[Q] Unable to save proxy settings - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am currently running the O2 ICS ROM on my GSII (rooted): Courtesy of Faryaab's fine thread.
Base: I9100XXLPR
Build: XWLP3
Kernel: XWLP3
I need to use a proxy to access https:// sites. I can input the info by 'long-pressing' the wifi name > Modify Network > Show advanced options > . At this point I input the Proxy address and port then click save, but it doesn't! When I go back in the Proxy settings are reset back to 'None'.
Anyone have a solution to this - is it a bug? I will be updating to the new UK ROM when I get home which might help, otherwise I am scuppered!

You need to download an app.
I have ASProxy (paid) and it works fine for me to get outside my work's proxy server. I had tried a couple prior that didn't work for my situation.
There are others (both paid and free). Most of them require root, which you already have.

I may give something like that a go - but for the time being, I'm actually trying to use the proxy server that the service provider offers, the problem is I can't get my phone to save and use the settings. Every time I try it just seems to default back to no proxy.
Does ICS not support the use of proxy servers via the wireless settings? There is an option for it?
Edit: Having looked at ASProxy that seems to allow you to get around the fact that most Apps do not use the proxy settings you specify when you set up your wifi connection. Although I will need something like that, at the moment I can't even get the browser (default or Dolphin) to use the proxy I want as it won't 'stick' in the wifi settings.

Unable Wifi Proxy Address and Port
I am also facing the same issue on Coolpad Note 3 running Custom Lollipop 5.1.
When I enter the proxy details and click save and go back to check the advanced settings, they are gone.
Please guide me where I can fix this.
Thanks

[Q] Proxy Settings

Hello,
Im fairly new to all this, i used to have a G1 that supported proxy settings for the WIFI via a custom rom. However my x10 mini pro doesn't seem to have this, is there anyway i can get this extra settings?
Thanks,
Ant..
ok - so now that custom roms can be installed on this phone, does anyone know how the proxy settings are added to other custom rom phones? I have done some searching but it has taken me back here!!!
What do you want the setting for?
If you want to open the blocked sites then there is apps to do that.
i have the same problem- to conect ot my school network you need to be able to edit proxy settings!
Hi there
you can try this app:
WiFiACE (for WiFi Advanced Config Editor). You can find it in the market or via the appbrain app.
I use it to connect to my Uni network.
Cheers

[Q] MMS problem

Hello

Thanks a lot!
Pleaaaaassssse help!
I don't know about samsung tab but if it happen to me I will flash a new rom.
Sent from my ViewPad7 using xda premium
It would be helpful to post a little more details on your Vpad7 basics so that maybe, one of us can help figure it out or test our ROM:
Let's take a simplistic step-by-step approach first -
a. are you using stock/factory ROM or rooted, custom ROM including verison #
b. your mobile carrier for the SIM card, both SMS and MMS enabled & working on another quad-band GSM phone
c. SMS working on the Vpad7 as is - both incoming & outgoing
d. using the default Messaging feature/module installed or using something else,
and if you haven't try it already, download & use Handcent for SMS/MMS
f. if you have already done all or some of the above, do a Master Reset on the Vpad7 first to clear all the existing settings, boot into RECOVERY to wipe dalvik/cache/system, and then flash, as suggested, a different custom ROM.
g. any technical support or help from your mobile phone carrier
Cheers - mastering everything on the V is a challenge !
First , i've tried with standard rom. No succes. Then i flashed my vpad7 , installed TJ's rom and... same problem.
BTW you're true , i'll try my sim on another phone , try MMS. And i'll try to put another sim in my vpad7 too.
But , i just think one little thing is missing , because when i look at the other froyo's config , some little thing are changing between diferent phone model.
So , i think viewpad need a personnal configuration.
I got Gosms and tried to configure MMS on the program settings , but same problem.
I've called the technical support but can't help me and told me : "we have some configuration on website , try these , if it don't work , not our fault"
Thanks for your help
Does anyone can send me any working config for MMS on viewpad 7? Just want to see what's different.
THANKS...
These are mine under Settings > Wireless & networks > Mobile Network > APNs, they're OTA/downloaded automatically & self-configured
AT&T MMS (wap.cingular)
Proxy (Not Set)
Port (Not Set)
Username & Password (Not Set)
Server (Not Set)
MMSC (http://mmsc.cingular.com)
MMS proxy (66.209.11.32)
MMS port (80)
MCC (310)
MNC (410)
Authentication (Not Set)
APN type (mms)
Note - these are nearly identical to AT&T WAP, which is usually configured for web browsing with data enabled.
Ok , i tried all solutions and then:
My sim works on other phone , i can send MMS .
Another Sim on my viewpad ( different operator) , once configured , worked. So it's not a viewpad or sim problem , just a Digicel configuration problem.
Any solution?
MMS Working Alternative
I have a Htc Evo 4G synergy rom,I tried all fixes to no avail...I did happen to get internet working..so 1 day while texting my daughter ,we both use Go sms pro ,i went into the setting where you can doodle,well theres an attachment feature to insert images and add a picture...well it works!! And now my solution is here...works for me.

[Q] How to change proxy in ICS KP8 CM9

How can i set proxy in Android 4.0.3. In wifi settings > advanced there is no option to set proxy. In GB there was an issue with proxy not working for apps, only supported browser. With Android 3, this was fixed and i was looking forward to using my device at work with ICS but i am disappointed that im not able to set a proxy for my corporate network. Can i do this by shell (editing some file) or something ?
Please guide me, i am using CM9
nvr mind i found it, if you long press the network and select modify and then tick advanced options.
you can close this thread now.

[Q] Rooted lg g3, No APNs, no ability to add APNs

Hi, so before I go out and purchase a new SIM I was hoping someone could help me. Originally I was trying to alter the MMS port set in my APN because MMS was failing over wifi due to running Adblock. In doing so I somehow managed to erase my Internet APN. I believe it was just set to vzwinternet.
So on my lg g3 I unfortunately have no way to add an APN, it works fine for wifi and calls still but I have no cellular internet at the moment. The only option when going to APN settings is Reset to Defaults, which does nothing as it just shows "No APNs". The mobile networks option is actually greyed out under Settings->Wireless & Networks->More... but I'm able to get to APN Settings still by using an app.
Possible solutions I've thought of, does anyone knows if these are possible?
A) Is there any way to edit my build.prop to allow me to add an APN such as "ril.sales_code=LOL & ro.csc.sales_code=LOL" (I've tried this it doesn't work).
B) Is it possible to re-add it by replacing apns-conf.xml in /system/etc/ ? If that is possible could someone post theirs so I can replace it?
C) Are there any root apps to allow me to add an APN? (from my research there aren't any since android 4.0)
Or am I just going to have to go out and get a new SIM? I've already master reset hoping it was software related and that hasn't helped.
EDIT: Nevermind guys fixed it by doing a reflash back to factory with lg flashtool. Nothing to see here *whistles*
Hi Jab
I met the same issue.
Could you please tell me how to reflash back to factory?
Thank you
You need to root it, and use shortcut master to open APN setting, same case with my US Cellular G3

TCL A30 android 11, stock ROM rooted visible wireless

Hi, I have a TCL A30 and I am attempting to use visible wireless. The problem is, I can't change my apn settings. I tried to edit the .xml file that contains the apn and but no luck. The file doesn't save. I have tried so many different things and it is the only thing that is preventing me from really being able to use the service. When I use adb to launch the apn setting, the options for mvno are greyed out. It's as if the sim card contains something that forces the os to not let you change any apn settings. I've been working at this for a couple of days and the only thing I am able to use is vzwinternet. I want to be able to use hotspot and high speed data and the only roadblock is these apn settings. There has to be some way to manually configure apn settings that I am overlooking. If anyone has any insight please let me know. It would be greatly appreciated. TCL A30 running android 11 rooted.
