I am not able to access the wifi throgh uc web or any other browser other than the inbuilt one. When wifi is connected ,it is showing that unable to connect or the page cannot be displayed. Please tell me the process for accessing wifi for any browser for my Galaxy S2.please help me..
Check to see if you have a proxy set. I had to delete one to get full function.
Thx, but problem doesn't seem to be related to proxy.

To access the Internet using Wifi I need to go through the proxy server of our organization. Usually in a Windows Desktop we configure to get the DNS server automatically and use a proxy.pac (some thing like: http: //SSS.SSS.SS.SSS/proxy.pac).
I have rooted my Xperia X10 mini and tried anProxy and TransProxy, but failed to go through the proxy server.
Is there any way out or work around to access the Internet through our proxy server?
Thanks in advance!
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.
This works on both a rooted AT&T HTC Inspire and a HP Touchpad running CM7 Alpha
This looks like a resolved issue, but if anyone else is reading this, there is an easier way. Check out Autoproxy on the market. You can add a new proxy, put in the address to the proxy.pac file, and it will connect to the current proxy.
That's also good if you're on a network where they keep changing the proxy (like the place I work).
I have a peculiar problem and i guess, from google search results, that many others have similar problem.
I am using Samsung Galaxy S 2 mobile phone.
Of late, the default Browser application on my samsung galaxy s2 just keeps coming up with the standard "Web page not available" page when I try to connect to any website.
I generally use default browser to access the web and this used to work perfectly. Of late it has developed this problem. I then tried Dolphine, Miren, Skyfire and this also did the same!
All other applications are fine and can connect to the internet perfectly well. Only In browser, which was downloaded prior to this problem, works fine.
So it seems like something is amiss with my settings / files that the default Browser, Dolphin and Skyfire use.
Any ideas?
You can also reach me on [email protected].
Hoping that someone here would be able to resolve this issue.
Samsung GT-I9100, Android version 2.3.4, Orange network
I had this problem. Browser worked fine on 3G and would not work on wi-fi even though all apps worked. I fixed this by deleting the Proxy setting - Wi-Fi settings > menu Advanced > Proxy and clear the field. Works OK now.
thanks for response, but it does not solve my problem.
i hope any senior member would come forward on this problem.
Hi, i got the same problem, is Access Point Names problem. Please go Settings->Wireless and network->Mobile Networks->Access Point Names->and choose the DIGI/CELCOM/MAXIS internet. * choose according what telco you using.
solved: use packet data
Hi- Samsung Galaxy S2 with same problem. Also could not attach pictures to text messages, and phone stuck on "downloading" a message of type "multimedia message notification"; both of which may be related issues?
This helped me: make sure "use packet data" is checked at:
settings\wireless and network\mobile networks
(It may have been cancelled by letting my battery die?)
Does anyone know of a good app for setting different network/proxy settings per wifi connection? I need a proxy setup for one wifi network and not for another but I don't see anyway to make that setting permanent in UnNamed ROM so time for an app.
It would be great if the app also had per-app proxy settings or intelligent features like FoxyProxy.
I use Auto Proxy for the WIFI at my office. It lets me set it so that it will only connect to the proxy if a certain subnet.
Thanks. I'm actually watching that thread currently. It looks promising but it has one major problem for me.....no proxy.pac support yet.
Any other programs?
There seems to be a solution to the .pac issue here
Thanks for the link. That helps determining what happens in the pac file.
I've tried Autoproxy and ProxyDroid using what I found in the pac file but neither is working quite right for me. They say they're connected but then I'm unable to actually browse anywhere through the default web browser or Dolphin HD. Market place also doesn't work.
I pinged the server name from my computer where the pac file says it's going and got the IP address. I then used the IP address from the pac file to fill in the host destination and port info. It's weird because it says it's connected but traffic doesn't flow. There isn't any authentication that I'm aware of so I'm stuck on what to try next.
Does anyone know of a good external proxy that's safe and reliable that I can do some testing with?

Knips178, try the newest version of Autoproxy. If your network is on a windows domain, it may be using your domain username and password as NTLM authentication, so you can also try that with the IP address you extracted from the proxy.pac
Hello All,
I've have a debian server configured as a PPTP server. I configured my phone to connect to it.
It seems that it connect ok and EVERY application works through the VPN excep the browser.
Market, gmail, news and weather, maps.
I tried both the stock browser and dolphin hd but neither of them work.
strange thing is when you open the browser and start typing i get search suggestions so there is traffic going through but when i try to select a search suggestion or go to a webpage it just sits there.
I have torrentdroid installed and i can connect to my local home server when i'm connected to the vpn so the VPN is working....
does anyone have any suggestions?
Hi frnds,
I am having prob. with my college wifi. THe college wifi is 802.1 EAP secured network. So after connecting to the wifi. When i open the browser the browser first open the university's login page where i have to enter my username and pass.
And after clicking on login then i can open any site using the browser only.
But when i open any other app like market it does not connect it shows not network connection.
So the problem i think is that before connecting to the net, the wifi first verify the user identity. That can be done only in browser but entering details but not in case if market.
Hence does anybody know a method by which i can verify the wifi for the whole phone and hence can use any app on it.
Many college WiFi networks are configured not to allow second party apps (for example Android Market) to exchange data via that netowork. U would have to ask your network supervisor on your college if the "blocking second party apps" is true.
The proof, that the WiFi is working correctly is, that u can open any other site via the phone browser.
If u are willing only previews of apps in the market, try to connect to the market site via the phone net browser :]
