[Q] Wifi autoproxy - General Questions and Answers

ok, i've been looking for an app for a while now, and have not found anything thats close to what i need.
my business has two wifi networks.
one for employees and one for customers.
the problem is, when i need to test something on the customer wifi, (and any others) is that the proxy settings are a global setting, not a wifi specific setting.
is there an app that changes that for you when it picks up a different network?
(say, swaps the proxy settings to nothing when a specific saved network is found, and changes it to defined settings when another saved one is connected to)
would be amazing if there was, and it did not need root access.

in ICS(Android 4.0) you can set proxy for each wifi network

Use proxydroid (free) from Google Play Store... You can create profiles for each wi-fi network and bind these profiles to the wi-fi network so it starts automatically when you are connected to the wi-fi network. You need to be rooted for proxydroid to work.

still sets a global proxy, just makes it look like its wifi-specific.

Try Autoproxy, the name says it all. Also on the market.

[help] internet trouble.

This phone is bugging me. ill be home, where I have low/no service, ill try to connect to wifi, but the phone will try to connect to gprs/3g. then sometimes ill have service and it wont connect at all. IE will work but not opera or some other programs. WIFI is searching 24/7 telling when theres a connection. anyone else have this problem?
I want to leave wifi on but only connect to networks registered.
I want if there's no 3g connect to wifi if available.
seems simple to me. possible? maybe i need to change some settings?
There is "no data" but that don't really solve the problem.
I have expereinced the same, especialy if I have low signal then the gprs/3g connections starts up.
It would be neat with an application that gave you a pop up where you had to confirm that you want to connect thru anything other than wifi or bluetooth.
I have the nodata program on my phone and it works great. Search the forum for the program and if you cant find it tell me and I'll attach the .cab

NoData is probably not what you're looking for. It will allow you to disable traffic through a selected data connection. But it must be enabled / disabled manually. Sounds like you're looking for something that will toggle automatically, giving priority / preference to your WiFi connection when it's available.
There's a program called CommMgrPro that will do what you're looking for. That is, enable and disable connections based on things like cell tower location, detection of WiFi, etc. There's also a forum page for the program here.
A program called Bandswitch (at the same site as CommMgr Pro) will do similar to NoData, except it will let you choose enable / disable based on Time of day presets.
Also here in the forum you can find a program called WifiLocations. It will do similar to the first program above above. If you search the forum there are a few more (some free) programs that will do what you're looking for. Good luck!
My problem with the nodata program is that I can't seem to disable gprs/3g traffic while using wifi. It might be that I have an old version, but I have found many times that even with nodata running in the background with disabled data traffic, it still connects me if I loose my wifi connection.

I hard resetted it with out the bloat. then configured my interenet like this:
http://forums.wireless.att.com/cng/board/message?board.id=cingular&message.id=110811
then i went to sounds/notifications in settings, i think, and disabled the wifi notification.
seems to work pretty well.
i take back what i said.it goes in and out. I had 3g service and it said I was connected to media net, but it wouldnt let me get to the net. this phone is a pain when it comes to internet and gps

Edit your MEdiaNet connection settings so your proxy is DISABLED. If it is enabled your WiFi will try to use it too - which is not possible. Unchecking the proxy will have have no discernible impact to your browsing speed when you are using the AT&T data connection.

You can safely set both to MEdiaNet. If you have WiFi enabled and you're connected to your access point it will take precedent over your GPRS (Edge) or UMTS (3G) connection. It is not necessary to disable the AT&T data connection if you are connected and browsing over your WiFi connection. As soon as you turn off or lose your WiFi signal, your phone will go back to using the AT&T data connection.

Sudden Network connection problem

Suddenly, I cannot to access functions that require connection to a network.
For example, Bing will not update categories or collections.
Windows update will not connect to the network.
It suggested I check my time and date? ...which are correct.
I can access internet, send and receive email and sms, check and update weather.
Just many things that require network connections do not work.
I'm not sure when this started. I don't remember changing any network settings.
I use T-Mobile in USA
Any ideas what i am missing?

Are you using a proxy?
Are you on the t-zones package? Maybe they are now blocking https (or SSL)?
DJG,
Good questions. When I first got my TP and put sim in, it did automatic setup to T-Mobile settings. I am on unlimited data plan. When checking settings recently, I noticed the APN was set to the WAP.voicestream.com, instead of internet2.voicestream.com. I changed that. I also noticed that This network uses a proxy server was checked, with no proxy name in the box. I tried checking then unchecking this and using it. No difference. Then I tried checking it and adding getmorespeed.voicestream.com. It seems like web browsing is a bit faster (maybe), but this didn't fix the other network access problems.
Could this be a T-Mobile problem, or a problem with my account at T-Mobile?
Do they need to reset anything?

VPN Setup for Advantage X 7510

I need some assistance on setting up VPN access to my corporate network on my X 7510. I am technologically barely savvy. I am a business user of my X 7510.
Can someone please help me in configuring my device to access my corporate VPN?
The following describes my attempts to configure the VPN settings using the standard VPN configuration available on the device:
I am using the settings given by my network team. We are using a pre-shared key and no certificates. Our corporate VPN uses CISCO ASA 5520. When I setup the VPN there is an "Advanced" option that asks for certain server IP addresses. Our network team says that this need not be used.
I am trying to connect over a GPRS network. The most frustrating part is that the IT Manager uses an iPhone and he downloaded a VPN client for 9 dollars from the Apple Store and it works beautifully !!!
But I am not able to connect and I get an error message that says that there is a problem with my user name and password. The message asks me to turn off and turn on my device to see if that fixes my problem. But it does not.
I have triple checked all the setting details with our network team and all the data are correct. My network team can monitor connection attempts and they say that they are not even able to see any connection atempts from my device.
Can somone please help me?
I Think it depends on the rom you use. If that vpn package is there.
I also have a problem with my VPN on x7510. I think I get all the settings right because it says I am connected to my corporate network. Our network administrator from the network monitoring desk actually sees me connected. But I cannot access any application on the network, not even my company's intranet homepage.
Another irritating part is that when I fire up any application that requires internet access but not VPN - like Nimbuzz, the VPN starts to connect through GPRS - very annoying. So I have now set up the VPN to disallow internet access.
rsawoseyin
Can you please share how u have setup the VPN? I am not even able to connect.
Isn't there anybody else here who can assist?
My roms have vpn capabilities, if you go to connection at the bottom it has "set up vpn" (or something like that)

IP address changer

Hi,
exist some HOMEBREW app which can let me change the IP address ?
Somebody told me that it exist.
Thanks.
Well, you can easily specify your own IP address for WiFi networks. That's built into the phone.
For the cellular network... I'm not aware of a way, though it probably does exist. I'm not sure anybody has coded it as a WP7 app, though.
Why do you need to do this? Your IP address quite probably changes every time you reboot your phone; why do you need it to be a constant value?

For me this threat is also interested. And why would be practice to be able to put static IP address is simple, what to do when you want to connect in WIFI environment where is no DHCP.
Or let say ISP, give you STB with WLAN on which is not enabled DHCP.
Cheers.
As I said, specifying your own IP address is easy on WiFi (specifically for networks without DHCP). Open the WiFi settings page, press-and-hold on a network, and select Edit. If you connect to a network that doesn't have DHCP, it should prompt you for the settings when you first connect.

My friend, this what you are wrote is written in user manual which I am get with my optimus 7. There is also written that is procedure for connecting on hidden network is press-and-hold on any wlan net and change the name according with hidden net and I could not reach hidden net until I am receive latest fw(few days ago) and I have optimus 7 almost nine month.
In any case, what you are wrote not applies for optimus 7, maybe for some other phone apply, but not for optimus 7, at least with OPN Firmware.
Cheers.
Ah... I don't have an LG phone, so if there's some weird quirk to their WiFi drivers, I can't help you with that. Sorry. :-(
JosipoGo, have you connected your phone to Zune and done updates that way? Go to Settings=> about phone and tell us what version of OS you have.
I am thinking you may be running NoDo on your phone, as anything with Mango or above should have the ability to change IP address. Yes, your shipping firmware (if it is NoDo version) may not have this feature, and it wouldn't be on your phones manual if that is the case.
If you have never done system updates, you should be able to add this feature by preforming the Zune update (if an update is available for your phone).

[Q] Setting-up WiFi in Samsung Galaxy Core GT-I8262

Dear All,
I have just bought the Samsung Galaxy Core GT-I8262 two days back. I have setup almost all necessary software using my mobile service provider's 3G network. However, I am unable to setup the wifi. The scenario is - when I am searching available wifi networks through my phone, it is detecting all the available networks among which I am choosing the unprotected one and the phone is getting connected to that w/o any problem. However, all the available wifi network that I may use requires proxy server to access to the internet. So, I am going to wifi setup menu and trying to "modify network config". There when I am selecting the "manual" option under "proxy settings", the "save" button is getting disabled an I am unable to proceed.
What should I do in this circumstance where the Wifi network requires proxy servers. Please help me.
- Sam

Maybe you should use the proxy in
accordance with the wifi.
Yup agree, you will have to use the same proxy and port number as that of the wifi.
