I've just had to nandroid restore my /system partition to yesterday's backup due to ASProxy completely screwing over my internet settings. After configuring and activating the ASProxy service, I could utilise the WiFi proxy just fine. However, when I turned off the service it would seem that the proxy settings stuck and wouldn't budge, even if I removed them from ASProxy.
Is this because my Legend is S-ON, and I have not enabled aufs? Or do I have the complete wrong end of the stick?
This proxy app has no control at all over the system partition, so restoring the system partition won't do much. I don't fully understand the problem though

Basically, this;
I installed ASProxy and set up a WiFi proxy. I connected to the internet through the WiFi proxy which worked just fine. I then deleted the proxy settings and then the ASproxy service and I could not connect to the internet at all, through either WiFi or 2G/3G.
Restoring my /system from nandroid fixed the issue.
Well, now you don't seem to have a question.
After disabling the proxy did you change apn settings?

I did not touch the APN settings throughout the entire process.

This is true.
If I use the program again next time I'll check the APN settings before I nandroid.

I too had the same problem.. All you had to do is uninstall asproxy and reboot the device.. It works..

My nexus one after root APN is not working. Any idea! Please help.

Do you use market enabler? When I set T-Mobile settings in market enabler, all the APN settings switches to T-Mobile. When I restore settings from Market enabler, or reboot my device, Everything goes back and my provider APN settings comes back (I am on Cyanogenmod, only need to choose correct default APN, since my provider has different packets with different access points and then it remains).

A little more info might be useful.
What provider are you on? What is your current APN set up? What ROM are you using (stock or otherwise)? What method did you use to root? As asked by dolphin777, do you have any apps installed that would impact the APN settings?
My issue was I had numbers in the apn when it should just be two lines. Cbw, wap.gocbw.com

Maybe check if something's happened to the APN settings / if they have been disabled?
Settings -> Wireless & Networks -> Mobile Network Settings
What am I looking for? I havent changed anything?

Sounds like a network issue, you need to call your carrier.

well .. if your phone didn't need any additional configuration for APN during your very first use, then I guess, as princeasi just mentioned, you might have to check with your network operator for help..
the reason why i told tht you might have to define the APN settings is because, for me, I had to manually add the APN, username /password in order to get access to my carrier's data network ...
maybe you could browsing on this link: http://modmyi.com/wiki/index.php/Carrier_APN_Settings#Italian_Networks
for APN settings..
that link is meant to help configure iPhone APN settings (Android has a lot more parameters to define) .. but the details shud still work with your NexS
(for eg. all settings for my carrier were the same as what were already on my phone by default.. the only thing i had to configure manually was the u/name, password and APN name)
Hope that helps...
I let it auto reconfigure everything and it came back .. not sure what happened

i'm having the strangest problem, my browser cant connect using mobile internet, but it works perfect on wifi. opera works fine via mobile or wifi, so does market. i've read some similar forums which suggest the problem is in proxy settings, which i cant find.
i've tried reflashing prety much everything, so any suggestion would be most appreciated.
edit:
i figured it works in stock rom, but doesnt work in cm or wildpuzzle. i did a format od system/data/cache/sd and it still doesnt work. i tought it had sth to do with google backup (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=867143), but it doesnt seem so, because it still didnt work after clean install wothout syncing to google at all.
is there any similar config tool in android btowser to about:config in mozilla?

found the problem...
it was the proxy in apn what caused trouble. but it was way stupid situation. 1stly, apns are auto downloaded from network in my case, and as such i treated them as correct. and 2dly, i tried to clear that exact same proxy before, but it didnt cross my mind i have to reboot when i changed something as simple.
the cause of some apps still working and others didnt was probably that the ones which worked didnt use proxy at all.
anyways, problem solved, me happy. thanks for help...
I replied to a similar problem on this forum some time ago. Maybe it would apply to other people having similar issues.
was having a similar problem yesterday after I upgraded the OS on my phone.
Let me describe what I am using:
HTC Glacier with Cyanogen 7 ROM including Google Apps.
I installed TransProxy 3.08beta and a few other applications, made some config changes, enabled / disabled proxy a few times and later on the browser application that was included with the ROM would not connect to 3G data. It was working fine on WiFi. However Opera worked fine on either. Also other apps like market worked fine.
This is what fixed it for me:
1. Disable proxy in TransProxy
2. Create a shortcut for system proxy settings on home screen:
long press on home screen > custom shortcut > pick your activity > activities > settings > Proxy Settings(.ProxySelector)
3. Open proxy settings using the shortcut
4. Clear settings using 'Clear' button
5. Save
After this the browser started connecting to 3G data.
Hope this helps.
Cheers

Proxy is a host through which you can access a particular network (in this case internet) from your device. Your device can be a phone or a pc or a tablet or anything that needs to connect to this network. If proxy settings are configured on your phone then the phone will always try to access the internet through that proxy host, even if direct connection is possible. After clearing those proxy settings, my problem was resolved.
Hello there,
I have the latest Aurora ICS version, but when I enable mobile data and try to download MMS, nothing happens, I simply can't transfer them.
Any ideas how I can fix this?
Thanks a lot, it would really help.
Do you have the mms profile properly configured according to your network provider(APN)? And did you make sure your data is really enabled in the settings->mobile networks?

Just google "APN MMS yourprovider". Take an example and fill it in. Report back if it works

yep exactly after that you just need to go to settings->mobile network-> access points names and create a new option with the settings that you obtained from the web. or you could just call your service provider and ask for the mms apn or profile

Just toggle it off in data usage and don't toggle it on again. You can't permanently disable it. (It's a smartphone after all and it is meant to use the internet.)

Edit the APN n give some weird proxy and address, this should make sure that a conncetion is not established.
Also setting a global proxy will make sure you do not get data.
But if you disable the data no app can force it on.
Apart from that there is no way to disable data permanantly ( Android is meant to stay connected, thats how google wanted it )
Wipe data, wipe cache and dalvik cache. Maybe solved
