Hi
Has anybody figured out how to use ASProxy
alsubang.github.com
or any other way on Android
to enable internet access for apps other then browser (i.e. pipe all traffic via port 80/443) on Unlimited Browsing Plans (not normall data plan)
like the one offered by Speakout 7-11 in Canada?
Would it require a separate computer running a proxy server since provider's
proxy (APN) will drop any packets with port other then 80 or 443?

By default, Speakout wireless only works for browsing (80, 443).
ASProxy enables Email, Map, Android Market, etc.
I found Skype does not work.
Enter the same APN settings into Asproxy and you should be good to go. I found voip apps still don't work. However, google voice works.
It took me a while to figure it out but here's what I did:
1. Make sure you have the Speakout APN profile entered into the phone and that you have data enabled.
2. Disable Wifi.
3. Stop ASProxy under its Status tab.
2. Delete all previous proxy profiles added under the Proxies tab (if your created any)
3. Under the settings tab, for Connection types choose "APN(3G/4G)" only.
4. ASProxy will automatically detect the phone's APN connection. A screen should pop up to set up a new Proxy with the following info - Connection Type: APN, MCC+MNC: 302720 and Operator: Rogers. If it does not, exit ASProxy and start it again, and select the "Proxies" tab - it should come up then.
5. For the new Proxy, you have to add some additional information (you also have to scroll down to fill in all of this info):
Proxy Type: HTTP
Proxy Host: 10.128.1.69
Proxy Port: 80
Bypass Local: [leave unchecked]
DNS Forwarding: None
Proxy Security: Basic
Username: wapuser1
Password: wap
Save the profile.
6. Under the Status tab, start ASProxy by touching the button.
You should be good to go.
Thanks.
I still can't get it to work!

What do you mean by Google Voice?
That you can open its web page and initiate a call?
BTW, are there any free alternative to ASProxy that can support WAP proxies?
BTW, is SO still 3G?
It works for some apps (browser, market, maps) but not for others.
Most notably, Google Talk doesn't connect.
Sync doesn't work. It works if I force it, but it won't sync automatically.
Alternative - ASProxy
Hi,
I was trying different softwares and none is perfect. "Proxymator" has the simplest UI and works with Google Maps, Gmail Facebook but not for Market and other apps. None of the voips work either. But I guess ASProxy is similar, not all apps work. I am waiting for a better "Proxymator" version.
Hope it helps...
Cheers

Well, while trying different apps, out of curiosity I installed "Autoproxy" developed by here in xda forum. Just forget about anything else mates. This is it...works beautifully with almost all apps. Just search the forum........
Hope this helps.
When researching the same question as to how to use Android Apps with the SO Unlimited Browsing plan, I came across this app (forum will not let me post link, sorry):
Orbot is an application that allows mobile phone users to access the web, instant messaging and email without being monitored or blocked by their mobile internet service provider. Orbot brings the features and functionality of Tor (read more below) to the Android mobile operating system.

I installed it and it seems like it could work for this, but I'm not proficient enough to figure out how to configure it, or if it is do-able. Google search term: 'Orbot, Tor on ANdroid'
Is there an equivalent iPhone app or way to get Speakout to work with other apps on an iphone?
I have installed an application 'Alpari aTrader'.
I want to change the settings of the installed application. There is a file in the application servers.xml which has the list of servers to which the application will connect. I want to change the list of those servers so that i can ask the application to look on to my servers instead of the servers in that xml file.
Please let me know if this is possible, will be a great help.
thanks
I am running stock, t-mobile USA.
I am having problems with certain little apps who need Google to grant them access like backup sms but it never does. I've even tried other browsers like firefox and dolphin. I've also had a similar problem with dropbox granting access to foldersync. It's very frustrating.
I forget what the setting is, but you need to log onto gmail with your computer and go into settings and set something. Backup SMS should have instructions in its settings on how to do this.
Sent from my HTC One S using XDA Premium
I had the same issue with SMS Backup +. Here is the fix.
Open the app and tap Advanced Settings>IMAP Server Settings and put your gmail address in User Name, and password in Password. Don't change anything else. Back out and on the main screen you should see Connect grayed out, your good!
I didn't see this readily available and had posted it on the Galaxy S5 forums, but it works on most devices. This will work on both wifi and mobile data.
--First step would be to install Adblock Plus APK. I got mine from: https://adblockplus.org/en/android-install
--After installing, run the app once and activate filtering. It should now be blocking all ads on wifi only. To enable adblock on mobile data you need to add a proxy to your APN.
--Go to your APN settings: system settings>network connections>more networks>mobile networks>access point names (could be different depending on phone and android version). What you need to do now is go to you default APN and copy down all the settings. We only do this because you cannot edit the original APN it seems (If you can edit your default APN, you can add the proxy to the existing APN). Now create a new APN and enter in the copied settings. The only additional settings you add to add to the new APN is:
---Proxy: localhost
---Port: 2020
Make sure you set the new APN you created as active and adblocking should be working! I have done this on my T-mobile S5. Hopefully some of you will find this useful.
Hello. This is a very naive question, and I wouldn't be surprised if anyone answers "You don't understand (fill-in-the-blank)" (I probably don't!).
We currently have our son on a plan with no mobile data but with SMS. He really wants MMS, but we don't want him to have all-day internet access, no matter where he his. Currently a tool like Family Link can help (I think, but not sure even it can solve the problem), only until he's 13.
Are there any ways, including when rooted, to disable general web access (HTTP) while allowing MMS over a data connection? From what I've gathered, this can't be controlled via APN settings, as general is necessary for data to work at all, and provides web access. I'm pretty sure I could disable MMS and allow web access via APN settings, but what I'd like to do is the opposite.
Note that I'm not trying to block access to the web entirely. I'd still expect it to work over WiFi, and if I wanted to somehow restrict content, that's an entirely other can of worms.
Thanks for any thoughts.

Have a look at AFWall+ firewall. It is basically an iptables front-end for rooted Androids. It is very flexible regarding per app and per access network permissions. Might be what you are looking for. Newly installed apps are also blocked access by default.
