Problems Connecting to Wifi

Any time that I connect to a wifi network that requires its own security login or w/e (i.e. at Borders/Barnes and Nobles, Panera) I can connect to it fine the first time and it will go to the certification site thing that those wifi hotspots require. However, if my phone goes to sleep or I try to connect to that same network later on, the certificate site will not load up and I will not have an internet connection.
Is anyone having these problems and is there any solution for this?

[Q] Unable to tether after Ad-Hoc fix

I am unfortunately unable to post a reply within the original thread with this fix as it is in the Development forum. So here it is..
I have applied the wpa_supplicant fix from this thread:

I can now see Ad-hoc networks but when trying to connect to it I am stuck at Obtaining IP Address.
Connecting to Infrastructure networks works fine. Other devices can connect to my Ad-Hoc network. But the Xoom will not obtain an IP Address.
I have tried setting static IP and using open DNS options such as Google's DNS servers but that doesn't work either.
I am using a canadian wi-fi only xoom. I have updated to the most recent US Xoom, Wi-Fi only firmware from Motorola and used this method for the root and unlock:

I am trying to tether to a Samsung i5700 that is rooted using WiFi Tether or Barnacle. Both do the same thing.
I've also tried bluetooth tethering but the two devices will pair but not connect.

Mine does that too where it will hang on Obtaining IP address just make sure your phone is on meaning the screen is on (showing wifi tether.) For some reason it can run but not connect very well while the screen is off. Don't know why this is, but it's been only a minor inconvenience.

Even with the phone screen on, showing the wifi tether screen it doesn't connect. And when I assign a static IP address Wifi Tether never notifies that a client has connected.

[Q] wifi not working on GB 2.3.4

I am not able to browse on wifi network. Wifi toggles to on position, can scan the network but not connecting
My phone is running on stock Indian ROM 1.52.720.3 with S-off and rest everything stock, "NOT ROOTED"
Till 2 days back it was working fine and i could use the wifi network
Now most of the time it does not connect to the wifi network, it keeps scanning, detects the network, attempts to connect and finally says disconnected.
Sometimes it connects, i can see the assigned IP but not able to browse the internet or use the android market.
However internet pass through option is working when plugged in USB
I am able to connect my laptop to the wifi network and use the internet, so my network is fine.
I spoke to the customer care, they told me to do a factory reset from Bootloader option...I did the factory reset but still wifi not working
Any help please

I haven't had that issue with the stock ROM, and but it has come up with some modified ROMs. The solution has been to scan for the network, and attempt to connect and then disconnect & forget the network. Rescan and connect worked perfectly after that.
Worth a shot.

Wifi Hotspot Broadcasts but Unable to Connect

running ics. i went ahead and disabled TetheringProvision.apk. i am able to turn on wifi hotspot through Widgetsoid. The signal is broadcasted but my pc is unable to connect. i have tried multiple other apps such as foxfi or pdanet+ but they also broadcast and i cannot connect. i have a rooted phone and can go ahead and use wifi tether but i would love to use the built in t mobile hotspot app through widgetsoid's wifi widget.
also, i am able to usb tether. BUT I WANT WIFI HOTSPOT!

NVM. ended up using http://forums.techguy.org/networking/1001732-solved-laptop-will-not-connect.html and just did some security key changing...and it worked!

[Q] How to connect to ad-hoc wifi connection

Hi
Can anyone please tell how to connect to ad-hoc network? I have used many ROMs(Stock ICS, JB leak1 and leak3, mokee, pacman, miui) but not able to connect to ad-hoc network in any ROM. In stock GB I was able to connect to ad-hoc wifi. I also connected to ad-hoc connection in JB leak a couple of time, but not able to connect every time. The behavior for ad-hoc connection is somewhat strange, some times phone just keep on "obtaining ip address" step and some time it connects to the network but internet connectivity lost after few minutes, and some times it does not find the ad-hoc connection at all. It does show other wifi connections from my neighbourhood but It does not show my ad-hoc wifi connection.
If anyone has faced such issue, then please help.
Thanks in advance for your help

Or you can use Connectify

I have "data card" to access internet and the lite version of connectify does not support the sharing of internet connection using "data card". is there any way other way I can share my laptop's internet connection with my phone?
BTW, is there any issue with our device/Roms to connect to ad-hoc wifi connection?
