Streaming problem solved on Sprint Android Devices
 

I didn't find this anywhere so i decided to post. If this has already been covered, sorry guys.

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."

Re: Streaming problem solved on Sprint Android Devices
 

That's your particular MSL. It doesn't work on other phones.

Re: Streaming problem solved on Sprint Android Devices
 

Is this msl # located on the phone somewhere or do you have to call Sprint to get it?

Re: Streaming problem solved on Sprint Android Devices
 

you can call Sprint to get it.

Re: Streaming problem solved on Sprint Android Devices
 

why would you want to? simply download msl reader from the market.

Re: Streaming problem solved on Sprint Android Devices
 

The port number doesn't accept 0 for whatever reason

Re: Streaming problem solved on Sprint Android Devices
 

had same problem at first check that 0 is entering as first digit not second.

Re: Streaming problem solved on Sprint Android Devices
 

I had to switch back from swype to the default to put in the 0 successfully.

Re: Streaming problem solved on Sprint Android Devices
 

Works great. Evo running latest fresh.

Re: Streaming problem solved on Sprint Android Devices
 

Nice to know it's helping folks. Way to go Darklord!

Re: Streaming problem solved on Sprint Android Devices
 

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!!

Re: Streaming problem solved on Sprint Android Devices
 

I dont have a rooted phone and i had no problem.
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
 

Great, thanks for the notice! Good to know :)

Re: Streaming problem solved on Sprint Android Devices
 

i thought there was an accept or ok button after you change all the data. did you get it working?

Re: Streaming problem solved on Sprint Android Devices
 

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

Re: Streaming problem solved on Sprint Android 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.

Re: Streaming problem solved on Sprint Android Devices
 

But your phone DOES have to be rooted for this MSL reader to work.

Re: Streaming problem solved on Sprint Android Devices
 

Ok so for us flashers over here do we have to do thos everytime we flash a new rom or what??

Re: Streaming problem solved on Sprint Android Devices
 

I got it working.

Re: Streaming problem solved on Sprint Android Devices
 

i've flashed severals roms and just checked and my settings haven't changed.

glad you found the "commit". sorry for the late reply.

Re: Streaming problem solved on Sprint Android Devices
 

just as an FYI. i just flashed mikrom and when i checked the settings, they were back like they were before and i had to add the zeros again. so the settings should be checked after each flash. sorry.

Re: Streaming problem solved on Sprint Android Devices
 

i got my msl from sprint with no problem, but when i dial ##3282# my phone does nothing. no menu, no nothing. it must be me, can someone help. i really want to solve this streaming problem,

thanks!

htc evo. the menu comes up on 2 of the 3 i have. but i dial ##3282# on mine and nothing

Re: Streaming problem solved on Sprint Android Devices
 

Are you running an old version of Fresh? If you are on a non sprint version like CM the dialer codes won't work either.

Re: Streaming problem solved on Sprint Android Devices
 

how long does it take for this fix to work? it's been almost an hour and my data for htc weather app and getting emails to phone as well as web pages don't work. I dialed *2 and it shows that data was red. Sprint said it may take up to an hour to work.

Re: Streaming problem solved on Sprint Android Devices
 

should be immediate. but i'm not certain that it works for what you want it to work for.
