thanks

depends what type of access point he is talking about.
If you are talking about the access point name settings in mobile networks, then of course there is. Did you not notice the settings called proxy in the list when you edit it? you can't really miss it!
if you're talking about Wifi then Ovek's right, you're S.O.L.
It really makes me wonder what the Google programmers do all day, I mean they find the time to give me options about not letting WiFi sleep (nice! well done) then don't give you basic network options such as proxy or various corporate WiFi technologies.
Who is android designed for? Is not designed for students as every collage or uni network ive ever used needs proxy support.
Its not deigned for the business world with its crap email client, lack of proxy support or corporate WiFi tech.
And really let's be honest its not designed for your bog standard user as everything android does lacks a certain amount of grace, fixed a bit by the Hero but that's so bugged even I've wanted to throw it out of a window.
Ovek - agreed. I was gobsmacked by this lack of proxy setting. I thought it might at least support auto proxy settings with WPAD or PAC. I cannot use my Hero on a number of corporate networks because of this.
Wifi Access point
Hi,
I was only interested set the proxy setting for wifi access point.

And that's why it's always been an inexcusable omission from day one. In my eyes anyway (not Googles apparently!).
There might be hope in the future with Donut as it does add better WiFi support, business stuff mostly but it will effect some uni networks that I know of. So if they have added that they *might* have added some proxy stuff, let's just hope they take a page out of Apples book and do proxy settings depening on what Wireless network your attached to.
no there is no way
some one may not want to use a proxy at all
if you want to use proxy for opera u can try this:

EzHero has that built in, you can disable it or enable it through settings...

Hi everybody!
I have a little issue using my work's exchanger server connectivity on HTC Touch Pro.
Issue: To access internet, my provider uses their "walled garden" APN, which allows me to access their services & general web.
This APN, however fails to work with Exchange.
To overcome this, they have given me another APN, which allows me to access Exchange/Push & Internet but not their services.
Now, it is really, REALLY annoying have to change APNs every time I need to access different info (web vs. provider's page) and I have not been able to find anywhere to specifically point Active Sync to use the required APN as it only has option for "Internet", which I assume is the generic active access point
Dialling rules also are useless as I'm using HSDPA with no proxy to access web.
Apologies if this is all too confusing and thank you in advance for your assistance

Thank you!!!
So I have done that and can have 2 multiple APNs running at the same time!
It seems, however, that both connections have to be "ON" at the same time as when all APN are disconnected, it doesn't chose the correct data account but always the one that is higher on the list.
Is there a way to overcome this - is there a way to prioritise which data account I want to be used first?
Thank you again

Hi, I have a HTC Kaiser with BlackBerry Connect and I don't have the issues you describe. BBC creates it's own APN which is not used for anything else. In 'Connections' I have 'My ISP' set to use the Vodafone APN I manually defined. Under normal circumstances BBC keeps its own APN connection active, if I open IE or another app that uses the Internet then the Vodafone APN activates and the apps send their traffic over this connection.
One issue I have is that there is no way to disconnect only one APN connection, when you click 'disconnect' both APN connections are closed, however a few seconds later the BBC one reactivates.
EDIT: Sorry, scratch that... For some reason I though you were using BBC - don't ask me why, obviously my brain was wandering elsewhere. But back to your original problem. I don't use Exchange ActiveSync and I don't know if you can configure ActiveSync to use a specific APN like BBC? You might be able to configure the Exchange Servers URL to be in your Exceptions list so it uses your 'My Work Connection' instead of the 'My ISP' and therefore uses a different APN? I am not sure if it would work, but worth trying?

I wish to know -- where are the WIFI settings held-(I do a lot of tweaking for my HD and sometimes I mess it up, but the guy who knows wifi password of my place, lives in Garkalne, Im in Adazi ( about 10 km difference)--my wifi goes only about 20m )
So I need to backup my wifi settings or atleast the password -- where is the password held -- in registry, windows, anywere --- just name it and how to get there!!??
well access your wireless router with the provided ip address.
i think it may be 192.168.1.1 and you will easily see it around wireless security.

Sorry -- I didnt understand that --- can you give me a step by step
My wifi network is password protected it has two networks 1.- provides internet, password protected.;;;;; 2.- doesnt provide internet, not password protected, Its for those cases when he forgets the password for the 1st network so he can bypass it and go straight to the internet-- I dont know how he does it
Im still learning English
The security information is stored within your WIFI router.
As to how to access and maintain it, it varies from manufacturer to manufacturer. I have five different ADSL modem/router in the past few years and all of them has different way of getting into the configuraiton menu. Some needs me to type in 10.1.1.1, the others uses different address. You need to refer to your user manual for your equipment (if you can't find it , make a call to your ISP's support center, and they will definitely be able to tell you).
Once you're in the configuration menu. navigating to the place where the security setting is kept again differ in each case, and again you should read your user manual to find out, or call up your ISP's support centre for help.

It's in Start/setting/connection/WIFI/Advance.
The Main tab lets you change which WIFI network you want to connect to. When you click on change network, you can pick whichever one that shows as available. Once you click on it, if that access points requires Authentication, by clicking the next button you will specify all the details such as network key, etc.
Hope this is what you're looking for.
The power mode tab lets you specify if you want more performance or battery life
----> when I enter the password for the wifi network-- I wish to know where my THD saves the password----the guy who knows wifi password doesnt give it to me so I want to find it on my device---where is it saved on blackstone
Ok i think everyone is confused now.
Please explain in detail what you want to do again.
He doesn't know the wifi password to "his" network because the guy who knows the password won't give it to him.
He's asking if a plaintext version of the password is saved in the Touch HD somewhere for "his" network.
I find it a little sus that he doesn't know the password for "his" own network, or that the person who set it up won't give him the password, so he's trying to find it this way.

Thats right--- btw im 15 years old- so he doesnt trust me the password!!!
So is there a plain text version of the password on THD
i would like to know it too because at school i dont know the password to the internet , it was just typed into the touch HD. thanks
This hack has been around forever but I figured I would mention it because surprisingly few people know about it:
DO THIS:
Settings > Wireless > Wifi Settings > Menu (Button) > Advanced > Use Static IP (check this) > DNS1 Settings (set to 208.67.222.222) > DNS2 Settings (set to 208.67.220.220) > Reboot
Not all roms will allow you to access this, but if yours does, give it a try.
WHAT IT DOES:
When you enter a name like Amazon in your browser, before going to Amazon it needs to translate "Amazon" into an IP address. This can be SLOOOOW. By setting your DNS servers, you give it one single IP address to go to for all IP address translations - i.e., it's faster.
This is an old PC hack and I wasn't sure it would work on a phone but we tried it out over at another forum and everyone was getting MUCH faster page opens in their browsers. Many said their Market was working faster too.
Give it a shot and see what you think. Good luck

Oh yeah, it's free so no worries.
Wont you run into problems if you move off your home network. Some networks wont give you the static ip you want.

Dunno. Seemed to have sped up my 3G as well. If it doesn't work you can just uncheck the static ip thing when away from home.

Yea that's what I figured. Also I use google dns. 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 its easier to remember.

eh most of the time you wont have to jump more than 1 or 2 DNS servers to sort your IP, than that IP is sent down those on the way back to you for future reference(until a hold down timer expires most likely)
gosh, hope that makes sense =P

Nevertheless, this is faster.
OP, your link leads to a website that appears to require a sign-up to continue, is there a link that doesn't?
Also, while I can see how this may help with a Wi-Fi signal, how is it you've experienced faster 3G? Just curious, thanks.
First, this isnt a hack
Second, you're changing dns for your wifi, not 3g.
Thanks for the reminder though, but does any know if you can change your 3g dns?

##data(3282)# / edit mode / there are plenty of settings to mess with here (and mess things up too, but here is where you can find what you are looking for)
btw... you will need your msl to enter edit mode
I wouldn't go around fooling with the sprint default dns it could cause problems.
Isn't that the opendns ip? Who cares... this is not a hack... at all. I use 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 anyway.

You don't have to sign up, just use the DNS addresses given:
DNS1: 208.67.222.222
DNS2: 208.67.220.220
That's all you need.
LOL at people thinking hard setting dns servers = hacking.
Setting up DNS does not speed up browsing. It might speed up the initial resolving of the website if the current dhcp dns server is slow.
Thanks for the good laugh tho.
Now if somebody could post how to change WiMAX DNS servers, that would be much more interesting... for a variety of reasons...
I recall this being missing in Android 2.x last I dealt with it, but I would have thought they added it by 3.0. And yet I can't find proxy settings anywhere on my newly bought Xoom. Is it just me being blind, or is it really not there?
Yes it is still missing, along with Cisco VPN support...
This makes this tablet pretty useless in a corporate environment... iPad works damnit!
I'm necro'ing this thread, but I found out that HTTP Proxy Settings from the market works just fine to expose the native Setting's Proxy page. I have no idea why it's disabled, but it works just fine for me! I just barely got it working, so I hope the setting is per WiFi network, as I'll have to clear it when I get back home, which would suck.
HTTP Proxy settings is not working with my xoom. Ran the app and it shows a blank Proxy screen.
Restarted Xoom. No change.
Do I need to root?
Not sure if this will work on the Xoom but on my phone I've created a Proxy shortcut using Any Cut. New shortcut > Activity > Proxy. Works well as long as you don't need proxy authentication.
Use Firefox Mobile
Use Firefox mobile and go to the add ons section and install the proxy mobile add-on. After you install it, go to proxy mobile from your add-on and enter your proxy settings.
I don't know how many users here are on t-mobile with the Z1s and using the VPNs from your phone, but this is a necessity for me. After finally getting around to it I found out real quick that it didn't work, and recently found a post on their support forum confirming this as well as a workaround for it.
http://support.t-mobile.com/thread/60804
The above is specific to T-Mobile, but not to the Z1s, so I wanted to go ahead and add my experience, which is specific to the Z1s:
For some reason I was unable to edit the APN settings. I called T-Mobile support and they told me they can't help with VPN issues because it is the IT department of my companies problem (that would be me... and yes i know the vpn works). They told me if i wanted to access the APN settings i needed to unlock the phone? But I'm impatient so here is what I did for the Z1s specifically I just created a new APN with the same settings, and basically all you need to do is chang the protocol from IPv6 only to IPv4/IPv6 :good:
And now VPN works!
P.S. If this should be in a more general sub-forum please let me know/feel free to move it. :good:
I use private internet access VPN and their apps works fine for me. Did not need to modify anything. Just entered username/pw and connect. Have not tried the phone using a corporate work VPN though.

The problem seems to be if your endpoint is using IPv4, since the TMO network seems to be on IPv6 (though it may depend on the area). Also, this is using IKEv1 IPSEC VPNs through built-in android VPN settings. I also tried NCP's VPN client (3rd party app).
I think tmo should set their default profile to IPv4/IPv6.
I noticed sometimes I don't have data connection even though at full bars.
After I create a new profile with IPv4/IPv6, I don't have this problem any more.
