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.

[Q] Delay in data transfer with EB13

Hi, I'm having this odd issue. I've heard of everyone complain about slow data 3g speeds and mine seem to be normal, im getting around 1 mbps, however there is a delay in getting data transferred every since I switched in EB13. For example, when I go use the browser, I have my homepage set as Google and it'll take around 10 seconds for it to start transferring the data and then display Google. It also does this on apps, i'll have to wait for the transfer to start. I've tried reset via stock recovery, updating profile and prl, going in ##3283 and changing some things.
Any ideas? Is the modem just that bad?

anyone? it'd be gladly appreciated

maybe its bad DNS? Is there anyway to change that for the 3g on the Epic?

Having the same problem, hope all fix is on the way.

where are you located in in case it's a network issue?

same problem.
I'm having the same issue. In Knoxville, TN right now and I get 5-6 bars on 3g. Full signal in the house on a wireless G network. It happens on both.
I'm on EB13 with Supernova rom and Genocide oc/uv kernel. So there's some customization there. I can't remember, but I did flash a bunch of eb13 roms/kernels and beieve I got the same effect for all of them.
The only thing I've found is this "data lag" on occurs when the CPU is at max in set cpu. I cannot for the life of me figure out what is causing the cpu to run at BOTH the highest frequency (1Mhz or 1.2Mhz, whichever I hav set) AND 100% cpu load as depicted in various apps. I've killed everything and it still stays at full cpu load, and that's when the browser, emails, messenger, anything that sends/receives data goes wonky.
I may have found a brief workaround. When sending a message, the message send icon may hang for 30 seconds to 1 minute for me when this happens. If I hit home and go back into the messenger app a few times, it seems to speed up the process. I'm not sure but perhaps it's forcing the cpu to focus on sending that message for just long enough to send it.

Update: Odined back to DK28 Modem and flashed ViperROM Trinity (DK28) to see if that fixes the data transfer issues.

I just have stock eb13. This is really frustrating. I'm not familiar with odin or anything like that and explaining this issue to sprint is hopeless

Update: there is no delay with wifi. Only 3g and 4g. Does that rule out the modem?

In Denver, Co... I am also having the same issue... my ping rate at times is over 300, and anytime I use 3g it takes a good 10-15 seconds to even start data transfer. Didn't have this issue before eb13, ad didn't have I w/ eb13 from samsung website (though I had othr issues) didn't start until after sprint "fixed" my phone....

I'm a little confused towards the end? You updated via samsungs website? I did too.
What did Sprint do to "Fix" your phone?

May be a dumb question, but have you all tried updating the PRL in settings since updating?

An update on my situation:
I'm running same as before, but since ViperROM is compatible with both the DK28 and EB13 modems, I left everything identical other than the DK28 modem. I no longer have any data lag whatsoever, and my CPU is running fine. No more max frequency clock and max cpu load.

Oh my god, i am so happy someone brought up this issue. let me tell you my story:
i had my epic for 28 days. Ive been noticing the data "hangs" all the time. things like kik messenger time out, market says loading forever and times out, all kinds of issues, 20% of the time, the other 80% the data is snappy and works fine.... Well on the 28th day, i was pissed. i unrooted my phone, reflashed it with stock eb13, brought it to the sprint store and told them i want a new phone because this one is defective, i told them i had it on 2.1 and now on 2.2 i got a brand new epic 2 days ago, and im noticing the same thing, it doesnt seem as bad but what the F*** is going on with the data? I never updated this one to the eb13 because i dont like being rom-less. and wanted to wait for the new bonsai rom eb13 build. I am currently running bonsai 2.0.1 with the OC kernal and gingerbread theme on dk28, only other thing i got on is no battery complete sounds. i even deleted things like screebl and juice defender thinking maybe it was that. i dont know what the problem is...

Okay this is weird. I just noticed that there is no lag in data transfer when using the xda app and when zooming into a map on Google naps you've never opened before. Its like certain things have priority?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

I've noticed that ever snce going o dk28 for the first time.
I'm used to it so it doesn't annoy me as much any more, but it sucks tapping something and seeing the reaction 10 seconds later.......
I blame it on the sprint ping.
This also happens on wifi sometimes, but I blame that on the router and internet over here...can't wait till I'm home in nyc so I can really test out eb13 in 3g and 4g

It was happening on wifi, yes, or it wouln't have been THAT big of an issue for me, hahah. And it only happened when cpu load was at 100%. If anyone wants to see if this does parallel the "data hangs," I believe there's a free app on the market called process manager that will show you cpu load. Try it out and let us know. If this is the case, it really would be an issue of system process priority like mentioned by Samsuck.

Can you provide exact name of the app? Is it Process Manager lite? Let me try and I'll let you know what happens.
Edit: okay, i don't think that app was it.
I have watchdog. lol it says 20 percent CPU usage

Unable to stream (Pandora, Songza, YouTube) over 3G, data works though...?

Data for browsing, etc works like normal... But I'm unable to stream any media on 3G, WiFi is fine and I don't have 4G. On YouTube I get an error about connection to the server being lost (something like that) - App or Browser - and Pandora/Songza just won't buffer, but the apps will load up fine.
Oh, also I on occasion will use WiFi tether to connect to the Wii to stream Netflix, but that works pretty well. Occasionally it needs to buffer.
Any guesses as to why, or more importantly how to fix this? I'm stock and rooted, LG8 firmware, but this was an issue prior to this.

Update prl and profile. Are you in a weak signal area?

So odd. I had updated both following my update to LG8 last week when I was at work... I just updated both again, and now all 3 are streaming just fine. I'm in a good signal area, and so is the are that I like to run in too. Weird. Guess it just needed another update. Thanks for the tip.

I was able to fix mine by changing my Sprint network from CDMA to LTE/CDMA.

WTF. So now tonight it's broken again. Even re-updated the PRL, etc... This is annoying as hell. And on an unrelated note, anytime I try and copy a URL in Chrome it crashes and doesn't copy. And copy/paste everywhere else just doesn't work. So mad.

very interesting...the issue hit LTE evo owners too. ....I have a conspiracy theory but unfortunately can not share it.
those that have contacted pandora get a letter that they are aware of the issue and working on a fix.

I have had the same happen to me, flashed lg8 and lg2 with no change. Still cannot stream.

Unfortunately, still nothing here. So frustrating.

So I'm not the only one having this problem. I thought I was going crazy.

i have been having issues with my evo3d and s3 for the last few weeks with pandora. i have tired all 12 of our demo phones and they are hit or miss, mostly misses lol.i have had a few customers asking why pandora isn't working too.

Still nothing after another PRL and Profile update. This is some bull.

Sprint is just slow and that's just how things are On 3g. There's nothing you can do to change Sprint 3g network it's old technology.

If that were the case then it wouldn't have worked on my Evo... When it did. So, I'm thinking that's not the case...
Anyway, I will place a call to tech support this afternoon, I just need access to a 2nd phone.

Welp. Call 1 was no help. All they had me do was type in some code on the dial pad that took the phone through the hands free activation process. Didn't work (duh)... And then I was told to clear the cache and cookies on my browser (how that'd help Pandora...?) which also didn't work. He then told me he could set me up with an appointment at a Sprint store. Uhm. No. Have to try another tech.

0 for 2. Again asked to update profile... Even after explaining I literally just did. Same with cookies/cache. When I reiterated that I can't stream via apps or a browser the tech sounded perplexed, and then we got disconnected.
So, is my best bet to unroot and take it in? Lame.

Data Profile not updating??

okay i had perfect 3g connection before i had youtube streaming fast and webpages loading really fast. Now my 3g is no bueno i have connection time outs and slow downloads speeds and buffering is all i get when trying to watch youtube over 3g. So what ive done so far
First i went straight back to stock and factory resetted everything on Gingerbread and did my OTA official updates than did update prl and profile in settings status update but my data connection over 3g is still slow so i did the next thing
##72786# SCRN reset
##3282# (checked all my settings) Device ip says 0.0.0.0 dont know if thats right the other info dont know if thats right either only able to VIEW and EDIT seperate fields one at a time
##MSL#(even put in a new MIEID number from sprint)
then onstart up hands free activation is running sucessfully it updates prl and check for firmware.I then open up sprint zone to chck voice and data both are green however there is a message of an very important profile update available please click here to have full coverage of your data so i click it and i get error cant update profile please try again later.So i keep trying and eventually it updates and says settings have been applied updating content. when i reopen the sprint zone voice and data turn green but the darn profile update for full data services is still there. So i power off pull battery and continue getting same results. The data profile isnt sticking even when it says its been updated. My 3g internet is still slow. Ive also done factory resets from the recovery menu.Sprint even re-pushed my connection off on then pulled battery to see if signal issues were an issue.
so then i do ##rtn# but still the same results. I have tried different modems as well to see if that was the case but no cigar.
Im currently on FH13 ICS 4.0.4 Official stock sprint. the sprint tec support suggest me to go into a store for further troubleshooting cause thats all they can do however i think theres more i can do here just need a little help. I know theres a bunch of more menues i can enter the codes are from this website below. I hope someone can help me with specific correct configurations in the data profile section because this phone doesnt give you the option to reset to default in your data menu just edit and view. Thank you in advanced

Thier wasnt any outage on my network or construction over here either

Don't pay attention to it's a bug in Sprint Zone it always will say there's an update. Update PRL and Profile in Settings and you're good. About speed maybe a network problem in your area it happens to me yesterday PRL Update failing and eventually updated after a few hours also speeds went back I called Sprint and indeed it was a tower problem in my area.
They will tell you there's not outage if no one is reporting. It happens a lot here in PR and when I pass by the tower in Hatillo there are workers on the tower. Lol they know nothing about their own towers.

but what also is funny is that im using a app called landroid which lets you poke around your network and see information by entering your IP so i did and i got this off a ping......
10 packets transmitted, 0 received, +1 errors, 100% packet loss, time 9007ms
this cant be right though because im using 3g right now to write this post shouldn't i be unable to reach through with these results?
i ran a busybox ifconfig and got the results i should have no packets lossed maybe i entered the ip wrong or its one of those loop traces idk it said ip so thats what i used in landroid regardless still got good 3g any tec want to fill the slots for me please thanks.

I don't know you already fix this problem or not.
I searched several site and finally got an answer for this problem.
Just connect WiFi and let it do whatever it want.
Before I found this, I tried several things;
1. restarted my phone
2. pulled out battery and put back
3. killed the process from task manager
4. removed FB account
5. removed FB app from my phone (actually, back to previous version) and update again
Non of these helped me ever!!!
Also, this problem is not device specific. (I realize it after googling it)
I mean various devices and locations had the same issue.
Anyway, good luck!!!

Thanks. Connecting it to wifi did allow it to finish the unending installation very quickly. That was annoying and I'd like to know why an update initiated on its own, seemingly from within the app and not through the Play store (I do not have any auto-updates allowed, especially for social media apps), and drained my battery while it looped an install process that was apparently constantly seeking a wifi signal to complete.

Thanks a lot!!

I started having this issue today on my Galaxy Tab 2. The only solution people found on different forums is ti turn on WiFi. It'll immediately start downloading and would get installed (Probably due to its size it does not want to be downloaded on 3G/4G). Although I don't feel very comfortable installing this, Does not feel very genuine to me.
Did any one else had this problem? or any issues after installing it?

I had to switch to Wifi about 3 or 4 times and then it finally downloaded. It tried to download all of last night and killed the battery. In the mean time my phone has switched to using Edge instead of 4g and no matter how many times I switch Airplane mode on/off or restart the phone I can't get my 4g back. Think it is just a local problem? I've got a S3 on T-mobile in Orange County, CA.
