I am using Android Reverse tethering (beta) 2.26 on my Samsung galaxy S3 and all is working fine, I can download and install apps from Google Play, browse the internet, .... my problem is coming when I open some applications - (e.g. when trying to download from Samsung Apps, Talking Tom, Talking Tom2,...) that requires an internet connection, I am getting a No internet Connection message.
Please may you advise on how I can get around this problem.
Thanks

I am now off from my university for the winter break. In my university, I use a manual proxy for WiFi to connect to the internet. I can access any websites and download stuffs through my Internet browser;but when I click default internet requiring apps in my SGA like Android Market, YouTube, GMail,etc. it's not getting connected and gives me "no connection" error. When I use my mobile 3G network ,everything works fine.
At home, I don't use a proxy and everything works fine too. I was using Gingerbread 2.3.4 stock ROM. Now I have flashed CM 7.1 and everything works fine at home like before. However, I am going to my university in 48 hours and I just wanted to ask you guys that why am I not able to access Market,GMail,YouTube etc. in my university through manual proxy?
No one?
My friend with Samsung Galaxy Y is also facing the problem with the manual proxy connection. But people with SpiceMobile, Sony Ericsson, etc. seems to have got no problems.
Hi
I am trying to connect to my office wifi via proxy server.
Scenario 1: I am using Samsung Bada (wave 1), connected to the internet successfully and also any applications that require an internet connection including Samsung's app store.
While, connecting via open networks like home wifi and other friends' wifi also worked without any issue.
Scenario 2: Now I also have an android based Galaxy pocket: even after entering all the required proxy setting as mentioned above, I can access websites via browser but cannot access samsung's app store, google's play store, skype, sipdroid etc.,
I know it is nothing to do with the network administration as I am still accessing via my samsung wave but not via android. Please help me in identifying what I am missing. Is there anything like a network profile I need to assign for these applications?
thanks

Figured out the solution
Sometimes it is pathetic to notice that I didn't receive a single suggestion after I posted my question above. This is not how it used to be when we had smartphones that were just running windows long time ago.
There were lot of suggestions that comes up within a few minutes of posting, now after the invent of android and so many devices we have so many members but knowledge sharing has decreased considerably as each person is busy with solving their own issues.
Well, let me come back to the point - All that I needed to do was to run an app like 'proxydroid' or 'auto proxy lite' from one of our members from xda-developers to solve this issue. In order, to run these apps the device needed to be rooted. I rooted and installed this app and from that instance I am able to make all my apps including skype, google app market and what not all can access internet from my corporate wifi.
However, I noticed that only one application never succeeded this trick - that app is a Voip/SIP application called 'Pronto dialer' which throws a message 'unknown error occurred'. It works fine in an open wifi like at home etc., I am suspecting the proxy setting in the office network clashes with the proxy setting in the dialer...dont know what it is. Anyway I am glad and relieved that I was able to solve 90% of the issue.
Hope the above will be useful for someone with similar limitation from corporate wifi.
right, this one is a weird one, and i just cant figure it out!
i have 2 android devices at home; a Nexus One and a HTC One S. both exhibit the same issue
in short, when I'm connected to wifi at home, i'm unable to use Google Play or send pictures in whatsapp. gPlay says no network or network timeout when opening the Play app, and whatsapp will just sit there trying to send a photo (the little grey clock icon).
when i'm on any other wifi network; home, friends or parents house, or use the vodafone (UK) network they both work.
to make it weirder, i can push install apps via the Play Store via a PC browser when i'm on wifi, i just cant use the Play app on the phone.
so, it seems like something specific to my ISP/home network right?
so far, this is what i've done to try and fix the issue...and the outcome (works = apps function as expected. fails = i continue to experience issues):
- enable Internet Passthrough via USB cable on the phone (uses laptop network connection). this works. Eliminates router issues?
- configure infrastructure wifi with windows7 Internet Connection Sharing and connect phone to this new wifi network. this fails.
- tried another AP from work (Cisco 1130AG - we use these at work where i am able to sucessfully connect). This fails. Eliminates potential wifi chipset compatibility issues?
- full wipe of HOS phone. this fails.
- used google to find many reports of similar issues, but seem to be the opposite of me; they sugest wifi as a solution, with broken APN settings, or to clear cache of the 'google play store' app on the device experiencing issues.
- opened firewall ports on router (TCP/UDP 5228 according to the google play FAQ), also stuck phone in DMZ. this fails
- firmware and full factory reset on router. fails.
it's been going on for so long that i cant remember when it started (a number of months). i've changed ROMs on my HOS phone and that has no effect either. i dont recall having issues relating to anything specific; one day it just started happening and not worked since.
have i missed anything, and can anyone think of any more ideas? is this something i'm just going to have to live with? does google have any human contact support method for this?
Well I found an app that will allow you to share your phone's internet connection with your tablet via bluetooth. It doesn't require root either. And it isn't as slow as you may think it is than a wifi hotspot, but it mainly depends on if you have 3g or 4g and your coverage area and bluetooth version too. I tested it with 3g on android 4.1.2 (phone) and 4.4.2 (tablet) and it works fine. I found it as an alternative since android doesn't allow devices to connect to ad-hoc networks on stock android, therefore making you root and find a kernel that supports connecting to ad-hoc networks, and also if your phone doesn't have hotspot already enabled like mines. The con to this is that it doesn't allow you to use other apps to connect to the internet, but it has a few apps inside itself that uses the internet, like a browser and it allows you to share media between devices. The cool thing about it is that you can share the screen on your phone to your tablet or vice versa and view it there and browse around. I tried youtube, and it doesn't really work, but I guess its good if you want to lookup something on a bigger screen. The name of it is Screen Share (Search for it the play store) and there are two versions, one for your phone and one for your tablet. And all you do is go through the setup wizard on both devices and you're all set up! :good:
Hi. I bought a Lenovo Ideatab A 1000 today. I created a hotspot of my college proxy network using my laptop, and connected the tab to it. I can browse the internet on the tab without any issue, but when I try to open play store or any other google service, it asks me for my login details, and when i enter those and click next it displays - "Can't establish a reliable data connection to the server ". Also i cannot open any https site from the browser (gmail etc ). But to my amaze, when I created a hotspot using my cellular data from my phone ( not a proxy network) , the play store issue gets fixed as long as I'm on that hotspot.
I googled a lot about this issue, and mostly it is mentioned to root the device and edit the hosts file. But I dont want to root my device on the first day itself. Please suggest some fix to get over this error. Thanks
P.S. my friends can access play store using the college proxy network on their android phones
