[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.

pandora and epocrates

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

Same here

[Q] What is it with Pandora?!

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...

Google Play Music, Verizon Loading Bug

Bug is straightforward --
Over on the Galaxy S6 non-edge (Verizon branded), over Verizon 4G, Google Play Music either will not load songs at all, or will load them after several minutes of loading. 1080p videos on YouTube load in seconds, so it's not directly related to my 4G speeds.
Works fine over Wifi and with other devices.
I've tried the following with no results:
Uninstall Google Music App Updates (with phone restart)
Reinstall Google Music (with phone restart)
Reset Phone Settings (with phone restart)
Restore Factory Settings (with phone restart)
Clearing Google Play Music cache and data
Sometimes a song or two will come up that decide to load. If I skip on to the next track, the next one will just hang for two to three minutes before playing.
Any ideas?

My Google music has been working perfect over 4g when I'm at the gym. That's weird bro

My next step is to replace the phone with Verizon. If that doesn't fix it then.... well, hopefully that fixes it!

I'm having the same exact problem with my phone too I thought it was just me

Sandman, which market are you in? I'm in the Atlanta area, been having this issue all parts of town so I don't think it's a certain tower.

I'm in Maryland and both the DC/Baltimore areas have been giving me problems

I'm having the same issue! I'm in the Atlanta area as well (Clayton County for work. Dekalb County in the evening). All other streaming music apps work fine except for Google Play Music. YouTube loads a little slower than I would like too. Even on WiFi it still loads up pretty slow.

Same here
I am in Atlanta also and have been having issues.
What makes me feel A LITTLE better is that i checked my wife's S5 and it is having the same issues as my new S6.

Sounds like a Google Play problem and not an S6 one.

google play music
I am having the same problem...also on my new s6...as well as my wifes s5.....we are in the warner robins area south of Macon....Plays fine over wifi for both phones.... it has to be a bug within the app itself... I hope there is a fix soon...it's annoying!

Got mine working [fixed]
Okay...I was able to fix this.
I went into Manage App section and uninstalled update for Google Music and then I cleared cache in the same screen. Also, make sure you go to the play store settings and select the option to NOT update apps automatically. After having no luck with Google support for about an hour, I was able to do this and my music has been working fine for about an hour while steaming.
Edit:
It appears as though the cache has to be cleared (using the same process above) every time you connect to a wifi and then go back to network. I ran into the issue again after connecting to wifi, but it is back to normal after clearing the cache. It will take about 15 seconds for the first song to start, but it will go back to normal after that.

It hasome been working fine for me since I have gotten home today. Music loaded quick on 4G and I was able to play songs from different albums without waiting for it to buffer.

google music bug
I spoke with a google employee today who told me that engineers were aware of the problem and are currently working on a fix...in the meantime she told me to uncheck "automatically cache" under settings ....I haven't had a problem with it playing over 4g anymore today...will play Instantly....hope this helps those who are still having issues

[Q] background data issue

i am having an issue that i cannot figure out and i am hoping someone can help. i have a galaxy s6 through Bell and it is completely stock and i have not modified it in any way. i am having an issue where some apps, but not others, will not download data unless i am on wifi. i do have some apps that have background data restricted but i am having issues when the apps are in the foreground and are actively being used. i have checked to make sure that there are no data limits or restrictions blocking data, i have full lte signal and i have tried toggling between lte and 3g with the same results.
i have used the phone for 5 weeks at least and for the first 3 weeks all was good until this issue crept up and i had to do a hard reset. i started from scratch and reset the phone and all was good for another 2 weeks and now it is an issue again. as an example, i open the play store app and it loads up the icons and i can use lte and load all info and pics,etc, but when i try to download a new app or update an existing one it will indicate that it is trying to download but nothing happens. i can switch to the browser and it will open pages but when i switch back to the play store it says that background data is disabled when it is actually not.
today i have also had issues with google music where it will allow me to play radio stations over lte just fine sometimes and other times the icons will be greyed out and it will not allow the radio stream to open unless i switch to wifi. the settings are set up to allow me to stream over data, etc so it should be working.
i have had many android devices in the past and am usually able to figure this stuff out but i am stumped on this one. i tried searching and did not find anything. any help would be appreciated.

Did you check to see if power saver is set to on? Turn it off
If it's not that, check under settings > data usage and make sure "set mobile data limit" is OFF

Thanks but neither of those is the issue. Some apps will work while others will not. Gmail will get push email but I cannot download apps or stream music in play music. Frustrating

Disabling background data will simply stop the app using mobile data to do things in the background. I'd imagine the app recognises streaming as "background data".
I would turn off disable background data on the effected apps as the setting does not improve battery and has very little effect on data used.

I will try that and see. What confuses me is that the phone has been great for a few weeks and suddenly this issue comes back and I have not changed any settings from one day to the next

Marshmallow verizon s 6 issues

Ever since this update I am having lots of issues. I am getting a 907 vm error everyday. I am getting connection issues and no Internet connection errors in all my apps. Touchscreen has a horrible lag now. In music apps like Spotify after a song ends it uses to go the next song automatically now I have to go back into the app for the next song to play. I wish I never did this upgrade...any advice

Sounds like a factory reset is in your future.

Disable Power Save, it block background data making all apps says "No internet".

Go to settings and select Battery then go to upper right and select More then Optimize Battery and deselect apps you are having issues with such as Voice Mail. Works for me.
