I'm having an issue with torrent apps not working properly. I can't add new torrents at all, and I've tried Torrent Buddy and Torrent Remote. (I've also tried using ucontroller, but the setup instructions are unclear so I can't get it to work at all)
Both Torrent Buddy and Torrent Remote work in every way except for adding new torrents. They go through the motions but the torrents never actually get added. I can log in, view my torrents, change status, change file priority, etc with no issues whatsoever.
I've contacted the devs but so far haven't heard back. I think the issue is probably related to either my phone or maybe my network setup (though I can add torrents over the 'net via the utorrent web UI from a PC).
Until a few weeks ago I could add torrents with Torrent Buddy. I don't think I changed anything that might have stopped it working.
Any ideas? I've scoured my phone settings and can't find anything that looks relevant. There is plenty of free space on my phone. I've tried rebooting the phone.
Phone is Samsung Omnia 7 (now on new firmware, but I started having the issue on the original firmware).
EDIT: I should probably add that I am using the paid versions of these apps, not the free demos. I know that Torrent Buddy doesn't allow new torrents in the demo version.
What's unclear about the setup instuctions for uController? If you can open a port for external access to uTorrent, you can do the same for uController.
If you detail exactly where you feel the setup instructions are lacking, I might be able to improve them for you.
I have the same problem, but I think it lies with my private tracker blocking 'mobile' grabbing of torrents.
I see on my PC the 'cookie' for the site and it is very long and have tried adding to the 'cookie' window on my WP7 trophy without success.
Possibly the site can detect mobiles like they can with a hack attack?
tracker im using is galacticcentral.org

If that were to be the problem you would overcome it by using uController as the actual addition is handled PC-side using that app. Also has a live-tile which is nice.
I am looking at getting this as a replacement for my old laptop. However, I need to make sure it is capable of doing certain things that I do regularly.
1. I log into my server at home via my wifi connection to copy files from one directory to another (from downloads to tv shows for example).
2. I launch torrent files (legit ones like Pioneer One) for my server to download. at them moment, i click on a torrent file from isohunt or demonoid which sends it to my ubuntu server running transmission to download (fully automatic).
3. I keep checking out webpages like streetfire.net and todaysbigthing.com. Will the videos on these sites play?
4. Google Calendar is a key app I use. How is this with the transformer using the web rather than an app (if available)? I know Google Docs is a no go at the moment (hopefully fixing in 3.1?)
These are the main things (i guess i dont need a lot of power!) i do daily. Will the Transformer cope?

I'll let someone else tackle the rest, but this is one I do regularly. I use Transdroid, a free (but please donate!) Transmission remote to start and monitor torrents on my home server. I have a port open on my firewall for management so I can get the status of my torrents on my phone (nexus one) or Transformer via a desktop widget.
I also have Mediatomb running on the server to share out media from the directory that Transmission downloads to via DLNA. Unfortunately the Transformer has a lot of limitations on video it will play with the built-in DLNA client. When I get off my ass, I'll take advantage of the transcoder support in Mediatomb to automatically convert video files as they arrive in the folder.
Thats fairly key for me. Do you have to download the torrent to the TF first, or can you click the link in browser or firefox for it to automatically do its stuff? Thats how i do it at the moment with a firefox plugin.
1. Phone My PC app is all you'd ever need. Works very well.
4. Loads of apps for this, or yeah if you just want to use the built in honeycomb one or just the browser version they all work nicely. With HC 3.1 the customisable widget should be handy too.

ES File manager can shift files between shared folders, but one of the many different remote desktop solutions is probably easier

Transdroid will send the torrent to your server without an issue. you download the .torrent file, and open it in Transdroid. Very easy
3. I keep checking out webpages like streetfire.net and todaysbigthing.com. Will the videos on these sites play?
Can't get either of these sites to play videos
4. Google Calendar is a key app I use. How is this with the transformer using the web rather than an app (if available)? I know Google Docs is a no go at the moment (hopefully fixing in 3.1?)
The built in Gcal app is superb

Thanks for that guys! Really appreciate the quick replies.... but i guess little excuse needed to play right?
Can someone tell me if the site http://www.bestofyoutube.com/ works on the TF?
For Number 3, I tried streetfire.net and todaysbigthing.com. They both work great in the stock browser with Flash 10.3. Streetfire takes some time to load though.
Bestofyoutube also works on the TF.

Would love to help you out, however when connecting gamestream the PC asks for a password which is displayed on the device. Therefore it is not possible to simply give you access. It does work well on my connection though
I understand that your intentions may be pure, but this poses a large security risk.
I just want to make that clear, letting someone access your computer through their Shield can be potentially very dangerous.
Of course the user at the PC still has control, (just as much as the shield user) and you can turn your computer off if you had to.
A hacker could seize your system very quickly with a pre-formulated browser based attack.
It's just a very real heads up, play safe. :good:

Good advice..
I certainly wouldn't post my details on a public forum and I would make sure that there was nothing confidential on it and that it was isolated from the rest of my network (e.g. on a seperate vLAN) before I even considered it!

download onlive if you want to stream games....
I thought it might be helpful sharing my streaming experience so far.
From Home
I have a 60Mb download / 15Mb upload to the internet on TalkTalk UK and I live in Yorkshire.
Local streaming / Gamestream
2.4GHz channel bonded medium to good wireless connection - Pretty much perfect with only slight glitching on occasion.No lag
5GHz low to medium connection - Also pretty good, but dropouts and glitching more frequent. No lag
Onlive
Glitchy no matter what the connection, feels like around 20fps. Lag is noticeable, but fine for most games unless exceptionally quick reaction or immediate response is required.
Grid Beta
Smooth running, but lag is very poor. Feels like half a second passes between moving the controller and the game responding.
From Work
80Mb download / 20Mb upload. Good wireless N 2.4GHz connection to Draytek router. ~15 miles from home. BT Infinity.
Gamestream to home PC
Some issues with the firewall cutting the game off though resolved by adjusting settings on the router. Very, very good (better than local gamestream in most cases!)
Onlive and Grid Beta
Same as from home.
From my parents house
30Mb download / 6Mb upload. Reasonable Wireless N 2.4GHz connection. TalkTalk. 25 miles from home.
Gamestream to home PC
Very good. Few stutters here and there, but nothing I can't live with.
Onlive
Not yet tested
Grid Beta
Same issues with lag making everything unplayable.
Could i ask how you got the remote gamestream working, as i have yet to achieve it. I have even tried using a VPN to work from my PC at Home without success (using its VPN ip address and i can access files & folders).
Port forwarding and DMZ have both been used to no avail. Pity the shield has no connection event log.
The grid servers are in California so keep the ping in mind and that would be just as relevant as the Up/Down speeds.

I've got it working. It's smooth as silk for me, but I've got google fiber. Make sure your ISPs don't block ports 7 and 9; a lot do.

Well I checked my IP, theirs lots of Ports Open, 7 & 9 don't seem to be among them though. I'll double check to see if BT block any ports (annoying if they do) If i recall, isn't port 7&9 just for Wake on Lan?

yup, 9 is WOL, and 7 is for ICMP. I think an ICMP response is required. I'll try messing around with it and see if that's the case.

You could try downloading an AV program off of Google Play Store, but you may have to factory reset.
You are not infected, but your router is. DNS is changed, go into router settings and put manual DNS from Google

I work in a isp company and yes it's a router. zte and tplink routers have more or less widely open wan access, either from web, cwmp or SNMP, so merely changing web access pass does not help some script kiddie plays with range of IP addresses and you have adfoc site on every computer, phone, etc

What does working for a isp company have to do with anything ?
adfoc.us is nothing more than 'bundling' malware not a virus (to be technical a redirect virus) that highjacks DNS and hosts files on windows machines also adds other malware hence it's called 'bundling'.
Its real name is adfocus.us browser hijacker, it's distributed by hook
A Hook is programmed as DLL file that it is capable to block the message of solicitation to a desirable site and achieve redirection, then a cyber criminals may use Windows Socket Layer Service Provider associated with SPI to get user’s transmitting data no matter you are using Firefox, IE or Chrome
If you have a "wide open" type of router, you shouldn't be using a computer or phone period
Been removing rootkits, virus, malware off of windows machines for many years, don't need a isp worker to tell me it's a router
Well, ISP worker tells you, from first hand experience that some Chinese routers can be manipulated regardless of web password and DNS can be changed.
That means ISP worker has seen DNS changed from our DNS to some address in Germany. And wide open router is something most users know nothing about especially regarding cwmp protocol.
And we have reports from our customers that every network device opens adfoc.us it's not really rocket science is it ? And windows is crap we get that but I'm somewhat sure my version is the correct one, especially because adfoc.us tried to install some apk file (see original post) Not sure if apk files work with windows

Not really sure why are you so opposed to idea that ultra-cheap (10-15 euro) router can be hacked ?

http://rootatnasro.wordpress.com/20...-from-the-zynos-rom-0-attack-full-disclosure/
And I'm talking exactly about this (ZTE, and TPLINK). And you must know that almost all xDSL routers given to customers by large(r) ISPs have custom firmwares (because of ACS configurations, port mapping, etc) so the potential for unintended WAN access is huge. And the ISPs always will buy the cheapest and fastest available router, so it's not surprising at all.

I am not opposed to the idea, its not new, but, first of all, this article is just about a year old, and new firmware has been out since then, have the users switched to the new firmware, who knows, 98% of windows people are point & click, that is the biggest problem, especially using android.
Second, like I said earlier, and what the article says also, remote admin should be disabled and change the default username and password, here in the states, dsl kinda faded out 10 years ago and those routers you list aren't common here, not saying this can't happen, but, OTOH a little common sense goes a long way.
Javascript is a popular way to get infected from websites, running things as noscript, ghost, etc, should help out a lot, there is a lot you can do to prevent this stuff from happening, most people are clueless or lazy or click happy.
Another way to help is to get rid of windows (every operating system can be hacked) (flame) but others are more secure by design, or for banking needs use a live linux cd/usb stick, 99% of people won't bother or even research the idea.
I look at this as pebak, and not knowing enough of the internet or their equipment and just clicking on anything, hence the point & click.
I run a few servers, none are windows, we do have windows clients. I try my best

Possibly. Unless it is Android only malware or affects your computer differently. If you have any lesser known apps installed try removing them. I would honestly suggest a factory reset.

Hi,
Its definetely the wi-fi rooter that i have w hich is TP Link.
I called my proveder they said there is a problem with the DNS. They reset my rooter online and it was fine for couple of days.
But now same thing happens. On both my wife and mine mobile phones surfing is impossible.
It automatically swithches the link to a porn site. Same thing happens as a pop up on my PC as well.
Any solution to fix this or I should get a more expensive rooter?
Thanks a lot.

I would recommend the following:
1) Hard reset all your devices. Back up your data but then completely wipe the phone (/sdcard as well).
2) Disconnect your PCs. If you are savvy enough I would recommend running a Linux distro for a few days (so you can at least still use the computer).
3) Get a CD (not usb stick due to writableness) and download several AV tools (quick Google will yield some results). Take the PC offline (unplug ethernet/disable wifi), put the CD in, run a few scans and get it cleaned out.
4) Manually take your router and disable DHCP/DNS interally, forward your DHCP requests if you decide to keep DHCP on to a known good DNS server like 8.8.8.8.
5) Ideally, swap the router out for a new one or use your own instead of #4.
Something is causing it.

TWC TV App with VPN, Proxy, ADB, and HDMI checks removed. My main reason for modifying this app is so that you can watch all the channels when you're away from home. All you have to do is setup a VPN server on your home network and use your phone to connect to it. I won't go into detail on setting up a VPN or proxy, but you can either set one up on a dd-wrt router or a computer that is always.
Latest version can almost watch out of home channels on the cell network. See known issues.
Notes:
1. I only tested this app on my phone running 5.1.
2. I don't have an HDMI cable for my phone, so that functionality wasn't tested.
3. I'll continue to update this app as long as I have TWC. I'll post the new version on this thread.
4. My first time decompiling an app, so this is the best I could do for now.
5. Feel free to donate
Known Issues:
1. When watching an out of home channel on the cell network, an error is displayed on the video.
--Work around is to connect via vpn, proxy, or your wifi home network first. View the channel till it starts playing. Then disconnect from the home network and the stream continues to play. This is limiting if you're trying to channel surf, but only way I can get it to work at the moment.
Download:
TWC TV App 4.1.1.16 on Cell network

Donation Link
Hit the Thanks button if this works for you!
Thank you testing it out. Donated.
Seems to work fine, only watched briefly on LTE. Phone is galaxy s6, 5.1.1 stock.
My upload speeds aren't fast enough to work over the vpn, so I spent a little time on trying to figure out how to get it to work over the cell network. It has limitations but works. Uploaded if you want to give it a shot. It'll work for my needs for the most part.
What changes did you make for cell network version? Mine worked on LTE on your first release via VPN.
You can disconnect from VPN and use just lte after you decide to watch a channel. My upload speeds are slow over VPN, so video is choppy.
ok will test
Thank you so much! Installing now and will report back.
EDIT: It's leaving the TWC banner on the top of the screen when watching live tv -- can you hide that? The old version of the app didn't have it. It appears to squish the video feed and make everything look out of proportion. Also, I am having frequent buffering issues.

what device are you using? what connection are you using? I was having buffering issues with my vpn and it was because my upload speed wasn't fast enough ( around 300 KB/s up).
Hello,
I am using the FireTV over Ethernet. I am streaming over a LTE hotspot. It normally works fine. When I was having issues, I closed out of the app and went to Netflix,which was able to stream in HD. It could have been TWC itself but I just wanted to post here to see if others had similar issues. I was using the not home version and streaming HGTV which works without a VPN.
Seems ok so far. I'm going to give it a more definitive test at lunch from work. Only device that it isn't working on so far is my Nexus 5 running the Marshmallow preview 3, but the actual app doesn't work either (it just keeps spinning to load the channel on both the actual and modified app).
Really nice, thank you for the work and posting it.
2 things. 1, is it possible to alter the package ID of the cell version so they can be installed simultaneously? 2, can you post some details about what was changed internally to defeat the vpn, hdmi, etc checks to mske this work? The more people capable of doing the alteration, including me, the quicker we'll be able to respond to the inevitable TWC changes.
On request 2, I've been able to decompile the app and have found many, many references that look pertinent. But some pointers on where and what to look for would be helpful.

I was getting buffering issues when I was on the VPN. I'm pretty sure it had to do with the upload speeds of my TWC connection. As for the not home version, this one is for channels that you normally aren't able to view unless you use vpn or your home network. i believe hgtv is able to stream over cell services by default. Try something like NBC or any of the sports channels and you'll get an error video. Try the work around mentioned in the OP to get around that.
As for the FireTV, I don't have one to test it out any changes I make, so its not worth my time to look into it.

First of all, thanks a bunch - works like a charm. Tested both versions. Not sure why there is a need for 2 - the "not home" works on both, home wifi and external internet connection. Second, look here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GDQ0RMG/
best in the world streaming stick, and it's not even close. Especially if you have Prime. Wipes the floor with other in both, hardware and software

I was getting buffering issues when I was on the VPN. I'm pretty sure it had to do with the upload speeds of my TWC connection. As for the not home version, this one is for channels that you normally aren't able to view unless you use vpn or your home network. i believe hgtv is able to stream over cell services by default. Try something like NBC or any of the sports channels and you'll get an error video. Try the work around mentioned in the OP to get around that.
As for the FireTV, I don't have one to test it out any changes I make, so its not worth my time to look into it.

The regular version you posted does not work on the FireTV, as it says it does not detect a wireless or Cellular connection (FireTV uses ethernet) - this is the default functionality from TWC. Your "not home" version gets around it and fools the app and allows the app to launch when on ethernet.
I love this app and it was a pain looking everyday for updated versions thanks for taking the time

Thank you so much! Installing now and will report back.
EDIT: It's leaving the TWC banner on the top of the screen when watching live tv -- can you hide that? The old version of the app didn't have it. It appears to squish the video feed and make everything look out of proportion. Also, I am having frequent buffering issues.

Same issue - TWC banner
Fire TV
Ethernet
Home network
I'm unable to get VPN'd live TV working anymore, as of around 9/30/15. Seems like something is askew. Anyone else having trouble?
** edit: working again
I think TWC is having some issues on their end because I am having issues on twctv.com too on my laptop without any VPN needed.
