I have tried almost every paid and free apps available on market for android proxy support. However, no luck with this. Is anybody aware of any app or method which can make proxy based apn settings usable by gtalk or gmail or any other app on our beloved ace.
My bf is using an iphone and his phone allows him to use proxy. I want to show him that android is not less than iphone. Please help me guys.
Many many thanks in advance.

You can find the proxy APN settings for your device in the help section of your mobile network website and you can find out the proxy settings for Gmail in the same area of that website.
I don't understand what you hope to achieve by using proxy settings though as it's only a back up if the main server is overloaded and all phones switch to them automatically whether they are stored on your phone or not.
Proxy setting's are nothing to do with the type of phone you have just how information is passed to your device over the network. An overpriced inferior iphone receives the info in exactly the same way as you do.
Thanks cooltt..Actually my problem is - I have already got the proxy apn settings from my network provider. Now the pain begins here, apps are not able to connect to net using this apn. However, browser can.
Any idea why? and how can this be resolved ?
Thanks.
Ah you haven't realised the following:
Apps require a 3G network to connect to the net but mms and some old type email accounts only require APN settings over a 2G network.
However since 2G or WAP is old technology all of our mobile networks have switched to 3G for anything other than phone calls. It has many advantages such as quicker connection, quick large data transfer for emails etc..and of course more money for the mobile networks!
I don't know of any apps that are written to use APN settings it's just old school and technology only moves forward.
Try this:
Send a picture message with just 2G activated, i bet you can't send it until 3G is activated. That means that although you have the APN settings in your phone the network detects you have a smart phone and will only accept the data over a 3G network.
4G is just around the corner APN is old old !
I was such a noob without this info. Thanks once again cooltt.
It means all those threads asking google for proxy support in android are noobs just like me ?
For proxy.. i'd recommend proxy droid. It worked like a charm on my phone.. not only built in browser, but also other apps.

Let me describe my problem in detail.
I have got 2.3.6 singapore stock rom.
Cf-root kernel b82
Now, the apn settings provided by my service provider contains proxy add and port.
When i use dolphin browser to browse internet, it works fine. But, the other apps do not work. Always the same error network unreachable. About the internet speed its reasonable.
I tried asproxy,autoproxy and proxydroid by entering the same proxy add and port as given in the apn settings by service provider. No matter what, apps like gtalk, gmail, market, tapatalk fail to connect. However, the browser works good everytime.
No idea how to resolve this but am ready to give anything to get this thing working on my ace.

In a nutshell, you'd just need a proxy server, and a host name, and that's most of it.
Secondly, there's not much of a point comparing those overpriced menaces, and any android devices, so lets chuck that.
And lastly, there's not much of a point, considering that we aren't stuck in china, and behind that golden firewall. #shudders# Our government's not going to try monitor Facebook, like they said. Bah, kapil.
And again, here are the proxy settings.
Host name:
Port:
Proxy type: (Http)
Just Google a few servers, they never cease to work -__-

Hi all
I'm trying to set up a VPN connection between a Linux Mint 10 PC (server) and a Nexus 7 (client).
All I'm getting so far is a "Connecting" status from the Nexus 7, followed after a few seconds by a "Disconnected" one.
As it is my first attempt at setting up a VPN (both on the server and client sides) I was wondering if there was a log file generated by Android on the Nexus that would give me a clue as to where I'm going wrong.
A similar file on the server side would also be very helpful.
Thanks in advance.
Read this for a start how to set up server properly:

Thanks, asmerito, but I have set up a VPN connection, not an OpenVPN one.
What does syslog on server say when trying to connect with Nexus?

Sorry, @asmerito, but the question here was really whether it's possible to read a relevant log file on the android device (client), not on the server side. In most cases, the VPN client users don't have any access to the server. In my case, I am depending on several VPN lines for work. I can connect well from Win and Linux computers, but struggle with PPTP and MS-CHAPv2 from Android. (No need to kick in an open door by telling me even Microsoft informs this is completely insecure.....again the service/setup is beyond my control....)
Thanks a lot!
