I have a stock X10i on R2BA020 and I want to connect to the wifi in my univeristy. But according to the tech people there, I need proxy settings to login. Thats why they said apparently, BB users cant connect to the wifi there because with BB you cant set a proxy. My question is... Is there anyway to get a proxy for the x10 without rooting it? like a certain app or anything I can download to get some sort of proxy on the phone? or is it a weakness of Android in general?
So the only viable workaround is the app that tricks your browser but you arent allowed to use any of the apps, youtube etc?
thanks for your help!
PS im a noob with networking jargon so excuse me for being a nub

I can't seem to find where to set HTTP/Socks proxy settings for applications using WIFI networking on my Xperia. Basically I'd like to do this so I can use Pandora here in Hong Kong.
Any ideas?
i asked this question before >.> no one answered ;P
Not sure but wouldnt that be dependant on your carrier. might need to look your carriers website
in opera u could try setting them manualy with "opera:config" as URL
never tried it

There's no way you can connect through a proxy with your AP. The connection with the AP (wireless connection) is established directly. If you want to use a proxy when you're connected to the wifi, it is up to the application that you use for browsing/do the networking.
For windows there's Proxycap,..etc., apps that "proxyfies" anything. I don't know if there's one for WM.
There's PUTTY for WM (ssl tunneling software), bot i don't know if this is useful for you.
According to the SE tech support, it is not possible to set up a proxy through WiFi. You need to use a browser that you can enter your proxy setting into, such as SkyFire. That is the only way I have been able to get it working.
Hey everyone!
i was just wondering if there is any way to enable wap for applications in x10?
we can only use the main browser through wap...!
we can't use timescape or facebook or ebuddy or marketplace, track id or any other application.
any solution for this?
Thanks
Is it just me, or are you talking about you're self in third person?
And why do you refer to it as wap? anyway.. I do not have any problems with the internet connection on my phone.

I Goggled proxy server uk and got this http://www.xroxy.com/proxy-country-GB.htm. Try using a web based proxy server form that list. Will be slow but should work (Have not tested on my n1).
I know you're running Froyo and the option isn't there, but cyanogenrom has a proxy for wifi setting. When Cyanogen updates, ya might want to use his rom and you'll have an option.
The easiest thing on Froyo would be to get a VPN. I personally use VyprVPN and it works just fine (even though Hulu has blocked android-devices from seeing any videos). VyprVPN has both a us and a eu based vpn-server, so it should suit most people. I'm also getting speeds in excess of 10Mbps which is pretty impressive.
edit:
Just remembered that you have to have a giganews diamond account to actually use it, oh well there are probably other similiar services around.
I recently bought this device, but I am disappointed since there are no wifi proxy settings.
I rooted it and installed trans proxy, proxymator etc,
but i cant use the web through wifi proxy,

I mean using google services and browsing by through a proxy on wifi

You can do PPTP vpn if u need to, web proxy is so last century..
There's no wifi proxy baked into android. This makes it useless for most enterprise networks, I.e. you can't use an android with a radius server for enterprise WPA authentication and proxy. Apparently we might be getting it in gingerbread.
If you look in the general android discussion there's a kludge that kinda works.
Your other option is to get an iPhone, ios has had support for wifi proxy/ enterprise wpa from the get go.
I know, it's ridiculous, blame Google...

Is it possible to do on X8 ?
It won't work if you are connecting via ad-hoc. You may install connectify to your laptop and use that internet connection for your x8/whatever phone/device.
wifi
Isn't any app that can help up with the proxy settings?
I am beginning to get sick of this phone and this OS, no wifi proxy, no way to install to SD card except of hundreds of steps, google navi doesn't work, get's stucked at the beginning, exagerated price for unlocking...
Try custom Rom.. floyo has proxy in settings
Sent from my X8 using XDA App
As I see you posted in this thread Racht, I ask you how to configure an OpenVPN in Floyo.
Do I have to install something ?
I tried with a .conf file but I don't know where to put the .ca certificate.
I also tried to install OpenVPN config.
Have you got a link to a good tutorial ?
Thanks.
hi, please u check for ASProxy from market, it works for me.. but it is paid version.. and required rooted device only..
I thought about a custom rom, but it seems I couldn't find a stable one here, all have bugs with either bluetooth, camera or gps, and maybe I am too blind to find an xrecovery link to download it.Do you have a link with a good rom? Thanks in advance

ASProxy requires your phone to be rooted and iptables are required.

Where? - I have been try your great Floyo 1.0b and CM7-138 but I cannot find it.
Hello,
I haven't found anything quite related to what I'm looking for (similar, but involving the GPRS vs WiFi settings)
I'm curious if anyone knows of an app that when you connect to a WiFi network, it will automagically set the proxy server and port required for that WiFi network? One WiFi network I use requires a proxy, but the rest do not. It's annoying to have to change it all the time. It would be great to find an app that when it detects I've connected to the wifi that requires the proxy it figures out which one I'm connected to (either via BSID, ESSID, SSID, MAC etc) and sets the proxy if required. Heck a shell script on a rooted phone could do the setting just fine, but it's the first part I'm stuck with.
Thanks!
I've been looking for an app like this too. My school makes me use a proxy but my home does not and it sucks having to change it every time I go to school or home.

Go to Settings -> Wireless and Network -> Wifi, then press the Menu button and press advanced settings.
Hey, so this doesnt do exactly what you want, but its a quick and easy thing. Search the forums, or just google "xda transproxy" I use it now, and the latest beta is very stable. Connects to my schools proxy, and everything works. Or, download orbot from the market..but i personally dont like it, too many steps to do a simple thing. But, to each their own. Anywho, just search and download, and install with your file manager of choice, make sure you set up the port, and ip address before you start the proxy. oh..and on my droid incredible, with virtous 3.1, I had to reboot before I could access the market. Your results may very.

Dude, that did pretty much exactly what I wanted and so much more. Before I could only use the Internet Browser but now I can use any app. I love this app.
Going to give it a try myself, thanks!
OMG Hopefully this works on my x10 android 2.1update1
thanks bro

ASProxy
I think ASProxy is what you need. For every WiFi network you connect to, you can specify which proxy to use. Besides that, it does NTLM-authentication as well, which is often required in corporate environments.
First I used TransProxy for quite some time, which is great if you only use 1 WiFi network with a proxy (you can use other WiFi networks without the proxy) and don't need NTLM authentication. Then I discovered ASProxy (found a review on android-machines.blogspot.com) which is great, if you need different proxy settings for each WiFi network.
