[Q] What is it with Pandora?! - HTC Inspire 4G

Maybe, its just my phone not being flashed properly, but the past few ROMs have had some serious trouble running it stable. With CM7, it constantly hit the skip requiring a reboot to get rid of it. And now even with a modified stock ROM it wont play properly (keeps going to artist station selection). Anybody have an idea as to why this is happening?!

Have you tried clearing the data or reinstalling Pandora? Works fine for me on cm7

I dont think clearing data or reinstalling will work since hes flashed ROMs several times and has the same negative result.
It maybe your data connection.

I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling several times with no luck and the same result as previously stated. Surely the Pandora has been removed since I have to re-enter my login info. Guess I will keep trying. Thanks

I was having the same issues with Pandora and the RCMix ROM. I bet that it had something to do with ad blocking, so I signed up for the Pandora One one day free trial, and Pandora works fine again.

Or just use Slacker, which I think is better than Pandora anyway.

I've been having issues as well. Haven't thought of the ad blocking, but I have tried Pandora One and its the same. Long time between songs, and it will often freeze during a song, and then skip the rest of that song. Have had the issue with both Saga and CoreDroid. Might go back to a Froyo ROM to see if that is the difference.

Data connection maybe the culprit. It does this to me when I loose signal for a short instant. Try Pandora over wifi and see if its still there.

It still does it over WiFi for me

Try the Unlimited Pandora app. No ads, unlimited skips...

[Q] Pandora on the Wi-Fi only Xoom?

Pandora doesn't open properly on my Xoom. I get a window that says:
Sorry!
The application Pandora (process com.pandora.android) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.
Force close........................Report
I have performed both a soft reset and a factory reset and it didn't resolve the issue.
Any ideas?
Just to let you know, I have not had any problems using Pandora, I would check if you have some other media player conflict or possibly a streaming app conflict, another thing to check would be if it is just that your particular WIFI is blocking it for some reason. Try uninstalling media players, streaming applications, and browsers, reset and reinstall Pandora (after you have done the above), if that doesn't work try a different WIFI and see if it is a network issue, a lot of companies are blocking Pandora and any other streaming content. Check to see if it works on the browser and therefore just an app issue.
Edit: After looking more closely at your specific issue I expect that it is an app conflict, this is not definitive, it could still be a streaming conflict, but I would say you have some app that is conflicting with something Pandora is trying to do at startup. This could be a program that has a bad memory clearing function and is not letting go of some process.
Hope this helps.

What does the log say? Pandora should work, but it is very much not made for Tablets
My pandora forecloses sometimes

I am not sure what the issue is but I don't suspect it is my server issue. I have a Droid X and have no problem with Pandora when connected to my same Wi-Fi router.
Very few people currently have the Wi-Fi only Xoom. Those with the 3G Xoom don't seem to have the problem even with data turned off.
I'm having the same issue on my new WiFi only Xoom.
I've tried to uninstall, restart and reinstall. But the problem remains.

This may be a glitch with the Wi-Fi only Xoom. The 3G version folks aren't having the problem with Pandora. I have also performed a factory reset and it didn't help.
I think other people with Wi-Fi only Xooms are reporting this issue.
I also can't get Gasbuddy to work on my Wi-Fi Xoom. The 3G folks say they can get Gasbuddy to work.
Same here with my wifes new wi-fi only, it does work on my 3G, also having issues with slacker, after I login it goes to a black screen

Also having issues with Slacker. Problem with being at the bleeding edge.
Has anyone contacted Pandora? Weird that the Verizon Xoom does not have a problem even if you didn't get a Verizon data plan.

I have contacted Pandora support. They have turned the issue over to their systems engineers.
wifi Xoom here as well having the same issue however I installed the apk of Pandora that came on my Nook Color and it works.
Better interface then the regular version as I assume this was made for tablets, however it doesn't rotate to landscape view its locked to portrait.

Worked great thanks!
So, I would like to know what changed between the 3G and Wi-Fi Xoom.
It may be that Pandora is intentionally breaking the software on the Android platform as they are loosing any assurance of limitation of consumption. i.e. 3G was SOME what of a limiter previously.
They have already 40 limit on the desktop version that does not apply to most if not all Android devices.

I think you may have misplaced your tinfoil hat.
It is probably just getting an unexpected value back from a function since no 3g radio is present and it wasn't designed for that. Who knows though, since nobody has posted a log of the error.

There are several apps that won't work yet. Contact the maker and ask them to update with the latest SDK version.
Same here

I think I found a fix for the WIFI DNS problem! You guys are gonna like this!

There is hope!
First off let me start with this my very first G2X had the reboot issue... got another one, NO MORE REBOOT!
But, I still get the DNS issue, where its connected to WIFI but it would load pages, unless u type its ip adress VS the w w w version.
While I was messing with the phone over the WE i started customizing the phone, dled go launcher and some other app to make the phone pretty...
Came across this... WIDGETSOID.
At first look you wouldn't think that this app would do anything, but it basicaly let you custimize trays, kinda like the power setting one.
Are you guys ready? WIDGETSOID has one option that you can incorporate with the tray, its called DATA SYNC NOW, not data sync, with data sync now it forces the sync AND GET YOU INTERNET!!!!!
Hope that helps!
Well I use WiFi all the time. I use it at work where there is no cell service and at home where I have 4G. I don't disable the cell radio but no issues. I'm on CM7.
I guess you are running stock where Tmo tries to force data over their network. Nice find.
I'm still on the stock ROM, the only time I've had any issues with wifi connectivity is immediately after switching over from T-Mo's data. Like when I come home and my wifi is already switched on and I try to use data just as I walk in the door before its fully switched or before I see the wifi calling icon show up. If I give it a few minutes it will correct itself everytime. On my phone, if the the wifi calling icon is on the task bar then both calling and data are working over wifi.
I have found that the stupid little USA Today app will re-establish data one way or another. When my browser is just spinning it's wheels I can fire up USA Today and a few seconds later the browser will respond again.
Hummm i am still on the stock rom as there is no custom rom stable enough yet...
And I have no data plan...
I hope that this little trick will help ppl with DNS issues =)
Screw Tmo and their data requirement!
set dns from the market does the same thing
Force Sync was a workaround for the Wifi DNS issue but it doesn't work on all phones and it isn't a consistent fix. The only known true resolution is to root (I used SuperOneClick 1.9) and then use either Titanium Backup or Bloat Freezer (I use Bloat Freezer) and freeze the My Account apps. In Bloat Freezer, My Account has 3 entries.

I do have a rooted phone, I uninstalled my account instead of freezing them, but I only had 2 entries and not three... What is the third one?!
Thanks
I only have 2 as well.

Doesn't work for everybody. I've tried the stock rom, rooted and froze them and deleted them. Tried froyo roms, same problem. The only rom that made a difference was the GB leak. I haven't tried cm7 yet.
I think the difference is boat freezer. I first tried titanium backup when the issue hit my phone and it didn't work. Then I used bloat freezer where I saw the third entry. I froze that and all of the other tmo bloat and my phone is now perfect. I do remember reading that you also had to freeze the car app along with my account to get the fix to work.
Unfortunately I don't know what the actual cause is this is just what I have done. I will say that when it comes to tech I'm not a noob. I'm an enterprise architect for a 250k seat shop and I'm an ios dev. But this issue is really unique because for the most part nobody has been able to establish a true root cause.

Is there some magic trick to get market to restore apps!?!?!?

I have been able to randomly get market or android or whatever does it, to restore all my apps and settings. Other times (like right now) I am unable to get them to restore.
WHAT IS THE TRICK!? This is so frustrating.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
As long as you log in to your Google account during phone setup, immediately after flashing, it should auto restore. Personally I avoid the "feature" as it is slow, even on a high speed WiFi connection.
I just can not get it to work. It worked on cm7 nightly but its not on cm7 stable.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
I was able to get it to work by letting it sit before hitting "finish setup". I waited until the little sync icon went away before I hit finish setup.
Then again this was on a slightly different rom so who knows what the culprit was.

Podcast stuck updating in notifications

I had been using pocket cast for my Podcasts. Well as of last night it is stuck in the notification area that it's downloading however I have the app set to only download over wifi.
I have Tryed everything to stop it and it won't stop. I even uninstalled the app.
I fear its affecting my battery. Anyone have any ideas?

Just restart your phone and see if that does the trick
Try downloading Astor file manager and checking if it left any residual data or files . I use double twist to manage my podcast it works great.

I'm suffering with this on my Atrix, which is running 4.1.1
I find that if you go to remove the podcast completely from Pocket Casts, then go to manage your apps (System settings, then Apps), and then stop the download manager it will get rid of the download.
This has only happened to me while on JB, and it's happening with a podcast that used to work fine before (noagenda). I've tried setting it up several times, removing it completely, reinstalling Pocket Casts and reinstalling the JB Rom, but nothing allows me to download noagenda. All other podcasts are working fine, and I can stream the noagenda podcast. I don't know if it's a Pocket Casts issue, JB issue or a podcast specific issue.

[Q] Google Play Store WiFi download super-duper slow

Hi guys, I just done resetting my OPO to everything stock 44S, but when I tried downloading and install back my apps, it was ridiculously slow while downloading the apps. I checked my net is performing perfectly at 20Mbps, but Playstore download apps at 50-100Kbps I was like WTF??? I tried change DNS doesn't work either, but on mobile data is super fast, just like normal just WiFi. I tried my second phone WiFi also slow like hell but watch youtube etc is smooth. Is it possible Google side problem or my ISP problem?
If everything else works fine I would guess it's a Google problem. Or the routing to your place isn't that good? Are you using a VPN?

I was thinking the same thing. I got my OPO last Friday and I've been flashing roms all weekend. I also noticed that the Play Store download speed was ridiculously slow on wifi and LTE. I have AT&T and I also flashed Ark kernel. After about 2-3 hours, no matter what rom I was on, the Play Store apps sped up. I thought my issue had something to do with me going from 11S to 11 to 12 all weekend. (I had to find what worked for me) But it seems that irrespective of the kernel, cm version, and gapps I was using, the dl speed just popped back in gear after time.
Sorry I couldn't be of more assistance but my only solution was time. How long have you let your phone idle?

I think idle time doesn't matter, okay.... I tried with my friend's phone, it's also same, very very slow download speed, so must be Google side...
Like what others have said. If you had another device and play store downloads was also slow. Your home isp probably bad poor routing to the servers causing it to lag.
Some other tips. Disable wifi optimization if you haven't. Toggle wifi on and off and then try a download again. Restart your modem and router.

You can test the speed with a normal dl from a fast Server, bunt i think it was a Google Problem
