Hi,
This is a common problem for most of the android devices, I guess. I bought my Nexus 4 only a couple of weeks back. I haven't rooted it yet. However I was told that I will be able to use internet normally in my university where the internet connection is made through a proxy server.
The problem is I am only able to access internet through my browser. None of my apps - Gmail, Whatsapp, Facebook, etc. are not working.
Can someone help me out?
Hi,
Try with Drony or SandroProxy.

Hello,
I was working on adding some additional functionality to the IM client I got from here code.google.com/p/simple-android-instant-messaging-application/. Can anyone help me out with the issues I am facing?
Note: I am using emulator and not the original phone
Issue #1
I cannot connect to Google chat to retrieve the contact list or begin chat. Same issue is with yahoo and other clients. I tried using simple IM but the issue is that It says cannot establish a secure connection. I tried out HTTPS sites in my browser and I cannot access them. I can only access normal sites. I am behind a proxy and I have set the proxy in the phone settings. Only normal sites are accessible.
Any help?
Hi all,
I am able to connect my HTC Hero (now on Android 2.1) to 3G but the problem is, I am only able to browse the Internet (even then, it seems to have problems with https).
All the other apps don't work - Facebook, Twitter, Foursquare, etc.
I'm thinking this might have something to do with the proxy settings on the Hero. Just a theory - maybe only the browser on the Hero is able to respect proxy settings.
I have tested my SIM on another phone (my old E71) and it seems to work without any issues using the Gravity application.
Any pointers on why this could be happening?
Regards,
Matt
Hi There,
when surfing the web through our smartphones we frequently use WiFi free networks, the problem is that there is an add on for firefox, 'FireSheep',
that reviels our login info for our facbook, gmail and even bank accounts
is there any firewall or anything else that can avoid such info theaft?

Yes, install the plugin "blacksheep" which can alert you if someone is using it, by spoofing cookies for it to "steal".
Use a VPN though if you are concerned. Wifi without encryption isn't secure, and you can expect any cookies to be sniffed when using it.
Not for Android nor WP7 nor iOS AFAIK.
Just try to avoid using any app that doesn't encrypt communications. How would you know that? I don't know of any studies or papers about this... so test at home using wifi!
For browsing the web just avoid to login in any web through http, do it all over https.

Hi there,
I'm having a bit of a strange problem that I haven't found anywhere in the forum:
1)running froyo superram V 1.5.
2) 2.12.50 radio
3)energy rom dec 13 version
during install i cannot connect to my google account via 3g /hdspa / umts or whatever the data connection through my mobile phone provider is. wlan no problem.
after having done so and switching wireless lan off and only using my mobile phone data plan i can:
a) suft the web through the internet browser using mobile data connection (so i assume my apn settings are ok, [i'm with eplus, germany])
b)but i cannot ping the web in the settings dialog, nor can i use the marketplace or use any other internet using application
c) all of the above, i.e. marketplace work through wifi
what can i do? and why is this a selective issue????
any help and input is appreciated!

data connection
I am having the same issue. Everything works fine except web related apps, unless i'm connected to wifi.
dear thomygunz72,
you may have misunderstood me and i don't want to get this question taken off the intendet track:
i can browse the web without wifi using my mobile data connection.
at the same time i'm on the web using mobile data, none of the other inet related apps work!
so I'm not one of the regular cases in which mobile data connection doesn't work at all, it however only works SELECTIVELY!
thats my problem.
hope anyone might be able to help!
Just wondering if you found a resolution to this issue, as i am having the same problem.
Internet app is ok, email and gmail apps are fine, however anything else just "fails to respond to server" when trying to use them, including the XDA app and facebook and twitter.
Any help to this would be greatly appreciated.
I don't see why you can access the internet but not via applications. That sounds a bit fishy to me, and I'd personally be tempted to try a different ROM and see if the problem persists.
First of all though, I would definitely check my APN settings to make sure they're correct. You should be able to find the info you need here...

From the home page, bring up the menu and go to settings, wireless & networks, mobile networks, access point names. Check the selected values in there against the values on the site linked above.
browser works just fine but internet applications dont
I found a few posts about my problem, but no solution whatsoever. I got and HD2 using Nexus One ROM, the thing is I use the default browser with no problems but when I try to run facebook, twitter, downloading files or google talk there's an error message saying that there was an error and I should try later or there was a timeout. I checked my APN and everything is the way it is supposed to be. I figured so since I can browse perfectly. Is there an option where I can force applications to use the APN I set up? I hope you can help me on this matter.
Hello,
in the past few days a have been trying to connect my samsung i5801 to the university network through VPN.
This forum has been a giant source of information and therefore I was able to create the VPN-connection I need (thank you XDA!!!).
I am now able to read my Gmail and visit the Android-market but that is about it. Apparently it is nog possible to download apps or to check my other email-accounts, not even facebook. It is pretty important for me to have the internet connectivity, since I have to use the Pubmed-application in search of articles for my thesis and other papers.
Is there any way to make the VPN connection allow me to use the internet? Or is it more likely the problem lies with the ICT-coordination from the university? I have looked at other threads, but so far I haven't found a solution to my problem.
Oh, I use the app VPN Connections (v0.99) because my university uses Cisco.
Greetings,
