Cheers Mikky, if you could PM over a list of IP addresses I'd be grateful, my solution was to take them home and install everything offsite which is pretty rubbish really, and I agree with you regarding Link2ICT they have a thrown several spanners in the works recently at my school and cost an absolute fortune, do'n think we get value for money from them at all.Quote:

Probably. It is Google after all. Doesn't Play register the device with the download??
I've bought a couple of apps which I have installed on both phone and tablet - nothing told me I couldn't, in fact, I think I saw something from Google pointing this fact out (that could be rubbish, though!).Quote:

I came across the settings issue. We are buying 70 andorid ICS devices which are £54 ex vat each. How do I set them all up, install the latest flash and any other program I want without activating the google account.
So today I have written a script...almost finish
The idea:
1/you set up your first tablet/device with wifi settings, homepage, download the apks you want to a folder on windows computer ie Flash, MyApp.
2/ turn to devolper usb
3/ download the settings of your main device.
4/ plug in each device, hit Install and job done!
I am working with ICS as it's the only one with native proxy support. Our children love them and you know what, they are not bothered they arent iPads. They have internet, educationcity and myApp at there finger tips. not to mention any other app i choose to install.
If you think the scripts will be useful to anyone, pm and you can be my testers before i release them to everyone.
Hope this helps

Sounds great, can I ask which tabs you have?Quote:

yup, at the moment i'm using futeko.com - Eken T01 speak directly and get cheap delivery etc.
have not found anything it can't handle, bought 1 for myself to start testing my app and the headteacher was that impressed she bought one. used them with the children first.
Ok so the screen resolution isn't great, and it only has 512mb ram (so does the ipad2!!) but we are talking about mobile java programming! it really is allthe children at this age need.
"the same as found in the Ainol Novo tablets" - you need to be careful how you pronounce that, don't you :-)
We just bought one of these Android tabs to play around with:
Yarvik GoTab Xerios 10 inch Tablet - Black (Cortex A8 1.2 GHz, 512MB RAM, 8GB Memory, Android 4.0.3): Amazon.co.uk: Computers & Accessories
Even though it runs ICS 4.0.3 there is no proxy support!! Apparently enabling that is at the discretion of the manufacturer? I think if we rooted it then we can use proxyDroid (though I have zero clue how to root one of these??). However as a workaround I discovered that installing the Opera web browser allows you to type in a URL of opera:config and it has its own settings for putting proxy address in :) Only prob is that this wouldn't be used by any other apps :(
is it? firt i heard of that, you sure you cant connect. then once connected longpress on that wireless SSID and modify network, advanced?? thought i'd write th steps just incase you didn't know :)Quote:

ICS has proxies on all the devices I've seen. RuAware is right. Long press the connection in the wifi list. That should do it.
Other alternative is use something like ProxyDroid, but you'll have to root your device for it to work.
Thanks @RuAware, turns out you were right! What I was doing wrong was adding the SSID to the device first, then pressing the 'Advanced' button at the top right afterwards. I removed the SSID, clicked Add and then realised I'd completely missed a tick box saying advanced settings underneath where I enter the pass key :doh:
Cheers
Why can't I seem to add wildcards or IP addresses to the proxy exceptions?? Whenever I put an '*' in a URL or the second dot of an IP address, the save button greys out. Surely you can specify an IP at least?
