Is it possible to input an Automatic Proxy Configuration URL into the Android web browser? This was possible on the iphone but I don't see such an option in the proxy setting of the browser.
It's irritated me since my HTC Desire but for some reason Google left proxies out of Android. There are some third party applications on the Market that will allow you to do it.
Do you know a good third party application?
I used this on my Desire but not tried it on my GS2 yet

Hi!
I've searched nearly the entire internet to find something maching my problem, but i can't find anything.
My Problem is, that Vodafone Germany has got a limitation of usable Ports in some of their Dataplans. That means that i can only use port 80 and 443 through their Proxy server. For Browsing and webmailing this is ok, but if i want to use the market or Wikitude or ShopSavvy for example i need a Wlan to access the internet with this apps.
I logged the Wlantraffic and found out, that most apps are communicating over port 80 and 443. Their not using the Vodafone Proxy because i always get an connection error when i am trying to use it over the cellular network.
So the big main question is: How can i force the apps to use the defined Proxy Server, the browser is allready using?
I need no Username or password for it. Just adress and port.
Is there a way to reroute all traffic through this proxy? Is there an app to set a global proxy? (Not the ones out in the market to set a browser proxy, because they are really only for the browser)
It would be so nice if someone has an idea, because i am looking for weeks now to use the phone on the go with all its extras!
T-Mobile G1 with -Cupcake 1.5 orig. non rooted-

PS: Previously i had a Windows Mobile 6.1 Device and everything was working fine, because all apps were using the proxy server i set in the connection settings.
I search that for a long time too!
I'm in china.I get on Internet use a wap gateway which is called cmwap that only open 80 port.
Now I set proxy from APN setting that could only makes browser to go,but all the other apps couldn't .
I tried gnu http-tunnel in Debian, but that need for a hts the http-tunnel server.
I don't know if I can use something for the Android apps.
My idea was to set a manual route to route all traffic that runs over port 80 and 443 to the vodafone Proxy, but to do that i have to root my phone, and i don't want to do that because i wouldn't loose my warranty.
Maybe there are possibilities in Android 1.5 that came out.
It would be fine if some "Pros" could make an answer.
Necroposting much?
if you just want to bypass the limitation of http proxy,then it's possibile using openvpn over http proxy
openvpn in tcp mode allow client to connect to server through an http proxy.just setup an openvpn server use tcp mode,and install openvpn on your android phone and configure it to use the proxy provided by your isp, that's all.
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.
anyway to use a .pac proxy URL on android?
don't think you can do this,think the phone os not able to understand, why do you need to use pac files?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

I know this is old, but this is an ongoing problem and I figured out how to use a .pac proxy file! After reading about proxy's and what .pac files are, I stumbled upon a little hint and after a little tinkering I was able to use my work's wifi that uses an auto-config .pac file and my phone and tablet has full internet access with browser, apps etc including Netflix for example.
Here are the steps you need:
1) Your phone has to be rooted to take advantage of the proxy apps on the market, I personally use ProxyDroid, which is free and has a feature to bind certain proxy profiles to automatically turn on when a certain wifi network is connected.
2) Usually there is an option that gives you an http proxy pac file to manually input to your browsers or what not, so whatever the link is, put it an active internet browser to download the pac file (an example of the url with the pac file would be something like http://internet.xxxxx.com/proxy.pac)
3) Where ever you download the pac file, open it with notepad or wordpad and this will reveal all the proxy info you need in order to access the proxy enable wifi. What the ProxyDroid app needs from the PAC file is the Host url and Port number. When you open a PAC file in notepad, you'll see something like this near the top along with a bunch of other things under it:
"Cisco Remote Envelope Service
if (dstHost=="internet.e-mail") {
return "PROXY internet-x-x.xxxxxx.com:9090""
- So in "Host" under Proxy Settings in the ProxyDroid app you would input: internet-x-x.xxxx.com
- For the "Port" you would put input: 9090
4) After inputting those 2 pieces of info into the ProxyDroid app, turn the wifi on for your Android Device then enable to ProxyDroid app, you should able to connect to the proxy enabled wifi!
*Some notes for the ProxyDroid app.
- It allows for Authentication, but since my work wifi does not use that, I'm not sure how it would work
- For Proxy type, I set it as an HTTP
- I binded the specific proxy profile to my work wifi so it would ProxyDroid would automatically enable when work wifi was detected
Hope this bit of info helps other that have Android devices and were unable to use a proxy enable wifi to finally access them. Hopefully in the future, Android will make using proxy and pac files a lot easier like how it's done on the ipad where they allow you to manually set up proxy settings by having the device download the PAC file.
I've tested and this works on both a rooted AT&T HTC Inspire and a HP Touchpad running CM7 Alpha

Check out autoproxy on the market. It's my app and it's new. It's the only app that supports proxy.pac proxies directly. Just put the address to the file there, and click connect. It will also auto-connect when you're on the same network again (and disconnect when you're off it) so it's set and forget. It will allow you to use any apps, as long as the port is not blocked by the proxy.
Dtothesquare, that technique will work for simple proxy implementations but some organizations have a cluster of proxy servers that may serve different clients (closer to client without using anycast) or destinations. For example, a proxy server may be set up to just handle *.com while another could handle just internal hosts. It can also be used for sending clients to an alternate proxy server should the primary one be down for some reason.
Our proxy server has ACLs that only let it proxy certain URLs and returns an error if it receives something that's not allowed on that server.
How can I change the user agent in the Samsung browser?
I'm trying to do online banking and it seems to be the only browser that supports client certificates. However the bank only supports IE and FF. If I could just fool it...
Doubt you can do it with the stock browser (at least not easily/don't know if you can do it even 'with difficulty'; not motivated enough to find out).
Just as easy to use FF for when you need to use online banking on your phone, and there are working user agent switchers for FF/Android if you need to stooge a site into thinking you're using IE (Phony/Custom User-Agent String).
What do you guys use for password fill service? I' don't use chrome and only use Samsung internet browser due to fluidness and adblock addons. But none of the password managers work to autofill? I like safeincloud app since you manage the DB in gdrive rather than 3rd party site.
Any options to have safeincloud fill in for Samsung Internet?
