Way to login to iCloud from Android Phone?

Most of pages that are not shown right or dont work at all, might be working when you change your browser to "desktop view". Native Android browser do that well mostly, but it doesnt contain e.g. flash like dolphin browser hd or some other have.

But I dont understand why you cant put "desktop view" as a default in your browser. Im using some pages regularly which works well only when viewing them on a desktop view, and mostly i check the box from settings immediately when I open the browser. Why cant I put it as a default!? Is it really necessary that I have to change that setting on everytime!?
 
Sadly google latitiude has been retired.

And dolphon and chrome work for me. I can see the iCloud page now by requesting a desktop site in chrome and with desktop mode extension turned on in dolphin. But its too slow. When I click on find my phone nothing happens. I get the map but its all greyed out.

If you goto google play store and search for "iCloud" or "findiphoneonandroid" a plugin shows up for 1 dollar and 69 cents called "FindiPhoneOnAbdroid". Haven't tried it yet but it claims to work.
 
I found the answer. Goto play store and search for "icloud" or "findiphoneonandroid". It cost 1.69 cents but worth it. My slow alactel one touch evolve 3g with 1ghz single core cpu doesn't load dolphin or chrome in desktop mode. I mean it all works great. Not painfully slow. I'm just talking about the icloud. Never loads. I see the map but never get the green dot. This program totally works. Now I can see where my parents are if there are any emergencies. Or if they loose their iphone we can track it. This program toally works and is well worth the dollar 69.

I just found a neat trick. Using the Samsung native browser, type in the url "icloud.com" and once the site gives you the "unable to log in error", change under select settings to Desktop View and the site will refresh. Bookmark the site and then select under settings "add shortcut". The iCloud link will added as a screen shortcut and once you log back in, you simply need to select Desktop View again and viola, it works just fine!

Thanks. This is actually what I did with my Samsung Galaxy S4 (SG4).
 
The work I do dictates I use the desktop version of web pages, I've found after trying lots of browsers that Dolphin is the fastest, most stable and generally the best. Combined with the spacious 5.7" Note 3 display, it's a great solution for all those times my smartphone is faster to use than getting out my laptop when I only have 20 minutes or so.
 
I got it.
Just download Firefox latest version.
Open the icloud.com and request desktop site.
It's not zoom or snapped like chrome.
It worked for me.
 
I think you can track then down through phone number. But, if not, can't you get find my iPhone on your Android phone?
 
You can open it using chrome also..just click options "request desktop site"..and then go to accessibility and make text scaling as 50...
 
Is this app can track my iCloud friends location (Find My Friends on iOS), or just track my iOS devices' location (Find My iPhone on iOS)?
I'm looking for app which let me track my iCloud friends location. Tracking with using browser is a solution (in desktop mode of that browser) but it's really slow and not responsive if it isn't 50%. So I'm looking for app for it
