Pandora Unstable

Anyone else having issues with pandora freezing/crashing constantly?
Sent from my EVO

Works perfectly fine for me, since I've gotten the phone and on every firmware i've used since then and since rooting.
What instances does it crash? Are you running a stock evo?

I have also had a problem with it crashing/freezing a few times. Not doing anything out of the ordinary and it just happens. Most of the time it will be running by itself. Doesnt happen enough to me for me to take the time to fix it.

Pandora seems to be stable on mine... Ran it for about six hours yesterday

stable for me as well i use it for all my music listening

Mine has been stable since they updated it a week ago or so. But it still seems to crash/freeze every once in a while, but only when its lost data and comes back.

Pandora runs excelent!

mine crashes my phone if its not charging while its playing....

It seems to happen with low signal (either Wifi or cell). Otherwise its stable and functional. FWIW, Slacker Radio does a similar thing. Slacker is less stable than Pandora for me.

Same issue I'm having, sometiems the screen will go black and android will ask me if I want to force it to close. Others it will jsut stop responding and I can't do anything.
I don't think Pandora crashed on me even once on my iPhone.

I've also noticed that Pandora goes crazy in the background trying to stream stuff even if it's been paused for a long period of time.
Load up alogcat and see.

It does it to me even if it is the in the forefront, and was a great 4g or 3G signal.

It may be causing some really bad battery drain because of it's inability to background properly.

If the connection is bad for any reason whatsoever it tends to give issues.
Pandora in general seems to be a memory hog.
If you want another (free) app, try Slacker.
Let me put it this way, I have a premium Pandora account and I still use Slacker on my Evo.
I don't like (what I saw) of Slacker on their website, but the mobile app is awesome.
Also, if you don't mind paying Grooveshark looks to be very good.
Only problem is it's for paying customers, which I am considering trying out - it looks that good!

runs fine use it just bout all day every day

yeah, pandora and slacker on android are not as stable as they are on the iphone

Same problem, I was in a non 3g/4g area, so it was regular tower bandwidth. I think it happens a lot when you have very low signal.

Lack of captivate issues

My phone works perfect. My gps tracks perfectly through the woods and in my house I get 15' accuracy when running a GPS test. My phone doesn't randomly shutdown. Actually both of my captivates have the same lack of issues.
Wait, nope I did have one issue. I removed GTalk after I rooted and flashed Cognition to fix it, without enabling lagfix.
Am I alone in this? Are there other people who don't have problems?
I love the developers here, they constantly are working on improving perceived issues and do it without whining about inferior products or people. Oh and they do it for free.
Thank god for developers.

thumbs up!
go devs!

I think you're in denial or you just aren't OCD enough to realize the phone does have flaws. Mostly due to laziness in design by Samsung, not enough testing. I have an inside source saying the entire Samsung Development team was frying on mushrooms when working on this...

After Paragon RC4 fixed my GPS issue I can't think of any problem my phone has and I hammer away on it all day. I have build 1008.

1 shut down when I first bought the phone. Going on 3 months (of ownership) now, with no issues. Of course I suppose a lot of the credit goes to Cognition 3.04 for being a great stable rom

yeah my gps is great... if im walking.. not if im driving.
no shutdown issues though.
had denied access though when trying to use "usb storage mode" returned phone. no issues with new one except gps...

I've been very fortunate as well. GPS isn't perfect, but got me around downtown Philadelphia perfectly just yesterday.
Phone is rooted, with stock rom. Removed AT&T bloatware. Using K-9 for mail, Dolphin HD for browser and of course advanced task killer.
No shutdowns, battery gets me through the day. Worst thing is the new Android Market, which is much slower than the previous versions.
I am a Samsung fan, having progressed from a Sammy flip phone, to the Blackjack, to the Jack, to my Captivate, so I am a bit biased. Folks in the office have several Verizon models, including an older HTC model, an Incredible, and a Droid 2. Each one has a few quirks, so take it for what it's worth

Never had any issues here, either.

My GPS works perfectly too; I get 1.2 m accuracy in my house which is surrounded by trees . . . but only since I started using a TomTom Wireless MKII (bluetooth) receiver.
It's funny how the MKII which was designed and built 5 years ago can get a lock in my house in a few seconds when the Captivate's built-in GPS always takes 248 seconds to lock under better conditions (outside). I wonder if that metal case back is a problem . . . hmmmmm

Listen to the audio of a video recording.

you are aware that using a task killer is a waste of time... right? it is totally unneeded on android.
http://geekfor.me/faq/you-shouldnt-be-using-a-task-killer-with-android/

So, honestly, I've had more issues with custom roms than with the phone at stock. I've had weird mass storage problems, GPS lock quality, force closes, strange wifi lock ups that require a reboot or a complete dump of programs in ram, data network loss until a reboot, just to name the major ones.
With the stock software, even though there was a crap ton of bloat, the phone worked. Sure, there was random lag, and the GPS took a little longer to lock(up to 1min), but when it did, it never had issues with maps or navigation like it does now, where the program thinks I'm driving in a river, or suddenly changed directions going 80 on the interstate. The mass storage worked better also, as did BT audio.
I gained speed and customization with the roms from this community, but it was essentially trading one issue for another.

Your GPS works cause you're in the woods. Try skyscrapers... then you'll have a fun time with that GPS unit.
That's good that you like it though. Never let someone convince you its broken if it ain't...

You're not alone.
GPS has worked for me from day one (I bought it on launch day), literally. My first full day with the phone I flew to another state, had no clue about the area and it got me everywhere I needed to go.

any gps receiver wll have issues with multipath. There is nothing that can fix, actual yes, remove tall building which are close to each other

My original phone worked fine at first, then developed the random shutdown issue. It was bone stock. I tried rooting, ROMing, etc to fix it, but it still shutdown.
I exchanged it for a "refrubed replacement" 12-31-2010. I left the replacement stock for almost a month to make sure it was going to work right before I did any mods. The shutdown issue was gone, and the GPS worked great.
I was hesitant to flash it cuz it was working and stable. But I had already had a taste of custom roms so I couldn't bear leaving it stock forever.
Flashed different roms, different kernels, numerous different modems etc.... So far so good.
No issues yet. But now that I said something it'll probably die on me tomorrow!

I do live in a small city(Fayetteville NC which is a small town compared to Philly) but driving in Raleigh and Dallas I don't have any issue. (bought my phone in dallas) Driving or walking or running it just works. Alsk I get lock in less then 20 seconds which is pretty average for a lot of gps devices I have used. (well not the military PLGR which seemed to take 30minutes to lock)
I thought about it and there is one thing I do with a custom rom I didn't do with stock: live background.
Cognition was ok but now I'm running Phoenix Rising.
Great dev community in XDA all around, and if I hadn't removed GTalk I would never have tried one of these roms.
And for playing video or media I get issues with 1080 files but everything else works good enough for a phone. Yeah a phone, compared to an Ipod touch or Zune Hd or a computer it isn't as good but I also can't make phone calls on some or fit the other in my pocket which makes this Captivate a great device.

Right on about the multipath! I wonder how many GPS complaints are from this.
Heh like listening to the radio or watching old school pre-HD tv in a city.

The only issue I had with stock cappy is it would not connect to pc. I tried every driver under the sun, on xp, vista, and even bought windows 7. Nada. My wifes would connect immediately. So I just made att swap it out for a new one and it works perfectly. I really didn't care until I got tired of waiting on froyo and decided to flash. I wanted a backup on my pc so I called att and did a swap. 3 days later I flashed my first rom. Now my OTA download rate is faster than my dsl, so I'm sticking it to att by dl'ing over their network.

My wife and son also have Captivates, both stock. They got them in November 2010.
My wife's has been fine for the most part but has shutdown maybe 3 times over the months. She has opted not exchange it yet since the shutdowns have been very rare. Her GPS works fine but is a little slow to lock.
My son's just started shutting down over the last week or so. It's to the point we are probably going to have to take it in for an exchange.

[Q] MLB At Bat 2011 for XT720

Ok so I am wanting to get this app for the hefty price of $14.99 so I can listen to games while I am at work. The problem is that in the market reviews section, it is all EVO this and No Video that or why does Apple get video and Android constantly gets the nob of the bat.
My question is if anyone knows someone using this app on Motorola XT720 with stock 2.1 ROM (which the app supports) and if they are happy with it or knows the problems and the work arounds? There seems to be issues with the audio popping and cracking and all the EVO users have chimed in that Sprint has a work around. CBW is usually less than helpful in these instances.
Anyone know if it works for us XT720'ers? MLB has the pre-packaged response that new updates will occur at opening day, they are cryptic as to what they may be.

E-mail the devs of the apps
Sent from my XT720 using XDA App

So I tool the plunge and spent the cash. Needless to say it works flawlessly on my phone at work and at home. I work in downtown Cincinnati so coverage can be spotty at best. I get a good signal. Guy 3 cubes away has IPhone 4 thru att and can't get his to runat all.
Devs are MLB, so they have had canned responses to everyone that has emailed them.
If you just want to listen to games and use the other parts of the app, I say go for it. Seems that the only problem is the video being grainy, choppy and not synched with audio. Since I don't use video, no worries.
Tip: If you want to keep battery temp down, keep screen off when listening to game. And it sucks your battery dry, so I listen while plugged in.
Good luck if you dare. Works for me though.

[Q] Does your music stutter?

I am about at my wits end and ready to sell this thing because my music stutters sometimes when multitasking. It happens most often when using the browser (open new tab, clink a link in an app that sends me to the browser, etc) but also occasionally happens just switching applications.
This happens when using the stock player with my own local .mp3 files as well as when streaming using either Pandora or Spotify.
I feel like I'm back in the days of my old Pentium I / Win 95 machine and I just don't think this should be happening.
Is anyone else experiencing this? Any tips on what to try? My next things to try are factory refresh and also a different music player (although I don't this will have any effect). I also have thought about getting an app from the market that will tell me cpu usage.
This is a WiFi only xoom, still stock, but soon to be rooted if I decide to actually keep it. I've had it for I guess 2 weeks and the audio stutter is one of the first things I noticed and is actually a big deal breaker for me since the main reason I bought the thing was so I could listen to music, watch movies, and browse the web. I'm just not sure if I got a lemon or not. It otherwise seems fine.

Factory reset should do it. Everybody says back up your apps but I never do. I like to go on the search for apps anyways

I get this as well. Bit annoying. Hope ics fixes it.

My music stutters like every two minutes. Even if the phone is resting
Droooooiiid.. the sound forever in our hearts and nightmares <3

same problem here. Since the very first day. I really hate it and every update I was hopeful that it will be fixed. Well, ICS is my next big hope...as long as it is a software issue

If it really bothers you that bad use a diff player from the market. When I use one it no longer stutters.. but i m a fan of the stock player otherwise

Have the same issue on my Xoom. Doesn't happen on my Galaxy Tab 10.1 though....
Sent from my GT-P7510 using xda premium

Happens to me with the default music but not Slacker or Pandora. Hmm...

Thanks for the replies. I guess I will have to try a factory reset. I'm using power amp player and still have the problem just like with the stock app. Power amp has an option to move to a larger buffer, which I'm hoping will help, at least for my local files. If not, factory reset is next.
Seems like a device with these hardware specs shouldn't have this issue though.

I think its not the hardware more the fact that honeycomb is a bodge job just to get into the tablet market.

Yes, this happens to me and is annoying. I try to ignore it so I don't remind myself I have a 600 dollar tablet that can't play music and browse at the same time

OK, I now have used Set DNS and set my wifi to Google DNS and get much faster downloads and that seems to have really helped with this music stuttering issue while browsing. I used both the updated PowerAMP app playing mp3s from my micro sdcard, and also streamed music using Rhapsody and no stuttering, no effect whatever, as I surfed. I don't know if this will help you, but it seems to have solved this problem for me.

Thanks I may try to give that a try. I don't really know how to do any of that, but I'm sure I can figure it out with google.
The $600 tablet that can't play music and browse comment is exactly why I have a dilemma. I wooted the xoom so I would have to sell it at whatever loss plus spend the extra $250 over what I paid for the xoom to get an iPad 2 of the same capacity of 32 GB. Even the 16 GB iPad 2 is still $150 more. Not that money is the issue, I'll spend the extra if I deem it worth it, but I just feel like the tablet market is changing quickly enough that who knows in 6 months to a year I'll probably want to get a different one any way, no matter whether I have a xoom or an ipad 2 right now. I really have grown to like the xoom and don't want to get rid of it over basically this one issue, and it's not like I can't get around the music stuttering issue by using my ipod or phone. I guess it's just that I feel I shouldn't *have* to do that.

The Xoom is really an awesome device and I think it will actually get better with a bit more time. Its problems basically are related to software and there are some solutions now and more coming. The DNS thing is something I hadn't bothered with but I saw something about that app (ugliest icon ever) in Android Police so I checked it out--very easy to set either Google DNS or Open DNS or another, depending on what works for you. I think the app requires root, but you can probably find a way to change it if you're not. I recommend rooting anyway, for a smoother and richer user-controlled experience.

Thought I would just revive this thread and say that I'm really glad I held on to my XOOM because I've been running some of the ICS builds and haven't had any music stutters. I had one moment of music "crash" where the music makes an awful buzz sound for a moment, which is because of using the equalizer built into the music player on ICS. I've had it multiple times on my GNex and it is already widely noted that equalizer may cause music to do this. But as of yet, fingers crossed, I haven't had a single stutters on music when multitasking. It would happen most often upon clicking links in a program that would then open the browser. I haven't done a ton of testing, but have listened to music for a good 4 hours now on my XOOM with EOS ICS while surfing and installing apps and what not and haven't had any stuttering.
In general ICS has made this tablet 10x more awesome than it was to start for me. It was a bit of a disappointment at first, has grown on me with time as I accepted it's shortcomings, but now with ICS is a tablet I'm excited and proud to own. Can't wait for official ICS and more ICS roms.

[Q] Bluetooth and audio sync

Hello All,
First time, long time.
I bought a TF101 2 months ago...love the damn thing. Unfortunately after ICS my bluetooth (LG HBS-700) headset is now out of sync with videos. I have tried:
-mx player
-stock player
-cold boot
-fresh install
-different video formats
-equalizer/non equalizer
Unfortunately nothing works. Is there a way to fix this manually or is this a driver/ics issue? I travel alot for work and the TF has saved my sanity multiple times.
My TF is stock, no custom roms or anything of the sort. ICS is a great update other than this, so i cant really complain just yet Just a minor nuisance but its pretty high up on my day to day activities. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

bluetooth out of sync
same problem. Tot my headset was broken so I tried another bt headset and still the same problem. Hopefully, we can have another update for ICS.

I have the same exact headset, not sure if it's the headset or the tablet because i bought the LG headset after i got ics. But my problem is that the media connection disconnects randomly and refuses to reconnect. I have to reboot the tablet and repair the bluetooth headset. Can anyone else confirm that bluetooth (more specifically stereo bluetooth) has major issues in ICS?

Same problem here, I have tried three bt headsets, multiple video players and various file types and there is big audio lag in everything.
I am running Ricardo's CM9. Is there anyone who can look into this or is it something that Asus is going to have to fix?

Just wanted to say that I'm having the same audio delay problem on my Galaxy Nexus running Bugless Beast 4.0.4 and I'm using that LG headset too. It must just be a problem with ICS. Hopefully we'll get an update to fix it soon!

Same here with the roms
Same problems here, Using asus slider 101 with revolver rc2, and android revolution 3.2.1, everything's so fast and really good, but the audio lag kills it, if I use grooveip on it, they'll often overlap, in servere cases I have to reboot the device, so for now I'll just use grooveip and any video player with direct connection to the device, and use the bluetooth for music and such...
I just hope the great rom chefs can come up with a solution, heck It might be the ICS itself, being that it is in it's "baby" state...
It seems to this day, a lot of people are working for a fix on this, some say it's an asus thing, others say it's ICS, it seems that the issue is stemming from a incorrect value, here's a quote from one site:
"The root cause of the issue seems to be incorrect reporting of the A2DP HAL
(android_audio_hw.c) latency to AudioFlinger. The following 'in progress'
patch seems to make things better."
There used to be a patch floating around to try to fix the issue but, weather it'll solve it is beyond me because the patch disappeared along weather it worked or not.
Other sites are trying to resolve the issue themselves simply because asus is tight-lipped about it, or they're trying to solve it in due time...

For those that have the problems, are you rooted and have you tried another rom? I use the same headset as well as a moto S305 and theres no sync issues at all in bsplayer, diceplayer, stock player, netflix, and basically all the music apps that i use, ranging from 128kbps mp3s to flac files. Currently running Revolver 4 RC2 with Guevor's 17c kernel, on a B40 chassis. I didn't bother with the ota itself so i can't say if my machine has the same issues on stock, though Revolver is based on the OTA rom so i'm curious if there was some kind of tweak between the OTA and Revolver that made that problem go away.

I'm using Revolver 4 RC2, as I said before. It's definitely fully rooted, using guevor's kernel test 18e, I have 2 bluetooth devices with the same issue, a sony mw600 bluetooth stereo headset, and a htc brand ad2p stereo headset.
both have the same issue, worked fine in honeycomb, both stock and mod (revolver honeycomb, TF 3.11).
It might be a bluetooth model issue as you don't have the lag, as for the tweak, that part I don't know... I'll try to use guevor's kernel 17c though... I'll let you know how it turns out...
@3kgt
my issue is that the audio lag, the connection is fine though.

Well i gave mine to the store and used final days of warranty!
Mine did connect without problems, but no sound at all.

And yet a nother uknown BT Speakers..

i'm using team EOS ICS stable version, and a Logitech Bluetooth speakers.
i can connect and hear the audio, there maybe a 1/2ms sec delay. i never noticed till you asked so maybe i'm just seeing things?
i tested playing youtube and watching movies on mx player.

Tried it, same issue...
Well, I reinstalled revolver ics 4.0.2, wiped cache, and dalvik cache, the op runs smoother than before with guevor's kernel 17c and no SODs (so far...), but the 2/3 ms delay is still there, let me clarify a bit on it.
Any app that makes sounds (mx player, poweramp, mixzing, stock player, angry birds, etc.) will have that delay on the asus slider sl101 running ICS, worse if I use voip apps like grooveip, it's only tolerable without bluetooth...
I can use bluetooth on Poweramp and mixzing since I'm only listening to music.
Well that the issue I have...
Can't do much on my end but wait...

Same
Same issue here since upgrading my Sony Tablet to ICS.

I've had exactly the same problem with my TF101 on any form of ICS that I've tried. An unacceptable audio delay to my Sennheiser MM-100 bluetooth headphones. No problem for music, but I can't watch video like this. The only cure I have found is to run a good HC ROM - at the moment it's Revolver 3.11.1, the more I use it the more I like it. Is ICS really worth it? Maybe for some uses; but mine is primarily for watching video when I go camping, a bit of internet and some games. And Revolver is perfect for that. It even recognises my 64GB SDXC card; which my Win7 64bit 6 core has problems doing.

I have found the most simple way to resolve this
I Will simply Sell my damn Tf101 !
Cause i cant watch most videos (Thanks to tegra 2 and codecs problems)
And now this damn BT problem ..

Same here...

yeah I practically did the same thing, only difference, I gave it to one of my family members, after I experience lots of system flaws other than the problem I have such as increased slowness (sometimes unresponsive), and large battery drain, on all roms... though the last (and pretty stable) rom I tried was android revolution, it's quicker, but some programs would crash and eventually become so annoying that I had to uninstall them. but that might be a slider issue and not the transformer issue as most devs are more focused on the transformer... I pretty much tried many things to it to at least be more in sync with my bluetooth but upon doing that I must've screwed the pad in the process and now it just no good no matter what rom I tried, be it the official asus firmware, or a custom firmware... As I said, android revolution was the last rom I tried and everything seemed real smooth and accurate but I couldn't cope with the issues the slider has. so in short, ditched the slider, and I'm going for either Samsung galaxy pad 2, or Motorola xoom... both 32gb internal memory... Well it's sad really but what can you do when a company fails on you hard...
UPDATE:
I just went to an electronics giant to try out the asus infinity by playing some games on it and syncing to my headset only to have the same issue with the lag... looks like this is strictly a maker's issue, no way anybody here can fix that, though I haven't seen if it was happening on JB, but I'm not taking that chance... got the note 2 and I'm good with that for now.. also I've noticed that some movies play with little or without the lag, this problem varies though on what type of movie you're playing, as I couldn't tell what causes that. I play mkv, avi, mpg and mov files via MXplayer I got both results, lag and non lag, same goes for native mp4 files. so this is with my knowledge and understanding way too difficult to pinpoint weather it's a codec problem or hardware problem or both.
Hope this shed a bit of know-how as I just gave up on it the time I gave it away...
otherwise have fun on an otherwise great innovation...

I pretty much tried many things to it to at least be more in sync with my bluetooth but upon doing that I must've screwed the pad in the process and now it just no good no matter what rom I tried, be it the official asus firmware, or a custom firmware... As I said, android revolution was the last rom I tried and everything seemed real smooth and accurate but I couldn't cope with the issues the slider has. so in short, ditched the slider, and I'm going for either Samsung galaxy pad 2, or Motorola xoom... both 32gb internal memory... Well it's sad really but what can you do when a company fails on you hard...
UPDATE:
I just went to an electronics giant to try out the asus infinity by playing some games on it and syncing to my headset only to have the same issue with the lag... looks like this is strictly a maker's issue, no way anybody here can fix that, though I haven't seen if it was happening on JB, but I'm not taking that chance... got the note 2 and I'm good with that for now.. also I've noticed that some movies play with little or without the lag, this problem varies though on what type of movie you're playing, as I couldn't tell what causes that. I play mkv, avi, mpg and mov files via MXplayer I got both results, lag and non lag, same goes for native mp4 files. so this is with my knowledge and understanding way too difficult to pinpoint weather it's a codec problem or hardware problem or both.
Hope this shed a bit of know-how as I just gave up on it the time I gave it away...
otherwise have fun on an otherwise great innovation...

Hi I own a note 2 and meet same issue. Sound delay 1 second while using bluetooth headphone(Creative WP-250). Watch movie with mix player get 0 lag, but watching online movie or playing video game always delay 1 second. I think it belongs to android design problem because I connect my Bluetooth headphone with my iPad no matter what I do I can't find any lag. Would google notice this issue and fix it in the next update?

I went to one of the google offices in San Francisco (nice office by the way!), but did not find anybody there to help on the issue, plus I don't think they'll do anything yet until the problem becomes widely known. If anything they'll just say that the problem lies on the device (bluetooth or phone/pad itself) and not the os as most other companies would do. As did you, I found that problem on the note 2 a while ago, almost as soon as I got it, I figured the features on the phone outweigh the issues on bluetooth and I might as well wait and see if they are able to locate the source of the problem and try to solve it as best as they can...
I'll go back to them since I haven't seen any of the top brass there since they're either in a meeting at the time or they're located elsewhere..
I'll also try to let ASUS and Samsung know about the issue in case that the problem lies on hardware, but that may seem unlikely...

I expect 4.22 would resolve this issue as Samsung is going to release their update very soon. By the way, I never thought you could visit Google office

Yea, they're real nice when I came in, but couldn't do much, I'll visit again before the end of the month, going back to work, hopefully I can reach them before then, If anything I'll keep my fingers crossed in hope that they'll fix the issue without my interaction...
