Help [SOLUTION] How-to for Pandora on the Evo - for rooted and non-rooted users

[handler313]

I have rebooted and tried it with the fix and back to original settings. I have internet downloading at 2mb a sec on 3g. Posting from phone as we speak.

 

[Mr. Ed]

check and make sure that the settings are correct and try again.

it should work with or without the settings...it just works better without

sounds like it is completely unrelated

try uninstalling pandora and reinstalling

 

[handler313]

I will, but if Slacker isnt working either I dont think it is a Pandora problem. I will do it tomorrow and report back.

 

[Mr. Ed]

Cool....I have only run across one person that replacing the settings actually normed streaming....putting them back fixed it. Are you rooted or not rooted....what all exactly did you do

 

[handler313]

I had reset back from the 3G fix for the PRL...I just realized I never did the actual Pandora fix. (I meant to but completely spaced I guess...stupid job destroying my brain)

I will do it tomorrow. I will use the fix above for unrooted phones. (never felt the need to root) 10-1 it will work and I will look foolish again

 

[Mr. Ed]

Cool let me know

 

[handler313]

Sprint would not give me my MSL even though a month ago they gave it to me...now I have to go into a Sprint Store...god I hate inconsistency

Just call again to get a different idiot and they will give it to you.

 

[handler313]

Works perfect now

 

[Mr. Ed]

Bumping this up for new users

Tried this, it helped some. But didn't solve the problem. Called Sprint and had them do the OMA push. Helped a ton . But still takes a while between songs on Pandora. CS rep said it's a known issue and there's a firmware update on the way. Didn't give a timeframe though .

I did this procedure on my EVO and it worked fine. I tried it on my wife's EVO and whenever I enter the Advanced menu it "crashes" and says EPST forced stopped. I tried it a number of times after turning the phone on and off. I restored the data profile and it still won't let me into the Advanced menu without the EPST forced stop. Is there a larger problem at work here? Is there a way to reload the EPST program? Should I do a total reset of the phone? BTW, she hardly has anything on her phone as it's new and she doesn't really know how to use it yet. The programs she has are common ones like Pandora, Wordpress and IMDB.

Hrmmmmm.....usually I only see that on rooted phones that have a bad epst apk.


If it is new a factory reset can't really hurt. Back up contacts and write down apps and go for it.

 

[shmn]

I did the factory reset and that fixed the problem. The contacts are all Google contacts so they were saved and I loaded AppBrain before the reset so that helped in reloading the apps. The only thing we lost were her Internet bookmarks. I posted a new thread asking for advice on how to back those up (for future reference): http://androidforums.com/evo-4g-support-troubleshooting/327374-saving-internet-bookmarks.html

Thanks for the help.

 

[Mr. Ed]

updated..location of the proxy settings has changed slightly

 

[mcl1981]

Just thought i toss out there that I've using this fix for 6 months now and still working great. If I put the proxy settings back to "normal", it starts to suck again.

 

[JayR21]

would this also fix issues like pausing between songs? my phone will pause between almost every song and not pick up again until i turn the phone on and unlock it.
my phone says that its looking for coverage but it has plenty of it. thanks

by the way i did uninstall and re install the pandora app and it didn't fix the issue.

just looked at my home IP Address and it shows 0.0.0.0

 

[mcl1981]

Do you by chance have "always on mobile data" unchecked in the phone's settings?

 

[Mr. Ed]

Do you by chance have "always on mobile data" unchecked in the phone's settings?

That's definitely a possibillity


If this is not the case it may just be sprint's network or stagefright combined with sprints network.

On stock phones, the skipping is due to the network. Rooted phones can turn off stagefright by the method I describe above and it completely fixes it.

 

[JayR21]

ya i had (always_on mobile data ) un checked, checked the same and will see if the problem still arises. thanks for the help.

 

[JayR21]

that seemed to fix the problem thanks for the help
I also two days after got the 3D evo and so far i like it
