Ryan,
Having just went through all these pains, I know where you coming from. It seems the network assistant was added in Android 5. I had this popping up when I had my services set as guest access, but not when doing it as a hotspot service. Also, if it does come up you can tap the 3 dots in the upper right corner and tell it to "use this network as is" and it will bypass the portal for you to use a web browser to complete the session.

I run my users through pfSense, and not our Aruba controllers, for onboarding captive portal control (I like separating out the functions in this instance). I assume it has to be something new with the new OS. HOWEVER, my tablet (which I have for testing only, otherwise I would use it for a throw toy for my dog) in a Samsung running 5.0.2, the same version as the Samsung phone, and it does NOT present a limited captive portal login browser.

So sounds like something changed with Droid? Also, share that check!

Good so far. But when they person gets to the point of downloading the onboarding software or launching the config file, I ‘assume’ the limited nature of the captive portal browser is not allowing those things to happen. If I close the captive portal browser, and open chrome, everything works. I did a packet trace, and noticed a few things it wants to connect to. I opened up connectivitycheck.android.com. Still no luck. I am attempting to make it so when they connect, a limited browser does NOT launch, and for them to open chrome manually. In the past, I haven’t seen this problem, so in the even maddening world of Android (seriously, I have bad thoughts about what I would do if I had an android developer in front of me), has anyone seen this so far and figured a way out of it? I am so tired of constantly chasing google. I need them to send me a check (Apple can, too, while they are at it).
