Hi everybody!
I was wondering: is there any possibility to set a proxy (maybe using a 3rd party application) to surf to the Internet, when I'm connected to a WiFi network?
My university uses a proxy for all the outgoing connection, so I need to set it in any terminal I want to connect to the Internet with.
I'd prefer not to enable the "root mode" on my LG Optimus One, because it would invalidate the 2 years warranty.
Have a nice weekend!

I searched on net and it seems, that it is not possible. Most problem is, that some custom ROM is needed - in this case you will most probably lose warranty.
Maybe is some way in rooting of phone and editing of appropriate files. Because rooting is reversible operation, may bee there won't be any problem.

Thank you for the reply!
Is the rooting a reversible operation?
I mean: can I install a proxy for my phone (in root mode) and then deactivate the root mode?
Can LG notice I entered the root mode and deny my warranty?
It's my first Android phone (actually, it's my first smartphone ever!) and I'm a bit confused...

Well, it's not impossible for LG to notice that you rooted (and then unrooted) your phone. But even if LG doesn't notice what you have done, it doesn't matter: rooting the phone voids the warranty... you are then free to unroot the device but the warranty remains void.
Install Any Cut (search on the web or market).
Through Any Cut create a shortcut to home of the option Proxy Setting (I think is under Action menu').
Clicking on the shortcut you can change the proxy for the standadrd browser only.
(Browsers like SkyFire have the proxy option in them preferences setting).
In any case, I have never tested this method, but should work for the browser..I do not know if it works for the app too.
In the next weeks I'll check if the AnyCut solution works for me...
Thanks everybody!

Issue 1273: IP Proxy Settings for Wifi Network
It is not possible to set up proxy setting settings for WiFi network.
1. Menu > Settings > Wireless controls > Wi-Fi settings > Menu > Advanced
Settings for all Wi-Fi networks
i managed to set proxy server using "transparent proxy". this app needs superuser rights
any other ways of doing this without rooting the phone?
My P500 is rooted. But I still dont know how to access wifi via proxy.
I tried to use 3rd party program such as Proxysetting, Transproxy, Android GappProxy, Asproxy, Orbot,... The only working program on 500 is Asproxy (download on Applanet). However, it made me crazy that the status is Running just about 2-3 minutes, and then it comes to Waiting with reason: Couldn't check license. Anyone help me solve this problem??? (this program need root and superuser rights).
Many thanks!
i see it is an old post, but if u still need some app for proxy settings (with authentication)
i recommend using PRoxyDroid
I use it over my college network and it works fine
it is a free app
just google for 'proxydroid apk' incase u want to install it from apk
u need to root ur phone to use this
NOTE: ROOTING DOES NOT VOID THE WARRANTY. THIS IS A CONFIRMED NEWS
Hello all,
I currently have the iPhone 4 and I hate it. I want to move up to the S3 but the only thing preventing me puling the trigger is tethering.
Currently I have a jail broken iPhone and MyWi installed for free tethering. Is there an alternative to MyWi for the S3? Can a rooted S3 be a WiFi hotspot (Infrastructure not AdHoc)?
Thanks in advance,

Rooting an android phone allows you tether without most carriers noticing.
Depends on carrier also

Ok, awesome answer!
Here is another question. Is there a TuT out there to root and tether? Is it AdHoc or Infrastructure? I need infrastructure as my stock Nook can not connect to AdHoc.
Thanks in advance.
Open Garden Tethering is amazing for a rooted phone. Kinda slow (but that's because my LG Ally is slow, and it only has 3G)
My phone has tethering built in as stock and yes it is infrastructure. My phone is from the UK if that affects your question
Some carriers in some countries like to remove or restrict the tethering option. If you're not in such a country then tethering ie. Portable Hotspot is available by default in Android. There is not need to root or install any special app.
When activated your phone will appear as a regular wireless network, ie. infrastructure.
@JSale i am awesome?
in addition we've set up a network on a demonstration with 10 sgs3 on the same tethered connection, so clients number is not limited to 5 like it was on sgs2
sorry, the language is hungarian

I think it may. Knowing the nickle and dime mentality of the US Carriers, I can see them disabling that function in the OS.
If it is built into the OS and then disabled by the carrier could a Rooted Device be re-enabled?

Has anyone had any issues with tethering with the S3? Used to have a GalaxyS on the Three network and it was fine. Got the S3 and it constantly drops net access. Connection between the phone and my laptop is fine, but there are issues with DNS server etc. and on the same network. had a new handset yesterday after advice and help from Three and Samsung and still the exact same issue.
They seem clueless. Does anybody have any idea what the issue could be and has anyone else had the same problem? Tethering via wifi hotspot or usb cable is the same.
Sorry, maybe I should mention that tethering is allowed on my plan.
Does anyone have any idea at all please?
anybody? anyone else had this issue?
i'm having issues with tethering.
If i set security to open it seems to be ok. With any level of security my windows 7 pc cannot connect via wifi.
i've read comments on other forums regarding problems with this.
I've not been able to test out my S3 tethering on 3 yet. Have you had any luck since? I have noticed that the connection while surfing on the phone keeps dropping though.

If you use an International Galaxy S3 (GT-I9300) on AT&T you can tether for free anyway. You can also get away with paying $10 a month for Unlimited Internet.
No need for root. Tethering is already built into the menus.
Had to return the phone and cancel my contract in the end. Three uk say it's a software issue with samsung. I have flagged it with samsung.

Wireless tethering (called portable Wi-Fi hostpost in the settings) worked fine on my international unlocked phone out of the box (no rooting, installing apps, etc.). I'm a bit frustrated I can't connect to AdHoc networks though, but that's an android issue. At least I found a way to use my home computer's internet on the phone via usb with 'reverse tether'.
Tethering the S3
I seem to be having the same problem when tethering using the security option under ONLY ALLOWED DEVICES,
Security is configured under WPA, WPA PSK, and WPA2PSK, i get as far as adding these settings to the ALLOWED ONLY LIST, but when you go to connect on the Wi-Fi screen, and where it says Only Allowed Devices, it says NO DEVICES,
And so the only way to make it works is by using the OPEN option, but be warned this will allow outside users to tap in to your network.
Contacted Samsung on three occasions up to today, all they would confirm was that using the OPEN setting would compromise your security, ive asked them to confirm that the security Only Allowed option does actually work in real time , ive asked them to configure it at their end and tell me the step by step method.
will report back what they say.
I did take the phone back to the shop to get them to configure this secure setting, they failed and said try and cope with the open setting for now.
Reading the above posts that Three have said its a software problem doesnt sound good, sounds like im going to have to return mine as i do internet banking.
any news that you guys have on this aspect would be wellcome.
Cheers,
PS, i should say i am tethering to a Sony Vaio windowes 7
Hey,
A friend of mine wants to lock the data connection of his 11 years old daughter's phone. So i thought, this would be easy, change the DNS as root to localhost or something like that. I read that it is possible to do so with the Wifi connection, but not permanent with the mobile data. This would just work for the current session, after a phone reboot, the normal mobile data DNS is back.
So my question is, what could i do, to lock every data connection? Is it possible?
Thanks for the answers!
why not just remove all apns and saved wi-fi networks? then there would be no mobile networks or wi-fi networks to connect to.
also, why does an 11 year old girl have an s2? if one isn't able to check on what their child is doing on the internet, and/or won't let them on the internet at all, might the s2 not be a little much?
This girl is not stupid, she knows how to connect to a Wifi network. Also it's thus a metter of time, till she knows to add the correct apn, or a friend of her does it.
I need a solution to realy change someting, that data is no longer possible. So she, or someone who knows a little bit about smartphones cannot enable it.
well that certainly is respectable, she knows how to crack wpa2 wi-fi keys?
then your dns trick, even if it were stored permanently, would be no use either.
i don't know, what country you are from, but at least here, every carrier offers the possibility to disable mobile data connections for your sim card. that way, no matter what you try to set up, the carrier would not accept you into their mobile network.
Could you delete APNs and wifi keys, then lock the settings app so the 11 year old cannot access it to edit the connection settings?
ZDBox is freeware and contains a reliable app locking tool.
Hi I am using Eragon v3 ROM with xposed installed. Can someone help suggest me free wif I tether app/trick. I live in London and use 3 (three) network
strange question : android can provide wifi tether natively ! It's called "connexion sharing" in the parameters.

Brother I have to pay for tethering. And only allowed 4gigs. That's why I'm asking. I have tried a lot of apps but failed. It still shows that I am using my allowance .
Not quite sure what you are trying to do. You can tether to your phone within the settings or wifi tether to another device, using the wifi settings

Bro thing is I am paying extra £5 for 30gigs of tethering.and I have my 3UK app. Which shows me how much I have used off that allowance. On my Samsung galaxy s4 omega ROM. My allowance would remain the same. Showing that there was something built in the ROM which prevented my service provider to not know that I am using using WiFI Hotspot
OK I understand !
In France we are allowed to use wifi tethering without over taxes !

I see that you have also posted this question on the elephone.hk forum with a similar lack of clarity. What exactly are you trying to achieve?
Tethering is where your phone becomes a WiFi access point and other devices connect to it to use the phone's mobile data connection to access the Internet. I'm sure you know this, but I don't understand why you would think that your telco would provide this data connection for free.
As a rule of thumb, if you have a data plan with your telco (Three, or whoever) which allows unlimited data, then you are normally limited to a certain amount of data that can be used by other devices connected via your phone. This limit might be zero. If your plan isn't unlimited, then usually telcos don't care how the data is used. I don't know exactly how they know whether data is going to a tethered device, but I suspect that there is information within the TCPIP header which can be snooped.
So are you looking for an app that will disguise the fact that you have other devices tethered to your phone? Do you have two separate data allowances - one for tethering and one for direct traffic? I don't know of any app which will disguise tethered data, but if you describe your problem more clearly, perhaps someone else will be able to help - or tell your that it is not possible.

Well brother I pay extra £5 for 30gig of WiFi hotspot. On my galaxy s4 I had Omega ROM and I could use unlimited as it was disguising my network usage. I have a three app installed on my phone. And it shows how much data I have used from my allowance. Where as on Gs4 it show zero MBS used of allowance.
Don't think you can get round it. Well not here anyways best bet is to look for an app that could help you with the masking of your data usage as this isn't specific to just this phone
Thanks will do
Hey I just reverted back to stock from Cherish OS, kept having way too many issues with the ROM rebooting or just freezing. I managed to get hotspot working on Cherish by editing the build prop to include:
net.tethering.noprovisioning=true
then pushing adb shell: settings put global tether_dun_required 0
Was working fine minus the crashes.
Now going back to stock I havnt had any unexpected crashes but I cannot seem to get the tethering to work anymore using magiskhide prop config. Does anyone know what else needs to be done to get wifi tethering working again? It looks like the DUN APN setting on my custom APN does not stick around after saving it, I dont know if it was enabled on Cherish OS somehow or what the difference between the two set ups would realistically be.
Edit:
Solution Provided by lentm:
"If you're rooted, try using VPN Hotspot: https://github.com/Mygod/VPNHotspot/releases"
Just enabled wlan0.
Still looking for a solution, If someone can point me to where I might need to start to resolve this I would appreciate it.
Ex; does it need a custom keneral? or Radio?
What is the limiting factor, that doesnt allow the connected device to get internet?
If you're rooted, try using VPN Hotspot: https://github.com/Mygod/VPNHotspot/releases
I can confirm the linked app works and replicates the built in Wifi Hotspot feature. I have it running on a T Mobile, bootloader unlocked, rooted, stock firmware, and on Android 11. Worked with my desktop, other phone, and Smart TV. I do not have it as a part of my plan. No VPN, port, or other nonsense to setup on the client to get it working. Just put in the WiFi spot password and off you go!.
Thanks for the link! I was never able to find a way to get the built in one working with out an app of some kind. I have no idea what would be needed to patch the factory hotspot to get it working without an app.

Great. BTW, I think the reason why it's recommended to use with the VPN (such as AdGuard) is to hide the tether usage.
I was a bit skeptical, but after I enabled the wlan0 toggle it worked! thank you soo much I have been struggling with this for a while.

Something to note here I wasn't using Adguard and had no issues with the hotspot vpn app. I wasn't using the "Temporary Hotspot" toggle in the app either. Using the wlan0 option gave me Internet on any device I tried while on T Mobile service / Towers. I went out of town and I'm now roaming on US Cellular indicated on my notification bar. This hotspot method stopped working for me. I could connect to the hotspot but no internet. After some research I found using Adguard does resolves this as you mentioned. In the VPN hotspot app you must choose "tun0" as the upstream interface.
