+GEO-BUM Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Does anyone have any ideas as to why I am unable to sign into geocaching.com with my Android phone?? I have verified my sign in name and password... no luck. Everything works just fine when I try to sign in with my notepad as well as with my laptop and desktop computers. In fact I have tried with both of my Android phone without luck. Help!! Quote Link to comment
AZcachemeister Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Using the web browser? Using some app?? Quote Link to comment
+GEO-BUM Posted September 17, 2012 Author Share Posted September 17, 2012 Using the web browser? Using some app?? When using the web browser is when I can't sign in. I use the app c:geo and have no problems with it. Quote Link to comment
+dakboy Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Depending on which keyboard you're using, you might be getting an extra space at the end of one field or the other, or your password might be getting capitalized by accident. Quote Link to comment
+GEO-BUM Posted September 17, 2012 Author Share Posted September 17, 2012 I am using a Samsung with a slide out keyboard. I have tried both the touch screen and the keyboard without any luck. Funny thing is...which I didn't mention until now...I used to be able to sign in before. That's why it is driving nuts now that I can't. Quote Link to comment
+WoollySMASH Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 I had this same issue with the default browser. It isn't very fine tuned for any forums at all. I solved the issue by using Chrome over the default... I also tired firefox with no luck. Quote Link to comment

I am using a Samsung Stratosphere and when I checked on loading Chrome into my cell it said...my cell isn't compatible with this version. Just not my day I guess. Quote Link to comment

Chrome only works on ICS (Android 4.0) and newer, and requires certain hardware capabilities as well. You're probably running Gingerbread (2.3). Have you tried Opera Mobile, or Dolphin Browser?

+OZ2CPU Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 (edited) I have EXACTLY the same problem, I found it is in fact the keyboards when on the log in screen, my login is OZ2CPU, this mean I normally just hold W for a sec to make a 2 but this is a NO NO on (ONLY) this log in screen !!! so I input OZ and select number keypad, input the 2, now select alpha keypad and input the CPU now I continue with the password, same stuff... now it really log in, and it works.. but lucky me, I only need to do this a few times a week.. since the remember me, kind of works a few days, until it forget me again by it self !! WHEN will systems like this have another select button to click : REMEMBER ME FOR GOOD AND NEWER FORGET ME ! Edited September 18, 2012 by OZ2CPU Quote Link to comment

+T.D.M.22 Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 On my phone the first letter is automatically capitalised. Since my password isn't I have to select lowercase. Maybe that's the problem. Quote Link to comment

Maybe that's the problem. It maybe an issue because every time I log in with geo-bum it goes right back to Geo-Bum. Can't make it quick. What I didn't know was signing in was case sensitive. I think that is what you are saying. Anyways I switched to Opera Mobile browser and I can log in just fine now. Not sure why but I'm happy I can. Quote Link to comment
+GEO-BUM Posted September 19, 2012 Author Share Posted September 19, 2012 (edited) Finally I got the Android browser working again. Thanks to all who tried to help with my problem. This is what I did...... Went to home page..then to applications..next to settings..then to applications..next to manage applications..then hit all..next hit browser then hit clear data. Now I tried to sign into geocaching.com again from the Android default browser and presto..it works. AMAZING!! Edited September 19, 2012 by GEO-BUM Quote Link to comment
