Anyone know of an app that will boost my wifi speed at work over others?
Server speed is good just so many other devices and pcs it makes mine very slow. Its very frustrating 
Thanks in advance

you can configure this on your wifi router. if your wifi ap is basic one it might not have this settings. but most routers come with option to set high priority, qos etc.
Im at work tho mate.. im sure this can be done with just my phone

Cannot see how a receiver can receive priority over others without it being set at source .
jje
The whole point of Traffic shaping would be lost if any device can set itself to a higher priority.
Some packets can set an URG-flag which stands for least-latency routing instead of least-cost routing however it's still the router's call if he respects this and if yes how he treats them.
Something else is probably incorrectly configured. It's been reported several times that the S3 is very picky when several Wifi AP's with the same name (SSID) and in reach of each other are configured on the same channel (frequency). However most hobby-admins even know not to do that, so if your company is doing it you might suggest basic network training for your IT guys. (The basics of the Wifi protocol are in roughly the 3. semester at university)
You might want to try whether forcing the device to 5Ghz band will make it better since that band is far less crowded.
Also you could check WHAT causes the issues. Often it's not the bandwith by itself but either the router's connection table (a VPN to an external server is a very good but cumbersome solution) or the DHCP (use OpenDNS or Google DNS)

Because, according to your latest signature, you're on ParanoidAndroid which is not Sammy-based.
This information was lacking in your prior post.
Im using omega.. is this only possible on samsung based roms? Would it make much difference in me doing it? Id be happy to flash a sammy rom if it can get me a better connection at work. It takes around 10 mins just to post on here when im at work. And thats only after turning wifi off and on. I get good signal at work, and the speed tests are good. Hmmm

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!

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
These are pure HTTP proxys (like RabbIT4) and might work better: http://www.x-proxy.info/highanon.php

Hello
Im a proudly owner of a S3 and a GNexus and I have some problems regarding Wi-Fi, I know that this is not an S3 problem but its and android problem but perhaps someone can help me in here..
the thing is, I have two routers in my house, one is the master one for cable/internet company and the other is and range extender to expand the signal of the wireless lan....
every morning, when I wake up, if I go to the floor where is the first router both my S3 and Gnexus connect successfully to the wireless network and evevyrthing works fine....however if I go to the floor where the bridge/extender is located, both phones detects the wireless network, however can't connect to it, on wireless settings says...Obtaining ip address...and stays there for ages...and nothing...cant connect...for me to connect to the bridge, I have to restart the bridge and both phones connect immediately...
please any ideas??

Are you sure the second device extends the main access point and not just create a new WLAN?
Have you updated the firmware of both devices?
What devices do you have?
Am I understanding correctly that your laptop does work even though both Android devices don't (before you reboot the extender)?
Nope...its not creating another wireless lan... it extends the main plan correctly cause my laptop connects perfectly to the Wi-Fi from the extender even prior to the restart of the extender....
The devices are...main router from the ISP- Thomson

Dynamic would be the friendliest to work with... you could try if it's a DHCP issue by setting a fixed IP when the problem occurs, but I don't think it is.
This is not a problem with the phone(s)....is with the router config. Contact the manufacturer for further assistance...

If you got a router and a range extender, there's nothing you need to fiddle with because the range extender will just Relay DHCP requests between client and master router.
Two routers* pushing out IP addresses is a no go, there will be a conflict in your scenario, and all range extenders will of course take this into account.
If you had two "real" routers*, it would still be possible to set everything up, although then there's a lot to take into account.
* Router is a inaccurate term used for the consumer grade combination devices. They're in fact a router, a switch, and a wireless access point bundled in a neat package. Sometimes with a xDSL modem or something on the external interface of the router.
Try setting the IP to static and more important, try giving it a default gateway to the routers IP. That should make it easy for your phone to directly look for the gateway it is looking for.

I have three routers, one main, one extender, one repeater (creating a whole new network for other building). Both main and repeater are the same network. All is config as per DD-WRT documentation. All three have latest DD-WRT.
After trying many things, all I can say is the (or mine at least) S3 always has trouble when many APs are nearby. I don't use VOIP because of that (it could disconnect at any time).
Next step on my list is to have 3 different SSIDs (only two now) and try using tasker to debounce the wifi switching (if that is even possible).
Hey,
Does anyone know of an app what can help me automatically switch Wi-Fi based in hirsignal strengths, I have 3 connections in the house all of them have the same SSID but they're all in different places around the house basically I am looking for an app to reconnect Wi-Fi if there is an available connectable SSID 20% stronger signal.
All of the apps I've found only support different SSID's which is rather annoying.
You can give tasker a try, im not sure if it will allow you to do exactly what you ask. Surely it will be much easier if all the name of the 3 wifi were different, at that point I think android should automatically switch to the most powerful one.

Hey,
I realised tht if they had different names android would automatically switch but there are like 15 wireless devices in the house and setting then all up to 3 wireless connections is a hassle especially with setting up static IP's and proxy settings for adblock plus.
Also when we have friends and family over they're more than welcome to use the Wi-Fi so it makes more hassle.
I'll have a look into tasker, thanks for your reply.
Update:
I'm so not understanding this Tasker, I can't work out how to do this... I've done a few other things but seriously can't get my head around this exact need.
Hi Guys,
I have 3 android devices (xperia s, htc one x and a galaxy s3) connected to a wifi network. This is kind of a protected network and there is a firewall involved. Also the devices are getting IP via DHCP. The problem is that i am able to access web site via browser but when i try from the application, its showing i don't have internet connection. There is no proxy configured in this network. There is an IP filtering in the router which filters the IPs starting with a particular series. But the web site and the application which i am trying to use are supposed to use this IP series.
I've come across issues with internet connections on mobile devices. This might not work for you, but it has worked for me in the past.
I assume your devices detect all of the settings you need automatically?
If so, you may need to manually change some things.
1) Check your IP and make sure it's set right for your network
2) Check your DNS settings. Sometimes the default ones don't work properly.
Try:
8.8.8.8
8.8.4.4
These are from Google's OpenDNS and have served me well in the past.
If all else fails, check the network itself.
Hope this helps

Thanks for the reply.. but as i mentioned earlier, the device is getting IP and other stuffs via DHCP. I am not allowed to configure something statically. It has to come via DHCP. But the interesting fact is that an iPAD in the same network is able to get internet in both browser as well as applications.
Hey, if you need to get settings via DHCP then you should talk to your network admin for the settings

Nope..still facing the same issue.. internet is available in browser. but not in the apps..
There is no problem with your phone. I am sure that changing your router will fix this problem. Try another router with your internet connection and tell me if that worked.
Press thanks if I helped you!
We have tried that as well.. The situation got little worse with the new router. Now Internet is not working with ipad as well. But it's working in browser for both ipad and android. Another thing I have observed is that the Web pages load blazing fast in a windows and blackberry but the same site loads very slow in android and ios. As I mentioned earlier, the network is having a high security with firewall and encryption. Is there any limitations for android and ios to work with these kind of highly secure network??

Hi - I was experiencing this on a Galaxy Nexus with no SIM card only connected to WiFi - on a WiFi router that used to work.
The solution was to
1. Open up DHCP settings on the phone (Settings -> WiFi -> My Network -> Advanced)
2. Manually set them to something that's wrong.
3. Save.
4. Set DHCP back to what it was.
5. Save.
May not work for you, but for me, after about 30 seconds the app store and other apps started working again without having to do a factory reset or doing anything to my router/network.
Let me know if this helped!
Hi all. At home I turn off my wifi when I go to work and when I turn it back on, my nexus 5 doesn't remember the password. My nexus S was the same. This recommends switching my router to WEP (it's currently WPA-PSK), however I'm not sure I actually CAN change this in my router settings. Shouldn't it just work anyway, or is it a router problem? Should I just stop turning off the router? This feels like it shouldn't be a problem: why can't the phone simply paste the password into the box for this specific router name & ID, rather than me typing it?
Thanks for any thoughts!

Never had this issue and WiFi password should be stored in phone so I'm not seeing how its a router issue. But at the same time how often are you rebooting your router? I mean once a year is a lot to reboot a router

Seems odd that it would be a router issue but that's what those guys reckon.
I turn it off when I go to work or away for the weekend. Was quicker to put reboot in the title! In any case, it turns off & on.
Could you just circumvent all this by leaving the router on? Modern routers consume so little power that the cost should be minimum and the headaches from not working should be gone
Having said that I have never had a phone forget the password to my network when I turn my router off, when you go into settings on your phone is the WPA password still there? It should be, I keep my passwords stored in Google servers so every time I change ROMs or devices I never enter the WiFi passwords to any network I often visit.... In other words your phone should store the password and remember it when you are in range of your router, power cycling it should not effect the phones memory of this password

I could and will leave the router on more, but this still definitely happen occasionally. Let's be honest, it's not the end of the world, but it does feel like a core bug.
Not sure whereabouts in settings the password would be / be visible? All the other routers I've ever connected to are there, I think, so the password memory function is otherwise fine. Which lends weight to this router/phone issue.... however it feels like it still ends up being a phone bug, since all it takes is for the phone to paste a saved string correctly. Wish I could get other people to replicate this but IDK how they would!
Is there an obvious option to store them on the google servers?
Open settings/WiFi/ and you will see all stored hotspots, long press anyone to see if it has proper info
You may have some setting in your router that tells it to disallow devices to connect after reboot, you can go through router settings and see what's going on there, often
192.168.01 or 192.168.1.1 just see your owners manual for proper settings, or go to the OEM website of router for some tips

Good knowledge man, thanks! Didn't know about long-press. Password says "(unchanged)" but if I hit "show password", nothing shows.
I'll check the router settings, that sounds like a promising avenue. Cheers!
Best of luck!
