I can't use WiFi at work (a uni) as it needs a proxy address. Has anyone found an app to allow proxy settings input? It's a real bad failing for such a great device. Iknow Android 2.1 doesn't support as standard. Am gutted by their inability to work on this!cheers
If you are about to browse webpages, there is a way to pass through the wifi proxy. You need to use webbrowser that supports proxies. The mobile firefox is able to do that and there is pre-alpha android build you can use. Details how to configure it you can find here Bloggg: How to: browse internet from behind the proxy on android based device
You can use opera mini to get through proxy without even configuring proxy settings in my experience if you just require websites.
I have decided to write an artical about this (mistahd33 - Slashdot User) and send it to a good portion of leading tech publications to see if a little publicity will budge google on the topic. I encourage others to either do the same, or comment on my artical in support of it. Also I encourage people to check out the issue logged with google here: (Issue 1273 - android - IP Proxy Settings for Wifi Network - Project Hosting on Google Code) and click on the star at the topic of the artical to show google that you need this issue fixed.
