[Q] Help With Proxy - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi All
I want to use my android device with the wi-fi connection at work.
The sad part is I can only access internet via a proxy.
I need to find a way preferably an .apk , via which I can set a proxy.
And the biggest problem is that I have a non-rooted device.
Thanks

As far as I know there isnt an apk for that.
What version of android are you on?
In 2.2 if you goto wireless and network settings and scroll to the bottom then you get proxy settings...
If you dont have it...try wolf Xperia TW v007.1 rom, I am on that and am looking at the proxy settings now.
I too need them to access wifi at work...

Try this out:

Your phone must be rooted though....

I think x10 doesn't have iptables modules installed , I've tried similer apps called proxydroid if I'm not mistaken and although the apps itself is easy to use, the problem seems to be lies in the x10 itself, can anyone verify the iptables module exists in x10?

Thanks everyone for your speedy replies, but the major problem is that I cannot root the device, as its a company asset (will need to take approval from 101 people), so am looking for a way to do the same without the need for rooting the device.
And I cant believe Android has not implemented this yet!!!!
How do they expect to make a presence in the corporate sector, I mean already the sales force in my company are using iPads...its a shame coz you can do so much more with android as compared to iOS....

You can always unrooted by flashing back to stock with SEUS. Your work will never know

Network Proxy Settings

Currently I need to use my device on an enterprise network (peap wifi) and the only way to access wan or the internet is to use their proxy.
I need to use the proxy for http but cannot find anywhere to enter the proxy information, I have tried various apps from market but all have failed. Is there a way to access proxy settings? I'm sure the setting is there but I can't find a way to access it.
What do you guys use?

That just talks about 802.1x/peap. That already works on Android 2.2. (In fact it has worked since Android 1.0's wpa_supplicant, but they didn't expose it in the Android UI till 2.0 I think.) Here's a site with a bunch of proxy options, have you tried them already?

Yes I have tried that site with no luck, below are the ones listed on that site.
TransProxy: Not found on market, found it on sourceforge but it looks just a linux binary, not an apk. Is this still usable on android?
ASProxy: $5 fee, no free version
Proxy Settings Android Application: Requires some survey and won't let me download it.
Open Desire: Requires survey I can't get around. (And looks like a ROM itself)
---------
Others I have found on market:
Proxymator: Crashes when I hit OK
http Proxy Settings: Crashes when I hit OK
GAE Proxy: Does not work (won't let me select port 80)
Any others you can suggest?
Oh and if it matters it is a Squid Web Proxy
-Thanks

Don't think so. I know VPN's don't work, wouldn't surprise me if proxy's don't either.
Okay, because all proxy apks don't work.
Thanks!
It's amazing how you can spend so much time on something like this without providing a single shred of useful information. Like a logcat.
I installed transproxy to test it out. It failed, because our kernel is missing the ipt_REDIRECT module. It took me 2 minutes to install it, get a logcat and look at the error messages to find this problem.
Since all of the proxy apps just use iptables, none of them will work without this iptables module. Simple fix - ask WisTilt2 to add it to the config of the next kernel he builds.

How did you get a logcat that was fine?
All mine ended up corrupt after running transproxy...
Dunno. Maybe you got a corrupted download, it was fine for me.
I've submitted a bug report about the kernel module for you.

thanks ;D
Hopefully that gets added to kernel soon.

How to make android apps to use the HTTP proxy?

When I connect to the student's wifi network, it requiers to configure the proxy with authentification. Well I'm fine with that, and the browser works all right, but all of the apps which require internet access aren't working. I also noticed, that when I'm configuring the proxy in the settings, it actually says that the HTTP proxy will be used by the browser, but not by some of the apps (in my case none of the apps work, including the pre-installed apps like android market, youtube or google maps).
So my question is that is there any way to make the apps work with the HTTP proxy? I should say that I found this thread on this forum:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=836164
but I had trouble understanding it. Also if this matters, I'm using an Asus Eee Pad Transformer running android 3.2.1.
Which part you don't understand? You have to enter into console mode, and type these commands to copy, make the right folder, and start the application/configure it for auto start each boot I presume.

Well, first of all, does this require rooting the device? What is APN? What is the adb shell? How do you enter the console? What is ppp? What is rmnet?
I should say that I've been using android for like a month and I have no experience with Linux and any kind of programming.
Isn't there anyone who has had this problem?
Come on people! Surely I'm not the only one who has had this problem?
Please count me in m having this issue on Galaxy tab using overcome Rom help needed Devss
.
Having the same problem, ISC Xperia S
Me too
Anyone who needs to conect in a proxy server with the solution in wifi configuration offeared by google will not get it. There is some apps that promes to do it but i tried some of them and got tired to tring one by one and they didn't work for me. I tried with full root access and in a ICS cyanogem mod ROM on a acer iconia tab a100 and in a htc 9100
If rooted you could find a way through ifconfig

Ideas?
So is there any way / chance to let an App go online via proxy?
I would love to start my onlineradio App "TuneIn" with a US IP, to be able to hear radio stations in the USA. Is this possible somehow?
I would be very thankfull, even for ideas which could just eventually work!

[Q] Proxy Settings on SGS2

I have an unrooted enterprise SGS2. I cant root it like I have done to my personal device.
I am unable to access certain wifi sections if they are bound by proxy authorisation inspite of knowing the server name and the proxy credentials. THere is no place when I can input the settings.
I cant try the proxyDroid as it works only on rooted devices.
Anybody who knows about proxy settings on android ? Any browser is fine.
Hey abhijit.
Maybe the enterprise got it locked somehow before giving it to you guys.(its really just a stupid thought)
But i would suggest flashing a new rom as that would give you root access as well without really rooting the phone first and then trying to do what you may want to do.
And there are thousands of roms to choose from.
This should solve the issue in my opinion.

1. Goto Wi-Fi settings, long click on the network, select edit , then tick advance settings, you will now see a place for proxy settings and some other advance settings. Input the proxy and save .

Thanks a lot of the reply bro ! But I could do that previously too. my concern is that the proxy is governed by a set of username-password credentials (eg. employee id and password) which i am unable to input there as there is no option for such a thing.
On desktop browser, we get a pop up asking for those credentials. wonder how it is on an android browser as there is no pop-up asking for the proxy credentials.

Now I understand. It's been long i used those kind of networks. I'll advise use to root your phone.
Nowadays, rooting is just too easy as you don't need to flash any kernel to achieve that.

Android 5+ Wifi Repeater / fqrouter2 alternative

Hi all,
I've been looking for quite some time now for a way to turn my phone into a Wifi repeater.
About a year ago I read somewhere about a chinese app called "fqrouter2", which is mainly
used as a vpn tunnel but also has a feature for rooted phones to host a hotspot while being
connected to another wifi network.
The last version of fqrouter2 was released more than a year ago and only supported up to
Android 2.3. While I found quite a few people saying on the Internet that it is possible
on a rooted phone to use the wifi modules for sending AND recieving at the same time,
I was not able to find any alternative app so far.
I have pretty much no programming skills, so I have no idea how hard it is to write such an app,
but I can't believe that I am the only person who wants such a feature for their phone, so maybe
there is something/someone out there which/who could help me?
Regards
Made an account just now to reply, plus xda is awesome.
I hope someone can figure this out, I to need this android 5.0
Bump.
No alternative?! Is this really the only App that can be used as a WiFi-Extender?!
bump.
did my monthly research, still couldnt find any new app/solution to turn my phone into a wifi repeater
Would be great to find an alternative in case this app ceased to update.

Issues with VPN ad blockers

On the Mate 10 ALP-L29 with firmware 8.0.0.115 (C636)
Having significant issues with NetGuard or Adguard for blocking ads - the internet connection is spotty and hangs up often when the VPN is in place. Happens across all apps that need a connection.
Refreshing multiple times sometimes makes the connection work. Then the connection will work for a while before going on the fritz again.
Wifi/4g will stay connected but no data flowing in.
Once I disconnect the VPN then it will work fine without interruptions.
Anyone having the same issue? Not sure if this is a Mate 10 specific issue or an Oreo issue.

Oh wow I don't see any more ads on chrome using dns66 I downloaded it on F-droid app. Thanks
Does anyone here know how to get DNS 666 working in conjunction with a VPN running in the background. I need a VPN to be running for my job and I also want to be able to block ads. And I know DNS 666 uses a VPN workaround to be able to function correctly on non-rooted devices. So has anyone been able to get DNS 666 working in conjunction with a third-party VPN?

I don't think it's possible. All other VPN ad blockers go off when I connect to my proper VPN provider. You can only have one key symbol on your notification bar.
DNS66 is probably a little better than the other VPN ad blockers in that my connection is less interrupted but it's still occasionally not working and when it doesn't work I still need to refresh multiple times to get the connection going.
No one else has this issue?

Yeah, AFAIK, we can only get one VPN working at one time,
And i never found a true perfrct vpn bases ad blocking, dns66 is one of the best i can suggest,
But if you really need full solution for your ads and vpn, then i would suggest to go rooting,
I already rooted my mate 10, so i can use adaway tigether with my tigervpn.

About that,
How about trying it by yourself
download attached .xml file and place it to /system/vendor/etc
change permissions to 644
What changed ?
BETA : Try to balance the volume gain between earpiece and main speaker. Currently i adjust it to have around 4dB extra gain.

@otonieru, please could you tell me, after rooting, do you still receive OTA updates on your mate 10?
I'm highly interested in rooting, but up to now there's so little information on rooting available.
I also wonder if there will be TWRP for the mate 10...

OTA still received. But you will lost your root if you decide to flash the update.
And rooting will erase your userdata
But using huawei backup tool, it can easily restored
@otonieru i have downloaded the files for rooting the device but before i proceed any further do i need to have the credits at funky huawei? Or i can just proceed without it? Just in case i have open up the wrong file. Can u tell me which file u used for rooting? Because i don't see a superuser file in the folder. Some extra guidance would help a lot. First time rooting a non samsung phone. Thanks in advance
AdGuard works fine with me. I am unrooted. DNS66 didn't work well with me. Ad boxes still showing.

No need credit for rooting. It only needed to rebrand.
Choose something named "FunkyHuawei..." its a .bat file if am not mistaken (curently far away from my PC)
It will open CMD windows, and there wouldnbe a list of option you can choose. Choose "Root"
Plug your phone in fastboot mode. (Use Win7, Win 10 has problem with mate 10 fastboot driver)
Has anyone found the solution for this annoying problem? It happens with all VPN connections (I'm using NordVPN at the moment).
