HallX Posted February 28, 2011 Posted February 28, 2011 Hi Does anyone have a HTC Desire, if so, is it possible to have separate network settings for Wi-Fi connections as you can the iPhone, for example DHCP for the home connection and static for work. Also, is it possible to set a proxy? Cheers Paul
LosOjos Posted February 28, 2011 Posted February 28, 2011 Not with stock ROM's, no. There are a ton of threads on here relating to this, search for "android" and you'll find them 1
HallX Posted February 28, 2011 Author Posted February 28, 2011 @LosOjos As I suspected. It's the assistant heads brand new toy so I guess I wont be hacking it!! Thanks Paul
rocknrollstar Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 So even if I put a rom on my phone, there is still no proxy access? Can't believe google left it out in the first place
SimpleSi Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 Static IP Toggle - Android app on AppBrain Would seem to do a static/dhcp toggle but you'd still have the proxy problem. As much as not being able to have a proxy (with standard roms) is annoying to us geeks, in practice, I don't think many non-geek people actually need wi-fi access at school - a 3G connection with reasonable data plan usually does the job. A simple profile switching app (home with wi-fi and school with it switched off) should meet your teacher's needs. Si

MYK-IT Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 Apps > Voice Dialer > {say the word} Proxy (Not sure if works on Standard ROM) or Setup an APN with the required Proxy Settings. (Never tried, just a suggestion).
SimpleSi Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 Is Opera Mobile the only option when it comes to browsing the web via a proxy on a non-rooted phone? I believe, (but never tried as I actually don't need it) that you can bodge things and pretend you are using a 3G network (which do allow proxies) but actually connect via wifi. have a google, try the solutions out and let us know Apps > Voice Dialer > {say the word} Proxy (Not sure if works on Standard ROM) This def doesn't work on standard roms BTW I've got proxy support (as I'm using CyanogenMod ROM) but I just don't bother using it. regards Simon
