I tried to use a couple proxy apps such as autoproxy or proxydroid but none of them worked. Can someone please help me? I have nova8 ROM.
Thanks.
You can always use Orbot (Known as Tor in PC)
Installation guide:
1. Install Orbot from the market but don’t open it yet.
2. Download the gpg signature file & move it to the ROOT Folder of your SD card.
3. Open Orbot you will see in the screen a message saying "Orbot is deactivated" keep it this way & don’t activate it. Instead press your phone MENU button & go to settings & tick both "Transparent Proxying" & "Tor Everything".
4. Now you can go to Orbot Home Screen & activate it.
Doesnt work. I want to connect to the internet via wifi, using a http proxy. I want to use the phone at school.
Please, I have no other way to connect to the internet on with the phone.
I used the 3g data connection but the costs are huge. Other solutions?
I sold my phone because if i cant use a proxy the phone is useless. Got a 2x but i still miss the black.

We need different requirement using the phone, and you already give up.. It seems you had money to buy more expensive phone, rather than get a solution.. and because that's the faster way to get what we need, don't we?
Anyway, congratulation with your new phone, hope your proxy work...
My phone bill was huge, i just couldnt wait.

The company, vito technology has not responded. Any ideas?
2)can anyone recommend a GOOD sms app for the HTC S730?
thanks!
How can I make absolutely sure my phone doesn't connect to 3G/EDGE unintentionally? I don't want it to default to this when it can't connect to a specific WiFi-signal, since my calling plan has terrible rates for data transfers.

i may have the perfect solution for this....(especially if you're operator is Tmobile)
go to start>settings>connections>connections.
manage existing modem connections.
tap and hold that connection located there and delete it.
now without connecting to a wifi signal, open your browser and type a site (ex. google.com) and if that edge/3g doesn't pop up, SUCCESS!!!
hope it works and good luck.
Is there registry hack to force phone to ask user confirmation before connecting using GPRS/EDGE/3G. All normal phones has that...

I'm not recognizing the menu choices there, is this for a s730? I did try to change user name and password in GRPS settings under Start>settings>connections>GPRS, but that didn't seem to help either.
What omadon99 suggested about a registry hack would be perfect, since I don't want to permanently disable 3G/EDGE, I just don't want the phone to connect to it and cost me money without confirmation when WiFi doesn't work.
Got myself an ATT Touch Pro. When using the Internet Sharing Application, with either USB or Bluetooth, I am getting an error. This is what is going on.
1. Open the Application.
2. Select either USB or Bluetooth.
3. Click on Connect.
4. Click Yes on the Enable the Device Dialogue.
5. Status shows as Device Setup finished.
6. Network activitiy shows in the Top tool bar.
7. Error message: Cannot Connect. The Remote party has ended this connection.
I can put the same SIM back in my Tilt and I am running great. Also downloaded URPREY-ICS from a different thread and installed it. But still having the isssue. Any help is appreciated.
It's AT&T's way of trying to force you to get a tethering plan. You need a registry editor, and maybe your phone unlocked, but mine worked without it.
Go to the key [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\InternetSharing\settings]
There will be a value ForceCellConnection it will be set to "AT&T ISP". Change it to "Media NET" without the "" and that should do it. You'll need to close and reopen internet sharing if you had it open while doing this.
Thanks so much! It worked!!!!
Internet Sharing on FUZE
All you really have to do is go into settings and select the ATT ISP... edit... instead of [email protected] change to WAP. This will connect the forced ATT ISP Setting to connect to wap.cingular... No need for a download or anything... I had mine working in a few seconds.
I am assuming it is against AT&T's TOS to tether without the plan, correct?
My question is... I pay for the unlimited data package... If I tethered for small amounts of data while traveling is it really noticeable? Is there any other way for them to tell?

they can't notice if the traffic is coming from a laptop or a phone but they can notice irregularities in the data consumption. Basically, if you use it for normal usage (web browsing, email, etc..) then you should be fine.

I've had unlimited data for over two years. I stream TV via orb from my home pc to my phone and laptop, browse the internet going to whatever site I please, etc. I've went over 5GB a few times, but normally stay in the 2-3 GB a month range. I've never heard anything. And not they can't tell. If it's against their TOS, they need to tell their reps in the store. When I got my blackjack two years ago, that's exactly what they told me to do. They said you don't need a plan other than unlimited to tether with this phone.

So did I. Because I already had a registry editor downloaded on my mem card and it worked fine on my new phone. A registry editor is a requirement IMHO, so it's well worth the download even if you don't use it for this.

Actually you are better off to just empty out the value.
This way, when you go to internet sharing you will get a second drop down asking you to select the connection.
I did this and it works greate. ( This is how the unlocked version of HTC Touch Pro has )

I hit around 5.8GB back in March. Didn't hear anything, so I assume no news is good news. They CAN do it however. Doubt full that they will unless you make it a habit. That was only my second or third time over 5GB in over 2 years and the most I have ever used in a month. Yay march madness!
Took latest HTC ROM and sharing will no longer work
I updated my Rom on both my Fuze and Tilt. Now internet sharing will not work any more. I get the remote refusal message. I went into the reg and I do not have the forceconnect value to delete. Any suggestions??

Try a custom ROM? I don't have that ROM to tell you what to change, but I would guess it is the connection internet sharing is using. Use media net and see if that helps. If not, custom rom! There's no good reason really to run a stock ROM unless you intend on using your phone the way AT&T wants you to.

Same way...with a registry editor.
Sorry, I didn't make myself clear. Does the Tilt2 already have a register editor, or do I need to download one? If it has one, how do I get to it? If I need to download one, what would you recommend?
Thanks,

You need to download one. I'm using whatever came with my ROM, so I'm not sure of the name, but they are available here. Just search for them.

Hello,
I'm an auto technician that has a Snap-on Verdict auto diagnostic tool, which is an XP pro based mobile console with wifi and Bluetooth capabilities. My goal is to link this unit to the internet throught my un-rooted captivate 2.1. I searched YouTube and found a link that walked through the steps (kinda,bad English) for first linking via Bluetooth, which I've done, then set the setttings for internet connection (for att connection, which I have) on the XP unit. As I mentioned I have paired the phone with the Verdict. The Verdict recognizes the phone (classified as a phone/modem) as SGH-i897 with passkey enabled. That's as far as I have been able to make it. The YouTube video, which i'll link, then start to leave my translation/technical capabilities. Any help would be much appreciated. I'm a pretty good mechanic and will gladly exchange assistance with any auto related concern you may have.
-happy new year

here it is,
youtube.com/watch?v=baDESd_KYQ8&feature=related[/url]
-thanks again
Looked up the specs on that thing, and it's also wifi capable....it might be easier for ya to root your phone, and install wifi tether. Then, your phone acts like a mobile hotspot. Connect your Verdict to the "network" created by your phone, then it will share the internet connection.
rooting is a quite simple process, and the tethering (I believe) is just an app you can download

Rooting is a simple process. But you aren't going to be able to tether a virgin(unrooted) Captivate wirelessly to anything. The tethering apps pyrplhaze spoke of require root access or a custom ROM because AT&T censors them from the market. You will either have to root, install a custom ROM, or install a tethering app from a third party source. Good luck!
thanks for the replies,
I've tried to root my captivate a couple of times but I've had better luck tuning Renault than succesfully rooting this phone. It seems like the rooting challenge is a fast moving target for me, I've tried following "outdated" threads and such but as of yet I haven't pulled it off (dummy). I realize my stupidity regarding these protocols should make me ineligible for rooting/tethering assistance but I'm motivated to have the ability to better diagnose vehicles while mobile.
I'll help ya out, step by step.
1. Download this, and extract it to your desktop.
2. Enable USB Debugging (MENU > SETTINGS > APPLICATIONS > DEVELOPEMENT > USB DEBUGGING) and connect your phone to your PC via USB.
3. Open Galaxy_One-Click_Root.exe and click One-Click Root. Your phone will reboot into recovery mode.
4. Use VOLUME DOWN to select REINSTALL PACKAGES and press the POWER BUTTON to select it. Done, rooted!

As for installing a Custom ROM that includes Tethering (such as Perception, or Cognition), after you're rooted, download ROM Manager from the Market. Open it up, and Flash ClockworkMOD, first option! After that, place the rom.zip of your choice on your /sdcard/, open ROM Manager, click Reboot to Recovery. It'll reboot, after that, all you need to do is select Install rom from zip, then choose zip from sd card.
Make sure you have the one-click back to stock just incase things go wrong!

Have the original G1 Google Phone [HTC firmware ver. 1.6] Had to reset the phone to get the last Google Talk account off. I now find that the WiFi configuration panel that existed is no more. What replaced it is a panel that has more parameters that I can comprehend. I am looking for a Google desktop app that would allow me to install google apps to the phone via USB cable. At this point, I see no other way to make use of the device.
I've taken the cell contract off of the phone for now and only want to use it for WiFi access. Windows internet connection sharing has yet to work. Guidance sought
even if your phone isnt rooted and you dont have a data plan, you can still use this phone via wifi for a portable internet/mp3/etc device.
you need to be signed into at least one google account to operate the phone (unles it is rooted and has custom rom) once in you can use the phone not as a phone but a portable mini computer or whatever so long as you are in a wifi hotspot

You can install apk files by copying them onto the sd and install them through some file explorer on the phone
And what don't you understand in the wi-fi panel?
Check wifi, go into wifi settings, click on the name of your wifi network, and type in the password if you have one
are you unable to login/register? If I remember correctly you need data plan to register...but there is a bypass to that, is that what ur problem is?
WiFi for the G1
Greetings:
Much thanks for your reply. Please know the following:
- Phone had a contract
- Wifi continued to work when contract was cancelled
- Because of slow internet navigation it was suggested [from a forum] that I reset the phone. After the reset the Wifi configuration panel was no longer. What replaced it was a series of input windows that requested information far beyond network name, SSID, etc.
- The SIM card that had been in the phone no longer is recognized.
Still hoping for guidance if it is at all possible to configure this device. Additionally, I would like to cultivate some mobile developer skills and would also like to use this device for educating myself. Much thanks for your support as I await your reply.

No ADB or somethig needed, just 4 touches my friend, If it's possible, go to the Begin-screen where the android is, touch the four corners of the screen on the upper-left, upper-right, down-right, above the black bar where all the buttons are, and down-left. If I am right, it would skip the whole sign-in screen and just go on the home-sceen. IF it works, just press that little thanks button up at my nickname, okay?????
Hi
I been having problems with using my "internet sharing" on my lumia 1020(keep telling me I need a data connection in order to use this feature....eventhough I do have). I asked around and one person asked if my lumia 1020 was from Rogers Canada which it was. Eventhough my phone is unlocked, this person is saying that the Rom on my phone is still Rogers and it is most likely the reason. He suggested getting rid of the rom, though I am not sure how to do this. I seen some posts here on how to flash but nothing for 1020, I am wondering if there is some guide for the 1020 as I really want step by step guide for my phone as I don't want to screw up.
Do you have the problem with both, wifi and mobile data connections? And did you try by connecting to a PC via USB (= using that connection)?
Also, why shouldn't it work with that particular ROM, did he explain that any further?

How I understand internet sharing works, is that it shuts off wifi and you can only use your data connection. It tries to shut it off and then I get this error ""there's no celluar data connection to share right now. check your cellular settings and signal, and try again"
Even though I can surf the internet before and after that message, so it is not my data connection. This guy thinks said he seen this happen on other phones and the he thinks the reason is that Rogers has like software locked that feature so that it only works with their Sims and that it is reject my Sim from another provider. He thinks that if I would reflash my computer with the Rogers rom then that check would not exist and it would work.
I am not sure what you mean by connecting to to a PC via USB. I can connect my phone to my computer and browse the file system of the phone, I just can't hotspot or really send MMS messages.
Oh, I thought you were talking about a different feature.
Yeah, you create a wifi hotspot from your data connection. What I said doesn't make sense then.
In general, you could also try a hard reset instead of fiddling with ROM, that's way safer. However, you will lose all your data on the device, so make sure you backup everything beforehand.
http://www.hard-reset.com/nokia-lumia-1020-hard-reset.html
I once had an issue with a settings page on my Lumia 800 back in WP7 days. Everything else failed, but a hard reset fixed it.
Is there any backup program to backup like your titles and stuff or will I have to setup all this up. I think my apps are backed up?

I don't know what "Access Point" is. I am trying to use settings -> internet sharing - switching sharing from "off" to "on"
Yes calling works, texting works(besides mms texting which seems to work maybe 50% time)
Yes Data works, I can surf the net, use any data required. Only thing is "internet sharing" thinks it is off.
Search the internet for "Nokia access point app" you will get a link to the windows store to download the app. Download and install it. It fixes internet sharing.

Works for me. Talk to wind and tell them you have an galaxy 3 or some other phone the sell, the them you need your phone reprovisioned (it just means the renew your cell network connection)
