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.

Its just a bandwidth issue that mobile phones have. Its not specific to you.

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.
Sent from Xda Premium on a Captivate running Paragon 6
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.

I've been having issues with the most recent builds of both Cyanogen and Pandora...
Whenever I load up Pandora for the first time after boot, about 5-15 seconds into the song it skips to another song and repeats the process until I have no more skips available. After that it just pauses the song because it can't skip them,...
So far I can't find any consistency when this happens so i really doubt its a problem with my hardware... Oh and I think this only started happening after the latest release of Pandora (updated like Tuesday i think)
Anyone else having this issue?
similarly, when I try to change the station im forced back to the 'now playing' screen over and over before I can choose a new station! Also running cy .8, so who knows where the problem lies...
I've also had the player just randomly start up and play some random station (which causes me to think its CM now :|)
I have an issue like that. Pandora will play for a while and then just pause, I can immediately hit play and it will start playing and then pause a minute or so later.
Very frustrating
i'm using 5.0.8 and I have no issues with Pandora. I noticed the topic line says "Test-5", try upgrading to the official 5.0.8 final. That might fix your issue. Do a Wipe also to eliminate any other possibilities.
Same issue here. Although, the problem with you going back to now playing screen from the stations screen is related to Pandora itself I think, I have same problem on evo 4g. I'm running cm 0.9b2 on my nexus by the way.

well, I figured out how to fix the station/now playing problem temporarily. instead of going back to the station list by pressing the 'stations list button' and flopping back and forth insanely, press the actual 'back' button on your device to get to the stations. this seems to stop the problem. anyway, it seems fixed in the stable cyanogen release.
i have the now playing screen switch problem also... pandora used to run fine on my phone, now it skips all the time, hiccups frequently and sometimes just stops playing... im not sure what happened in the update but something isnt right,
Anyone else had this?? A couple of times a day it just starts playing a song off the SD card... it's always the same song... It's not while getting an email, text, or phone call... Anyone else experienced this? It's a brand new phone that's just rooted and sideloading enabled... Still on stock firmware, 3 days old...
Which song? LOL
Never heard of that, if it keeps up you're within your 30 days, return it.

That's just it, this IS the replacement The old one is sitting on the table for an issue where it always thought the USB was plugged in even when it wasn't. It did the music thing as well, was hoping it was due to the same USB issue but I guess not... It's got to be one of the installed apps... Going to start uninstalling stuff, but most of the apps are various google apps (goggles, etc)
It happened to me the first time I flashed. Even though my alert notification settings were reloaded and set for the same sounds, and those sounds were on the same place on my sd card, I got the alphabetically first mp3 that was on my phone for every alert. I had to go in and re-select each notification tone and everything was fine after that.
My guess is that you restored something with settings that has an alert sound. Obviously, not anything that you mentioned (email, sms) but something through maybe you forgot about?

This happened to me once. Funny thing was the mp3 that it started to play was a chapter in the bible calling for repentance. I thought god was calling me out. Turns out it was just the first mp3 in my list.

Hahaha that's amazing
This is a job for "Ghost Hunters."
Ah, this is the thread I need. Yes, this is happening to me as well. What I found is that the music seems to play when switching network connections. For example, if I'm in a poor reception area and the phone switches from 3G to wireless, the music might start playing.
The way to stop the music is to pull down the notification drawer. Weird.
This seemed to happen a lot more when I flashed Cognition 2.3b8 / 3.04.
Sound familiar to anyone else?
Sounds like you guys have the option turned on to notify you when switching towers or whatever that setting is called. I know it's there, just haven't used it on this phone. I use it when I travel so if I change towers it alerts me and I can see if I'm roaming.
Look for this in the settings, and turn that notification off.
Is that an option in 2.2? Couldn't find it, but perhaps I'm missing something. What I am hoping is that it's one of the apps I have installed, like NoBars. I'm turning other notifications off to see if that helps. The odd part is this only happens maybe once a day, so to me it doesn't appear consistent.
Mine is doign the same thing as described by the OP. Seems to be playing the first mp3 located in the "Music" folder I created on my internal 16gb SD-card randomly throughout the day. Not sure if it coincides with the battery full notification or not.
The started happening a couple days ago, before I switched to official froyo, and now it's doing the same thing after the upgrade. I have never rooted or flashed my Cappy, other than from official 2.1 -> official 2.2 yesterday.
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.
From the Captivate
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.
My Favorite app spotify apparently doesn't work properly on the ATRIX HD. After using it for a few days I noticed it is freezing and I have to re-select the track I want to play again. It locks up and when i go to the now playing section it shows the current song as only 1 second long. I have been experimenting with every setting I can think of but it still does this. Has any other ATRIX HD spotifly user ran into this problem or a possible fix??
PS I tried my buddys and same problem. :-(

I too have noticed a lot of market apps dont work right.
The phone came out on the 15th so give the market sometime to update some apps to work right.
I'm waiting on Zumocast to work right.

Help app developers fix the problem. When it crashes, send them an email with the details.
Crash reports help make things work.
All apps work for me fine. I have not had any problems so far. I just wish there was root

Have you used spotify extensively? If you switch tracks enough times it freezes up. Happens every time I use Spotify.
I tested it and it was working for me actually for your sake to see. But I personally like using Rdio so much more. UI is just awesome plus it works perfectly for me.

Hmm did you try switching tracks a bunch? Everytime I have tried it would freeze sooner or later.

It got a little jittery for me after skipping 2-3 times aggressively.
I guess it's trying to load the song information and it bogs up.
Iheart Radio has problems loading stations at times.
I also get a weird preference error that dose absolutely nothing. Just pops up a window saying it cant load my preference.
I noticed there are some apps not available for the phone yet. I really want my Zumocast working again.
I used to stream my movies and music from my PC to my car, now I gotta wait for them to make a Zumocast client for Atrix HD
Until then I'm using drop box to download & save stuff.. but no streaming

For me it completely stops. Ive tried using it on wifi at home and same thing within the course of one album if you press skip within about 10 tracks it always ends up freezing. Tried 2 other peoples phones so I'm pretty sure everyones is doing this. Dosen't make sense because it works fine on the GS3 and all other android phones I've tried?
Finally as much as I love my spotify(it's probably my favorite app) I resorted to using RDIO we'll see how it goes.
Although Zumocast isn't working, Motocast (the replacement) seems to work very well!
EDIT: nope. Still not working.
Hey all,
Since I got the OTA for KK 4.4.2, my lockscreen music widget is acting a little bit weird. When I'm listening to music with google play music (and even from some other players like poweramp, rocket player, etc) and the screen goes off, if the track ends and another one begins, when I wake the phone, it shows the current's music art, but the title from the previous track.
With some players I get a bit of variation, some I get the previous album art, some I get both, name and art....
I can only get it working properly when I'm using NexMusic or Apollo, with those two, everything works like a charm, but I really wanted to use GPM.
I have recently factory reseted my phone, I didn't work. Tried to clear GPM's cache and data, nothing, tried to uninstall the update and stick to the original one that came with the phone and still nothing... So I was wondering if any of you can help me a little bit here.
I took a screenshot to try to explain it. It started playing Resistance by Muse, the screen went off and then Sunday Morning started playing, the album art is from sunday morning but the track name is still Resistance.
Yeah, same with me

well, I think I got it working right somehow now, after disabling it and trying almost all players on the market, I rebooted the phone a couple of times and now it seems to be doing everything right again
EDIT
well, nevermind, it started acting weird again
Same issue for me. Doesn't happen when I use Shuttle, just happens with Google Play Music. Rather annoying bug.
