    I'm trying to set the proxy settings to connect to a wireless network but there's seems to be no option to do this on the desire.

    Having a look at the results on google seems to suggest that it's not possible to do this on android without getting a custom rom

    Which sounds unbelievable! My old nokia did this no problem, it seems bizarre that it's so awkward on the Desire.

    Any simple workarounds?

    Proxy settings or wireless key?

    You don't need a proxy setting to connect to wifi.

    If it's just wifi you should get prompted for a key when you click your network.

    He's talking about proxy settings, I assume for work or college. I'm pretty sure there is no workaround besides a custom rom I'm afraid..

    I bought this phone s/h its unlocked (originally meteor) to use on vodafone.

    It works fine as a phone but I cannot get any internet access (wifi or 3g)

    It currently has no apn settings as it was not originally a vodafone phone and i can't get it to work with the wifi network in college which is behind a proxy server (i did input the settings). Trawling boards, I have found various different APN settings (some give the user/pass as dublin/dublin or vodafone/vodafone and some have no logins) and nothing has worked for me! Customer care said they couldn't send it over the air but i'm not too confident they know what they are on about - I told her what type of phone i had and she said "you might want to try the galaxy website so" :rolleyes:...

    As for the wifi, there is a place to input the settings but it doesn't do anything and this seems to be a common problem.


    So what I need is this:

    • Confirmed APN settings (preferably from somebody running stock fw on an original vodafone phone)
    • Does anybody know how to get around the proxy issue? Does the app transproxy work?
