Audio Streaming: Connection Dropped - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Alright, just went through the process of switching my phone to use EVRC-B and then Voice 13k. I also changed the ACCOLC to 2, and set EVRC-B to Enable.
After I did that, I found out that audio streaming apps (Shoutcast via XiiaLive, and Pandora) were no longer working. XiiaLive would connect, buffer, and then say connection dropped. Pandora just sat there, acting ready to play music, but when I pressed play, nothing happened.
I then tried iHeartRadio, Retro Radio, Cherry Rplayer, StreamFurious, and YouTube. None of them but YouTube worked either. I changed my settings back (EVRC, EVRC-B disabled, ACCOLC to 5) and rebooted multiple times. Still getting the same issue!
Just want to know if anyone's had this problem and knows of a solution before I do a data wipe.
EDIT: Just to confirm, everything works over WiFi. This is JUST with 3G cell connection (I have no 4G to test). Also, I do not believe it's a network issue, as I can listen to some of the same channels on my laptop (DI.fm/SKY.fm for example), and Sprint's pulling down web browsing and YouTube just fine.

Well, did a factory reset from recovery and wiped dalvik cache. Everything is working again.

I have the same exact issue. I had it with my stock unrooted rom and now i have it with the DC 3.2.3.
Anyone....?

I found a solution and put it in the EVRC-B thread. Basically, just opening the EPST program causes this. So if you're going to change the settings, you have to do a nandroid backup, change the settings, and restore. So far there's just no way around this bug since Sprint/HTC doesn't care about providing fixes our support to modders or anyone who uses non-default settings/software, even if it's software they gave you.

Wow, this is awesome and applies to my case. Indeed, I accessed EPST to change my Slot Cycle Index every time I flashed so I guess that could have caused the issue.
I spent the better part of yesterday trying to figure this out. I did a backup of all my apps and data via Titanium Backup. Wiped the rom, cache, dalvik cache, reflashed DC, and then ran the restore in Titanium Backup. As each app was reinstalling, I would test the streaming radio. All the apps restored and streaming was still working over 3G. However, as soon as the system data was restored (the last step in the Titanium Backup restore process) and I restarted the system, streaming stopped working over 3G. So I figured it must be some random system setting that is restored and must be causing this.
I repeated the whole procedure again (e.g., backup, wipe, re-flash, restore, etc.). However, this time I backed-up and restored apps via Titanium Backup (no system data) and I used MyBackup to back-up and restore SMS, Call log, and dictionary. Using this method, streaming over 3G is now working.
I'll run a nandroid backup now so I won't run into this issue again. Thanks again for posting back here and closing the loop!

Thought I would add to this. As usual, nothing is consistent. I was just in the data menu changing a bunch of things (EVRC-B, SLC, ACCOLC, and WiMax settings). Rebooted after changes and everything is working great. Streaming Pandora no problem, and the wimax changes fixed the ping-ponging connection.

No Data Connection rooted evo4g

I've had my Evo rooted for quite a long time now. All of a sudden I have lost my data connection. It happened maybe 3 days after flashing MIUI 1.7.8 I can browse the web just fine, every website loads perfect. Only thing issue with browsing is that embedded flash videos will not load.
The Netflix app, NHL gamecenter, ROM Manager, and all other apps that use data do not work properly. They say there is no data connection and will not work.
I tried flashing back to CM7.1 and have the same problem. Has never done this before. All mobile data settings seem to be ok.
If I go to mobile networks and turn data off and then right back on, data will work for maybe 30 seconds to a minute then not connect anymore.
Anyone ever experience this problem before?

I lost data on my Hero once, I simply called Sprint and told them my situation, leaving out the fact that I was rooted, and they reset my data profile over the air. Had me reset it on the phone, and everything worked perfectly again.
Yea Just call Sprint. They need to reset ur profile.
lost connection
Same problem but I have been on metro pcs for about a year.

Tethering weirdness

So, I settle into the backseat for a road trip from Toronto to Ottawa, fire up the wifi tether and everything seems good. My transformer connects no problem, but it seems that data isn't going through. Every page I try to load doesn't. So I clear my apns and re add them and nothing. So I do a full wipe (data, cache, dalvik) reinstall osimod and try again. I add my apns and everything works, pages are loading, emails are coming in, etc etc. So, I browse facebook for a minute on my transformer to confirm, then after I restore all my crap in titanium, I'm back to the same lack of data going to my tab.
I'd really like to not have to redo everything manually without titanium backup. Any ideas?
Unfortunately there may be 1 app that is causing you harm and unless you install them 1 by 1 how will you find out which one is causing you the harm.
I have the same problem as the op: tethering doesn't work for me either.

Recent development...cannot watch videos on any medium...

Running tommytomatoes classic rom
Everything has gone great for some time now until last week when I tried to watch a youtube video with no luck
The same thing happened when I tried to watch a video ANYWHERE
It says "Cannot play video unable to connect to server"
Any ideas? Other than the obvious...
My friends with unrooted and rooted phones are doing just fine...mine however is not.
Is this happening over WiFI , 3G , or 4G ? Is Data connection working correctly on other programs ?
Try uninstalling youtube,clearing cache and delvik and then reinstall it through the playstore,so its the most recent version,see if that works for you,the apk you have installed now could be corrupted.

Data connection works fine
It's not only YouTube though. It's any streaming video.
You sure you didn't change any settings? I've heard that zeroing out the proxy settings to try and speed up data can sometimes have this side effect.

Not unless it was totally by accident because I honestly have no clue what that even is...

[Q] Google Play Store Timeout on 3G on TW roms

So I am at wit's end. I have been using CM for as long as I can remember, and this past week, I thought I would try a TW Rom since there are some issues on CM that I don't really want to deal with anymore. For some reason, Google Play always times out on 3G but will work fine on LTE and WiFi. This happens on 4 TW Roms I have tried. I have searched high and low, and every "solution" I tried never works.
The weird thing is that Play Store will work just fine on 3G on CM. The timeout issue only happens on TW roms. I have even gone back to a rooted stock rom, updated profile, updated PRL, and no luck. Cleared Play Store cache, uninstalled updates, removed Google profile and added another one and no luck. Also tried booting into recovery, cleared cache and dalvik, fixed permissions and still nothing.
Does anyone have any idea what's going on? Any help would really be appreciated. Thanks!
I don't have an answer for your problem. I've not any kind of issue like that unless I'm in a bad signal area. It is obviously slower than 4g or wifi, but no issues. And I've only run TW ROMS.

Ok after more trial and error, the only thing that seems to help temporarily is if I delete the contents (and there is a lot of crap in there) of the host file in /system/etc and replace it with just 127.0.0.1 localhost. After wiping the play store cache, going to recovery and wiping cache and dalvik, the play store seems to work for a bit on 3G. I can then download apps but only for a while. At some point in the day, I go back to having the same timeout issue. Rinse and repeat. I also found out that Hangouts does not send messages either, so my problem isn't only on the play store while on 3G.
The only thing I can think of is that I didn't delete my internal storage when I jumped from AOSP to TW rom. I only do a factory reset and wipe cache and dalvik a few times for good measure. Could there be something in the internal storage that could cause this??

[SOLVED] Data stopped working

Running CM11 on PagePlus. I cannot access the Internet. I was able to at one time. Thought it was the Rom so I flash CM10.1 and Stock rooted rom. I reactivated the phone after the installs. Every time it says the network is connected but I cannot connect to the Internet or send MMS. Starting to think it is the phone. Any ideas?
More info:
IP address is applied. Able to ping ip address but not some other known ip address. Traceroute does one hop to 66.174.216.161, which seems to be a Verizon ISP. Might try playing with apns-config.xml. I had tried the one I had when it was working previously but did not seem to change anything.
I'm new, but had similar problems

I'm not sure the MMS issue has been resolved, as of yet. Last time I check the Development thread it seemed like there wasn't yet a fix. Someone will correct me shortly if I'm mistaken, I'm sure.
The data problem you're having is one that I struggled with for a couple weeks in CM11... I don't know how much help I can be, because I'm not really sure what ended up actually fixing it for my dINC. All I know is that I spent about three hours dirty flashing and restoring from nand backups, sometimes the full backup and sometimes just partitions. I also threw in a *228 somewhere in there. Anyways, Through persistence, and sheer dumb luck, I finally have a pretty stable data connection, as long as I don't use the mode switcher in DUbattery(that seems to mess 3g up until reboot).
sometimes it helps to toggle airplane mode on then off.
Thanks for the tip. I toggled airplane mode on and off. I could then load google in the browser but it would not do anything after that. I have a new inc and an OG Evo coming in. Might have to retire my inc for the kid to play games on. My wife is using and OG Evo with no data or mms problems on 10.1 and I am sort of digging the larger screen. Also might be able to help zach with troubleshooting cm11 for the evo (supersonic).

Glad to know it was not just my phone. I am back on your 2/17 build and was worried there was some leftover firewall stuff even though I wiped everything except emmc and sd-card before the flash.
On another note. I have that other EVO coming in so should be able to load up CM11 and do some logging for you.
So I switched mobile data off this weekend with the silent profile and when I switched it back on using the default profile my data worked.

I'm glad you found a fix! On my dINC, I don't use the profiles, and mobile data crashes randomly. After flashing the March 23rd build, it has gotten somewhat better, but it always seems to skip out when I need it most... specifically.... when I use Google voice search to either dictate text messages or navigate to an address(delivery driver). the latter is especially frustrating, because I only use the navi when I'm already out of the store and can't find something, so no alternative available. Sometimes, even when the 3g symbol is full in status bar, I'll push the voice button and it will say, "cannot reach google *** etc" :crying:
