One big problem: when I am in certain open public hot spots (e.g. public library or a coffeshop), I can't get their web's opening authorization page to load so I can access the web. You know, the one which asks you to agree to their "terms and conditions of use". Hence, I've got the wi-fi network on and set up but not internet access. Thus, no email, no shopping, no downloading, no browsing, no maps...you get the idea.
I was using Dolfin Mini exclusively (as a default), which I changed earlier this AM {Thanks to Obsessed for the instx on doing that}. I've tried so many different things to resolve this but to no avail. No info is avail on AMZN's website or on the Dolfin blog either. BTW, the same issue comes up in Silk. ANY ideas? Anyone, anyone, Beuller??
First try changing the User Agent in Dolphin Mini or Silk to Desktop and see if that makes a difference. Additionally, Dolphin Mini 's User Agent can be set to iPhone or Ipad, who knows that may work. Like Silk, Dolphin Mini uses accelerated browsing so this may be the issue. As far as I know accelerated browsing can't be turned off in Dolphin Mini. However, in Silk try turning off popup blocker and accelerated browsing and give it a try. You can try another browser like Miren that doesn't compress pages (accelerate) by default (turn off pop-up blocker: Settings --> Web page) and see if that works. Once you agree to the TOS you should be able to browse with any browser.
