Hello,
I have a quick but maybe not so easy question.
I am here at a hotel. I can connect to the hotel free public network. but for some reason i can't see the opeening page of the hotel. They use a redirecting page where you have to fill in the user numerber and password.
With my laptop it is no problem.
So the problem is: I can connect to the wifi network, but i don't see the redirecting page.
Just for the record, at home i've been already on the internet with my HD.

what happens when you turn on the wifi on your hd? does it find the network and can you connect?
I can connect to the network, but if try to reach the internet i won't work.
With my laptop it works.
Opera or IE?
or both?
maybe try putting in the page address that your laptop gets redirected to, directly into the HD?
it happens with both of them.
i also tried the direct ipadress but that didn't work also.
is there some ping or ipconfig option in the HD?
Is the WiFi adapter using "Internet" and not "Work"?
Search for vxIPconfig - software from Cambridge that is useful for IP troubleshooting.
with the tool everything looks ok.
Ip adress 10.59.2.132
subnet mask 255.255.252.0
default gateway 10.59.1.1
DHCP server 10.59.1.1
Primary WINS: blank
Secondary WINS: blank
Lease optained: date, time ->ok
Lease expires: date, time+5min -> ok
everything seems to be all right, don't they.
Did one of u guys already connected to susch a network in a hotel or airport where you first being redirected to a login page?
what did i do wrong?
Same problem
Hi, I have same problem in my work. At my home, I can work with my wifi, everything is perfect,but in my work, we are using redirect to page, where I have to fill my username a pass. Wifi on my work is connected, but no page is displayed.....
Thanks for any solution....
exactly what i mean
Try changing the "User Agent". Look around in the forum how to do that.
Also make sure you have "best performance" selected for wifi.
i just switched it to best performance and now it works!
Just explain how can that be?
'Best performance' basically means that your wifi connection is allowed to use more power. This increases it's functionality (so a wider range, better reception, higher speeds etc.) yet decreases battery life.
I don't know the exact facts concerning battery drain vs. performance, but this is what i've noticed when using the HD.. so it's an educated guess.
When I read the TS I immediatly thought of another thing that might be the solution for problems with wifi business networks: certificates. In order to get my own HD working wireless at work, I had to install something like the 'SecureW2' certificate.
Hello every body
I'm unable to conncet to wifi networks that require web based log in.. did any one face the same issue?
Sorry, haven't had the chance to try web based login yet.
However, I've got another wi-fi question (hope it's OK to post it in this topic):
Is it possible to connect X10 to WPA2-EAP networks? Using a computer, my regular user name and password gets me in without problems. Using X10, I just get "disconnected". The problem might be that there are four different boxes to fill in - two types of user names and two types of passwords. (Sorry, I can't get to the exact names when I'm not nearby that network.) Does anyone know what type of info I should put in each box?

I've tried WPA2 enterprise and I think not all EAP are supported. I tried in an university campus (using eduroam in europe) and cannot connect. It surprises me because HTC Hero (also Andriod 1.6) can connect but it must be a tweak of HTC not standard in android 1.6.
Hi
I have a wifi problem.
If I have wifi "on" and do a reboot, somtimes the wifi is "off" after the reboot.
@ eyeweaver
If you mean things like University networks, they need a proxy server which Android 1.6 doesn't support.
For those experiencing WiFi disconnections, I have found something quite interesting.Please take a look HERE

Hey, I just got my Xperia X10 to work in our university wifi. WPA-EAP PEAP with MSCHAPV2. I used the app Wifi-Config Editor Pro from the market. You don't even need to root your phone. I hope this works on everyone else also. I was so thankful with the developer. This app saved my phone.
If I am at home using my personal router, my wifi works great and I have no problems at all. However, when I am at the library, which is everyday for me, if i try to use their wifi I instantly get this error message that the page cannot be displayed even though my phone claims i am connected to their wifi.
anyone else have this issue? it is extremely annoying and i downloaded wifi fixer but it didnt fix anything.
any ideas?
If it works at home then I doubt it's an issue on your side, sometimes on networks such as school campuses and libraries you have to register your device on the network for it to be able to access the internet. Have you asked the library on how you can do that?
Well it is a public library and they have fliers up that tell you how to use their wifi. I thought it was an issue with my phone so I didn't bother asking a librarian. If no one else has a solution I will definitely be asking tomorrow.

Do they use WiFi proxy? Like a redirect to a webpage that requires you to register your MAC.

they use something similar (this may be exactly what your talking about and I just dont know it by that name) but its where once you are connected to their internet, you go onto your web and a page pops up asking you to accept their terms of use. the prob i have tho is i cant even get onto that page

well, Android has had that issue ever since, and it is still not fixed.
I think Samsung Galaxy S gets around it in the Wi-Fi proxy config (under settings, Wireless and Network, hit the menu button at the bottom of the screen, and go to Advanced), but you need to know the proxy hostname and port (I think the default will be 80 for HTTP requests).
I haven't tested it though.
Here's the issue log from code.google.com
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=1273&colspec=ID Type Status Owner Summary Stars
Mine cannot get on WiFi at the rink I go to. Other people could not get their notebooks or netbooks onto that WiFi as well. My HD2 connects to that WiFi just fine, though.
I don't think it's a Vibrant-specific issue.
I've had a similar problem with the wifi network on my campus. It redirects to a logon page that the vibrant won't even display. Apparently the android browser has an issue with security certificates that aren't configured properly. Froyo is supposed to fix it, but in the mean time try connecting with the firefox browser. I'm able to connect with it, then switch back to the regular browser or any other program. Once you're logged in you're good to go.

Hey everyone,
I've tried all of the tethering apps (usb/wifi) and none seem to give my laptop my legend's 3g data connection. I'm running CM7 (new stable version ) and i've been trying to use the built in hotspot to no avail. I can connect fine, even with WPA2 security, and the laptop connects fine (win7), and even shows full bars on the wifi icon in the bottom right of my taskbar, which says "Internet Access" when my mouse hovers over it.
The problem is, whenever I fire up chrome on my laptop, I get a page that says stuff like "Access denied", "authorization required", "You may need to sign in", and just gives no internet.
At first, I thought that it could be my carrier's fault (SFR France), that they don't want me tethering my phone's connection (I have a contract with unlimited data). The weird thing is, I can actually use gmail on my laptop! Yes, fully load new messages as they come, look through my archived messages, trash, spam, everything. Not even offline messages, it's really connected. So why can I access gmail on my laptop but nothing else? Could it be something to do with https connection to gmail or something like that? My phone's 3g works great, and my laptop has no troubles connecting to my home wifi. I've scoured XDA and google, and never figured it all out.
Anyways, thanks for reading!
Michael
Troubleshooting 101:
- first, please try another laptop.
if the other laptop works, then your current laptop has issues.
My bad, I meant to include in my first post that i've gotten the same result with 3 different laptops.
Have you tried pdanet app? That's what I use and it works wonderfully.

yeah man that was one of the first ones i tried. no go for me, same issue (not connection, but internet access).
When I try to open a page, my phone shows that it starts to download data (with the arrows lighting up and the "H" for HSDPA in the status bar). But then stops and my browser says nope.
tried changing DNS, for instance to googles own (8.8.8.8) on the laptop?

How do I change the DNS on my laptop? Don't I need to use cmd for that?
And an interesting new development. Hopefully someone smarter than me understands this:
I've now tried 4 different sites that fully work! The thing is, they're all https sites, which all the other one i tried weren't. Just to let you know, the 4 confirmed funtional sites are:
gmail
google docs
dropbox
android market (in pc browser version, not on my phone)
So its GOT to have something to do with the https...
Any ideas?
Thanks

CM 7.0 does not require Wifi hotspot software. Check your wireless settings, you just need to turn it on.

He meant you should use the built-in WiFi hot spot in CM7, but you said you already did so in the first post...
about your problem, can you browse http (not https) websites in your phone's browser?

Absolutely. I've not run into any problems viewing any webpage on my phone, http or https, both on 3g and wifi (except for flash not really working, but that's beside the point).

Well, I have Windows XP and I don't have experience with Windows 7, but I remember that since Vista the network connections can be set as Home connection or Public (or something like that).
It's a wild guess but maybe the problem with browsing to HTTP websites has something to do with these network settings in Windows 7...
Try to compare the settings in the Home Wifi connection in your laptop vs the Mobile Wifie connection in your laptop, maybe some settings are different between the two.

Thanks for the suggestion, but unfortunately that doesn't change anything. I definitely know what you're talking about, and everytine I connect to a new wifi network I always select home as the network type, so that my browsing isn't restricted. Hence I did the same here, and even tried the public option, but no effect.

hey there!
did u try the troubleshooting option in windows? did it give u any errors?
did u try wired tethering via your usb-cable?

Yep I tried usb tethering, same deal. Windows troubleshooting "couldn't identify the problem". It's gotta be something either on my carrier's side, my phone's side, or my laptops side that is restricting hotspot access to http sites.
Try to use another browser app.
I ever had this problem on chrome, so i use firefox and it's working now.

Hi,
Firstly I should introduce myself, my name is George, live in Essex and have a passion for cars and gadgets.
I've been roaming this forum since I had my first android device a HTC Hero and try and use search as much as possible rather than repeating other peoples problems but I am properly stuck with this one..
To be short,
Device Details:
Device: Google Nexus 4
Android Version: 4.2.1
Carrier: Orange (EE)
Problem: Portable hotspot is active and I can connect to it from various devices but there is no data pass through.
Solutions tried:
Changing the APN type to every possible solution mentioned (i.e consumer broadband etc)
Using both open and sercured sercurity on the hotspot
Connecting using everything from another phone to my Google Chromebook and all imbetween
I've read there has been mention of Orange blocking this but most people find this isn't the case and its usually fixed via the APN.
The only thing that looks slightly odd is that an ipconfig on my windows machine(s) shows 192.168.xxx.xxx yet the IP address displayed by my Nexus is 10.166.xxx.xxx and if I ping my Nexus's IP from my machine i do get a response.... (all when connected to the hotspot)
Even with a ip release/renew still picks up 192.168
So that is my issue....
I can't think of anything else bar a factory reset which i'd rather not do just yet so thought i'd ask here first I geuinely searched everywhere!
any help would be much appreciated....
Don't mean to bump this but if anyone could offer any advice it would be much appreciated!
Even if someone could just confirm they are using the Orange/EE network with the Nexus 4 and has it working?
Thank you!!
i'm also on orange (EE).
bummer. mine's not working either. i thought it was but i think i was connecting to my router's wifi instead.
i also tried bluetooth tethering but couldn't get that working at all.
A sort of "me too", here: I'm also an Orange (EE) customer who can't get WiFi (or Bluetooth) tethering to work. However, USB tethering works fine - just appears to install a RNDIS virtual Ethernet adapter, and then just works.
Using Wireshark, I noticed that DNS lookups (which use the phone as a DNS server/ proxy) actually work. However, SYNs for connections to hosts on the Internet go unanswered. I'm beginning to suspect that the phone just isn't forwarding packets from the WiFi interface to the cell interface (but no idea why)
As a sort of aside: I'm pretty sure this used to work on my Motorola Atrix via Orange.
Having the exact same problem, running CM10.1.
Have messed around with APN settings but does nothing, laptop connects phone and even shows as having internet access but trying to visit any site just times out.
I have tried the exact same hotspot configuration with a giffgaff (O2) sim card and it works fine, so it must be Orange!
