When I am in a place that has free wifi, the iPhone used to open up safari to the web page that would allow me to accept the terms and conditions. This phone doesn't do that. I was at the casino this weekend and my wifi kept saying I was connected but with no internet. Wouldnt take me to the log in page. The iPhone would do it automatically.
Any ideas?

Happened to me one or two times on my old htc one when it automatically connected to public wifi. I manually reconnected to wifi and it brought up the terms and conditions page. Havent you tried to launch a web browser? It should have loaded the terms and conditions page first im sure!
The sign in window should normally pop up, I've seen it on my G6.
If it doesn't happen automatically I suspect the open wifi channel isn't configured correctly. Usually you can force the sign in window by turning off mobile data and then trying to load a page in your web browser and you should be redirected.

What's up guys? I have a problem. Here at school we can connect to the public wifi and what happens is that when u open the browser it directs u to a clean access software where u log in then u have interner access. This worked fine on my iphone but the x10 sometimes when I open the browser the page wouldn't even load and sometimes I can log in but then it doesn't work after I log in. What's wrong here? Do I have to register the MAC address with the school?
Might sound like a basic solution, but have you tried from a different browser? (i.e. Opera Mini or SkyFire)
It works fine for me. I have it set to automatically connect to my school network when in range. And all I have to do then is open up my browser and just type in any random website, and it redirects me to the school site automatically, where I can log in. And then I'm set to go. Occasionally though it does stop working, like maybe after 10-15 mins... I found it disconnects when your screen turns off. There's an option to keep you wifi always on.. I think the default is set to "turn off when screen is off" so it disconnects then. If you want to change that setting, go to settings and then wifi and manage connections I think it was, and then press the menu button on the phone and the setting for wifi come up and you can select wifi to always remain on.
Hope this helped.
thanx for the replies guy i will try a different browser when i go to school and see if this works and will reply
I've searched several forums for this problem with no luck. It seems this is not specific to the Droid X but many Android devices with some posts 2 years old. I figured this was a good place to start. Surely it's been solved by now.
I've been trying to connect to our guest wifi network at the hospital where I work. The X says connected and gives me a good signal. When I try to open the browser it doesn't give me the screen where I agree to the terms to get access. It attempts to send me to http s: //1.1.1.1... but the page never loads and instead gives an error about the lack of connection.
The network is open but the SSID is hidden. I have setup a new wifi connection with 'guest' and it sees the network. I can briefly see Citrix popup on the browser address bar before it sends me to the failure screen. I have turned off the popup blocker and tried the default browser, Dolphin, Skyfire, and XScope. I've also tried Open Wifi Login but since all I need to do is click this crazy button it doesn't work. The security certificate box is unchecked in settings and I've tried changing the browsers to desktop and even iphone. I do not have access to the router itself. I can connect to my secure wifi at home with no problem.
Sorry for dragging this out but I wanted to give as much info as possible. I've seen posts various places about this but never a solution. The worst part is a friend of mine has a new iphone and it brings the confirmation screen up and he's in immediately. Of course I've harassed the crap out of him about my huge screen, etc so he's really loving this. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Not sure, but the first weekend after the phone came out I was at a hotel in AL for a wedding and was able to connect to a guest access. The droid told me it found a wireless network, I connected and opened the browser and it took me to a page where I had to click 1 day access. All I can say is try getting a laptop or another phone and see if you see the address it goes to and email the link to yourself and try to connect that way.

i'm not sure if it's a common problem (did search, but couldn't find any posts on this problem)
when i'm home and connected to my home internet through wifi, i have no trouble browsing the web and stuff..
but when i'm at work and try to connect to work wifi (even though i have that wep or ssid and etc. stuff) or when i'm at a restaurant trying to connect to their free wifi, it doesn't work!
it SAYS it's CONNECTED..
but when i click the browser, it will take a really long time and then it won't load any pages .. only the page that says check your connection..
is this because i have a generic uk firmware (x10i) on a x10a phone??
how can i fix this issue?
This may be completely wrong but I have noticed some public wifi spots require u to accept some terms. The browser would hang the same way u described. To fix it I would put my phone on airplane mode for a minute or power cycle and the when I would connect to the network I quickly open the browser and the acceptance page pops up.
Its all gravy after that. Hope it helps
yeah i think that's the problem too!
bcuz one time.. i went to the restaurant.. it wouldn't load any pages..
and then i came home and when i opened the browser (that said the page couldn't be loaded) and i refreshed, it gave me the restaurant's terms of use page..
so how does this 'power cycle' thing work?? can u tell me step by step what i'm supposed to do?
like.. after i connect to the restaurant wifi, do i quickly put it on airplane mode?
or try to load the browser and then put it on airplane mode? i'm quite confused...
Uk mcdonalds started doing

Sorry dude I realize I was being vague.
Power cycle means turning the phone off and on.
Step 1. Put your phone on airplane mode or power cycle.
Step 2. Turn wifi back on and connect to the desired network.
Step 3. Quickly open the browser after connecting. If the page hangs, refresh it.
Step 4. Accept the wifi terms of use.
Step 5. Use as much data as possible. Get those torrents downloaded!
Hi!
I've update my I9505 to Stock 4.3, with root. I've a problem. I use semi-protected WiFI (like at University) that works as follows : the network is technically open to everyone, free, but for navigate\download\anything, you need to open your browser and enter your credentials.
Android 4.2.2 on my I9505 connected automatically to this network, so I opened a browser and put my credentials.
Since I upgraded to 4.3, my phone connects to the network, then disconnects after a few seconds saying that you must authenticate yourself, then I have to enter settings (making it pointless to activate the wifi with the toggle in the notification bar), i've to reconnect to the network manually, wait about 10 \ 15 seconds, then I can open the stock browser and connect from there (I have to connect when it says so). This even though I do not use the toggle, when I activate the wifi in the settings, it connects, disconnects, and I have to reconnect again.
Now, every time I connect I lose a minute when in fact it took a few seconds before, there is no way to return to the previous behavior? Even with root solution. To read an e-mail I have to wait a minute for the connection...
thanks
Edit: sorry, maybe I had to put this thread on Q&A section, but now I can't move...

Yeah I hate it, the same thing happens on the London Underground wifi. It used to just connect then have the notification telling you you had to log in, which you could then click on. What makes it extra doubly annoying, is that the Underground wifi actually does work for everything apart from HTTP traffic before signing in, so you could just not sign in the whole journey and still get email/whatsapp, but not webpages or facebook etc. Now that it disconnects you I don't get anything till I manually connect it.

To get back to the old behaviour go into Settings->Connections->Wifi - > MENU button ->Advanced and disable "auto network switch"
I found I had to do this to get such networks to work ok, otherwise the wifi network was deactivated

ya that was the first thing I checked, it was already off.
I am also facing this problem. Till now no solution. The "Auto Network Switch" seems to be valid for Mobile Data only...
Since the MM update (stock verizon, no root) my wife's phone cannot connect to wifi networks that have a redirect to a login screen like you see in hotels and unfortunately her work network. At first I suspected an issue with chrome so I had her clear the cache for chrome which works for exactly one login. Tried different browsers and the problem persists. I sat with the phone at a restaurant last night and after 5-10 minutes of trying to connect I finally got it to work but three different browsers and cache clearing is clearly not how this is supposed to work. Is anyone else having problems like this and has anyone found a solution? I'm about ready to throw the phone away. Also for what it's worth rooting/romming not an option on this phone due to her work software.
Some additional info, on her work network when the login attempts to redirect she gets the errror: NET::ERR_CERT_COMMON_NAME_INVALID. When I was trying to get it to log in on a public network that had a redirect login page all I got was a page not available message in whichever browser I tried.
