Windows Phones 8.1 - Proxy bypass for local adresses

Hi,
when using wifi on wp8.1, you can use a proxy for internet Access in your corporate lan. Is there any possibilty to bypass this proxy for local adresses, that you can acess also intranet?
Thank's a lot.

JRE proxy bypass for local addresses always bypasses proxy

Hi all,
I'm currently dealing with an issue with the proxy configuration in java.
Situation: I need a proxy server to connect to the internet, and I have some addresses configured in Internet Explorer that bypass the proxy.
example of the way I configured it : *.google.com;212.115.*;62.69.179.198
The address that I am trying to reach is not in the bypass list, or in any of the excluded ranges in the bypass list.
Initially I had java configured using browser settings. I thought it did not pick up the browser settings at all.
However after configuring the proxy manually in java it was still not working.
During the research I came to the conclusion that as soon as I enable the "bypass proxy server for local addresses" in Internet Explorer, or manually in java.
The JRE client automatically bypasses the proxy and is always using "proxy=direct" . As soon as I disable that feature it starts using the proxy server.
I have no idea why this is happening ?

Your message was an eye opener for me. Thanks!
You were right, that option shouldn't be enabled. During testing I got confused and was told that option needed to be enabled to enable the exception list.
But that was a stupid assumption.
I disabled the option bypass proxy for local addresses and just filled in the exception list and now it works again.

"do not use proxy server for local (intranet) addresses" IEM setting

Hi, i would like to find out where can i find the following setting in GPO which used be found in IEM.
"do not use proxy server for local (intranet) addresses" Enabled/Disabled
as currently im setting the IE proxy exception list via GPP, i don't see that option.

Hi,
As you notice that when we use GPP Internet Setting item to configure bypass proxy servers, there is no "do not use proxy server for local (intranet) addresses" option in GPP Internet
Setting item. However, as suggested by zanderol24’s reply, we can use bypass proxy server for local addresses option under
Proxy server to achieve the same function.

Bypassing proxy settings for IPv6-adresses.

My MacBook is currently connected both via IPv4 and IPv6, and I prefer using a squid-proxy when surfing. Alas, my proxy only supports IPv4.
In network preferences I can type in hosts to bypass proxy settings for, but I'd like to do this for every single IPv6 host. Any solutions?
Martin

The format should be comma-delimited, like:
<pre class=command>localhost, *.domain1.com, www.domain2.com</pre>
However, IIRC, Network Preferences is pretty tolerant - it'll accept most forms of input and will reformat it into something that makes sense to it.

Low-latency audio on Windows Phone 8 (hint: forget it for now...)

My business specializes in audio and music apps for the Windows ecosystem. For this new project that I’m considering (a virtual instrument of sorts), I need to achieve the lowest possible audio latency from capture to render.
A measured latency below 3 ms would be ideal, 20 ms would be ok, and anything above 30 ms would be a deal breaker. And just to be precise about my definition of latency, I’m strictly talking about “mic-to-speaker” latency (includes the processing in-between).
I’m not talking about “glass-to-speaker” latency, although this topic is also of interest to me.
I figured that I should be using WASAPI, as this is apparently the API that sits at the bottommost of the audio stack in WinRT / WinPRT. So I spent a couple of days re-familiarizing with C++ (happy to meet an old friend)
and I coded a prototype capturing, processing and rendering audio using WASAPI having in mind the goal of achieving the lowest possible latency. After trying and comparing various methods, workflows, threading mechanisms, buffer values and mix formats, the
best I could achieve using WASAPI on Windows Phone was ~140 ms of latency. This is using 3 ms buffers. And although the audio is glitch-free, I could have been using 30 ms buffers and it wouldn’t have made the slightest difference! The latency would still
be around 140 ms. As I found out, the API/driver is extremely defensive in protecting against audio starvation, so it adds quite a bit of buffering at both ends. This is very unfortunate, because it basically disqualifies real-time audio/musical
applications.
I’d love to be able to provide quality audio/musical apps for the platform (both Windows Phone and Windows 8), but right now, this latency issue is kind of a deal breaker.
I've been pointing out the importance of low latency audio to Microsoft for quite a while, and I know I'm not the only one, and I know a lot of people at Microsoft realize this is important. But in its execution,
it seems Microsoft constantly fails to deliver a truly low-latency audio stack. In the pre-XP days, I've had talks with the sysaudio devs about this, and I was told, "yeah, we're working on a new architecture that will come out after XP and
it will solve the latency problem for all audio and musical applications." Fast forward to mid-2010 (pre-Windows Phone 7), and I was still there pointing out the horrible latency figures one would get from the APIs that were about to ship. And
now that WASAPI is available on WP8 (our best hope yet for low-latency audio), I discover the overly defensive and buffer-happy architecture of WASAPI (even though one of its promises was precisely low-latency audio).
So, the question is…
Is Microsoft aware of this issue? If so, is Microsoft giving up and simply conceding the pro-audio territory to iOS? If not, I’d be glad to discuss this issue with an engineer at Microsoft. I’m serious about bringing audio apps
to the platform. I just need some assurance that Microsoft is taking action on its end, so that I can sync my development with the next product cycle.
Thanks in advance for any help, advice, or insights!

Any update on this issue? Is there a roadmap for a fix?
I ported a realtime sound analyzing application (requiring both audio input and output) to WinRT and was quite surprised at the high latency from WASAPI. I then searched around and posted some questions regarding this on various MS forums and got to the
following conclusions based on feedback from people including MVPs and MS employees:
A lot of those people are under the impression that WASAPI qualifies as a low-latency API.
Apparently WinRT apps are not supposed to have high CPU usage, and this is purposefully baked into the framework (minimal thread priority control, async/await everywhere which results in thread priority inversion, and other issues).
Why would anyone ever need high-priority threads? They must use a lot of CPU, right?
A lot of people think low-latency audio means high CPU usage. You can see where this is going when you look at the previous point.
Async/Await is being forced down to all levels, even though it should only be used at the UI level. What some people are actually now calling "old-school" multithreading is now being pushed out (lock, etc). Async/Await has horrible overhead and
results in thread priority inversion amongst other issues. For example, witness that there is no StorageFile.Read, just StorageFile.ReadAsync. Do some IO benchmarks with some of these async methods and you will see some horrible performance compared to desktop
file IO.
To get an understanding of what low latency audio means and why it is important, see this video. It compares the latency of Android to iOS using the exact same music app. Ever wondered
why there are no quality music apps for Android? Well now you know. And then realize that WinRT has
twice as much latency as Android.
And if anyone thinks this is a niche use case, consider that Apple created adds showcasing "musicians" playing their iPad "instruments". A use case that is essentially unavailable for WinRT apps. Why would Apple create
adds for a niche use case?
This should have been one of the high priority issues solved from the start in WinRT. MS solved this issue in Windows (desktop) long ago, with the ability to get insanely low latency there (0.3 ms in some stress tests,
see here), even beating out OSX. It is as if there is a new generation of architects at MS that know nothing about this previous work and are doomed to make the same mistakes over again. I really don't
understand why these pre-existing APIs can't be exposed in WinRT. No need to re-invent the wheel. But I guess it just isn't important enough.
I find this situation really sad since otherwise it could be a great and powerful platform.

How to know whether bypass proxy for local address is enabled in browser

Can anyone help me in finding out whether the check box "bypass proxy server for local address" in Internet explorer (Tools->Internet options->Connections->LAN Settings) is enabled from java plug in.
In my applet application if that checkbox is enabled then i have to throw a message saying that the checkbox is enabled.
Thanks in Advance

We have been in discussions with Microsoft over the last few days on this issue - which is seen with Outlook 2007 versions onwards. Extract from resolution communication from Microsoft:
The issue you have raised is known as it has been reported and when you have a proxy set in Internet Explorer and “Bypass proxy settings for local addresses”, Outlook will attempt to connect to Office 365 directly – like the bypass rule would apply.
Because the direct connection is blocked in the Firewall, Outlook needs to have the connections going in Timeout before attempting to connect using the Proxy.
Your network trace proves the issue.
Microsoft have scheduled a fix for Outlook 2010 in February 2014 cumulative update. A fix for Outlook 2013 will also follow, but Outlook 2007 will not be addressed because it is in Extended Support.
There are two possible workarounds for this behaviour:
First, and I wouldn’t recommend it, is to allow Direct traffic through the Firewall to Office 365.
The advantage of this approach is that it will be done centralized and it will impact everyone immediately.
Information about the O365 IP addresses
There are two downsides to this behaviour:
1. First you need to maintain the Firewall exceptions as IP from O365 server can change without notice
2. Second, winhttp traffic may go through both proxy and direct and this can cause unforeseen behaviour.
The second approach is to use a proxy pac instead of manually setting in the proxy and the exceptions.
The advantage is that you will have centralized method to control how winhttp traffic goes and the issue will not be experienced anymore.
If a single pac does not be fit, you can configure proxy pac files for each site requirements and use an IIS server to store it.

Bypass Proxy for Local Addresses

All-
With the new 2.0 software, I am now able to connect my 3G iPhone to the WiFi network at work. The network uses an authenticated proxy to get external access. I can access external sites just fine now, but I can't see internal sites. The proxy settings on my work desktop give me the option to "bypass proxy server for local addresses".
Is there any way to do this on an iPhone?
Right now I need to make a choice between access only internal sites or only external sites.
Thanks!

While not wanting to be a total weenie, ME TOO
After a bit of searching, the best we're going to be able to do right now is use a Proxy Auto-Config (.pac) file. I'm drawn to this conclusion from combining a lot of web searches with a peek at the "iPhone and iPod touch Enterprise Deployment Guide, Second Edition" (available at http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/Enterprise_DeploymentGuide.pdf, or via the Apple iPhone Enterprise support page at http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/enterprise/.
Setting the PAC file using the iPhone v2.x software is pretty direct - click the little arrow next to the network you want to configure, scroll down to the bottom where the proxy settings live. Choose "Auto" and enter the Auto-config URL.
That's the good news. The bad news is that I'm not entirely sure what that entails w.r.t. using one with the iPhone software. I'm not entirely clever enough to create such a file nor am I clever enough to know how to stick such a file onto my iPhone. I'm going to run this around my local team to see what they can come up with. If they come up with a solution (and it's simple enough for me to do AND explain), then I'll post a follow-up. Until then, good luck to you AND if you figure something out feel free to share with everyone else.

Bypass Proxy for Local Addresses - Office 365 connection/ Outlook 2010

This is a strange one. Connectivity to Office 365 within our netwotk works fine although very slow for outlook 2010 client to initially connect. Once connected, it works ok. I have done a netwotk trace using netmon to see if i can identify
the reason for the slow startup (2 mins minumum for profile to load and for outlook to connect to exchange). The trace tell me that my local pc tries to make a direct connection to the office365 external IPs first, then tries the TMG proxy. Once it hits the
proxy, it kicks into life and works.
So it looks to me like it thinks the external IP address of office 365 is an internal address and spends it time trying all the ip addresses until it trys the proxy. At this point, the
Bypass Proxy Server for Local Addresses is ticked.
As soon as i untick this box, all traffic heads directly to the proxy and of course it connects like lighting. The exchange settings proxy is set in outlook for "on fast networks, connect using HTTP first, then connect using TCP/IP" (tick
is on) and the same for slow networks.
I cant for the life of me work out why it tries to connect directly to the external IPs first and not connect via TMG until i untick the
Bypass Proxy Server for Local Addresses
Would love any ideas that may assist.

New Windows Phone user - what websites for finding...

I am wondering just how to go about learning Windows Phone 8. Thus looking for valuable website content. Would appreciate input.
Specific questions:
Where do I go to update ALL my apps at once?
My settings are displayed in UK English. How do I change to US English?
How do I see files and folders as I do on my Laptop with WIndows 7?
Thanks much, Pete
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Have a look at THIS
Normally the phone will show you if any updates are available. You will see a no. appearing in the 'store' tile n your home screen. The no. will depend on for how many applications an update is available.
Change language by giong to settings-->language+region ..and select appropriate under each field there-in.
You won't get to see Files / Folders the way you see them on your PC.

Fixed header working fine for desktop but not for windows phone

I have my website in asp.net with master page. I have used below css for header div of my website to make it fixed.
.header{
z-index: 3001;
position:fixed;
top:0px;left:0px;
background-color: white;
width:100%;height:150px;
This is working fine for desktop. But on mobile, I can only see my 50% of width of the header. On the right side of 50%, nothing is cmg. As in just white background is cmg. On the right side, I have a button which when I click is working. To say, controls are
not visible but they are working if u manage to click at the exact place. Any fix for this?
I want to add that this problem is coming only in windows phone. So need fix for that.

Hi User1508372,
The
Developing for Windows Phone forum is for developers to discuss writing Windows Phone apps, not for writing web sites targeting Windows Phone IE.
My guess here is that your site may be running into a compatibility mode or different versions of IE on desktop and on Windows Phone, but you don't provide enough information about which versions of IE you are using. Windows Phone 8 uses IE 10 (similar to
Windows 8).
The folks in the
Windows Phone IT Pro forums are likely to know more about the Windows Phone IE specifics, and the folks in the IE or ASP.Net forums will know more about how to target your HTML for different versions.

Is it possible to prevent Windows Phone 8 users downloading apps from the Store unless thay have been "approved" for installation?

We are currently migrating our mobile workforce from BB and iPad to Windows Phone 8 and will use Windows Intune to "manage" them. Is it possible to prevent these devices from being able to download / install apps that are NOT approved?
We would publish "approved" apps on the Company Portal where necessary
There will be no user-owned devices so there is no issue with rigid enforcement - we wish to stop games etc from being installed / propagated across the estate, which is a huge issue with the current devices
Thanks

This feature will be included with the Enterprise Feature pack (no I don't know when it will be released unfortunately)

Windows 8 / IE11 forget proxy settings applied by GPO on reboot

I've just about run out of ideas here on what may be causing this. I've toyed with policies quite often, but never ran into this problem before.
Windows 8 with IE11. While there are GPO's active on the system, the settings are kept free to alter by the user if need be. We use a proxy, so I'm required to provide the proxy and the exceptions in a policy to the PC's to make sure they work under normal
conditions. I added a couple of settings in the GPP (Group Policy Preferences) with the correct settings, enabled these settings (green lines) and tested these on a test system. They work fine, I get my proxy settings pushed through.
Then we get to the rollout on the systems that are affected (not that many, just 10 accounts total, all in nearby rooms). I can run a gpupdate /force to reload the settings, and can confirm the proxy settings are applied properly. So the policy itself seems
sound also on the workplaces it needs to be active on. Users still have the option to change the proxy settings on their own discretion, but that's exactly what we want to happen.
Now we run into the problem that when part of these PC's are rebooted, the PC somehow seems to decide the proxy isn't worth its time anymore, and kills all settings for the proxy back to default. Either that, or it just switches the proxy off. Running a
gpupdate /force reapplies the policy and everything starts working again, but WHY is Windows 8 / IE11 adament about forgetting these settings?
The really maddening thing is that on a couple of PC's with Windows 8 and IE11 (and the same policies applied) it isn't a problem and the proxy remains filled in, as I would expect from GPO's. These include my test system, which makes me unable to replicate
the problem and test locally.
I've tried enhancing the policy with using a forced wait for the network to become available) aswell as a forced logonscript run on boot instead the standard 'after 5 minutes'. Find these under 'Computer Configuration - Policy - Administrative Templates
- System - Logon' and 'Computer Configuration - Policy - Administrative Templates - System - Group Policy'. Neither setting seems to work tho. I've also tried going with a Computer Configuration Startup script in which I just request to run 'gpupdate' with
the '/force' as the switches. But this also seems not to do anything.
In short: Does anyone know why Windows 8 / IE11 falls back to something outside the scope of policies, while it accepts the forced policy update with the correct settings when 'gpupdate /force' is issued manually afterwards? And has anyone any idea what
I can do to make sure the policy is applied regardless of what Windows 8 / IE11 thinks it should be?

Just had a go with that... Found out that when I login and refresh the polciy using gpupdate /force, the proxy settings are filled in properly.
Once I reboot tho, the proxy switches itself off (the entries regarding the proxyname and such remain, as does the 'bypass for local addresses, but it's all grayed out). Once I switch the proxy back on, and check under 'Advanced', I find everything in order,
except for the exclusion list which is emptied.
So I forced the gpupdate, verified that the proxy was switched on, and the exclusion list was populated. I then restarted the PC, only to find that above situation (proxy switched off, and exclusionlist empty) had reasserted itself.
Waited a bit and did a forced policy update again. Then verified the logged files (which was just User.txt).
After anonymizing the output a bit, I copied the contents to
http://pastebin.com/YyWswW83 for your review. It looks like it contains 3 batches of GP updates.
The one at 13:20 is likely the primary one in which I forced the GPUpdate. The one at 13:22 is the one issued on the restart of the computer, while the one at 13:24 is the (once again) forced gpupdate.
From my understanding it seems as if the no-change of GPO detection works, but also causes it to skip the policy. Tho I admit that's speculation on my part. Any and all light you (or anyone else) may be able to shine on this, will be greatly appreciated.

How to get the device token in windows phone 8 sliverlight application?

Hi,
I am developing a windows phone 8 silverlight application . For my application I want to add push notification service , for this service I have to call one web service in my app . This api requires device token , device id ..etc , I am able to get the all
the things except devicetoken .
How to get the device token of a device ?
any help?
Thanks...
Suresh.M

Most probably device token is the push channel url which is returned by MPNS when a request is made to it.

Windows Phone 8 and Windows InTune

I just signed up for a 30-day Windows InTune trial account and I'm in the process of setting up mobile device management for Windows Phone 8 devices. After looking through the documentation, I just want to verify that
before I can even enroll any Windows Phone 8 devices for management in Windows InTune I need to...
1. Purchase a $99/yr subscription to establish a Company (not an Individual) account on the Windows Phone Dev Center (to get a Symantec Publishing ID)
2. Purchase a $299/yr subscription for a Symantec Enterprise Mobile Code Signing Certificate to obtain an enterprise mobile code-signing certificate using the Symantec Publishing ID from step #1
3. Download, sign the Company Portal App with the XapSignTool tool using the Symantec enterprise mobile code-signing certificate, and upload the app back into Windows InTune
Is this correct?
Regards,
JJ

An important update to this thread - as of November 2014, you can now enroll Windows Phone 8.1 devices for management in Windows Intune without having to purchase a Symantec certificate. For details, see
http://blogs.technet.com/b/microsoftintune/archive/2014/11/18/improvements-to-the-windows-phone-8-1-enrollment-process-for-intune.aspx
As of 4/2/2015, hybrid configurations still require a Symantec cert to enroll a phone, but you can get the Company Portal app for WinPhone in the Store and you can send deep links and web links to hybrid phones via that portal. The ability to enroll WinPhone
8.1 in hybrid without a cert is in the works. Stay tuned to the Intune blog for the announcement when that comes. Or you can ping me by replying to this thread, and ask me if certless hybrid is available yet.
