stream music in android using mobile data and not wifi

Question

I have developed a music app that streams from an url. It seems to work fine on wifi connection but does not buffer on mobile 3G (i.e the song does not play).The code inside onClickListener for play/pause button is-

private OnClickListener TumHiHo = new OnClickListener() {

    @Override
    public void onClick(View v) {

        if (!playPauseTumHiHo) {
            tumhihobtn.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.button_pause);
            if (initialStartTumHiHo)
            {  mediaPlayer.stop();
            mediaPlayer.reset();
            initialStartSunRahaHaiNa=true;
            initialStartTumHiHo=false;
            new Player()
                        .execute("http://sound30.mp3slash.net/indian/aashiqui2/[Songs.PK]%20Aashiqui%202%20-%2001%20-%20Tum%20Hi%20Ho.mp3");
            loadDocTumHiHo();
            chkStatus();

            }else {
                if (!mediaPlayer.isPlaying())
                    mediaPlayer.start();
            }
            playPauseTumHiHo = true;
        } else {
            tumhihobtn.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.button_play);
            if (mediaPlayer.isPlaying())
                mediaPlayer.pause();
            playPauseTumHiHo = false;
        }
    }
};

The chkStatus() is to test whether user is using mobile data or wifi.

Manifest file has-

 <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
 <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />

The logcat shown is as-

I don't know whether the problem is with my mobile's network or with the app. If it's the app please let me know where I might be going wrong. Thanks in advance.

Try replacing this code with your method

new Player().execute("http://sound30.mp3slash.net/indian/aashiqui2/[Songs.PK] Aashiqui 2 - 01 - Tum Hi Ho.mp3");
