WIFI question - Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers

Whenever I go to a public place that has free wifi, I can connect but no internet on my Pixel XL. I also had this problem on my Nexus 6P but never looked into it. It works perfectly fine at home or when I visit a relative who has password protected wifi.
Anyone know why?
Im thinking it could have something to do with my add blocking apps... AdAway and Adguard.
Anyone know?
Thanks

Mine does this too and it sucks. Many times I can select forget network and then re add it and it will work, but some times it wont after multiple tries doing this. Its only on open networks where you use no password as I never have any issues with wifi where I have to enter a password. Mine has done this from day 1 even after all updates it still does this and I have the verizon 32 gig pixel xl. I use to have problems at walmart kroger and meijer now it mainly seems to be kroger but every time my pixel xl wont work on their wifi my unlocked Htc 10 will work perfectly off it so its the phone for sure. Sure would be nice if they would fix this issue. I think the problem is in the wifi assistant.
I do also have adaway though but I highly doubt that is the problem as I have had this issue from day 1 way before I ever added adaway.

Nexus 7 2013 LTE WIFI problems, nexus 7 2012 works

Alright guys, haven't been on here for awhile. My work has a public wifi network, one of those ones you have sign into through an internet portal. I had a nexus 7 2012 wifi only tablet, and it worked with my wifi at work. My HTC one also works with my wifi at work. There isn't any "real" login (ie username and password) it's only a "hey thanks for using this press continue to gain internet access"
I bought a nexus 7 2013 lte tablet last night. Took it to work today and it will not connect to my works wifi. There wifi provider is wandering wifi. The error i get is "Unable to connect to the internet, there were technical difficulties directing you to the wifi login page. we are working quickly to address any issues. please try again in a few minutes"
I can turn right around and log into the wifi with my htc one and my nexus 7 2012.
things i have tried:
-disabled mobile data
-removed tmobile sim
-restart tablet
-factory reset tablet
-used a different browser to complete login
-logged into my home wifi network (works)
things you should know about my situation
-not rooted on any of the three devices
-not unlocked on any of the devices
-no software modifications at all
-EVERYTHING IS STOCK on all three devices, but up to date.
Suggestions and tips would be great.
Thanks
Nick
the first thing i thought of when reading about this sort of access points like the one you have described is that i always have to activate cookies in order to log onto the wifi. but it seems that it may not be your issue since you already have tried with another browser...

Thanks for the reply, i did mean to add the fact that i cleared the cookies.. but i figured most would realized that comes with factory resetting and new browser lol
If the 2012 one is on 4.3 or less, and the 2013 is on kitkat, perhaps the wifi gateway requires flash, which is no longer supported on kitkat (unless one uses dolphin with the flash workaround).
In short, try it with dolphin with the flash apk enabled.
Both nexus 7s are on kit Kat. Logging into the WiFi web portal inside of Google chrome

Restore saved wi-fi passwords from nexus 6 to pixel XL?

TL;DR
backup is set on my nexus 6 and I synced right before turning on my pixel Xl for the first time but saved wifi passwords didnt transfer
Hey fellas.
Is there a way to transfer my saved wifi passwords and SSID's from my old phone to my pixel? I was under the impression google did this via the backup feature. I know it restores it on the same phone because ive wiped my N6 before and it remembered everything once I signed in again. Im open to using a 3rd party app but I hoping I dont need to root my pixel as I use android pay......yeah Im that guy lol. Thanks in advance!
I used the cable transfer feature to copy my stuff from my N6 to my Pixel XL. Not sure if that made any difference but all my WiFi info was restored.

hmm that could be it as I opted out of doing that. Is there a way to initiate that again without doing a factory reset on my pixel though?
It should sync with your Google account - I can not confirm or deny it because I entered my WiFi password before syncing and haven't had a chance to go to another WiFi location I use yet.
I know for a fact on other phones in the past, the WiFi passwords synced through my Google account though.

Only way I know of would be a factory reset. I used the cable as well from my N6 and was definitely the way to go. Fast and all my settings, text, apps, etc moved over.

hmm I was afraid of that. Just curious do any of your wifi passwrods use a 3rd party application to connect to it? i.e cisco network setup?

ok. thanks for your insight. In any case I at least confirmed it was possible somewhat here. Chatting with support via the settings tab and support said I couldnt do it at all lol. they are nice but kinda useless
its been hit and miss with the backup for me. Usually works, but sometimes just doesn't.
I went from Nexus 6 to Pixel XL, and used the NFC to set up the Pixel XL (copying apps and settings from the Nexus 6). it copied across all my app settings (for google signed in apps), as well as wifi passwords.

WiFi Assistant blocks outgoing email

Has anyone noticed that WiFi assistant blocks outgoing email when using a third party app?

Sounds like you app is having a problem with the securing of teh tunnel.
Could be any number of reasons.
NAT Translation, packet changes.
You might want to check out there support
I do not have that issue but I use to have problems with wifi assistant blocking open wifi networks as the open networks would connect but show no internet connection so I just learned to not use the wifi assistant at all.
I first reported this to Google when the Pixel was released. I spoke with them again today. After a rather lengthy call, the tech finally said that he was aware of my initial call, but that it is difficult for them to fix because it is "very uncommon". Happens to me every time the Assistant is connected.

I had reported my issue also and verizon got google on the phone with us and just discussed what the issue was and said they would get back with me but did they ? Answer is of course not nothing ever back and that was back in early November.
Yeah their cs sucks. I even upgraded to a 128 xl and had same issue on it and back then my open wifi would not work at all would connect but list no internet and the sign in accept screen for all the open networks the phones would not load them fully to hit accept.
Up until about a month ago I could not get any open wifi to work at all and still have issues at times and I have to hit forget network and re add sometimes even multiple times and even turn on or off wifi assistant and turn wifi on and off and even toggle airplane mode numerous times. And all these times my Unlocked Htc 10 would work great on the same open wifi networks.
And the stupid thing was these pixel xls always worked great on wifi networks that require a password, go figure they try to add more protection and just lock us out from using open networks so we have to use our data plans yeah verizon likes that part lol more money for them lol.

I did some reading back when I first got a Nexus 6P, and it stated that the secure assistant feature will keep you from using unsecured networks that have low reception or strength. I don't know of the legitimacy of this, and the only reason I researched it was because I had the issue of connected but no internet. I idea I walked away with was that the connection was not good enough for the VPN to actually do it's job? When I don't use the Secure Assistant on the network(I work at a hospital), the connection often drops off or I often get the sit and wait for things to load issue.

Hey have you ever tried Blue mail or type mail ? I have tried most including Aquamail and Blue mail and Type mail seem to be some of the best, they are some of the very few apps that have a lot of downloads and have a 4.6 and 4.7 rating. I just thought you might have an interest, if not and if you are happy with that app more power to ya

VPN help

Hi all, I need some help with my VPN. I have TMobile and when I connect to VPN I can't load any pages. It works on all of my other devices except my OG pixel, and now my pixel 2 XL. It's only when I'm on my mobile network if I'm connected to WiFi everything works fine. I have searched and can't find anything.
It's kind of weird that this is only happening on my pixel devices?

I have a paid VPN on my Nexus 5X, running Android 8.0. It is set to autoconnect and it disconnects when I go on the cell network. Seems to stay connected on wifi 90%+ of the time without intervening. I've never messed with it when it disconnects when the cell network. But I just tried and the VPN turned on and websites didn't load. So it seems to be acting the same way. I'm on Fi, but connected through the Tmobile network. I also have Fi's Wi-Fi Assistant on, but I've never seen it connect to any wifi hostpot so I don't think it is coming into play. I also tried Opera VPN on the cell network and websites were also blocked using that.
I wonder if it is something to do with stock Google Android. I personally think Google messes around too much with things that are working fine.
So I guess all I've added is I am having the same thing happen on my stock Google Nexus 5X when using cell data.

What paid VPN do you use? After googling for hours I found some info but nothing that fixed my issue.
I host my own VPN on my unifi security gateway and and kept seeing that the default MTU and MMS is set to 1452 on the the unifi security gateway and needs to be set to 1500... Some people had this work for them, others not.
This sucks I was excited about this phone coming from my OG pixel XL mainly for this reason. I thought my old pixel was just messed up.

I use VPN Unlimited. It is on the cheap end of the scale, so may not be the most reliable or up to date app. Works for wifi connections though. I'm also not trying to access a protected network. Just getting around geographic restrictions when I travel and for when I use public wifi.

By no means a VPN power user, but I was trying to use the built-in VPN on my asus AC-68U. I have always used the PPTP and it worked flawlessly on my 6P over Sprint. Switched to the Pixel 2 XL and nadda. I tried to research as well to no avail. I simply switched to OpenVPN on the router and downloaded the app (Play Store: OpenVPN for Android). It has been working perfectly ever since. Even has a quick toggle button you can add. Just my $0.02.

Awesome thank you for the heads up. I was trying not to setup an openvpn server since my security gateway had an L2TP VPN server built in. But it looks like I'll be setting up a VM openVPN server tonight. Thank you wish me luck!
I will report back to let you guys know of that works or not. Still sucks that every device I have connected to my VPN worked except the one I use most! Pixel 2 FtW
OpenVPN server worked perfectly! Kinda sucks cause it's not tied into my Ubiquiti GUI but it works perfectly! So I'm happy thanks all.
I use Private Internet Access. It is a paid sub ($50+ on slickdeals for 2 years) they have an app and quick toggle as well. Works on all my Android devices and PC so far. Pretty happy with them. Claims of no logging either if that is something of importance to you.

Yeah I have a PIA account also from SD but I dont use it anymore. The main reason for the VPN for me was to access my home network from outside safely. But since I have my own VPN server setup now no need to go bacck and forth to PIA and openVPN.
I am going to be putting my openVPN to the test today and see if I can hold a connection all day long. So far im 3 hours in no drops or disconnects yet... Im loving it.

Right, nlua, I am also using PIA which is very cheap VPN on the list of best VPNs services. My biggest reason to use PIA is that torrent-friendly VPN with no logs and Unlimited bandwidth and VPN speed.

Strange issue using WiFi on Pixel 3 (Some apps cannot connect)

Okay I am having a strange problem and I have run out of ideas (and so has Google). On my new Pixel 3 XL, it is up and running smoothly with one giant issue. Most non-stock apps (Netflix, all amazon apps, Zedge, etc) cannot connect to the internet when using WiFi. All the stock(youYube, google play store, gmail, etc) apps that I have tested can connect over WiFi. All of the non-stock apps CAN connect over the cell networks (Project Fi). ALL other devices I have, including the Pixel 2, work 100% fine over WiFi and cell network.
All routers, phones, apps are up to date.
I have tried everything that both I and google can think of. My ISP is Frontier Bonded DSL modem (I have no choice where I live but get okay speeds 22Mbps).
1) Factory reset everything (router, phone, even my modem)
2) Use the router and WiFi built into supplied DSL modem (modem is only 5 months old), same issue
3) New TP-Link router, same issue
4) Used an older Netgear router, same issue
5) Reconfigured routers as WAP, same issue
6) Reset, re-entered everything on phone, forgot networks, uninstalled, re-installed all involved apps, cleared caches, etc, etc.
7) Tried different forms of encryption, AES, TKIP, same issue
8) Changed from WPA to WPA2 to none, same issue
9) Tried different DNS servers, same issue
I was on the phone with Google for 4+ hours to no avail. Again every single other device I have, other phones, streaming devices, Amazon fire, etc, etc all work 100% Only the Pixel 3 has issues. Any hints, tips, or tricks appreciated.
Same here!
I'm having the same issue. CenturyLink is my Internet provider (VDSL2 connection), and Project Fi is my cellular network. I made a post on Reddit regarding this and found a small amount of other people experiencing the same thing. Since I'm a new user I can't post the link to that discussion, but if you search my username /u/ilikepizzaskolvikes you should be able to find that discussion. So far it seems to be affecting Frontier and CenturyLink customers. Connections made from a house using Comcast worked as expected...
I've tried everything you've tried. I did get it to work by changing my modem (Netgear D6400) from bridge/modem-only mode to modem/router mode. When connected to the modem's WiFi both my phone and my wife's Pixel 3 apps started working correctly.
Unfortunately, that isn't a good solution for me since I work from home and for whatever reason my Netgear D6400 doesn't handle my work VPN traffic unless it is in modem-only mode.... So I'm back to square one here...
I have the same issue with Office 365 work emails and Netflix. It works just fine over LTE and using my work Wifi but it will not connect using my home wifi. I have a Netgear R9000 and Netgear Orbi. I have spectrum Internet.
I'm having same issue several apps including Zedge won't work in WiFi other being my credit card app
Any solutions? Same problem.
Are any of you using an ad blocker? Try whitelisting those apps if you are.
I had a mystery problem with wi-f and no connectioni, and it turned out to be "Hidden SSID" and how android 9 handles it differently than android 8 !
hint - you have to scroll down...
( hope this helps )

Questions: Did you try booting the phone in safe mode? Didn't see that in your list. Also, are you on the Nov update?
Sure hope you get this figured out, and report back if you do. I have no issues with my Pixel 3 and home wifi, but I travel a lot and use many different wifi networks, so could easily be vulnerable. Thanks in advance for any insight.
I have this same issue so much so I'm thinking of returning it. You can't use the downloaded apps in safe mode.

I'm using Amazon Music and Prime Video just fine. Do they count?
I can't log into amazon shopping app, Netflix, Skype of business, zedge and my credit card billing app that's all I have found so far
I'm thinking about sending it back and waiting on Black Friday to see if they are going to do in sale if not may go with Google for unlocked bootloader

Seems odd. I can login to Amazon shopping, Music, Prime Video, and 2 different credit card/bank apps on my home wifi connection. You think it's the Pixel 3 that's causing your issue?

So you think it's a HW problem with just some Pixel 3s? Wonder if there's some connection between this and reports of some VPN's constantly disconnecting. My VPN works fine as well. One other thing I saw is when I connected to my Spectrum streaming app to watch TV I got a message that I had to turn off USB debugging. I normally leave it turned on, and it hasn't caused problems with any of the other apps I listed, but perhaps that's a setting difference. Just some random thoughts.

Ok, that makes sense. Hope there's a fix soon.
I had the same problem, and tried everything as you did. Last thing I did was to replace my routers firmware to WRT, It stopped.
I have an Asus AC3200 original, and updated it to Asuswrt Merlin.
But as you said you tried different routers, don't know what to suggest...
I've tried safe mode, etc. as well as current updates but still no joy. I've been going back and forth with Google support for a couple of weeks. They are sending me a new phone but like @DrUnkeN_TiGeR I think this is software, not hardware so I'm assuming this won't fix the issue.
I just came across this today. So I'm going to play around with MTU settings tonight and see if it makes any difference.
My bonded dsl modem from Frontier won't do bridge mode apparently, so when the new phone doesn't change anything my plan is to see about getting a modem that will do bridge mode so I can put a different FW behind it.
