I am having issues removing proxy on my phone. Whenever I used the stock internet browser or firefox and go to whatismyip.com, it detects a proxy. I did not include any proxy address and stuff in WiFi settings but I did install Tigervpns VPN, Vpn one click and Orbot recently and used them all. I however, uninstalled them as I found them of no use to me. I would really like to get rid of the proxy and I know that its not a setting on my network as when I go to whatismyip.com on my computer it doesn't detect any proxy. I suspect it might be the VPN changer apps I installed though, if anyone has any idea how to remove it, please help me. Thanks in advance.

It would probably help if you post the name or IP address of the proxy
Im not sure what the name is but the ip
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
That IP belongs to your carrier.
Edit - And if you'd done an nslookup, you would have found that out for yourself.
So theres no way to get rid of it?

Your carrier is obviously routing traffic through that proxy. Talk to them; ask them if there's a way you can get connectivity on your phone without going thru the proxy. If they say no, there's nothing you can do about it (other than change carriers).
Or...Find out if there's other APN settings for your carrier. There may be another APN that doesn't use the proxy (like Vodafone in Australia).

I've searched and found some threads with similar questions but no definite solution.
Basically I use my pda for internet browsing and syncing with my personal email while at work.
To make it easier, i want to use a remote control program like MyMobiler. Problem is that when i connect via usb, the pda wants to switch activesync to use the passthrough connection of the pc. The work lan doesn't let me connect like this.
So, is there some way that I can still maintain the gprs connection even when connected via usb?
Some sort of preference of which sevice to use?
Also, anyone know of a remote control software that lets you expand the prophet resolution?
I tried dotPocket but it doesn't seem to work.
thanks.
wooooooooooooohooooooooooooo!!!!
ok, I managed to get this working...
I couldn't find any help on the net but I figured it out myself.
Connect your pda via usb.
Activesync will connect then disable active sync by unchecking "Allow USB Connections" in connection settings on the pc.

}
Your device will be disconnected.
Then start MyMobiler and select "connect to IP". Enter the ip address as 169.254.2.1.
And voila, remote control of the pda without activesync there fore still using your gprs connection and not work's connection.
Notice the "G" at the top.
And you may say "but now I can't explore my device from activesync..."
That's when I say ... "wait there's more..."
Use mobile explorer from the tools menu in MyMobiler.
Thanks for coming!
sweet, thanks for sharing your tips )
SOTI Controller
Hi,
Why you're not using SOTI Pocket controller pro 6.01? It connects over active sync or over tcp/ip (depending on the profile that you set up) and you can browse your pda and syncronise it with the pc. The synco is much better than the active sync.
I did a reboot/factory restore on my wireless router couple of days ago and ever since that my phone barely connects to my home wireless network. It keeps saying Network out of range even though I'm right next to the router. Finally after 20+ minutes of waiting, it finds it.
I tried "forget network" and add it back but it's still happening. I got the 'Fix my WiFi" app and no luck. I also tried rebooting. Haven't tried factory reset but I may if this keeps happening.
Is there something wrong with my router settings maybe? My laptop connects fine though.
I think there might be something wrong in this settings for the router.

I had a problem where my WiFi didn't work and had to flash all the away back to 2 variations of stock via Odin. I'm not sure what went wrong, but it probably isn't a problem with your hardware.

Did you wipe Davlik (sp) cache in recovery to see if it fixes the problem?
did you try changing the wireless channel on the router?
Turn on broadcast ssid.

Does it work on any wifi? Try going to a coffee shop and see if you have the same thing.

Connectify is not free.
Connectify does not work with all wireless adapters.
Connectify is not a very good program let alone solution for this issue even if you pay for it and have the best wireless adapter, I speak from experience.
I used the free version of connectify on a couple of computers and they all work. Never had any problems with it, and there is a free version if you look on the site it says connectify lite.
please make it work for the android market like this app.......
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.littlelan.ReverseTether.Trial&hl=en
Thanks
This app works for me but can't make it work with play store. Can you add the option for making it look like 3G? Like its there in the original android app?

well connectify doesnt work on DELL laptops.
can u post a link to Android reverse tethering beta 2.26...
Question is as exactly as it is in the title; how does Android come to the conclusion that it has complete internet connectivity (or connection to google services), and consequently will turn the signal bars blue (on stock android devices).
I am trying to fix a problem at work where if I put my phone on the company wifi, my phone never seems to think it has internet connectivity, even though I do. The consequence is most apps don't attempt to pull new data, and therefor never notify me of new messages. This includes gmail, google voice, and hangouts.
I don't have direct control of the network infrastructure at the moment, so right now it is easier to know what address or IP it tries to get to, and how (ping?), so it can be unblocked by the firewall or web filter.

Does really no one know? Perhaps a point in the right direction?

check your settings>wireless & Networks> WIFI>check Network notification this will inform you when there are other open wifi networks present > you need to connect to that network with password or scroll down to add WIFI network (you can add any network when you know its SSID and security used.
if you unchecked network notifications, you will " NOT" know or use of any new networks other than what you have used before.

I'm not having any issues finding or connecting to wifi, the problem is at my buisness when on wifi, android does not detect an internet connection; so it thinks I just have local network access, so most apps do not auto refresh in the background.
Hi Guys,
I've been using File Manager for years now as I found it to be the simplest and most functional file manager I've encountered.
I'm using this app also to share my phone's folders to the network so I can transfer files wireless to and from the device.
Lately on my Z ultra, I noticed that this app is not showing the correct IP address of my phone and other devices cannot connect to it using the said IP address.(ex: 10.50.156.81:2121)
It is working fine on my Galaxy Note 1..

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I would then have to check the "default gateway" on my computer when it is connected to my Ultra's hotspot so I can determine what is the IP address of my phone.
Screenshot:
Any ideas why it would say a different IP address?
I cannot determine where did 10.50.156.81:2121 come from...
It does not look like a LAN IP to me.. They normally start with 192.168.x.x right?
I also checked the External IP of my phone given by my service provider and it is 10.60.xx.xx so it cannot be my external IP.
Your ideas would be helpful..I also sent an email to the app's dev (still waiting for reply) but I'm hoping for a second thought from my fellow XDA users.
Also, anybody knows what is the best equivalent of "ipconfig" in terminal emulator? That way, I can check my phone's LAN IP from the phone itself.
Google gives me different answers.
I downloaded the app and started the hotspot and got
When writing the ipconfig in the terminal Im getting the same default gateway so I don't think you should bother with that.
Type the Ip adress you are provided in the app and the port.
Signed in without any issues
That's the problem... Other devices won't connect using the IP and port given by the app.. They just time out and disconnect... They can only connect using the 192.168.x.x address...
What's the command you used on terminal so I can check on my end?
"ip -d" won't work for me.. Sorry i have zero experience with terminal.. Lol
Sent from my C6833 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
try ifconfig
it could be that your app is not recognising the private IP, and resorts to using the public ip provided by your service provider (which typically blocks most ports)
what you can try is to disable data when connecting to your wifi network, that way the app won't be confused as to which one to use. there are several types of profiling apps that can do this, i use EasyProfiles Pro for my mobile.
This option didn't exist
Weird..
I have tried it again but it now seems like my previous statement is wrong...
The app now shows my external IP assigned to me by my Service Provider.
I used the command busybox ifconfig to get the info...
Apologies as i have blurred info that i think is sensitive and should be kept private for my device. Like I said in OP, I have zero experience with terminal. :fingers-crossed:
Terminal Emulator:
Well up until now, the developer haven't sent a reply and I'll just stick to using terminal to see my Phone's local IP. Seems like it does not change though as long as I am the hotspot. :victory: I know connecting to another wifi hotspot would make my phone follow that network's DHCP :highfive:
Thanks for the replies! I'll give you a cookie as soon as I post this..

I don't know what option you are referring to since I can't see the pics you have pasted on your post (maybe due to my poor internet connection right now) but I will assume you are referring the the option to share your phone to the network.
Steps:
1. Open the app
2. on the set of icons on the top, scroll to the far right,
3. Click Network
4. click Share
5. Select the Folder you want to share to the network.
6. *optional* type in a username/password combination for the users to use or just leave it blank to have it free access for all.
