Hi I recently was given a second hand mobile fone a Samsung Galaxy s1910 it's a great little fone the only 2 issues I have are that 1 when charging it from either a amazon mains charger or from an onn 5000mAh portable power bank it charges to about 92% then on the mains charger it will briefly stop charging then restart multiple times till it gets to around 97% then it stops and refuses to charge any further with the onn power bank it gets to around the same sort of level then stops and I have to manually start it charging again. However when using a signalex power bank it goes to full charge does anyone know why this is happening? When I got the fone I bought it a new battery so it's not that it's not a thermal thing because as an experiment I put the fone on a cool table top just in case it was a thermal issue. The second issue is it won't let me access this forum or the vintage radio forum it says a secure connection couldn't be established whatever that means however I can get into this site via eMail notifications this a minor irritation but the charge thing irritates and concerns me hope someone knows the answer!
There seems to be two types of sites and you can check the details in the address box... one is called 'http' and the other is 'https' the later being more secure and you may need to have 'administer' rights to access this type of site as it is what it's states on the tin... more secure, 's'.
http and https are two different "transport" mechanisms for communicating with a web site - as Tom say the "s" version is more secure as communication between your browser and the site is encrypted (usually using a secure sockets layer (SSL)). All good sites these days should offer the option of communicating using https (instead of or as well as http) to users in general - it would be very odd to restrict https access to administrators. The encryption system (e.g. SSL) often undergoes updates and changes to keep it secure - so it might be that your system is a little out of date and can't cope with stronger encryption that some sites might now insist on. (A lot of older smart TVs stopped being able to play YouTube videos when YouTube insisted on forcing everyone to use https.)
