MY wife and I received 2 new galaxy S4 non rooted right now. Both phones can download torrents but when I try and start the torrent on either phone using utorrent. It looks like its opens but when I check the app nothing is started. Same on computer as well. And a similar problem trying to download anything from my rss reader on both phones as well. I press the download button but nothing i downloading on my phone. It doesn't even try and start. I checked over the setting multiple times but I'm stumped.

Wrong. I could do it over ATT LTE just fine. And again my brother has my old phone and he is still able to
start torrents and download from a music RSS all over LTE. If someone has A S4 with utorrent remote are you getting the same issue
over LTE with ATT.

I'm really not sure what to tell you other than maybe rename uninstall/reinstall the app, then change your computer name in uTorrent Remote preferences, on the computer.

With it working just fine on my tablet. I don't think its anything on the pc end. I'll just have to call att and have them verify my connection.

Well if you connect to wifi, the att connection is bypassed... I wouldn't rule out it being a ROM issue blocking it? It's just rooted stock?

No, as I said its Unrooted. And on wifi or lte it doesn't work. I would think its my phone. But its doing the same on my wifes.

And you both have an S4 probably using the same s/w version... Possibly the AT&T software is blocking it. Someone else running stock will have to chime in on whether or not theirs works.

You got it... Nice and easy the way it should be. Hopefully one day USB tethering gets incorporated into this app.
Just hangs for me at 'start tethering' screen.. I have root and I gave it SU access when it asked..

hmm... Interesting Cause I was just able to play WoW while tethering and was able to watch a youtube video full screen hd even though had to give it time to buffer some
-pre4 is working great for me! You need root, but once the app loads, tap the middle of the wireless symbol (you should get an SU prompt) and connected my computer. Posting this from my netbook tethered to my Vibrant with this app.
Hmm... disabling tethering gives me a screen with on and off icons and a message saying that the phone's state is unknown and I should try rebooting. It's working fine though, I connected back up to the wifi network here and all is well.

Yep, pre4.
Pre5 works for me. Can stop and restart tethering without having to restart.

This us what I'm seeing on pre 5. I found that when it says phone state unknown with the on and off icons that tethering is still active as the ap still shows up in my wifi network list.

I take it you'd need to root first before using this app? Wasn't sure since you don't have to root with pdaNet.

We have three Vibrants and the app worked fine on two of them. However, my wife's phone would lock up when trying to start tethering. We also noticed her phone was generally slower than our other two Vibrants. We returned the phone yesterday and exchanged it, but I haven't tried tethering with the new one. My wife wants to use it for a while without rooting it.

Uninstalling and re-installing makes it work for me now (still using pre4)
Pre5 works fine for me, no difficulties experienced. Tethered to an iPod Touch using Wi-Fi
Nice this works great for me. I'm currently on Windows XP and a pc. Thanks.
Not working on mine. Followed the instructions in this thread and no luck. Tried 3 different ones and still notta. Can anyone help?

My wife's brand new S5 just stopped connecting to the internet. Mobile data and wifi are on and were working with no problem the day before yesterday. But now they have seemed to stop working. She has done a soft reset and forgotten our home network. She tells me that she cannot download anything from txt messages, surf the internet or even play her game that requires access to the internet. She is already frustrated after having to change from a Iphone 4s, so this is not helping any. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Do a factory reset. If after that the wifi and data still don't work, it might be time for a replacement. iPhones are defective too, just her luck that she gets the defective S5.

Ok. Is there a all encompassing backup for these phones, like itunes was for the iphone? Something computer based and not just cloud based?
Thank you Aooga.

Try Kies. You can get it from samsung's site, but nothing compares to the iPhone backup.

No problem.
She hasn't been able to text, make phone calls or use the internet on her phone and I have no idea what happened, she has a Sprint Samsung Galaxy S4 which she did not root so its all stock and touchwiz...
anybody having the same problem????
Does she have sprint as her carrier or is she using it on another network?

Call sprint
sent from nowhere
You could call her # and see how it answers. This # has been disconnected... or similar would be account/billing issue. If it just rings or goes to voicemail, then it's the phone, I guess. Try re-provision, or maybe go to settings, system updates and update PRL and Profile

Do you have the phone in your hand? If not, and this sounds especially silly, but have her check to make sure airplane mode is off.
Try texting and calling her from your phone.
As already suggested, have her update prl and profile (this will likely not work since you need some sort of functional network to update these)
Can she connect to wifi? If so, there are apps out there, such as "nag" that I would suggest installing and seeing what kind of network, if any at all, the phone is using. If she cannot, she may have a hardware failure.
Honestly, I'm just throwing things at the wall and hoping something sticks.

Is there anything in s4 that don't let VPN to work and get connected??
nope VPN's work OK for me, usually any trouble is down to the VPN's side of things. you didn't give enough info though.
has it never worked for you ?
what connection type are you using ?
what vpn app or site are you trying ?
have you tried others ? etc etc
Maybe from the app itself.
I tested SurfEasy, OpenVPN Connect with EasyOvpn plugin, and Opera Max and all of these apps are work correctly on Infernus ROM.
I previously tested RocketVPN and it failed to connect on GearCM 13.0.

maybe you could take some logs and send them off to the devs. leave a one star review and mention that it's not working at all after you have paid, they usually respond quickly to reviews that will damage business...

Does the same WiFi network work on other devices? If yes, you might want to try to factory reset or if that doesn't work a fresh install via Odin!

Err weird. So the problem lies within some part of the phone that is unaffected when resetting or reflashing (odin)... No idea really, sorry. Hopefully someone else has a solution!
it even effects the samsung brower on certain pages, but not all.
it hates google apps and trying to load the google app store webpage.
and yes i have cleared cache on google apps and deleted my google account
