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.

Slacker? I would try to file a bug report with Pandora. It may not be up to date with Lollipop.

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.

Yes I am on Straight Talk. I have called them, but they say they aren't blocking any services. Pandora has since emailed me and said that they are aware of the issue, but do not have an ETA on a fix

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.

I need help! Whenever I want to stream music over wifi my NS works fine until the screen shuts off. I have tried everything that I could possibly think of. I have downloaded apps and even went into settings <wifi<advance<sleep policies. I could really use the help guys because this is ****ING frustrating.
Thanks in advance

Just to make sure, in the settings for wifi advanced you've confirmed that you set it to never, right?
What app are you trying to stream with?
Yes I did all of those things. I am trying to stream sirius/xm app. This just freaking sucks

I was having this issue with stock as well. It worked randomly and sometimes a reboot might fix it. Hope you can find a proper way to fix this.
Yeah this is a real dissapointment. Their needs to be some kind of fix in the next update. Someone please cone up with a temporary solution.

Okay, I suspect this is unique to the sirius app. I have it, so I'll try to play with it and see what results I get.
Does it do the same thing on cellular data?
Have you tried running a logcat of the phone to see if there's log messages that might be a clue as to what's going on?
It's not free, but you can also use the WunderRadio app to listen/stream Sirius programming. I never had problems with that one.
PS. Maybe you should edit the thread title to show this problem is with a specific app or type of app, not wifi sleep in general.

Its not Just the Sirius app its anything I use. The wifi shuts off about 2 minutes after the screen is off. I am currently searching the web for any solutions I can find.
I have also noticed that my wifi signal is not green and sometimes white.

Please run a logcat that shows the log activities at the time the wifi and streaming stop.

I can stream without issues using slacker and audiogalaxy over wifi. Are you running a custom rom or kernel?
I got it working guys. I don't know what I did but it works. Thanks for the help.

Hello fellow posters,
I am having a very strange problem that shows its ugly head with Napster and Slacker Radio. The song will play for exactly 12 seconds and then stop. The song will then resume again several seconds later. The rest of the song plays fine from that point forward. I find it strange that it happens on both apps at the same exact time (12 seconds). MOG doesn't seem to have this issue.
I have a 4G signal with at least 3 bars when the issue happens. The problem doesn't occur is streaming from WIFI.
Is anybody else having problems with these apps with their G2X?
Thanks for your time,
Lance
I have the same problem. I was running the gingerbread leak thought it was that. So I'm back on stock same problem.

Napster and Slacker Radio
Does anybody have ideas on how to resolve the issue (song stops playing after seconds almost every time. The song then starts playing again after several seconds).
Is it a phone issue since it happens on both Slacker Radio and Napster? Any setting changes that can be done?
Thanks,
Lance
I haven't tried napster, but for slacker, try version 2.1.191. I loaded it with titanium backup. The last couple versions suck, and apparently not just on our phones/roms. The market comments are BAD. lol...
Not sure how to locate it if you don't have a backup. I'll see about getting the apk somewhere.. It was free on the market, so I can't see how it would be "piracy"...
I have the same problem with Slacker, so it's unusable on my G2x. If this isn't fixed sometime soon, I'll be canceling my paid Slacker account.
slacker updated again today. so far so good streaming over 3g
I had to turn on High quality mode in the settings menu, then the song would cache all the way in 3g. If it's in normal quality, they song doesn't cache all the way and will occasionally skip. Wifi works normally.
I've also disabled the local stream manger in slacker as well. Not sure if that has done anything
I tried again with the latest version and disabling the "local media server" option. Already had high quality enabled.
It actually plays music now. Thanks for the tip. Now if we could get music apps not to stutter when the cpu gets used... Sigh. A dual core should NEVER stutter music when multitasking.
Yes it what the "local Media server" not "local stream manager" . Sorry about that; I didn't have my phone on me.
Glad you're working. Not even sure what that feature does.
i deleted slacker. the damn app wants to run for so many actions. check it out using an app like autostarts. it starts running for a ton of different actions,things that don't even make sense.
winamp is almost as bad,but tolerable.

I disabled Local Media Server too (never noticed that option before), and it seems to be working properly for me too. Thanks everyone!
I have Napster and I have the SAME EXACT problem. The only way I got around it was to download the playlists so it wouldn't skip. It's extremely annoying. I've already informed LG about the issue a month or so ago. Its only on Napster tho. Not Rhapsody or Pandora.

This apparently just showed up with the last update (yesterday or today) and fixed my streaming issues in slacker too (only had time for a quick test though)
It happens fairly often, any ideas?
DX 2.3.3
In retrospect it may have been equalizer app from market. Currently running cm7 with dsp manager, no reboot issues.

Mine doesn't reboot, but Music crashes every time I try to stream over 3g. Works great on wifi. Hope they get the bugs out, because I like the program.

I was having some issues at first. It was either gingerbread or equalizer. Works fine now with cyanogenmod.
DX+CM7
I used to have that issue, but it disappeared after a few factory resets (not because of google music, other reasons). It happened only when I started playing music then locked the device, but not every time it rebooted. I did have that music Fx equalizer however.
Because one signature isn't enough.
I hate doing resets, although I'm using Titanium now, so it should be an easy restore. Maybe I'll try that this weekend. Was kind of hoping for a app update that would fix it.

I don't think a factory reset if necessary, just remove the equalizer app if you have it, but if it's not the problem try everything before factory reset even if you have titanium, a single app isn't worth it because if you just restore everything back it's likely the problem will still be there.
Because one signature isn't enough.
Factory resets didn't fix my issue, even tried only downloading that app to make sure it wasn't interference from another one. But somehow I managed to get it to work when I unchecked cache music and wifi only from on to off and vice versa. Now it streams on both wifi and 3g like it's suppose to. Must have been a glitch in there.
G music is a data hog. I'm twenty days into my billing cycle and I've used over seven gigs of data on 3g. That's the only thing I've used differently. Luckily I have unlimited data, truly unlimited according to a Verizon Rep.

Anyone else have this issue, music keeps stopping when playing through the headset, sometimes it could happen after 5 mins, others after an hour, happens in all music and podcast apps, hasn't happened with the FM radio yet though.
Used to happen with me. I had my music player greenified and, after some time, it would auto hibernate. Make sure it's not something you're using.
Sent from my Moto G using XDA Free mobile app
Yes its happening to my moto as well
So seems we have a fault somewhere. I remember this happening with my old Galaxy S2, turns out if cell signal went it turned the music of for some reason, not sure if this is the same problem though

I've managed to fix it, a factory reset fixed the issue, give it a try.
I'm getting this problem too. It happens with FM radio as well as music playback with Blinkbox, Google Play Music. It never used to happen before the recent KK 4.4.4 update. Before I do a factory reset does anybody have any other suggestions?
Doing a Quick Poll to see if anyone on Straight Talk Wireless has Pandora working over LTE/3G. About a month or so ago I noticed that Pandora has become basically useless on my phone over LTE/3G. It will not load and play any songs unless I put the phone in airplane mode then take it off airplane mode for every song. I have had this problem on both of my N5's that are completely stock running Android 5.0.1.
nexus 5 on 5.0.1 + Pandora + straight talk = headache
Having same problem with the same setup. I did not notice the problem until the factory update. Not sure if it is a Straight Talk issue or an issue with the way the new os handles pandora's requests for data via cellular. I've thought about downgrading the is to see if that helps. Seemed to work fine on 5.0 before the ota update
