SSH ConnectBot Samsung Galaxy S3 not connecting

interested to hear an answer on this

connectBot works fine with mobile data.

I never had any issues with ConnectBot. I do however prefer BTEP.

Having the same problem with my htc inspire 4g. I have also tried using the hotspot with my laptop and I am unable to ssh using putty there too. Everything works fine when on my home wi-fi though. It definitely seems they are blocking port 22.

Just tried another machine running on a non-standard ssh port and that too can not be connected to either.

Support is absolutely awful too!! Contacted them a few minutes ago and went round and round with some woman there that wouldnt read what i told her and then ends up disconnecting me after making me wait a few minutes for a manager. I am about to drop all 3 phones I have with at&t and go back to verizon if this is how they support their customers. At least with verizon i had better signal coverage.

You: internet port tcp 22

Deborah Clark: Where is this port in the phone or the computer?

You: its an internet port... its not on the phone or computer!

perhaps firewall is blocking it?

Deborah Clark: All I can do if send you a link on how to connect to the hotspot, I unfortunately have nothing I can do with an internet port, I am sorry.

You: fine send me up the chain to next level up

someone who deals with internet

Deborah Clark: We do not deal with your home internet, you will need to contact them.

I am very sorry, I cannot assist with this issue, Mr. ****.

Deborah Clark: Yes Mr. Bage, okay then this is all we can do , I have no information on internet ports, I am very sorry.

This is a question for your internet provider.

You: yes it is... at&t is my internet provider through my telephone!!

Deborah Clark: I am with AT&T wireless, I do not have any access to your home AT&T, they can be reached at 1 800 288 2020.

You: i am not at home and i do not have a problem with my home internet!!

this is internet through my PHONE

Deborah Clark: Mr. Bage if you can set up your hotspot on the phone, that is really all I have instructions on. As for these ports, this is an wired internet issue, not wireless, I am very sorry.

You: its obvious that you cant help me

however this is wireless as it is internet through my phone

Deborah Clark: No I am very sorry, I cannot.

You: not wired as it is connect though the mobile broadband

therefore it is not wired, its wireless through at&t wireless

that is why i am here

not over at uverse support

like i said its obvious that you can not help me so send me on up the chain to next level of support for at&t

wireless service

i understand you may not know what I am referring to, thats not your fault however if you read what i typed

you will see that this is a wireless internet problem

Deborah Clark: Mr. ****, I am very sorry, if you are connected to me via the hotpsot then we know it works,'

I do not have any information on port 22 is blocked, nor any firewalls you may or may not have set up. I am very sorry.

You: exactly basic internet over port 80 works... it has nothing to do with any firewall i have set up,

at&t runs a firewall too

please send up to next level of support

Deborah Clark: If AT&T is your home internet then you can reach them at 1 800 288 2020, my manger will not have any access to firewall information for them either.

You: really you going there again???

i dont have time to go round and round with you over the same thing

so please send up to next level of support

Deborah Clark: I understand I need a few minute to get a manager.
