Pandora randomly stops playing a song?

Hey all, just a quick problem I'm having with pandora. When I'm driving around listening to pandora it will randomly stop playing a song and I'll have to skip to the next song and it will play fine again. Anyone else have this problem? I've tried reinstalling from the market, and it's persisted over several roms and 2.1 and 2.2. Any help would be great! Thanks.

I'm a bartender and I plug my phone into the sound system to play music for the whole bar when I'm working, and I often stream music. For a while, I used Pandora but it would stop like that and/or freeze up and I would have to force stop it in task manager and re open it, which takes at least a minute (and in bartending, is a lot of time not spent making money). It got to the point where Pandora would stop every 4th or 5th song. Mind you, this was the same whether I was on wifi or 3g. Anyhow, I switched to Slacker and it's been almost flawless. It also actually plays the ****ing artist that I create the radio station around.

i also had this happening to me a while ago but it seems to be sparatic with my phone, lately it has been working great with wifi and 3g. It usually happens to me though when i am on a 3g network when i want to listen to something other than my ipod. Then other times i can be at school just sitting doing my hw while listening doing hw and it starts stopping on me. Unlike you though mine seemed to stop when the screen shutoff and i would have to press play again and as soon as i did that it would stop again. Think the problem was due to ATK but dont really know if that was true

screw pandora now.

I have also switched to slacker in the last couple weeks and will never go back to pandora. You are correct in that you actually hear the artist you chose quite often.

My wife and I notice that a lot when we are driving home from work listening to it via bluetooth. Every 3-4 songs it does that. In the middle of the day I never have a problem. I'm pretty sure their servers are likely just getting overwhelmed.

Was beginning to think it was my phone doing it...will try slacker now.

I, too, am glad to know it's not just my phone. Everything you guys describe happens to me also.
I never heard of Slacker, but will check it out now.

This has been an issue since version 1.5 of Pandora. It's very lame.
If you can find an apk of version 1.4.x, supposedly it was more reliable.

Found pandora 1.3 apk on droid forums and is working great! Ill post link later.

Pandora 1.3 --->https://www.box.net/pdn-android-apps/1/46972990/467842722

Downloaded the 1.3 apk..installed...froze on first song! I give up.
I think I'm done with Pandora. Anyone have any advice between Last.FM and Slacker? I'd probaly go with the premium on which ever one I decided on.
Cog 4.1 btw

Just chiming in to say I have the same problem. I only get a few songs then Pandora stops playing. Not sure if it has to do with the phone going to sleep. I have seen some posts about "Mobile Data Always On" option but I have yet to find that on the Captivate.

No its pandora! I just downgrade to 1.3 and been fine since.

Pandora Issue on stock unrooted

Hi guys,
Did a search, but couldn't find anything on this problem; Pandora is very unstable on my stock, unrooted 1.1.0 Nook. about 70% of the time, it won't play the next song in my station; it's dead silent. When I wake the nook up, I see that it's on the next song, but it won't play at all. When I hit pause or forward, the song controls disappear, then it takes a long while to load into the next song.
Sometimes it will play 3-4 songs in a row no problem, but then it starts acting up again. Is this an issue with the wi-fi connectivity? Anyone else have this problem? It happened when I was on 1.0.1 too.
Any help/insight is much appreciated. Thanks!

Is your nook sleeping when you notice this happenng? If so it would make sense as I am fairly sure the wifi shuts down when the nook sleeps. It usually takes a few seconds for the wifi to reconnect on waking up. If anyone knows different please let me know, but that seems to be my experience.

It happens in sleep mode and while it's awake. I spoke to a B&N rep, and he told me that the wifi disconnecting on sleep mode should have been fixed on the 1.1.0 update, but that it's still disconnecting on many Nook Colors. He also blatantly said that they didn't spend too much time on the Pandora app itself. He basically told me to wait for the next batch of updates to hopefully fix these issues.

This is most likely caused by a hardware/software/wifi problem between the NC and wifi. Go to settings/devices/wifi. Typically you see connected with "testing" or disconnected. It happens after a large amount of data is streamed to the NC. You also see this problem if you download samples of books or "SHOP".
What is the model of your wifi?
Are you using 802.11n or g or b?
Are you using encryption.
A simple test is to go to a BN store. If there's no problem then it's the Router/NC at your home that's the problem.
The NC is the first wireless device that I have encountered problems at my home.

I'm using g at home, and I'm not sure what is at my job, but the issue happens there too. My wifi security at home is WPA2-PSK [AES]. The Nook does not take long to connect to my router, but it still disconnects when in sleep mode. Again, not sure about the setup at work. After trying all the troubleshooting methods, I finally called Barnes & Noble today, and they are sending me a replacement.

Barnes & Noble's replacement came in last night running 1.0.0, and Pandora streaming couldn't be any better! I'm afraid to update it to 1.1.0 in fear that it will screw it up.

Thanks for the update.
I think the problem is with NC 1.0.1 and 1.1. The wifi connection got worse with 1.1. When I used Froyo from an SD card, the streaming problem went away.
You may need to stock with 1.0.0 until BN fixes the problem and come out with 1.2.

Sorry, meant I was on 1.0.1. Streaming Pandora at home is phenomenal. At work, not so much, but I attribute that to their router settings. My phone sometimes has problems with their connection as well.

Galaxy Tab freezes with bluetooth accessories [SOLUTION]

Just wanted to throw this out here in case anybody else runs into this problem. I just purchased a bt keyboard, worked fine for a few days, then suddenly my tab started to freeze, even after rebooting. System panel would show full cpu usage, and it took minutes to simply scroll, but the time and charging indicator worked in real time. After some searching I found some troubles the tab had with bluetooth devices. To the point, I found that after opening pandora for the first time since I had the keyboard that the bt media setting was enabled, turned that off, rebooted, and its been at least 5 hours and haven't had a problem since, usually only took a few minutes to freeze after powering up. As a side note, I'm sure other apps/settings may cause the same problem.
Sent from the Tab

I use(d) bluetooth headset and my freezing problem was with any and all music players. I have Pandora installed, but is it only the setting in pandora that's the problem or all music players?

It could be any apps really. For me it was pandora, I'm using poweramp for my music and I know that has bt disabled. I would just check any media apps for bt settings.

Thanks
I noticed that the 'Bluetooth' was the cause of my GT-P1000 freezing issues.
But I didn't know that some apss could also cause this!
I will try to uninstall Pandora and see if the BT issues has been resolved.
It's annoying coz I often turn the BT ON coz I used it as my primary phone number

So since you changed the BT setting in Pandora, have you had any freezing issue at all? My device started freezing like mad and I couldn't for the life of me figure out what it was. I first deleted unnecessary apps, no effect. Then I formatted the memory, followed by a factory reset when the format didn't work. The problem persisted! Two constants in the equation are the presence of Pandora (which I did not realize uad a BT setting) and my Apple Bluetooth keyboard. I finally put two and two together that it had to do with my keyboard, so now I'm a bit wary of even pairing it again lest I smash my Tab against the desk in a fit of freeze induced anger.
So I am interested to know if yoir correction of the Pandora setting seems to be a permanemt resolution.

Notice the typos above? That's because I'm not using my Bluetooth keyboard. Haha

Helps alot, thanks.

Yep. Pandora. As soon as got my new Jawbone ICON Hero bt earpiece I decided to try it with my media players. with XiaaLive it was fine. Audio was nice and clear. Starting and stopping the app was smooth. However, when I tried Pandora, audio was fine and starting the app was fine. But every time I tried quieting the app my US T-Mo Galaxy Tab would get super slow. Everything was going in slow motion. Folders would take 20 to 30 seconds to open. Even pressing the Power button took about 15 seconds to show the "Shut Down" screen.
After a reboot, everything was fine again. And I left it alone until the next day when I tried it again. And sure enough. Upon quitting the Pandora app everything got really really slow again.
So, using Pandora and a BT device seems to be the issue.

[Q] Google Music Issues

Anyone else having issues with Google Music lately??
I've noticed songs pause themselves, and upon pressing play they rewind some.
Specifically, I've found Pearl Jam's free album "Toronto Live" the 1st song, "Long Road" @ 5:27s it pauses itself everytime I've played it. And upon hitting play it rewinds to about the 5min mark and pauses again @5:27.
This may be very specific to this track, but I've noticed all sorts of weirdness that last month or so, with tracks not playing at all, shuffle not working properly (ie: not progressing to the next song), and even songs skipping mid-track.
I'd like to think this is an isolated incident, but it also has been happening on my Atrix, and I've even tried reverting back to prior and as of last night, the new versions, with the same issues popping up. I've been using the beta version since release and its only been the last month or so, and I've noticed it on a variety of Roms (however I have not tried full stock on either device)
Perhaps this is due to being in "Beta" and maybe the surge of new users, but just throwing it out there to see if anyone else has had issues similar to these.

wireless radio crash on wake up

if you look at the picture you'll notice that almost every time i wake up my phone the radio just stops working. i also noticed that this happens when i watch videos on mxplayer for about 5-10 minutes using H/W+ decoder. whenever this happens i lose connection and then it returns after about 30 seconds or so but makes my display "blink" and the apps that are currently active kind of restart themselves.
in my previous phone i had a similar problem but it was more "random" and mostly when i used firefox for long periods of time but on this one it happens way too often for me to just let it slide
how can i provide more information to get help on this? is this a common occurrence for others too? im using CM11 M12 but it seems like this also happens on stock.. guessing its not rom related then. i flashed radios from older xml's and the problem was still there is it possible that it might be my sim? can it simply be my device?
