proxy support... help???
I've been trying to find out the same thing... apparently you have to root your phone - check out this site
http://www.chrislowthian.co.uk/how-to-unlock-de-brand-and-root-the-zte-blade-orange-san-francisco/1824/
and then you can install an app to let you manage your proxy settings, i found one called ASProxy on android market but you have to pay for it, or have a look at this:

I don't really understand any of this stuff, haven't tried it yet as I am completely new to android phones and technical language, my previous phone was a old-school nokia so this is a huge leap! Was hoping to find someone who might know a bit more about it and who could explain what to do in English, I don't understand half the words on the second website.
Anyway hope this helps, if anyone can help me please reply!
I have now successfully rooted my phone and am now using FroYo ROM, I followed the instructions on this link:
http://orangesanfrancisco.co.uk/index.php
This site was really helpful for me as I knew nothing about this stuff beforehand, I managed to root the phone without any problems at all. It would have been nice though if someone somewhere on the net had mentioned that in rooting your phone you will be invalidating your warranty... bit late now!
Still trying to find a way of getting wifi through the college proxy server thing, I think this link about transproxy would be really helpful but I don't understand how to install it and have no idea what iptables are and how to do that...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=766569
If anyone can shed light on the iptable question and also how I can download/install the transproxy thing I would be really grateful!

So I had followed the step by step instructions of how to get the shadow to work with t-zones through proxy and it worked pretty well. Today I decided to go ahead and sign up for the "total internet plan". I wanted to be able to use my POP mail correctly and use MSN Live messenger too. I also have read all over the place that using the proxy with t-zones is slower.
Anyway ... the reason for me writing this is because I was wondering what the easiest way for me to make sure that I am not using the t-zones proxy for the connections. I basically have to go in and "undo" all of the changes that I made to get the proxy to work right? I'm guessing that I am answering my own question but I was just wondering if there was any other ideas or ways to get the same goal. I'd love to just do that mythical ROM update t-mobile has mentioned and start from scratch that way. I don't see that happening soon enough though.
Thanks for any and all help and here's hoping for a shadow specific section on this great site some day!
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.
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.

Only way that I know of is to set up a transpararent proxy on a computer.
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 there, I got a free account for APP Hub because im a student, however I cant seem to unlock my device? It wont let me? I verified my e-mail however it still wont let me unlock when I use the windows phone tools. Please help
Just found out that i need to make a dummy app, thanks anyway! However can i sideload as many apps as i want to or is there a limit? If there is a limit how many? As I might just use chevron!
With the student account you can only side load 5 apps, how ever there is a tool somewhere that can fix this problem.
Search my posts and you will find it.
thanks i found the tool, the problem is trying to make a dummy app, i have no idea
Do as i did
Find an app that you know will never be allowed in the market place, or one thats been rejected for some reason. Im sure you can find some if you look around
Yes, I have Googled and searched with out being able to find an answer...
Currently I am running:
unlocked
s-on
hboot 1.45.0013
ParanoidAndroid 2.99
I am trying to find a way to set peak and off peak email times like the one that came on the phone from the factory. I have looked at the profiles settings but really liked the fact that it was automatic before. I have also looked at some apps in the PlayStore but I am not finding anything that really just integrates into the email app that came with ParanoidAndroid.
I really like ParanoidAndroid (I have put many other ROMs on this phone already) and don't want to lose it. I am using Hotmail and Gmail.
So, does anyone know of anything out there? If not, I have never done this before but would it be hard to learn how to make an app or write a line of code to do this? Please excuse my ignorance but I am willing to learn if someone is willing to help me out.
