EDGE on my DASH (smartphone 5.0)

[nimski62]

Okay so im relativley new to this mobile internet stuff but my gprs connects through a proxy on my smartphone. Kind of like the tzones connects.. but i have a regional provider called Centennial Wireless.. ANYWAYS.. i can browse the web through internet explorer just fine.. but i CANNOT use any java apps with it. i DONT THINK i can use push email with it. and i cant use any messenger service with it. is there ANY work around for this annoyingness.?.. i just wonder bc i can access any webpage (wap or non wap) through INET explorer.. ALSO is there any other browser that i can use? i would LOVE to use opera mini.. but i dont think thats happening. let me know pleaseee

most providers block traffic on their proxy.. im on cingular and when i use their proxy'd connection i cant get out on java app's or IM's.. however cingular provides a connection that doesnt have the proxy, so you might want to check and see if there is another connection on your phone available that uses EDGE but not the proxy

I messed around with a few settings on my v635 (changes the port to 8080 and changed the type to HTTP.) and i got perfect connection.. i was able to access the web from java applications!!! so i know its possible now.. just how to enter the same setting on my DASH is the question now?.. here werer the exact setting on the v635.

Service type 1:Http (used to be wap)
Gateway IP 1: 066.099.231.135
Port 1: 8080 (used to be 9201)
SAME FOR PORT 2^
APN: mmspublicwap.centennialwireless.com

and i can access through java apps.. does this mean that the v635 isnt using a proxy and i need to somehow tke the proxy outta the dash? or no?
