For some reason Pandora has just stopped working when I'm on my 3G connection.
It will sit there and say "Buffering 1%" or "Loading" then just keep skipping to a different song. The application worked fine yesterday, and I can still use it on WiFi with out a problem. I'm on Sprint with the unlimited data plan so I know that cannot be it.
I don't mean to sound like a smartass, but did you restart your phone? If that fails to work, I would clear its application Data and reopen it. If that still doesn't work, try uninstalling the app and re-installing it from Google Play.
Also, ensure that your mobile broadband is enabled under settings. Good luck.

I usually can't stream Pandora when I'm on the Now Network either, but that's because it's too slow. Maybe Sprint's network is taking a siesta today and it will work better for you tomorrow.

YOU CAN'T DO ANYTHING ON THE SPRINT NETWORK. lmao! go get AT&T... at least their 3G actually works. hahhahaa. or get verizon since their 4G is the best in the country. 50+M down. 12+M up. other than that. restart your phone. there is a know software issue with our phones.. maybe it'll get fixed on the next update. PROVEN SOFTWARE ISSUE FOR ANY SMARTASSES.

That IS the problem. You can't stream music with Sprint's dial-up speeds. Download the Speedtest.net app, and run it a couple of times. If you aren't getting at least 300kbps, which you probably won't with Sprint, then you won't be able to stream music.
Download the SpeedTest app from Google Play. See what kind of up and down speeds you get. Pandora requiere atleast 150Kbps constant to work.

I know I don't have the same phone, but its worth pointing out that I'm seeing this exact same problem with my Epic 4G running CM9 RC1... Pandora won't play anymore from either 3G or 4G sprint... Works just fine from wifi though... Won't play from pandora's flash player in the browser either... I'm actually starting to think that Sprint has decided to filter some traffic off their network, and Pandora is one of the lucky winners. Please tell me I'm wrong... :/

No, Sprint's data network just plain sucks, and has for 2 years. I haven't gotten above 150kbps in over 2 years.
I've run speed tests. I get more than enough data for the high quality stream (192kbps). Attached is the photo of the tests.
Still looking for a solution.

Same issue
Just wanted to say that I have the same issue.
I recently used closeone's HBOOT Downgrade toolkit to take my Sprint EVO 3D from HBOOT 1.50 to 1.40. I then used freeza's firmware update to update to 2.17. I was running mikeyxda's ICS MeanRom, and everything seemed to be working until I tried out Pandora. When I select a station, it gives me the "Buffering 1%" message, then says "Loading", and sometimes it will say "Buffering 2%", but it hardly gets past that. This is only on 3G. 4G and wi-fi work fine.
This guy seems to be having the issue as well.

Wow, so the only thing I can add here is: My wife's EVO 3D (S-ON, flashed to OMJ's ROM) actually streams Pandora quite well on 1XRTT. That's right - not 3G but 1X. Turns out a glitchy radio keeps things away from 3G yet the tunes flow half decent.
Same issue here too. It has worked fine for me up until 2 days ago. And I would listen to it everyday to and from work.
I have a rooted HTC EVO 4G LTE still running the stock rom.
I can stream fine over wifi and I can surf just fine. The only thing that I can tell has changed is pandora just sits at loading indefinitely.
Fixed. This is an issue with the pandora client. The fix is to roll back to an older version. 1.5.13 worked for me.

My fiance listens to xm and pandora all day while working and he has noticed his 3g cutting in and out for the past couple of days.
It happens randomly sometimes for a few seconds to a few mins. The phone stays in the same spot and earlier in the week it had no problems. To temporally fix it he either unlocks the phone or has to reopen xm or pandora. He does have it connected to a charger while listening.
We both run kaos v39 with the newest radio and open gls. The only thing i remember doing was i downloaded a program called green battery but uninstalled it after a min.
I also switched from gsm to cdma prl on both phones
My phone seems to be fine but then again i dont listen to pandora and xm a lot.
Is there a different setting i can change or something. Thank u for any help.

Try this: Install a market app called "APN OnOff". Launch it. Choose "Show APN list". Press Menu and then "Reset to default". Reboot the phone and see if that helps.
He said even with that it still does it. Is there anything else i can try?

I've been experiencing something similar the last few days. It will start on 3G, then for a few seconds it will switch to 1X, and then switch back. It hasn't really affected my daily activities, but I definitely notice it.
EDIT: In addition to 3G abnormally going in and out, my signal has been unusually low as well.
I occasionally get the 3G to 1X. I just end up rebooting my phone and all is well but I don't think just doing that is a permanent fix.
Btw running CELB 4.3 if that helps

Add me to that list. I was previously (up until about a week ago) Tethering to my Netbook and streaming Netflix with No Problems, No choppiness, Full screen. Now I am lucky to be able to watch Netflix at all, small screen, or for that matter Load webpages in a reasonable amount of Time. Anyone Think they are Throttling the connections now that Iphones are coming Online to the Network and are trying to keep a handle on Traffic and perhaps avoid the same Issues ATT had with the Iphones, Dragging the Network to a screeching Halt. Anyway Contract is up in March and decided I will defect to Sprint or Tmobile. Never had issues with Tmobile in my area and may return to them on the G2 or the Mytouch 4G. Just my 2 Cents for what it is Worth.

Makes sense to me. It wouldn't surprise me if it's true. OTOH, several months ago I noticed severely decreased tethering experience and then out of the blue a month or so ago it started working much better for about a week. Now, though, it's back to the same old stuff. This was all with the same ROM and always with occasional reboots except when tethering never once gave out.
I'm basically always leaning slightly one way or another as to believing conspiracy theories or just chalking it up to things beyond anyone's control.
Ever since that data outage from 3 weeks ago, me and my wife's thunderbolts have had issues holding 3g/4g connections. The phones willswitch all the way from 4g to no data connection at all during various points in the day. I've tried the mr1 through mr2.5 radios and the issues haven't gone away. Talked to Verizon tech support multiple times and they said they've opened up a trouble ticket to see if its the network or our phones. We stay around Aurora and naperville which are full 4g areas but have had problems in multiple towns. So just wondering if anyone in the Chicago land area or the country for that matter is experiencing the same thing since that outage from a few weeks back.
For reference, I'm running cm7 with mr2 and mr2.5 on my wife's phone. But like I said I've tried different radios already.

Its been acting up since before I installed cm on our phones. They haven't been the same since the data outage. We've had cm for about a week or so and before that we were running mr1 and mr2 with basic root.

If the phone is fine no need to exchange it just get a new sim. I got thunderbolts for my gf and her brother yesterday and their 4g seemed perfectly stable as I was rooting them the only thing I noticed was it did take a little for 4g to kick in after toggling via lte onoff

3g runs fine. And all of naperville and Aurora are 4g. North Aurora is not as far as I know. And I thought about the sim being bad but I don't think that's very likely for 2 phonesphones

Hey rygel411, does this sound like your situation?
1) Boot phone up fresh full reboot
2) Phone grabs a 3g/4g signal instantly and holds it for several hours fine
3) Randomly when you power on the display, you are missing a 3g/4g icon but have full bars
4) Checking under Wireless Network settings, Mobile Networks is OFF and WON'T turn on
5) Reboot solves the problem or Wait approx 2-4 hours and it solves itself randomly without doing anything
Does this sound like your situation? No 3g/4g icons and no data connection, and unable to turn data back on without a reboot or waiting a long time? Cuz if so this is exactly what happens to me and I live in central NJ. I always get perfect 3G signal on all my phones, even in my house. And my data speeds are generally good; 1500-3000kbps on 3G.
I am running MR2 Das BAMF Gingerstripped with Imoseyon's 3.4.0 GB Kernel. It IS related to Gingerbread, as my girlfriends Thunderbolt running full stock does not see this issue at all.
Similar but not exactly, both phones were acting up before I had gingerbread on them

I am in the western suburbs (Oak Park, River Forest) and I don't have any issues at all along the I-88 corridor out to Route 59. That's about as far into Naperville as I drive. 4G the whole way, no dropped calls.

I'm on 2.5, not sure of it's radio related or their network because I had Zero problems before with this configuration.
I was on 2.5. Then I downloaded the cm7 update that dropped a couple of hours ago and I was getting horrendous speeds with it, barely 1mbps. So I downgraded to mr2 and now I'm back between 7 and 13. I'm thinking about downgrading to the froyo radio and installing the cm7 compatible version with it.

This is exactly my finding, just in New Jersey instead of Chicago. I would like to see explicit details on what exactly happens when you folks lose your data connection, and what happens when you try to toggle certain settings (ie - plane mode, mobile network, etc)
Especially one particular detail. When you lose your data connection, is there a 1x icon in the notification bar, or are there NO icons next to your signal. That will determine if we're having a connection problem to Verizon, or if our ROM's/Radio's are the culprit.

I have the same exact problem as the OP. I live in Wheaton, work in Carol Stream and go to Chicago every weekend because my girlfriend lives there. 4G and 3G CONSTANTLY go in and out when trying to use them. The 4G icon diappears and then reappears. It doesn't switch over to 3G or 1X. The icon just disappears, displays full bars for a second in grey, 4G icon comes back in grey with 1-2 bars in grey and then goes green after 10-20 seconds or so. It's so ****ing annoying.
I'm running the latest CM7 build with 0223r radio. I've tried MR2 and MR 2.5 and have no luck. It's driving me nuts. It's not CM7 either. I was running rooted stock and it was doing the same thing.
I was getting symptoms like it was shutting on and off. Mine works fine with no changes in the Tampa area.

mobile connection issues on HTC Thunderbolt
Hi,
Did anyone ever figure out connection issues with HTC Thunderbolt? I have the exact issue that DaRkL3AD3R discussed in July.
My Thunderbolt just started doing almost the identical thing as he posted. Can't get on internet unless I wait, boot, whatever - almost identical to what you stated. Connection seems to be connected but it is not. I am new to "messing" around with my phone but this cuased me to root and boot but still on the Gingerbread os. It is driving me batty! It started about Mar 25 or so and I thought booting would help. Do you know if it may be the radio and are there other versions I can try? Someone mentioned new PRI version? Thanks for any pointing in the right direction!
I have been having a weird issue with my 4G the last few days. I live in Oklahoma City which was a city that got 4G awhile ago it was running fine with no real problems until yesterday.

When i switch back to LTE xda app loads and speed test .net show correct 4G numbers. I have tried flashing a new ROM from cm7 1.2, Omfgb, synergy sense 3.0 nightlies plus chingys lastest ROM. Flashed radios 2mr 2.5mr and the lastest radio chingy put on root wiki. I wipe usally 3times between flashes and dalvik a few times. I was just wondering if anyone has had this trouble or maybe its something up with Oklahoma City since it just happened a few days ago. If anyone else has this problem or has fixed it please let me know.

If you're phone is rooted please try the set DNS app to change to the appropriate DNS and let us all know how it goes. Since my phone isn't rooted, I will wait it out a little longer just to see if Verizon fixes the DNS. However, I think we should all email/call/harass Verizon as much as possible. It's flat out unacceptable to the consumers who paid good money and locked in on a 2 year contract to get 4g. I could have taken my money elsewhere but Verizon has the fastest network, but if Verizon can't get their DNS server working then I'd rather take my money elsewhere.
I just grabbed set DNs and used Google dnsand my 4glte is now running fine. Good idea.

My 4g in DFW just went down. All I get right now is 3g... or 1X if I force lte in the bamf toolkit. Wonder if they are working on it?

Same here. I put it in LTE mode, and used the DNS fix, and half hour later, I don't get any 4G, and no data at all. 3G seems to work.
I decided to restore my default DNS settings back.
EDIT: Never mind its back up now.
All of a sudden I started getting this error the other day.. no idea what the issue is. Videos worked fine before on this phone and all my others before it. It stopped working on my one EVO LTE and then it just didnt work at all on my replacement. I don't buy that its a tower issue as other gingerbread phones in the household work.. any ideas? Anyone else experiencing this?
Sprint is starting to piss me off

I started to have the same issue since last week. I havent called sprint yet (as they are no help). The youtube app works fine when on a wifi connection, but as soon i get on 3G ...nothing. I also dont have 4G coverage in my area either (next spring).
I also got the same issue after I did the OTA update on EVO LTE.
YouTube app works fine over wifi connection but when using 3G it gives this error.

Mine works fine on 3g but on wifi I get the Connection to server lost. Tap to retry WTH it happens on both my phones
Hey everyone, my wife and I just got new M9's on sprint last Monday. Thought everything was going fine but then I noticed that whenever I was on LTE a lot bof my apps wouldn't work. I can watch Netflix and use tweetcaster, but a lot of other apps won't work(facebook,Pandora, and google now I can search but if i try voice recognition it says it can't connect to the server). Everything works fine on 3g and Wi-Fi. I have done speed tests of the LTE and they are always at least 7mbps down and 2 up. Have tried clearing data/cache and uninstall/reinstall of apps and still nothing. But it's not just my phone it's my wife this is happening on also. Any help would be appreciated cause I can't figure it out. Thanks everyone!
Try toggling airplane mode or mobile data on/off.
It sounds like the "data drop" issue some of us are having.
I am having the same problem i called sprint and they couldn't help at all i think is a phone defect

Try updating your profile or PRL , that's helped me in the past with data issues

I also have run into this issue, it happened with my evo LTE until I unlocked/rooted my phone and could install custom ROMs and now with my M9 , which is completely stock with just the OTA I only have one single bar and LTE constantly switches to 3G and I run into data transfer issues even when it says its connected.

Already tried updating the profile and prl. didnt help. i tried airplane mode and back on and i can now get facebook to load new stuff but no pictures or video will load. still have a better than average connection. im gonna try pandora to see if it works here soon. this is frustrating to have to do this. hopefully a fix can come soon.

Nevermind still doesn't work after airplane mode toggle I was wrong. Speed tests say I'm getting around 14mbps download speeds. This is super frustrating. I don't understand.works fine on Wi-Fi and pretty sure 3g too. Could it be the apps themselves? Cause it's just some. But they are major apps like Pandora and facebook. Should be ready for this.

I've had the exact same problem since day 1 with my phone two weeks ago. You probably also have the issue where you are typically only at 1 signal bar when on LTE but full bars when on 3g. I've also noticed it hits certain apps but not others. Usually toggling airplane mode and/or mobile data will fix it for me, but sometimes i have to completely reboot. even after the OTA update last week, the problem persisted. i brought my phone into a sprint store on sunday and they replicated the problem but had no idea the cause, so they swapped the phone out. same problem with the replacement, so i'd imagine we're stuck waiting for a software/radio/firmware update before this is resolved

Thank you for this. Feels good just to hear someone else describe my problems exactly. Wonder if it s all sprint m9 or just maybe ones people got early cause I got mine the Monday before release. Same on both my wife and my phone. I can't understand why some work and some don't. Now that you say it my LTE does most of the time just say one bar. And 3g is usually full. Hope a fix comes soon. Wish we could get conformation that ots a known issue. Facebook isn't a huge deal ask I can just use the mobile site but Pandora ducks to not have it.
Did yours come with headphones? The sprint site said no when we ordered and I asked customer care on twitter. Both said no headphones but ours both came with them.

I wonder if it's a DNS issue on LTE.
3G, LTE and WIFI are all pretty separate interfaces and have their own "setup".
What you might try doing is see if you can PING the server by NAME and by IP Address on each of those interfaces.
You may have to dig a bit to figure out what servers the various apps are using.
If it pings by IP but not by NAME it's a DNS issue.
Ever since Lollipop there have been some IPV6 issues that cause DNS problems. But those have been usually on WIFI only.
There are some tools in Google Play to disable IPV6 but it only disables it on WIFI interface.
Like on Lollipop M8, MMS would not work on WIFI for some folks and disabling IPV6 would temporarily fix it.
A really nice tool to debug with is called FING that you can get from Google Play. It has built in PING, Trace Route and a bunch of other goodies.
I used it to find a rogue device on my work Network.
If some apps work and others don't it's very likely a DNS issues. Unless Sprint is now blocking some ports on LTE.
You can also test HOST name and PORT for a service, this takes some serious digging to see if the port is blocked.
There is a tool in FING for that too called TCP Connection Tester. I usually have used TELNET on Desktop PC's to do the same.
If you google that service you can often find the host and port it's using.
Here is an example: Let's say SPOTIFY won't work on LTE
Get the Port and HOST from a search I did that showed this. I searched for SPOTIFY HOST PORT

Yeah mine came with headphones, I'd imagine all the M9s come with them
I'm so happy this is happening to other people as well and not just me, was going crazy trying to figure what the hell was going on with my phone. Hopefully some update will fix this soon as it's very frustrating when I text everyone with Google voice through hangouts and my app doesn't pull in the messages

I'm happy it's not just mine either I mean it sucks but last thing I wanted was a bad radio.
Same issue here, when on LTE can't send snaps (just an example) also push notifications don't seem to come through. Though it might have been due to the rom I was using but doesn't seem to be the case. Even RUU'd it and it didn't help same exact issue. 3G just fine, wi-fi just fine. This is driving me nuts. I guess it sounds like it's a Sprint issue and not hardware which is good but calling Sprint Tech support is usually usless unless you get to the higher ups.
My friend has a pure stock locked non-rooted s-on phone he says he has been having issues as well.
We might wanna get something like this going over at Sprint Community hopefully try and get the issue moved up. I was thinking it might be a DNS issue as well.
Has anyone found a solution?
I have yet to find or see a solution. Sprint or HTC hasn't said anything about it officially. Really sucks cause a bunch of my stuff just doesn't work right over LTE including push notifications won't come through. I have not enjoyed this phone thus far.
I'd advise you all to return your phone that's what I did with mine

I've swapped for another M9, doing the same thing. I'm on the phone with Sprint now, they have escalated to a second tech. That tech claims they are not aware of any issues on the M9, but did say they heard of one S6 having such issues. The tech advised to swap it yet again.
If enough people return them they might actually look at the problem. I remember when the evo4G had an issue similar to this, you couldn't stream music Sprint's proxy would mess it up. Took them a while to release a fix. Really this isn't an acceptable problem, I'm mean half the apps are worthless cause they won't work over LTE. I'm past my return period and I'm unlocked and this appears not to be a hardware problem. I just wish they would confirm something that they are looking into it. I hate calling Sprint for tech support, it will be the usual non-sense of resetting the phone and doing data profile updates. Then they bump it up and tell you they will call you back when half the time they never do anyway and even if they do it's usually not with a fix. I remember I had a problem getting Direct Connect provisioned on the M8 when it came out. Regular CSR couldn't add the code correctly, they did end up fixing it eventually but no thanks to the techs I worked with nor did they really follow with me more than once. An issue like this needs to make it to the correct people which appears that has not happened yet.
I agree. I am chatting with HTC Support now.

Let me know what they say, I know Sprint has yet to acknowledge the issue. All this phone swapping business for probably no reason is gonna cost them a lot. I guess it builds a nice refurb stash.

I called, they supposedly create da ticket under my account to escalate. I'll have to see what happens with that.
