session cookies but the ones that still remain even after deleting those. It seems possible that the cookie deposited by Sky is corrupting my ability to access that site.
So it is worth a go but where do I find it? A virtual bottle of pop to anyone who can help.
Thank you.

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.

Exchange not working (since 2.2 flash but possibly not related)

Hi All,
Thought maybe someone here would have an idea, we run a exchange 2003 environment and since upgrading my phone to 2.2 (custom rom) I'm unable to sync with exchange.
It gets past the first screen asking for server details etc to the one that asks what data to synchronise with (mail, contacts, calendar) but upon clicking finish setup it loads processing and then says "Failed to create the account. Please try again later."
I am an administrator of our exchange environment so can check settings there but basically it worked under 2.1. We do enforce pin and it has done that already so there is some communication going on.
We do not self sign our own certificates for this it is signed by Equifax Secure Inc.
Also I have a feeling it might be related to content and be failing due to large amounts of emails - when syncing on 2.1 I had to choose the smallest amount of days to sync back to get it going - being a systems engineer I receive around 50+ emails a day and don't delete stuff.
If anyone has any ideas on anything I could look at doing on the phone or server side (considering exporting everything out and syncing then importing in but don't want to have to) it would be most appreciated.
Thanks in advance. Also thanks to the community for awesome threads on how to flash phone / create goldcard, confused me muchly with many hurdles but got there in the end so very much appreciated to those who participate in that area.
Shameless bump, anyone? I've wasted a large amount of time searching and trying to figure this one out.

Im trying to do the same with my hotmail account, everything passes until last screen than i get "Failed to create the account. Please try again later."
Using NeoPhyTe 1.6
I've been having this problem "FAILED TO CREATE ACCOUNT TRY AGAIN LATER" so long until today, many ppl have had this issue. They mentioned about the pin security and all of that. I didn't think that was true.
This had to do with the permissions set for the user in AD, I went in and (tick or check the) allow authentication, read, read and write phone. Follow from instructions here: (done in 2010 exchange)

I know can read my emails from exchange =)

Just thought I'd reply back to this in case anyone else was following this or wanted to know, I found the issue looks like it was related to opendesire (just a flash of it) account synced on another guys desire (2.2 stock). I did a factory reset which didn't fix it but have now flashed LeeDrOiD Mod and it's going strong. Thanks everyone for input .

[Q] BOT/Malware on EVO?

For the past week or so people in my hotmail contacts list are getting e-mails containing a link, and they are getting them daily. I am not sending out this e-mail and my EVO is usually the only form of a computer I have for e-mail.
When I first realized this was hapinning, I went to the Market and downloaded the free versions of Lookout Mobile Security, and AVG antivirus. Scaned with both of them and they both said my phone is clean, but the e-mails are still sending.
Guess my question is, is there a way for me to find this BOT or whatever it is and get rid of it with out having to restore my phone? Any and all help is greatly appreciated....
Thanks

I know that phones can aquire viruses and etc but I'm not sure there is anything that can clean them. Try scanning your microsd and if thAt does not work you may want flash a new rom or hard reset
Your email got phished. Change password and see if it continues.
Definitely change your password off top and then get in touch with hotmail, they will have the ip address of who/what has been doing it.
Thanks, Ill prob just flash a new ROM...
It's your email account in general. Chnage the password [make it stronger throwing at least a number in there] and you should be straight.

HELP!!! Urgent Evo problems

I am trying to set up an Evo for one of the managers at my company
I used all the same settings (other than login/pass obviously) as the settings for my Evo to connect to my work account....
Here's the problem I am having.
I am trying to set it up as a POP account. But it always comes back saying that it had a problem connecting.
On the email server side (I am also the network admin) I can see that the phone is trying to connect, but it never sends the login credentials.
From this phone, I tell it to update and the email server displays the IP address and "Logging On" and just sticks there until it times out.
On MY Evo (same settings in email client) the server displays "Logging On" for approx 1 second, then displays my login.
This tells me that it is a problem with the new Evo, and not server configuration.
The only difference I can find is that my Evo, and one other Evo that are currently working correctly are Hardware Version 0003, where the one that is giving me problems is Hardware Version 0004.
From everything I have read, the only difference betwwen the 0003 and the 0004 is the camera.
Has anyone else experienced this? This phone is for the VP of Operations so my ass is kinda on the line here.
Sorry if this post seems a little scatterbrained, but thats just how my head is working right now because of this situation.
Can you login with his account on your phone?
Have you tried your account on his phone?
I highly doubt this is a phone problem.
Is wifi on? I know its a dumb question but as weird as it sounds when wifi is on the email app gets angry.

saw an app called k9 in the market for mail. Might wanna check it out. Sorry I couldn't help more. If anything I bumped this thread for ya.
There is a mail app called Spider Mail I believe that works well. I had a problem with my student e-mail account and for some reason that bypassed it.
The above steps sound reasonable to try.
However, reason for my posting is, what is the justification for going POP over imap? Or do you intend on leaving the messages on the server?
As for K9, it's one of the better more robust email clients for android. Updates are released at least once a week on their google development site. My experience with it is strictly in an imap environment. It works exceptionally well in this config. Can't comment on its pop implementation.
His login works from mine.
No accounts work from his.
Wifi off for initial configuration. Have to make sure it resolves the address correctly over mobile connection instead of caching how the mail server address resolves within my network.
Messages will remain on server, pop3 is fine (and is the configuration that is working on my evo)
I want to retain the stock mail app, makes support easier if everyone is set up the same.
Thanks for all the responses. I'm thinking a factory reset may be in order.
You could try installing alogcat, attempt the server connection, then review the phone's log to see what errors are detected.

thanks, I will give this a shot.
Thanks for all the help. The problem ended up not being the phone at all. It was a really screwy problem with active directory.

Lol. Trust me, wasn't my decision to use any Microsoft products. I inherited it from my predecessor. And I have yet to find a reliable way to migrate away from exchange.

[Bug] Constant log-outs

This has gotten to the point where I need to bring it up, apparently.
What the heck is going on with the constant partial log-in situation?
I.E. everytime I refresh the page or navigate to a new one I may or may not be logged in.
It gets quite obnoxious, especially on mobile, when you're looking for a thread you've viewed/read/posted-in/whatever and you're logged out...refresh refresh refresh...logged in. Find one thread. Logged out once you click. Back to another forum to find another thread...logged in, and then back out.
This has been going on on all 4 of my Android devices, my PC (chrome/firefox) etc for a few months now.
Yes, it's surely an issue
But clicking on any user's profile logs me in again, so, whenever I come to XDA, I usually come to my Device's Forum and find myself logged out, I click on first user profile I see, of moderator efrant
But yes, it's pretty annoying but I think it should be in Requests/Recommendations threads.

The 2 things that you'll need to check to remain logged in is to:
1) Ensure cookies are enabled. Depending on your browser, you could have a setting such as "Clear cookies when closing browser" and if that is the case you would be logged out all the time. If running Chrome, this setting would be effective across multiple devices.
2) Check the "Remember me" box when logging in. If you check this, XDA will set a cookie which will keep you logged in.
One other thing to remember. If you view a page one and your browser caches it, if you navigate back to it you could get the old page locally which will show you as logged out. When you hit "Refresh" this then hits the server again which will show you as logged in.
If you are browsing somewhere where there is a proxy (either on your local machine or on your network) this could also be caching pages which could show you as logged out when you are really logged in.

None of the above apply for me unfortunately.
Cookies enabled, and again, this is multiple devices/browers/OS's.

This is very hard to troubleshoot as I'm not experiencing this problem. How familiar are you with inspecting headers and that sort of thing?
