Captive Portal suddenly popping up everywhere

[GMMan]

OK... I tested the various site in Chrome, and got one of the following HTTP response codes: 200, 301, 302, 305. It could be one of those codes causing problems, if cURL doesn't redirect.

The captive portal detection apparently parses HTML for title or whatever. It's failing with one of them. I just don't know which one. I suppose all of the sides could be overwritten to a single site, but that's not robust, is it?

Working with HP support, they said that if you have run the WebOS doctor, we can assume it is a hardware issue.... They are no help at all....

Have not experienced this on the touchpad yet and not on the veer but I rarely look up webpages on the veer.

what about contacting the guy in charge of openWebOS , Enda McGrath?

strings on the 2.1.0 version has some strings that may be of interest.

35ConnectivityCheckRequestFromLunaCmd <- hm, maybe able to be manually triggered? I can't get my pre2 to consistently tcpdump... seems like it drops it into packet-dropping-mode when I start it up.

My theory is it goes through these sites, and if enough requests look like a captive portal (redirs) then it sets onInternet to captivePortal?

Anyone figure out a solution for this yet? This is driving me freaking crazy. Is this HP's attempt at getting us to stop using these phones, so they don't have to maintain support anymore?

[Dr. Aquafresh]

Are all Pre 2's still doing this? Is there a good fix for this? This damn phone is waking me up at night with this problem!

Will doctoring it stop this?

[HelloNNNewman]

I've got a FrankenPre2 and I've never had an issue with this. I'd suggest Doctoring (or even trying a different version of the Dr depending on your carrier) and seeing if that helps.

[NuttyBunny]

And just like that it hasn't appeared on my Pre 3 for some time...

I think one way to temporarily stop it is to turn data off on my phone, but then I forget to turn it back on, and miss mms's. It's still doing it on my phone.

I'm getting this all the time too. I think it started about 3 months ago kind of all at once. Drove me nuts for a while but it doesn't seem to make an alert tone anymore.
