Hi guys,
Sorry if this thread is a bit noobie but I'm still learning the ropes of android development
I was wondering is their any apps/hacks that allow you to set the web browser proxy settings for a WiFi connection? It's just I'm at work where we use a proxy to filter websites and I need some way of changing the setting on my phone to view websites
I've done a quick search around google/these forums but I can't find much info about it as everything seems to point towards 3G proxy settings.
I hope you can help,
Cheers!

Basically I am searching for somewhere on the net that can help me to understand the connection settings in Windows Mobile.
While i can play around with settings and eventually get a connection to work with my service provider, i would rather really understand what i am doing. For example, which connection settings are used when? Wap or Web? How does Windows mobile decide. And how about MMS, and what connection does that use? What exactly does the "work" setting do? I just want to try and understand how it works.
Is there somewhere on the net to read up and understand the settings? Maybe some MS sites?
Again, a specific setting with my service provider is not the problem. I want to understand how it all fits together.
Any help would be appreciated. thanks.

Google is your friend!
... or maybe you want someone to find a spoon.
Well, apparently i am way too dumb to usefully engage Google, as i have searched numerously for an answer. All I am able to find is specific settings for particular carriers. This is not at all what i am searching to learn.
So, yes, if you have a "spoon" then i would appreciate being spoon fed.
"And how about MMS, "
mms use the connection you set it up to do in most cases it use grps with mms or something like that as accesspoint
"and what connection does that use? What exactly does the "work" setting do? I just want to try and understand how it works."
connect your pda to activesync and use your pc's network to surf
use wifi to surf use bluetooth to surf and you're using work as network
isp or what it's called on your device is only for grps
want to know more

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.

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 guys,
Has anyone been able to configure proxy over wifi? I changed the connection to My Work Network, and changed entered the proxy settings for this connection, but internet is not working for Internet Explorer and Wheater. The only thing I'm able to use is opera, going to the opera:config option and setting the proxy server there.
Using this solution http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1990412#post1990412, the first time I tried to browse with IE, I was asked for the proxy setting (inside the browser), but I'm not able to do it again.
Hope someone knows the trick.
Dear seniors
NEED YOUR HELP AS SOON AS POSSIBLE….
I’m wondering if there is away or application to setup WAP on windows phone 7, because I’m not capable to add proxy and port setting as I can in ANDROID and windows mobile 6.5…
Thx in advance
Best regards MOIISSE
If you have one of the Custom WP7 roms out there (not the original DFT_70 thing) open up the marketplace and under HTC apps, there should be Connection Setup. Download that.
It should automatically detect your APN and configure it for you, if not manually select your APN and you should be good.
Thanks for your quick reply
I tried connection setup, and I did choose my carrier connection setting, but I wasn’t capable to browse into my explorer.
Cause I need to configure manually the proxy and the port in WAP setting.
NB: that’s what I did in the last android ROM I installed on my beloved HD2
Hope you can tell me about a way to add the proxy in the APN
Thx in advance Mr ceo4eva

Same as Moiisse
you can see the wap or APN selection tag from the selection menu in (connection setup)
but,in fact you can't change or edit the proxies or ports as they are hidden.
therefore,the question is how the setup is reading and what it reads' from the network (proxies,ports,passwords,etc...we can't access these information.(as w 6.5 or Android phones)
is HD7 a 3G phone only....?!?!?
tnx moisse for this issue...and i hope someone can solve it!! registry code or something to unhidden these infos.

need help dear cheafs...
Hi all. I have been trying for a long time to get the internet to work (on my Samsung Galaxy S II) while being connected to my university's WiFi. My university provides passwords to some of it's access points. I successfully connected to the access point (Student), but the internet didn't not work. Also connected to a second access point, still nothing
My university runs on a proxy network and so certain details need to be entered into the device's browser. The proxy settings for my university's internet are: Address: proxy.xx.yy (second and third set hidden for privacy) and Port: 8080. My friend got his internet working on his iPhone, as there was a screen to add these proxy settings. People have also got the internet to work on their laptops by entering those settings. However I have looked everywhere but can't seem to find the proxy settings screen on my Galaxy S II. Help would be much appreciated.
Add a Wi-Fi network under Wi-Fi settings (not sure which Android version you have as I'm going off of CM 10.1) and there is a checkbox for advanced options then it should be there.

I found those options and got the internet working. Thanks. However only my default internet browser works. Firefox, skype, whatsapp and other apps dont work. What method can I use to rectify this?
