Got the Sirius/XM app. Awesome when it works. However, whenever I'm on 3G or Edge, every once in a while I get an error that says "Failed to Connect". I tap on OK and it tries to connect again. Sometimes it connects and works, and other times it doesn't. It would almost make sense if this happens when I'm moving around or driving, but it's when I'm sitting at my desk at work. I have full bars of 3G service at work.

This doesn't happen when I'm home using wi-fi. Anybody else having anything similar or can shed some light on how to fix this?
 
If you were previously using the app via WiFi, and then the WiFi connection drops (as in when you are away), this will happen. The app then tries to connect via the 3G or Edge connection, and it starts working.

At least, that's what seems to happen to me when I get this error message.

that would make sense to me. i can understand this happening on Edge, but this is 3G with full bars.
