Cannot access any Microsoft web pages

[Adam Fox2]

I just got this Lumia 520 and set it all up to use....but right now i'm already regretting it!! I cannot access any Microsoft pages...not hotmail.com, no OneDrive, the email app works, but I can't install the WP 8.1 certificate from there for some reason.....WTF?

could you please rephrase your problem in more polite and coherent words ? Thanks ! People are more likely to help to polite requests. Besides, it is not very clear, the problem you're facing so please explain it a little better.

Do you have a Microsoft account?

@Hope4WP; Certificate for installing WP 8.1, i know there is a separate thread for this, but its just one of my problems. I have posted on that thread too

@Saksham Sharma; I am having problems accessing sites that deal with Microsoft. I can use the Email app for my hotmail account, but if I try to go to hotmail.com on the web browser, it just sits at a white screen. This also happens when I try to sign into OneDrive (either the site or the app, just a white screen). I'm also trying to install the Windows Phone 8.1 Dev Preview on here and I need to be able to install a certificate but since I can't log-in to any of the microsoft sites, I can't do that.

Do you have a Microsoft account?

Yes I do

 

[hope4wp]

do a soft reset....and is your Internet connection working?

 

[Adam Fox2]

I have reset the phone twice now.....and other sites load, so internet is working

 

[hope4wp]

tried hard reset?

Okay...I think I have this figured out.......Date and Time was off.......so much for AUTOMATIC.....its at 10% on the download.....*crosses fingers*

oh yes, that's a big issue always. It gave me the impression once that my phone had crapped up. Have been there ! I wasn't seeing entries in call logs, wasn't seeing sms in the hub, wasn't able to access many site... Yes its the date. Guys, to everyone here, if ever your phone behaves weirdly, always check the date first, it is the culprit behind many problems.

Strange thing is, it was only blocking MICROSOFT things....I could come on here but not load Hotmail. I could load other things but just not Microsoft

that could be happening because the MS services might be having security certificates, which would appear invalid is the date was too off. Others might not be having certificates, or may have certificates which, incidentally were valid even on the date which was set by default.
