Has anyone managed to login into the main sr site on android device? i have a galaxy s4 (non rooted) and i have installed orbot and orweb. The website loads fine and so does the captcha, but when i fill in my details (corretly) it always kicks me back to the login page.
any advice?

It works fine using it now.
-
damn well mine just doesnt want to login! going to reinstall the apps just incase its a setting or something.
-
I used it several times and worked fine for me but I have a rooted phone

i received about 10 messages the other day from someone having the same problem. i wasn't able to suggest a fix, but you're definitely not the only one having that problem.

dont use that man, its to unsecure

Can someone suggest a better alternative to Orweb on Android?

There isn't one. The problem is the operating system and the fact that it's designed to keep control in someone elses hands. Rooting your phone is literally exploiting a security hole to escalate your privilege level and take control by force -- the platform itself is problematic. To my knowledge Orweb and Orbot are fine themselves, for whatever that's worth (not much).

I would suggest only browsing SR, or making small buys via android devices. If you are a big time vendor the risks are not worth it.
You might as well get a cheap laptop..

i used to use OnionBrowser on my jailbroken iphone 4 without a problem. Changed to a Galaxy S4 recently, it's not rooted. I mainly wanna browse and check status of orders when i'm bored at work jajaj i'm small time buyer. ::) just can't get it to login, i think its probably that the captcha isn't validating correctly. oh well!

I was having the exact same issue. Fixed it by going to Settings and selecting "Accept all cookies" under Cookie Behavior. Went back to log-in and it's worked ever since. Hope that helps!

We should have all checked the release notes, apparently:
What's new in v5 (yes!) beta 3
WARNING: This new version increases the default security mode, to disable Javascript by default, and to turn off all cookie storage. You can enable these in Settings, if you need to log into a site.

nice one!! that did the trick. enabled javascript and cookies and sorted. now logs in fine.
Thanks to all! Much appreciated.
