Urgent update for Vodacom customers

fringsters,

Urgent news: It looks like Vodacom has changed the proxy on their internet access point so when browsing on your mobile handset all websites will have a Vodacom banner.

As a result, fring is not working properly on Vodacom handsets.

The solution is to take off the proxy settings in the access point and it should work again:

Tools > Settings > Connection > Access points > Vodacom > Options > Advanced Settings > Remove the Proxy server address.

After doing this, exit and everything should be working again. If it’s not working on your handset drop us a line and we will try and find the fix for your handset, or try a good old Google search.

3. I’ve tried the above - but my actual problem - Fring hangs (or takes foreeeever) when loading (HTC Touch) - remains. So it’s not that either. Why does fring run on other HTC Touch’es, and hangs when loading on mine?

   Another topic altogether, but since this is the SA Blog… Where can we get the latest ROM to flash the Touch with?
