Cannot establish a secure connection error
This has just started happening the last 2 weeks. Whenever I try to log in to any wifi hotspot like the cloud or free pub wifi I get an error, "Connection Problem, Cannot establish a secure connection"
I can access a Google homepage so obviously it's making a connection but it won't go any further or load the login screen so I am unable to get full internet access. At first I thought it was an issue with the router/hotspot so got my wife to try it off her phone and she was able to sign in without any problems. Then today I tried to access a totally different wifi hotspot and got the error again so the issue is clearly with my handset.
I can access my router at home and other routers which I have set up via a wpa password like the ones at my dad's house and my friend's routers etc. The error specifically occurs when trying to access wifi hotspot which require the user to sign in. It worked fine up until last week or so but now I can't access any wifi hotspot without getting this error.
I've tried clearing the browser data and cache. I've tried forgetting the router then restarting my phone and then reconnecting but the issue still remains. I've even cleared the Google account and reinstalled it. Cleared the data from the Google play and services app just in case it could be an issue with Google services. I've pulled the battery and done a soft reset. I've tried disabling and resetting mobile data in case this was causing a conflict and I've reset the network access points. Even though this issue is affecting wifi access not mobile data, I wanted to cover all the bases. So far nothing has worked. Short of doing a factory reset I don't know what else to try. I don't really want to do a factory reset if possible as I will lose all my stored wifi passwords and messages which I am unable to backup.
My device is a galaxy s2 running stock ICS firmware.
