[Q] What kinds of proxies does WP8.1 support? - Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

eg: SOCKS, HTTP

SOCKS for sure. Probably also HTTP/HTTPS/FTP, since "normal" Windows does, but I haven't tried it with a pure HTTP(S) proxy (as opposed to a SOCKS one) yet. Relatively few companies seem to use protocol-specific proxies anymore. You can set a proxy for the cellular network, and you can set specific proxies for specific WiFi networks. Some (very few) apps will also let you set app-specific proxy settings, but in general apps just use the system setting.

Problems with Skype on Custom Rom 2.17

Having problems connecting Skype via wifi. Seems to be the same bug that people are experiencing with IE (Opra works fine). I'm wondering if this will impact all wifi applications. Can anyone assist?
Otherwise the new rom is great, excellent battery life.

vespa
I have it fixed (including the IE problem) :lol: :lol:
You need to make sure your connection settings are as follows:
Start----->Settings------>Connections----->Advanced----->Select Networks
Programs that automatically connect to the internet use: My ISP
Programs that automatically connect to private network: T-mobile GPRS
Wooo hooo

Great - glad you got it working.
Now - the settings you described are "soft" - the reference to "T-Mobile GPRS" and "My ISP" are network connections "settings groups" in Microsoft pocket pc lingo. If you wanted to, you could edit each one and do things like change the GPRS gateway that they use, add a proxy or indicate that no proxy is needed, and add one or more network connections that are used by the "settings group".
It's a pretty powerful and flexible system - but whoever organized and designed the way it's all presented to users should be strung up. :x This has got to be one of the most convoluted, unintuitive user interfaces ever conceived, and it's really a disgrace because this really IS an area that lends itself very well to a clean hierarchical interface.
Anyway - what will be most telling is if you were to now look at the definition of the settings groups for "T-Mobile GPRS" and "My ISP". You will likely see that one of them uses "wap.voicestream.com" as an APN (access point name), while the other uses "internet2.voicestream.com" as the APN.
The name of the settings group is arbitrary - you just need to be sure that what's under the covers in each settings group is designated correctly for "private network" or "the Internet" connectivity, for the right APN, specifying or clearing the proxy definition, etc.
As a matter of fact, my groups are the reverse of yours -- "T-Mobile GPRS" is the name of the settings group that's being invoked on my MDA when I connect to the Internet...

How to use internet access with T-zones instead of Total internet? (US T-mobile)

I have been searching thru the forum and i can't find any specific information about it
i use windows live messenger, email , and browse with Opera...I do use live search and google map too and i am with the 19.99 total internet plan now..
Just want to see if it is possible to save the 13 bucks coz i don't need hotspot at all....
I have seen posts that about changing proxy and get the internet with PIE to work but it doesn't mention about other programs like tomtom google map live search and i don't want to change it to the T-zones without confirming this.
Could anyone help please?
i'm in the same boat as you, the 5.99 works on my dash, so i'm expecting it to work on the tilt, but i just cant get it to work...now when i open up PIE, it goes from connnecting, to loading to opening, and just stays there and then gives me error #502... so if you figure it out, def let me know, thanks
omar
Same here, I have posted a thread about it already but no replies, Here. Do let me know it thr is any, n i'll do the same.
I can confirm t-zone plan works fine with google map, push mail to exchange servers, browsing using IE, and regular smtp/pop email. The weather update progam on the today screen does not work. On the other hand, SBSH Pocket Weather does work (I let it update throughout the day). NTP time server service also does not work (using CityTime).
1. add new modem connection -- cellular line (gprs, 3g);
2. access point name -- wap.voicestream.com
3. leave password blank
4. proxy settings check "this network connects to internet";
5. check "use proxy server"
6. proxy server: 216.155.165.50
7. advanced: change http port from 80 to 8080
Under network management, set Internet Connection to the account just created above. Leave private network as "My Work Network".
Soft-reset.
If you have trouble with POP accounts, edit each POP account and change connection away from "My ISP" to the t-mobile account.
Cheers
Okay i have tested this setting for T zones and i am trying to add a few details on it.
1st. Windows Live and Windows Live Messenger does not work =/ I guess it is because it doesn't support proxy connection. I am wondering if anyone can somehow mod it or change the proxy settings of these two programs with registry or other means so i can actually use it?
2nd. PIE works right away with the setting, but Opera won't. Later i add the proxy server in the Opera setting then it works like a miracle too=)
3rd. Some other IM site such as communicationtube.net does support the login of msn using T zones...Kind of a substitute even tho the stock messenger works much better.
4th. for 13 bucks/month the only different is probably only on Windows Live and Windows Live messenger....or if someone can actually provide a mod version of these two programs or a tweak that changes their settings. T zones works perfect for kaiser...
I can confirm that GMM works with the method listed in the link below with the $5.99 T-Mobile Web plan and WM5. But "My Location" does not, may be my phone (Cingular 3125) http://www.ehow.com/how_2245457_tmobile-shadow-any-windows-mobile.html

Create a custom "hidden proxy"?

Hi Guys,
Does anyone know how i go about creating a hidden proxy? I tried looking at the settings of the at&t hidden proxy but can't seem to figure it out...
The problem is I cannot use the proxy setting under connection settings because it is already in use. My cellular operator has a monthly data plan of 100MB for 7,5€, but is limited to http traffic. This limitation is enforced by the use of a http proxy.
I'm running a http proxy server at home and would like to chain the proxies so that all requests would be formated to go to my server, through my operator's one. Is this possible?
Alternatively, does anyone know of a program that would allow me to chain proxies?
Thanks
I would also like to know if it is possible to create your own hidden proxy.
I use my tilt on T-Mobile and am also using the proxy to allow me to get unlimited internet access with the T-MobileWeb (Formerly T-Zones) for 5.99 a month.
However, using the proxy I am unable to use Apps such as remote desktop, windows live messenger, etc because for some reason they don't work with the proxy.
I was thinking that maybe using this hidden proxy instead of putting the proxy info in the connections settings would allow me to use these apps.

If you cannot properly setup a visible HTTP proxy (for WiFi), how could you even think about an invisible proxy?
This device is crappy.
Almost
This looks like the beginnings of an excellent application, however, does anyone know of a program that will automatically switch various settings based on GPS location? I have been digging around for months trying to find a solution that will allow me to set up various "profiles" based on my GPS location, e.g. silent/vibrate, medium brightness, gprs connection enabled all other data connection disabled, while I am at work, and wifi on while im in major metropolition areas, and off while not, etc etc.. is this a pipe dream or has anyone stumbled across something similar?
also Im not sure why you want a "hidden" proxy, but this might be your solution:

Can't get T-MobileWeb to work on Unlocked Tilt on T-Mobile

Did anyone successfully get T-MobileWeb to work on the Tilt to get internet access? I am able to send/receive email but cannot get PIE to connect tot he internet. I've setup the usual T-Mo proxy setting but is there another proxy in PIE somewhere? Is it an issue with PIE connecting through a WAP port?
Thanks.

you need to search forums for tilt tmobile, thats what i had to do..how are your MMS working out... i cant get mine to work after i changed my proxy to get the $5.99 hack... i am thinking i might have to get the data plan.. let me know if you get it working...
these are the settings i am using;
Under Modem,Edit, needs to be wap.voicestream.com
under Proxy the setting needs to be, see below;
This network connects to internet, network uses a proxy server to connect, box need to be checked.. 216.155.165.50, then under advance
216.155.165.50 port:8080

guys, i was able to get both working, however, not on the stock at&t tilt rom. first to get the mms working, i just went to settings-connections-connection setup, and let it setup ur settings for tmobile usa. this will not allow your mms to work. now go to the connections and modify the settings for the 5.99 plan (i posted the exact settings a while back, search for it).. all u pretty much gotta do is add the proxy. good luck

under modem, your access point name should be : wap.voicestream.com

T-Mobile Total Internet
The only differences is instead of wap.voicestream.com, its:
internet2.voicestream.com or internet3.voicestream.com
And instead of ports 9201 its 9203.
i did try those settings...(that is what they are set to now) my internet has no problems, but my MMS does not... so i cant understand the prob!
I've tried all the settings provided by we3zy but still can't get it to work. In PIE, it kept on saying "opening..." and then came back with the following error:
Error 502 - Bad Request
The server could not resolve your request for url: /
Any thoughts?
- Thanks.
OK, got it to work with accessing internet and email by adding a modem setting. However, I have to switch the two connections depending on which function I need.
Under Setting, Connections, Advanced button, Select Networks...I need to do the following:
In the Network Management screen I have a few choices but only the two settings in the top choice (Programs that automatically connect to the internet should connect using: ) need switching. When I click on to select the choices, I have setup one for accessing the internet and another to get email.
Is this normal or am I the only one that have this issue? Its kind of annoying to keep on switching the setting for the functions. Any way to combine the two connections or have the device auto choose and connect automatically?

I really can't explain why your getting that problem. But visit www.yahoo.com and then visit google.com again. I had that problem on the iphone, don't know why.
Make sure you've checked:
use software compression
use ip header compression.
and all ports are 9201
the settings above worked to get ny internet browser up i am currently on google with the original at&t rom now im gonna check my emails and weather plug ins

They are all checked. I changed all ports to 9201 even the http and now when i open pie it says
"You do not have access rights to this site
URL=www.google.com/

Also it adds "wsp://" in front of any link i type in the browser. Maybe you didnt mean change the http port to 9201 but i gave it a shot. are you guys and XXwindowsXX using the 5.99 deal? and it works?
email routing issue + cannot download TM's w/ pics
Hi All ~~
It sounds like I may have found the right msg board! I am a T-Mobile customer using an unlocked AT&T phone with the original ROM (minus the bloatware). I currently have three msging accounts on the Tilt: text msging, a hotmail account and a work email account (which I check via Outlook on my PC). I am having two annoying problems:
(1) I keep getting TMs saying that I have received an email on my work account; however I cannot (a) get the text msg notifications to turn off, nor (b) get the emails to actually pull down into the account. So: I know I have a work email (even who from), but cannot read it. Any thoughts on how to resolve either or both of these issues?
(2) I cannot receive or send pic text msgs. Really annoying; I am curious to see how other T-Mobile Tilt users have their settings arranged for this.
Thank you in advance for any assistance you can provide ~~ Kim
TYTN/Hermes settings?
These settings in post four, would they be the same for the HTC TYTN/Hermes as well? After going into cnections, I notice that there isn't anything called connection settings. Just add new modem conection, proxy settings etc. I'd really like to be able to get this T-Zones up and running on my Hermes as well.
Thanks,

Tilt Solution To Force Http Instead Of Wsp On Tmobile
Our good friends at ATT have two cab files in the \windows folder which install and remove a hidden proxy. By default, it funnels through the proxy.
​ BAD ATT! ​
If you are using T-mobile's 5.99 gprs plan and the HIDDEN proxy is enabled, all traffic will be routed through the hidden proxy and you will be forced to WSP:// pages. This will effectively lock you out of many of the sites that do not support the WSP protocol. Other carriers (Orange?) may be doing this too to drive WSP traffic.
To correct the problem, go to the windows folder and
1. run the restoreHiddenProxy4CWS_0522.cab
2. and then run the removeHiddenProxy4CWS_0522.cab file
3. Close your data connection and restart it. If you don't know how, just press the reset button.
After this is complete install the standard T-mobile GPRS settings and you should be in good shape. If you need a cab for t-mobile, search the board for the most current one or PM me. I keep one handy too.

try this:
server name: call it whatever you want
Gateway: 216.155.165.50
Port: 8080
Server address: http://216.155.174.84/servlets/mms
Connect via: whatever you called the server name
Sending limit: 300k
WAP version: WAP 2.0
make sure you set this MMS server as default
The 5.99 plan requires a proxy. No exceptions that I'm aware of. The good news is that I've not found a page that I cannot browse. The speed isn't stellar, but quite acceptable. Additionally, since the power requirements for GPRS are low, I check email every 10 minutes.
There are a series of CAB files floating around here somewhere that have all the correct settings for each of the Tmo plans.
Same phone also ulocked for T-mobile Final solution
I suggest that you start afresh (Hard reset your phone)
then go to this link and download the cab
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1521768&postcount=70
download this cab
tmobyjoe599.cab
I had the same problem as you but that worked for me and im sure it will work for you.
Oh before i forget make sure that you disable automatic wireless configurator, that stuff is crap.
p.s note to be a pain in the ass. Next time search the forum even google will lead you to the answer of your question.

[HOW-TO] T-Mobile IPv6 with working MMS using the Nexus 4

Get ready for the future ladies and gents! It seems T-Mobile has rolled out IPv6 but it doesn't quite work with mms. This is how I got it to work.
Go to Settings --> More... --> Mobile networks --> Access Point Names --> T-Mobile US --> APN protocol
Make a New APN
Name: T-Mobile US IPv6
APN: epc.tmobile.com
APN type: default,supl (I'm not 100% sure what supl does. It might need to go in the T-Mobile US APN.)
APN protocol: IPv6
APN roaming protocol: (don't know. as it doesn't affect anything on my Monthly4G plan)
View attachment 1517622
View attachment 1517623
Edit your original APN (T-Mobile US)
APN Type: "mms"
View attachment 1517626
View attachment 1517627
Set T-Mobile US IPv6 as your default APN.
This is what I get. It works, but as you can see i'm using GPRS so speeds are naturally a bit slow.
View attachment 1517620
View attachment 1517621
This works with MMS and you get an IPv6 address!
Note: This will break your ability to go to websites via the IPv4 address. You'll have to use the Domain Name. e.g. www.google.com works, but not 64.4.11.37. This is something most of us will never notice.
Great write up, it really helps to have the screen shots. General IPv6 info T-Mobile here https://sites.google.com/site/tmoipv6/lg-mytouch
Do we benefit from this?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
Yes. You benefit in that you do not have to go via a NAT when your phone communicates with another IPv6 enabled node, like www.facebook.com, www.google.com, or any of the other major sites / services that go via IPv6 natively.
Here is a general write up that Google did http://www.google.com/intl/en/ipv6/
and another talking some about how inbound connection to the phone are now possible http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...ere-is-what-it-all-means-and-yes-no-more-nat/
But, generally, ipv4 is broken and run out. NAT breaks the internal model. The Internet needs ipv6 to grow, and thats why heavy weights like Google, Facebook, and others are pushing on it.
Tethering?
I'm on a Galaxy Nexus, but I've been fiddling with these settings for more than a week now trying to find APNs that work properly. Have you found that the system's WiFi tether option does not work when using IPv6? That seems to be the case on the Galaxy. This is the first time I've tried these specific settings, so I'm hoping that they work to give me functional MMS and the internet speeds of IPv6, I can live (subsist) without the tethering, but the no MMS thing was killing me.
As much as I loved this setup doing so broke my native SIP... Anyone have a work around?
supl type is "Assisted GPS" and not yet supported on T-Mobile IPv6.
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/tmoipv6beta/cc99N9A6e-k
mms type should work over IPv6 if you add the MMSC url (same url as IPv4).
wish i could get SIP working with this
I'm sorry, why do I benefit by switching to this? Just curious.

T-Mobile enabled dual stack (IPv4/IPv6) mode a few weeks ago. Just revert everything to stock, than change IPv4 only to IPv4/IPv6.
This works on Nexus 4, but not Nexus S or Galaxy Nexus due to a bug in their firmware. SIP should work in this mode.
With IPv6 only, SIP, Skype, and Google Talk voice and video rely on P2P connections (via IP address), but IPv6 only works with DNS hostnames. You can connect to a hostname that resolves to a IPv4 address (with NAT64), but you can't connect directly to a IP address, as it will fail in DNS. Hope that makes sense.

1) The internet is running out of IPv4 addresses.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPv4_address_exhaustion
2) IPv6 also has better routing protocols for mobile devices.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_IP
3) You should immediately see better latency, as most larger sites (Google, Facebook, Microsoft, Yahoo, etc) are already running IPv6 alongside IPv4. When both addresses are available, IPv6 is used by default.
