Hey guys,
Does anyone knows an app which allows me, to turn my N4 into a wifi-hotspot and offers the connected clients a kind of portal on which he has to login with username/password? Only after a correct authentication, he is able to use the tethered connection from the phone. I hope my explanation was useful for you
I've searched the web for about an hour but didn't find anything
p.S: sorry for the bad language, i hope my text is understandable
I need the same app. I hope someone has an idea

Hi there,
Just picked up my S740 and i'm trying to get it working with my Three sim card. The phone and the internet work oK, but i can't seem to get MSN working. I just get a cannot connect message.
In fact, i've even connected to my wifi network and messenger still does not want to work. There must be something simple i am missing!
As an alternative, is there another messaging programme i can use instead of messenger which can access hotmail accounts?
I hope someone can help.
OK, there is something more significant that i'm missing or fundamentally wrong with this device. I've downloaded palringo and i can't connect to either msn or yahoo messenger.
Any clues?
you've not been silly enough to program a proxy into the connection settings have you?
At this stage, I'm willing to accept any suggestion, no matter how ludicrous.
But there is no proxy. Besides, i browsed to the parlingo site on the phone, downloaded it on the phone, but when i run it can't connect. Surely the proxy would have prevented internet connectivity on the whole?
Unless there is a specific proxy setting in messenger that i can't see.
I love the phone, but at this rate it's going to go straight back.
OK, i've worked out the problem.
There's nothing wrong with the phone. The problem is with the f*@#ed up 3 Mobile SIM which totally locks up the device and does not allow you to do anything. I suspected something was up when i couldnt install the newer Live file due to insufficient rights.
So for anyone searching for a similar issue, you cannot use this device with a Three mobile SIM. Unless someone knows how to unlock it?
it's cos three block a **** load of stuff. I suspect that if you have the internet addon, it may allow it.
have a check with some of the guys in the Diamond and Raphael forums, cos there's a few there that have three SIMS and had similar problems with messenger.
It's all down to three blocking everything apart from texts and calls and charging you for everything else. They have a special version of MSN messenger that either uses alternate ports, or is allowed through their packet sniffer. I'm not entirely sure how they block stuff, but i know they do.
Hi All, finally have my device with me.
Having problems setting up the data connections via wifi please help.
I have set up the wifi network on my device. The web browser works fine, no problem at all.
But when I click any application which requires internet connection, I am not able to connect via wifi.
Application example, Email, Gtalk , Gmail , Android Market etc..
All these applications work fine when I disable my wifi and use my SIM cards EDGE network for data connection. But as soon as I enable wifi these application give the error message , that they could not connect to server.
My wifi is working, the web browser works, I have checked.
Is there a setting which I need to enable so that the applications use the wifi network also for data connections ?
Please Help, this is my 1st android device, have I overlooked some settings which I need to enable ?
Any idea anyone,what setting have I missed
I am getting really desperate now, please please someone help me out.
I have searched the net,the forums, other forums....found similar posts , but no answers.
My GPRS is working absolutely fine with the apps,
wifi is working but only in browser.
I am not able to access any apps via wifi network.
For my wifi network I have to use proxy server, is that the reason for the apps not working via wifi ?
Is there a solution for it ?
I have searched the net,the forums, other forums....found similar posts , but no answers.

I meant to say, that I have tried to search (google), visited other android forums, searched this particular forum, but did not find any answer.
there were a couple of other users at various forums who were facing similar issues as to what I am facing, but no one was able to solve their query.
Please if anyone knows how to resolve my query please answer.
Has anyone successfully made a VPN connection with their rezound? I am trying to connect to a VPN connection known to be working and it says its connected, but I am unable to get internet traffic to go through. (I.e. when I am connected to the VPN, Any app that uses data is unable to find a connection to the internet.) I know it's not on the VPN server side because I am able to connect and get data with another phone.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance!!!
BUMP. no one has tried or can try out VPN for me?
Bump. Not to sound whiney, and but I find it sad that my post can be up for so long without even a single reply. There is a ton of good info in these forums and I'm patiently waiting for s-off just like the average member, but the issue of the vpn hasn't even been looked into by anyone else? I guess my question to any mods would be "what do I have to do to get some attention to an issue I'm having? "

you are so active on the forums, I can't believe your question hasn't been answered yet...
sorry, don't have anything to hide, so don't use vpn.
Why would you need to use a VPN on a phone lol? If you're using free wireless tethering I really doubt that it'll mask it for you. Verizon would be like zomg in Russia wireless tethering steals you!

First of all, thank you both so much for the replies.
I'm not sure that I follow that last sentence, but but to answer the first question.... I want to use the vpn to encrypt my data. I don't use tethering that often, so I don't want to pay for the hotspot fee..... And I don't want to risk Verizon messing with or possibly closing my account or charging me a fee.... So I'd like to run my tethering data though my personal vpn.
I am able to use the stock VPN to connect to my networks. I have about 25 different VPN connections and my VPN connections are the L2TP/IPSEC PSK type. I can mount shares, as well as using remote control programs.
I would look at the logs of the device that you are trying to connect to, maybe that might give you some hints as to the issue. One thing I did find it that my device does not see the DNS server for some reason (even though it is specified), so therefore I have to use IP addresses to connect to anything.
This probably doesn't help you too much, but I did want to reply to let you know that I have the stock VPN working.
Good luck!

Wow! Thank you! It's so good to know that someone has a version of the stock vpn working. Mine are the PPTP type. I wonder if this phone has issues with that setup. Could you possibly test a PPTP connection?
Sorry, I'd love to be able to help you test but all of the device's that I connect to use only the L2TP/IPSEC PSK VPN. Good luck solving your problem and have a happy holiday!
Well I just wanted to update this thread. It looks like PPTP VPN is broken in stock android and therefore it's not specific to the rezound. It looks like it can be fixed by developers (and from what I've read) it's pretty common for it to be fixed in non-stock roms. The lack of internet/browsing is caused by a bug in the MPPE (Microsoft Point-to-Point Encryption) implementation. The following article explains it pretty well:
http://www.securitykiss.com/resources/articles/android_vpn_bug/index.php
This thread discusses some workarounds that were a bit over my head:
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=4706
IPsec connections are not affected....and it looks like MPPE connections have been fixed in ICS. If any developers could take a look at the above thread and explain in more basic english how to "fix" the connections that would be greatly appreciated. If not, i guess i'll have to wait and hope ICS fixes it.

I was just joking around w/ the last sentence. Hope you figured it out!

Very interesting! Thank you! Have you used the PPTP or L2TP version? Was this just to setup the vpn server and then you connect to it with the stock vpn client?
I'm using the L2TP version

I'm having the same issues as you are. I know I'm replying a month late, but I didn't get my phone setup until almost Dec 30th and have been fighting my corp VPN ever since.
Once in a while I can get ping to work from Better Android Terminal, but that is always short lived and I can never get anything to work from other apps.
I'm glad you found the issue. I took a look at logcat and it is definitely a kernel issue. When the connection starts, I get the message "couldn't set tty to ppp discipline".
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
S
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.
Hi folks, I hope someone can offer some words of advice.
I would like to be able to share my ethernet internet connection on my android 2.2 tablet via wifi.
I know there are various app's on phones that allow you to share your 3g connection but I have not found anything that I can actually install that will create the same sort of functionality on my tablet, most of the ones I've seen on the play store are simple short cuts giving control over the pre-existing wifi hotspot app.
What I need is the wifi hotspot itself, ie the ability to use my tablet as a router/bridge.
So any thoughts people?
Bump
Really, no comments at all, nobody?
Someone must have thought of this before me, if not does anyone know where I can find an actual wifi hotspot app not just a set of controls for the pre-installed hotspot?
Thanks
Jon
If you're talking about what I think you are, I've yet to find a way to broadcast your ethernet connection with your Wi-Fi Hotspot like a router. If there's a way to do it I'd be interested, but somehow I don't think there's a way to do it!
Beginning to think your right Wolfy. To be honest not that surprised there is no ready made to ethernet to wifi app but I thought I'd be able to find a traditional wifi hotspot that I can install on my tablet just for the sake of having a go & seeing if it works.
Amazed that there haven't been any other responses! Where are the regulars?
