Pandora is painfully slow - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

Is anyone else using Pandora and finding it take forever to open and then take entirely too long to buffer songs?

I havent noticed that. Also this should go in the Q&A. Just saying.

Songs take forever to load when I'm on 3g. Been that way since I had my D2. Try using wifi.

im agree with that, yo can not skip song and start to listen the new one just right the way

Sorry, themes and APPS seemed like the right place for discussion of an app.

My response was a bit clipped and rude. I beg your pardon. It appears, though, that you aren't discussing alternative apps or writing a new app. Rather you have a specific problem with a specific app, and you're look for a solution. Looks like Q&A to me. Still, I was a jerk. My apologies.

Yes! Coming from the Droid Charge, this phone takes forever to load new songs. Also, there is a buzzing sound between songs while the song is buffering which I did not have with the Droid Charge. Maybe it's the way the phone processes the audio signal?

I've noticed that the sound is distorted for the first second or two of every new song/commercial. It's strange but doesn't seem to affect my phone's speed...seems just as fast at loading songs as my old Bionic

Apology accepted. And it was a genuine misunderstanding of the purpose for this sub forum on my part.

I had this problem until I rooted and ran adfree and that fixed Pandora for some reason

Are there any mp3 player apps?...

... that have a button to skip forward/backward 5-10 seconds with a single button press?
Google's Listen app does this, but unfortunately cannot play mp3s downloaded outside of the app.
TouchMusic can kind of do this, but... it's just a horrible app...
Anyone know of an app that does this?
Doesn't the default app do this? if you hold down the buttons instead of pressing quickly.

Holding is not a button press. I specifically said button press for a reason
Also, I'm on the Desire ROM which doesn't have the holding functionality anyway.

Ok seriously people. This is EXACTLY what I was talking about just a few days ago: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=6003685#post6003685
I am asking for a very simple and specific request. Please stop telling me to do other things which are obviously not what I asked in the original post. Jesus F'ing Christ!!
GAH!!!
Using the bar to move backward 10 seconds in a 90 minute file is frustrating and almost impossible, especially when driving, running, or any other time when I don't want to fiddle around with trying to move the bar one tenth of a millimeter.
Does anyone have any input on the actual question that I asked?
sorry no.. if you find one let me know please.. i am looking also.. the built in app is crap.
no equilizer..
no effects...
no add to playlist other than one song at a time.. etc. etc.
the music player in my older i8910 is much better.

Sounds like you are looking for a mp3 player that might cater more toward audio books/ podcasts.
I needed something similar recently, I think AudioBook Player or MortPlayer Audio Books might do the trick. If those don't work, check other apps that handle audio books in mp3 format.
It's 2010, why are you still running around with a single 90 minute mp3?

I try not to spend hours at time listening to other people's opinions.
I've never "understood" the appeal of podcasts, so I wasn't aware they don't even have the decency to organize them neatly for listeners.

Ninja Rom Q&A

As some of you have come from the captivate know what I did there with Rom Q&A threads. I am doing the same here. In an effort to clean up the site. All Rom related question shall from now on be posted in the proper Q&A or will be deleted on sight.

sound issue-
i can hear two seconds roughly, of static evertime my phone makes a noise, the system clicking noise.....any sound while playing a game. i can hear it over headphones, or on the main speaker. also, when my headphones are on and im cliking through my music library, i hear it. its not really a big issue, more of an annoyance and something i havent encountered before. but i would like to fix it if possible.
If you have any questions about Ninja, please post them here. The team will be happy to answer your questions the best we can. Thanks Zel for setting this up!!
I think this is a great thread. It should be added to the initial post on the Ninja page so that noobs have a place to go with questions. Is there anyway to post the Q/A's from the development thread and list them here so that the same questions aren't asked again?
.flv files
Maybe its me, but with the other Phoenix roms (on the captivate) I could play .flv files, not from the stock video player, but I had download another, Act 1 player, or something like that. On this rom I have to use Moai FLV player, which is annoying and skips. Any thoughts on why the system doesn't recognize those anymore?
Thanks

I didn't look back in the other thread, but did you download a fresh copy of Ninja before? It seems you've had many issues. Also, if you download to the computer, make sure you have a good USB cable and USB port on the computer. Make sure you aren't using a USB breakout box. Those don't always work well. Also, have you tried the Lordmod kernels? The newest one, 6.8 seems to work well.

Have you tried Mobo Player? https://market.android.com/details?id=com.clov4r.android.nil&feature=search_result I used to use Act 1 myself, but Mobo has played anything I have thrown at it. Better interface and more features too!

I am having the same problem as the person above. My data kicks off when i receive or try and download a MMS. I have not tried to send one. It take a min for the data to come back after it has kicked. Also I'm using the two APN's from the op.
Quick question guys. Today my phone started all of a sudden started acting weird. Mobile data barely works though my guess is its the network yesterday It was fine but was slow and today even worse. I also noticed my gallery app wont display my pics. It just shows blank transparant blocks. Lastly go launcher suddenly lost my custom icons when I rebooted.
Running ninja 716 with 6.8 bfs. I haven't changed/ added anything new. This was just sudden. Anybody experience this. This rom has never given me problems

Video Players!

Hello Infuse Community!
Since day one on the Infuse it has been an exellent jump over my iPod Touch, the only thing that I find lacking is the video player! I am sure that you have all ran into streaming a video and having to answer a text! I'm wondering if anyone else has found a player that will allow you to jump back into where you have left off, instead of having to scroll back through the video and remember your place... yada yada yada. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I think that's an android flash limitation.. are these streaming vids on an html5 site? or a flash site? maybe the browser is part of the problem as well.

Ahh! Good point... Real nice call at the flash. Flashed works wonders! (well.. In one sense anyway) It resumes right on key. Stock browser nothing special. It's the HTML 5 that opens up in the separate program. Can't list the site here...

That may depend -- does that have it's own app, or is that app a "system" app on the phone?
I'd just try it, and see what happens. If it doesn't work out, go back to the way it was before.
-Uninstall your pandora app. If you can't, this may not work
-install this version
-use it, and see how it goes...
You can't have this and the "real" pandora installed at the same time. But i seriously doubt you could hurt anything to try. Just keep an eye on data use before and after.

Don't usually register or comments on forums unless it's a dire emergency or some kind of stuff but got to say awesome job on the app. Thanks
Is this app being kept up to date at all?
I searched through the forums and this looks like all. Otherwise there are other moded apks outside of xda..

I do not believe this app is up to date. I also believe this app now violated XDA's ToC and is considered "warez"
Pandora has since put a stop to the majority of things developers were once able to do to the app in order to get these things done. Server sided.
I have a subscriptiion to Pandora One, and I must say for the $4.99 it is amazing... I get a large number of skips and higher quality audio you can tell the difference, playing through the aux cord, headphones, or bluetooth audio.
Sorry to tell you won't find anything like this on XDA. If you are that hard pressed for an app like this look for another source. It was not my work to begin with.

[Completed] Can anyone help speeding things up a bit?

Hi there! I'm having some doubts about the phone, switching between apps forces app refresh, even if I switch only for a couple of seconds. If I was filling up a form and had to check something in another app (let's say a bank app), everything I completed resets itself. If I was using a browser, leave it for a couple of seconds, come back, it refreshes the website (spending data and time). Any way to make it better? A really fast phone but this is bothering me.
Here is a video I recorded to show what I mean.
https://youtu.be/b_wrBgJrS4M
Tried limiting 4 background process as someone suggested me but it didn't change behavior.
Thanks!
