Problem with Sirius App and EVO 4G with Froyo?

For all of you that updated to Froyo 2.2(OTA or leaked) and have the Sirius App, might notice a problem with your app. There is a looping problem and skipping problem. You will be listening to the radio and all of a sudden you will hear it start over again, or it will just skip forward. It seems everyone with Froyo, on any device is having this problem.
I just got off the phone with Sirius. Supposedly, they thought they fixed this problem which started with Nexus 1 and Froyo and has now continued on to the EVO 4G. The Sirius Rep said he wasn't sure what they reported, but this is what the Tech support told each caller. They told everyone that called to go to application in settings area. Go to the Sirius App. First, clear data or clear cache(most likely data). Then, uninstall the Sirius App and then reinstall it. See if that fixes the problem. Of, course, by reading the other forums, it didn't fix anything. But, for some odd reason, not many people called back to tell Sirius that their fix didn't work.
So now on to me. First, like everyone else, we all have the looping/repeating issue, with skipping also. Everyone has had this problem since updating to Froyo 2.2. I told tech support this and they have now escalated back the problem. Before I called, I did what was told to do, clear data, uninstall the Sirius App and then reinstall the Sirius APP, and still got the same problem. This is important. Everyone now needs to call Sirius and let them know about the problem. You must first try the clear data and uninstall and reinstall first before you call, because they will ask if you tried this first. The more people that call, the faster it will get fixed, because it will become more of a priority. I also mentioned to the Tech Support for Sirius that I was on the EVO 4G, and we just got Froyo, 2.2 yesterday, and the Droid is getting it today and Droid X and Incredible soon afterwards. They better correct the problem before they get flooded with calls. The Tech guy said for me to go onto the forums and tell everyone that is having this problem to call Sirius.
So, if you are having the looping/skipping problem with the Sirius App since installing Froyo, call Sirius now and ask for tech support.

You are telling me that no one with the EVO 4G with Froyo, and has the Sirius Application installed, is having any of these problems?

Actually I wasn't aware of this problem and confirmed its happening for me as well.
Thanks for the heads up...I'll call...

I updated to 2.2 yesterday and I had no issues with the Sirius app except the sound is awful now.
edit: ok..it worked yesterday afternoon now it's doing the skipping/looping problem as described in the OP
edit 2: i switched channels and switched it back..it seems to get rid of the looping then dead air...

Ok, what the heck? It ran fine on froyo yesterday. Now mine is doing the same thing. Seems worse when using 3g, on WiFi I could get through one song.
Are you guys contacting the regular support line, or is there a better point of contact for this?

People still pay for online radio with so many free options?
Sent from my EVO using XDA App

If your rooted you can apply the following.
Code:
adb setprop media.stagefright.enable-player false
Once applied you will have to reboot your phone for it to work.
This probably cause some adverse affect on YouTube streaming..

Thank you. However, this does not fix the app. It just says trying to connect. I tried that fix yesterday.

New problem with Market

Hey everyone,
Ever since getting my phone in early october everything has been great. But just recently, I can't connect to purchase games/apps from the market. I can download something that's free no problem, but if it costs money, as soon as I click on the buy button, it says "attention: a server error has occurred. Retry or cancel and try again later." It never works at all for the last few weeks.
My connection is fine. I downloaded 3 free games today alone (and plenty others over the last few weeks). I update all my apps constantly. Everything is stock including the original sd card and I'm not rooted (yet). But ever since these last 3 weeks it won't get to the screen where I get to choose my payment method.
One more note, this started a few days BEFORE my market got updated to the new version of the market. It stopped letting me buy stuff first, then upgraded to the new version of market and still doesn't work.
Oh and also I've tried rebooting, I've tried force stopping the market app and I've cleared the data/cache of the market in app management.
Pleeease help... there's a couple apps and games on sale right now that I want!
Thanks
Dave

Just thought id let everyone know that I finally figured it out!
For all the people out there posting about this same problem, here's the solution:
Log in to your google checkout account (on a computer since you can't from a phone) and re-add your credit card information... fixed it instantly. Yes I already had a credit card in there that was still good... and I had my t-mobile account in there to bill, but apparently something stupid went wrong and it thought I had no billing options available and instead of giving a worthwhile error message it just said "network error"
I fixed it. Your welcome google. Send me something free now please

I keep getting "An error occurred while processing your purchase. Please try again later" on both my phone and through the web-based market.

Yes, everyone is. Just wait it out and hopefully it will be fixed.

Argggg....that sucks. I needs me my 10c fixins.

I have the same error for both too

I also have that issue, apps only. I started on a vid rental, and didn't error out.

even after you get the error, if you wait long enough, the purchase will eventually go through on its own and will download and install on its own. i let the phone sit for about 10 minutes after getting those errors, and when i turned it back on the apps were purchased and installed. o_o

The purchase doesn't even go through so it's not even letting me purchase to download later.

It's just the 10c apps or all of them?

I was having the same problem. What I did to fix it was clearing the cache and data in the market app.
Go to settings applications,manage applications then market. Click the "Clear cache" then the "Clear data". I was able to purchase the 10c apps after that with no errors.

It was Google's issue as documented by numerous mainstream tech sites. All is back to normal now.

I read that as the app is now yours for free, unfortunately I tried to purchase the apps again and the transaction went through the second time. I might have been able to use those dimes for something important, like curing cancer, but now we'll never know.

amazon app problem

for a while now, i have not been able to login to the amazon app store app. i've used it since day one on numerous devices without issue up until about 2 months ago. now, when i try to login, it tells me to enter a correct email and password. the info i put in is correct and i even changed password to try that. it doesn't work. i can put that same info in the regular amazon app and it works just fine. i'm rooted and using blazer's rom right now. i used aokp prior to blazer, and i believe that's when my issues started. on a sidenote, i have the same exact issue on my hp touchpad running classic nerd. any ideas or suggestions? thanks!

For amazon u probably have too many devices registered. Go to your account details in amazon.com and remove some devices associated with your email login and you should be good.

Carrier billing option in the Google Play Store?

I went and tried to purchase Kainy from the Play Store and it said the phone doesn't support carrier billing and made me add a cc to Google Wallet in order to pay for it.
I didn't have this problem previously, I'm currently on the latest update 4.1.2 (June 2013 release with stock injected root).
Anyone else notice this?

I always had a cc on file to use the Play Store. I didn't know there was another option.

I'm also on the latest stock md1 firmware with root. I don't have a problem paying for my play store purchases with my tmobile bill.
In fact, my all access was just paid along with 2 apps I just purchased a few minutes ago. I never use my credit card on my Google wallet account.

I've been having this problem for almost two months now. It started by declining my purchases made with my T-Mobile account with an error code [BM-CPE-16] then it declined me without the error code. Fast forward to today, it gave me a pop-up message saying it was trying to verify my mobile phone account, then decline me to then telling me it couldn't verify it and to try again later. Now the carrier billing option is gone altogether. I thought it was because my GS 4 was rooted, but my sister's phone which isn't rooted at all has no carrier billing option either.
I haven't been in contact with Google Play/T-Mobile today, but over the past couple months I've been in contact off and on with them and they said it's some sort of tecnical issue or something between the two and they are working on getting it resolved, and they had no official time frame as to when it will be fixed. I may bug them tomorrow though just to seen if this is a T-Mobile wide issue. Hope that helps you a little bit?
