I have recently started using my amaze again for a little and was wondering if anyone else has a problem with slacker playing music.
Basically I can start a song, let the phone sit fit a bit so goes to sleep and slacker will play the current song and the next track but then not go to the third song.
Sometimes just giving the phone a minute after unlocking the screen it will pickup but usually I have to skip the track manually.
So far I have installed and reinstalled slacker.
Wifi is set to always on.
I have did a full wipe on ROM and reinstall energy blue and tried both the faux kernel and stock. Both have the problem with nothing else installed.
So far I have not yet tried a different ROM, and my galaxy wasn't having the problem.
Any ideas on how to fix it would be appreciated as I like slacker due to living in edge coverage and being able to cache.
Thank you

It's probably like Pandora where if your away too long it stops the music to save data

Yea Pandora and Jango does the same exact thing. So annoying but at the same time once I awake the phone its right back at streaming the next song.
I mean within like 5 minutes it will do it. Not really away from the phone that long.
Haven't tried Pandora since I don't think it caches but fine for when at home for testing. Will give that a try and report back to let you know.

tried Android revolution ROM and that one does the same thing too.
trying Pandora now

Ok guys figured it out.
Apparently on both Roms it had nothing to do with either slacker or Pandora.
Seems like the kernel in both android revolution and energy blue (and maybe others too) has a screen off clock speed that is too to run these applications correctly.
I setup setcpu on it with normal at 432 / 1242 interactive cfq and made a screen of profile of 432/810 conservative cfq.
Problem cleared up now and running fine.
Hope that can help anyone else.

I have this same problem though seems like but at about 3 - 4 songs and I need to skip the song in slacker for it to start playing again though. Lighting the phone don't seem to do it.
Shame since I really like slacker and have their 4$ plan for unlimited skips.

This solved it for me, I have an HTC One S running CM10. Bumped the minimum clock speed from 384Mhz to 486Mhz. Thanks man
I've got the same issue. The issue with slacker started after the update to ICS. I've got the stock ICS on the Amaze. It seems to only happen when on WiFi.
I found that if you shut off track preloading it works fine. Strange but it worked!

I followed jkabaseball's directions to spoof the NC as SCH-I800. Enables the streaming video, which is great. The problem I'm having is that when the stream loads, it doesn't play smoothly. What's weird is that it isn't stuttering as you would normally expect, but rather the video speeds up and then slows down.
Anyone else experienced this? If not and your streaming works fine, can you tell me your setup? Seems to be some kind of performance issue.
I've got Tablet Tweaks with OC at 1.1Ghz.
Thanks.
I sometimes get this for the first 30 seconds - 1 minute, but then it settles down.
I occasionally see what you are seeing, but not always, and it usually clears up.
For me, it seems that I can play the game video for anywhere from 5 to 15 minutes and then the screen turns white. Restarting the app doesn't usually restore it. Even rebooting doesn't seem to help.
Anyone else see this behavior? Does the app just suck or is it my device?
I am in CM7 build 41 and dalingrin's kernel 18C (but saw this behavior with previous cm7 and kernel versions), and my wifi connection is pretty fast and reliable (~16Mb ).

Would you be able to provide the link to jkabaseball's directions? I've been trying to figure out a way to stream MLB at Bat on my Nook. Thanks.

I am in the same boat as you. Sometimes it'll load up right away, sometimes I get 20 white screens before it loads. Doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason as to when it works.
FWIW, I was able to solve the constant white screen issue.
Background: I had purchased the MLB At Bat app for my HTC Evo, so when I got the NC up and running I just went and downloaded the version in the Market that was already "purchased". This was the version that was getting me the white screen problems.
So, I uninstalled this app and sideloaded a different MLB At Bat .apk that I got from other sources. For whatever reason, this version seems to pull up the stream right away 100% of the time, although the problem I have now is that the video and audio aren't in sync (the video is a full second or two ahead of the audio).
Anyone experienced this? So frustrating!
somebody help, i have a mixture of all that. sometimes just a white screen sometimes fast then stops sometimes plays for like 4 seconds perfectly then goes to white screen with just audio HEEEELLLLLPPPPPPP
EDIT: i installed an older version of flash player and i havent had a problem yet. i attached the version thats been working for me

Thanks for posting this.
Unfortunately for me, I gave it a try without much luck. Like the other versions, I can watch for several minutes before the video freezes or turns completely white. Don't know how many restarts, wipes, retries until it finally works again.
I hope it's still working for you.
I almost hate to mention it because I'll probably jinx it, but the flash player update (v. 10.3) seems to make this work really well so far tonight.
Not sure if anyone still viewing this thread, but if you download location spoofer, and set your location to mexico (i'm using Cancun) you can view the postseason TV feed, and not just the camera angle version they give you for the postseason.
I too discovered this ability last evening. I put myself in Germany, but none the less it worked well. Too bad I didn't figure this out till the 4th inning of my game.
For some reason when I connect certain headsets to the e3d my phone goes haywire. It will start playing music skipping songs, calling prior numbers on the recently dialed list, launching apps, and more. Any one else have the same issue?

block headset app from the market
that app worked fine for a day or two, but now back to acting crazy when you touch/play with the headset cord
You sure the blocker is turned on (to block)? A green line on the widget means it is blocking. If it's just gray, it isn't blocking the signals and they'll still get through and send your 3vo to the Twilight Zone.

Hello quick question my wife has an SGS2 and for some reason it is accessing the internet every morning when she leaves for work and at night when she leaves work to come home almost never during the time she is in her office but while she is driving. We recently bought a new well used but new to us car a 2011 Kia Sorrento could the car be causing the problem? We do not have any streaming music apps the data usage is between 10 and 20 megs at a time. I just found out about the issue via email from AT&T and installed a data manager to see what is running but thought I might ask here. Her phone is 100% bone stock running 2.3.6 Thanks for your help. John
It sounds like an app is updating/refreshing. Try turning off you sync and testing again.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
It's most definitely a sync issue. It sounds like there's an app that is constantly refreshing itself and grabbing data so take a look at what apps she has installed on her phone. If you turn sync/background data off totally you can avoid this making it so the phone will only use data when apps are open on the phone and being actively used. Try going through and checking the sync rate of apps like facebook. Also, does she put her phone on a dock in the car causing it to be awake the whole time? If so, with it being awake, it could possibly be syncing widgets or apps that aren't running in the background.
Using the data manager is pretty much the only way you're going to figure out exactly what's using your data so that's going to be your only firm answer on what's happening.

The car is the problem. My ford focus once tried to assimilate my phone and I had to put her down. A bullet right between the eyes kills these bastards.
I don't know about syncing, but I had an issue with AP Mobile. Do not use this pile of filth. If you have, delete all icons/widgets and delete all data with the clear data option in applications menu. Then, force stop and reboot. Don't touch it again!
Not only that, but AP is a group of crooked d-bags anyhow. Anyway, I hope you figure out how to solve the syncing issue.

Problem solved I blew up the car with the Phone in it no more data issue.
On a serious note I think it is the Amazon app store it is used like 20 megs today and my data plan is only 200 megs a month. Ill go over all of the apps that are using a meg or more a day and check the settings for the option to update over wifi only or something similar. Than you all for your input and advice. John
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.

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

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.

PANDORA® internet radio
Need help? http://help.pandora.com
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.
