Help Wifi Streaming Intermittent Sound

[tomahan]

Streaming music with my Rezound through Wifi results in frequent drops of the sound, lasting up to 2 or 3 seconds each time. This makes streaming through Wifi unacceptable. When I turn off the Wifi and use a 3G or LTE stream music plays uninterrupted. This problem occurs with all my music streaming apps (Pandora, Slacker, Amazon). I checked the Best Wifi Performance box and that seems to help sometimes, but not consistently. I know it is a problem with my Rezound and not my Wifi as my other devices stream just find through Wifi, and speedtest.net confirms I have a 5mb download speed through my phone which is plenty fast.

My Rezound is rooted and I'm running the most recent OTA of ICS. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks in advance for your reply.

Hello tomahan and welcome to Android Forums. You have an odd problem and it seems you have done all the testing everyone might suggest. Bumping your thread back to the top of the page... perhaps someone will come forward with a suggestion.

Hmmm... interesting, I have no issues running Pandora or Slacker via WiFi, although I have a faster internet connection your 5Mbps connection should be fine... have you tried changing the "Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep" setting to Always? Otherwise, when the screen goes off, the WiFi is dropped, this might be the issue. You could try changing to the 4.3.605.2 RUU.
