Hi Guys,

I am building an app to share files and photos.  
Everything goes well in wifi network.  
However, lots of apis doesn’t work in 4g network.  
4g network I am using is China Mobile LTE network.  
pubsub, swarm, and even get/add file doesn’t work.

So the question here is does it support 4g network?  
And what kind of network does it support usually?

Thanks,  
Roger

Resolved.The 0.5.0-dev version cannot penetrate 4G, so it needs to be downgraded to 0.4.23 release

This is pretty unexpected - can you tell us why you think that 0.5.0-dev doesn’t work on 4G? We’d like to try to reproduce your conditions in our tests!
