[Fix] Streaming Problems in 3rd Party Music Apps - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

Not sure if this has been discussed here or not but I am just carrying this over from past experience with the OG Evo when i had problems with streaming music on Tunee music using 3g so if anyone cares here's the fix.
***This only works on Sense Based Roms***
1. Open the dialer app and type ##3282#
2. Choose Edit Mode
3. Enter your MSL # (If you don't know it you can download the MSL reader app in the Play Store - you must be rooted to use this app)
4. Choose Advanced
5. Scroll down to RTSP/HTTP Setting select it
6. Then change HTTP proxy IP to 0.0.0.0 and HTTP proxy port to 0
7. Then exit and reboot
Now you should be able to stream music using 3g on music apps and such better.
This may help you or it may do nothing for you but I have to do this in order to stream music in Tunee music and Im sure some other apps out there.
Some people have said this also "Slightly" increased data speeds but take that with a grain of salt
Note - This will revert back once you flash a new rom
***Although almost impossible Im not responsible if you damage your phone in any way by doing this***

I see the option but when I click on it, nothing happens. the setting doesn't open up for me to make the change. Running "STOCK WITH GOODIES 1.75" rom. Anyone else not able to access the setting?

Thanks for the info however this did not work for Pandora. If I'm 3G it will not load a song. It says loading or buffering 1% then skips to the next song. Pandora works flawlessly on my WiFi.

You have to change both the rtsp and http for it to work.

This is what I changed
Then change HTTP proxy IP to 0.0.0.0 and HTTP proxy port to 0
My Settings looked exactly like your picture above

On the original we changed everything in there to 0

Alright so whats the verdict. Does everything get changed to "0" or is it just the HTTP fields?

Everything.

Not taking credit for this find since I used it on my Old Photon but I went ahead and added "persist.ril.uart.flowctrl=10" to the end of my build prop to see if it made a difference... might just be me but my speeds went up around 200-300kb/s

I found out that you have to hit the back button and then select Menu - Commit Changes, for anything to take effect. You cant just - 7. Then exit and reboot

This is what mine looks like and it still doesn't work.. I still get the "Loading" or "Buffering @ 1%" then it just skips the songs. I have rebooted as well. Is there a step I'm Missing?

No, that is right. I wish I knew something else besides that, clear cache and reboot.

Thanks for the 2nd option.
I am Stock so by "clear cache" I assume you mean the App Data for Pandora. I did that and rebooted then tried it out and still nothing. I have email Pandora about it and this was the response that I got:
Thanks for writing, sorry about the trouble. We're aware that recent Android OS updates have resulted in our app not working on certain devices. We're working with Sprint on this issue.
Thanks so much for your patience in the meantime.
Best,

PANDORA® internet radio

Did this and I think my data speeds got worse. New Spotify radio would barely play. It would play 2 or 3 seconds then skip, 2-3 seconds, skip. The old version of Pandora worked flawlessly though.
Sigh.

I remember when an OTA broke streaming music on the original evo. Took forever for Sprint to officially fix it. Every since that happened I always remove sprint's proxy from my phone. It helps the speeds a little but because Sprint runs there 3G on netzero streaming music doesn't work so hot unless it's 4 in the morning. I use to stream Rhapsody on HQ music over wimax although it worked well the signal would cut in and out 100 times on a 15 commute. So what I do now is use slacker and cache for offline playback. The stupid part about that is that even when going into cached content it still has to connect to download album art sometimes that can take forever to load. I'm just hoping LTE rollout doesn't look like swiss cheese like wimax was.

That's because sprint is too busy trying to stem the bleeding. Of they aren't losing subscribers they are burning away money like its going out of style smh

Deleting RTSP/HTTP proxy = can't download from market.

Since I apparently don't have enough posts to reply to this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1140870
I'll start a new one here.
Once I deleted the proxies I was no longer able to update or download new apps from the market. As soon as I put the original settings back I was immediately able to use the market again. Does anyone else get the same behavior after changing those settings?
My market is working fine.
Nope, my market still works fine. Can't see any increase in speeds though
My market is fine with everything zeroed out.
Sent via Evo 3D...mmmmm dual core.
I was having problems watching youtube so I just restored the old settings. Didn't notice much improvement with it on anyway
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
Ya, exact same problem. Can't access market now.
Any idea why? And why for only some of us??
The market and everything else is still working for me. I didn't get too much of a speed increase from it though.
Sounds like it is location-based. Does this mean that with everything zeroed out, you may or may not be able to access the market depending on where you are sitting at the time? If that's the case, I'm going back to defaults!
I just tried it. Got "A network error has occurred". Hit retry about 4 times and it just started working. Seems flaky with the proxy. Either that or it needed 30 seconds or so to obtain an IP address after I disabled WiFi.

same here.
I was able to fix mine by putting 0.0.0.0.0 as the proxy address and 0 for the port number for both proxies.
When I was having trouble with youtube I had all fields blank.
I've gone from ~600kbps to ~1100kbps download speed. Also my ping has improved significantly. Before it was anywhere between 300 and 1000ms, now it's a steady 200ms

Lols, I did what someone else suggested---when the market failed, I hit "retry" as fast as I could--probably bout 25-25 times. All of a sudden it worked. And now it works every time.
Talk about an easy fix
Works perfect for me

[Q] Youtube refuses to play on 3g but fine on wifi

I have the strangest problem and I hope it is not just me. Youtube just flat out refuses to play over sprints 3g network on this phone. At first I thought it was just the youtube app but when I tried it through the browser using flash same thing. Even tried it using the html5 beta but no dice. Is youtube being blocked for rooted users? I am currently on the latest release of meanrom (but have tried other roms)

I'm had this same problem on my og evo. The way I got it to work was by getting my msl, dial ##data#, edit, enter msl code. Advanced, set rtsp and whatever the other server is to 0.0.0.0 and port to 0. Be sure to write down the current values in case it doesn't work.
After that all my streaming media worked. Haven't had to touch this new evo.

I tried that but still no dice... Ill give it another try.. Watch it work this time
AND OF COURSE NOW IT WORKS...figures.... seems like removing those 2 useless proxies did the trick

My wife's og evo never had the problem and mine did. It's funny how the default values work on one phone and not another. Eh, who knows.

Pandora not loading

Hello all, not sure if any of you have had a similar problem playing pandora over 3g. I load the app, it connects to my account, finds a song to play but gets stuck trying to load it. It just says loading, and after about 20 seconds it'll forget about the song and try to play the next one and the cycle repeats. I tried over wifi and it worked fine.
Things I tried already after googling this problem: Cleared the apps data, uninstalled and reinstalled the app, tried the streaming media fix to bypass sprint proxies, and tried another rom for the hell of it.
I do not have a data limit in place as I have unlimited data. Roaming is enabled, and it has full bars and says connected using 3g.
Does anyone have any ideas I could try? I really like listening to pandora on my way into work.
Yeah it's been a problem for lots of folks.
To resolve it for my self go into,
Settings, mobile networks, Network mode, and select CDMA only.
You are most likely set to CDMA/LTE as that is what the phone goes to after a PRL/profile update. Well at least for me it does.
I've tried the newest Pandora app and a bunch of older ones and it would still do the buffer thing until I changed my settings.
Hope that helps,
Naters

Yes I was on CDMA/LTE, switched it back and so far at least it seems to work! Thanks man!
Edit, worked for a couple minutes and now its back to doing the same thing :/ Thanks for the input though.
1.5.1 based is the only one working for me

Cannot play youtube video on Sprint 3G/4G?

I just noticed this strange problem... I can still play youtube video via wifi but once on sprint network, any youtube video won't load , nor start to play!
Anyone else had or fixed this issue? Mine is with rooted stock build 4.5.1A-1_SUN-196, (btw, the phone failed to install the latest update through "update motorola software"), youtube is up to date.
If you are rooted I would recommend restoring to the last good state and make sure that youtube works. I have not heard of any youtube problems with the update. I would assume it is a bad install. Restore... wilpe cache and developed cache and install again.

Poor speeds? Do a speed test. Even on 4g sometimes I would get just 300kbps. 3g was like 80. Check that before you start exploring permissions etc
P.s. I am no longer with sprint because of this. And my wife who still is cannot even use Pandora.

Thanks guys. I kinda fixed it. Had to remove that sprint HTTPPD Proxy. Once done it, video can be played on 3g and 4g.
So it's not youtube version problem - it was fine with wifi but only had the problem with sprint network. Youtube video simply couldn't load up and was stuck in loading. Same result as testing with sprint TV, but some other videos (ie, in Pulse news) were not blocked.
I found a similar post with the HTTPPD Proxy removal that fix it, too:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19056982
I did remove that HTTPPD sometime ago following a post about speed improvement. I didn't notice much difference at that time so I had changed it back to default.
That programing code doesn't work for me, I'm on cm7.

Does YouTube suck for anyone else?

This is just frustrating. Even with a strong wi-fi signal (2 feet from router) it's buffering every two seconds. I can't even pause it and let it build up.
I tried clearing the cache and even the app date but that didn't work.
Attempting to watch YouTube on browsers (Firefox and Dolphin) don't work either, it crashes the browsers every time.
The only way I can watch YouTube really is via remote desktop to my Windows 7 machine.
Anyone else facing this issue?
I dokn't have that issue 20-30 feet away. If I ever had that, I reset my router and discover it was my router's fault.
The one annoying thing is trying to use YT with the keyboard and having to back out to the initial main screen to type in the search field...

Ya man i find that i have to be getting atleast 8mb down for youtube to play without buffering. Which isnt good considering the WiFi problems. I also hate how it has to reload the video if you leave the app!

I can watch anything on my HTC Sensation (custom JB ROM) no problem from the same spot. But on the TF201, it's just b*ll****. So it's not the router. I can't figure out the problem.
Do you have Bluetooth on? As in have a Bluetooth device paired?

Nope, never have bt on.
I figure out a way to watch now. It's using Firefox and switching the user agent to "iPad". :/
?
You shouldn't have to do that.. I've never had any problems using youtube. Are you on a custom rom or kernel and what one are u using?

It's working fine for me now. I guess JB with a factory reset did the trick.
My guess is that it's probably a hardware problem. ASUS has never been a symbol of consistency with their products :S

I am using the YouTube app , no problem for me..
Here is running just great.. No problem at all!!!
It's perfect for me, just like on my desktop. Some update must have fixed it.
And I don't use the YouTube app, I disabled that, I just use it on Firefox like I normally would.
