I dont think the evo can stream everything as of yet. Mostly videos, music, and pictures that are on the sd card. Could be wrong though.

Because Sprint's 3G is terrible...
Loving the EVO but compared to my buddies on Verizon our 3g is awful.
4G doesn't do much good for most of us.
Ugh... I will give sprint another 6 months to see if they can really come through.
On a related note, I was able to stream youtube through the HDMI on 2.1... don't know about 2.2 b/c I'm on CM6 (no way I'm going with the official froyo since I don't have 4g in NY)
I stream from iPhonemoviez.net through hdmi on 3g regularly, but its with the pop up streaming media player. The other website is flash and it doesnt give me the option to choose player because its embedded I guess. Just thought there might me a fix.

I am having a problem with the ESPN Radio App. The app opens and I am able to listen to the podcasts and sportscenter but it will not connect to any of the stations. It shows the circular arrows and says connecting but after a few seconds, it just fails and a square "stop" appears.
Is anyone else having this issue?
I am running Fresh 3 (froyo 2.2) with the updated radios.
Any help is appreciated.
thanks
My guess is Fresh did the poor AAC streaming performance fix http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=737111 Do the "test" in Post 13 and see if it doesn't say "false".
I did so manually with another rom and found that (in my case) Yahoo Music Radio would not stream. Once I undid the fix, it streamed no problems.
Strictly conjecture: the newer apps (Yahoo, ESPN, etc.) made adjustments to the Froyo changes. Thus, maybe the "fix" actually broke the new apps. Pandora, on the other hand, hasn't updated in quite a while.
I have only tested it on Yahoo but that is my conclusion.
Thanks... I was able to connect to ESPN live streams if I am connected to wifi. So i guess it is only unable to connect with I am on sprint 3g/4g.
Does that help?
I will try the test later... I am unable to do it right now because I am not at home.
thanks
Any help out there? Also Pandora works fine.

My espn radio app works fine after the 2.2 update. But now after the 2.2 update you dont need the app anymore. Just go to espnradio.com and launch the player..with the new flash upgrade the player works just like it does on a regular computer.
Yea but if you put the browser in tbe background, it stops. Mine is still not working. Here's hoping for a fix.

I would recommend checking out this suggestion. I was unable to stream any radio stations although pandora worked fine. I checked and confirmed that this fix was in fact applied on the ROM. I removed the fix and I am now able to stream my radio stations again without using Wifi. The apps I'm using are Cherry rplayer and also iheartradio. HTH and to the original poster I quoted, thanks.
To start with im running a rooted evo (duh) and fresh evo 3.0.0.1
it was doing this prior to root..
It seems like no matter if i'm on wifi.. 4g.. or 3g.. the video constantly whether it be youtube or another video thats using the streaming media player.. it more than half the time will either give me a "sorry this video could not be played" error.. or the "sorry there was a problem playing this video"..
I've searched as much as i could bring myself to without going insane. So far i've read that stagefright settings could cause this. The cache not being cleared.. and that the youtube app just plain sucks..
So, what im trying to gather is first and foremost.. is this a known issue.. or is my phone messed?
thing i dont get if this is a known issue.. is this.. GOOGLE BUILT ANDROID.. and google flipping OWNS YOUTUBE.. why would is be an issue? lol
Any help would be great.. and if this is a known issue.. a sticky might be nice so others like myself dont go insane wondering why the iphone plays video flawlessly on youtube.. while the evo's youtube player simply sucks (so far from my experience.. )
please no flaming.. haha
79 views so far.. could someone at least post whether they're having the same issue or not? or someone they know? i assume i'm not the only one out there if theres that many people lookin at it in less than a day..
update though, i was running fresh evo 3.3.0.1... i am unrooting my phone now just to make sure its not something wonky with root.. i called sprint and talked to a rep, they said to just bring it in to see a tech.. honestly, side note.. the store where i got my phone from.. not the best customer service.. at all.. very short on the phone with every question.. etc.. blah. anyways.. ill keep updating as this moves forward.. hopefully this thread will help someone get some answers if i dont haha
Thanks..
The youtube app is crap. It has nothing to do with rooting. Until they offer an update you should use a browser to open the youtube videos. This will not trigger "a problem playing video" dialog crap.
I can't use the app for that same reason. Happens with certain videos, I think the ones that are "not optimized for mobile" or some such. I can watch them from my browser without issue.
I've been having the same issue for weeks now. I also have exclusively switched to watching videos in the browser. Never have a problem there. The YouTube app DEFINITELY needs an update. Especially with rewinding and fast forwarding videos.
ahhh good so its not just me. By using the browser do you mean loading it in desktop view? and playing via flash? im unrooted now and using dolphin HD.. much better browser imo.. however using the m.youtube.com site still crashes videos.. seems like any video i stream crashed out or can't play.. i'll try the desktop mode and see if i can get them to play in flash instead of the streaming media player..
Thanks
it must be the crappy roms you guys are using or you have poor coverage/reception/bandwidth.
The Youtube app works great for me. It plays everything in HD just fine. I used to have problems with it not playing videos on some older roms, but anything from the past couple months should be just fine.
I would die if I had to resort to using the browser to access Youtube.

The mobile youtube page isn't actually too bad - it's tons better then the regular youtube page, and is almost as usable as the app. But if you have stagefright set to false to fix pandora, then the mobile page won't work and you'll get that "could not be played" error.

I'm using the stock ROM, and have this problem.
I am not sure if anybody is aware of this app but IMO it is one of the best apps out there and takes advantage of the "4G" speeds of the G2. Stream your entire music collection to your phone (you can also download it directly for offline listening) or to any computer you want. I have been using this since I got my G2 and it is a very very cool app.

Thanks for the post...now that I can stream my entire iTunes library the G2 experience just got a whole lot better.

Ill try it out
I like it...it's much slicker than SkyTunes, in my opinion. It also doesn't have the "stuttering when not in the app" problem that SkyTunes does (as I imagine the Android app is native).
Skytunes has potential as adobe air apps mature. Especially when air goes out on iphone (advantage of air, write once for many platforms).
If anyone has problems make sure you read the website. Most problems come from port forwarding.
I always wanted a huge microsd card. My current size of my mp3 collection is roughly 55gbs and dreamed of the day that I could carry all my music. Never have to worry about that again.
And with google getting into doing this very thing this app/service does... watch out.

I don't mean to diss SkyTunes too much, but it still feels really unfinished. I had no problems forwarding the port myself (something that I know Subsonic can do for you with uPnP, though), and I read that the update may help with the audio stuttering. That's definite progress, but Subsonic feels much more finished already.
Do any of you know what I have to do to stream music from my comp over 3g? I can stream over my wifi but on regular cell data it just trys to connect then fails.
You are going to have to look at your router settings and forward the port to your computer most likely.

I've been using this for quite some time, I tweaked the settings to even allow me to stream movies from my server as well.
I uninstalled the app because though I entered the server name, I could not get info on what username/password to use.

I use Tango, but audio isn't great. Both are on Wifi.
Yahoo chat works well if you have a good connection. If you don't it won't even let you. You'll need to download the messenger and yahoo video ? It tells you what to download extra. I never have any problems. I hear my girlfriend and she hears me as well. Video is fluid the four times I've used it.
It just sucks cause you are sideways during videochat.

Actually the epic version works wa better but it is left out of custom 2.2 roms and haven't really looked for an apk for it. But there are only 2 versions in the market and the one for the evo is the only one that has video chat

tons of threads on this.
Yahoo's good-ish but displays images wrong (yours, specifically) and is about 50MB for both. Lots of PC/Mac users have Yahoo Messenger already.
OoVoo requires recipients to download a new application on their PC but it requires less phone memory (about 3MB) and the images are displayed correctly. Seems more fluid to me as well on 3G.
I just got my epic not quite two weeks ago and it came with Qik pre-installed. Tried it out with my wife (she has an Epic, too) and... while it worked, it didn't look great.
Thanks to everyone. Trying qik right now.

For me Yahoo messenger fit the bill. Although it has an issue putting me upside down, it allows me to video chat with people who do not have smart phones. The quality is pretty good too, if you can get past being upside down.
I'm sure this will be fixed shortly, or hope it is. The first release didn't work at all.
I use tango with no problems

I've tried almost all of them and is there any that doesn't put you upside down or sideways? Also.did these apartment do thus on eclair? I wasn't on eclair long enough to video chat.

I didn't have that problem. I was also able to use both cameras. I've not tested it on midNIGHT.

Apparently my post was skipped. Oovoo works well and you are shown properly in both your view window and the recipient's view window.
I actually used tango for the first time last night.
well actually it was me, my sister and my cousin here in florida using it with my cousin in new york. We used it on every platform. first we used my sisters iphone 4 and saw our cousin had it so we called her and it was on att 3g with one bar and worked wayyyy better than expected.
there was a few hiccups and then disconnected because of the signal, so we tried with my cousins ipod touch on wifi and we tangoed my cousin in new york (not sure what phone she has but its an android) and it was crystal clear and the audio was clear.
then i wanted to try it out on the epic and it went through with no problems on wifi. it was even clearer than the ipod touch! unfortunately, i have noooooooo service down here in tampa so i couldnt test it out on 3g, but my guess is that if it went through on Att 3g with 1 bar, it will be excellent on sprint 3g.
it also worked to tango my co-worker who happened to visit miami at the same time we came to florida but his end was kinda blurry. it was more like the difference you see when you go from playing a video game in 720p and then watching a tv show in 480i lol
the thing i like about tango is that if someone has tango, it'll show up in the contact list and its as easy as just tapping their name and then tapping the "Video" button. its like an iphone interface.
hope this helps in your decision making!
PS. you dont show up sideways. neither does the other person. my cousin in new york was laying down sideways and the video was still full screen on our end
Is there some sort of way to patch a fix for the front facing camera orientation glitch? I hate being sideways..
I believe oovoo works the best just make sure if a pc user is trying to oovoo just make sure they have the latest version that is compatible so you can video chat with your device,app is free in market.

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?

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
