S8 Pie WiFi Proxy Setting - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

Hi there,
Although the proxy setting for WiFi is still there in the Advance sub menu, but I can't seemed to get it work anymore.
I used the exact same setting, internet connection is still working but it is bypassing the proxy server.
Any work around or fix?
Thank you.

yeah i also have this problem. it seems that once you set the proxy settings and exit wifi settings it goes back to the default settings :|

tmo proxy and wifi

I'm sorry if this has already been brought up.
Does anyone know how to tell wifi not to go through tmo's proxy? Every time I use the wifi connection I have to remove the proxy settings under the tmo proxy settings and then put it back when I'm done.
if it can't be done can someone tell me how to go about making a batch (or cab in this case) file that will set then unset this proxy?
Does anyone have any solutions to this or it's working the way it's supposed on your MDA's?
instead of messing with the proxy settings. just choose a different connection that does not connect to the internet when you want to use wifi.

I had the same problem. This is what I did to resolve.
got to start menu,settings,connections,then connentions again. then go to advanced, then select networks In the first box put my isp.(or create it). In the second box should be your t-zones settings.(dont edit)then hit ok twice and then exit to today screen. Give this a try, it worked for me.
The reason this is happening is because the proxy servers used by all major carriers are only available from inside thier network. Im not sure if it is because of DNS records are not provided from outside their network. Once you connect to the WiFi network, the proxy server is unreachable.
For other purposes than this, I have 2 networks setup. One with all the proxy settings for the cingulara network and one that doesn't have the proxy settings. Its easy enough to change when you just have to select a different network to connect to the "internet" with.
Can't have proxy server set up and use wifi too....
My first wizard had defective wifi card. I spent numerous hours with the tmobile support and HTC support to try and get it to work. The first thing they had me check was to disable proxy settings. Both tech supports straight out told me you can't have both. I once saw some thread where someone adjusted a lnk file or registry value so that when wifi was turned on, the proxy settings were disabled;when turned off they were re-enabled.
Hope that helps, Jess
I have a HTC Wizard running WM5. I am running a connection with proxy settings and one without. I can turn on wifi connect to IE and then turn off wifi. Re-open IE and gprs will connect and then load page. I did'nt need to use any special registry settings.

wifi uses proxy settings from my GPRS connection?

I have a proxy setup to allow me to connect to T-mobile's internet. I noticed that when the proxy is enabled in connection settings, my wifi does not connect to websites. However, when I disable the proxy from my gprs connection wifi works fine.
Is this normal? Is it maybe a bug with the rom im using?
Normal.
...
I have searched everywhere and instead of starting another post on the same issue I will post on this one.
I have the same issue, and understand its normal. Is there a way around this because re typing in proxy settings just to go on gprs internet is a annoying and incovienent. I want to be able to go on wifi and have everything work fine. When I disconnect wifi I can then access the internet via gprs proxy.
AT&T included both an enable proxy cab and a disable proxy cab...
However Im in the process of moving and my main computer is down...
When I get it back up I'll pull those cabs off of the phone, perhaps they will work for tmobile..beats going into the connection settings...
After all of this I found a fix.

Someone should really sticky this because this helps so much especially since I like not having to pay for my T-mobile internet via the proxy. Now I dont have to delete the proxy. My activesync and wifi work flawlessly as well as GPRS Edge.

Is there a way to keep your proxy settings from being overwritten?

My wife uses her T-Mobile MDA (Wizard) to sync with her computer at at work. She also uses a proxy method to access the internet (on the go). Her job uses proxy settings and when she connects, it overwrites the proxy settings that she uses to access the internet when she's not connected to the computer. So basically, we have to put the proxy and modem settings in everytime she disconnects from active stink. Didn't have this problem until her job changed buildings and internet settings.
Is there any way to keep the settings from being overwritten? I've tried adding a second set of proxy settings with the same info having both the work proxy and the T-Mobile proxy. But what ever settings the phone is on, the work proxy will overwrite them with it's own. My wife uses her MDA to sync with her computer at at work.

Is there any way to keep the settings from being overwritten? "Allow wireless connection on device when connected to the desktop" is not checked. Checked that, and it still overwrites the settings. Very frustrating! How do you manage multiple proxy settings?
