Comment:

 Dinu - on a non-rooted device, you need to take additional steps for Tor
 proxying to work.

 If you are on a 3G network, you can set your Proxy settings within the
 mobile network APN configuration. Point it to localhost:8118 (Orbot's
 built in HTTP proxy).

 You can also download Firefox for Android, and install the "Proxy Mobile"
 add-on within Firefox. This will configure Firefox to point to the Orbot
 proxy.

 Otherwise, you can also try download the text-only browser "NDBrowser"
 from within the Market.

 If you want the full power of Orbot, then you should root and flash your
 device with the latest CyanogenMOD firmware:
