Vodafone Live! on Iphone (how to configure the proxy settings)

freddy99

Does anybody have a success story with Iphone and the 9.99/month package from vodafone.
Just want to check before I sign up.
Are there proxy issues. Have they been overcome ?

Regards.

mine is working grand. web only at the moment (no IMAP or POP3), and a little slow, but works grand.

The Proxy.PAC file should look like this:

function FindProxyForURL(url, host)
{
if (isInNet(myIpAddress(), "10.0.0.0", "255.0.0.0"))
return "PROXY 10.24.59.100:80";
else
return "DIRECT";
}

you also need to check this page in relation to how to use the proxy.pac (http://www.hackint0sh.org/forum/showthread.php?t=6365).

Good luck!

freddy99

Thanks Iotas,

Can you tell me what to do with the proxy file ?
Do I load it to the Iphone ?
What is the speed like ?
Probably worth the 9.99 anyway, I guess.

Regards

lotas

Everything you need to know is on tjhe haxlintosh site. Speed wise, about 30-40k a second.

Food luck

Thank again Iotas,

I have set up GPRS package with Vodafone and confirmed that it is active.
I have followed the link and used the proxy.pac for the vodafone proxy.
I have used APN live.vodafone.com, and username dublin, password dublin.
Everytime I open safari, shares or weather from the desktop, the application fails. Safari gives me a "lost network connection" (NSURLErrorDomain:-1005).
Weather and shares just automatically close after 1 second.

I am using v1.1.2 Iphone.
Can anyone offer any help ?

Regards

lotas

Hmmm... double check your preferences file mentioned in the hackint0sh forum. i had it in the wrong place the first time i tried.

It took me a few attempts at getting it working. but in the end it does work. you may need to try your connections 2x times... not sure why but it seems to time out and have to reconnect...

freddy99

Iotas,

Thanks again for replying.
Is it possible for you to compare this preferences file with your preferences.plist ? I've double checked and it is stored in the correct place.
Also I have checked proxy.pac and it is stored in the correct spot.
Do you have the APN and username and password in entered in the network settings as well ?

Thank you and regards,

Same as what i have... i do have the APN, username and password all set in the network properties. the hackintosh site is not loading for me at the moment, but i have my file in /var/root/library/preferences/SystemConfiguration/preferences.plist. not sure if thats going to make a difference...

freddy99

Thanks for that. I'll have a look later.

Hi, I'm Just after getting my Iphone, Vers 1.1.3 and everything is working fine except Vodafone LIVE, I can access weather, stocks, maps etc using 'isp.vodafone.ie' however this is very expensive, I was reading your comments about setting up Proxy Pac to use Vodafone Live.

Would this Proxy Pac let me use 'live.vodafone.com' as APN, as currently this those not work when I put it in. Also, would this mean I could use 50MB for 99c a day?

I went onto the Hacktoinse Website Mentioned but found this confusing and didn't know where to go or what to do. Can you please help?

Thanks so Much

lotas

yep. this method will allow you to use live.vodafone.com as your apn. you need to tell safari and all HTTP bound software (weather, stocks, maps) to use the proxy pac (see the preferences file above) and once thats done your golden.

I am using it for basic web surfing, and its working well. pity i cant get mail though it...

freddy99

I have vodafonelive working with 16GB 1.1.3 using proxy pac.
This is how I did it:

Use the proxy.pac file mentioned above, but change the path line as below
.
The preferences.plist goes in different places and so does the proxy.pac file.

I put the preferences.plist in both paths:
/private/var/root/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/preferences.plist
and
/private/var/preferences/SystemConfiguration/preferences.plist

and I'm using the /var/mobile directory for proxy.pac

just make sure you edit the preferences.plist to point at the proxy.pac path
example:
/private/var/root
change to
/var/mobile

It definitely works and I am using it on 9.99 package.

Good Luck

Noel1985

Thanks a Million guys for reply! However, What is the Proxy Pac? Do i Download it to PC and install it on my IPhone? Or do I just put the above Preferences into my iphone and if so, Where?

Thanks again for the Replies!

validis_

Hi guys , I am having an issue setting this up , I am running firmware 1.4 , and was wondering what firmware you guys are running?
Also for the edge settings in setting>general>network do you have live.vodafone.com username password dublin?
thanks

freddy99

Hi. Use a text editor like Wordpad. Copy and paste the proxy pac at the top of this thread to a new file. Save it as proxy.pac.
Use wifi, ssh and Winscp to access internal file structure on iphone. See iclarified.com and hackintosh.org as posted above.
Modify the preferences.plis file as above
Save the proxy.pac file to the location in my previous post and also the preferences.plist to the locations mentioned.
I am using 1.1.3 16GB and working good with vodafone.

Good luck

Idu

i thought the Iphone was only available with O2 or am I totally ignorant?

freddy99

Iphone not available anywhere in Ireland just yet. Above refers to imported and jailbroken Iphones only.

Idu

yeah i figured that. whats the 9.99 a month deal everyone is talking about?

validis_

Thanks Freddy, I might move back to 1.1.3, I had set up the files in the correct locations etc. I was wondering if you still have to put in the edge settings: live.vodafone.com
username: dublin
password: dublin

lotas

yea validis, you still need to use those.

validis_

Hey , tried it again with firmware 1.1.3 and firmware 1.1.4, still not working, I will call vodafone to make sure that the 9.99 option is activated on my phone. I cant think of any other reason that its not working.
I do get a data connection if i dont add the proxy.pac , and if i leave the edge settings empty.

validis_

Just to update , The settings were not working because vodafone hadn't turned part of the service on. The way I set it up was to goto installer and to install the T-Mobile 1.1.3 Tzones, and then I ssh into the phone and changed the tmobile proxy number to the vodafone one @ /private/var/preferences/proxy.pac then I added the edge details above and it worked fine.
So far web, weather and google maps work. Mail (gmail imap) does not work

I'm with vodafone too but this proxy.pac isnt working for me either. I'm on ready to go.
What do I need to ask vodafone to do for me to get it working?

beosf

Hi,

im with Vodafone Germany. I changed the proxy.pac on my iphone and the only sute i can browse to is www.vodafone.de

But the speed is extrem slow....

Did you change the preference.lst too????

Hi Lotas and Freddy

I'm trying to access the live.vodafone.com as well and really appreciate your posts on this subject. The proxy.pac file seems pretty straight forward and simple, but the preferences.plist seems more elusive... or maybe I'm just a bit groggy after a Saturday night out.

I'm wondering about the changes / placement of the preferences.plist file and indentations required...

When adding the lines of code to the plist should one indent? if so can you post an exact copy of your indentations on this list? Also... is the code added prior to the last two lines of code <dict> and <plist> lines -

as here
<string>(name of your phone) Phone</string>

Can anyone also be more specific as to where the proxy.pac and preferences.plist files are placed on the Iphone. There seems to be differing opinions and results.

Thanks,

My model is 16GB 1.1.3.

I saved the new preferences.plist in both paths:
/private/var/root/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/preferences.plist
and
/private/var/preferences/SystemConfiguration/preferences.plist

and I'm using the /var/mobile directory for proxy.pac

Hope this works for you.

Freddy

lotas

just make sure its under the ip1 section. i made the mistake of putting it in the wrong place for a while, and it wouldent work...

Good luck!

Reganovski

<integer>1</integer>
<key>ProxyAutoConfigURLString</key>
<string>file:///var/mobile/proxy.pac</string>

Do you not put private before "var/mobile/proxy.pac"?

And is your ip address your current ip address in the proxy.pac or should it be 10.0.0.0???

Regan

freddy99

Do not put "private" before "var/mobile/proxy.pac". This directs the preferences.plist program to look for "proxy.pac" in directory "var/mobile".
Make sure that this is where you save proxy.pac.

if (isInNet(myIpAddress(), "10.0.0.0", "255.0.0.0"))
return "PROXY 10.24.59.100:80";

The ip address is as stated. Do not change anything in proxy.pac.
10.24.59.100 refers to vodafone.live proxy address. ":80" refers to the port used.

It will work if you follow the above instructions...at least for 16GB 1.1.3.

Good luck

Hi Freddy & lotas:

Thanks again for the quick responses... I'm still not having any joy.

One thing to note is that I do NOT see a folder path
/private/var/root/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/preferences.plist

on my iPhone I only have
/private/var/root/Library/Preferences/preferences.plist

Should I create a folder for named "SystemConfiguration"? And then put the preferences.plist in that folder on the iPhone?

I am running 1.1.4
iPhone 8GB
Macintosh computer
if that matters at all.

All the best

Marv
