[Q] Captive portal issues - T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII

I've noticed that my S3 has problems connecting to Wi-Fi networks with captive portal. It connects, displays a notification saying that I need to open a browser to login... and than disconnects before I have the time to do so.
This only happens with captive portal Wi-Fi networks.

[Q] GPS is turned on when I enable WiFi

Every time I enable WiFi I see the GPS icon show up indicationg that some app is requesting the location. This has started to happen last weeks and is very annoying.
I enabled "use wireless networks" under location some weeks ago and accepted the request from Google to collect anonymous location data, but disabled it again when it drained my battery. Could it be that Google started use the GPS instead and only when WiFi is enabled to not use my 3G data?
Anyone experienced this?
there is bug of ur rom, wt is ur rom?

You can try PDAnet/FoxFi, but last I checked it didn't work. Hopefully, a new version by now that may work. If not, rooting is the way to go and for sure I know Wifi Tether works!!

Prl question

I have a sprint note 2 flashed to straight talk. The Prl is 59325. When I reboot the data gets real slow and the radio strength goes to -125. If I call *228, *22890, or *22899 the data speeds up and the radio db goes to between -85 and -75. Why does this happen?
Update. It improves when I call any number. Does not really make sense to me.
