Hello,

i have a SE Xperia Neo V, official 2.3.4 update, then rooted.
my problem is that i cant find any way to use a proxy for wifi. I tried the market (ProxyDroid), but it does not work with any combination of settings. other devices

please help: is there any way to use a proxy for wifi, or did i buy a (half) useless brick?

other devices have this ability embeded in 2.3.4 version of the OS.

thank you.

i was told that before (even received a screenshot), but there is no such option on my phone. in the "advanced settings" page there is nothing about proxy.

seems i am too new here to post the screenshot of my phone, i will just list the options in the "advanced settings" page:

advanced
- wi-fi sleep policy
- mac address
- ip address
ip setings
- use static ip
- ip address
- gateway
- netmask
- dns 1
- dns 2

the screenshot i received (non-SE phone) has proxy options before "ip settings". i dont have them.

after a few days break, i tried proxydroid one more time last night and it worked straight away.
with this ocasion i discovered some thing dont work very well unless you do stuff in a specific order: before proxydroid i had to use a vpn connection to get me past the proxy. if i turned off the wifi with vpn connected, next time i turned on wifi and connected to vpn, it would not work. i discovered i have to manually turn off the vpn and only after that disconnect the wifi.
