Slow YouTube and pandora streaming.

I am rooted and on black bean 2 with the nyan kernel. My YouTube app won't stream videos over wifi. It plays for 5 seconds and buffers and then it goes over again.
Plus Pandora doesn't stream as well. This is over wifi OR 3g. It acts like it's going to play a song and then just skips to the next one. Then it does it again. So it's skipping through songs without actually playing anything.
I am on the 00002 Verizon prl so I get better than average sprint speeds in my area (I have a sprint Nexus).
So any tips for my poor streaming? My og evo streams just fine over wifi. Are there settings I can change? Or kernel and rom tweaks I can do?

This is really all u can do. Disable high quality streaming. If they are I don't know what else to do.

If I have helped you.... hit that sexy thanks button. ^_^

Same issue on black bean. I'm going to try some other kernals.

I'm going to go back to stock and test there. If it works then I know it's the rom/kernel combo. If it doesn't then I know it's the phone.
It just sucks being on wifi and STILL not being able to stream YouTube

I've personally edited my build prob. To stream faster. And you should use my Pandora.
I'm sure you'll love it NO ONE LIKES ADS... and I love to skip alot...Shh keep it on the down low
Here's the apk: https://www.box.com/shared/8b7c4787be177aa18fcc
If this gets taken down PM me for the apk

/facepalm
if it was the wifi freq then the phone wouldnt be able to get any connection at all, plus the OP mentions the problem over wifi and 3G.
Anyone on stock running into the issue? Ive tried a few kernels but its the same all over. It looks like a rom issue.

Just flashed simply android rom and it still doesn't stream pandora via 3g starting to think its my phone. Which is weird though cause I remember listening to Pandora a while back.

I'm getting the same thing on CNA 3.4.1
It must be Easter, Cuz my GNEX is destroying some Jelly Bean!!!

I have attempted several different .apk's as far back as Pandora 1.5.8
I've tried "modified" versions as well as google.market versions
I have located 1 version that works succesffuly on WiFi(I stopped looking after I was able to do that much)... but trust I attempted 10+ .apk's first.
So i've gotten it working on WiFi, but cannot for the life of me get it to work over 3g. I've got a Sprint Gnex myself, and this is becoming very frustrating.
I've been on black bean2, used the new BAMF Paradigm, currently running CNA latest, all with the same results regarding Pandora.
how bout the guy offering his file share those tweaked build.prop setting he was refering too?
doubt it's a setting i'm not familiar with, but i'm willing to try just about anything suggested right now
As far as YouTube, I am streaming a HQ XDA-Developers TV channel video right now as a test. HQ is a little .... I dunno the right word? rebuffers frequently but not horrible(i've gotten 1:30+ straight without inturruption). non HQ is seamless.

Maybe it is JB?

I am running stock on Jellybean and when I was rooted on Jellybean pandora didn't work, when I did the ota update Pandora stopped working again...

So I don't know about YouTube but if you download an older version of Pandora it should work

Best Tether app (non root)

Hello i have a sprint galaxy s III and i was wondering if anyone has had success tethering a sprint phone to the nexus 7? My phone is not rooted, i would like to keep it that way if at all possible. I use FoxFi and PDA Net and it does connect to my Nexus 7, but for internet only. Google play will not update apps, facebook will not work, Netflix won't work, ect. I tried open garden, FoxFi (by itself), PDA Net (by itself) and nothing else connects. What is everyone else using??? Thanks in advanced!

Well I`m using foxfi and it works very well for me. I`m living in uk.

I tried out foxfi today for the first time. It seems pretty good, but I would like to here others suggestions as well.

That doesn't really answer the OP's post though. FoxFi doesn't look like a real internet connection to all apps though. Is there another app that does any better?

If I understand this right your wanting to connect your N7 to the internet via your G3, if so cannot you just use the mobile access point on the phone, i have the galaxy s and my sister has the S2, both have this options in the settings and once set up and turned on acts just like a wireless router, select it and enter the password on your N7 and your away.. works well on mine

I've never tried it, but how about PDAnet?

Foxfi Wifi Hotspot no longer works on my nonrooted Droid Bionic. I can only tether via blueetooth, which doesn't allow all of my apps to work correctly. Does anyone know of a Foxfi alternative?

My Foxfi works fine on droid x to my nexus 7. I don't know what you're talking about not a real connection....
Check it out though, foxfi is definitely awesome.

Streaming media from computer to phone without wifi

So my basic problem is that I have a lot of media on my home desktop. It's a home built machine that has no sounds and runs windows xp
I have no problem streaming video over wifi. Everything works absolutely fine that way.
What I want to know is how to open media that's on my computer from a remote location (using a separate wifi network)
I'm currently using team viewer for remote access and it works for many things but it doesn't allow me to stream video to my phone. It allows me to play video on my computer and to view it but this is useless without sound
I'm considering trying to make a vpn but I'm not very computer literate.
Any suggestions?

No such thing has been done yet to my understanding, you can only stream over a WI-FI network so far

I think I might have found a solution and I feel sort of like an idiot. I'll test it out tonight and see if it works.

splashtop remote transmits sound

I'm trying the emit app it seems to work but I'll have to try it at work. As I said I feel dumb finding this a few hours after posting
I do seem to experience a lot of lag on videos so I guess that's my next problem to fix.

Emit works fine over the net (both on my own wifi and using my cell phones Ltd or other computers on different networks)
However lag when using it over cell broadcast is pretty bad and I'm trying to find a way to improve it

[Q] You tube app constantly buffers on wifi

I have att note 2 with stock rom but rooted. I was having issues with old router at the house so i bought new netgear dual band router. And I have comcast cable with about 22 meg down and 6 meg up so this should be enough to play hd on a phone.
My issue is when i play a youtube vid thats hd it plays for 10 seconds then buffers like the bandwidth isnt enough. My note 1 played these vids in hd no problem. Wifes gs3 plays them no prob. My friend has gn2 also and has the same issue with buffering. However when i kill all recent apps and clear ram and then restart phone it will play the vid easily with no buffering. Then a couple vids later it starts not loading fast enough again. I also have app cashe cleaner that i use about once a week to clear the cash of all apps.
It seems like this happened after one of the last major re-design updates.
Just wondering if anyone has the same problem or a solution?

Sucks! I have the same prob!

Torrents.

Having a weird issue. Torrents are downloading extremely slow when not on wifi. Tried different apps, torrents, internal/external storage, HSPA/LTE.... I think it was working at the beginning but now, When i download on LTE or HSPA I get like 10-30 kBps and I have no idea why... Didn't have this issue with my note 2... Anyone else having this issue....

Not having this issue using bittorent on late downloaded the lone ranger 720p over 1gb in less than 10 min.

What torrent app do you use? Or do you tether it to your PC and use bittorrent on your pc side?

I have the same frustrating issue. I can't even load you tube videos or Google Music right half the time. It loads a percentage and gets stuck unless on wifi. I toggled to regular 4G and baam! Loads like it should

i know there is a legal side to torrents...but this discussion is not allowed here in relation to pirating/etc
