Guest Wifi w/ Login on 5.1

Post by sitruk » 16 Jul 2015 13:21

So, as many have found out Lollipop has some WiFi bugs or altered processes. One being the process to connect to a guest WiFi with a login process (Cisco). In previous OS versions there was no real issue, you can connect and auto authenticate using an 3rd party app. Now you must connect, choose to use the WiFi as is or not at all.

So my question is, is it at all possible to automate this process using AutoMagic? I have attached a couple screenshots showing the prompts.

1) Connect to WiFi (easy)
2) Select notification "Sign into Wi-Fi network"
3) Sign into Wi-Fi network page opens.
4) Select menu
5) Select "Use this network as is"
6) Auto login app takes over and enters your guest login credentials.

Hi,

You could try to automate this process with action Control UI by automating the clicks on the user interface. This method requires the device to be unlocked so it might not be appropriate in all situations and it requires quite a bit of tuning to get the script in action Control UI right. You might have to add some sleep-function calls between the other function calls to ensure that the operating system has enough time to update the user interface before you continue simulating clicks.

Regards,
Martin

It actually seems like disabling Mobile Data prior to connecting to the AP resolves the issue. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
