Need Some Help Setting Up Data on Android Phone | Page 4 | Phone/Device Issues and Features | Consumer forum

no IM works unless you use some web version.

At the risk of asking a question already answered, I could really use help with a Speakout data plan problem. My Android LG-P690b (aka Optimus Net) came originally with a Virgin SIM card. I got the phone unlocked and switched to Speakout. Friendly experts installed the data plan settings provided by Speakout, and the web browser now works, although very slowly. However, none of the apps function, including G-mail and email. They all work fine when connected through WiFi.

I see from other postings that there are problems using Speakout on non- 7-11 phones. Can anyone tell me whether they have managed to get their apps working on the LG-P690b via the cellphone network? Many thanks.

Many thanks. Here are the settings I got from Speakout.

Homepage http://wap:8582/start.wml
Connection security: Off
Active Bearer: GPRS
Connection type: GPRS Attach on Demand
Authentication Type: Normal
Access Point Name: goam.com
User Name: wapuser1
Password: wap
Login Type: Automatic
Primary Proxy Server Setting 10.128.1.69
Primary Proxy Server Port: 80

I'm not well informed on cellphones, but this seems to indicate that a proxy server is set up. Is there something else I should be doing? Your assistance is much appreciated!

Unless you root the phone, and install a program like proxydroid, I think the best you can expect is just browsing.

Agreed. That's what I had to do for my Galaxy W.

You will need to root the phone in order to run ProxyDroid. Rooting is sort of like "administrator" access on the PC, it gives access to levels in Android the regular user would not otherwise have. It is a fairly straightforward process but will void your warranty. There are plenty of links on how to do it with SuperOneClick, here's one from theunlockr.com. SuperOneClick does all of the work for you.

Once you have it rooted, then you can run ProxyDroid from the Play Store that will allow other Apps work. Otherwise you are just stuck on Browsing as UMB refers to.

Did you try using a Proxy App as described in detail several pages back? Unless you are on Jellybean, none of the apps other than the Browser will work without a Proxy. Even with Jellybean only about 60% of the apps will work without a Proxy. With a Proxy about 80% of the apps will work.

Well, he can root his phone and use DroidVPN, that way he'll get 99% app functionality.

I have rooted my phone and installed Auto Proxy Lite. It works in outsite.
But there another problem, once I get home with my WiFi, both don't work. I have to turn off either WIFI or the Auto Proxy. Otherwise, I cannot browse anything.
It is interesting, maybe because my house is starco finished with the steel net. My phone has no signal, in basement, it has no signal at all. So I can only use WIFI. I have to switch them all the time.
I am wondering if I update the Auto Proxy to full (I am reluctant to give out my credit card #, they don't have a paypal option.) does it swith automaticly?

I did this;

I have a factory unlocked Dell Streak that came with android 2.2. You can only get the unlocked version from Dell USA. I installed the SO SIM card and went to Settings / Wireless & network Settings / Mobile Networks / Access Point Names / APNs
Name Speak Out
APN goam.com
Proxy 10.128.1.69
Port 80
Username wapuser1
Password wap
Server
MMSC http:/mms.gprs.rogers.com
MMS proxy 10.128.1.69
MMS port 80
MCC 302
MNC 720
Authentication type None
APN type default

The built in browser works but very few Apps work

and it works fine for me. THANK YOU! I have a Samsung s2 19100, unlocked but I think unrooted and I was worried I'd have to do fancy stuff. I just email, surf, FB, use the maps and a few other things but it all works fine and I am SO pleased!

Did you know the customer service send you here to get you problems solved? I love that.
