Android proxy on Nexus One

I've got Nexus One for testing purposes.

That is a fantastic device.


The main thing is that device successfully uses APN proxy settings for outgoing Browser requests.

It has firmware 2.1-update1. May be "update1" is a key factor, but may be only emulators have the proxy problem, but real devices not?

Android 2.1 APN continuation...

I've tried to use TelephonyProvider.apk from Android 1.6 on Android 2.x in order to get using the proxy by browser.

Result is failed.

Google Chrome 4.0

Google has updated Chrome Browser under Windows to version 4.0.249.78 (36714).

It has extensions and synchronization of bookmarks.

Android 2.1 APN continuation...

Today I tested the next case.
Android Emulator 2.1 + Browser 1.6.

I've got the predictable result.
The old version of Android Browser also doesn't work with proxy on platform 2.1.

That is interesting, but ...

I suppose that the problem is in the telephony provider which can be used by Browser.

Android 2.1 APN

Android 2.1 release also has the same issue as previously reported at http://uhanov.blogspot.com/2009/12/android-20.html

See also the Android bugtracker issue.

We do not have the official Google comments yet.

Android Web Browser

Today I was surprised by the next news: Android web browser doesn't support queries by ftp protocol.

Instead of that Browser interprets a typed address as query string and send it to Google.
