Pandora crashing for anyone?

I use Pandora alot but lately its been just stopping for no reason. When it crashes it crashes in a way I have to go into my process manager and kill it because it's protected and restart it. I've used Pandora since it hit the market. Anyone have suggestions or an alternative until they fix it? Btw i'm on 2.2 and I've uninstalled and reinstalled several times.

Pandora is pretty crappy on android. I've encountered the exact thing since I started using it in February.
I think you're just gonna have to wait until they get their head out of apple's ass and update the app so it functions.

I'm on 2.2 and use pandora and have never had it f/c. the only program I am trying to run on 2.2 and can't because it force closes is shapewriter (btw it is not 2.2 compatible yet)
Is the version of pandora you are using the "-1"?
also make sure that it is not installed on the memory card...I had a few fc's with programs that i put there

Pandora rarely force closes. It just stops. You can exit it, but it won't start going again until you go into a process manager and kill the service.

yeah its not foreclosing it's just stopping which is annoying because it usually waits till a song I actually want to hear pops up.
@JCopernicus Ive never had a problem with pandora until the this past weekend.

yeah i confirm this too, i usually dont even download music because i use pandora so much, but its been acting up a lot lately, once the phone sleeps it stops after a few minutes, then once i go back into it, it says acquiring connection or some bs, which is weird cuz i even tried on full wifi and it still stops...

For me on my Nexus One it crashes after about 10 songs or so. For my girlfriend on her myTouch3G it works ALL DAY LONG without crashing. Seems like its an issue with 2.1,2.2.

Yup having a problem on it too. Not sure what the deal is.

Anyone else notice Pandora sounds terrible on Froyo, even on the HQ setting?

same here. 2.2 and pandora took a ****. I use slacker radio (non membership) and it works great.

MOKEE 4.4.2 Network Issue - GT-P3100

Okay so i have 4.4.2 in my gt-p3100 and am facing continuous network loss.
One second its there and the other second it says no service.
Then it identifies my cell network but shows this -
No Service- TATA DOCOMO
(Tata docomo is my network provider)
This happens usually when i am about to make a call or message or about to recieve a call or message.
The incoming call gets displayed for a split second and then bam..!
The network goes away.
And then again it shows no service and the cycle continues.
Toggling the airplane mode on and off sometimes helps, but mostly i cant get it even after several reboots or sim changes and everything.
I am really annoyed now.
This started only 5-6 days ago.
I completely reformatted this tab and had a fresh install but still it continues.
I have a custom messaging app called 8sms and xposed framework installed although i use just X-Privacy.
Besides i read that moto G users in my region are facing the same issue in their current KitKat version.
Just for reference : https://forums.motorola.com/posts/027c60e48f
Any help is urgently needed, thanks.

Bump...???

I hope this helps.
Clean install ROM. do not restore backup apps first. first log-in through your google account and restore all..
I experience same problem with other roms also slimkat, sensonic, dhollmen. what i did is restore my contacts and apn setting from my google account not from a backup. i hope this helps.

Well i had just cleaned and installed but what i did was let google restore the contacts and apn.
Then i manually restored some apks via app backup and restore.
And then i used Titanium Backup to restore the data in all of them.
Is this the wrong way.?
Thanks btw.

@gangpe well i changed the APN as u said.
But i was playing GTA San Andreas.
And a call came and it rang for a split second and then same..the network goes away.
But it came back automatically.
Still the issue is not solved coz it happens randomly .

Is the apn still there, or did it disappear? I ran into an issue once where the apn did not save for some reason...

Well its still there...
I chose the same name for it too, would that conflict.?
Also randomly it happens when sending/recieving a message too.
I click on send and suddenly it says no service and then the message cannot be sent even after 2-3 reboots. :-/

Bump..
Any one know any solution..?
Its starting to get on my nerves.
Random no service msgs.
And wont get stable unless 2-3 reboots..:-/ :-/

Not sure what to tell you. A few days ago, I had a few weird issues (could not install xposed framework, quick settings panel would not work), so I ended up wiping cache, data, system, and dalvik. After wiping, I re-installed the ROM, and I have been good since.
In my case, there was probably an old setting I had that was causing issues. If you haven't tried wiping those four options, then I would suggest you try wiping/reinstalling.
If you have tried that, not really sure what to say. Sounds like you might need to head back to stock for a while until a later release resolves the issue.

Mmmm...the thing u are telling is a case of wrong dirty flash of a rom, i mean u must have flashed a previous version rom without wiping over other rom version.
I have faced this too..but the thing i was facing seems to have gone now on current latest release.
Dont know but i did not fixed permissions from TWRP this time after OTA and now the issue hasnt surfaced since 24 hours.
Maybe i'l wait some more and check and report back here.
Thanks anyways.

Now i m gonna pull my hairs out..!!!!
Wtf is this sorcery.. I was watching a vid on MX player and again the no network issue started happening as soon as a call came....!
This MX player is the culprit i think..usually while watching vids this happens...

Same issue for me on p5100, it happens both on Dhollmen and Mokee.
I don't have MX player installed.
Often happens when watching videos, but I'm not sure if it happens ONLY WHEN watching videos.
However, no further way out than rebooting.

Well i am facing this randomly..but usually while mx player is on.
I cant seem to find any solution to this.
In rare cases i need 2-3 reboots to fix this.

M soo very disappointed guys.
Have not a single site as great as xda and not many people are even looking at our problem.
I generalized the problem to most full screen apps.
And it happens usually while pausing the app and flicking down the status bar and doing some multitasking from there or pressing the home button.
Anyone....???

Or should i just try Omni Rom.?
Maybe Mokee has this bug..?

If you try Omni Rom, I really appreciate if you let me known the results in any case, since I have no free time and currently I cannot flash this rom

Okay mate, i'l flash that in about a week as my exams are going on.
Omni has just this battery drain issue.
It seems no one knows about the problem we are facing on mokee.

@loboz well i flashed omni and its feature packed..
No issues till now, a little different from mokee and you'l be glad you did as mokee's OTA are dead too..
Satisfied with omni..

[Q] I717 Audio Jack Problems

A couple of days ago, when i would plug my headsets into my phone, my audio would still play out my speakers. Now the only way to play music through my headsets is to restart my phone, but when someone calls, i can't use my headsets anymore. I'm running jellybean 4.1. I already replaced my audio jack & it's still not working; has anyone else had this issue & if so did you ever fix it?

If you're running a custom rom, you could try to reflash it again (doing a backup trhough TB, in example, to conserve your apps). It seems some software issue and, sometime, when you're using a crom for long time, these kind of problems can appear.

i'm running stock. i even tried a custom rom & it did the same thing. i'm completely confused

I'm sorry, I didn't notice you answered. Mmm... This is something quite weird. It could be that some of the phone's system files have been corrupted... or any other hardware issue. Do you have it in guarantee yet? You could try to call the customer service and explain what's happening.
I wouldn't know what to say, I'm sorry.

I've tried EVERYTHING. Please let me know if you ever fix it

my friend ask me to try "factory data reset"....whala and it works.

What a good idea! I'm always thinking in flash devices or install roms to fix problems, forgeting the other options included in the phone by stock. Just try it, you'll have to do a backup of your apps before (not of the system, obviously) and restore it once you've done it.
If you want to see which one could have done this issue, you could restore them one by one.

i've basically been doing that all day, even when i take the earphone piece out, it still thinks it's there. i honestly don't know what else to do

or try this,
go to setting>>App>>all
and find music player you installed,like mine is walkman,scroll down and find "clear data" and press it. may be that'll help.

Or try with another music app, and have a look if it makes the same issue than now.

I've done everything, I think it's a hardware problem, but i don't know exactly what to do about that. I don't have warranty:crying:

Strange Bluetooth issue

Since I got my phone on release day and I haven't been able to use it to make calls in my 2012 mazdaspeed3. My other phones have worked fine so I thought I needed a software update on my radio. Well everything is up to date and that didn't fix it.
The problem is when I make or receive a phone call the Bluetooth will connect and disconnect every 5-10 seconds. This makes it impossible to talk on the phone.
So I have tried stock roms, sense based roms, and all the CM based roms and they all did the same thing. Yesterday I was trying to figure it out so I sat in my car in the garage and the phone was in a constant connect disconnect loop. During this time I was disabling apps and services hoping to stop it when all of a sudden I turned off WiFi and it stopped. I then called my wife and had a 10 min conversation with no problems. So I now run a tasker profile that when Bluetooth connects it turns off WiFi so I can make calls. The problem is I have a nexus 7 dash mounted and I use the WiFi hotspot to run apps.
So after all that, does this sound like a hardware issue or a software issue? Should I return my phone for an exchange? Thanks for the help

Weird...
My M8 should be here today and I have a 2010 Mazdaspeed3. I hope this isn't an issue with all of them. Although, my MS3 has a long history of it's bluetooth not getting along with HTC phones.

So far, no. It took me like 20 minutes to get the phone to pair but once that was done it hasn't disconnected at all. I have music constantly streaming through Bluetooth to the car and I've taken a couple calls with no issue.

having the same issue here. My vehicle is a 2013 Ford F150 with Sync.
Worked up until about a day ago .. Now i can't get stock or aosp roms to lock in bluetooth

Have you tried clearing data and cache in settings?
the Red Viper ROM

I am having the same issue.
It is connecting and disconnecting repeatedly, and it is SUPER annoying because it essentially renders my pebble watch useless.
For a while i was using the Automatic Link (car link) and was getting 'bluetooth share has stopped' errors, but found that when I stopped using the Automatic app it helped a little bit (stopped giving me the 'share has stopped' error), but it still connects and disconnects repeatedly.
The weirdest thing about this is that when I first got this phone I wasn't having this problem, everything was working fine for the first month or so, but it seems to keep getting worse.
I have tried wiping cache, dalvik, fixing permissions, etc. and have not had any luck, but I don't want to do a complete wipe of all my data and lose my text messages, etc. unless ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY, since there are images and things in there that I continually refer to for work, and I have not found that titanium backup restores them very reliably.
Has anybody had any luck with this issue? Could it be a defective device? It seems to me like it should be a software problem because it is not something I was having problems with from the start...
I am very frustrated with this, even more so because I love this phone so much. I have never had a phone that I liked as much as this one, usually the first thing I do is install an AOSP rom, but I even like Sense 6 in some ways. With Nova Launcher's 'OK Google' hotword support this phone is a dream come true... if only the bluetooth worked.

Sounds like the common theme may be root for whatever reason. I assume when you first had the phone and it worked that you were not rooted? Possible issue?

you need to let HTC backup app take care of backing up your texts etc...what if you dropped the phone in the toilet tonight or got pushed into a pool?
this app is free...will backup your stuff daily or on demand and will restore email accounts/texts/desktop/apps/blinkfeed settings etc.

install that, backup to the cloud (uses Google drive) and then continue troubleshooting without fear of losing stuff.

Pandora Issue

I have this weird problem with Pandora over LTE. It won't load songs and play unless I toggle airplane mode on and off. I have uninstalled the app and reinstalled it. I never use to have this problem and I can't figure out why its doing this. No other music streaming apps have problems (play music and SoundCloud). I have to toggle airplane mode after every song. Its really annoying. My N5 is completely Stock and I am on Straight Talk

I am on Android 5.0.1. I have even factory reset my phone and I still have the same issue. I can't figure it out at all. Pandora works fine over WiFi, but not LTE or 3G. All other music streaming apps I have work just fine. If I start Pandora and let it try to play a song. It will start then have really buffer issues. while it is buffering if I put airplane mode on then off the song will play just fine over LTE, but once a new song starts I have to do the same thing with airplane mode. I would ditch Pandora all together and just use Play Music or SoundCloud, but both of those apps use so much data. ( I listen to about an hour of music a day) I have Play Music setting set to the low quality, but from what I have read online it will stream the best quality your connection will allow. I have great connection everywhere I go in my home town.

Pandora claims they have no issue with 5.0 or 5.0.1, but I can not use the app. I really only started to have this problem when I updated to 5.0.1. May flash back to 5.0 to see if that fixes the problem.
Here's an interesting side note. If I turn on the hotspot feature on my N5 and connect my N7 to it and play Pandora on my N7 everything works fine. I'm going crazy trying to figure this out.

jdawg0024 are you on Straight Talk for service? I am running KitKat (4.4.4) on my Nexus 5 through Straight Talk and I am having the exact same issue. I have tried everything as well and cannot figure this out. Songs take a long time to load or will not load at all. Once they do they will skip like as if being buffered. Works fine over wifi connection and all other streaming services work fine as well.
Up until today I did not know about toggling airplane mode but that will make the songs play. I would love to get this figured out..........

Pandora streams fine for me on T-Mobile lte with xtrasmooth 5.0.2 ROM. Also had worked on kk4.4.4.

Although I have a feeling that it is Straight Talk's issue. I know 3 People who have the N5 and they are all on 5.0.1 and each on a different Network (Verizon, Sprint, and ATT) all of their Pandora Apps are working correctly.

I have also spoken with Straight Talk and specifically asked if my service was being throttled and they said that it was not. I am tempted to try a reset and upgrade to Lollipop but would much rather have it working as is.

I can tell you that a factory reset will not help. I thought it was 5.0.1 that was causing the issue so I flashed the 5.0 factory Image and that did not fix the problem. Then I flashed the 5.0.1 factory image and that did also not fix the problem.

Clearing the Pandora cache worked for me.
