Android Pie and public log in wifi issue
Hello everyone,
I got a phone with the new version of Android and struggle to use airports public wifi. When I select the network it connects to it without launching the sign in page.
The only workaround I had is to use an other device, get the log in url and manually put it on my android Pie device.
Anyone got the same issue ? Any advice to make it work?
Thanks in advance

Not sure, but try going to NeverSSL - helping you get online and see if this brings up the login page. This site is specifically for this purpose.

Another method is entering the easy to remember IP address: 1.1.1.1
This works at least three-quarters of the time I run into problems finding a sign-in page at a hotspot.

A lot of HTTPS-default websites (1.1.1.1 included) send "Moved Permanently" redirects to the HTTPS version when you try to visit the HTTP version, so just putting "http://" in front doesn't necessarily mean a browser will attempt the latter first. Clearing cache should reset things so that the browser will actually try HTTP though.

I have an iPhone and an Android, the latter for travel. This is a perfect example of why I dislike the Android - it's simply too complicated to do basic things with it.

The same thing happens sometimes on my Macbooks... and no doubt on iOS (although I don't have any iOS devices to confirm).

Yes, this issue is really the network operator's fault for stupid configuration, but iOS stands alone in being unable to handle it.
