Streaming Live Radio

I know there are some apps listed in market that allow live streaming but non of them seem to work. For example Fox News has an app for live radio, it installs OK but when running it it just sits there and I never get any sound.
Also trying some radio stations websites I never get the live streaming to work, even trying multiple browsers (Opera, Dolphin, SkyFire and built in one).
Anyone have any luck trying the above?
Thanks

I'm using TuneIn Radio app. Has all my local stations in CD quality and works well. Although it does take a while for the streams to load.
Also since I flashed JK1 firmware, I can now go on to all my favourite sites and use the built-in flash players. Maybe it's something to do with the firmware?

You beat me to it I just installed Tunein..and yes it works great! A little issue on the buffering (and I'm in a great reception area too) but other than that its a great app!
I have the JK5 flashed to my tab at the moment (ATT Tab with working phone in US) so that may be part of the reason.
Thanks

yes I don't know why it takes so long to buffer but once it kicks in, mine plays without any issues.
Also just noticed it has alarm wakeup function in the menu, so you can specify a time and it will start playing your favourite station to wake you up

While streaming this will this eat into my Sprint 2gb plan ?
Thanks...

Is there a service that can cache music to my SD card while I'm on wifi instead of eating up my 3G plan?
I know Slacker can do this, but they charge for that feature (I think).

Slacker / 3G / EB13

Anyone running the EB13 update having issues or success with Slacker via 3G?
Wifi is fine, Slacker error code on 3G. Data connection is fine, web, album art, etc. Reported to Slacker and waiting to hear back.
Thanks.

I used the Slacker app quite a bit today and had no problems over 3G. In fact, for the first time, I was able to switch to other apps without the program closing on me.

Well, either a fluke for about 45 mins or somehow GPS related? I had not enabled GPS since the udpate but enabled it just doing other stuff and then Slacker started working. Weird. Probably just a coincidence.

Since the update my 3g just picks and chooses when it'll work.. slacker, pandora, hey tell, sending picture mail and emails... driving me up a wall.. I've reflashed the cycle twice via odin, way lame...

Extremely weak wi-fi and Youtube problems

Alright so I was following some YouTube idiot and rooted my phone wrongly, so it wouldn't boot, so I downloaded the GRI54 Deodexed and flashed it on, completely stock, however, there are 2 weird problems on my GT-i9023 Nexus S
Problem 1 - The wi-fi is WEAK. Not just normal weak, EXTREMELY WEAK. I'm only 1 meter away from the router and I've already lost 1-2 bar(s)??? When I'm out atschool and use my iPod Touch 4g, I get full-bars but with my Nexus S I have only 1 bar and the internet doesn't work at all!
Problem 2 - Youtube buffers videos fine on the wi-fi, but with EVERY video after 1 minute it would come up with an error saying something like touch to retry, and it happens EVERY MINUTE. LITERALLY. 1 minute later, bam, video stops loading. So I reload the video, continue from where it stopped and BAM one minute later, touch to retry.
What the heck is wrong here? The GSM signal is awesome/amazing, I get fullbars everywhere, but the wi-fi and youtube are annoying me.
Should I try out a custom ROM to see if it fixes this problem??

Tried custom roms, same thing.

What channel is your W-LAN AP set to?

Was 6, changed it to 1, no difference.
Oh and I restored using Odin and the weak wi-fi was resolved.
But I still have this weird YouTube problem where it will load a video, then suddenly stop loading it after 1 minute in HQ mode and 3 minutes in non-HQ mode, it's like the wi-fi sleeps or something.

same problem here. Cannot watch youtube videos on both youtube app and browser.

Yeah, same. But weirdly enough Vimeo videos buffer and load just fine, and I can enjoy the whole video? WEIRD.

I have same YouTube problem.
About wifi it seems like I have a problem too: I have a router at home and there are some places where my father's old HTC touch HD gets the wifi and my device doesn't even see the network.

I'm on stock 2.32 had the nexus s since Jan or Feb and I never
Had wifi or you tube problems it must be all that rooting and rom experimenting y'all been
Doing....

Well I'm running a custom ROM and have no problems. My Wifi reception is acceptable and even when I'm far away from my access point and getting just 18 Mbit/s YouTube videos load just fine, HQ mode too.
Problem can be the channel your access point is set to our other Wifis in your neighborhood. You could also try to update the radio on your Nexus S and disable the sleep policy for Wifi connections.

Same here. Even if i sit right next to the router, my wifi speeds are pathetic. Is this a problem with the handset or the android 2.3.4 OS?
Any luck finding out???

My wifi speeds are fine but I did notice the drop in signal. I realized the wifi antenna might be on the bottom or near the bottom of the phone where the buldge on the back of the phone. If you put your hand over that spot your signal will drop ....it's sorta like the iPhones grip of death.

Youtube sucks.. It buffers more than Realplayer did in 1998 on dialup. Nothing to do with your phone..

[Q] Help my data does not work

Hi all im using a bell atrix and my data has been wonky. My phone will show that it is connected to h+ with the up down arows showing but my phone is unable to open any web page or do a speed test. This issue is intermittent and a phone reset will provide a temporary fix. It even drops a connection during continuous data use. I listen to Sirius and it will stop playing randomly. Any help would be appreciated!

It happens with quite a few Atrix phones so it's sort of a common issue. I think motorola addresses that issue on the new update.

Check if your apn is still there n are you rooted

need to get RSD lite

Let me clarify
My phone is not rooted. Also this issue is not 24/7 it happenes intermittently and at random intervals. Let me go over things I have tried. Phone reset, sim card swap, phone swap. So I hope that helps.

b_man95,
I am having the same issues. Started about a few days ago.... I was in vancouver over easter weekend and it was working fine. Before I left for Vancouver I was streaming canucks games via the bell tv and radio app and it worked perfectly with no glitches.
Now since back in Fort Mac(AB), when I tried to watch the game 7 canucks vs blackhawks it started freezing. Now youtube, facebook and any heavy data web page or app is super slow if it works at all.
I am running everything the same as you. Where are you located? I called bell and they seemed to be say that it is a problem with either the phone or the sim card... but I am nearly certain this is not the case. It was working fine a few days ago in Vancouver, and I have not changed anything on the phone since then (besides taking a picture or two).
I believe Bell is having network issues but it too f***ing proud to admit it - because they are "Canada's fastest and most reliable network" right?
I also posted this response to your post on motorola support.

Google Movies

Anyone else tried the new Google Movies in the marketplace yet?
I gave it a go last night just to see how well it streamed. I have the Wi-Fi only Xoom and tethered it through my G2 on T-Mobiles HSPA Network.
Overall the experience was kind of sour. The movie played for about 30 mins before it stopped to "buffer." The bigger problem was audio and video was WAYYY off after about 36 minute mark. It was a good 10 secs apart at some points. Took it home on my wireless network just to make sure the T-mobile network wasn't the problem and i had the same problem there!
Anyone else experience the same problem?
Edit:Streaming from my computer was flawless though. It seems to the same problem most video players experience when playing movies on the xoom.

I dont even know where to find the movies. I can see them on the site, but where do I find them on my XOOM?
