On viperrom and this damned wifi tether is giving me problems. I can tether my ipad to my phone with no issues, I can do just about anything on it, surf the web, check mail, etc. the only thing it will not do is stream videos on websites. It loads the video, plays the first 2 seconds then dies. For the life of me I can't figure it out. I have tried just about every setting I can dig up on the web. Anyone else have these issues???? Thank you in advance.

I received the internet connection sharing / HTC update a few weeks ago; internet sharing worked great but the battery life was seriously hit. I couldn't find any other bugs though.
Last week I received notification of the Microsoft 7740 update in Zune; it didn't mention specifics of what was being updated and didn't mention any HTC driver updates anywhere. I applied the update and immediately my battery life went back to "normal" HD7 performance (usually the entire day).
However, since this 7740 update I've not been able to get ANY audio-streaming apps to work either on the 3G conneciton or through Wifi. Apps such as 8tracks, Mixtapes, TuneIn radio etc will load as usual, but when I press play they will show only "connecting" constantly; audio will never play, no matter what channel I try or how many times I skip tracks.
Anybody else experiencing this? I've tried streaming music before / after turning on / off Internet Connection Sharing (in case that's triggering it) but it makes no difference. It's a real bummer since I used TuneIn radio a lot.

I've just noticed that Spotify has stopped working on my 7740 HD7. Can't get it to work with wi-fi or 3G.
Alright things are getting a bit weird.
After a bit of testing I've found that when I restart both my HD7 and my Wifi router at the same time, everything works perfectly as normal; streaming audio, internet, etc etc. When I disconnect from WiFi and go on 3G data, streaming is still working.
However, the trigger for problems seems to be internet connection sharing. Once I'm finished using ICS and I have it turned off, and I reboot my phone (or power cycle), I run into connection problems. The Wifi connection remains solid on reboot, but web pages rarely load and email and other live services grind to a halt. When I turn off Wifi, my 3G data works fine. Streaming services are borked completely at this stage though. To get things working again I have to reset my Wifi router.
My theory is that the bug where ICS resets the phones MAC address on the next reboot is confusing my Wifi router, and only a router reboot will fix the problem. This is a total pain in the hole and HTC need to immediately fix their drivers so that my HD7 has a constant MAC address.
People should understand battery life

This would be sound advice if it had anything to do with our thread.
Any theories on Wifi / data connection issues and streaming audio?
Guys,
I'm using version 9.4 of Android Revolution ROM on T-Mobile and I'm wondering if anyone else is experiencing the same annoying issues as I am.
Currently the network speeds on HSPA+ are pretty good on the phone, I get about 8MBPS down, 2 MBPS up. Not great but not bad by any means!
When I first got the phone it ran great, YouTube, Netflix, Spotify, even just normal downloads came through quickly and smoothly
Now it's horrible. SpeedTest still shows me getting the same speed however everything seems so choppy. Pages will partially load, wait for a long while, and continue to load making the process take forever.
YouTube videos will load partially causing the video to buffer for minutes before continuing again. I can't complete a download because they fail a few seconds/minutes later.
This is even more pronounced when tethering to my laptop using WiFi Tether 3.3-pre2. I can hardly load facebook anymore even though my 4G signal is at the max. It's becoming annoying because I don't have home internet so I kind of rely on this and it was so nice for a while and now it's just awful
I am having issues streaming both audio and video over 3G and 4GLTE. I am running stock Android 4.1.2 and I am on Sprint using the HTC One. Sprint had me do a soft reset and now their only solution left is a hard reset. I have updated my software to 1.29.651.10, but my issues were present before then and still exist.
My issues are audio or video streaming on individual apps. Nothing streams on amazon mp3. When I start, it force closes. Works fine on WiFi. On I heart radio, live stations stream, but custom stations do not. When I start a custom stream, it says no internet connectivity. Everything works fine on WiFi. Youtube will not load videos. Message says having trouble loading video at this time. No issues on WiFi. Nothing streams on websites using dolphin browser, nor videos in facebook, nor videos in twitter. All work fine on WiFi. Flixster movies will not play, app force closes. Works fine on WiFi.
The oddest thing about all this is Netflix works just fine on mobile internet and Wifi. All apps load info just fine. Web pages load just fine. It's only streaming that is an issue. I'm lost and was looking for advice before I do what the customer service agent said (who told me the first thing I needed to do was remove my battery) and hard reset my phone.
I have the same problem with the amazon cloud player. Very frustrating

Since upgrading to Marshmallow I have been having several issues. Battery life, bluetooth, standby time. But the thing bothering me the most is how slow WiFi is I have 300mbps internet from TWC which is flawless and more than capable of handling video playback and network browsing. I have a dual band router 2ghz and 5ghz I have tried both of them on my G4 and they're both the same sometimes webpages take forever to load and so do YouTube videos (They never buffer they just take long to load). I went on YouTube and also searched online and it seems other people are also having these issues. Anyone know what might be causing it or any fixes? My home internet is just fine all my other devices preform excellent and I do daily power cycles to my router to keep it healthy.
Hi, so I am trying to live stream using PdaNet+, the full version, while playing video games and I am successful at doing it and the stream turns out fine. However, every now and again when I'm playing an online game, PdaNet+ will occasionally disconnect and reconnect, and then I get booted out of my online game and the live stream stops. It seems like PdaNet+ is intentionally disconnecting the connection as if it's being overloaded or something. I have a network capable enough of being able to actually livestream and play games but PdaNet+ won't allow me to.
I have been using pdanet+ for tethering my laptop and i use a lot of data. Pdanet resets the connection every 2gb of data. Maybe That's what you are seeing

Hmm, I was not aware of that. And it very well could be, I use A LOT of data every day so it's possible that the uploading just hits the limit and it resets. Is there a workaround so I can verify this is the issue?
I
do not know about any workaround. I don't stream so doesn't affect me that bad. But I noticed that not all phones can handle that load. Pixel 5 seems decent. Oneplus 6T was the worst, disconnect every 30 seconds or so. Best was Razer 2. Uninterrupted connection for hours.

Yeah, I originally had a Razer 2 and that worked flawlessly. Now I have a Pixel 5 and it can handle it somewhat alright it's just a matter of the streaming that causes it to disconnect and reconnect every so often.
