Webmail blocked from xoom?

[attyraymond]

It's now mid-Feb 2012 and I found my way to this thread b/c I started having problems with accessing Lotus Notes webmail from my Samsung Galaxy Nexus - Verizon - the weird thing is that is was working for several months just fine - then I installed Trend Micro Mobile Security and the problem started - I uninstalled TMMS, tried different browsers all to no avail - I don't know if my problems are related to the TMMS install or not. I tried switching UA to desktop - no go. I get the ERROR 500 message when I try to log on. I'm not a techie, but I'm kind of stubborn - I'd like to get to the bottom of this - my local IT support is not interested . . .

If there are any new dev on this issue, I'd love to hear.

Thanks,

I have a Samsung Nexus S, browser 4.0.4. Was always able to get my Lotus Notes mail via the browser but it stopped working a few months ago. I can get to the login screen, but after login I get the 500 error. I just installed Android Firefox browser and I can get to my inbox. It isn't easy - I can't zoom - but better than nothing.

I don't have a xoom, but I do have two other android devices with very similar problems with both Lotus Traveler and the Domino webmail. I have a Razr Maxx phone running the stock Gingerbread OS and it has no problem with Traveler or webmail. A few weeks back I flashed a leaked ICS ROM and neither Traveler nor webmail worked. Traveler installed OK and allowed me to log into server, but would not sync messages or calendar or anything else. The webmail would fail with the 500 invalid post error when I tried logging in. After playing around with it for a few days I reverted back to Gingerbread and it all works.

I also have a Kindle Fire that was on CM7 Gingerbread ROM and it had no problems with Lotus webmail. I don't really use it for work and don't want to install Traveler on it, but it was handy being able to get to my work email if I needed to. Then I flashed an ICS ROM and webmail gets the 500 invalid post error when I log in just like the Razr when it was running ICS. Since the KF is primarily for reading books and news, I am sticking with ICS. But it's inconvenient not being able to get to work email.

So in my experience, going to ICS seems to be the thing that breaks webmail. The odd thing is that I'm using the same browser (Dolphin) both before ICS when it worked and after ICS. I have tried other browsers on my KF including Firefox and the stock browser, but none of them work. When I was on GB all browsers worked. What is there about ICS that can change the way data is posted to a web site? Or for that matter the way data is sent by the Traveler app? I wouldn't have thought that the OS version should come into play, and for what it's worth, I haven't seen any problems with any other web sites.

I'm really curious what's going on, especially since rumor has it that Moto/Verizon will start pushing ICS to Razr Maxx some time in the next month, and I fully expect to lose Lotus traveler since it only applies to Lotus app/web site and there are not that many users out there.

Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.

I have the Galaxy S3 and cannot log into mnotes (lotus notes) on it and I get the 500 POST error as well. The Firefox browser app got me to login but it was so unresponsive its not even worth it. Therfore......bump for more assistance.

This has been broken for a long time starting with Honeycomb (3.x.x).
In a Lotus Domino forum hosted by IBM someone posted that, according to IBM, it was supposed to be fixed in Lotus Domino 8.5.3 FP3.
Sadly this is not the case (I've tested using ICS-4.0.3 up to JB-4.2.2).

I never had a problem reading lotus email with the zoom. I used the lotus notes app though. not the webmail. To use the webmail effectively use the Mobile mode. But the app is the best way. At my previous place if employment we used lotus and I was the one that tested the app for setup and implementation.

The only version I never tried it on was JB. It worked in Honeycomb and ICS with zero problems and across around a dozen different Android devices including the zoom. Get the app. You should find it in the app store using lotus notes in the search box.

Last one i used was lotus launcher 2.

Hope this helps.
