[Q] How do I set WiFi proxy settings for use in Android Applications? - General Questions and Answers

I have an Android phone and tablet (see my signature for models), both of which I use at home on my home WiFi network and at college, which uses a proxy server on their network to censor websites and whatnot. I can connect fine to the college's network through a web browser, but the applications on either of my devices cannot seem to connect using the pre-configured proxy settings. These applications include the Play Store, Yahoo! Mail, and various other applications that needs to sync. I have noticed that whenever I open a web browser on my Android devices, a popup box prompting me for my network Username and Password, and I have to press "Log In" to connect to the network.
So my question is this; is there a way to tell my apps to use the proxy settings and my username/password to connect to the network?
(I have yet to try an application called ProxyDroid - it looks like it will work, but I will have to try it tomorrow to see. It might have some problems working on JB 4.2.2.)

ProxyDroid doesn't work in 4.2.2, unfortunately.

Hi,
You should try Drony or SandroProxy

[Q] Faking an IP address?

Is it possible to change the Proxy settings or us a web proxy to obtain a fake ip address?
the purpose would be to use an NHL app to watch games that I am otherwise blacked out on.
EDIT: Moto D2, rooted
If I take you right, you have problems with your Provider side proxy.
Well, thinking about that, you wont be able to switch THAT one, you might be able (didnt try it myself though) to additionally use one, which will give you a fake ip to web servers ( for example), but you still wont be able to use an app to watch TV if your provider prevents you from doing so, because you cant get rid of the blocking proxy.
Hope I hit the point

Why should I use a signature?!

Problem with FB application Android

Hi everybody,
I would like someone to help me with this problem. The thing is that my fb app shows me Lost Connection every single time I connect through the mobile network, but messages does update and I can chat. When I connect trough wifi there's no problem. The background for my case is that I bought an Xperia Play AT&T in USA but I am using it in a south america network. Also I deleted the port and proxy from my APN, because I couldn't download apps from google play neither browse from the original browser. Once I deleted the proxy and port I could browse and download from any apps except facebook. I would like to know if there's a way to fix it without adding again the port and proxy cause I won't be able to browse freely. Thanks!!:good:
Any help there??

[Q] S3 has problems connecting via wifi.

Whenever I am on wifi most websites don't load on both my browsers. It is weird, it will connect to gmail.com but not google.com. My apps that need internet connectivity also sometimes work. For example, the xda devolpers app and my yahoo fantasy basketball app don't work but my google drive works. I recently downloaded a "my data manager" app to keep track of my data usage. Does anybody have any ideas?
EDIT: I'm running Paranoid Android's Jellybean rom.

[Q] Configuring Microsoft Exchange in Android

Hello everyone, I bought the Nexus 5 yesterday and I was trying to configure my office email in the phone. I used the same settings as in Outlook in my laptop but I don't know where to enter some of the settings which I believe is required for the mail application to work.
In the Email app I have entered the Username, Password and Server. The value of Port was 443 and the security type SSL/TLS.
My Outlook is also connected by SSL but there are a couple of other settings which I don't know where to enter in Android. The settings are shown in the pic attached. Please help me out with this issue.

Yes I did, but it doesn't work. I think I need to enter the Exchange proxy settings somewhere. But where is the question.

maybe you could try some play store apps I think there are plenty of them
Maybe this will work with SandroProxy, app tab where you can redirect traffic just for one app and transparent proxy.
