Ok so i just recently tried 2 different roms on my Galaxy Nexus (verzion) phone
the 1st i tried is Liquid smooth , its okay but as i noticed when going to school i connect to the schools wifi it display , to sign in , so i tap on that notification and then it prompts me to go to the browser so i do so and then a window pops up saying to end USER and PASS itype it in and i can surf the web
..
the day after , i switched out and tried Resurrection, whcih i really like but for some reason the same thing happened with tap to sign in to wifi network notification , prompts me to the browser and it does give me that window like the other rom , i dont understand why doesnt it do that
it displays an error and an ip address with /generate_204 next to it .
so whats the problem here like i cant sign into it.
the ROM you are using MIGHT have come with a custom host file for ad blocking is what I'm thinking as first thought to the issue.
if you go to/system/etc/hosts you can edit that file, usually I just leave in the top line that says something like "127.0.0.1 local host"
then reboot and try again. or try another browser. I dislike custom hosts files being included with ROMs for ad blocking purposes. seems to mess up more than it "helps" sometimes(not to mention blocking ads takes money away from developers who use ads as a means for revenue from their apps/sites)

HI all.
At my work place we have open wifi hotspot. Only thing i need to do to use it is to register on it when connecting for the 1st time, when doing it on laptop it simply pops website, where i need to enter email adress and my age, is one time operation (it records MAC adress i guess). I cant get it done with my Desire, i can see network, but it wont let me open any website, tried different browsers but no luck.
Any clues?
Thanks
Most sites with free access require you to leave the registration page open, then open a second window to browse. So open new window from menu and try that?
I cant even load 1st page, and yes tried new window, changed user agent too. No luck. Bit annoying as im working on the kitchen and could have spotify running all day long, with my 500mb worth data plan that aint an option. I went through quite few different roms alredy, started on stock desire one, now im on latest OpenDesire. My mates Nokia works just fine, web browsing, radio, youtube and so on.
Thanks
I upgraded from my G1 to the new G2.
I am in the military and currently deployed to Iraq. I pay for wifi internet in my dorm. Using my Laptop or my G1 i am able to connect to a wifi service out here that i pay for. once i connect i pull up the browser and it will redirect me to the log in page for the server (where we have to enter a username and pass to allow acceses to the internet. without entering it we are only connected localy). when i use my G2 i can connect to the wifi hotspot no problem, it shows me "obtaining IP adress" and then says "connected to balad-hotspot" just like it would on my computer or G1. but when i pull up the browser it just goes to a "web page not available" for anything i type in. it wont automatically redirct me like both my laptop and G1 do. i even tried typing in the adress it pulls up on my computer when it loads the log in screen, but still shows me "web page not available" Does the G1 and G2 use the same browser? and if so why doesnt it redirect me? what else could cause this problem or fix it please?
with the new OTA update for wifi calling and sms messages you can see why i would love to have this issure fixed. also if i go to a free wifi area (such as a recreational center, where there is no log in neccessary, just connect and go) i have no problem connecting with my G2. so i know the wifi works with it. it just wont seem to redirect my to the log in page or allow it to come up.
firstly: thanks for what you do for our country.
try a different browser. i recommend dolphin HD
thank you!
hmm ok, ill try looking for that tomorrow. can be found in market?
Yes, it is in the market
Wow, they have WiFi at Balad now? Man, when I was there 3 years ago we had to wait in line for a computer! As the others have said, try using a different browser. I'm always switching between the default and Opera depending on what page I'm trying to access.
Oh yeah, if it's anything like Google Voice, the new update may not work for WiFi calling, depending on what country the IP address you snag is registered to. I had Google Voice on my G1, and as soon as I went to Europe and tried to use it on a WiFi hotspot, I got a message saying that Google Voice was not usable in the country I was in.
Stay safe and don't eat too much Taco Bell or Burger King!
haha ya, but its a HUGE rip off. way expensive and slow as can be. but its really our only option to get interent in dorm so im a sucker and bought it.
and for the goodle voice, hmmm i have it on my laptop and it works with this internet. dont know if it will be different with G2 but we shall see.
I tried Dolphine HD and Opera and still having the same issue. it only ever pulls up "web page cannot be displayed" The Internet guys out here said it was my browser. i confirmed with tmo that the browser is the same for the G1 and the G2. yet it works with G1 and not G2. and still wont work with any of the new browsers. Im stuck and this blows!!!
There seems to be threads around about bypassing the tethering without actually adding it to your plan. Some seems to work, some doesn't. So I'm just gonna post here what works for me. If mods find that it is inappropriate to be posted or what not, you may delete this post. Anyways I'm running a CM10 nightly ROM and I was tethering fine for awhile. It wasn't until recently at Starbucks I was hit with a ADD HOTSPOT TO YOUR PLAN blah blah blah page and I'm like WTF?! Anyways I recently swapped from the 5GB plan to the Unlimited 4G plan so I lost the native tethering from the plan itself. After some searching online I came across a solution (not sure where I saw it anymore but credits to whomever it was).
Step one: Use chrome as browser for device. (Tablet, PC, Laptop, whatever it may be)
Step two: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/user-agent-switcher-for-c/djflhoibgkdhkhhcedjiklpkjnoahfmg Go there and download User Agent Switcher for Chrome. It should install right into Chrome and have a little sign on the top right.
Step three: You could pick the default Android user agent that comes with the application and pages SHOULD load up fine. (Works for me) Unfortunately pages load up in mobile mode, sure you could request desktop mode at the bottom of most pages but that gets annoying. Then there is step four which is optional.
Optional
Step four: You go to settings of the User Agent Switcher, and under the Custom User Agent tab start creating a new User Agent. Fill in the blanks with the first box on the left with what you want to name it. I just named mine Android 4.1. In the second box, enter "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/535.19 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/18.0.1025.45 Safari/535.19" without the quotes. The third box should autofill to Chrome, if not put Chrome in there. I picked the option Append for the next box (not sure if it really matters which you pick). Finally for the last box under Indicator Flag, I put AND. Now click Add, and start using this newly created User Agent to browse pages. This way pages seem to load automatically as desktop mode and doesn't seem to flag the T-mobile hotspot message.
This seems to be working fine for me as of the time being. For how much longer I cannot guarantee. I cannot guarantee if it'll start working for everyone either, but I figured I'll share the information. Hopefully this doesn't go too main stream and T-mobile some how fixes it. That's the downside of TOO many people knowing eh? Enjoy!

lol yeah the workaround was probably spread around since... the sensation days? maybe even mytouch 4g days? it's also found in this pretty large thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1883483.. probably mentioned about 30 times in there.
btw i prefer this user agent switcher https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/user-agent-switcher/lkmofgnohbedopheiphabfhfjgkhfcgf
another note: all the "mac" ones work so you can run CHROME on MAC and it'll work flawlessly.
Another funny thing. Rockmelt, although is based off chrome works completely fine without running user agents.
Windows Chrome and Firefox are blocked by t-mobile.
Heck since I already been mentioning all this...
If you're stuck without a user agent switcher and want to use chrome the manual way to switch it for the page that you're on is
right click > inspect element > settings button (gear icon) (bottom right corner) > overrides tab > check and enable user agent.
You can now download an user agent switcher for chrome on that page... and that page alone
Hey guys,
I apologize if this has been asked but I couldn't find it on any particular thread. About 10 days ago I started getting T-Mobile's upsell for tethering that I'd (thanks to the awesome developers) been able to successfully evade for over a year. Is there any fix for this? I'm (now) running Lollipop but it happened before upgrading so it seems unrelated. Thanks in advance!

There's only one solution working for me right now, but you'll have to buy this app: Wifi Tether Router
Go into /system and make a copy of your build.prop
Open your build.prop with a text editor and add this line all the way at the bottom:
net.tethering.noprovisioning=true
Save the file and reboot your device
Open the wifi tether router app and go to "configure wifi router." At the bottom of the page, there's a button to visit the site for device config settings. Scroll down that page to find settings for Note 3.
Once you're all set up, you should be good to go. Only thing you have to do is use a UserAgent switching app on your browser to make it think you're on a mobile device. I'm using User-Agent Switcher (with the blue globe icon) for Google Chrome.
Hope that helps.

Hey, thanks for your quick reply, but with a user-agent switcher, everything works even now. I was hoping to avoid changing my headers because certain sites won't be served to a "mobile" device. Luckily, my internet tv apparently doesn't send any headers because I can still tether unlimited...ly with that, but it's definitely frustrating getting mobile versions of sites on my laptop. I have observed a somewhat strange behavior that I wonder if we can exploit. It's somewhat finicky, but I've noticed that if I Google the name of a site I want to access (still via the address bar, though), the search results come up without TMO nagging me about a hotspot and oftentimes the link from the search results takes me to the site. I can't make sense of it, but as an example, if you try www.yahoo.com, you'll get the hotspot page, but if you google "yahoo" and click the first result, you get taken to the site. *shrug* I'm not smart enough to figure it out, but perhaps this observation will help someone else solve the problem

Glad you got it working! Yeah, idk about the Google Search trick, but I'll try it out sometime.
I am sick and tired of the yaaad popup virus/malware. At one time it was on 2 of my laptops and currently is on 3 of my android phones!
It happens whenever I click any link on any page inside any browser (chrome, default browser or dolphin browser) and a popup window is there starting always with image14.yaaad.com/LINKOFWEBPAGE.US and then it goes to google for a second and then goes to LINKOFWEBPAGE.US etc and then there are lot of ADs there. other variants are http:// images17.yaaad.com/. Everytime a new website opens and same style and new ADs come.
At the bottom of every popup page is '2015 GoDaddy.com, LLC. All Rights reserved' written.
It actually started in one go around 3 months back and go on 2 of my laptops and 2 cell phones both running Android. I freaked out when it came on my personal laptop and I used around 10 different Malwares removal and somehow I was able to remove it from my personal laptop ( The bad part is I dont know which software removed it )
The other work laptop still has the issue and it does not travel through USB etc.
My other android phones have this issue as well (Galaxy Nexus). Whether I use 3G of WiFi the popup comes and after they have opened up 3,4 times they stop for a while and then after a few hours etc, they come back again as if it's an endless loop. When I touch a link, the popup always opens in a new tab.
I recently bought a new tablet (WiFi only) and new phone as well. Both are using the same gmail ID and I am using WiFi on the tablet and no popup issue is there but when I inserted my sim (the old phone sim) the popup virus began on the new phone on the first webpage I opened (it wasnt there before I put in the new sim). The sim card cannot have this issue as I recently got micro sim issued....
HELP ME OUT: There are 100s of softwares for cleaning PC, but I cannot access phone internal system and clean it as when you connect phone to laptop, you can only access the internal memory and the SD card and that's it....
I tried on my new phone something different which was to use a brand new gmail ID and I installed one app at a time to see if some APP is generating it. I installed whatsapp and then checked browser for half a day nothing happened, then I installed facebook and no issue, messenger followed and no issue took place and then VLC media player. Just yesterday morning I transferred my old phone contacts through a .vcf to my new phone and after 24 hours the popups are back.
Kindly help me as I feel that after these popups appear, they are draining the battery much faster and the popups are just annoying. Maybe my phone is at risk as well.
I have attached screen shots as well.
Tried downloading an antivirus from the play store? No idea how well they work!
Brother you might want to check your router
Sounds like someone has setup a DNS redirect which is why you keep getting those popups on all devices
I suggest changing the password to all your credentials because they would have been intercepted by the server that the traffic is being directed through
