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.

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.

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.

Spotify Problems on ATRIX HD

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.

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.

Cm 10.1.2 sound problem

Does anybody as this problem: my lg 4x hd is with rooted with cm 10.1.2 rom.everything is fine except when i listen to music...when a song is playing i hear these pops and click and sometimes it freezes for a fraction of second..
Is there a fix for this?i didnt want to download another music app.
Ps:the music app is cm 10.1 stock-apollo
Sent from my LG-P880 using xda app-developers app

Install a different music app and see if the problem goes away. That way you'll know if it is the ROM/your music or the app.
Troubleshoot it yourself by elimination.
Oh yes ... this has NOTHING to do with DEVELOPMENT - belongs on the Q&A forum so please report it to a moderator to be moved as I'm mobile and can't.

My phone has developed a similar problem over the last couple of days. Flashed Cm 10.1.2 on Friday (from stock) and everything worked great. Music played with no problem. Yesterday started to have a problem where music playback started to stutter and eventually stop, but only when the screen is off. Tried Poweramp and Google Music, same problem.
I think there is some issue with the system when the screen is off , as notification sounds are also disrupted, and the lock screen is very laggy when trying to wake the phone up. When the screen is on there is no problem with general operation, music playback is fine, as is video, streaming,etc. This problem has resulted in the phone freezing entirely a couple of times and I've had to remove the battery to reset.
Anyone else had this problem? Anyone found a solution?
I updated to 10.1.3 to see if this would make any difference, but no change. I am going to reflash to see if that cures it and will post back if it does.

I had the same issue, until i stumbled over this easy solution. If you are using poweramp or any other music player where you can change the audio buffer, just increase the buffer and the problem should be fixed....

Music randomly pausing on XT1097

I have been using a XT1097 for about 2 weeks now, and this problem started 2 days ago. First with google play music, on lollipop 5.0 and using the earphones from motorola that came in the package (not sure if relevant). The phone would pause the music I was listening to while in my pocket, I wasn't doing anything else with it. So I have to take it out and manually press play again.
I did a factory reset, but the problem persists. Now with spotify too. It's getting pretty annoying, taking my phone out of my pocket all the time and interrupting the music.
Any ideas on what might be causing this? Maybe lollipop 5.1 will fix it? I'm on Brazil and they started rolling the update, but I didn't get it yet.

Have you tried other headphones?

Not yet, I don't have another one around right now, but will do.

Today I turned off moto voice and the problem seems to be gone. I used spotify a lot today and it didn't pause a single time. Not sure if it's just a coincidence, tough.

Emui 5.0 Podcast Apps stop working on lockscreen

Hello guys I have a problem wich drives me crazy.
Every time my phone goes into the lockscreen and I put it in my pocket, the podcast app stops playing. I tried many of them, because at first I thought it would just be the one app. But no, almost every podcast app I used had the same problem.
Music apps have no problem staying awake. I have tried everything in my mind to fix this (in battery options...) but it still is a big problem. The onloy thing I can do about this thing is to turn the screen on after it went black and the close the screen again. Now the app plays podcast without a problem. But the next time i write a message and forget to wake the phone again, the app closes.
Any thoughts?
