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.

No good, same results.
We have a vibrant and a captivate.. When connected via wifi at home, the market and gmail will not connect, but both phones access the internet just fine otherwise.. They connect fine to the market and gmail using 2G or 3G, or other wifi networks..
Can anyone let me know what settings I might adjust on the router to allow connections to gmail or the market on these phones?
Strange thing is I have exactly the same problem, but this only started yesterday. The days before I was able to download several apps via market over wifi, but as of yesterday I can not even see the home screen when on wifi, no problems when on 3G. Tried opening port 5228 TCP and UDP as suggested in an older thread, but that did not work. Something changed at Google?
Update: problem went away by itself 2 days later.
I9000 stock 2.3.3
We have 3 android phones- all with the same problem.. Router is a Netgear WNR2000v3.
Edit-Reset router and the problem continues...
Check the firewall router
There is no firewall A's far A's I know. Just a wireless DSL and a router, and I have not configured any firewall...I reset the router to factory settings and it still won't work....

Try some other wifi area. Is the problem same or not. Maybe it's good to delete APN from settings and let it configure again.
have you tried paying you're cable bill?
seriously.. the phones all connect via other wifi networks just fine. They connect to this router just fine as well.. All internet connectivity is great except anything to do with google's apps.. youtube, maps, gmail, market.. none will work, but google.com on the browser works fine.
I had this problem 2 days ago. I have searched the web a lot for this problem. Now I found 3 solutions that you may wanna try.
1. Clear cache and reset to factory. Don't skip the sign in on google account. Sign in immediately! (had not worked for me though!)
2. Check your firewall settings. Especially, I used my laptop as a hotspot source with virtual wifi router(ht_tp://ww_w.virtualwifirouter.com/). I have tried connectify and virtual router, but they had problems on my laptop, while VWR is simple and effective! (I still couldn't connect to market and youtube at that moment though! Very very frustrated!)
3. I read someone said he tried to set the parameters of his mobile network manually, and it worked for him. I didn't expect much on this method but did give it a try. OMG! It worked! What's worth to notice is that I found that the instruction provided on my operator's website (Orange.fr) is actually a little bit different from the settings the phone automatically loaded.
3.
Hope it works for you guys!
I had same problem but reset of router helped...
You know what, I think it's the operator or google's dirty trick. For no obvious reason, I am blocked out of market again with wifi. I can surf on porn sites with wifi but no luck on market and google's stuff!

One more thing to add: Use static IP address for your wifi connection! Mine was not stable with automatic address!

Try to forward the ports needed for google, 5228 i think, that helped my cappy a little bit, try clearing all your networks, see if that helps. Google around for captivate wifi problems, hundreds of threads with lots of solutions.

I did try forwarded the ports for one of the phone, problem is there are three.. And port forwarding didn't work, neither did resetting the router, or resetting it to defaults, and they all had a static ip...Still no good..
If familiar with wireshark, try setting up on a computer, connecting to market with phone and see what u get. Maybe packets being blocked, hard to say.
Hello,
Is anyone else having this problem? When I tether the Internet connection off my phone (wifi tethering) my browser and rom manager's Internet connection work fine, but Gapps, the market, Dropbox and several other apps will not connect to the Internet... Does anyone know the cause of this?
Did you enable "restrict background data"? I know Play Store doesn't work for me when I restrict that.
Otherwise everything works fine tethered to my Galaxy Nexus.

I did not unless it does this by default... I'm tethering 3G, not 4g... Could it just be my 3G isn't strong enough signal?
This Q&A thread is ridiculous! You ask a question and your post is bounced back 3 pages before u can get a response! And do Devs even cruise this thread looking to answer questions? It's all just fellow average users! BUMP

I can't really answer your question, but I have ( or had) a similar issue. ( Plus it will bump the thread up As you know, WiFi tethering will rape your phones battery. My HTC Wildfire S battery sucks ass to begin with, so its a must it is plugged in if I'm going to tether for more than 15 mins. I tried an app called FoxFi, because it's got rave reviews and it has Bluetooth tethering...and compared to WiFi tether, BT tethering uses hardly any battery. Well, I could save over 50℅ battery by using BT tether, and I was so excited. Until I tried to use ANYTHING BUT the web browser. Internet was fine, but everything else just stated "no network connection". No Google Now, no Asphalt 7, and no YouTube. What a let down. Maybe I'll look into it tonight and let you know if I find anything. The battery savings are worth me looking into it.
Much appreciated! I'm hearing that people with 4g phones aren't getting this issue... Perhaps the connection just isn't enough for the market and Gapps? I actually kind of doubt this because browsing is very snappy and I've been able to download large files with relatively good speed
Hi,
I am using this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2537932
WIFI tethering works, flawlessly. But can't get USB Tethering to work.
I have installed the drivers, and when I connect my phone Device manager doesn't show up any unknown devices.
But as soon as I turn on USB Tethering I get a Nexus 4 with exclamation mark.
Damn it
Well, i have the same damned issue even on stock rom..no one knows how to fix it..prolly the only salvation is to downgrade from 4.4.2 to either 4.4 or earlier version..
All forms of Tethering work for me (on T-Mobile in the US), but with a rather large catch: only sites that use SSL (HTTPS). If I want to take a look at non-secure sites, like XDA, I have to connect to my home VPN. No VPN, no HTTP, only HTTPS. It's very odd, but the the behavior makes me think T-Mobile is probably blocking it. It will send the HTTP request out, resolve the host, but then stall on "waiting for [name of site]." I don't get a redirect page or anything, just nothing non-secure when I'm not on the VPN. I'm on T-Mobile's $30/month 100 minutes, unlimited text and data plan.
---
There's also a chance it might be related to the Android 4.4.2 tethering bug, as when I'm connected to the VPN, it doesn't rely on Android to process HTTP requests.
