i had been having problems with streaming radio for awhile now. What would happen is that i would connect to a site and start the streaming. Within moments, the stream would stop. Then start. Then stop. Sometimes i would have to restart the app to make the stream restart. The situation was annoying to say the least.

I was listening to Bubba The Love Sponge today and they were talking about how this was an issue with Sprint devices and the solution was posted on their website. So. Here it is. All i did was copy and paste. I didn't come up with it at all on my own. It's solved 90% of my problem. I still get stream stops and starts but not like before.

"3.70 update killed your streaming music? Here’s the fix.

Apparently the update changed the settings below to something that disrupts streaming.

Here’s the fix:

1) Dial ##3282#
2) Choose Edit Mode
3) Enter MSL
4) Choose Advanced
5) Change HTTP PD Proxy Port to: 0
6) Change HTTP PD Proxy Address to: 0.0.0.0

These are the settings for other Android devices so I do not know why Sprint changed them. But this will get your streaming services working again."

Just finished making these changes. But how do I get out of this menu? I just used the back button , then I reboot my phone

Re: Streaming problem solved on Sprint Android Devices

Hi darkord,
I did the steps what exactly u have there, but I have a problem. When I clicked on edit mode it pop up a numeric keyboard and ask me to enter a password. I really don't know what the password is. I just wonder you ran in to the same problem.. and also do I need to root my phone before I able to do that? I need help..

Thx..

Re: Streaming problem solved on Sprint Android Devices

by password you mean MSL? Get the information you need to learn how to get that here and no, doesn't have to be rooted

Re: Streaming problem solved on Sprint Android Devices

Thanks so much for this post!! I really thought something was wrong with my phone. Until this post i couldnt preview ringtones before purchasing or watch videos. This was a lifesavor. U rock!!

And u have to call Sprint and get your number. Call technical support. Ask to be transferred to Advanced tech support for Evo phones then ask for
your MSL #. Then follow the rest of the directions.

Re: Streaming problem solved on Sprint Android Devices

Any way to do this on Cyanogenmod without having to reflash a sense based rom and flashed back? Like if I use a file manager and text editor, is this file somewhere accessible and readable on the phone?

Re: Streaming problem solved on Sprint Android Devices

So what is the purpose or intention behind HTTP PD Proxy servers on AndroidOS devices?

no idea. all i know is that if they are not set exactly as i have stated (on Sprint phones anyway), streaming will suck.
