[Q] Android 3.1 & Proxy Settings

---

So I just got my asus transformer the other day, and coming from an avid iPhone/iOS background, I feel a bit let down. In no way am I a fanboy, but theres issues im having with this android device that have never been as such with iOS.

Mainly, proxy settings! I was fortunate enough to get my device a day before the 3.1 update came out, and the update brought with it native support for manually setting the proxies.

unfortunately, these settings dont work. I set it up to work with my workplaces proxy server and even though the info is there, they dont work. not only that, they only apply to the browser. Two huge issues!! Now most people would just discard the device and go back to what theyre used to, but I want to give this device a chance before I (possibly) return it to the store.

Are there any apps for 3.1 that set a UNIVERSAL proxy setting? Something that not only will work, but also apply the proxy settings to youtube, the market place, and anything else that runs on the device. Before the update came out, I tried using AnyCut to setup a shortcut to the hidden proxy settings, but even then it was shoddy at best. Half the time id click on the link and it wouldnt even open up the proxy settings page. (note, Half. it did work sometimes)

Essentially, if I cant get this thing to run at work, its going back and will be exchanged for an Acer Iconia running win7. I really hope theres a solution here!

Yeah, I'm quite disappointed with the proxy support in they included in the update. If they couldn't apply it to everything, at least update the core apps to use it. I mean, I can't even get my email over the proxy.

i used to use TransProxy on my phone and it worked great.

you may not be happy about a honeycomb tablet, but a Windows 7 tablet wil absolutely drive you mad ..

so I searched for TransProxy in the market place. and found something called ProxyDroid.
tried it, what the hell, and it works Better. I still cant get the facebook app / mobile facebook site to work. but its a step ahead of the silly native proxy support. hmmm never had to go through any of this crap on my iPhone. grr
