Browser Routing to New Mexico University?! - G1 Android Development

I'm currently using an unmodified version of RC30. My friend (who also has the G1 on RC30) and I both had a situation in which the browser was routing our web addresses to a website for New Mexico University. The browser would route to that website whether we physically typed the address we wanted to visit (for me it was Facebook, for him eBay) or clicked the site through our bookmarks.
It seemed the only way around this was to enter our sites through a google search.
Has anyone else seen this? What could be causing it?

were you on wifi or 3G?

I was on wifi at the time. One I was familiar with so I don't think it was a case of DNS spoofing

How to access college wifi with user name & password??

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.

@ loiz
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.

Skyfire for non US, solution

Hi all, not sure if this has been posted before a search came back with nothing so I thought I 'd chuck a post up.
Im sure that everyone outside the US is currently in the same boat, would love to play with skyfire, but is frustraited with the lack of non-US availability.
Well Im based in the UK and I just signed up with any US number, I basically got one from google.
I still recieved the email from skyfire with the 'download to pc' option, The link on that email asked me to generate a password, which i did.
I installed the cab and expected there to be an IP block or something similar for the region but surprisingly the ID email and password went through just fine.
the happy ending being that im now runing skyfire beta via the UK, bonza.
Hope this pleases a few people.

Thanks for the heads-up - it worked with me too. Sure there isn't any IP block.
BTW, there're a lot of usable phone numbers at http://inter800.com/cgi-bin/kwd800
The only disadvantage: They seem to tunnel all traffic through their proxy - I had e.g. a website telling me that I'm trying to access it from the US which it does not allow.
kr A.
Doesnt't work wor me. I wrote the random number, downloaded and installd it on my Hermes. It asked for email and pass, after I had done it stopped on "Locating" screen... so i did a soft reset, reinstalled and... now it just shows the start screen and closes. I'm not quite sure if it's a fault of me living in Europe or something else.

No Vodafone Live/You Tube app

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.....

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!

We're at the same place. I'm carefully reading this...

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.

Fix HTTPS proxy issue (2690)

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.

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

Can't access website on Opera Mobile

About 2 days ago, my HTC Fuze started having trouble accessing http://m.gizmodo.com (and any other mobile Gawker site) from Opera Mobile. I can view the normal version of Gizmodo just fine and the site will open in Internet Explorer, but when trying to access it in Opera, I get the following message:
"The site is currently unavailable; please contact the system administrator."
Any idea what could be causing this? I tried deleted all cookies, cache and history; rebooting the phone; etc., but nothing seems to have corrected the problem.
maybe it's a proxy setting thing

OK...so how do I address that? All other websites seems to be working just fine using Opera Mobile. I reported the problem on gawker's support site, but it seems to be community driven, so I'm not sure I'll get a response unless someone else had the same problem and was able to find a solution.
