Modify Wifi network to enter proxy - Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi All,
I am not a developer and my knowledge on android is limited(but i am learning) so please excuse if am not making sense in posts
I have galaxy ace S5830. Rooted recently and now running with CM7 apocalypse. The problem i am having in my ace is i am not able to add proxy settings in my ace. I have wifi connection in my office and i dont have option to add proxy anywhere. My colleague uses HTC OneX and if he long press on the wifi network he will get two option.
1. forget network
2. modify network
In modify network he can enter proxy settings but in my set i get only one option that is forget network.
I have searched some posts but i did not any info out of it. And there were no specific posts for galaxy ace too.. Please help

Tried pressing the menu key?

Yes.. hope u are referring to advanced settings option.. There i could see only manual configuration. not the proxy settings..
I got this somwhere..
On the phone screen long press -> shortcuts -> activities -> settings -> proxy settings.
I have entered the proxy and port there but no luck
I have also tried installing 'ProxyDroid' app but no luck there as well...
Please help
Thanks,
Arun

USB tethering problem

I was able to do it once but never again after that.. I've been editing my APNs, not sure if that's the cause or not. My MMS works and my internet connection works on my phone... so..?
Please see my logcat. If someone can please help me... I'm lost.

Editing your APN does nothing with USB tethering because the APN is your list of providers your phone will connect to. What kernel ROM and kernel are you using?
Sent from my Hero that never dies! ;D
and this has absolutely nothing to do with development

The Kernel I'm using is 2.6.29.6-DecaFuct [email protected] #589
ROM is LiquidSense 2.1.1 Stable (Odex)

I thought it would have to do with development as I was thinking it maybe a driver issue or something else. I don't think it's something very user-friendly. I think adb-ing into the system to edit and/or modify a config file, etc. would be needed and hoped someone here would recognize this.
thats why liquid roms always had tether issues ans once again this is in the wrong section!

You need to create and set your operators APN settings under mobile networks in settings.
BTW ask your questions in general forum not here.
you probably don't have APN configured

I use setting my APN .. n doesn't not working man... please help
If something isn't working I suggest to flash rom once again.
wipe data/cache factory reset.
Or check once again APN configuration..
CM7 "should" already have all APN Configs.
You can also download config file from here and put it into /system/etc.

Did you put "internet" as the APN type?? If so keep the APN type field blank and try again..
Solution
Hi Bro this is very common problem... due to the fact you are flashing your cellphone with rom that maybe is from europe, you will need to get the modem from your country and flash the modem trough "ODIN" ,it works for me so eveytime i Use a rom from any developer from any country i just flash the modem with odin and wuala start working the 3g and hdsp+ connection do a little bit of search i will try to upload the files if you need help with that.... Do a little bit of search and this only flash the modem so it will not change any settings on your phone...

Not all APNs are included there and CM/Android is a worldwide available product, for example my APN is not there and having that bunch of useless APNs wouldn't help in any way, what I do agree is that a simple pop up at the beginning reminding users that they need to set up their APN manually would help avoid these kind of questions to continuously pop up all over the internet.

Network not available

Hello. I'm having some issues with my device. For some reason my phone shows full signal and if I try to make a call it says that the network is not available and i have to reboot to work again. I tried many versions of clockwork mod and many roms and the problem exist. Does anyone know something about it? thank you

Its possible you are on the wrong Network, some network providers belong to the same group as such your phone may be getting signals from their sister network and not from the network your sim originates from
check menu> settings> wireless and network > mobile networks > and select the correct network , if its on another

[Q] Strange problem: Solved!

Hey guys,
I posted a query in the Philz forum as well regarding this, however, since I've moved on to the hydracore v5.4, I thought I might post it here, too.
I'm on stock ICS with hydracore v5.4 now (having changed from speedmod k13 to Philz cwm6 v2.7 to hydracore). All my websites including facebook are talking to me; I just cannot disable these voice prompts! I checked the "talkback," "explore by touch," and the "drive mode," none of which is checked... what seems to be the issue? The whole problem began when I changed to Philz kernel; I even did a couple of hard resets... :crying: Please help.
check any specific app that is causing this problem.. nothing related to kernel
Light Flow or Tasker.

Along with others, I've NoLED, Voice talk, notification launcher and beats audio running... do you think any of these are causing it? sorry, a noob here
disable voice talk
as in click on it and do a STOP
Try this
Settings, Lanuage & Input, Text-to-speech Output, Driving Mode - untick
or you can double click Home button then when you get to the Voice Talk screen turn off the Driving Mode car button

No just using the hard keys... was that wrong?

Yes... didn't lose any system apps, just the ones that I had downloaded. Apparently, the problem was NoLED as once I uninstalled it and rebooted the phone, it has so far not talked to me! Good grief :victory: Thanks you for all your help and patience!

It is Xperia XAlert. If you have already granted it device admin rights, there is nothing you can do. Try to uninstall it and see. Or Open it and see if you remember the password so that you can disable it.

anyway this is how i fixed it
i force restarted the ph. then downloaded a task manager and force closed x alert then i was able to access my settings from which i followed these steps
App is good for security but once you activate it and enable password for applications it gives you really bad annoying experience. To fix the issue, please do following:
If you have Screen lock = Pattern then you need to change it to PIN
Go to Settings => Security => Device Administrator and untick X - Alert for XPERIA
Now go to Settings => Apps => All = Select X - Alert for XPERIA
Click on Force Stop and do Clear Cache
