I use a wifi connection that has proxy enabled.
Browser, play store, even the xda app work on the wifi.
However, apps like Viber and whatsapp only seem to work on my data connection. not on the wifi.
I guess this is because they arent using the proxy. The same apps work on a windows phone.
Is there any way to apply a system wide proxy or proxy even for specific apps?
My HTC One S, running ICS, is just 2 days old and i do not want to root.
Ideas ?

I am currently running an HP Touchpad with CM9 Nightlies, and use a Bluetooth Modem Dialer to tether to my Blackberry via Dial Up Networking.
However, many apps do not believe they have an internet connection. Anyway around this?
Examples: Browser works, Play Store works, but I can't download apps. Weather Channel doesn't work, but Tapatalk works.
Edit: Could be a carrier issue... but I doubt it. I'm thinking that different apps access the internet differently, I really don't know exactly.
I'm wondering if anybody has ever tried to dig deeper into where and when apps are accessing your data networks regardless of whether it was while you are on wifi or mobile networks. I'm rooted running 4.1.1 and I'm looking for an app that sort of works like a proxy except for my own phone and just my phone's data. The goal is to see which apps are accessing the internet and what websites they are accessing and how often, ect. Basically I'd like to eavesdrop on my own apps. Is that possible? How can I do this? Thanks in advance.
What your asking is to track app data usage. Yeah, there are some apps, here:

SandroProxy may help you. Probably tcpview from chrome devtools.

Curious if anyone else has experienced this issue? Since upgrading to android 4.3 roms, I have not been able to use my home proxy correctly. Connections to my proxy have been successful, in that, android still reports internet connection, however when using apps (that are blocked on my work wifi) are showing no connection. 4.2.2 roms all work fine.
The app I'm using is ProxyDroid however I also tried setting the proxy in native settings with the same result. Is there a change in the implementation of proxy services since 4.2 roms? Thanks in advance.
Maybe it will work with Drony or SandroProxy

Drony, is the wrong kind of proxy (server not client). SandroProxy isn't working either though (I mean in 4.3), however its very difficult to use; It's possible I screwed up setting it up (still was showing 'listening 127.0.0.1').
Drony is subset of SandroProxy so it acts the same way. You probably need just Drony.

Interesting implementation. Perhaps I will try it again. I'm curious is there a widget for quickly connecting/disconnecting from proxy's? Unfortunately running through my house its not a very fast connection (one of the biggest reasons I went with ProxyDroid, there is a quick connect/disconnect).
Drony will go on if active wifi has proxy set on localhost 8020.
It goes off if wifi goes down.
What can you miss with Drony is that not all apps will work.
For example WhatsApp do not respect androiod os proxy settings.
To have all working you need rooted phone and SandroProxy.
It install his own local copy of iptables to redirect all traffic.
But has more features and it is harder to set up as you find out .
It is more a developer tool than a plain proxy.
There is some wizard to help you out.
And acts the same way as Drony listening if active wifi has proxy set that points to it.

Hi,
I am trying to connect to a network that uses proxy. I have entered the manual settings in the network and I am able to browse on the browser as well without any issues. However, no internet applications like playstore whatsapp or youtube works for me.
Any way I can assign proxy for all the applications on the phone.
I am using MMX A110 with STOCK ICS ROM
You can use Drony

I have a rooted Moto X 1st Gen on stock 4.4.4 with Xposed Framework installed.
I cannot connect to the Internet with my university's proxy settings without the use of Proxydroid, while everyone else can browse the Internet on the same WiFi network without being rooted, though certain apps like WhatsApp don't work.
For me, nothing would work just by applying the proxy settings but with Proxydroid I can use the browser (need it to work without Proxydroid as well) and WhatsApp as well, but not the stock Email app, which is very frustrating.
I had installed a number of ad-blocking software but uninstalled all of them except for an ad blocking Xposed module, and also have Gravitybox installed. Any help?
