I cannot seem to get this app to stream stations when connected to LTE or regular 4g. As soon as I switch over to wifi it works perfectly. Any ideas/insight?

works fine for me on "4g". although there are times where the stream goes wonky. Don't have LTE to test.
I've had the same problem with tune in radio since day one on this phone. certain stations will play but a lot of them will not. LTE connection is blocking it by ATT, if u change apn to non LTE it will work. i dont remember the settings for that though...

On Rogers mine works on LTE, "4g", or wireless with no problems... it works but is too slow on "2g" and the rebuffering pauses are unbearable.
I often start it playing in Ottawa and only get a short "rebuffering" pause as I drive out of LTE range, and once on "4g" it seems to have to rebuffer more often, and I suspect it's occuring as the signal lock transitions from one tower to another... When I turn into my driveway 230km later it transitions fairly smoothly to my wifi when the phone picks it up and gets an ip...

I do a lot to save battery but keep the phone flying, but one thing i havent tried is using LTE only. I live outside of philly, so im thinking since im blanketed in all those 4g emvs and dont travel far i can pull this off all day without switching to 3g and back and forth. Anyone in cities centers doing this?
If you set it to LTE only and lose 4G service, you'll drop to 1X.
How do you set it to 4g only?
I use LTE Only mode, I live in L.A. and the entire city/county is pretty much blanketed in 4G, I've never seen my phone drop to anything else besides 4G but I'm sure it would if I went somewhere with bad service. Battery life is great for me on LTE only.
Yup I use LTE only in NYC. Not a single issue.
Use 4g only here in san Diego.. no issues
4G only here in Jersey City, no problems.
LTE only here in DC and all is well until I go too far from the city. Then I just switched it to 3G only. TeamAndIRC ftw.

Cleveland with 4g only in LTE mode checking in. Good battery saver.
Good battery life with LTE? LOL yeah, if you don't use data. Try using it hard for a couple hours and see where your battery is.
Yep in Houston. Very rare does it drop service (usually only if I'm in the rear of a store) and it drops to 3G. *using *#*#4636#*#* method
I use it all the time.
I have a few spots on my commute that 4g drops for a sec and if I don't have it on lte only my tethering will stay on 3G until I turn off data and turn it back on.
So when I leave it on lte only it might cut out for a sec but comes back on.
I only use LTE in Nashville as well. No issues.
I haven't lost service since I went LTE only a few hours ago n I've been playing on it ever since. Pretty good. Maybe the device takes on 3g if that signal is stronger? Every other time I use it In my house I notice it flipping between them. ill have to really take a few days n see if it makes a difference w battery
how are you guys turning on 4g in the settings? i dont see a setting for 4g anywhere

phone/dialer, *#*#4636#*#*
tap phone info, scroll down, choose LTE only from drop down menu, wait or optionally tap radio off and then radio on

LTE mode on in Denver - spotty as your head towards the mountains
LTE only in Seattle area, no problems.
I use an app called Network by mangelow to manage the radio.

I've experienced the same problem, it hardly ever drops to 3g, always straight to 1x. I also live in a extended service zone and usually only get 1 or 2 bars of 4g at home. One thing I noticed is that if I have my whole hand gripped tightly on the phone, I will lose 4g. Kind of annoying at times. Hope it is just an automatic switching software problem and they can update it to seamless 4g/3g switching with no 1x!
I am going to try lte only in Pittsburgh... will post status update tomorrow
It's stable at rest but not in the car hunts between 3g and 1x a lot.....
This might be tough to addresses unless there is another cdma version around we can heist the radio firmware from.

mine has the same problem even in the same spot.. it will change to 1x during a speed test.. its not a big deal but it is sure annoying
Are you guys getting actual 3G speeds when its not showing 1x? It may not have provisioned correctly and is failing to authenticate on the 3G network.
Yes. I am getting up/down speeds well in excess of 1Mbps, which is WAY beyond 1x capability.

Mine goes from 3g to 1x only when I fire up the gps, data speeds stay the same though.

Honestly, this 1x camping/hunting issue is something I've seen on 3 different phones now on Sprint's network. I think this is a Sprint problem - either the towers or the radio code is too agressive when switching towers, and so the phone is constantly switching between different towers or different modes on the same tower... and the strange part is that the phone switches OFF of a tower with a strong signal to switch ON to a tower with a weak signal. That I don't get at alll.
The irony is that I have worse data problems when I'm at work, where I can actually SEE one of the two nearby cell towers, than at home, where the only tower in range is a good 3 miles away.
Recently I noticed that my phone is dropping internet connection quite frequently. I started to observe it more closely and saw that whenever I am connected (displays LTE on top bar) it disappears after 2-3 seconds. Reappear and then disappear.
I started browsing internet and noticed this connectivity. I thought my data roaming was off ... I enabled it and still the same issue .
Then I checked my preferred connectivity. Like earlier where phones used yo have 2G/3G option. Nexus has only either 2G or 3G , there is no both or 3G/LTE. Anyways, so I selected 3G and since then the internet I'd working fine but I mostly connected to 3G/HSPA+ now rather LTE.
Is this an issue ?
P.S: I am on Fido network and my area is in LTE coverage map.

I have a LG Nexus 5 and i have a strong LTE signal in my area along side HSPA+ if i make a Phone call LTE drops and HSPA is activated while the phone call is over it goes back to LTE in 20 seconds or so.
However if i use data while on HSPA+ mode it seems it wont handoff to LTE seamlessly
Like if you're on Verizon using 3g streaming consistently (not pandora something consistent downloading/upload like tunein radio) it would secretly bump you back to 4G LTE without any problems and stream would continue without even you noticing
T-Mobile however on the other hand doesn't until you stop the data usage and then it bumps back up to LTE
test it out download Tunein radio and stream a station make sure you're on HSPA+/HSPA then while streaming go to a location with like full or best LTE signal. (I went to the mall and drove right under the tower and phone still insists HSPA+)
not sure whats going on here? the Network not telling the phone to handoff? or some internal network issue or an issue with my nexus 5
by the way i am stock android 4.4.2 no root or recovery or whatever
So my question is is there a way to fix this? or is this something i need to email John Legere about?
I have similar issues but for Verizon losing eVDO and going to LTE is probably because EHRPD is making the switch more seamless. However, when my phone switches from HSPA to LTE I drop down to GPRS for a few seconds.

Hi everyone. Quick question. I searched but didn't find much, but I was wanting to use LTE only (*#*#4636#*#*, Phone, LTE Only), and it does work but on Sprint, it disables 1x and pretends like the phone has no coverage and then does the "Searching for Service" and the battery drains like crazy. Any ideas?

That mode disables all voice and texting abilities, I don't think you can use that on a phone, especially not a phone on Sprint.
turn it back, if the phone doesn't think it has a good enough signal to use LTE, trust it and drop to 3G you'll be better off.
Use global setting for Sprint

I don't want 3g though because my phone has the power to get a signal but if it gets down to 1 bar roughly (driving between towers and I'm in a fairly big city so it's not a coverage/reception issue) and it drops to 3g, despite the fact that it'll get stronger if it waits 5 more seconds.
you can not get/make phonecalls on lte only, period. its for data only.
indeed. setting it through the dialer to lte only, makes that lte data channel the only channel, it kills the ehrpd / 1x cdma 200 ip hand-off needed for voice paging to & from the network..
but NOW i know WHY you were forcing lte only via the dialer (didn't know at 1st)
but where you are (if you're on srpint) this is what' was reported happening -
Sprint used to have "same-as-native" 3G service in the western half of Kansas via those carriers, and even used to show it as Native on their coverage maps. Then it changed to Off-Network roaming a couple years ago. They even stopped Native service along I-70 through most of Kansas and eastern Colorado. Sounds like some of those carriers aren't being too accommodating to Sprint nowadays.

i didn't know, the hometown of sprint, was having such a hard time covering, it's own home state..

That's inaccurate for me as I'm in central KS. That only applies for west KS. I'm in a native market with LTE, NV, and band 25 and 26.

ok.. central ks..
what were your settings prior, to lte only?
Just LTE/CDMA. There are times I want to set LTE only so I don't drop 4g. Of course I have service with that setting.

you know, that going via the keypad to set LTE only you'll kill the fall back bridge to 1xrtt voice & evdo 3g, right?
& every time you want to have voice service you'd have to do the toggle to undo LTE only , then when you want it back LTE only ..
you say "you don't want evdo 3g" but the devil in the details are, you'll not have voice service ither, that way..
is it worth that trouble?
