General :: WiFi Landing Page Like IOS
Sep 29, 2012
I've been using Android for a little while, iOS before that, and WM6.x before that. I've really enjoyed Android, but there is one thing I notice on iOS that seems to be missing on Android. Specifically, with iOS, if you connect to a WiFi network that has a proxy/login page (e.g. hotel, commercial space etc) as soon as you attempt to use any app that requires a data connection, it recognizes it isn't connecting to the internet and pops up with login/landing page.
However, my observations on Android seem to be that it just doesn't recognize that happening, so for instance today I was at Lowe's (I had previously saved their public wifi) so my phone connected automatically. I then went into Gmail and I get a 'no available connection' which then meant I needed to launch Chrome which loaded the last page I was one, but since it did it from cache it loaded, which meant I needed to reload it which finally brought me to Lowe's landing page and allowed me to login. Compared to iOS this substantially more cumbersome.
Right now I'm running a de-sensed ICS rom on htc rezound, previously tested with thunderbolt and droid charge (all with stock and custom roms). Any hacks/mods/applications that will give me more of that seamless functionality in Android?

I am trying to open next link in new webview, just like tabbed browsing.

I am wanting to make a reusable 'landing page' activity similar to like the activity when you first launch the official twitter app, facebook, or google io app, etc. Reusable is really the key here I would like for the activity to dynamically populate its gridview with the other activities in the application.
Is it possible to parse through the android manifest file to find my other activities? If so is it also possible to add my own xml attributes to the manifest file to distinguish which activities should show up in the gridview Or, is there some other way to find all existing activity classes in the package? Is there a way in java to look for any Class in a package that implements a particular interface?

I wanted to give Android a try after having an iPhone for about 4 years now (1st generation iPhone). I decided to go with a used "China" phone - Hero h300 because I didn't want to splurge and find out that Android wasn't for me. So far I do like it but I am running version 2.2.1 (Froyo) and am having an issue with the WiFi connection. I'll initially connect and after a random span of time it will start failing to load pages when browsing or the market will report that there was an error (or lost connection) even though the phone still shows a WiFi connection.
I do not have a data plan and am using WiFi for connection and have setup the phone to use the WiFi instead of Sim data connection. I use WPA/WPA2 PSK security for the wireless network. If I turn off WiFi and turn it back on (on the phone), it will reconnect and work for a while but the problem comes back. So while I "surf" the internet or Market, I have to constantly turn the WiFi on and off.
What can I check or try to resolve this issue? I actually had bought this phone because the iPhone's WiFi was going loopy (it would just scan and scan and scan and never find any networks - even if it was literally sitting next to the wireless router) - so it's kind of ironic that the main problem I have with this phone turns out to be it's WiFi

When I try to connect to my University's network , the my Galaxy S is able to connect JUST fine. However, when I open a browser it says the incoming certificate is not secure and then I have NO INTERNET on any page. It tries to redirect me to the login page for the network but fails to do so with a "communications error" and subsequent no internet access of any sort.
What the network is supposed to do is redirect me to the login page so that I can register the device to the network and login using my university account. My phone can't do that apparently and just sits connected to the network with NO INTERNET connectivity.
This is the university network and the instructions how to get on it for Android devices: [URL] .... I connect to it just fine but am UNABLE to get to that device registration/login page.
This is NOT just for my university. ANY public network which requires me to accept an "agreement" before it lets me have internet access, my phone KILLS ITSELF and CANNOT pull up the agreement page but instead tells me there is no internet. I'm SURE its a software problem or something with settings but can't figure out just what it is.
Just about the only networks I can connect to on Wi-Fi are home networks.

I am having an issue where my phone connects fine to my home internet Via a new N-Router, then while using the phone and going through different apps like facebook or android market. I get errors about unable to fetch updates or unable to update page. All the while the WiFi icon is still on in the status bar. It seems that when I turn off the WiFi then back on or power the phone off then back on it work again for a short while. I don't have issues with my laptop or WiFi that use this same router.

I've been experiencing an odd issue with the Captivate and Wifi. I'm right next to my router, signal at full force, all bars showing on the phone, and I get the "page not available screen"? At first I thought the problem was with the sites, but everything works fine on 3G. I tried multiple websites, and I've been getting mixed results. This phone is new, I just exchanged my last phone for it a few days ago, and my grace period ends tomorrow. Does this sound like an issue that is the fault of the phone hardware, software, or am I just over reacting?I'm concerned because tomorrow is the last day I can exchange it, and I want to make sure that there is nothing wrong with the wifi radio.

I have the tronsmart CX-919 mini pc running 4.2 and there is an issue with the browser reverting back to the home page or the previous page. When I try to display a webpage on our intranet it reverts back to the homepage or previous page after about 3 hours. I need it to display constantly. I read somewhere that it was a Download Manager issue and disabling it would work but I can't find where to disable it. Also it was stated that Flash was an issue but i tried uninstalling it and it just reinstalled itself and the problem kept occurring. I just want to display a page in a browser and for it to stay on the screen (full screen) until I manually navigate away from it. I plan to leave it on for weeks at a time.

how do you paste copied text (ie a URL) from a web page into a new window to open that page?
Also can you restrict internet connection to 3g or 2 g only?
I've just come from n900 so trying to figure out the differences!

Why is it every time I go to the internet, the last page viewed shows? I have my home page set to "Google." Shouldn't Google be the page that shows up? Also, it seems to save the history, even after I delete history, cookies, caches. Why? I was told to try and keep this, as well as deleted email, empty or the phone may become slow.

I have tried different contexts, inbox, recycle bin, unread email, read email, but cannot find this setting, in fact according to the Google support page I am missing a whole range of settings.

I bought a Verizon LG Lucid 4G and I would like to flash it to Page Plus. I have DFS CDMA Tool Demo version and QPST.
How do I get my Lucid into Diagnostic Mode??? I believe I know all the step to flash my phone, but I can't seem to get my phone into Diag Mode. What code do I need to do so??
What are the steps to flashing my phone over to PP using DFS Demo or QPST?
I followed the steps this guy took to flash his HTC Thunderbolt 4G over to PP, but it's not working for me, probably because I'm not in Diag Mode. The guy used CDMA Workshop, but I did the same steps using DFS. Anything I change and write to the phone never saves after I restart the phone. URL..I want to flash my phone without having to pay for any software, if at all possible.

Samsung GS II, I9100, international version running Android 4.04. Latest version of GO Launcher. Running GO Windows theme.
I cannot figure out how to add a new home page. I'm at ten right now. If I use Settings/Edit to get the multiple page view of home screens, there is no plus sign to add a home page. I must be missing something.

If I do a Google search via the search app or the search bar widget and for whatever reason go back to the home screen, how do I get back to the search results page? If I do a search and leave the search results page I can't seem to find a way to get back to it without opening a new search altogether.

I was using an LG Lucid up until a couple days ago, and for a while now it stated trying to open up "goolgle" as the default page when opening the browser. I figured it was just the phone acting retarded since it was rooted and romed and it's been randomly restarting a lot too, so who knows...
So I bought a Galaxy Nexus second hand and it works great. But ever since I signed into my Google account with it it's started doing the same freaking thing! Opens up "goolgle" when I open the browser.

What I want is a shortcut to just to start Chrome in the 'bookmark' page. I don't want any of the bookmark widgets for the home screen - if you have more than a few bookmarks those become useless anyway.

currently using widgetlocker and it is great, but I would like to get more functionality out of my lock screen
Basically looking to cram more widgets/info in there & I've run out of space
Wondering if there is a way to have more than 1 page on the lockscreen and be able to swipe through them
Or something like double tapping a widget/the lock page and have it flip over to present more info on the other side (used to have something like this on iphone, Intelliscreen)
device info: Galaxy Nexus gsm yakju, unlocked bootloader and rooted

A quick search didn't show what I needed. This is probably the easiest question you had all day.
How do I clear unwanted icons from home? Is it same procedure for deleting unwanted apps from the device?
