Pandora and Lollipop - Verizon HTC One (M8)

Any other heavy Pandora users have issues with LP? I've tried it on the early LP ROMs, stock LP OTA, the amazing GPE ROM from DigitalHigh and always the same result. Plays for a while then the app locks up or just stops playing and requires a FC. Works fine on KK. Originally I figured it was due to the firmware mismatch, but with that not being an issue I'm at a loss. Wondering if it's just me or if others are experiencing the same?

Same thing

Same thing going on here with Pandora and lollipop I just change the channel and put it back and it works fine

I've done some research and it seems this is the result of the LP memory leak / management issues. Apparently it aggressively closes background apps. Hopefully will be fixed in 5.1

This is probably why my Sonos App does the same thing. I have to revert to an order apk build for it to work.

I was experiencing this on GPE from DigitalHigh too, until 3/9 update. Today I finally got to drive around listening to Pandora with no crashes. Even able to skip songs

I don't have this issue, using LP adrenaline. But not sure what you define as a while. May want to check yourself though.

For me a while was a 10.5 hour DUI task force shift haha. I tried Adrenaline and stock OTA and they both exhibited the same behavior. Just yesterday though I installed the new Sense 7 ROM from SkyDragon. Pandora has been streaming, on battery and to my stereo over bluetooth since 9am with no skips. Skype also hasn't disconnected and the battery life is flawless. Looks like HTC baked in some system optimization along with Sense 7! I work task force again tomorrow night so we'll see if it can make it 10.5 full hours without skipping lol.

For me its been a ROM issue. Some ROM's have the issue some don't. I haven't flashed a GPE rom, but its only happened to me on a AOSP rom. I'm running a Sense 7 ROM(FluentRom) and everything works fine.

Are you using an ad blocker?

I had the same issue for a long time and searched tirelessly for a solution with no luck. As it turns out the problem was AdAway (or any other ad blocker that you may be using). The solution that I found in another forum was to log DNS requests while running Pandora and then whitelist what came up. Ever since, no freezes, no force closes, nothing. It works just as intended.
So, open AdAway and disable ad blocking, which will revert it back to the stock hosts file. Then try going in to AdAway's settings, select Log DNS requests, then select 'TCPdump is not running!". When it says it is running, start the Pandora app and play it for a few minutes. It probably wouldn't hurt to skip a few tracks. Afterward, turn off the TCPdump and then open the log file. From there, long-press the addresses in the list and whitelist them. From there you can re-enable ad blocking with the whitelist applied. This finally solved the issues that I had with Pandora & Lollipop.

Problem with Hellfire ICS build 1.8

HI,
ics was running fine for me for a couple of days (besides the known bugs with all the ICSs). Yesterday I was playing some music from google music through aux in my car when i got a phone call from my friend. The build lagged where i couldnt do anything for liek3 mins. and then from then on all my apps started crashing. music went first then i tried opening ohter stuff and they all also went down. the only thing that semiworked was the browser app but that too crashed after 30 seconds. anyone else have this issue? any fix for it?
-----
forgot to mention it did the same thing even after multiple reboots
----
Current Rom:stock
Current kernel:...stock? (Dunno much bout kernels)
If you have done ANY undervolting or overclocking.:nope
If you had this problem before (either on other ROM's or previously on your current ROM):just on this
If you wiped Cache:ya
If you wiped Data:YA
If you tried installing another ROM:been on other ics b4
Any other things you already tried (BE SPECIFIC!):rebooting lol
also sidenote all the ics build seem to be working fine at first but eventually end up slowing down even tho i regularly close apps. any fix for this?

Synergy rom R67/Browser stopped loading pages

Hello,
Although my post count will show I am totally new here. I am quite comfortable with flashing/etc.
I have been running the Synergy rom since 1.4 and I absolutely love it.
(full wipe of the phone)
I recently installed the R67 nightly (wiped cache/dalvik)
After R67, I noticed that my browser would not load pages completely. It would show about 90% on the status bar and it just stops.
I have had the problem before on my HTC Incredible so I went through the normal motions.
Tested Wifi/3g/4g....all show the same behavior.
Cleared "data" for the app...
Cleared app cache....
Wiped system cache...
Force closed the app...
This was all still showing the same result.
I installed Chrome...same result?
That kinda threw me...I was expecting it to be limited to the stock browser.
I installed Firefox...eureka! it is working now....for about 4 pages...now the same thing is happning to it.
I hate to even appear to be calling out the Synergy guys. I think they have a great ROM, but it is the last thing to change on my phone. So I am reaching.
I did go through a few recommendations from other phone models, remove proxy from APN settings..etc..
I can not seem to figure it out.
Anyone else on R67 seeing this? Is it something more fundamental to the phone itself?

Love your opening line, I am in the same boat in regards to post count!
Have you flashed over the latest R68? I did not use 67 at all, infact started at 64, played with some JB developments, and came back to the most current 68 (with a darkhorse rises awesome theme!). I did not have any browser issues on the 64 build, and have "none" on the 68 build - well sort of: I have noticed that when I have been on wifi for a while, when disabling wifi, the data connection (which shows in the status bar as ok) seams to freeze up. Similar symptoms of what you described. What I had to do was disable the auto wifi connect, open an instant data drawing app (play store), close it, re-open it once or twice and boom! 4g data as advertised snaps back into action without any issues until I start using wifi again for a long period. This freeze appears to only happen when the auto wifi connect is enabled (need to verify that a bit). I would flash the current nightly and test. Chrome also seams to work a bit better than the stock browser, as it should. Stick with the rom, as you know its great. Hope that helps.

Battery Life

I think its odd how there is no deep sleep state i put a screen shot of the cpu times at each cpu speed... Its odd but somehow battery life is amazing

I switch back to cm11 because i have 6%/hr of battery drain, (7hr/41min Screen on time, 65% left), that is for me horrible battery life.
I did not look the cpu states, but, if there is no deep sleep, it sould explain mi experience about battery.
I have the same mensage when I was in f2fs. I have to go back to ext4 to work.
Does anyone know if the AOSP Camera will be made available? I don't like the Google one since it doesn't allow me to choose the external SD card as a storage option.
The system itself boots, and runs quite smoothly from what I've tried so far. Very exciting!
But I've found that Lastpass crashes immediately when I try to launch it. I did a clean install with CM12 11/17. Has anyone else seen this behaviour with this app? I'm assuming for the moment it just hasn't yet caught up to Android 5, and I'll have to sit patiently on 4.4 until then.

I don't use that app, but it's probably either one of two things (or both):
This ROM was just release back on 11/14, so it's fairly new (the 11/14 was the first release), so there could be some issues that are causing the app to fail.
The app needs to be updated to run correctly under LP. There were some major changes to the API for LP that could cause other apps to fail that are now using these deprecated API calls. The developer needs to take there app and compile it under the latest LP compiler and libs to see if it compiles.
So, you'll probably have to wait and see. So far, I've been lucky. The apps that I need to work (CoPilot USA, etc) all work. Just waiting for dhacker to figure out the correct set of libs for DRM so that Google Play Movies and Netflix start working again. They work fine under my Nexus 7 running LP, but that was an official release by Google.

It turns out it was simply a matter of PEBCAK. I uninstalled Android System Webview, because it has the same icon as the stock Browser, while I was removing unwanted processes.
The first time , I flashed 11/15 version, everything seems to work fine ,then I flashed gapps, then I got no signal anymore,but everything else seems to work, so I did a factory reset, the gsm signal came back again, today when I trying to flash 11/18 version, the signal gone again, this time I don't want loose my data , what should I do to get a gsm signal? *#*#4636#*#* seems not working on 11/18, sorry for my poor english

Ah, I'm familiar with those errors as well as the ID10T error as well.
Works just fine, very smooth. Had no troubles with the signal at all.
However, I can't receive a call, the dialer just stops. It is possible though to make a call. Anyone had this problem?
yes had that error many times "dialer has stopped", this is work in progress man. I hope that dhacker checks this and the other thread and try to remedy some of the prob.
For that dialer has stopped error, a reboot can cure it. But again i cant rely on a phone that is going to quit when you need to make or receive a call.
So the fix for no service is still reboot and hope?
I'm on Verizon CDMA, XT926, 11/23 build, 11/22 gapps, SuperSU 2.27
Thanks.
Doug B.
I had an odd issue on 11/22 build:
When I connect my car via bluetooth, when a call comes in, pressing the answer button does nothing and the call keeps ringing forever.
Also,
Is Anyone having issues with restoring on TWRP 2.8.1.0? I tried restoring a backup I made and my phone won't boot. It just gets stuck at the cyanogen mod screen.
Edit: I restored a previous backup, installed TWRP 2.8.2.0 and then restored the backup I was trying to. It worked.

On my 11/25 build data wasn't working at first, I just turned it on and off from settings and it started working.
11/25 build is working for me as far as being able to receive phone calls. I was previously getting FCs on it when an incoming call was coming, but I was also running f2fs. I've gone back to ext4 and things seem to have stabilized at this point.
This build is the dhacker? I found nothing in his link. Many changes over the previous build?
When open 3g ,call comein can not.
How to fix it?

SMS issue
Is the sms issue (can't receive sms, although the phone I'm sending from receives the delivery report) still present in this new build (12-02)? I've tried the 11-25 build and BlissPop and none of them allowed me to receive sms... It's the one real issue that's keeping me from jumping into Lollipop
Razr HD (XT925, KK bootloader)
My device does not come out of the boot with this version.

Cleartune freezing

Hey
Since I have my s8+ this app keeps freezing on me. Sometimes it works, but that's not often. I open the app and it is just staying on A and the arrow is not transparent as it should while tuning. It's also not a setting because non of the buttons are working.
I've tried clearing data and cashe and I've just flashed renovate ice 3.0 so it's not a rom issue as it occurred on both stock and custom.
I've had a s7 edge and it was working fine there (also nougat)
Also it's the official app from play store.
Anyone an idea how to fix this?
Thanks in advance!
I use cleartune all the time, I haven't had any issues. Have you tried uninstalling/reinstalling? I have a tmobile so I don't know about custom ROMs as we have no custom ROMs.

Yes I've reinstalled it but that doesn't do the job
When i run discord it blocks the mic in clear tune from working. You proably have some app blocking it cause it taking over the mic.
The problem for me is im runnign into issue with this being in stable in andriod 9 stock tmobile. I dont think they have updated the app in a while. Drag cause this is the best tuner app on the market for sure

Volte for some
Also got today's update - 3.7 MB. Figured it was minor fixes they discovered. Installed - now my phone is not working. When I restarted, it froze on the splash screen. Several tries - same result. Won't boot to recovery. Will boot to Fastboot - try Recovery or Start from there, freezes on splash screen. Only choice that works is turn off. If you get the 1.5 update, you might want to wait before installing it.

I'm wondering if anyone else experienced what I did with the initial update to Android 10 with OTA update?
I've had Nova launcher beta since I've had this phone. Also rooted with Magisk using the uninstall (restore stock images, no reboot, OTA update, no reboot until installing Magisk to updated other (OTA) partition (OTA only option). What I was experiencing with Nova as default launcher was eventual slowdown which was also noticed with launching browser. Not connecting and opening but hanging up. Reboot phone; all well initially except noticing WiFi was continually reconnecting (I recently saw a post saying some routers may do this because Android 10 randomly changes the MAC address as a safety feature- I'm not aware of this? but something I read). The wifi reconnect doesn't seem to slow the phone with stock launcher as default.
Anyway, I didn't experience the slowdown with the launcher defaulted to Quick Step. Stock. But I did still see the WiFi continually reconnecting.
I just did the recent update I was alerted to today. So far, ok, not noticing the reconnecting WiFi yet. That could change but I hope not. I haven't tried Nova beta again yet. Wondering if anyone else experienced this and can give an all clear?
Memory leak? I cleared all app cache with titanium backup and rebooted. That didn't help; still eventually slowed and couldn't open browsers. I had considered a user data wipe but stopped short of trying the stock launcher. That helped; hasn't showed yet. But I'm missing the Nova shortcuts and gestures. Putting widgets on my home screen isn't so eye pleasing as having the gestures. Not the same as I'm accustomed to.
I know Nova has said Android needs an update to accommodate gestures like stock. But I haven't heard Nova is causing issues using as default launcher with Android 10 on the Essential or other phones?

Really? WTF? What kind of a safety feature is that? What about MAC filtering on the routers (I have it set up)? I hope that's just some glitch, and not intentional... No WiFi problems for me so far.

I use the MAC filtering on a Netgear Orbi router. Just saw the wifi reconnect again with latest Android 10 update. Flips back and forth between WiFi and cellular connection; like WiFi to cellular and back to WiFi for a while. I thought I had read about that somewhere in one of the Essential threads; effects some routers, not all. Not sure where. I was hoping to get confirmation on what I'm seeing since updating to Android 10.
I didn't do any beta Q updates. Just stock OTA updates.
Thanks for the feedback on Nova. I was using beta. You're on standard Nova release with no issues like mine?

Try to "flash-all.bat" in fastboot or bootloader mode to reinstall latest Q v122. Full time, not OTA. Edit out "format user data" in flash-all.Bat file to keep data

I'm running Nova Beta but haven't had any slowness issues & like you no Q betas or tweaks, only taken stock OTA all the way to first Q release (not using mac filtering on router either). Could it be another app, someone on the Q&A thread said their phone suddenly started going very slow a few days ago, they were still on Oreo.
Only issue I've had was keypass2android crashed when filling in a password today (1st time ever, don't know why or if it's related to Android 10).

I think it was another app; third party memory management. Android 10 doesn't seem to deal with cache wipe without a reboot. I used a boost app by HTC since I got this phone too but looks like I'm done with it now. Tapatalk wouldn't run; opened the boost app and saw it had recently wiped its cache.
I've seen similar behavior with Tapatalk and browsers, just manually wiping cache and app won't run without a reboot, at least initially. Just took a while to duplicate this after freezing Nova launcher was all.
I'm ready to try Nova beta again. Thanks for the confirmation on the beta app.
Edit: That was odd thawing Nova; QuickStep 10 kept reengaging as default home or momentarily until home tapped again after gesture to launch recent apps screen. I know Nova could do that animation before but doing so was bringing in Quick step to do this. Appears the Quick step launcher needs force closing after selecting Nova once thawed but a momentary freeze with titanium on the quick step launcher afterwards also did the trick. Followed by another reboot which became necessary due to slowdown almost immediately after all the above. I've never experienced this amount of oddity.
Had hopes things were here back to normal...
Edit 2: maybe time to uninstall Nova and start from scratch or even wipe user data. Nova didn't last a day for me before the slowdown returned.
Edit 3 (update): I've kept going back to Quick Step launcher for eventual slowdowns. But one common slowness I saw consistently was launching apps from recents. I sent an email to Nova development through Google Play link. Didn't get a response yet but Nova beta 6.2.2 showed as an update for me in Google Play today so I tried it. So far I can launch apps from recents without lag (just as fast). Hoping my glitches are gone this time.
