Guiexception detected: Abnormal situation Code wifi_login_screen_required/ null

It started after the 4.1.2 update, a factory data reset, and the Ubuntu exploit to get root back. It doesn't seem to cause a problem, but is annoying. I've tried various combinations of the wi-fi options to eliminate the message, but still get it daily.
 
I agree but for other reasons... even two devices setup the same... I don't assume the cause of the original poster's issue to always be caused by the same cause even when it may very well be...

Said another way... The thread is about finding the cause of the issue that the OP stated and other posts should only be made to either support of or help fix the OP's issue. Another person experiencing the same error can be of use in saying what they've tried to fix their own problem... but the thread should be about helping the OP and not the other person since there may be more than one possible cause of an error.

So my last post was just to point out that there are two people posting about having the error... I suspect that OutOfPhase hadn't noticed that and had moved the post based on the second persons post and not the OP's.

Regardless of which thread we're in, I think I fixed the issue. After clearing cache in stock recovery and cleaning up the Dalvik cache in Titanium Backup (root), I haven't gotten the message again. Since it has happened to people rooted or not, I don't think root has anything to do with it. With all respect to Thom, I don't think simply rooting makes it really a different device.

I would not recommend nor clearing deleting or whatever whom ever tells you before you actually know what that error means to you. It is a very important error/meaning. It is letting you know that the wifi network your on has an abnormal gui. Hence code wifi login/null. So what then does warning abnormal guest user id on wifi login code wifi/null which null means no value or validity. So string it together. Your network is not safe someone has bypassed your wireless and is now roaming your phone as you do. Chances are not for your nudes either.

As well it is not entirely noted a security breach. If you are using a laptop/home computer to view such things as a site that has new feeds updates or notifications, and your mobile device is also on that site. You will achieve the error the same way. E.I Google+ Facebook.
