I use the net a lot. I am so addicted to it that i try and stay connected to the net all the time. These days i have found one more addiction and thats Twitter. It’s a micro blogging site where millions spend time just editing a single line(”what you are currently doing?”) in 140 characters or less. I try and tweet whenever i can, from home, college or even when out with friends. Twitter being so popular has many J2ME clients that are for cellphones. Not only twitter but there are many applications for mobile made on the platform of J2ME that use GPRS to access the mobile web.

I have a Nokia 7310 supernova, it uses the Nokia Series 40 user interface. The problem with this is that many applications that try and access the net get a error “java.io.IOException: Error in HTTP operation”. The problem is not with our code nor the Nokia handset problem. The problem is with the GPRS.

Proxy settings for NOP for S40v3, S40v5 phones as we all know, Nokia doesn’t allow one to specify a proxy for an Access Point in Series 40 v2 and v3 and v5 phones (6131, 6133, 3110c, 5300, 5200, 5310, 6500, 6070, 6020, 7310) etc.

Nokia has removed the ability to specify a proxy server associated with an access point. Therefore, those who use JAVA programs that require internet access (such as Opera Mini, Google Maps,GTalk, Orkut, Twitter…) can not get it to work and they get “java.io.IOException: Error in HTTP operation” when trying to access the web via application.

The solution to this is :
Download Nokia S40 proxy settings for JAVA applications ZIP file.
link is : http://www.box.net/shared/s1cd0vp329
Description of included files:NokiaJAVAProxy.wml: The wml file that you can edit if you need/want different proxy settings.
NokiaJAVAProxy.prov: The actual binary wbxml provisioning file that should be sent to your phone (via bluetooth or usb). This can NOT be manually edited.

Process To Follow…
1: Push the “NokiaJAVAProxy.prov” file to your mobile using Bluetooth or infrared(Only for 40S series but u can send through any mobile which is having Bluetooth or infrared). Option only do not copy paste to your phone (”object push”, not file transfer). If your are unable to do it, just transfer it to any bluetooth or infrared supported mobile and send that file via bluetooth or infrared to your mobile.

2: The phone will recognize the configuration settings, and will prompt you to save them. Don’t worry if it says “no supported applications” We have to Click ok. The setting is saved in your configuration..

3: Go to Settings->Configuration->Default Config. Settings, and change the default config to [the name of the configuration we just loaded].That’s it! JAVA midlets like Opera Mini, Google Maps, MGMaps, etc… should work now.
