Ok so they give us a password to connect to the wifi, then from there if you are on a laptop then browser automatically opens and you input a user name and password...this then connects you. I'm not too sure how to do this on my Jasjar, do i manually configure? How? Where do i input username and password because the browser doesnt automatically open for me. We are trying to connect using phones, iphones, and my ppc. How do I connect??
Thanks for reading.
Do you know what kind of authentication used in your school? It's 802.1x? Do you have to install a certificate? Try to find out more information...
Open a good browser(say opera) and try opening any site on it. This is most likely the case. You'll be auto-directed to the page where you can input the user-id and password
I have similar problem.
The VPN solution that is used needs users to authenticate via xauth, which is not supported by WM.
Does anyone have a good proposal for a client to use?
If there's no free solution I don't (really) care about the costs.

Thanks for the links
I tried to find some proper software myself, but apparently i did something really wrong!
The decription of the NCP Tool looks promising, as it should include everything I need. I'll give it a try (could take some days) and tell whether I've been lucky or not...
I downloaded Opera so i will try with that tomorrow...I cant understand German so i cant understand that link and cant download. Will see with Opera anyway, thanks.

You don't need to
First, on the german version of the NCP homepage youget to the downloads by clicking Downloads, then choosing Software, then the Client, that's also named english
If you can't figure out how to set up he account needed in german, just click on the little American flag in the upper right of the screen
It's present on the homepage and the downloads page.
The second link is just an instruction anyway, except for the link to the SecureW2 Client. You should find the (english) homepage of that via google. You don't need to bother downloading that if the authentication method isn't 802.11.
Thanks mate, but I tried with Opera and it works!!! Now to find a way to access msn!!

You can allways use online live messenger http://mobile.live.com/pocketpc/
Been looking for a way to get it to work at college as well.
Have got no idea what do cause we use certificates here, have one on my ppc and installed it (on sd as well as the device).
Got practically everything filled out except when selecting a certificate i get the message that there is none.
Been trying to consult the It-services desk but they have no experience whit this.
Do you have any idea which steps i should take?
Thanks in advance
Online messengers are blocked also, they use some burst filtering software or something, will check to see if i can find an unblocked site. Would be great if there was a way to allow everything. Thanks lads.

Hi,
for some reason on WM6, HTTP mail 1.5 won't work for me.
has anyone got it to work?
Thanks!
bump.
please help out.
Thanks
no idea.
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=html+email+1.5&btnG=Google+Search
what are you referring to? all i can think of is html email...
On the WM5, I used a program called HTTP Mail 1.5, It helps me connect to hotmail using the proxy HTTP connection. Since Hotmail doesn't use Pop or Imap.
hope we can figure something out.
Thanks
Well seeing as the program isn't working for you I'll assume it has WM6 problems...
Your best bet, IMHO, is to check the website of or contact the developer directly. As I've never heard of the program (probably because I don't use hotmail so no need really) and it seems not many others have either.
At the very least, provide a bit more info about the program with maybe a link to the developer's site. As I have no idea where to find it to even see if I can offer some suggestions. Google turned up dry...
thank you for you reply.
i bought the program from here:
http://classic.pocketgear.com/software_detail.asp?id=9539&associateid=17
U can have a 30 day trail.
I remember i got it to work once on jwzg's rom.
but after a day of using his rom, my phone got screwy, so i'm using another rom now.
im currently using the Boring WM6 rom.
I was able to revieve mail, but not send it. in jwzg's rom. but in WM5 i can do both.
i also tried following the instructions here:
http://dashapps.googlepages.com/
but his menu/button seems different from mine. I assumed all wm6/wm5 had the same button.
thanks if u can help out.

On my HTC Polaris (with WM6) it works.
I must say I did not use the cab installer (as a rule I prefer manual installations, better control on the process) but I extracted the files from the cab, copied them under \Windows and registered manually HTTPMail.dll, MIME.dll and HTTPTransport.dll using regsvr_arm.exe (attached just in case...)
my http mail came in EXE form.
can u post the files too?
Thanks!
Here's the error i get BTW:
The HTTP redirect request failed

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.
Http: 212.183.137.12:8799
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.....

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.

Don't worry.
We can use the Skyfire by proxy server.
In our country.Skyfire for WM was blocked has long time......
Because this browser can visit youtube,facebook and many overseas websites...
Really am feeling quite helpless......

I just used your prefs but there's the same message of skyfire not working after july 1st. what the hell are we gonna do? one of the main 2 reasons i'm using my wm phone is for the internet and skyfire was the best for me because it plays flash (youtube, some radio stations flash player, flash sites, etc...) i tried Opera 10 and it was a total fiasco! no flash!!! also UZard and it didn't work for me!!! Help!!! what can we use on windows mobile as a browser with descent flash???? any suggestions???
Try to use mach5 browser.
The browser also support to flash10.1......
A working simple solution (at least it worked for me):
Delete "pref" file on APPLICATION DATA/SKYFIRE/prefs.
Then start skyfire using a wifi connection.
It works again, for both 3g+ and wifi connection.
I use a Htc Hd.
no it's not working on wifi deleting prefs

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.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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.

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.

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??

See the "Platform specific notes": http://www.torproject.org/docs/android.html.en
Thanks...Will give it a try..and post tomorrow!!
Hello,
I have just noticed that e-mail client isn`t working, it was setup as exchange server. So, I`ve removed account, setup it again. But, it hangs on the message: Your emails will be downloaded... And it hangs, and hangs. I`ve tried form setup and from email program, and the result is the same. If I setup pop3, than it works.
Is there a solution for this? Had anyone had similar problem?
Thanks
I'm far from an expert on the matter. I will try and help you though. To me it sounds like an authentication issue.
Since telent is widely documented with Exchange. I feel it is the best/easiest tool.. Running some basic tests. Ruling out server auth issues, versus the device is mis-configured.
Can the device telnet into the exchange server, do you know how? Assuming you know the basics of telnet and have an app to do so.. Does it reject the connection or does it reply to the HELO with the 250 OK.
@Enablingwolf
Sorry, but I don`t know how to test telnet. Please be kind to navigate me through.
Thanks
I can't yet post links. So you will have to insert the http part to complete the address.
exchange.mvps.org/smtp_frames.htm
You can install Fing off the store. It'll have the ability to telenet, plus other useful features. The link I helped with, will give the basics easier than me typing it all out. (It is pretty easy to run the tests. If you've used a command prompt.)
Ok, I`ll give it a try.
Thanks
