Layout would have to be customized to phones, but login/logout shouldn't have anything to do with the device -- more likely it's cookie issues which can prevent logins from any device. Though there are certain errors which some browsers will forgive and others won't.
Presumably there are many different mobile phone web browsers, but most of them should be webkit, mozilla or opera. Android uses a webkit-based browser, so it should behave like safari or konqueror.
My only mobile device is a Nokia 770 -- which isn't a phone, it's an internet tablet with a 4.1" screen. It uses Opera 8 and works perfectly.
You're sure that you can login to other sites? Meaning, you don't have cookies off.
I use javascript that detects a mobile phone browser and redirects phone users to a seperate set of templates that are much more simple in design. Login works fine for me.

I was trying to log into my site via my cellphone browser (Android - recent update) and after logging in, I was immediately logged back out.
I suppose at some point it would be nice to use the site from a mobile platform but at this point it's impossible (logged in anyway).
Has anyone else experienced this on a mobile cell phone browser? Wondering if it's localized to Android.
TIA

Yep, I log in via my phone to twitter, facebook, etc with no issues all the time.
It logs in and then the page refreshes on it's own logging me out. Weird.

Do you have redirect bypassing on? That always randomly kills stuff.

It has nothing to do with SEO. It's an option on the Admin Panel -> Settings -> General -> "bypass redirect pages where possible?"
I don't know what SEO option you could be mistaking it for.
Anyhow, the bypassing could conceivably mess up a cookie somehow though I haven't seen it actually do so. Are you using it?
