Facing problem setting proxy address. STR:

  1. Connect to any wifi without setting any proxy address
  2. Open connection -> Go to Advanced Options -> Set Manual Proxy.
  3. Go back to Wifi Listing screen.
  4. Again select the same wifi as previous and check if the proxy address you set is still there.
  5. Proxy IP and port gets empty.

 

How to set proxy then?

  1. Forget the previously connected wifi.
  2. Then reconnect by first enterig password 
  3. Without pressing 'connect' button, go to advanced option and configure the proxy
  4. Then come back and press the connect button.

100% reproducible
