So... Androids Achilles heel, as we all know, is lack of proxy. It's the one thing iPhone users make sure to rub in my face, and i can't do anything about it.
On a more practical note, not being able to connect to my work network is a HUGE problem (IE not being able to sync email... i know i can do it over 3G, i don't want that)
So i've been digging around and i found this about the upcoming 3.1 honeycombe plat form.
Users can now configure an HTTP proxy for each individual Wi-Fi access point, by touch-hold of the access point in Settings. The browser uses the HTTP proxy when communicating with the network over the access point and other apps may also choose to do so. The platform also provides backup and restore of the user-defined IP and proxy settings.

So honeycombe get proxy soon thats great, but what about smartphones?
This is where ice cream sandwhich comes in
Ice Cream Sandwich is designed to combine the smartphone and tablet versions of Android, therefore integrating the two.

Ice cream sandwhich is due at the end of this year, so hopfuly they will port over the wi fi proxy settings into ice cream...
Looks like there may be hope for us yet!

So some of the institutions where I use wireless on my HTC HD7 have a secure wifi network. My problem is that it requires 802.1x EAP TTLS PAP support. As far as i know (along with some use of the almighty google)... there is no support for this on windows phone 7 or almost any windows mobile devices (i do recall some ppl on this site being able to do it for the htc s621 with a registry hack).
Is there any sympathetic developer out there willing to take on the task. Once developed and functioning... I would not mind donating
...anyways... for a possible idea and look into what may be required... people on here did develop it for the android pretty recently and its done wonders...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=921237
(link of a thread where someone found the hack needed to enable support and another developer was able to find a manageable way to deploy said support)
Yeah, if someone make an app for that, it would be so awesome.
i miss this feature as well, i used symbian before wp7 which offered these advanced settings
but i'm not sure an app can make this happen
I don't mean an app because that definitely wouldn't be the way.... i mean a possible registry edit or a file to deploy with an installer
This is another thing which has been annoying me with WP7. I used to use SecureW2 client with wm6.5 but this isn't available for WP7. The phone also never seems to retain a data connection with O2 in the UK. It works sometimes after using connection set-up app but invariably drops when I need it most.
Any news from this?? EAP-TTLS would be awesome, because Uni Leipzig uses it as well...
I'd like to bump this as well. We're using Cisco's AP running Open with EAP - RADIUS security. All other common mobile OSes (iOS, Android, WinMo 6.x) can connect to this except WP7.
I'd like to recover the thread as the app mentioned is the single most important missing feature for me right now. Since it seems that we will not be getting any more feature updates in this direction (I had kind of hoped for that).

Yeah for me too, I am not exactly sure what 802.1x I need but my university needs a username and pw, and iOS does this natively, and with android you need a separate app. I hope Windows addresses in 7.8.(fingers crossed)
Hello,
I will preface this by an apology if I am putting this in the incorrect place, or this is a topic that is well covered; but I so far have not been able to get solid information on this.
From what I understand, ICS is going to include and/or support Cisco AnyConnect . However, that does not help the many users out there still using legacy Cisco VPN solution at our workplaces.
Specifically AnyConnect (at least on android, the only flavor I have had experience with) does not support Group Authentication, and neither do the default VPN clients included on Android.
So far I have had success on my Samsung Epic 4G running Froyo using VPNC to connect to my corporate network, but now I am shopping for a tablet. Likewise I have friends at work who want an android tablet but since they can't easily connect to work to do very basic things, they haven't bought.
I don't want to need root just to get a proper VPN connection up and running. For one thing that leaves me dependent upon a tun.ko being available for the tablet, not to mention just getting root in the first place isn't always easy as it was for the Kindle Fire or my Epic. And I certainly am not going to recommend that for my less technical friends.
So all that exposition out of the way, it comes down to this simple question - will ICS have a built in client that will support IPSEC group authentication , or will such client be available to install without root and needing to install modules?
Thanks for your patience if this is covered elsewhere, but most everything I have found in searches here (and elsewhere) for is based on AnyConnect and my company's VPN doesn't support that, and they aren't going to change that anytime soon.
I apologize - this should probably have been in the Question forum.
I would also like to know the answer to this to. my work uses group authentication and there is no apps or anything that will do this!
I am looking for this information as well. I certainly wish Google and Cisco could sit down and get this figured out. Apple did and the iPads at work can VPN in but not my Transformer Prime. I knew this before I purchased it, but went ahead with it hoping this would be added/fixed with ICS.
I havent had a chance to try it yet on my GN but you can now create "IPSec XAuth with PSK" (AKA Cisco VPN). If you have the GSM version of the GN you might run into problems though:

I have a VZW GN device which someone in that thread mentioned works. Since the key for my VPN is quite hard to type I'll try it tonight and post if it works tomorrow.
I have to use the l2tp vpn to connect the Internet in my school, it's quite easy in the age of GingerBread.
But things changed since I upgrade my Nexus S to IceCream Sandwich. There's no l2tp without IPsec option anymore.
I have tried the app "1 vpn", and it can't work either.
So I can't connect to the Internet via WiFi anymore in my school. It's terrible for me, 3G data is very very expensive here.
Is there any solution that dosen't need to downgrade to GingerBread?
Could anyone help me?
iOS officially doesn’t support “l2tp without IPSec” either, but there's a solution:
Creat a file named "options" in /etc/ppp, which writes:
Code:
plugin L2TP.ppp
l2tpnoipsec
iOS is derived from MAC OS, which is familiar with UNIX. Android is derived from Linux, which is also familiar with UNIX.
Android has the /etc/ppp folder too, I tried the iOS way but failed.
So, is there any possibilty to add ICS a l2tp VPN without IPSec in the familiar way as iOS?

I use OpenVPN instead, and it really works
Android IPsec (Android 4.0, Ice Cream Sandwich)
With ICS, the VPN options have been revamped and the following choices are available:
L2TP/IPsec PSK
L2TP/IPsec RSA
IPsec Xauth PSK
IPsec Xauth RSA
IPsec Hybrid RSA
is not by me reported from here doc.pfsense.o r g
now is still working test and feedback for dev

Okay, as the title indicates, I am seeking information on whether any individual or group has put any effort into reimplementing adhoc wifi in ICS.
I've run around the Android AOSP specific groups and the posts from Google mods indicate that adhoc was dropped for being "deprecated" and replaced by WifiDirect. The problem here is, there's absolutely no support for WifiDirect in Windows until Windows 8 is released, and the last time I checked, having millions of devices that rely on or use adhoc wifi is not what I'd call deprecated.
I've come across a couple of modified wpa_supplicants that work for other devices with ICS, but as of yet, there's nothing for ICS for the Xoom.
I am setting up a build environment in preparation for putting my own time into readding support for adhoc wifi, which I will then make available for everyone else to use as they wish (maybe the 'big' ROM developers will toss it into their builds /shrug) but first I want to ensure that I am not redeveloping the wheel.
Are there any out there that have already started (or done) this? If so, where are they hiding? Google is either failing, or these people are not making their work public as of yet.
Do you know tha last version of CM9 can see the HOC but can't connect
I'm also looking and the only rom to see HOC is CM9 but when you try to connect the only do is saved If i can help let me know
