If I try to go to the login screen on this website (http://www.alldatapro.com/includes/main.jsp) I return an error in android, however the page loads on a standard desktop. Any ideas on a fix? Maybe a proxy issue?

Try using another browser. I use Opera Mini 5 and have no issues on log in sites like I do with the Android browser
agreed. sometimes the android browser will either bring up and error, or just send me back to the login page. Try Opera
Opera mini does open the site. But it would be nice to use the native app. Where is proxy info stored for the browser? I have a feeling that is the hold up

Before I begin some information on the phone that might help...
The phone was bought through TELUS and of course is unlocked, it is running Stock Android 2.3.4. It is rooted (though the issue was the same when it wasn't) and it seems to be the same problem on Opera 10 as well as the default browser.
The Problem is whenever I attempt to login to a webiste on either the default browser or Opera 10, it does some sort of various issue ultimately failing to login. Over Wi-Fi this does not happen at all, but on the 3G connection with TELUS, It refuses to logon to any website.
Things Tried-
-Clearing all history cache browsing data etc.
-Restarting
-Opera browser
Have you tried fixing permissions through recovery.
I use the dolphin browser, but sometimes i get certificate not verified when trying to go to Sprint and a few other sites. But it doesn't not allow me to log in.
Have you checked browser settings to allow cookies and the others to see what they are set at.

Yes, I have tried all of those as well as the in browser settings and still no luck.
I'm travelling with my NST, and I have not been able to connect to hotel/conference site wifi that requires authentication --- as in you first connect to a wifi network that has no password, but when you go to a webpage the browser first takes to you a login page where you enter your ID/password. Opera mini on the NST simply refuses to go that login page, even after I explicitly type in the URL of that page (the "wheel" keeps spinning).
I have another android device (a samsung galaxy player, rooted but otherwise running samsung stock 2.2) and I have no problem connecting. Any help and suggestion is most welcome!
Try using Opera Mobile. Opera Mini cannot access local hosts; when you browse with Mini, all the data is compressed by Opera's servers first. If you have mobile but it doesn't work, try re-installing it.

That's the perfect solution (and good thing I have the opera mobile apk in my backup folder!). THANKS!
Hi, when trying to connect to free wifi, one frequently has to enter info on a website. However, in many of those cases my NSTG redirects me automatically using the built-in browser rather than my Opera mobile. Sometimes that causes issues (unresponsive browser etc). How can I define what browser is being used when my nook redirects to a website for connecting to the Internet?
Thanks!

You can always just delete Browser.apk.
That works fine for me.
I forget if it redirects automatically.
Still, just go to Google or something in your favorite browser and it will display the "Accept" screen.
Deleting browser.apk seems to make things worse. Again, when I am redirected to a login page (NST does this automatically when in Settings/wireless for some providers) it fails....because it does not find browser.apk anymore.
I tried to rename the opera mobile apk to browser.apk, but I could not find the opera mobile apk in the system/app folder....

You wouldn't find Opera Mobile in /system/app, it's not a system app.
You'd find it in /data/app, because it's a regular user app.
Not that renaming anything would help, that's not how Android finds things.
I don't have a login access point here to check anything out,
although it seems to work fine when I visit locations with logins.
I looked into how this works.
The Nook tries to access http://amifree.barnesandnoble.com/bnhello.html
That URL should just echo back "You have successfully reached the internet!"
It uses the built-in WebKit functionality.
This seems a waste for a number of reasons, including that you might have your Nook connected to a WiFi but not the internet.
In any case, I still don't understand what happens to you when you click on an Access point to connect.
If you have to, you enter the password for the WPA or whatever.
Then you open your browser of choice, go to any site and if you are going to be directed, you'll be redirected then.
Reminder to self: Patch or get rid of the B&N web access.
Thanks Renate. So that is how it works:
Since there is no user accessible browser on non rooted NST devices, the device connects and immediately checks the website you list below (saying "testing..." while checking).
If the receiver requires a redirect (for instance to accept certain terms), the hidden browser will be
invoked. Unfortunately that fails if browser.apk is deleted or the browser cannot handle the content on that site and one cannot connect to the internet
Best would be to disable the check so that can be done manually on the browser of choice for rooted devices.

Yes, it would fail at displaying the redirect page.
Are you saying that at that point it actually disconnects the WiFi?
Does the little signal thingie on the status bar disappear?
What happens when you just go to your regular browser and go to any website?
On mine, at that point I get the redirect screen I would have gotten originally.
Yes, the signal bars disappear (and I am no longer connected)...

Well, in that case, I'd patch Settings.apk to not do the online check.
In any case, I'm still at a loss to understand, because WebKit is part of the core, not an application and the login page will always be displayed in Settings.
How can I patch Settings.apk?
>> login page will always be displayed in Settings
The page is being displayed, but in some cases the browser used (browser.apk) cannot handle the content of the redirected website and I cannot login (not sure if that answers your questions though....).
To public WiFi like in Walmart I'm a able to connect to it but then I get this message on my browser when trying to search for something?
I tried turning it off and on but still have the same problem. My brothers were able to connect and browse just fine.

Does it work in Chrome?
The wifi is trying to redirect your phone to the signin page, but your browser sees it as a security problem and blocks it. There are a number of potential solutions to try. If you google for something like "open wifi popup can't connect" and similar to that, more will come up.
--Try temporarily disabling popups in Opera and get it to work.
--Clear the cache for Opera.
--For alternate browsers, try searching for something in Chrome and see if it redirects to the login page for you. Using Dolphin set to "Desktop" (vs. Mobile) may also work.
--Alternatively, when the login page comes up for your brothers, make a note of it and type it into Opera.
First post:
N7 2013 Android version 5.0.2 I can connect with their, any shops, wifi network but can't get to a log-in screen to accept their terms and "go" online. Using Firefox & Yahoo mail. Starbucks, McDonald, ect.
Is there an app or something that would "ask" for that page? There must be something simple I am missing....
Open to all suggestions!
Thanks for your help! Glenn
I have this issue on all my devices. I have installed a copy of opera and usually have to either close all the tabs in chrome, then reopen chrome and try to go to some general site. If that does not work i open opera and see if that browser catches the login.
Gotten much worst since 1.1.1.1 became a dns address as many portals use the same address...

Thank you for your response. This is a real pain in the... I can't believe this isn't an issue for ANYone using a Nexus7. And more disturbing is that there isn't a fix or app us. I mean isn't having a tablet for the portability and ease of remote access???
I love my N7 and it does everything I need Except logging into the net at coffee shops. Help!!!
