I've only had the phone a few hours but I'm at a university that requires DHCP registrations, and my LTEvo will not redirect to the registration page. I've tried this through both the stock browser and Chrome, tried redirects, manually typing in the URL, and even connecting to it through 3G, logging in and then trying to register. Is anyone having similar issues at other universities/coffee shops that require a registration or redirect? I verified that I have a valid, unregistered IP on the network.
Issue resolved after installing viperROM. If anyone can address the issue on the stock ROM, this post could be helpful!
I'm currently having this problem at work (hospital). Its been working fine since I got the phone, but today it wont redirect.
My co-workers GNex and BB works though
I figured it out. When 'Best Wi-fi Performance' is checked, I'm actually unable to pull any connection from the university. Disabling it restores connectivity. I'll look into it with the wireless team here.
Same issue with me test at Arby's and McDonalds free Wifi Hotspots.
No Redirect, no web.
Best Performance *IS NOT* checked on mine as it has cause issues for me else where.

A couple of days ago my wireless connection quit working at home. The wireless network icon turned white all the time, and never switched to green. I hard wire the modem/router (ATT Uversre 2Wire 3800HGV-B) into a 5 port switch and plug my computer, network storage drive, and media streaming box into the switch. I've had all of this set up for a few months in it's current configuration and there was never an issue before. This just seemingly happened out of the blue...funny how computers do that sometimes, right? I have an HTC Aria, I was running CM7 RC1 when the problem happened, I just updated to RC2 hoping maybe it would change and it didn't.
After reading posts and checking settings here's what I've found:
My wireless router is set to act as the DHCP server. I set all of the IP addresses manually. I've had it set this way for some time, haven't made any changes recently. The attached network storage (D-Link DNS 323 also has DHCP server capability, but that is disabled)
I found that while my phone was set in the router's setting to connect to 192.168.1.67 for whatever reason it was connecting to 192.168.0.200 (which is out of range, my DHCP is set to address to 192.168.1.64 - 192.168.1.253)
Any idea what would cause this?
I have a temporary fix right now, I've set the phone for static IP and entered all the values. It now connects to my home network on the correct IP and appears to work. This will be a hassle though because there will likely be conflicts when I try to connect to public wifi or at my office. I could just go in and set it back to automatic IP when I leave home....but that is a hassle, and obviously, something isn't working quite right.
Anybody have a clue what would be making this happen?
thanks!

I don't understand when you say your router is your DHCP server but you set all the addresses manually...I can understand setting your network storage and media streaming to static IP's but you may want to reconsider for everything else, if your router allows for that to happen.
Have you tried rebooting your router and switch? May be worth doing that. I would not recommend a RESET because you'll have to reconfigure everything and I know how much of a hassle that is.
So, when you say you set the phone for static IP, do you mean through the phone gui or through the router?
Another thing to check is the number of available IP addresses. You could be out. I doubt this is the case in a home network, but never hurts to check.
"Do you mind if I turn up the AC?"
I have somewhat of a similar situation... I just installed CM7 RC2 and I can connect to my home's wifi and browse the internet etc... but some apps like Facebook won't update. With Facebook, I can retrieve messages sent to me but the news feed never updates and I can't view profiles. And for some reason everything works when I use my university's wifi...

Yeah, it's on. Still doesn't work. One other thing I noticed is that even though I'm with At&t the Amazon App Store works when I'm using my university's WiFi but no where else...

Go here and download the latest Nightly cm_liberty_full-30.zip
WiFi performance has been dramatically improved since RC2, and if nothing else, it's a better place to continue trouble shooting from.

Didn't help I don't get what's happening. I can use the browser fine but certain applications always time out and won't update.
I have the same problem. I've found the following apps to not work correctly when I connect my Sprint HTC Evo 4G (CM 7.0.3.1) to my home wireless network (Apple Airport Extreme Base Station):
Facebook (news feed won't update)
Amazon MP3 (Only the cloud player doesn't work)
Netflix (won't let me log in)
Speedtest (downloads fine but shows 0.00Mbps for uploads)
Again, all features works great on 3G or on the wifi at work (a university network running WPA2 Enterprise with LEAP authentication), which leads me to suspect there's something wrong with my home wifi setup. I have updated the Airport Extreme to the latest firmware and reset it several times yet the problem persists. Any ideas?
Running Vanilla AOSP Gingerbread 2.3.3, finally managed to get this thing to talk to the local network here at work (it's PEAP authenticated, TnT Lite won't see it).
Now I'm running into the issue of not being able to access local intranet sites with my browser. Instead if just takes me to google search.
Running Dolphin HD right now. Any ideas? I'd really like to use this tablet at work to access the local intranet. If it won't do it, that's going to be a problem.
I would download the program ipconfig from the market and make sure you are getting the correct ip information on your network. Getting the incorrect DNS server can cause this issue. You can also downlond ping from the market and try to ping the internal web address. Just a troubleshooting step that I would starti with.
I was able to ping it using the Terminal Emulator, so that is working at least.
Well...I am getting my Gtab deliverred via fedex tomorrow and will be able to test my local intranet sites with the same setup and hopefully be a little more helpful. I will keep you posted with what I find,
Ok, I was wrong, I can't ping. I was pinging a server that is exposed on the external internet (Oops). The internal-only servers are unreachable. The DNS servers, though, are correct.
This is interesting.
From home I can access my work email through Exchange for Android, no problems. However now that I'm online at work and on the internal network, it doesn't work. I suspect it's because it's on the internal intranet now instead of trying to route to it through the internet.
I suspect that, while Vanilla 2.3.3 AOSP supports PEAP, it doesn't really support PEAP.
A large number of corporate networks use a proxy server; check into that.

This one doesn't, as far as I can tell.
My iPhone connects to it fine, other people are able to access it with iPads and Android phones.
I'd ask IT for help, but we're technically not supposed to be using it.

Had the same problem and it turned out to be the Proxy settings.
Got it working.
Now running VEGAn 5.11 and it connects just fine. Not having the issues with the email anymore, either. However some of the intranet sites only pull up if I know the IP directly, apparently the browser has a hard time with port redirection on the URL (it doesn't care for 'evolutionsc:8080' very much at all).
Now I just need to find a browser that can handle JIRA without formatting issues.

I seem to be having the same problem but I honestly don't know how to update the proxy settings for my work network (which does use a proxy server). I'm using Vegan 511, anyone know how to specify a proxy server for the network connection to use? I can't find anything in the wireless&network settings area.
So I was trying to browse internet at a McD restaurant the other day and couldn't get my prime to redirect to McD splashscreen. Tried various browsers......opera, dolphin, stock, chrome and none of them would redirect. Used wifi tool and confirmed an ip address had been issued but the wifi fan would just stay grey. Dhcp settings checked, must admit I haven't tried another mcD location but just wanted to confirm whether others in Oz are able to bring up the sign in splashscreen with their primes running latest stock ICS.
Two Thoughts....If the McD's router is using the AD-HOC mode, you need the fix that's shown in the forum (or wait for update 19/20 - it's supposed to be in there)
2nd, At times, the only way I can get my Prime to work with Wifi is to reboot the router....Wifi Analyzer shows the signal there, but even shutting the Prime down, and restarting, wont work.....then I reboot the router and everything is fine.
I have no idea of what modes the Free Wifi Hotspots use
Thanks, now that you mention it I did already change the wpa_supplicant file some months ago as mentioned in this forum, I wonder if thats what is causing connex issues with mcD`s. Will try with original nxt time.
I have searched but could not find any thing related and there is no specific forum for this device. The problem is when I connect my laptop using the Android Wifi or USB tethers, I can only access HTTPS sites. If I try to hit a HTTP site, they give the general 'could not connect' error. I have tested to ensure I can hit both HTTP and HTTPS sites from my phones browser. I have the same issue using multiple different Wifi and/or USB tether apps. Any advice or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
TL;DR
With LG Motion (MetroPCS) I am able to browse HTTPS sites but can not browse HTTP sites when using an Android Wifi or USB tether app.
Explanation
I did some more research and found that MetroPCS is now blocking tethering traffic
"Their filtering is based on HTTP user-agents. If your user-agent matches a known user-agent that is not android it
will reject the traffic. Now there are two problems with this,
A.) If an unknown userAgent is passed or No user agent, your traffic is accepted.
B.) There are a bazillion TCP protocols that do not have user-agents.
So off the bat with no user-agent spoofing, all protocols work except HTTP, including HTTPS, HTTPS works out of
box because of its encryption."
so it is safe to assume you are tethering w/o paying their $10/mo fee to allow thethering through you MetroPCS phone?
FYI, I feel that fee is a pretty high premium as it brings the unlimited 4g LTE use plan to $70mo. Still not that bad if you can make use of it. Extras like this bug me for some reason, but if they put it in the plan and just charged more I prolly would not think twice.

So I'm not Crazy
this had me pulling my hair out...
tethering was working for me- but then stopped mid-session. thinking it was due to network errors i just quit for the day... only to find tethering never working again.
tracert discovered traffic bouncing through near half a dozen 10.x networks before only finding "no replies". as you suggest, dns traffic worked (non http) and thus added to the confusion.
it appears i hit some usage threshold and http traffic was disabled. funny thing is i was willing to pay the $10/month tethering fee but was told i can't simultaneously have unlimited 4G and tethering on my account. i opted in favor of spending my $10 on unlimited 4G. i'm not necessarily a heavy network users but definitely beyond their 2.5 GB cap.
thanks for sharing and confirming i wasnt crazy thinking my tethering was broken.
MetroPCS 4g tether not allowing http sites fixed
Tonight, I found a solution for this same issue. I was not able to see this review except on the lg-ms770 phone I have with Android 4.0.4. After seeing the term userAgent, and how that seems to be the issue, I tested an Android tablet on my WiFi tether. It worked great! However, this laptop and my desktop could not surf using http.
As my terminology is out of date, and I am a bit overwhelmed at times by all this great achievement, I found something in the Google Play store called Chrome UA Spoofer. It let me change the user agent that MetroPCS sees when using Google Chrome on my Windows XP and 8 computers. Now, I can surf all http sites that I usually use at work. It's a little slow but I think that has to do with local 4G issues that seem persistent to all users of the services here where I live.
At least it helps me save the $10.00/mth I really didn't want to have to pay. I currently shell out $60.00/mth for my phone with "unlimited everything" service, but the http issue was really bugging me. Thanks to your posts and the key term userAgent which was needed for me to first understand the issue and then find a way around it.
Hope I can be helpful in the future.

So I recently moved and had to hard reset my router (Netgear WNDR3700v4) due to forgetting my admin password. After I reset the router and got all the WiFi settings the way I like them my room mate and I started having trouble with our apps on the WiFi but no problems on 4G. He has an HTC One I have the Optimus G and we were both experiencing the same problems. So here is the story of how I figured out what was bothering the phones:
First we noticed the problem on Facebook and Youtube. Nothing would load as pictures and media but text came up fine. I tried re-installing the apps, no difference. Then I tried re-installing my ROM (SlimKat latest stable) no changes. So I did what any well versed IT would do and began my hunt on Google. I found very little to nothing, mostly people blaming routers or ISP's. That would simply not do. After carefully combing through my logs and comparing the WiFi data traffic on my PC's, game consoles, etc. It seems it was only our phones that had this problem. So I put my network engineer hat on and started tinkering with the routers settings. One forum thread suggested it might be a DNS problem. I figured that TimeWarner is such a garbage ISP the DNS servers were bound to suck. Well I tried OpenDNS and GoogleDNS ip's and there was once again no change. Now I was about to head-desk when I clicked on my routers advanced WAN settings tab, and there was the culprit. In the case of my router it has an option for the IPv6 to be DNS, 4to6, off, etc... In this case the solution was to disable it entirely. Sucks. It looks like KitKat has a problem with some routers IPv6 where a bit of data makes it to the phone and then the data stops. Any DEV's out here know of a fix for the IPv6? Anyone else have this problem? Everything runs great now that I'm back on IPv4.
TL;DR Try turning off IPv6 on your router.

That's interesting. I went out of my way to setup IPv6 on Comcast and am occasionally surprised to find devices I forget about "just work".
