Galaxy S3 - Apps & Wifi - Help Needed

[VG008]

Hi All,

So I got a S3 today and connected the device to a WiFi network.
I can browse the interwebs however, no application can connect successfully via the Wifi.

The Wifi connection does use proxy settings.

I know that certain apps are not blocked on the network, since it works fine on my iPad.

Please help

I am probably not going to be much help but did you try the apps via the mobile data connection and are they working? Have you tried via a wifi connection where no proxy is required?

Via mobile - yes it is working.
I don't have another wifi connection at the moment. I will try it out @ home, later.

Have you set up your account with the Play Store?

Yip. All good.

Besides the play store, if I try to use the FNB app it doesn't work.
I really doubt the FNB app is linked to the play store account.

Do you switch you DATA/3G connection off when you use Wifi?

If its working via the phone mobile data connection, then its definitely a problem with the proxy - only way to know for certain is to test on a wifi network with no proxy.

I suspect certain apps might work via the iPad, maybe because it connects differently??? I am not sure.

I works fine with a mobile connection and a WiFi without a proxy.
When I use the browser on the S3, it asks me for the proxy credentials. I suspect the apps can't ask for these credentials.

Unlike the iOS where the proxy details are stored in one location and used throughout the OS, I suspect the S3 doesn't work like this

You can add the proxy details on the actual wifi connection.

When adding your wifi credentials, there is a "Show advanced Options" tick box at the bottom. Once you check that, you will be presented with more options, where you can add your proxy details.

If that doesn't work Root + Proxydroid.

Yes, that is how I store the proxy information --> IP/Port.
However, it doesn't allow me to store my credentials. This is where the problem lies
