Re: Proxy Settings

Hi. I'm having the exact same problem on my S3 after the latest update to 4.1.2. I followed the instruction to a "T" but the Save button is greyed out. Any ideas? Thanks!
same problem as both above - save button greyed outPtrust wrote:The same problem as shamoke: I have Samsung Galaxy S4 Android 4.2.2. When I choose in the proxy settings for the "Manual" option the save button will turn grey. I can't save the new settings.shamoke wrote:I found the settings, but whenever I set proxy settings to "Manual", the [Save] button turns grey. I can't click it even after I enter all the settings. I even forgot the network so it can connect freshly but then the [Connect] button turns grey. Is google, my carrier or my phone screwing with me?
amazing ... THIS worked! thankstsalagicelt wrote:I had the same problem as others have described. I have a Samsung Galaxy S4, the Sprint version (L720), running Jellybean 4.2.2..
Whenever I chose "Manual" for changing the proxy settings, as soon as I entered anything in the "Proxy host name" field, the "Save" button became grayed and wouldn't allow the changes to be saved. However, I fiddled with it a bit, until I accidentally found a solution. After putting 2020 in the "Proxy port" field, it occurred to me to change the value that I had already entered in the "Proxy host name" field. As soon as I placed my cursor back in that field, the "Save" button became white again, allowing a save operation. I experimented a bit more, and discovered that this form insists that the proxy port be specified before it will allow the proxy host name to be entered. If done in that order, it works like a charm.
Yes, Adblock Plus does block most ads that appear in other apps, but occasionally misses one. Had I a version on my Android that had as many capabilities as does the computer version, I would merely ascertain the origin of the ads that were missed, and make a rule that stops them. It's too bad that we don't have that capability with the Android version of Adblock Plus.
I also have noticed that since I got Adblock Plus running, I am experiencing a serious slow-down in programs' accessing of the Internet. They are timing-out now, quite a bit. I do hope that this is fixed. I realize that there would be at least a slight performance hit because of the use of a proxy. I didn't think it would be very noticeable, but it really is.

I found the solution for my problem. There is also a line where it says: SKIP PROXY FOR LOCALHOST and example.com and test.com. Its a bit greyish. I typed in that window: localhost. AFter that I could save the changes to my network.Istar wrote:I have a Samsung tab2 (android 4) and I get the msg: (waiting for traffic port 2020) all the time,. I changed the settings to localhost and 2020, I pressed the save button, but then I get the msg that it cant be saved to my network. Why? I have tried to type local host and localhost. Anyone knows a solution?

Same here, I'm using LG G2 and I tried all of your suggestions but nothing works. 'Save' is still gray.miti wrote:Hi,tsalagicelt wrote:I had the same problem as others have described. I have a Samsung Galaxy S4, the Sprint version (L720), running Jellybean 4.2.2..

Having the same problem, tried what you wrote, but it didn't work out for me.
(Did you mean filling out first the proxy port 2020 and then the proxy name?)
Any other suggestion?
Thanks
