On my other phones, when encountering a free public WiFi access point that requires Username/PW (e.g. airport, library, court, misc Guest access points), the default browser would launch a "Sign-in to Network" page. On the G4, it bypasses the browser (although you can see it open it for a split second to a blank page) and goes into a default Android sign-in screen. The downsides I have noticed:
- Browsers can auto-remember the log in info, this default Android one doesn't.
- Browsers seem to reliably find (and load) every "Sign-in to Network" page, but the default one sometimes just shows a huge red locked icon. I went to a library and court the other day, and it showed this big fat red icon.
So my question is: Is this something we can bypass or disable and allow the browser to handle the sign-in process? TIA!
If it helps, here's a sample screenshot. This is of my work Guest network. Notice it's not a browser screen.
Anybody have any clue?
No help but I've got the same issue on Nexus 5x but the common issue is the Cisco sign in page. Remember sign in works on all other network sign in bar the Cisco site.

I have now had my TP2 for nearly a week and I am generally very pleased. However, there are a couple of problems that may be me or may be the phone that I have not in my ignorance been able to resolve.
Firstly with the calendar, if I enter a new appointment with specific times it shows on the home page and in the month and day display. If I make it an all day appointment of a reoccurring appointment it is not displayed and I have to disable Touchflo to get into the full calendar to find the appointment. This means the only way I am able to see appointments entered is if each is entered daily with specific times. Pretty useless if I have weekly appointments for the year (I would have to enter individually 52 times) or all day appointments / reminders.
Secondly, the You Tube application comes up with an “Unable to find a network” error message when ever I try to run it. I have no trouble with PIE, Opera, e-mail etc, only you Tube. (If I go to You Tube in PIE or Opera all is fine, it is just the You Tube application causing problems.
I have searched but have not found any postings that seem to answer these problems. Any help is gratefully received.
The Phone has an unlocked HTC standard rom on TMobile UK.
Many thanks

Update
I spent my lunch resetting and then hard resetting and seem to have calendar working properly. I backed up and restored and it still works OK, which is odd (but pleasing) as I would have thought I would be restoring what ever the problem was.
I still cannot get the You Tube applet to work and can find no setting that would allow me to alter how it finds the network.

You might have the proxy server setting active in advanced network settings, just remove the tick box if you do

Yes, that is necessary.
Also, with T-Mobile UK, you have to ensure their 'content lock' feature is disabled before the Youtube app will work. New T-Mobile accounts have content lock enabled by default (to protect minors from certain 'entertainment' sites). To remove the lock, you can either log into your T-mobile account online and follow the 'Phone settings' link, or call customer services and get them to do it.
Thanks
I checked proxy settings and they are disabled. It is not a major problem, just an annoying niggle as I can access You Tube via PIE etc. but it seems odd that the applet deesigned especially for the job doesn't work!
I had Youtube working out the box on T-Mob but couldnt get the facebook app or Microsoft MyPhone to connect.
I ended up setting up a second data connection with the settings:
general.t-mobile.uk
user
pass
And everything else left blank and on Auto and they then connected ok. Give that a shot and see if it helps.
I had the same youtube problem. It seems to be solved now, what I did was connect via wifi (which worked fine) and when I turned wifi off and connected over the air it worked.
Hi,
I am having a problem when I try and access my Sky.com email account from my Desire. I get to the Sky.com page, click on my email, sign in and then get "Data connectivity problem" and "the page contains too many server redirects" and then a "web page not available" screen.
I have plenty of memory available on both the phone and the SD card. I have cleared cache, history and cookies etc.
I have removed all reference to sky on the phone, googled it, and tried again. Same result.
I have no problem accessing my account on my pc and I used to be able to get onto the account using the phone. It makes no difference whether I am connecting via wifi or the mobile network.
Any ideas what this means and any ideas how to solve.
Thank you.
The browser is having a problem with the way the website redirects it to the correct page. Possibly try a different browser - Dolphin, perhaps?
Thanks for that.
Have just down loaded Dolphin (nice browser) but no joy, I get exactly the same messages.
It isn't a problem accessing the account however because I can, via my pc, organise the Sky emails to be sent to my hotmail account which I can access via the phone.
However, as I used to be able to access my Sky emails from the phone but now cannot, I want/need to sort it out!!
Any further ideas?
I don't have a Sky account so can't check to see exactly what's going on here. You say "I used to be able to access my Sky emails from the phone" - do you mean on your HTC Desire? And it's just stopped working properly? That being the case, I suspect you're going to have to wait for Sky to come up with a fix. NTL/Virgin users have experienced a similar problem: http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?p=40027958
Thanks again.
I used to be able to access my e-mails directly from the Sky account on the Desire. I went abroad on holiday recently and couldn't access them (ie get into my Sky account after signing in) on the Desire, I presumed because I was out of the UK and something needed to be changed in my Sky email account settings.
However, since returning, the position remains the same. Google provide the email service for Sky.
PS And on that subject, I am also getting a security warning telling me there are problems with the security certificate in that the name of the site does not match the name on the certificate ie Sky is the site; Google is on the certificate!!
Did anyone get through this? I am getting the same damn problem.
Someone pls help.
Try operamini, that's what I allways use when websites play up.

I've been having a weird problem lately on my Tilt 2 AT&T device. On boot, a "Logon to Server" window will pop up saying "Network Log On". Below it the following:
Resource: MEdia Net
User name: [email protected]
Password: ____________
Domain: ______________
And an unchecked "Save Password" selection
This came out of nowhere it seems. I'll also every once in awhile will get the 3G Icon on the top bar acting like it's trying to connect...instead of the usual 3-4 bars itll say "3G" with 2 arrows beneath it...one going left, one going right.
When I try to access an application that uses the network...say...Marketplace...I'll get a "Can't Access/Dial Network" grey bubble that pops up on the screen...Even when I "Dismiss" the bubble..it'll constantly pop back up. I also noticed in my TouchFlo settings area...the option to turn on and off the network will be on...then it'll flip off...then it'll flip on...like it's confused whether or not to connect.
It's weird...because it won't always do it...but majority of the time it will. I'll still get text messages and the marketplace and apps will work perfectly sometimes, then other times I'll get all this crap and will be forced to restart the device...
ANY IDEAS?
Me too!
I don't know what happened either, but it sure is annoying. I have the EXACT same problem. However, I think I may have caused it. I was tinkering with the advanced configuration tool and BsB Tweaks.
Does anyone who uses these two programs know which setting might be causing this? MediaNet Login Page opens when you reboot the phone.
Thanks!
I think I found the Fix
Sorry, I initially provided what I thought was a fix for this, but after several more tests the problem still exists periodically.
Whenever I start my SGS2 Skype starts with it. On top of that it always starts in Online mode, regardless of what my previous mode was (Busy, Invisible).
I've only had this happen on this phone, not other Android devices. Any idea how to stop Skype starting at book, and if anyone knows how to make it default to the last status?
Much appreciated!
Search for the "autostart" app in the market. Its symbol is a car. You need root too. Hope this help.

to stop Skype from starting when the phone boots up..
sign into skype...go to My Info TAB..
press menu button- click settings... then uncheck the start up automatically box..
in order to keep the previous status...you need to uncheck sign in automatically box..
the downside is you have to enter the login password next time you sign in...
its the limitation of the app..hopefully gets an update to fix it...
edit : i noticed that when sign in automatically box is checked...the status takes 2-3 secs to change to online... if you are quick enough..you can quickly go to My info and change to appropriate status
Great replies, thanks! The autostart manager will come in useful (though I can't find one with the symbol of a car) and I've disabled Skype autostart as per instructions.
The status limitation I can live with for now, my primary concern was that Skype autostarted in Online mode on each boot leading to a flurry of untimely messages. When I start it intentionally changing the status is only a minor inconvenience.
So at work, to connect to WiFi, I have to log in to the network to accept terms and conditions. For whatever reason I can't login properly on my note3. When I login its supposed to take me to a logout page to keep tabbed for when I leave. The issue is, on my note3, it brings me to a similar page but very different at the same time (kinda hard to explain). The page my note goes to after signing in with my userid and password, says that I've signed in successfully and to continue surfing. However, when I attempt to go to another webpage, it redirects me to the login page. I've deselected auto switching, tried to forget the network and sign back in to no avail. I do not have this issue with my kindle and others around me with different android or idevices do not have this issue. Any ideas?
