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)
Hello,
There are some open issues in android that states the lack of proxy support for Wifi connections.

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:

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.

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!!
How can I set a proxy in android ?
does FroYo support HTTP proxy setting ?
why google doesn't care about this problem ?
I need help ! Will it be in FroYo ?
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:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=766569
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!

Did you use wireless or mobile internet?
If wireless try it from a desktop computer. Maybe it's a DNS fault of your provider. If it's not working ask your provider. If it is working it's the website itself. Maybe they are useing a special mobile theme which is not properly redered in your browsers or, what i think, the mobile theme is not implemented the right way. So try to swich your browser host-agent to desktop version (or something like that) and try again.
