[Q] iHeartRadio not working

Anybody else having this problem? Loads up correctly and everything but won't connect to any stations.

I seem to be having the same problem also.

Me too. On my Evo, when I switched to 2.2 I had this problem. The fix was to toggle wifi while trying to start a station. That fix doesn't work on the Epic. I think this is going to require feedback to the developer.

Drat! This is one I was hoping for.

I heart radio not working for me either.
Do you have Tunein from Radio time. You should definitely check it out it has tons of stations search-able.

I'm thinking the developer has either coded it to only work on WiFi, or made a mistake in the application so it doesn't know how to use 3g or 4g networks to operate.
I use Slingbox and police scanner apps on 3g so I doubt it's an issue with the phone itself.

i had iheartradio connect to a station ONE time, ever on my epic. i've heard its a terrible app and clearchannel never fixes, updates it. and whats worse is a like a clearchannel station which cant be pulled up on tunein or other apps. bogus....
it doesnt work on wifi or 3g for me and nothing fixes. and i get stream podcasts on other apps while on 3g or wifi no problem, def the app.

I have it working WiFi only on an Epic. Strange...

My understanding is that this really an issue of a proxy server inserted by Sprint to filter our internet traffic. Instructions for removing the proxy server setting can be found in the "fix for skyfire" thread (my apologies for not posting the link)

I actually found a work around on accident. I knew that it was wifi only. My other post was my suprise with the FC issues. Ill post the work around on my site tomorrow when I'm not on my Epic (which is flashed to Cricket).

So apparently sprint thinks this is the iphone and we want our traffic filtered and/or proxied. This causes skyfire not to work with its flash video feature (and possibly other video/streaming apps, like a radio app I tried). But you can fix it and here's how (credit goes to sdx thread for the moment, will try and post link when back at pc):
##3282#
Multimedia
Input your msl (find it using adb command getprop, look for msl in readout)
Change rtsp proxy to 0.0.0.0 and rtsp proxy port to 0
Enjoy your unfiltered traffic!

you sir, are the man! ran it through, will verify the fix but this is much appreciated

awesome thank you!

iheartradio is kind of sucking on both wifi and 3g. Happens with both the Epic and Droid X. Pandora runs very smoothly though. This leads me to believe that this app isn't that good. Anyone else experience this?

If you apply the fix referenced in this thread, from the skyfire thread, it makes it work, but ya the app itself is kinda crappy, mine buffers every few min even on solid 3g

I have an older version of iHeartRadio that streams much better than the latest...

radiotime
I stopped using Iheartradio because I found radiotime which is much better in every way

Everyway except that you can't get Clearchannel Communications stations on there.
That's the only reason why I have to use iHeartRadio...

I see. I haven't been unable to find anything I want. I bet clearchannel has a lot of stations huh?

94.5 the Buzz out of Houston is all I care about lol.
Haven't really been able to find a good station. Don't live in Houston anymore... The morning show is actually pretty funny.

Share Your Music, What's Your Station?

I have a paid slacker radio subscription. I couldn't be happier with it. Caching is awesome. Thought I'd make a thread sharing my custom station. It's awesome if you like bands like 3 doors down, Creed, Default, Shinedown, Seether, Puddle of mud, Chevelle, and Breaking Benjamin.
Here's the link http://slacker.com/r/00VYn
I like all kinds of music. Pandora or Slacker. What's Yours?

I also have a paid slacker account, my fav is Rise Against Radio...

Also, what is this caching you speak of? I've seen it on the app, but never used it since I dunno what it does...
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App

You download hours worth of music from any station of your choose for offline listening. When offline listening you don't need a data connection and you save tons on battery because you're not pushing anything through your data connections because the music has been downloaded. If you have a paid account you can cache 25 station. Be warned it takes a long time to cache stations, so only do it when you go to bed. Just leave it downloading, I usually only do 3-5 stations. I also found it helpful to go into settings and not allow the device to update by itself when it hits a wifi connection.
Another thing is go to menu>setting>wireless & networks>wi-fi setting>menu>advance>wifi-sleep police>never>and then the home button. This now makes so your wifi connection doesn't cut off when the screen is off. You're caching doesn't get interrupted when the screen is off.
It's an awesome feature. Try it.

OP question on the caching. How many songs does it cache? Also, how long does it stay on your phone (expire?). Sounds very interesting and I would lean towards getting it if it works out how I think it does.

I've already done the wifi sleep thing, I hated that it would shut off...
Thatnks for the info on the caching, I never noticed it in the menu options...I mostly use slacker at work so this will be very useful.

I dont know for sure ive read 100 songs per station. You get to cache 25 stations. Only 4.99 a month. I've only cached 1 set of stations on my g2 music device which is not my phone and I've never had to change the songs out again so I'm pretty sure it saves 100 songs per station. You get it for free 14 day if you wanna test it out.

Actually its only 3.99 a month...atleast that's what I get charged.

I tried slacker(paid) twice on my nexus one. The first time, was for a long trip down a truck route(less traffic and construction) to georgia. The second time was for a trip down to visit my wife's friend in myrtle beach.
First time: It worked well. Caching worked great. It never stopped playing the whole time. 14+ hours and it didn't stop.
Second time: It didn't work right. It wouldn't load songs. It kept skipping ahead on it's own. Caching didn't seem to work.
Even though it worked well the first time, I found that it's selections weren't nearly as accurate as pandora. I'd pick music by lil wayne, and a couple songs in it would start playing lady gaga and mariah carrey. Nothing against the two artists, but the genres don't exactly mix. In my opinion, if pandora were to incorporate caching(they've said they will not), it would be the perfect app.
I'm going to revisit slacker on my g2 and hopefully get some new results.

Make sure when your start the caching of stations your phones signal is strong and uninterrupted. Calls don't affect the WiFi signal. That may be causing it to freeze or skip. When making custom station slacker gives you a very long list of artist / bands for you to determine which to play and which not to play You also have the option to ban artist from your station... no more lady gaga.

lol no one uses last.fm anymore?

I can't get cache stations to work anymore, not sure if it was the recent Slacker app update or the G2 OTA Update. Anyone else having problems? I tried uninstalling and reinstall, but no help! I'm pissed, it was working great!

Try uninstalling the app then go into your sdcard and delete the slacker folder. Then reboot your device and do a clean install of the app, not a backed up version. It should work. Try it and let us know.

I did everything you suggested twice but still no Cache play. Finally I reinstalled a 3rd time and then I cached & refreshed 1 station over the mobile network instead of over WiFi. Right now everything seems to be working okay. I'm gonna slowly add more stations and see what happens. I'll keep you informed.

Gonna try Slacker again...
I used to use it on my MT3G and it used to stall a lot...I then started using Pandora and that worked great until recently (maybe past 4-5 months) it contantly skips songs when playing from my phone.
My music is quite diverse
Station 1: Tool, STP, Alice in Chains, Breaking Benjamin, Chevelle, Linkin Park, etc...
Station 2: Dropkick Murpheys, Flogging Molly, Enter the Hagis, Young Dubliners, The Cranberries, etc...
Station 3: Hank Williams Sr, Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Patsy Cline, Willy Nelson, Elvis, etc...
Station 4: Lifehouse, Kutless, Thousand Foot Krutch, Haste the Day, Red, etc...
I will post my stations later this evening when I get home

ESPN Radio App

i have this app and havent used it in a while, i tried to listen today and noticed that app loads but the radio wont stream. when i tap the screen to load it, it buffers and then displays the big white square for stopping. i am running CM7. does anyone know of a fix or having the same issue??
i read online that if i connected to wifi it would work and then if i turned off wifi it would still stream from 3/4g but i dont have a wifi connection here and that kind of defeats the purpose when trying to listen on the road.

i guess its broken on GB, podcast still work though.

sounds like your hosts file is interupting. Do you have adfree installed? If so, in the app hit "revert"

Yes I do have adfree installed.let me try hitting the revert button.

Same issue for me...I was pretty disappointed in this app, especially when I realized TuneIn Radio has my local espn station and several others, while all the podcasts are free anyways on listen or online haha.

[Q] [app] App to record streaming audio?

So I'm looking for an app that will record streaming audio I'm playing on my phone, right from my phone. I know there are things out there for PCs that will record whatever is on the sound card, which is awesome, but I'm looking to do it from my phone as well. Anyone know of anything out there like this?

TuneIn Radio Pro allows to record radio streams you're listening to...

But this isn't going to be from radio stations, this will be like podcasts of sorts. Think it'll still work?

So, if I may ask, what are you trying to record? Do you want something that will record regardless of what app you are listening to like Wunderradio, IHeart,etc? If something like that exists, I want it too.

Basically buying talk CDs online and I can stream them right there from the site by hitting the Play button. It will open up a player (I'm doing this from the web, I use Miren browser) and start playing. It's great, so long as I have an active internet connection, but I'm hoping I can have it save the stream as an mp3 file.
I know there are apps for PCs which will record whatever is going through the sound card, which is perfect for this, but I wasn't sure if that is an option with the phone.
If not, no big deal, I can do it on my PC when I get home, but would be nice to be able to do it from either.

Does anyone know where the recorded audio gets stored on the mobile device? I would like to be able access it outside of the app.
Thanks

AVRCP Metadata not submitting via Bluetooth.

So has anyone else come across this issue?
I haven't tested the google music player, but using Pandora, metadata were not being sent to the bluetooth player, just like the note 3 before it was updated to KK.
Any one else experience this?

Bump!
Really miss that feature. I listen to a lot of unknown music in my car through Google play Music and i liked the metadata in my headunit. Tried several players to no avail.
Any Solutions yet?

I'm having this issue as well. Mazda 3 nav unit. Very annoying.

Bumping this. I'm getting no tags (2nd gen Mazdaspeed 3). Some people have said they get it for music on the device just not for streaming i.e. Pandora. I get none from the built-in music player or Poweramp (or anything else). My GNex worked perfectly in this regard (after rooting and upgrading the BT stack), kinda disappointing that it doesn't work on a brand new handset.

Have been playing with the BT-settings in the secret service menu. Tried checking and unchecking SIG profiles , Apt X, LG AVRCP 1.3, starting and stopping services in all combinations to no avail.
It is even written there in the menu. Just doesn't work. Shiznitz.

I'm not aware of that menu. There's also the "Audio channel" setting in the bluetooth options, but it looks like that would disable the calls/notifications... I also tried that AutoAudio app, it displays the info properly in the app, still doesn't show in the car though.

Tap 3845#*855# in the Dialer - brings you straight to the Service menu.
If you have the international G3 D855 model that is.

I seem to recall this being the case on my S3 when it ran 4.4.2 and it got fixed when it bumped to 4.4.3, so maybe it's the android version that's the issue. I noticed the same thing and that was my first thought.

I was having the same problem and can confirm that autoaudio fixed the problem in my 2014 Kia soul with the infinity audio upgraded head unit with nav. Works fine now ??

I was thumbing through some system files and I found this.
In the Bluetooth system settings, it shows a confirmation of using AVRCP 1.4 instead of 1.3.
Since I can't make a back up and I'm afraid of doing harm to my Verizon G3 (again,) maybe someone can look into this?
Its under system > etc > bluetooth as a file called device_config.xml
Just a thought.

I can confirm the Autoaudio app works on my ATT D850 and my Ford. I use Beats Music and it shows track information in my car.

On my ATT 850, tags work around 50-60% of the time. It's strange. There's also quite a noticeable delay between tracks.
