Hi all.. a member of the forum idsk released a patch for running the HTChome weather update feature on proxy connection like WAP ones, so I'm sure that anyone using T-Mobile Web or T-Zones will like it.
More details can be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=371591
We need the help of the forum devs to develop similar solutions to other popular programs like Live messenger etc..

If you are using auto mode, you have to load PIE at least once so the weather can get the proxy settings. Load up PIE and browse something like google, then try updating your weather. (Given the fact that you have already set proxy settings in your connection settings)

As most people will know; VF left out this application.
I am told this is because VF believe that business users dont like entertainment (!) and therefore wouldnt use it. Also, that WM phones dont 'do wap'. Can that be right? I am sure my old Omnia had VF Live on it.
Anyway, I think in order for me to get Sky Sports Mobile TV, I need to access it through the VF Live WAP portal.
Anyone know if this has been sorted for us on these forums? I found one vodafone live .cab but that didnt work and just mucked up my connection settings (unless I did something wrong).
This phone also doesnt have the YouTube app (it's entertainment again you see). A VGA .cab of that would be good too
Thanks

WM phone do support WAP and can be accessed from the Touch Pro on the vodafone network. However, you can not get onto the Vodafone Live Website due to the fact that their servers do not recognise the phone browser and therefore defaults to the vodafone live page that is accessed from your desktop. To my knowledge there is no work around for this.
I believe that if you change the user agent of opera or internet explorer to that of a supported mobile phone, you are then able to view the vf live wap portal pages.
Sadly, i don't know the user agent of a supported phone, but I'm sure something like a Nokia N95 would be compatible.
obviously, we would now need to find the user agent string for that device and try that.....
Apparently the N95 user agent string is...
Mozilla/5.0 (SymbianOS/9.2; U; Series60/3.1 NokiaN95/11.0.026; Profile MIDP-2.0 Configuration/CLDC-1.1) AppleWebKit/413 (KHTML, like Gecko) Safari/413
I have got it working, but you have to create another connection with the following settings
Make an internet connection,
use cellular line GPRS 3G
Access Point NAME: wap.vodafone.co.uk
username: wap
Password: wap
then for this connection you need to setup a proxy.

weird that vodafone does something like this!
Here in the netherlands if I go to the vodafone site they say proudly that ya can use youtube as well!
I have a ( general) TP without a simlock...no I had the youtube app pre-installed. With vodafone as my current provider it works great...

Thanks for the responses. Unfortunately you lost me at "User String".
But on a positive it looks like I can get this up and running. Could you kindly guide me through it (the Mozilla bit not the connection settings).
Do I install it as obviosuly my Touch Pro doesnt have it.
Thanks!
I just flashed my UK voda TP with the ROMeOS ROM and the youtube app works perfectly, no need to adjust any settings, (unlike T-mob)

In Opera you need to type "opera:config" into the address bar....
Then select the option that appears in the navigation window.
Scroll down to "User prefs" and select it....
Scroll down to "Custom User Agent" and type the text string above into the box
Scroll down the page and choose "Save"....
Now when you try to access live.vodafone.com using the wap settings mentioned you should be able to access the Live portal....Haven't tried watching Sky TV etc, so don't know how well that works.....

Would you post the exact link to it please? Did you have to do any CID/app unlock shennigans first!?
@ice-coffee:
I'm the same. I'm thinking of flashing my ROM. Is it possible to backup the current ROM if all goes Pete Tong?
I've never flashed a ROM, scares me a bit and want to do it!
where do I start?
Thanks!

Hiya
You know what, having read all that, I think I'm gonna try and get the Youtube app working on the device with the VF Rom left exactly as it is.
I'm up for tweaking plenty, but I also need to rely on this as a phone and messaging device, and can't afford one crash or fail really.

I tried that. But VF removed the straeming media app as well. Also no VF Live so no mobile TV.
Thats ALOT of tweaking.
Hmm, OK. rock and hard place!
I'm going to try and will let you know if I can get it working. I really don't fancy the idea of flashing and installing 1000 tweaks/apps that my device doesn't need.

Hi,
I use a wap internet connection (I think as many other users) and it require a proxy. However use a proxy with the android os seem an impossible thing! There is support only for http proxy (not socks), it can't be used over wifi and https doesn't work!
Currently the "global" proxy that I've set is considered ONLY by browser and Dolphin browser and it works only for http connection. It means that I can't use sync, market, maps.... The "apn type" in settings must me leaved blank because if I write "default" won't work anything.
I've found report bug about this issue (http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=2690) however seem that no one would fix it.
Obviously https with my wap connection works fine thought any other phones (iphone included) and pc (tether with android).
Can you help me (us) ?
Have you ever try cmwrap ?
http://code.google.com/p/cmwrap/ or search market cmwrap.
Cmwrap is a local proxy software for android.
with this, https proxy partly work in ChinaMoblie wap data plan.

It sounds interesting but the program and the documentation is in chinese! I can't understand anything..
Try newest version beta 1.2.1 in market, most in english.
PS. if it doesnt work, you can contact the developer biaji.cn AT gtalk. he is a nice guy.
Hi,
I cannot find any english version... can you give a reference for it ?
thanks

have u tried any other sites? and i know ure running EDGE but still shouldnt be a big problem....try to contact t-mobile to get the right settings and then try again, let us know what happens
ok this is what happend since the post. luckly for me i had a backup of my os after i got all the settings correct and everything the way i want it. i do it for this just in case i do something stupid and not know how to correct the issue. so i reset the unit and then resotred and i was able to get it working. i am thinking that there must be a hidden proxy somewhere that i am not aware of or maybe tmobile is finally getting hip to what i have been doing for years. but on a side note although i.e. and opera9 did not work opera mini5 and opera 10 did as well as uweb but i amaguessing that its a hidden proxy. btw is there anyway to swap out opera9 for 10 as the default browser

Hello,
There are some open issues in android that states the lack of proxy support for Wifi connections.
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=1273
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=9126
I know, and the majority of Android users might also know, that there is a way to "hack" the android browser to use proxy. It's done via sqlite.
But I think, as many other users, that this is no solution. The "hack" is only for the bowser, so exclude market, gapps, etc.
Now, someone from google said that:
Comment 8 by [email protected], Jul 07, 2010
There was a bug in how the browser used the http proxy - it was fixed for the Froyo release.
Other applications may still fail though - only the browser even attempts to use the http proxy. In the future we plan to move the proxy-awareness into http stacks, but it's unclear when that work can be done.

So, as you can see there are no plans whatsoever for implementing proxy support.
What I would like to start here, is some sort of list of kernel/modules/coding requirements, to start a possible development.
To anybody out there that has some know-how on this subject, please speak!
Thank you very much.
Best regards,
Anthon.

Agreed
Just adding my support to this. It's a much needed feature!
Hi,
Can you teach me how to use the sqlite with android for browsing via proxy... I just want to browse atleast in my university!! Help me out!!
Hello again,
I was thinking the most quick way would be to have a local proxy client (where we would configure our proxy server settings) and redirect/forward all traffic with iptables rules to that local port.
Sort of a transparent proxy.
We have some netfilter modules included in the custom kernels that comes in most custom roms.
No, what proxy client could we use? Is there a busybox proxy client we could use?
Thanks.
Anthon.

Yes it works. I tested with a proxy without authentication and I could access to external websites.

Have you tried opera mini? That appears to get through most proxys with no configuration using "socket" method and seems to be a good solution if you just want to be able to browse the web.

Opera Mini -> Settings -> Advanced -> Protocol -> set to Socket. That works for most people.

Hi
Sorry for my absence.
I've been investigating a little bit and found a great piece of software called Tor - http://www.torproject.org/docs/android.html.en.
It's a privacy and security tool for browsing the Internet. It's also a local transparent proxy!
I have tried this tool at work (we have a proxy to get out to the Internet) and I managed to get Google Email syncs and Google Talk even without configuring anything even close to a proxy!!!
So, great news! I'll do some more research, hope you all can help.
Best regards,
Anthon.
Hi again,
Yesterday I went to the tor irc channel and talked we some nice folks there
Their recommendation was to look for a solution with iptables (what I said in the beginning).
I searched a bit more and found this: http://proxychains.sourceforge.net/.
It seems to be possible to chain the entire "system" and not just an application.
Will try to build this using Android NDK. Don't know if it will work...
Any recommendations?
Best regards,
Anthon.
Thanks a lot buddy...Keep us posted about the updates...I am also trying this orbot... will post the updates!!
And sorry for asking more questions... phone needs to be rooted for using orbot??
50/50...
See the "Platform specific notes": http://www.torproject.org/docs/android.html.en
Thanks...Will give it a try..and post tomorrow!!
Hi all!
I hope i'm posting on the right place
My questions is really simple: My mobile connection need a proxy to work correctly, so i have setup it and the browser works well! But the google apps ( sync/gmail/maps etc ) cannot connect!
I can't understand if this is a system related wrong setting OR google apps can't work with proxy.
Anyone have investigated about? Any suggestion?
I have an HTC Tatto device with Android 2.2 CM6, but i've got the same problem on 1.6.
Thank you to anyone reply!
