Pandora keeps crashing on my Ozone (WM 6.1) - General Questions and Answers

I recently found the .cab file for the Pandora app. which was originally intended for devices using the Windows Mobile 6 OS. I used it on my Ozone knowing full well that there isn't a tailored Pandora app. for the WM 6.1 OS. Pandora doesn't give my device access to any downloads since the website doesn't support my phone. I had to download the Pandora program i currently have from a third party vendor ( a link from the forums here).
It works fine until about 3 minutes in to EVERY song it disconnects. The Pandora program never leaves the screen but the music ends and there is a prompt notifying me of Pandora reconnecting. Once reconnecting a new song starts and the whole thing repeats.
It probably isn't the network. I've tried turning off my data and just using Wi-Fi and still get the same result.
Anyone hear of anything like this? Any ideas? I'm a newb. This is my first smart phone. I have no idea what is going on right now.

bump.... same problem here

I am having the same issue with my Ozone.

Same problem here
You nailed it... about 3 minutes and then it reconnects. Streams AWESOME otherwise.
I figured the suggestion in a post I found about changing the tcp port would fix it, but I couldn't get Advanced Configuration to work on the ozone... Installed .net compact 3.5 framework and it still gave an error when starting it up (one that was much more complicated then just ".net compact 3.5 isn't installed). So, I never got to try changing the tcp port.
Anyone have any ideas about this?

Scratch that...
Ok, so I think I figured out that it has been coincidence that it reconnected the first several times after 3 minutes. The real culprit seems to be emails. I just listened to a full song (greater than 3 minutes) and had no problems. Now, listening to a new song, my phone picked up an email and then a matter of seconds later pandora started reconnecting.

sleep of death

any one else getting it? unit goes in to standby and then wont wake up you have to soft reset.
ive been getting it frequently very anoying im using the big storage rom i dont rember who made it i can find out of some one wants to know
but is any one else having problems like me?
No problems here. I'm using the clean 1978 ROM...
I had it happen yesterday, running the stock AT&T ROM.
Hi
No problems here either.
It's worth remembering the phone wakes itself up about once an hour, although the display is dark so you will not see this happening.
If you have installed some software that doesn't handle this switching on very well and it crashes the phone, it will look the phone has died in standby, but it probably hasn't, it just looks that way.
I would advise a clean reset and not to install any programs, and see if it happens again. If it does your phone may be faulty, for example a memory problem that surfaces when the phone goes into a low power state.

Mine SOD'ed last night. I was using the phone, turned the screen off using the power button, then plugged it into my computer USB to charge. I was trying to do it one-handed and as you could imagine I was fiddling with the cable/phone for 30 seconds before I got the mini-usb plug into the phone. I watched to see the charging light come on but it didn't. I then tried to turn on the phone and realized I was SOD'ed. It only happens to me once every 1-2 weeks. My phone runs the stock Tilt ROM, but with lots of custom cabs installed, ie:
HTC Home 6 button
HTC Taskmanager 2.0 30995
Skype
Color Dot battery indicator
Schaps 10 Button Comm manager
PocketCM
Funambol 6.5.4
I push my phone all day long, surfing, ssh'ing into servers with putty, imap email, playing music etc, and I think if there was a bad memory issue Id see something other than an SOD. IMHO,theres a bug in the power management software.
SOD happened on my Tilt too. Im runnig the ATT rom. I had the same problem with the 8525 with the earlier ROM. The problem is IMAP email push. IF you use IMAP there is a chance you will get SOD once in a while. I changed all my emails to POP3 never had SOD since then.
I think you guys have to run the kaiser tweek to turn off the sleep mode in the registry. I had the SOD once....forgot to modify the registry via the kaisertweak app. 1st 2 options i think is what you have to modify.....that should fix you guys up.
Happened With Me too !!!
Now after using my at&t tilt flashed with HTC stock rom for 5 days, suddenly today my device suffered from a SOD.... had to soft-reset.... tried to figure out what went wrong but without any luck..... do any of u guys figured out the cause.... Kaiser Tweak only allows us to disable the sleep mode during call.....
kaiser falling sleep happens to me so frequently that I read all the posts with the key words KAISER FREEZE on xda-developers.
The only solution seems to power off and on again.
On modaco.com somebody posted a small applet which does automatically the power on-off for you.
Of course this does not remove the problem, just hide it...
Additionally I have tried 4 different WWE ROMS! from Att to HTC original ROMS to cooked Helmi aka 0.7.0 etc... No way to solve.
Please if modifying the registry can solve, can somebody post the link for kaiser tweaks and possibly the application?
Thanks

I think it might have something to do with Windows Live Maps program. This happend to me everytime I was using the program in the background. I upgraded the version and it stopped the problem I was having.

Same here... I upgraded to helmi_c's Tilt ROM and haven't had the problem since. Pretty much guarantted though, if you leave Live Search running in the background and your phone goes to sleep... it will not wake up with the stock ATT ROM (at least with the current version of Live Search).
Cheers!!
SOD has typical been associated with running programs off of a Storage card. I had tons of SOD problems with the early WM6 Hermes ROMs. So far I have only had SOD a few times on my Tilt (running austinsync's BigStorage ROM). I installed Google maps to my microSD and within 20 minutes had 3 SODs. I uninstalled it and they stoppped immediately (Live Search is way better anyway).
I would recommend installing any programs that you use heavily or leave running onto the main memory. Also, saving attachments to a storage card has been a known cause as well.
I think SOD issues will get better as more ROMs start coming out for the Kaiser (and the chefs keep cooking).
OK, this keeps happening to me with the AT&T ROM....today it happened with no programs running in the background, anybody figure out a solution yet?
Me too
well I've had this problem also while running my own cooked rom, however to be fair i had this problem in the early days of the hermes. I thought however that the hermes problem was related to activesync's push email and the data connection (i.e. switching between 3G and 2G alot making activesync trip out) That all said maybe I'm barking up the wrong tree?!
Oh just in case anyone as the time to investgate this problem, I do know the Toshiba G900 had alot of problems with SOD inwhich tosh releases a fix for...... maybe if someone was to look at what that fixed it could help us here? have a read here > www.my900.com
Kaiser won't power back up
My unit after reset won't either power up or down with the power button. Everything still functions.
I found that if I have the power charger connected it works fine, so I thought I had a weak battery. Got a new battery and same thing.
Don't know what's going on, but if you do a soft reset with the charger plugged in, it will reset fine.
Hope someone figures this out!
Be careful overconfiguring...

This might be the case, but I tried calling my phone when it SOD'd and didn't get a ring (it rang on the phone I was calling from.) I bet the problem is installed programs conflicting somehow, maybe kaisertweak will fix it in the future.
I can't guess what causes it tho...
For now, I'm running Kyphur's XDA Live and it has yet to happen.

I was running Kypher's Tilt XDA-Live v 1.0 (AWSOME) with several custom cabs including PocketCM and was getting the SOD every time. I wiped the phone and started adding all of my cabs one at a time and all of them are loaded back in except PocketCM and since then i have not seen a single SOD.
Tim
I've noticed that I get the SOD a LOT more when I have bluetooth active. Not sure if that's just coincidental but literally the only time I've noticed the SOD has been when I've had BT enabled.
Happens to me a few times a week very annoying.
Well, I don't do emails, use Windows live, have pocketCM, used my bluetooth, tried Google maps, or have any programs on my sd card (basically whatever you all mentioned above, I don't have or do!), and still get SOD. So I guess I start backtracking. Sigh...

wm6 wmp stutter issue...

i posted this over in the excalibur forum (i'm using an s620) but haven't gotten any response so i thought i'd post here as well as i'd really like to resolve this and i can't find any thread indicating similar problems.
i'm using an s620 smartphone (not pocket pc) and i get a stutter in my audio once every song (at a random point during playback). it's just a short stutter but it happens every song.
i've tried the latest htc rom and the lates rogers rom thinking it might have something to with that... but it's not as it happens with both roms.
i've also tried playing back from both the mem stick and the phone itself and it's the same either way.
i've also tried playing back with both wmp and tcpmp (or whatever that other one is called). same in either program.
i also tried loading some 128k files on there and get the same results. i was running 320k files before so thought maybe that was the problem. unfortunately not.
would really appreciate some help in this one.
thanks!
anyone? please?
On my samsung i600 the same thing happens when the display is set to timeout in Settings>Display>Homescreen>Timeout.
Set this to Never and try again
By not with every song.

Problem with Youtube App

I have been using the YouTube app since I got the phone and have been impressed. However when I used it today I notice that it is no longer producing preview pictures for the videos. To the left of the screen it used to generate a picture of the video, today however all I get is a dark grey box with a white TV symbol.
I have been playing around with the phone a lot, so thought it might have been something I'd done or installed, however I have done a hard reset and it is still happening.
Is this something to do with my phone or the YouTube service?
Anyone got any ideas?
I got the same problem. The first week it displayed the photo`s, but now ( the second week ) it wont display the pictures anymore...
my youtube just doesn't wok full stop. every time i start it, it just says '' there is no network connection right now, please try again later
any suggestions?
no connection? turn of proxyserver
I have the same problem with the preview pictures, so i guess the problem is on the youtube server side..
For the connection problem:
go to settings > connections > connections > "adjust my proxy server " or something like that. (mijn proxy server instellen in dutch)
Try turning off /removing the proxyserver there. (i had this problem with the preinstalled vodafone proxyserver. I removed it and everything works now)
i hope this works for you
Same for me, only worked for the first few days now I do not get the preview and I am not using a proxy server my connection is through wifi
I've tried reloading t-mobs settings and everytime i load youtube it still tells me that it has no network connection
i've tried having the phone using the automatic proxy setting and tried with it off (having it off is the only way that Msn will work as well, when i had it on, msn said there was no connection. so i guess it was something to do with that, however it wasn't)
should i try to reinstall youtube app? if so, where do i get the CAD?
ahhh soo annoying, really want to start hitting youtube when i have free time in class but no luck
This and the battery are the only faults i'm having with the TD2 (battery is still just as bad as the TD.
I carried out a hard reset and still found youtube previews not working.
me too ! no previews with Duttys HD 3.0 youtube player . I went back to youtube player v 1.6, without success, still no preview . Does anybody have the last version 2.5 wvga as a cab file to return back to the latest version, please ? Thank you.
hans
sorry, double post
Very strange!! it's started working again
Same here, it stopped working after a few days but just now I tried again & its working. Weird
Not so weird if it was something at Google's end that was the problem and they now fixed it. It's been reported on the HD forum to so not linked to the TD2.
Can confirm mine working too now.... thought it was something to do with T-mobile but was obviously 'booble'.
G
I have had no problems with the youtube app running at all. The thing with the pictue of the video not showing is due to it not fully loading. Bad reception I guess. Happened when I had like 2 bars.
I'm on T-mobile US so only have edge and it's worked pretty well. App works better than on my Elfin.
I also confirm it's back again today

booting andriod on raphael

I had been wanting to try out the actual android OS but not really wanting to buy a whole new phone (and plan because in America android phones are not on every network) and I found this site telling me how to get android on my phone
http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/how-to-install-google-android-on-a-windows-mobile-phone/
So I went for it
on the first boot the sound and mic did not work and every thing crashed and needed to be force quit repeatedly. so I booted back into windows
the next day I decided to give it another try and this time the sound worked but the mic was still not responsive. the internet seemed faster as well.
today the mic and the sound work the internet is smooth, but the "long press" of the home button does nothing, so I cannot tell if some thing is already open with out going into the terminal and killing the process, which works most of the time but a few things will not show up in the terminal as running and I do not know if that is because how I exited them shut them down or if they are just not showing up all the time.
So are these errors due to android not being set up for the fuze?
and does any one have any tips on fixing them?
also this site has alot of good info
http://www.androidonhtc.com/
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=577736
They have a few builds that work pretty well on the raphael. I've tried it on my Fuze and if i rember right calling worked okay but couldn't send messages. Haven't tried the latest build yet though.

Bluetooth audio streaming problems after Oreo Update

Well I just upgraded to new Oreo and guess what? I can't use my Bluetooth headset anymore (Blue Tiger Elite). The audio gets distorted or breaking up. Failing to connect or disconnect to/from the phone. Was working fine before update. Tinkering Bluetooth settings in developer mode didn't help since they will stay unchanged after you open the menu again.
Have anyone encountered same problem?
When im paired up with the stereo in my work truck i noticed a pop every now and then.

Audio streaming on Nougat for me was perfect all the time, now since my Oreo update I've experienced constant stuttering and/or growly distortion for a moment at least every ten seconds. Also 'Settings' keeps closing whenever I'm accessing any of my apps when changing permissions for example. It couldn't even pull up my app list, so I've done a backup and deleted at least 300 of my apps, and only now things are slightly better. I don't understand why everything is lagging so much now when before the update, all was perfect.. Help?

Try factory reset, it worked for me. Good luck!
Yes, I'm having the same issue with bluetooth connection and the same Blue Tiger Elite. Just got off the phone with Verizon tech person he is thinking my headset is old enough technology that it won't stay connected.
