You've tried setting the system-wide proxy (using Internet Options -> Connection)? That should apply to most if not all apps.

Want to use metro app bt how proxy creates problem. In internet option only i can surf internet nothing else.....

I lost all Internet access during a call. WiFi Tethering went and then I lost all access.
That sucks.

I'm using the wireless tethering for root user, the newest one for the facinate.

Share files through a created wifi hotspot

So I had this idea for a longer time now.
I'd like to access the files on my galaxy tab through for example my iPod. Therefore I'd like to create a wifi hotspot that just simply gives access to these files.
Is this possible?
It should be possible if I share my internet connection with the iPod through a mobile hotspot.
But I'd like to save my mobile data plan.
The other way round: iPod -> tab probably wont work because of iOs's limitations right?
Is this possible at all? Or can't the tab create a network structure that would allow this.
It should, shouldn't it? It can share the mobile data, so it should be able to share files?

DLNA
If you change a file name to a DLNA supported extension than you can probably transfer from one device to another. Then when on the other device just change the extension back.
Okay I have no idea what Dlna is, I just know its something with servers.

I believe you are looking for an app called: WiFi File Explorer. With free version you can download files from Tab, with full version you can also upload files to it.
I think I wasnt precise enough. I want the tab to be the wifi hotspot.
When I'm out in the dessert, there's no wifi hotspot in sight, I still wanna be able to access the files on my tab.
Wifi explorer is working with a hotspot, I just can't seem to download files with free version.

Digital living network alliance. Unless you want to share multimedia files, it's useless for you. The tab has a client / server app installed, AllShare.
A little question : why not just use the hotspot feature? I doubt that in the desert you'd be able to connect to the network and spend money accidentally.
That aside, I'd use FTPServer on the tab to share the files, and whatever ftp client you want to access them.
Still there's the issue on how to connect everything...
Sharing from the iPod would work the same way, with the limitation that the files to share need to be in the server folder.

Okay I've got ftpserver installed, but I've got no idea what to enter into the blanked out fields.
Btw. How can I make a mobile accesspoint, when I haven't got a 3g connection?
That option is just greyed out when I haven't got mobile data!

Really? Well, that's unexpected. About the settings, just fill them as you wish. But remember what you used, don't just input random stuff: that data needs to be input into the client as well.

So I entered the stuff into ftpserver, started the server.
I can't access it through a webserver neither with my desktop nor the iPod touch.
I just get some error that its not availible.
Ftpserver has in its logs then, that it blocked because the standard directory doesn't exist on those devices.
If I change the directory to "/" it stills doesn't work on the PC.

Nope, you are doing it wrong : what you need to connect is an ftp client, try Cyberduck on Windows.
Also, while I don't think it would be an issue, try to set the server on /sdcard no need to get access to the whole system ( if that even works)
An ftp client for the iPod... hard to tell, looks like all of them aren't free.

I just send files back and forth with bluetooth. No 3g connection required.
Sadly I don't have a Bluetooth USB stick and Joseph (wtf fail autocorrect: iOs) doesn't allow filetransfair for Bluetooth.

That's not entirely true, I forgot the name, but on Cydia there is an app to handle the whole Bluetooth file sharing issue. Might not be free however.

Jep i know that.
Its called ibluenova and it didn't even work on 3.x, it was quite buggy. on ios 4.x it doesn't work at all.
so that is no option.

When I have to, I share between devices (laptop, phone) with a dropbox. Also by email. But that means a data connection.
Try "file expert" app. Then set your tab as a "mobile access point" using the standard wi fi settings.
When you start file expert the tab becomes a web server (it tells you what address to use and lets you set login & password)
Then open browser on your "other" device --enter the address from step above and then browse your Tab.
I tried this in the office recently with an ipad owning colleague & he was browsing my photo collection in less than a minute.

file expert its working very nicely.
Only problem is that it uses data.

Hi Diemex
Are you sure it's "using data"?
File Expert should work if you switch off your 3G and create your own private wifi network.
Glad it's working for you.

Theres definetly data that's caused by file expert. That's what 3g watchdog says.
The upload of file expert is quite precisely the filesizes of what I viewed.
Probably it even charges me double data, I think it will be uploaded first and then downloaded again via the hotspot.
Its not possible to create a hotspot without a data connection. I tried the IP I get from Fe to cennect to is also "localhost".

I would like to make a http proxy to tunnel my data connection through it.
Anyone?

The best way to do it is install something like squid and ssh on a computer you have at home them tunnel in with ssh and forward a local port to the squid proxy server at home. That's what i used to do to get around content filters at libraries so i could get on Facebook and stuff. You can get all the stuff you need as portable apps on a usb drive.
The easiest way, though, is to just enable a vpn server on your router or computer and use the built in vpn functions on android to route all traffic through the tunnel. The big problem with that is that you cannot use it on an untrusted device because it's like connecting it directly to your home network. Any worms on it can infect any computer at home.
If you need step by step instructions I'd be happy to help with either method, but I'll need to know more specifics about your home setup. If you have a router that supports dd-wrt, there is a great guide to the vpn method in this same forum.

Mobile VPN is the Virtual Private Network. VPN is a private
network system that uses the public internet to tunnel traffic secretly and securely from your phone to a computer network. This allows
you to safely access your Mailbox and other
Internet resources from a limited or unsecure
network connection. (eg - internet cafe).

Hotshot blocking some websites

http 400 is usually due to the "HTTP status code" or "the bad syntax" , Are you on a custom ROM? Any MOD to DNS server setting on your phone ?
