OK people... some of you people much cleverer than me PLEASE tell me there's a way around this.
My internet at home runs through a proxy server, so I have the IP address and port.
This internet connection is broadcast using wifi around my house. My PCs can connect to this just fine, using the IP and port in my Windows networking configuration.
My Vibrant will NOT work. Here are the scenarios I am dealing with :
If I connect to the wireless I can see my home network, and browse Windows network shares on my phone just fine.
If I go into the wireless | advanced | proxy settings (I am running a Bionix 2.2 ROM - Onyx 4.2 I think) and set my proxy IP and port then I can browse the internet in the default browser but NO other apps will make an internet connection. Odd since the proxy connection seems to me to be attached to the wireless connection, not the browser specifically.
So I installed and configured transproxy 3.8 beta (which doesn't seem to be vibrant specific, but installs and configures OK), and entered the same details and enabled the proxy connection, and NOTHING, including the default browser, will make an internet connection.
In all cases my connection to the wireless network itself is perfectly fine.
I've spent a couple of days trying to find a sensible solution to this, but have found nothing helpful.
Anyone out there had any similar experiences, or better yet found some kind of awesome solution ?
Very much appreciate any answers.
Ok before I give up completely, no one has gotten a Vibrant properly connected through a proxy server? It would at least be something to know it is known to be impossible, then I could stop obsessing and concentrate on being annoyed?
Anyone?

are you sure you use a proxy server? I've never seen a home network that uses one. A NAT firewall / router isn't a proxy server.
If you are running a proxy server, what do your proxy server logs say?
Can you access services on other than port 80? (email for example)
Proxy on a home network isn't out of the norm. I know guys who run them to block certain sites from their kids. Yes I know there are other options out there, they just decided to use a proxy server.

I know I am reviving a old thread, but I am also looking for a solution to this. I have tried using AutoProxy with no luck. It configures OK, but when it is on it is as if I have no network connection at all.
I don't need authentication, it is a HTTP 1.1 compliant proxy and all I need is host and port. In my case I set up a RabbIT4 proxy on a VPS linux host in a data center with multiple redundant tier one network providers. My proxy minifys HTML, JavaScript, and CSS - then gzips it. It also replaces ADs with a 1x1 transparent gif and re-samples all images to a quality 20 jpeg.
I used to run an ISP and we did this as an optional service for our dial-up customers. It REALLY improves slow connections.
So anyhow I would appreciate it if you let me know of any solutions you found this might work. Anyone with ideas please chime in.
Try flashing a different rom and see if you have the same problem....... It may be as simple as a conflict with that rom.
I have never heard of a case where this kind of problem exists. It sounds like a rom to wireless router conflict, but assuming it is exactly what you say, then if the setting are set for example, to have controls on access then, it would stand to reason remove them from the server side it should resolve the problem. But I would look at trying a different rom 1st,
The proxy works great on my desktop, and the phone's ROM has the option to set a proxy for the Wi-Fi connection (which works). The issue is I don't need the proxy for my Wi-Fi, that is fast - I need it when I am on the edge network, which is often.
I can't change ROM, Trigger 3.3 is too perfect for me to budge. I have both busybox and iptables, so I don't know what is up.
EDIT, I have tried 3 more apps with the same results, either they don't actually set the proxy and I have net, or they do set it and I lose connection. To be fair I have only been able to test when on Wi-Fi and I could set that from the ROM options, I need to try testing when I am on cellular - I just don't think it is going to make a difference.

Proxies can be your friend, my friend! Imagine getting about 30kps on edge and your trying to look something up real quick, but the pages keep timing out. Meanwhile right next to you with the same basic connection is me, happily surfing away.
Why, because instead of sending my request to the website it went to my proxy, sitting in a class 3 data center in Los Angeles. My proxy made the request for me with its OC3 Internet connection, then took all the white space out of all the HTML, JavaScript, and CSS - then it gzipped it. It also converted all images to highly compressed low quality jpegs. Finally, it sent me back the reduced size data (reduced by about 78% in fact) and all the processing happened in the blink of an eye.
With a fast Internet connection the proxy just gives you lower quality pages with twice the page load time, but on slow connections it can be up to 5 times faster. Hmm. . . 5 times faster, where have I hear that before?? Oh yea, AOL, Earthlink, and others were promising that with their "Accelerated dial-up". Guess what?! This is exactly what they where doing. It is an old Dial-Up ISP trick. That is why I know how to do it. Now if only my phone would co-operate. Friggin proxies!

Do tell [10 char]
Build prop edit but I dont have a server to test with...any chance you could set up a generic account on your server to test with? Pm the details instead of putting in open if you can.
Basically adding the entry
Code:
net.gprs.http-proxy=yourproxy
To the build prop. Im not certain if there are any other lines I need to add but would like to try.

I lost the VPS server in the data center I was using. For best results you want the proxy to have a much better Internet connection than what is being proxied. For example - my connection in the data center was 100Mbs both up and down. When I proxied something that had the basic bandwidth of a dial-up connection in the neighborhood of 32-56kbps the speed boost was about 5 times faster. Doing the same thing for my 5Mbs cable connection was actually about twice as slow, meaning my page load times in seconds showed doubled my average total time to completely load a page and speedtest.net showed about half the bandwidth.
So this trick here is the proxy really needs a VERY, VERY good and fast Internet connection - like you get from a good hosting provider. However, if you just want to test connectivity you can try setting up your own proxy.
Here is what I was using http://khelekore.org/rabbit/ - This runs via Java, so it should work wherever you have Java available. I have successfully run in on FreeBSD, Linux, Solaris Unix, and Windows.

Well this is a HTTP1.1 proxy, so you can pick any open port you want other than port 80 and it is HTTP traffic. So regardless of if they are using port blocking or protocol blocking, there really is not much way to keep you from using/running a proxy.
Any recommended other ports(like commonly open ones)

Certain port numbers are pre-assigned to particular applications by an international body called IANA, the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority.
8080 is assigned for HTTP-Alt, so it is the most commonly used and rarely blocked
1080 is assigned to socks (as in socks proxy) so the same applies
Just avoid a port number below 1024 so you don't conflict with a commonly assigned port and you should be fine.
I have an awesome idea...because I can't figure out how to set this ish up..set it up on your connection..i know it will be slow but just for proof of concept, send the details for access and i'll test it out..or you can edit your build.prop and test it. yep..unless you know an easier to setup one.

Or try this: http://aliveproxy.com/socks5-list/ or http://x-proxy.info/socks.php

This has been one problem that's plagued me with both the Evo 4G and now the 3D. Barnacle works but makes the internet painfully slow(er) and Wireless Tether for Root works on 4G but not 3G. Well, I finally figured it out. I'm not going to go into the details because I'm not quite sure I understand exactly what it's doing yet, but it comes down to Sprint's MTU and the tether apps expecting it to be something other than it is. All that is needed to fix it is to double the MTU from 1472 to 2944, and for whatever reason Wifi Tether will start acting right again. One side effect of this is that your ping will go up by about 20-40% but it may also help increase your download speeds ever so slightly too.
First you'll want to download the latest wifi tether from either the market or their site here.
Once you have that installed you'll want to open up an adb shell and, as root, type: setprop persist.data_netmgrd_mtu 2944
After that is set, toggle airplane mode on and off so that it uses the new value.
Next open Wifi Tether and go to Menu -> Settings -> enable Routing Fix
And that's it, wifi tether should work at full speed and the settings will stick with you after reboots. The value is originally set from the build.prop but as long as you don't wipe your data partition it should last.

xHausx, I followed your directions and now wireless tether works on both 3G and 4G. However, I now have a wakelock issue. I uninstalled wireless tether and the wakelock issue is gone. Reinstall wireless tether, do your method, and then wakelock issue is back.
Phone has only stock applications plus wireless tether. Using stock ROM and kernel. Any ideas?
Haus, check out my thread weird way to get wireless tether ... Maybe it can help you figure out what's going on.

This did work for me, but... I'm not sure you've found all the issues just yet. I ran about a dozen speed tests from speedtest.net and WiFi Tether seems very inconsistent and slow. Barnacle on the other hand is fast and smooth. I'm in a fringe area and Barnacle gives me 400k to 500k speed that is quite consistent. WiFi Tether on the other hand, while it does now work with this workaround, is about 100k up and down and it is very inconsistent and it stalls a lot. I'll stick with Barnacle for now because it seems to work well with no issues.

I believe Barnacle probably sets it to the usual default of 1500. If you set it to that wifi tether will work but it is painfully slow(er). I just doubled the E3D's default and hoped it would be the right size when the packets got fragmented(split into smaller chuncks). If someone has the time to play around with it some youthey could probably find a better MTU that would allow for even better speeds.

I think Barnacle changes this setting to 1500 by default, which works but is an extremely inefficient setting to use on Sprint's 3G. Hence why it is so slow.

It's still using the stock MTU then. I'm pretty sure what's happening is the data's being lost in a PMTUD black hole. It'll work when transferring small amounts of data but when you start using more bandwidth it gets flooded with error messages and starts ignoring you.
Check to see if it's changing it by replacing setprop with getprop, if it did set correctly try rebooting your phone or turning airplane mode on and off.
Encryption?
I've got the 3.1 beta2 installed and did this tweak. Wifi tether works fine for me with encryption disabled. But with it enabled, I can't get internet access. I'm sure I'm using the right passphrase and my laptop connects to tether. But I can't get data. Barnacle tether works fine for me with wep enabled. Any suggestions? Thanks!
I'm getting crappy download, upload, and 3G connectivity speeds on my Virgin Mobile LG Optimus V. I'm rooted, running CyanogenMod-7.2.0-BACKside-IHO-KANG, Build ID: eng.jerry.20111122.082819, Build Number: GRJ90 (11222011/VM670), and Kernal Version: 2.6.32.9-v3.3 [email protected] #1, and Android Version: 2.3.7.
I've read that flashing Franco Kernal may help a little bit with network speeds, but that was for the Optimus S. The Optimus S & V are pretty much the same, so would it be safe to flash Franco's Kernel with the ROM that I'm using now?
I've also read that dialing ##3282#, and editing the HTTP PD Port to value 0 and Address to 0.0.0.0 would then increase download speeds by 0.20-0.60 MBPS, but that was for the HTC Evo. I tried dialing to service code ##3282# on my dialer, and nothing happened.
Finally, I also read that doing a PRL Update manually and inserting/replacing Virgin Mobiles PRL file with a new and updated PRL file will significantly increase signal and speeds, but its risky, and requires depth to do so. Also, it allows to connect to Verizon's towers, therefore it would then not allow any data connectivity for browser, market, etc.
So, folks, my question is, is there ANYTHING or ANY WAY I can improve my download/browser speeds? Would downloading a proxy app from the Market work and apply faster speeds for downloading on my phone?
Thanks for any and all help, as it will be greatly appreciated!

It is super difficult. And really it'd be like putting a supercharger on a pinto. Sounds great when you tell your friends, but you're not going to win any races. The real problem is sprints network, and the fact that we buy the cheapest service available from people who lease a very small percentage of their bandwidth. I get 50- 125 kbps consistently. Not allot to do besides try another carrier.

I used to get 200kbps download when I first got with Virgin Mobile with the LG Optimus V, now it seems my speeds are slowly deteriorating. And it doesn't help that Virgin Mobile is gonna bring a data cap on their 3G in 2012 to only 2.5GB, after that, they are gonna put a maximum set download speed cap after the customer uses up the 2.5GB in the month. Which sucks for me bc I'm always on Facebook, Linkdin, Twitter, browsing the market, web, downloading, etc. :/

ok thanks. i may try it. still a little skeptical as a few of the comments mentioned that it broke their wifi and that the developer didn't respond to their emails.
franco's kernel is for the msm7227 chipset (unless he built one for the OS I'm unaware of,) the OV/OS have msm7627.
they are NOT compatible.
I got nasty side effects back when I flashed a msm7227 kernel on my OV for experimental purposes. it took a couple of days before it would boot consistently again even though I put a compatible kernel back on it immediately after it locked up ugly from the wrong chipset compiled kernel. It would freeze on boot until the battery was pulled for a minute or two.
I can get much better download speeds in a debian chroot on the OV with multiple download threads, using axel, but I don't know of any way to multithread downloads in Android.
As an example, my average DL speed ranges from 1-30K/sec. With axel, I can pull down over 100K/sec, with no other variables obviously changed. the Android browser very rarely goes over 100K/sec on my OV. (I am in a lousy service area.)
SetDNS (or other similar apps) "speed up the connection" by taking some of the guess work out of trying to find the resource on the web.
Most of the slowness in wireless comes from the fact that a wireless network is like a hub (in that it's a shared medium) so if two or more people transmit at the same time there is a network collision (two or more signals interfear with each other keeping the tower from understanding the request) per TCP/IP protocal all devices involved in the collision must back off for a random amount of time (to ensure they don't all retransmit at the same time again) and try again. This effect grows as the size of the wireless network grows and the more people who are on it. It effects cellular much more than wifi as you can have many more people on a cell tower as it covers much more ground.
***Intermission***
Now when your phone makes a DNS request (usually the browser, but some apps as well) there are actually many steps involved in trying to turn a url into an ip address, there are mutliple ways other than dns to turn a url into an address (most of which are legacy but it still tries anyway) trying all of these ways in addition to trying to find a DNS server means multiple request on the network which increases the likelyhood of collisions thus increasing the latency and causing timeouts (this is why sometimes your browser will start to load a page and then just hang there for awhile.)
***Almost there, Hang on just a little longer***
Now back to setDNS, this app allows you to specify a dns IP address (instead of it trying to find one) thus forcing it to use that address before trying anyother method, so your phone browser (or app) doesn't waste time looking for a dns or trying legacy methods. Thus reducing the request and collision/timeouts on a network, overall making your phone load stuff much quicker.
Works well enough that I use the web version of gmail and google reader instead of native apps (though native apps are generally quicker as they don't have to load the ui everytime you open it and sometimes the app will use an ip instead of a url, though some apps use url's in the code because the resources at needs have dynamically allocated (and thus always changing) ip addresses.)
Does anyone know if the Turbo/Supercharger scripts actually work? I assume any difference seen is minimal and also it may wear down your battery even faster. Battery life on these phones is already precious.
Hi Hope you can assist,
I recently upgraded to Honeycomb "3.55.405.1" using globatron steps: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1358758
Everything with regards to S-Off, Rooting and Updating the Honeycomb image went perfectly.
The only issue I have is that when using the Wireless, it continuously disconnects and re-connects.
I am a "newbee" and do not have permission to post a reply in Glabatron's Post.

Thanking you in advance.
Can you try to capture a logcat output of what happens when you get a disconnection?
I don't have any problems with WIFI myself.
I have the same issue. The wifi disconnects and the reconnects. Usually it reconnects fairly quickly. Wifi under GB was rock solid.
Unfortuneately, I have no idea what a logcat output is let alone to try and capture one when I get a disconnect.
Another question is what ROM were you on before the HC update? A lot of people have been running HC for a long time and I have not seen reports previously of WIfi problems.
Stock GB. US Wifi only flyer.
The only thing I have done is S-Off and Root on both GB and HC. No custom roms.

If it makes any difference, this Flyer was purchased in South Africa.
One of the Posts I read mentioned they had the same issues, and had to re-flash which solved the issue. Is this suggested, and if so, will I go through these steps again:
Post #66 > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1358758&page=7 "zieka"
fastboot erase cache
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip <downloaded file name>
Flashing will fail with Error 90 first time due to hboot change
fastboot flash zip <downloaded file name>
The on screen indicator on the phone will not reach fully to the right end of the progress bar, this is ok
fastboot reboot
If I run a continuous ping to the router, I get time a long list of replies, then about 4 disconnects were you can see the Wireless Icon in the bottom right disappear and come back,
Searching for "logcat" to see if I can find steps.
Same problem

The only issue I have is that when using the Wireless, it continuously disconnects and re-connects.

You have to have root for a logcat...
The only difference between the link above and the Flyer is the last step. As we do not have a trackball, volume down + c instead stops the log. After pulling the log, upload the contents to pastebin and post the link here.
I also have this problem, but only on my home wifi network - when I connect at the office everything seems fine. I am using the same ISP at both locations, could it be something connected to the router setup I am using?
I had this problem on gb prior to most recent version. I then went to hc via globatron method and problem came back so i have reverted to gb again
Much prefer hc though, so would be keen on tracking down the issue

Hi Thank you for the link.
I downloaded Terminal Emulator from the market. Started a continuous ping from my Laptop to the IP address of the Flyer.
On the Flyer I started Terminal Emulator, ran:
su
granted permissions
logcat > /sdcard/logfile.txt
it says - Waiting for device -
Left the ping Running while singing onto Skype and browsing the net and waited for wireless to disconnect. Once it disconnected I pressed Vol Down + C
Looked for the logfile I saved.
All the log file says is :
*deamon not running. startin it now on port 5038 *
*deamon started successfully *
Nothing else, what am I missing? I am downloading the "Android-sdk_r15-windows.zip file" now to see if its needed : http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
Should I be using anything on the laptop or is all steps done on the Flyer?
I attempted running adb ppp logcat > /sdcard/logfile.txt and got error
Error: Could not open adb Service: logcat. Error: device not found
adb version :
Android Debug Bridge version 1.0.26
If I type adb devices :
List of devices attached
#
Nothing Listed
Running a ping from the flyer to www.google.com i get a list of replies then when the wireless disconnects it says : Ping: sendmsg : Network is unreachable
I have enabled Debugging mode and gone through the steps again, still cant give any more feedback, log file does not say anything
Static IP address seems to help

I have tested and noted the same. At work 100% stable, home WiFi is the problem.
1 major difference I found, work uses static ip addresses, home is DHCP. I configured the Flyer with a static IP and its been stable fo about 20 minutes. Will continue testing and report back tomorrow if its 100% stable.
What router are u using at home, I have the standard Telkom Do broadband thingy.
Going to run through the setting, maybe a firmware update on the router

That's a fascinating discovery, thanks. I'm going to give it a go and see how I fare. I have a Belkin router, tried the update route but there wasn't anything available.
Confirmed - static IP fixes the issue (thanks El_Diablo666). Also WiFi throughput seemed very low prior to disabling dhcp.
For correlation: My WiFi network is through a new belkin N600 router using 802.11n (20Mhz channel spread) with WPA2 (problem also happens using WPS). I have the 32GB + 3G Flyer. I had to download the official honeycomb RUU as the OTA was not showing (but the device has never been rooted or s-off, only official ROMs). Perhaps HTC have suspended the OTA?

Static IP - Stable connection
As a few have found, setting a static IP address resolves the disconnect issue.
It's still strange that with Gingerbread WiFi was 100% stable on DHCP.
Turns out I have a Belkin router as well. Anyone think the issue could be linked to this, or does the issue lie with Honeycomb?

Could be honeycomb as i'm using a vodafone Easybox 803a.
Eeebox and hd7 working 100%, no WiFi Problem...
I'm a total noob with all those WiFi things, so how to Set up a static ip?

Seems to be an issue across multiple devices on Honeycomb. I'll dig into it a bit and see if I can package a flashable zip ix for it.
My wifi issue is with the speed. I have a Wireless N router but the Flyer seems to only detect 5 mbps, where as the android phone right next to it shows 65 mbps. Then when I run speed test it maxes out at around 1.5 mpbs. My laptop on the same LAN connected wireless gets around 12 mbps. I wonder why the Flyer is throttled to much?
Can someone with the disconnection problem tell me what they have the disconnection policy set to under settings-wireless->wifi settings->disconnection policy ?

That sucks, I'm getting 19.2 Mb/s on a 20 Mb/s connection, so the flyer can go faster. Try running in mixed G/N mode.
On my DNA when I run speed test it goes to a server automatically and I get maybe 12 mb speed. If I go into settings of speed test and select the server which is actually closest to me, my speeds are 40mb+. So my question is which one is my phone using and can I make my phone use the closer one?

The servers listed in the speedtest.net app (I'm assuming this is the one you're using) have absolutely nothing to do with how fast your internet will be. No matter which server you choose, your actual internet speed will be just as fast. When you run a speed test, your phone uploads then downloads a test file to and from the remote server. This allows the app to measure how fast your internet is. When you aren't running a speed test, your phone isn't connected to the server any more, and the server has no effect on your internet. Some servers will tell you that your internet is faster than others because some of the servers don't have as high a capacity as others, and your connection may be too fast for them to measure. What does affect the speed is how good your home internet is. or how strong of a 4G signal you have.
