iPhone cookies problem

Raymond Lin · 20 Apr 2008 at 00:02

my iPhone for some reason doesn't seem to remember cookies in safari for the forums. Using GPRS, I seem to have to log in every few minutes. Is there anyway to fix this?

Ive got the same problem now, but im using WiFi.

Since I restored mine Ive been having to log into forums etc when ive closed Safari.

No idea why its doing it.

I used ziphone, funny that my itouch have no such problem, but that's never been jailbreak.

No problems here with the forums (pwned phone). I do have a problem with another site though that can't seem to store it's authentication cookie so boots me out every time.

I'm having no problems at all with my pwned iPhone. Have u tried doing a restore, that normally sorts things out.

No probs with Ziphoned 1.1.4.

There's a fix available for this, it's down to the owner of the cookies file being incorrect. I'm not quite sure why it doesn't cause problems for everyone though.

If you add http://appledailytimes.com/installer to your sources you can get the fix from there.

tsinc80697 · 20 Apr 2008 at 16:29

Yeah the fix works for me

Wrong thread

Raymond Lin · 20 Apr 2008 at 20:08

What is the fix call in the installer? Thanks

i am being dumb, how exactly does one add all those programming text into the iphone? And what "sources" are you referring to?

2Thumbs · 21 Apr 2008 at 00:47

Go to installer from the home screen.

Go to 'sources' on the bottom right.

Press 'edit' on the top right, press 'add' on the top left.

Then it'll pop up with a box for adding a weblink, add the above, click ok and it'll refresh the resources. (all this has to be done with internet on ofcourse)

Go to the Apple Daily Times secion in 'install' and it'll be in there.

HTH.

From the question you asked in the sprawling iPhone thread:

Does anyone know why safari doesn't remember my login details for forums? Its like the cookies are not working

Try this:

SSH into the phone, run these commands:

chown mobile:wheel /var/mobile/Library/Cookies
chown mobile:mobile /var/mobile/Library/Cookies/Cookies.plist
chmod 755 /var/mobile/Library/Cookies
chmod 644 /var/mobile/Library/Cookies/Cookies.plist

Restart phone, and see if it's worked.

edit - Works for me, just restarted the phone and the forum was still logged in as me.

That's what the fix does but without the typing

Aye, I had to resort to that because after I added the Japanese Repository and ran the install script - I got an error. Figured it would be the same across all 1.1.4 jailbroken phones so posted up the guts.

Raymond Lin · 21 Apr 2008 at 09:08

Thanks for Beepcake's link and 2Thumbs's guide, it worked
