Web-Based Authentication - Help Plz

I took my G1 to school today and tried to connect to the WiFi there. It is an open network, but it requires you to login using your school account via a website. Usually, when I connect with my laptop and open my browser, I get automatically redirected to the login page.
With my G1, the browser can't load a single page. It says connected to the network, but I have no actual internet access, and can't get to that login page.
Any idea how I can get around this?
Thanks

I have the same issue at my work. I have a captive portal that does not seem to redirect properly on the G1. Other phones seem to like it just fine. My work around is to add my mac to the auth bypass, but this only works because I am the actual admin for the wireless network.

try finding the address your laptop connects to and bookmarking it on the G1 and see if it lets you pull it up that way.

As I am pretty certain entering the redirect URL won't work (though I am trying it tonight) is there ANYTHING else anyone can think of changing or looking at? I had the same issue on my old Nokia N80, but only recently.

As predicted, the URL method did not work. Tried many variations and still no luck. Any further thought on this, or if the G1 will ever support Enterprise authentication?

I have the same issue in our Enterprise captive portal using different Android moldes ( Samsung Galaxy S 2 and mini ), can not get the login page, but works fine with an iPhone.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Note WiFi Problem

Hello all, a quick question here.
I've done a search on this issue and didn't seem to find any match.
I run a stock off the shelf Note, no modifications. It connects, without any problem, with my home wifi. On many occasions now, when I'm in public place with open WiFi, I run quick tests to see if it connects. It does and says CONNECTED with a good speed. I check if it's really connected by refreshing my weather report and I try the ESPN Score app. EVERY TIME it says that it can't connect to the respective servers. So I'm actually NOT CONNECTED at all? I'll disconnect and reconnect several times and it gives me good connection speeds, but I'm still off air.
When I get home, I hit the WiFi, and in a couple seconds I'm connected with working apps.
I've tried everything and just have no idea what's blocking connections away from my house?
I run both Lookout and AVG on my phone and haven't found any settings from them that might be the reason for the blocking?
Any ideas?
Thanks.

In my experience most public WiFi spots require you to log in through the browser to set up the connection. It is there, but until you log in, nothing but their page is accessible.
All they want is your email and to show some ads, so it normally fine to do.

Usually when you open a browser or website, it should load up a "LOGIN" screen for you to enter a username or password.
It also depends where you are, most libraries and hospitals will give you access to free Wi-Fi without a login. In coffee shops or an office building, you will need a login.

Thanks for your input!
I'm embarrassed to say that I actually never tried opening the browser, I just kept trying to make the apps. and widgets connect.
I will definitely give that a try next time I'm out. I really have no desire to use the public open WiFi's because of the threat of being hijacked or spied on by some random coffee drinking hacker, I just wanted to make sure all my phone functions work properly.
Thanks again!

many open spots lock down different ports to stop people using loads of bandwidth

if it gets connected with 1 wifi then it should with others, no problem with the system.

All public wifi spots I use will connect but do nothing until I load the browser and agree to their terms of service etc.

[Q] cannot connect to wifi anymore

A few days ago I ran into a problem. My wifi wasn't connected when I turned on my tab 8.9. When I try to connect to my own network, and get into the settings page, the option 'ok' is greyed out. This means that I can only 'cancel', and in that way not connect to my own network anymore. The same thing happens when I try to connect to another network. My device is not rooted, running 3.2, and it is running the most recent firmware. Restarting the device didn't solve it. Any thoughts on this one?

Bump, same problem, or at least similar.
Android Version 3.2
Kernal Version 2.6.36.3 ([email protected] #1)
Build Number HTJ85B
Wireless works on some networks and not others. B G N do not matter, it is random. Still running stock ROM, not rooted. I have tried reseting OS, no luck.
What it does it it finds the network, tries to connect to the network, fails, remembers the network, and the cycle starts over.

Hi guys,
do you get the 'Obtaining IP address' message when connecting? mine does that constantly on some networks, it gets stuck in a loop and simply will not connect. I've found out that this is due to the tab remembering an IP address it used to use and trying to re-use it every time it connects. That is of course not always possible and so it tries - fails - tries etc.
The way to fix this apparently is to delete the dhcp_list file which holds the remembered IP addresses, only issue is that I cannot find that file anywhere. I'm running AOSP Galaxian Soup on mine with motley kernel, my home wifi works ok (probably because the same IP address is available all the time), work wifi doesn't want to work at all.
Maybe one of the devs sees this and can shed a bit more light on whether the solution is correct or not.
Regards,
dsc.

I was eventually able to solve this in a very easy way. for one reason or another the tab only wanted to log in when the password contained a capital, so I changed the WPA preshared key to something that contained a capital and a number and it was working again. very strange, because it had been working perfectly for about two months before this problem occurred. hope this helps.

Hi,
I managed to fix it by selecting static IP. I've seen this suggested a couple of times but when using the tablet in horizontal position I could see the static/dynami selection. Turns out you have to rotate the table to vertical position to see it.
Regards,
dsc.

Thanks for the discussion. my main problem is that i can't set a static at my work network. it will work at home, but i NEED it to work at both, otherwise it does me no good. I will keep banging my head against.
I will check back to see if smarter people come up with a solution, and if i come up with somthing i will post.

This is my problem exactly.

Hi,
not sure if you've seen this (I think the original solution comes from here anyway):
[tried posting an url but it was blocked, try googling:
'Tab cannot get IP address for WiFi problem + recs'
and scroll down to zakaria's post]
Some people suggest trying static, even if it fails it might delete the previously stored IP address that the Tab is trying to connect with and get a new one which should work. What I did was connected to the Wifi with my laptop, checked the IP/DNS details and after slight mods used it on the Tab. I did try setting the static to something roughly correct, connecting and reverting back to dynamic, but it wouldn't have it

dsc.

Have you checked with your work network whether or not it needs ca certificate?
or you could try to download wifi ace (advanced config editor) from the playstore, and set the settings from there

[Q] Wi-Fi Problem

My Galaxy 7 tab will not connect to my router, there are 2 sky routers it is trying to connect to, not sure why it is trying to connect to the other.
How can I remove the unwanted router from the list of devices?
Thanks Mark

Turn off wifi, still in the settings, tap once in one router, and choose delete.
Is better you delete both them.
And after this connect again for the one that appear when you turn on wifi.

I have tried that but I do not have the key for the one I want to remove and when I press it it brings up the wireless key screen

Try tap and HOLD and a menu should pop up.
Install wifi key recovery from market first then loss of key should not be an issue.
(I'm assuming you're rooted)

Wi-Fi recovery keeps force closing and tap and hold just brings up the key entry box

Let me get get it straight. You saw two routers on the list.
One is the one you want and have key for it.
The other is the one you don't want and have no key for it.
1) is that correct?
2) how do you know your tab is trying to connect to second router.
If you just want to remove the second router ( aka don't want to see it hanging around) , you can't.
It is broadcasting and you will always see it as long as it is turned on.

OK thanks need to find out who it belongs to then.

My point is, the second router is just being around, you don't have to connect to it or remove it.
That is why I asked how do you know your tab us trying to connect to it.
My suspicion is, it is not trying to.
It just happens to see the other router.
You can just ignore it and connect to yours.
If the tab can't connect to it despite having the right key, maybe it us MAC filter or something else. Just focus on that and forget about the other router.

I have a wifi problem as well where I cannot connect to my wireless routers, even after deleting the settings and trying to get in again. One is open the other is secure but i have entered the correct key. It gets stuck on acquiring IP, but my other devices connect almost immediately.
Any clues?

This is where mine stops as well.

Still looking for a solution to this problem, beginning to considerer a factory reset.
I have tried turning security off my wi-fi and it still does not connect.

Not sure what to do about this problem now, I did a factory reset but the 2 routers are still trying to connect, so I went into download mode cleared cache and reloaded system from download menu and the 2 routers are still both trying to connect.
I have found details on the net about removing the DHCP details using a root exploer but my tab no longer seems to be rooted and if I try to root it using Z4Root which I used before it fails to root the tab.
Any ideas how I can root the tab to get to the DHCP info?
Thanks Mark

[Q] Connected to WiFi network, but no internet connection [WebOS]

Last night, I found my TouchPad sitting under a pile of papers in my office after a few months of wondering where it was and charged it on the dock. Before this long gap of not using it, it had been working perfectly fine - internet browsing, apps, etc... and the internet definitely worked.
After turning it on, it will connect to my WiFi network without a problem, but when I go to open up a web browser page, it says: "Error: No Internet connection." I also can't get it to load stories in the USA Today app and it won't check email in the email app.
I tried enabling/disabling Airplane Mode and then reset the WiFi settings (gave it a new IP address under the WiFi Preferences menu, like this HP forum post says to do), but it still doesn't want to let me go to websites or anything.
Any ideas on how to fix this?

As you say that you haven't used it for a while I'm wondering if you updated the root certificate.
If you didn't here are instructions on how to :

It won't even let me go into the App Catalog to download the update, actually. When I try to, it says: "You must connect to a network to use this application." After I click "Retry," there is a brief moment where it flashes a screen asking me what country I'm in before it goes right back to the screen telling me to connect to a network.
I don't think this is an issue with my router, since all of my family's phones (a Galaxy Nexus, a Galaxy S3, and two iPhones), two laptops, and a Kindle are all using the network with no problems at all. It seems to me like it must be an internal problem with the way my Touchpad is interacting with the network.
Thanks for the suggestion though! That could be another issue I'll have to fix too (since I don't remember downloading an update to fix that problem, which I hadn't heard about before, though I think I've probably used my Touchpad at some point since July 2013).
