so my service provider needs me to use a proxy for data. Basically traffic is allowed only on one port and bcoz of that I'm not able to use any application on Android except the browser.
But on Windows mobile I used to get Google maps, Facebook, Opera mini browser work under proxy but it does not work under Android
does Android use different port for applications??
Bump!!
Sorry too desperate for a solution. I love Android and I dont' wanna let it go only bcoz I can't use other applications.

Hello,
We are developers of a Wireless Sales Automation Software for Windows Mobile. We recently had a situation of one of our clients’ employee using the equipment to access porn sites with the browser. We were wondering if there is a way to safely delete IE from the Windows Mobile and still allow internet access with our application.
Thanks
Guillermo
I don't think its possible because afaik windows mobile integrate ie in the ROM. and even if u did manage to delete it, users can still access it through opera or install some third party internet browsers... so best is block those porn sites thru ur internet gateway. good luck.

thanks....
The good thing is the employees using the equipment aren't very computer savvy. They are sales persons, so maybe I could try deleting the shortcuts to the IE executable.
Thanks
another thing... the users connect directly to the internet via the cellular company, so they do not pass-thru any of our gateways.
maybe there is some netnanny kinda software for pocketpc i would look into it if i were you
also who in their right mind would bother with pr0n on the ultra slow gprs network?
i mean all the popups and such from those sites would have the xda needing a softreset in no time
if they are really computer morons then maybe just removing the IE shortcut from start bar and programs would be enough ?
or you may run your software in a kiosk mode. This would prevent user from running anything else. Search for "spb kiosk" in google.
I have looked all over the internet, both on this site and through google, I even shot over to howardforums for a few. I know I saw the solution somewhere, but all my searches are filled with bbc connection probs, not internet connection probs. Heres whats going on... I have the TNT2 rom, I changed the aku version in my registry to .3.7.1 and installed Blackberry Connect 4.0.0.90. Everything there is working fine. The problem is that Internet Explorer will not work. I knew this was a possibility cause I read it on this forum somewhere. I installed Opera Mini browser and then my PC crashed and I lost my bookmark that showed how to make it connect through blackberry connect. Does anyone have the link to the page that shows how to get it to share the existing BBC connection instead of it trying to create its own? Or know how to do it? I went to Start>Settings>Connections>Advanced>Select Networks & changed both dropdowns to My Blackberry, then went to the MidLet manager and set the network on Opera Mini to My Blackberry, and it gives me this error...
Error
Failed to connect to the Internet.

Someone please Help!!!
Thanks.
You can only connect to the special Internet browser that is in the Blackberry folder under programs using BBconnect,, so when you click on to that Icon, you will get the IE explorer.. When your IE explorer comes up,, just go and locate your favorites, and voila.. It is a reconfigured IE explorer (the BBconnect installation does that to your existing Ie explorer). Total Manipulation,, browsing really is the pits using that Internet explorer. So, I advise using Opera (you can actually install on your SD card,), or Opera MIni(I put mine on my main memory). I really do love the Opera Mini (saves ykou lots of money on Data and is really neat, especially the new version).. Set up in connections a normal data connection with your carriers setup, and when you are either going to Opera or Opera MIni you should automatically be turned on to that new data connection GPRS (different than your BBconnect data connection).. Make sure for example, when in Opera Mini,for network settings, you choose the new gprs connection that you just set up, so it will connect properly when you go and connect. Unfortunately, the BBconnect really screws things up for internet connections, and it really is a pain in the butt,,because I have to go to BBsettings sometimes, to suspend the bbconnection, so as I can get either Gprs or Wifi connection, because BBconnection is always trying to connect otherwise. Supposedly, the Internet browser in that BBfolder is supposed to be compressed data, but I haven't seen much compression going on! and bringing up data is slow as molasses.. At least this is all my experience.. If anyone else would like to add to what I said or shed some more light on the subject,, please by my guest. Let me know , if you need any more help
my issue has been now that BBC is installed, I cannot use any other data connection, and no program will use the BBC connection. Also, when you mention that you're using opera, do you mean the full version you'd normally put on a pc? If so, does it have the drag to move feature that mini beta does? Thank you.
I think I figured out part of it. Theres a registry tweak to get IE working again, the problem is that it creates a new connection instead of using the BBC connection. Does anyone know how to get everything (especially opera mini) to run off the blackberry connection? I think it doesn't work right cause of the proxy.
I'm trying to use internet passthrough at work. The problem is that we have a proxy that requires NTLM authentication. So I tried setting up an intermediate proxy on my windows xp machine, then I setup DHD to use the intermidate proxy (using Proxy Settings from the market).
This only works with the browser as it has built in support for communicating with proxy servers. other application don't work.
I'm wondering if any of the following is possible:
1- setup proxy in dhd in a way that is invisible to most applications and don't have to rely of application support for using a proxy server.
2- use some program/setting on my computer that manages connections with the proxy server in a way that is invisible to HTC Sync and DHD
+1 for the same question.
I hope someone know the procedure and I hope even more it's possible.
It would be a shame that shuch device doesn't offer that feature.

+1 for that!!
I'm in the same boat, anyone have a solution to this yet?
+1
still no solution?
+1 too.
Kind of glad to see I'm not the only one looking for a solution
i tried with no luck with widecap to proxify the process htcnat.exe adb.exe and another 2 but it's a really overwhelming configuration, furthermore the service in windows is run by the SYSTEM user and it should be changed to the user running widecap to have it trying recognizing it.
unfortunately even with all configured i think in the correct way i was not able to use the proxy, widecap was still refusing to proxify internet pass trhough.
there is another product called freecap on which is based widecap but i still havn't tried it (and the next week i will be on holidays so i won't try it soon ^^' )
solved by installing TransProxy 3.0.8 beta on android

ProxyDroid
I used ProxyDroid (needs root). It also supports NTLM authentication.

Hey did you find a solution? I'm facing the same issue for a long time !!!
Hi,
I'm stuck for a while without internet access except via 3G. I've got a dev phone running the Mango beta 2.
I was wondering if anyone had an idea about how I could make a proxy server or any other kind of tethering for it.
I was looking to use HttpListener or Sockets.Listen but both are unavailable for the phone.
I thought I might have to make a server application for the laptop that has a proxy server listening port and a phone listening port then have an application on the phone that connects to the server app. Once established, pass requests on from the laptop app to the phone app and get the phone to do the requests.
Unfortunately, my knowledge of how to do this over sockets is limited and if anyone could give me some advice I'd be grateful.
Cheers
Depending on which phone you have it might be possible to switch into teethering mode in the MFG app (usually installed by dialing ##634#).
HTC 7 Trophy .. I'm not aware of a way to use tethering on that.

Do you have a old Windows mobile 6.5 device sitting around ? Then for the temp window you need it, switch ESN/SIM to your 6.5 device, wi-fi teather, then swap back ESN/SIM when you need it...
Depending on your carrier....I know with Verizon, I can change hardware on-line
I'm unaware of how the network stack works in WP7.
If you're connected to WiFi, in your application can you choose to use 3G or WiFi? Maybe there are some P/Invoke calls you could do?
If so, then connect your phone to a router ... same with your laptop. Then relay HTTP(S) between the two connections.
Otherwise, we'll need to be able to execute native applications.
or something cheap you recommend? i have RaptorVPN in laptop and they have android support but i have a error on connection
Use DroidVPN. Thats great
Search on Google?
I found this, might be of some help:
