Reason and fix for Rdio, Rhapsody, Sirius/XM, BitBop, et al failing over 3G after OTA

SprintUsers.com - View Single Post - 12/15 - HTC Evo Maintenance Release - 3.70.651.1

There was a minor typo on his post as the number you dial is ##3282# not "##3283#"

"Apparently the update changed the settings below to something that disrupts streamin. Whether it is because Sprint wants to redirect this traffic to a proxy server or someone just goofed on the settings, who knows. But I checked the settings against a Moment and the Moment has different settings.

Here's the fix:

1) Dial ##3282#
2) Choose Edit Mode
3) Enter MSL
4) Choose Advanced
5) Change HTTP PD Proxy Port to: 0
6) Change HTTP PD Proxy Address to: 0.0.0.0

Successfully tested on both 3G and 4G with NPR News app (which consistently errored out within seconds of starting before this change). "

Followed step by step and worked for me on my Evo. Awesome!!! Used MSL Reader

The only thing, if you have to do a hard reset on your phone, you have to do this procedure all over again. The phone loses these settings after a hard reset, for some reason.

Where do you get msl

You can call Sprint and ask them for it or if you are rooted there is an app in the market that will give it to you.

Thank you so much for this info! My Sirius/XM and ESPN Radio apps finally work again! I haven't been able to listen to either app since January and thought it was just reception in my area. Really appreciate this post!
