Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/jberkel/sms-backup-plus/issues/236

I switched phones recently and I downloaded the app to reconnect my text messages to my new phone. However, whenever I try to grant the app access to my gmail, if I tap on "Grant access" it does nothing but go right back to the same grant or deny access screen. How do I fix this?

Same issue here on ICS running HTC Vivid

My previous message:
Hey for ICS on Vivid, have any idea why it won't allow clicking grant or deny access?
When you click either it just refreshes the page instead of doing the process for granting access

I am using SMS Backup+ for the first time on my HTC myTouch 4G Slide with Android OS 2.3. I am having the same issue described above trying to tie my SMS Backup+ app installation to my Gmail account.

T-Mobile HTC One S. My account does not hook up to Gmail. It takes me to the Google accept page but it just keeps reloading.

I had the same issue with an HTC device. After a few weeks of consternation that included everything I could think of to resolve the issue, I thought it might be the webpage. Changing the default browser resolved this for me.

Settings Menu -> Applications -> App Associations -> Web URLs
I changed the default browser to a different one, and everything was fine. I used Opera Mini, but I suspect anything but the HTC default browser would resolve this.

Wow that worked! I used firefox (won't continue using as it is slow) and I'm backing up my texts as I type this.

Thanks cprrat

Same issue on the HTC One S ... opening in Firefox fixed the issue for me. Must be an issue with the HTC Sense browser!

This issue should be closed. It looks like a browser specific issue.

Had the same problem with HTC Inspire (AT&T). Tried the browser change thing with Firefox and it worked just fine. Uninstalling Firefox however, it is too slow.
