Mods please move if not in the right place.
So I recently used qpst on my htc arrive to do a manual prl change. While it was a pain in the ass to setup does anyone know how I could change the proxy settings also? I read on the android sections that ppl were changing the http/rstp to 0.000.000 etc and that downloads were increased. Since the arrive does not give you the options of the android phones, I thought this would be my best bet. If anyone has advice on this subject or where I can find a tutorial please let me know.

Hi,
I just purchased a new HTC Touch HD phone T8285.
I have realised that it has come pre-loaded with a lot of Telstra configuration. I am not a Telstra customer and I would like to start with a clean phone in the factory shipped state.
I am in Australia and currently have a contract through Virgin (Optus)
Can anyone advise how I can reset the phone configuration so that all reference to Telstra is removed and that the standard factory settings are in place for Australia.
Any help is appreciated
Scott
Hi, welcome to XDA! You would need to flash a chef's cooked rom (must have HardSpl 1st). Check out the Blackstone section of this forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=453
Also, read the Sticky's!
How do I determine which one of these posts is relevant to my HTC Touch HD...?
When I search for this there are a lot of listings.....can you point me to one that might be specific for my device and location
Apologies as I am new at this....

Scott, just click the http link in my above post and then do your search
Thanks for that I can see those instructions and will attempt to follow them...
A further question should I attempt to first use the following ROM upgrade link from HTC to see if it resolves my problem. Rather then using the previous reset instructions...
http://www.htc.com/www/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=179&cat=2&dl_id=533
Or will this simple return me to the current state with the Telstra settings in place ?
Thanks

Hi,
Before I work use the post above to re-install the ROM on my HTC Touch HD....could I confirm the following...
- will the re-install of this mean that I will not be able to take updates to the ROM from HTC in the future
- will this process work for me as an Australia mobile phone user ?
- does the install include all the Windows Mobile operating system on the phone ready to use
Once again thanks for you help......I am new to this and want to make sure that I don't stuff the phone that have
Thanks

- You can make any update in the future, cooked ROM´s from XDA are much better than any "official" version
- It should work
- Yes
Social Web - Remove Telstra Wap Redirections ?
HI,
Dont know if anyone can help ... I have been searching the forums, but cant find this anywhere, so apologies if it is answered somewhere else.
I have a new HD2 with Telstra. I have managed to remove the locked quicklinks on the home page, and completed a few other incredible tweaks, but I just cannot seems to get the Social Web links to work when connected to WiFi - they will work when connected via Next G.
On WiFi, when I click on the Facebook icon for example, I get redirected to waprd.telstra.com/redirect?target=facebook-g ... and then nothing happens for about a minute. Just a white screen until I get a message saying "Could not connect to the remote server" . Yet, when I am connected via Next G I connect to Facebook immediately.
I have tried to find the xml code to change the URl, but I cannot find it anywhere.
Is anyone else having this problem, and if they did, was there a solution? Overall I am really happy with the phone (now that I seem to have spent about 3 days tweaking it!) and I would really like to get this fixed.
Thanks so much in advance.

hi sarah,
just wondering how did u get rid of the quicklinks off the the home screen, im not happy how they can not provide a phone in its original state!!any other important tweaks i should do when i purchase the phone??
waprd.telstra
I'm having the same issues any waprd.telstra sites will not work in a wifi enviroment. While I'm asking does anyone know hoe to changes the icons in the telstra "news and sport" or "social web" screens" ?
Hey Magic3091
Unfortunately most of those items are hard wired into the ROM. And the ROM is written to Telstra's specs. Hence the branding and all the BS
I suggest you try a new ROM to remove all of these. You'll have to do some reading to find out which is best for you.
I only just got my HD, and having seen how much Telstra stuff is there I WILL be ROMing it. I just need to figure out which one. If I rememder I will post which I choose.
Currently the MIRI rom looks like the best - new WinMob6.5 and Touch flo.

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!
Open mobile has the hero but I'm no longer using mine since I got an evo. I was wondering if I could get it working on open mobile so I could give it to my sister. Anyone done anything like this before?
Well first I would suggest posting this is the correct section. Q&A is wat ur needing. Please read the rules.
Now u would have to get the PRL from open Mobile along with the Epst settings in order for it to work. Never heard of them so best I can say is do research on finding this info.
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
Thanks, they are a mobile network exclusive to puerto rico. Thought this would go under Dev since I figured I'd have to get that info dumped from one of their hero phones (Any idea how to do this?). Or could I just call them and do the whole number on the back of the phone game and update PRL? I'll poke around with one and write a howto when i get it done.
Heres a little help
http://www.fortuneinyou.com/buddy/Android.zip
has a tutorial you can use to change and editing settings with pictures, but dont use the included PRL or APN as they are for PagePlus. Just replace revelent settings for Open Mobile, If you could get ahold of one of their phones, you could retrieve appropriate settings with QPST
First Go To Open Mobile and Ask Them...
Thanks. I'll try that tutorial when i get to work later. If I get the files ill post them for others to use. Also I tried moving the thread but I couldn't find the option :/
NP
Admins have to mode the thread .
If you could at the VERY least get a PRL for them you will easily have talk/txt working, harddest part is getting internet and MMS working.
I used this tutorial to provision my Hero for PagePlus (verizon) and liked it so much I uploaded to personal server instead of linking to hosting site where ads/pops and wait times are a pain.
Didn't wake up in time D: I'll have to try tomorrow.
dear sir

It's not that no-one cares to help you, it's just that there isn't that option available. Perhaps there is some hidden registry entry you could use, but no-one has yet found it.

No news on the APN proxy setting in WP7?
Hi guys,
No news so far?
Hey guys, I'm new to this forum but I've messed around with android for a little while. I'm trying to figure out how to change my carrier name. I've read countless posts on how to do it, and I'm so close.
The problem is, when I edit eri.xml in a hex editor (I've tried 3), I can't seem to find "Metro PCS" anywhere! Not even "Metro". It seems like it might be encrypted or something. I checked out my friend's tmobile mytouch 4g and the same issue. Have the carrier's decided to encrypt this information?
Can anyone help me with this? Has anyone successfully done this on an Lg Esteem? I appreciate any help, thanks!
Bump for freshness
*Bump for freshness*
Does anyone have an idea of how to go about this or what to try?
little late, but better then never
if you go to android forums and check out the esteem section, all things root, there is a guide on this.
I'm guessing you are familiar with decompiling and compiling your rom. so go to framework/framework-res.apk/res/values folder and edit the 'strings.xml' with notepad++ search for Metro PCS and simply delete that and replace with your custom text.
