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...

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.
Hey guys,
My Evo was stolen a little bit ago. Homeless guy (who knew my dad, so I had no reason not to trust him) came into the house, and I'm sure that he stole it.
Is there anything I can do to find it?
I've heard about the family locator and whatnot, but I know you have to have activated it before the fact.
Please help!
Borrow a phone.
Find the guy.
Call your own phone number.
Listen.

If you have root, move the apk to the system/app folder (or /system/data, I can't remember right now)
if rooted just go to mobile defense site and download the system flashable zip. boot into recovery and flash. this will allow you to turn on gps remotely if it's off.
Im going to give this mobile defense a try. Unfortunately they have the beta closed right now so I had to go to the site to sign up for the waiting list. This sounds like an very useful app.
Sucks.. Mobile Defense you cannot get anymore
Where's my droid is a free app on the market which I use. If you misplace your phone somewhere and it is on silent all you have to do is text it from another phone with the phrase where's my droid and it will ring on the loudest setting until you find it.
If someone steals it all you have to do it text the phrase gps my droid and it will text you back the longitude and latitude coordinates and also a google maps link of where it is at. pretty cool app.

Because I'm in Canada and Google Navigate does not work for me.
And do I need a data plan to use google maps?
And if I don't have a data plan, is there an app where it only utilizes GPS signals, and the maps can be predownloaded and stored on USB?
Check out Mapdroyd in the market

Do you know how this compares to the GPS you can buy at Bestbuy or Futureshop?
Like the TomTom or Garmin ones.

Google Maps does work in Canada and yes you need a data plan. I dont even use my old GPS unit anymore.
Copilot is a pretty good program with maps that can be downloaded and used without data. Good for traveling south to the US.

Don't be asking for warez on xda gonna get you into trouble.
Yea, but I never ever buy software or apps.
I managed to get the app for free but now I just need the maps for free as well.
I now realize that this is not like the warez forum I frequent everyday and I should not be asking around for free maps, but I was just being hopeful.
Read This thread and looked up co pilot and it was 2.99 for just America and 9.99 for North America. So i figured why not 3 bux cant hurt. Got the program and tried it out. Looks pretty good allows u to download 3 voices (one English regualr, British male, and Female named lisa) also after you selected which voice you want it will than ask you which maps to download first and instead of forcing you to download the HUGE map all at once it is split up to different states and areas and so forth so you can download as you please. And if you REALLLY want all the maps theres a quick button for that as well. I havent really gone out and tried the GPS right now since its late and i dont need to go anywhere but hopfully this is the app that will get me around when i dont have 3G or Haspa. I am in NYC and basicly i get no signal out in NJ and parts of Long Island so i hope this thing works when i am in those areas lol But hey its on sale for 10bux i really say give it a go and if you really dont like it returning the program is really easy and you shouldnt be afraid to spend money on apps. I enjoying purchasing apps and donating to developers =]
Okay, so mapdroyd is no go as it also uses a data plan to determine where you are.
Is there any service/app that does not use data plan?
If you root your phone and put virtuous sense rom on the phone you could use HTC Locations. In that program you can download maps, I did it and works for me.

I don't just need maps. I need an app that can track where ever I go and move my location in real time via GPS.

I have the latest Virtuous Sense Rom (0.7.0) and it doesn't have said HTC location.
I have 0.7.0 and I have locations, even downloaded the maps for the west coast.
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
Oh you mean locations. I was looking for HTC locations. Lemme give that a try.
so far it works with wifi and gps on.
Will test it with no wifi when im going to school.
Why is Canada 480 mbs while USA is like 1.5 gbs?
We're both the same size!
Locations does not work if you have no data plan. So I guess this phone is not a substitute for a GPS if you have no plan.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
If you need something that does NOT require a data plan (that can be used pretty much on-the-go), CoPilot may be your best bet (I'd have mentioned iGO for the Android, but unfortunately iGO is only (legally) available for OEMs and requires some kludging to get it to work gracefully on the Vision Z/G2 and is rather more expensive for its map sets).
And yes, CoPilot does have Canadian maps.
I have a weird situation that I've had since I got my GS3. I go to school in Milwaukee, WI. However, if my phone updates its location while I'm in my dorm room (only that little room), it thinks I'm in Cisco, TX. I can tell you that it is NOT 80° F in Milwaukee. I'm stumped on how to fix it. I'm rooted and currently running CM10
Maybe try gps toolbox form the play store and run it. That may help out on the location issues

Well, I found that I cannot update my PRL and profile the traditional way while on cm10 because it's not touchwiz based. (Maybe I can fix it when I find a good jelly-bean touchwiz ROM.) How else can I update it? The GPS toolbox didn't help to fix anything.
I want to point out that my GPS works fine and Google maps works great.
A hypothesis I have is that someone with a router a floor above me is from Texas and one of those companies that sends trucks out and associates routers with a location to make it able to find your position without connecting to he internet while still having WiFi on associated that router with Cisco, TX. I dismiss this, tho, because there a lot of other routers here, including my own that would only be registered with this location. Plus my GPS SHOULD override that, right?

Both the bone built into the cm10 lock screen (I believe they get it via yahoo weather) and the one from my "fancy clock" widget that uses AccuWeather. If they update outside my dorm room, they're correct, but if its when I'm in the small room (with good GPS signal, 3G, and WiFi), it says I'm in Texas.
Google maps does, and I think GPS toolbox does but I don't know my longitude and latitude.

try going to http://www.geoiptool.com/
and checking what it says when your in your dorm.
Try on 3g, on wifi, and in airplane mode with wifi on please [with GPS off]
Go to settings-developer options-and check if 'Allow Mock Locations' is checked, not 100% sure if that would help, but I know it usually shows you like 2 or 3 blocks away from your accurate location, just incase a site, or someone is looking for your location, like I said, not sire 100% if that would help, but worth the try, good luck

So just got my G2 the other day and noticed whenever im in LTE area my weather widget will not update and gps doesnt hardly work either. Also when using browser, at the bottom of google it will say location unknown. When i try to update my weather widget it will fail and pop up a black box at the bottom of screne saying location services temporarily unavailable. When i go out of LTE back into 3G all of those things work just fine. Gps locates fast, weather widget updates, and in google it will show my precise location. Told sprint about this, guy at store gave me a new phone thinking it was a problem with the phone. Got the new phone home into LTE and exact same issue. 3G everything is fine. Called sprint dude and he told me i would have to call tech support. So, im wondering if this has happened to anyone else and is there a fix. Really dont know what else to do and really dont feal like dealing with sprint doofs not understanding what im talking about asking me if ive turned on location access. Lol. Ive seen posts about dialer codes and all that but am too nervous to mess something up when i dont quite understand what the issue could even be. So im calling tech support right now. You guys! Lol. Any help would be great. Thanks
