My work wifi uses a proxy server for Internet access which requires me to use my log in details. I use chrome for Internet and that asks me for my log in credentials and works fine, however none of my apps that use the internet work as I there is nowhere to enter login details. Is there a setting I'I'm missing or is there an app that logs in the phone?
Settings - Wi-Fi - long press the work WiFi - modify settings - advanced settings - proxy!

Hi, i have a friend who's BA can pick up WIFI. The messenger works fine but when he tried to get a page up, it says page cannot be found. Any ideas?
Check the proxy settings.
MSN Messenger connects using the default gateway or SOCKS4/5 proxy while Internet Explorer uses a the HTTP proxy settings first, if specified.
hi all
i have a xda orbit, aka htc artemis. my service provider, after much delay, helped me to set up the internet settings for my device. now the problem is, they have made me change the port numbers from 80 to 9401 and have set up a connection in "work" settings, whenever i try to download emails from my yahoo account, which supports pop3, it says error in synch and to check my net connection. the same works fine if i connect my device to the pc with internet connection. similar thing happens with most of other apps which use internet
can someone help me on how to change the proxy settings on other apps or how to make other apps use the same connections settings please.
thanks
I just receieved my TP2 yesterday from mobilephonesdirect (with a T-Mobile contract).
I've run into a problem with trying to browse to secure sites or access my hosted exchange and pop email accounts (both over secure connections).
Activesync returns the error "ActiveSync cannot reach the server. Check that the server address and proxy server settings are correct.". Trying to browse to a https://... address in opera mobile causes it to crash, and in IE I get a dialog saying it cannot find the url and "Make sure the path or Internet address is correct."
I did discover this thread over at expansys about the same problem with the Touch Pro (http://www.expansys-usa.com/ft.aspx?k=113037) but following the steps doesn't work for me, unticking the "This network uses a proxy server to connect to the Internet" option just reticks it the next time I view the settings.
I can't find any settings different between my new TP2 and Vario3 so I'm stuck. Has anyone else had issues?
It's fixed now
I did a soft reset and then the unticking the proxy server setting actually worked. Not quite sure why the TP2 requires this to be unticked yet my Vario 5 is working with it ticked.
Doesn't work
I can untick the proxy but this doesn't solve my activesync/exchange problem. I can access POP3 email etc fine and access my exchange account over wifi or via USB, so I assume it's a T-mobile issue. Anybody any help? I have tried searching and the only other h suggestion was to change proxy server to end in .135 instead of .132, but this doesn't work either.
Now does work
Had to delete the T-mobile settgins that wereautomatically configured, restart,then do the automatic configuration again, then uncheck proxy box before making any connections, then restart and voila!
Hey Forum,
I have my HD mini for a few days now and I've set up two different IMAP email accounts. One is a Gmail account, the other is off a domain i own.
When I have WIFI enabled, then everything is fine.. I go to an Inbox and hit menu => send/recieve and the new mails arrive.
When I then disable the WIFI connection, then my phone doesn't do anything. It just states "Connecting" in the status bar and then pops out a message saying that it couldn't connect and I should check the settings.
Meanwhile, I can use the mobile internet off my contract without a problem in other apps. Say Opera, IE, Facebook and so on. So the Link is up, just the emails won't work.
What I tried:
- changing the ssigned connection to the mobile one in:
"Mail Inbox => menu => extras => options => choose mail accounts => edit settings, continued to mail-out server, there is an "advanced settings" link where I can set the assigned connction either to "internet" or to "contract name".
When Internet is chosen, I can fetch mails via WIFI.
Otherwise, when my provider (T-Mobile Internet) is chosen or WIFI is disabled, then nothing works.
What the hell is that? This can't be a feature, right? How can I fix this?
Thanks
€dit: Sorry, I didn't recognized that I was posting in the wrong Forum. SHould have gone to the "General" board.,..
try:
-windows button
- e-mail
- select your account
- edit account setup
-next, next, until outgoing (smtp) mail server
-you'l find advanced server setting on the bottom, click on it
-select your main internet connection (anything else than The Internet)
this should work

HI Radu,
sadly, this does not work with my IMAP accounts!
I just did a RESET on my phone because of this error and it still does nothing. everything else works... I can use web, some apps like facebook, peep, skype, pigeon IM and so on!
Side note: When I
- set any account to use "Internet" (not the 3g contract)
- then disable WLAN and my contract data connection
- head over to an inbox of a mail-acc
- press send/recieve from the menu
THEN: 3G connection is being connected, in status i can read:
- connecting ...
- logging in ...
then it aborts.
sometimes the phone says "synchronisation error" and sometimes it says I should check my account setup. But like I've mentioned the setup is fine. as soon as WIFI is enabled, all the accounts do work.
I have a mobile flat rate via "mobilcom debitel" which is in the german T-Mobile net.
I'm just a tip away from dumping that crap on the ground and stomping on it untill I arrive in australia.
Thanks for your time
OK. Solution found. The contract mobilcom debitel D1 aborts all connections to IMAP/POP because they want to sell their Push-Mail package.
****ing annoying.
I had this problem on my BlackBerry, too, and I figured it was some stupid RIM thing. But now I'm having it on my Touch Pro 2.
I want to run on WiFi but with the radio off -- like when I'm roaming someplace expensive, but in a hotel where there's WiFi. When I do this, I can browse just fine, but the Inbox (standard WM mail program) says it can't make a connection. When I turn the radio back on, the mail comes through... but I don't know which connection it's using.
Anybody know how to fix this? Or at least, what's going on?
I dont know exactly what the problem is here, but i've always had this problem, I actually havent even tried just wifi in a while. I would say just use the http version of your email when you turn the radio off to save the frustration
I found the answer.
The connection that the Inbox uses to contact the server is set in the server settings -- so you can have a different approach for each server, I guess. Anyway, it's:
Tools > Options
Then tap the name of the server you want to change. On the next screen, tap Edit Account Setup. Then it's Next, Next, Next, Next, (4 of them) until you get to the screen that says Outgoing (SMTP) mail server: and lets you set up an outgoing server. At the bottom is a link that says Advanced Server Settings. Tap that, and look at the pull-down for Network Connection. There should be one called The Internet, which does NOT exist in Start > Settings > Connections. As far as I can tell, that's the WiFi. If you choose that, then tap Next until you tap Finished, Inbox will retreive E-mail via WiFi even if the radio is turned off.

Thanks!!! That works well on every pop-email-account for me!
But how can I choose the connection for my hotmail-account in the inbox? I found no way to prevent using the GSM-connection without switching the radio off, when I try to update my hotmail-account.
Anybody knows how to fix this?
