IPhone OS 3 doesn't want me to login to WiFi hotspots anymore (autologin)

Hi all,
After upgrading to iPhone OS 3, login to my WiFi hotspots doesn't work anymore.
Any help would be much appreciated as this renders my WiFi useless...
What happens is:
As soon as I try to connect to a hotspot, iPhone OS 3 pops up a web form to type in username and password.
However, most of the hotspots I use do not have the fields for entering this directly on the login page - but first some links to click on (to decided whether to use WiFi on pay-per-use, pre-paid, customer account basis etc.).
When I tap on one of these links, the page is meant to open a new browser window (pop-up).
However, iPhone OS 3's login page seems to disable that.
When I tap and hold such a link, it asks whether to open JavaScript, if I click on yes - nothing happens yet again.
If I click on cancel, OS 3 assumes I just don't want to use WiFi anymore and will disassociate itself from that particular hotspot.
Stupid! I can't open Safari and log into the hotspot as before (it worked perfectly with the older OS version).
Is there any workaround? Or does OS 3 really render so many hotspots useless?
Many thanks in advance for any info!
Kind regards,
Frank

Hello there, mbrda92.
The following Knowledge Base article provides some great, in-depth steps for troubleshooting your issue:
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
Particularly of note:
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 30 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,

My iPhone 3G wallpaper doesn't want to Change!

i don't know what might have caused this problem, but everytime there's an update i quickly update the iPhone and try to change the wallpaper and it doesn't want to. I need help.

I go to the Photo App and try to find a picture that i want on my camera then i press the "Use As Wallpaper" and pressed "Set Wallpaper" then it loads for 2 seconds. Turn off the phone turn it back on and still has the same picture that I am trying to get rid of. So then i tried going to the Settings App, clicked "Wallpaper", then "Camera Roll" picked a different picture, pressed "Set Up" and then it disappears and goes back to the Settings main menu. Then I turned off the phone and it still has the picture there.

When I try to set up my iPhone from the iCloud it wants me to login to an unknown iTunes account

I have logged into my iTunes iCloud account with my standard acount and email details but it requests an email account which does no belong to me! Who do I contact or what do I have to do?

Hello there Razorbacklvr_10,
It sounds like iMessage is having some trouble activating correctly on your iPod Touch 4th gen. I would use these troubleshooting steps specifically from the following article:
If you get an error when trying to activate iMessage or FaceTime
Check your device settings
Make sure that you’re connected to a cellular data or Wi-Fi network. If you're using an iPhone, you'll need SMS messaging to activate your phone number with iMessage and FaceTime. Depending on your carrier, you might be charged for this SMS.
Go to Settings > General > Date & Time and make sure that your time zone is set up correctly.
Turn off iMessage and FaceTime and restart
Go to Settings > Messages and turn off iMessage.
Go to Settings > FaceTime and turn off FaceTime.
Restart your device.
Turn iMessage and FaceTime back on.
Still not activated after an hour?
It might take a few minutes to activate iMessage and FaceTime. If you've waited more than an hour, try these steps:
Make sure that your device has the latest version of iOS.
If you're using an iPhone, contact your carrier to make sure that you can receive SMS messages.
Contact Apple Support.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

How come my Ipad suddenly doesn't want to connect to the wi-fi anymore? The server stopped for a few minutes and when it came back on, my ipad lists it as available, but says it's impossible to join.

the connexion wi-fi was working fine. Suddenty, the server stopped for a few minutes and when it came back on, I had no trouble using the internet on my laptop, but myIpad won't connect. The wi-fi is listed, but it says impossible to connect. I tried turning off the ipad, but the problem is still there.

Go through some basic troubleshooting steps.
Settings>WiFi>Off, restart the iPad and turn WiFi on again.
Settings>WiFi>Tap the blue arrow next to your home network name>Forget this Network, Restart the iPad and then try to join your network again.
Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings. Restart the iPad and try to join your network again.
Finally, you can try rebooting the router. Unplug it for about 30 seconds and then plug it in again.

IPhone/iPodTouch Question: How can I read out the actual Wifi/Hotspots?

Is it possible to read out the actual WiFi/Hotspots? Which hotspots are now available? Over which Objects/Classes i have to do this? (i need the data as input for a game and a music program)
thanks for any help

I'm also looking for a way to read the available WiFi networks. There must be a solution for this since the application WiFinder does exactly what I seek to do. And it's available through the app store (i.e. it's not a solution that requires a jail-broken phone).

Iphone 4 sleeps and doesnt want to come back on?

when i lock my Iphone 4 it doesn't want to wake back up. the home button and lock button are both fine and i have tried doing a restore on the phone. It was fine for about a day before it started doing it again. I have to either hold down the lock button until it comes back on or wait until it turns itself back on. Any idea of what to do anyone?

Hi jellybean95,
I understand you did a restore with the iPhone and it worked fine for a day but the issue of not waking from sleep returned.
You may want to try a restore as new and test for a while before you restore your previous backup to see if something is stopping it.
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on - Apple Support
5. If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more about restoring iOS software.
If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
6. If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.

How to create adhoc Wifi Hotspot with iPhone to connect Apple TV for Mirroring and Airplay?

I don't want to use my iPhone to share or tether my iPad or laptop etc. with my cellular data plan.
What I want is to create a hotspot with my iPhone (or iPad) so that I may connect my Apple TV to the adhoc network so I am able to stream video and music from my iPhone to the Apple TV.
I do presentations in front of live audiences and want the ability to mirror my iPad or use Airplay to stream video and photos to the Apple TV without connecting to a public WiFi network.
The apple TV is so small, I just tuck it into my bag with an HDMI cable and I am able to tap into LCD projectors and flat screens and use keynote or video from my iPad so my audiences can see my presentations.
Seems pretty simple. But I cannot activate a hot spot on my iPhone without signing up for AT&T's service. Fact is, I have no need to tether my iPhone or iPad, I just want to create an adhoc Wifi network solely for the use of my Apple TV.
I posted this question to the iPhone discussions as well, but thought someone here has wanted to do the same thing.
Someone suggested just bringing any WiFi router and connecting devices to that. But that's not a solution. It's about mobility and simplicity and not creating a larger footprint.
Thoughts?

I am a presenter and I do what you want to do. I use an apple tv as the presentation device that connects to the projector. The thing that makes it all work together is the Apple Airport Express $99 and looks just like the APple TV but white: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC414LL/A?fnode=MTY1NDA0Mg
Basically you define a wireless network ahead of time (using your iPad or iPhone and the Airport Config App) and let your iDevices connect to it and know the details ahead of time (so they will auto connect later).
You have a couple of options of connecting the airport express to the apple tv. I basically stacked them and used an ethernet cable but you can define the wireless connection also. I then strapped them to the projector (which I travel with) and used an HDMI cable from the apple TV to the projector.
Sometimes I present from my iPad...sometimes I present from my iPhone. Sometimes I present from my iPad but use the remote app on the iPhone to see the next screen. Now with Mountain Lion you could even present with a Macbook Pro (not needed though)
Wanna hear the coolest thing? When I want to demo something on the iPad instead of just showing the screen remotely using Airplay I use an App on the iPhone called Air Camera directed down at my iPad screen. The Air Camera sends the video to the Apple TV using Airplay and people are able to see my taps by seeing my fingers.
Another cool thing in a classroom setting with other iPads you are able to let people know your Wifi password and then display their iPad screen up on a projector to ask a question about something or demo something.
So for the extra $99 dolars for the Airport Express and a few minutes setting it up, wammo you have it!
One last note. If you actually do have wired internet at the podium you can connect it to the WAN port of the Airport express and all your iDevices would in addition have internet access. If you need internet access for all the devices and you are presenting in a place without internet then you have to bring a wireless hotspot in place of the airport express. This works equally well (again just setup the connection from the iDevices to the wireless hotspot ahead of time)
Have fun and good luck!

How can I check my passcode I updated today and when I am going to reset all content and setting my iPhone 4S they asked me for passcode when I entered the passcode the one I just update too is doesn't want to accept it

how can I check my passcode I updated today and when I am going to reset all content and setting my iPhone 4S they asked me for passcode when I entered the passcode the one I just update too is doesn't want to accept it

I have had the same problem with iPad recently not too sure why it happened but if you are completing a full reset anyway the easiest way is the restore via itunes on your computer and then set up a new passcode again. Resetting via itunes doesnt require a passcode so it should go straight through.
Hope this helps

My iphone dosen't doesn't make key tone sounds anymore when I write a text message or when I want to dial a phone number I don't know how to fix this problem, I don't hear the clicking noise anymore does anyone know how to fix this problem?

My iphone dosen't doesn't make key tone sounds anymore when I write a text message or when I want to dial a phone number I don't know how to fix this problem, I don't hear the clicking noise anymore does anyone know how to fix this problem?And all the sounds on my phone are on, even the keyboard clicks.

Try restarting your iPhone by holding down the on/off and the home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, double check the volume button just in case. If you still can't hear the tones go into your settings>sounds and make sure the options are on.

My Iphone doesn't want to charge, please help?

I have 3g Iphone, and I had a bit battery problem last few days, but now it just doesn't want to charge. Can you please help me, to repair it?

Reboot your computer and the iPhone for starters.
If you're on a Windows PC, connect the iPhone and open your Device Manager. To do that, click your Start Menu and do a search for Device Manager. Or if you're on Windows 8, open the Charms Menu on the right side and do the search from there. Once in the Device Manager, go down to Portable Devices and click the small arrow to open the sub-menu. One should say Apple iPhone. Right click on that and try to Update Driver Software. If that doesn't work, you can uninstall the driver, unplug the phone, then plug it back in to get it to reinstall the driver. That might take care of it.
Are you able to get a hold of a different Lightning cable just to be sure it's not your cable? I've seen instances where these cables get bent or twisted, especially at the Lightning connector end, and the wire inside the sheathing breaks even though the outside looks fine.
