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.
I have a Fuze set up for tethering using the native "Internet Sharing" app on AT&T.
It's set up using MediaNet (I'm not paying the tethering monthly fee).
As far as I can tell - everything is working as it has for a long time now
EXCEPT Facebook. I've tried multiple browsers and got nothing.
When I brought up a proxy Facebook came up with all the normal glitches of a proxy so that's not a permanent solution.
Any ideas?
Thanks
same here, tried going on facebook and it shows i cant go on the site idk if its facebook or AT&T or both, but i know for a fact the mobile version of facebook works, m.facebook.com but no comfirmation of the full version, ill look around and see whats the problem but like i said it could be either AT&T or facebook or both tbh
ahhh...i hate this....but yeah m.facebook.com does work...but it sucks...lol...thanks for the info...hopefully someone answers us soon!!!
Yep.. im in a hotel right now and im blocked.. Pretty pissed about it might call ATT if it isnt resolved by tomorrow..
It is also blocked using WMWifiRouter in Wifi mode.
Oh wow - so this is bigger than AT&T blocking me personally...
It sounds like we all have the same symptoms
My m.facebook (pulling it up on my phone) also works fine
I would call AT&T, but I'm not paying for tethering so I doubt they'll be too receptive
What doesn't make sense to me is why would they block just Facebook? Why not block everything from us non-payers if they have this ability? Not saying I want that - but it just seems odd
Can a paying tethering customer tell us if you can still get on Facebook??
I thought I was just having some strange FB issue. I cannot go on using my tethered connection or my desktop at work anymore... Very strange...
day 2 and NO FB!!!!!!!!!!!!AHHHH THIS SUCKS!!
OMG!!! I GOT IT!!! vtunnel.com then type in facebook.com and BAM!!! YOUR IN!!!
Better Fix
its odd that att added facebook to their list but its ineviteble the block lots of site on their dns i found this out months ago when megavideo sudenly stoped working the best work around is to not use their dns its slow and crappy use opendns is fast and free even warns you against malware site you might be tricked onto clicking on. its what i use its alot more reliable than a cloaking site or proxys.
I use Walking Hot Spot for WiFiRouting on my ATT Fuze. I just tried to open facebook and it worked fine. I did not log-in as I do not have a facebook account, but I could browse to the site.

Also working for me again on both ends mentioned above.

I had the same issue last week, got around it by using OpenDNS servers. Configure the network connection in Windows to the listed dns servers on their site and BAM, everything worked great again.

I dont have that problem...
Ok guys. I am not sure what is going on here.
I can't connect to my schools wifi and it is becoming a royal PITA.
I can connect to wifi perfectly fine at home.
At school, they don't require any sort of "password" to access the network. (no wep or anything I mean) They do have one of those annoying/retarded portal login systems which seems to be coded to only care for laptops.... Actually I should say coded for a hand full of browsers ON the laptop.
I once or twice a week or so ago was able to actually access the login page either by entering it manually and being able to actually use wifi for a few minutes.. or by getting redirected.
I took the problem up with the help desk, they said we now have alimit of 4 wireless devices and my allowance was maxed.
Unlikely but, whatever..
So now over the last few days won't redirect me, it won't let me even enter the login address manually.. (before it wasn't a sure thing but, I could at least do it.)
I am rooted running cog 3.03. (Which does have the 2.2 update) Had the same problem on stock 2.1.
Goes without saying I'm rooted and willing to do what it takes to get wifi working here.. Even if I did happen to have unlimited data.. my school is pretty Iphone heavy... especially at lunch, And some days I am just happy to receive the occassional text I can get from my girlfriend.
But, fact is I don't have unlimited data.. I have extremely limited data.
If anyone has a solution, I would appreciate it.
Tried:
Wifi fixer in market.
Rebooting.
"forgetting" then reconnecting. (a million times).
Manually assigning an IP address.
Praying to Cthulhu
Using multiple browsers to see if one works with portal better.
and I am out of idea's..
Any chance you need to enter a proxy server?
I have never needed to enter a proxy server before with any other device.
And I have never found anything suggesting I would anywhere on the school website.

You might ask around about it. The browser is probably set to auto detect a proxy. You don't have that on the phone.
Although, you do indicate you actually did connect for a bit a while back, so it likely isn't the proxy.
Sorry. Don't know what else to offer.
I appreciate the effort, unfortunately my school didn't resolve the issue either so I am unsure what to do..
You might be on to something with the proxy...
No telling how the looney's set this stuff up...
Do you have the login page in your favorites? And does the device connect to the wireless "hotspot"?
I'd test it at a starbucks (or mcdonalds of all places have them too) and see if the issue repeats itself. The ATT hotspot requires you accept the agreement before it allows you to browse.
If it doesn't work.. I'd go back to stock and see if you continue having the same issues. If the issues are resolved when going back to stock - then you'd need to bug DG for a possible fix with his ROM as that is possibly where the problem lies.
Yes it does happen to connect at other places.
I can get it working at home no problem.
I have the url memorized at this point to log in..
Part of the reason i rooted was one or two people said it cleared whatever wifi problems they wre having up..
Infact I would agree with that more than anything..
Although it didn't fix my problems, I have been able to do a bit more..
I hate with a passion bumping my own thread.. but, if anyone can help.. I would appreciate it.
i think your issue might not be your phone but your school unfortunately... when you are there to connect, are there a lot of others there as well?? for example, where i am at, they have their access points set up and i can select it with my phone, but sometimes i get on and sometimes i dont.. the issue is that they limit the amount of connected users and it might show that you are connected, but you don't in fact have access.. does this sound about like what you are having??
a test (and this will suck) is to let it connect and if it isnt connected, sit there for a while and watch as people leave and see if you connect.. usually they slot peeps in order as they log in via their IP.. so depending on how many users are not able to connect, you might not be the first to get on.. this sux and i know.. it happens here all the time and some times i have drained my laptop battery sitting there trying to connect.. now that i have my phone, 1 or the other will connect first
hope it helps a little.. but like said.. good chance its not your phone .. if it is your phone.. i am not really sure what else to think of at the moment..

Hello,
It is a off-topic thread so my problem belongs here, hope someone will help me here with this....
I have a weird problem accessing http://www.yahoo.com since last week i thought it was a server problem for a while but no it is not as i checked the sites with my neighbor's PC and both the sites working flawlessly... and we have same ISP i.e MTNL Delhi. Whenever i access any of the two site i get the following response, attached:
at first i thought it was some virus or bot problem which is taking my these two sites request to another sites so i switched to linux but of no use, same page is over there too when i access the sites... :| Can someone please help me with any solutions to this problem?
XDA does not allow the use of torrent sites. I have removed your link. Please do not discuss anything related to copyright material/warez and further.
Seems you have something that redirects you to a different site and that site is down.
Just started today... Every time I try to watch a Youtube video from any of my devices a captcha screen appears on the TV and there is no way to enter the text. I have searched Google for a fix but am coming up empty.
Has anyone else experienced this.. Very annoying.
I have tried a factory reset on the Chromecast, restarted the phone, computer, logged out and in of Youtube..Nothing works.
Thanks in advance of anyone has a fix!

Are you getting the captcha if you play the video on laptop/mobile. What kind of network you are on? If you are in a shared network (office public or college etc) and someone else is abusing youtube you may get the captcha.
There are lots of ways your account/network will get flagged for verification. If you use a computer on the same network to enter the captcha, you might can get it to go away pretty quickly. Usually these things clear up after a day or two.
Yes, mine started several days ago as well. I often get the captcha screen on Youtube when surfing on my computer. However obviously having a keyboard the problem is solved. The other day when Chromecast started showing the screen there was nothing I could do. I tried to stream from my tablet and my phone, but neither showed the captcha screen. Only the TV showed it. This is because Chromecast is seen as it's own device, like a mini computer.
I have been emailing with Google and called the phone number to discuss. What's been more worrisome is that so far I don't feel confident that they understand what I'm talking about. Which seems crazy. My next plan is the next time it does it bad like it did the other day where I had to give up I plan to video it and post on YouTube to send them a link. It's the only thing I can think of for them to get the message.
I also did what was suggested by going to another computer and getting the screen to come up on it's own hoping that if I entered the words it would work. Nope no luck. The captcha wants to know that the particular device is being maned by a human and not just an autonomous device trying to get YouTube hits. So Chromecast is on it's own unless they do a software patch to fix them all to skip the captcha screen.
We shall see

Thanks, I am on my home network. I also get the captcha on the device but it's separate from the one in the Chromecast.
See people here don't quite understand like the people at Google don't understand. The captcha screen is unique to each device that tries to access YouTube. and if you're getting the screen it's because the overall network you are on hits youtube a lot. Perhaps it's because you do a lot of YouTube watching, or it could be because you're on a network with many other people. There's absolutely no way to really solve this issue. This is a bad bad bug that Google overlooked. It should be easy enough for them to solve because you know they see what devices are trying to access YouTube, and you know they know when it's a Chromecast device. So they don't even have to write any update for the Chromecast, they simply need to solve it on the side of the YouTube site that when it sees a Chromecast device it will skip the captcha screen.
Google are you listening?
OK today everything is back to normal.. Very annoying though and I hope Google addresses it..
Thanks for the replies!!
