Slacker Radio caching problems 4.2 Jellybean

I'm normally a silent - and thankful - observer here at xda. Just posted this in the Android General section as it applies to all 4.2 devices, but I'm on a Nexus 4 and would like to share it with you here. Mods please beat me if this is a no-no.

So... want to cache your radio stations on that shiny new Nexus 4? No workie.
If I want to know how to fix something, I come to XDA. I rarely contact actual product support for... anything. But I want an ETA for a fix to this. So I just chatted up Frank S at Slacker and got.. "answers". Transcript follows:
Frank S.: Hi, my name is Frank S.. How may I help you?
ME: When will the Android app be updated for JB 4.2 compatibility? Caching is broken on Nexus 4
Frank S.: This is a known issue with Android 4.2. We expect this to be fixed in a future version of the Android OS. You can avoid this issue by downgrading to the previous version of Android until a fix is released by Google. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
ME: A downgrade is not possible on this device - ships with 4.2. Can you elaborate on the "Android" issue?
Frank S.: Caching does not work on devices running Android 4.2 due to bugs and changes included in that version of Android. This issue does not appear in previous versions of Android, so we are awaiting a fix from Google in the next version.
ME: Just so I'm clear on this... Slacker will absolutely not be updating the app? Have you any information that indicates Google is going to retrofit their new OS to work with your app?
Frank S.: Google has already announced that there are several major bugs included with Android 4.2, and expect to have these fixed in a future update. Since the issue only appears with this version of the OS and since nothing with the Slacker app has changed as a result of updating to 4.2, we expect to see what changes Google plans before attempting to update the app to work around OS bugs.
ME: Well then... Caching is the sole reason I use Slacker over other services. I will attempt to find a workaround today, but if I fail I will need to cancel the remainder of my subscription
Frank S.: I do apologize for the inconvenience. Since your device is unable to downgrade to 4.1, you should be able to access cached content from your previous device until an update is available.
ME: Previous device? Not in the habit of keeping old devices
Frank S.: THat would be the only solutionwe are able to offer at this time.
ME: Are you saying a pro-rated refund is off the table here?
Frank S.: Slacker does not offer any refunds on purchased subscriptions.
ME: ....nor app updates for compatibility with new platforms? What you're saying is outrageous
Frank S.: Slacker never guarantees that all subscriptions services will be compatible with all phones and all versions of operating systems. While we will always try to make sure our app is available for use for most phones and that as many subscription features are available, some updates may take time to receive, especially on devices that are updated first.
ME: You just got done saying that Slacker would not be updating the app for 4.2 - Do I have that wrong?
Frank S.: We are waiting for Google to release what changes they are making to 4.2 before attempting to update the app to work around OS bugs.
Frank S.: Once we have that information, we will act accordingly.
ME: What "bugs" would you be referring to? Updates to OS framework and functions perhaps? Either Slacker has plans to update for 4.2 compatibility or it doesn't. How does the "OS bug" argument apply here? What is the bug??
Frank S.: I don't have any specific information on the exact issue, only that it is a known issue with Slacker on Android 4.2 and we are currently investigating and awaiting more information from Google before further action is taken
Frank S.: At some point in the future, I would expect the Slacker app to be compatible with Android 4.2, but I don't have any information on when that would be.
ME: Okay.. how about a simple "We're working on the issue...", instead of "Google is the devil and they broke our app!" Thanks
I hope this was a rogue agent... Is "Blame Google!" actually Slacker's stance on this?

Dam, cut the guy some slack. He tried explaining. I knew what he was saying right off but you grilled the hell out of him.
Done, their all is not yet compatibke with 4.2 due to a caching issue..supposedly. Either way you guys are out for blood here.
I am sure they will have the app fixed soon.

Wow, thank you for your input. I just re-read the transcript and you are absolutely right but... where was it exactly that he didn't say they were going to sit on it until Google fixes the "major bugs" in 4.2 that break Slacker? Near the end I suppose. Read the transcript again (if you can). :silly:
It's unreasonable to expect that Slacker is updated right this second.
It is absolutely unacceptable for a paid subscription service to broom a paying customer with BS like this - again, if this is actually the company line. Anyone (hopefully) have a more encouraging exchange with a Slacker rep?

Evidently they don't have a huge subscriber base moving to Android 4.2, but FYI I tried Slacker chat again just now, different rep. They're not willing to look at this issue at all.
According to them, Android 4.2 is absolutely "riddled with bugs.."
Sad.
The Slacker app hasn't been "bug free" in the 2 years I've subscribed to the service, but I've not complained until now. They have my $$$ for 4 more months of service that I can't use - and will force me to involve the CC company rather than simply pro-rate a refund. Shameful.
Anyone caching music with Rhapsody on your N4?

I'd be surprised if your card company does anything. It's not Slacker's fault you moved from your supported device to an unsupported one.

Really?
From Slacker.com 11/26/2012: http://support.slacker.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/67
"The Slacker Radio application is only supported on Android phones and devices running any version of the Android Os 2.x or higher."
I missed the part where it says "..If you ever upgrade to a current generation device (past Android 4.1), Eff you. We appreciate the free cash".
Slacker subscribers beware

Well after insisting just yesterday they didn't intend to address this issue at all, Slacker has updated their app. Nice... since I purchased Rhapsody earlier today

Speculation: Chromecast announcements coming soon?

It occurs to me that Chromecast was released on July 24th, 2013 with (at least for early adopters) 3 months of free Netflix. I always figured that those 3 months were to help compensate for the fact that there is not much you can do with it yet.
Many of us know by know that the Nexus 5 is expected to launch by the end of October. Maybe it's not at all coincidental that this will be around the same time that all the free 3-month Netflix trials expire.
So yeah, anyone else think/hope that we're going to hear something big for Chromecast at the same announcement where they launch the Nexus 5?

I'd like it to come to Canada already.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk

Lots of people already have it in Canada, and it works just fine within the content geo-blocking restrictions (Netflix Canada, no Hulu+ or Google Play). Those restrictions won't change when it's officially released for sale in Canada. In any case, there are no technical issues to resolve before releasing it for sale in Canada - it's just a supply problem keeping it restricted to U.S. sales at the moment.
I'd rather see Google put more priority on upgrading the poorly-peforming Beta tab casting software before pushing it out to world release.

I was hoping that maybe the API for third party apps would finally open up to work with consumer devices. But maybe that's to optimistic for Google.
Or, at minimum, maybe they'd announce a whole whack of new compatible apps.

The DIAL protocol used by Chromecast was jointly developed by Netflix and YouTube (and YouTube is Google, obviously).
I think the promotion was to aid in the adoption of Chromecast by new Netflix owners.
Not an apology in the sense of, oh well you can't do much - but an incentive, for what it was at face value.
And the Netflix 3 month pass wasn't just for early adopters - the allotment of those freebies ran out on day 1 of sales.
Few people got in on that.

Nope.
We need a final, not beta, Chromecast SDK. That will allow more apps and if done soon - as in real soon - then they can consider some Chromecast promo for the holidays and have the advantage of buzz in the press over the new apps.
Google just rebranded Google TV as Android TV this past week.
Looks like they're still working at making a rational, cohesive marketing statement on where they stand with TV to me.

I spoke with a Google employee, from what he knows, they're working on a few projects for Chromecast. One he mentioned was mirroring capability. He said the problems that occurred with that were receiving phone calls interrupted the streaming. He also mentioned that Google is aiming for "better experience" on the software end.

Glad to hear someone somewhere is working on something. We've gone nowhere but backwards for the last several months. Makes you wonder what their devlopers can have been up to all this time.
No mention of when the SDK might be released? They have been promising this since the start. Weren't they actually boasting about how quick and easy it would be for developers to get their apps tailored for Chromecast? So where's the code, boys? IMO it's more apps that are needed not poor quality streaming from our phones .

He didn't mention any dates because he didn't know himself. Right now...we're pretty much left in the dark.

Google never said anything about the SDK being released. That was all speculation. The unfortunate part is the Chromecast will never be a completely open sourced product. I have a feeling it will remain mostly locked down as they are aiming it as a mainstream device. Not a developers toy.

Hmmm, well I'm certain I read there was an SDK released to developers at the time the Chromecast itself was released but it was limited to "preview " form for exploration and testing purposes. What would be the point of that if Google did not intend one day to release a full (though not necessarily public) SDK for these guys to get their apps to market?

I have it in Canada and with a few hacks I am able to use Google All Access Music from Canada. Thanks to a Pre Paid Visa and a VPN but this not the way it should be. I even set up a Hulu Plus Account but decided Netflix was fine.

Thanks - knew I had't dreamt it .
So presumably there have been plenty of companies out there who have been preparing apps for the day Google gives them the nod and releases the the code that will allow them to run their work on non-whitelisted devices.

Some, yeah.
Vbukit has an interesting offering in the works. Remote Cast - I'm looking forward to that advancing.
No idea on others. I'm content to wait and see. Vudu is on my wish list.
The defects list is publicly available. I'd hope that those get sorted as well, prior to the release of a lot of apps.

November 13th Update - Anyone Had Anything Yet?

A few days ago www.wired.com and www.mobilephonereviewsuk.com both reported that there was likely to be a fairly sizeable update coming for the N5 today.
So I thought I would start a thread for this.
http://www.mobilephonereviewsuk.com/nexus-5-firmware-update-coming-week-possibly-wednesday/
Apparently Google Now will get even smarter than it currently is, with the voice-based assistant getting some sort of answering back features. Furthermore, Google Now will be able to search apps and launch them to perform tasks and show more Google Now cards based on the user’s location:
But the stuff Google says is coming November 13 is the real gravy, and it’s a shame it isn’t already ladled on. One of those things is the ability to ask you questions — so you might say “text Jennifer” and it will reply “which Jennifer,” and then ask you to dictate the message. It’s also going to get the ability to search inside applications, and launch them to complete tasks for you. So, you might search for a restaurant, and an option in the results shows up for OpenTable, which you’ll be able to fire up and make a reservation. It’s also going to use location cues to drop cards into Google Now, even more so than it does currently. At Yellowstone it will show you geyser times, for example. Sadly, none of this stuff was lit up yet, so I wasn’t able to test it. I’m not dinging the phone for that (and it’s not getting any extra credit), but given how interesting these features are, it’s kind of crazy the phone launched without them.
Mathew Honan
Wired
As we have recently learned, the Nexus 5 is more about Google Search services (Google Now included) than any other Nexus before it, not that it’s a bad thing, especially for Android users looking forward to such an Android experience. However, some of those Google Search feature – essentially the new launcher – will be a Nexus 5 exclusive for now, at least officially, so it’ll be interesting to see whether these new Google Now features will be available for everyone else or not.
However, we’re certainly not surprised to hear that Google Now is getting smarter. We’ll be waiting to see Google’s announcement next week to tell you more details about this apparently imminent Google Now update.
Wired has also learned that the Nexus 5 will get a camera update that will fix existing issues with it – check out these posts for camera comparisons with the Nexus 4 and the iPhone 5S.

nothing here yet

Nothing here yet either!

I really hope that the next update will fix the current software issues too...

hmmm nothing here yet

just checked (at 11.12) and nothing

Oh boy, another rumor thread!
I will be shocked if Google fixes the camera issues this quickly. If it such an easy fix I do not understand why they would release the camera software the way it is currently.
Google just needs to by Kodak or some other company they can fix up. I am sure they can afford to purchase them and better camera's and software in phones is the future right now.

nothing

Google didn't announce a Nexus 5 update like they with the the 4, 7 & 10 yesterday. I doubt it's coming this week.

"On November 13, Felix Unger was asked to remove himself from his place of residence. That request came from his wife. Deep down, he knew she was right, but he also knew that someday, he would return to her. With nowhere else to go, he appeared at the home of his childhood friend, Oscar Madison. Sometime earlier, Madison's wife had thrown him out, requesting that he never return. Can two divorced men share an apartment without driving each other crazy?"

Maybe I am a little slow but I do not get the connection.....
Anyway, the new rumor is that Nexus 5 will be released on November 28th because Kit-Kat posted a picture of a Turkey weighing 28lbs! That is the release date and I am sticking to it!

I will be very surprised if we get an update today or even this month.

Random text on the screen

Updated the Android auto app today, now it looks like this
Anyone else having this issue?

Yeah I see the same thing on my Headunit app.
LOL. Android Auto is not yet ready for prime-time.
Talk about distracting...

Cheers Good to know its not just me then.
Looks like they took a massive step back not forward with this update
Nice work on the Headunit app btw

Actually, it's not entirely random, for me at least.
I see my email on the screen.
This version is marked "dogfood" instead of "release".
"Dogfood" means that Google employees are testing their own software in their real life probably in their cars. Some expression about "eating your own dogfood".
Google screwed up I think. Maybe this version is "water-marked" so that if an employee leaks pictures they can be identified. But such a version should never end up on Play for everyone.
Same comments on Play and another site; I think everyone with the update is seeing this.

What should I do with my recently bought P30 Pro?

After the last two day's news, I'm thinking about what should I do.
Should I sell It and buy a more "future proof" cellphone?
Should I keep It, and install all the future updates that I dont know where they will bring me (HongMeng? An Android without PlayStore)?
Should I keep It and don't install any fookin thing, and use It as a Android 9 until It die (my last phone was a LG, I'm completely used to be without the latest security and system updates)?
About the phone, I got a black 8gb 256gb version and I'm completely lovin' it.
One thing I've already decided: I will retire Gmail and Chrome, and start using ProtonMail and Firefox.

Huawei was already issued a 90 day temporary operation license of sorts so i'm sure within these 90 days, they'd work something out with the US government.
There will always be security updates. How it 'used' to work is, Google used to provide security patches to these companies like a month before they make it public on AOSP. So the only difference now would be that security updates will be released slower than before, maybe a month or two delay? Just my opinion on it. I personally have done some thinking and i've decided to stick to my P30 Pro.

My updates are still coming in

stick with it unless you wont get updates anymore or blocked to use google apps and services why are you worried about the future of your phone? even worst case scenario huawei may unlock the bootloader of the phone and as they announced they are working on their own operating system. the only affected mobile about the ban news is for future huawei phones the current ones and old ones will still work as a normal phone as it should be

Maybe they won't be affected. We have to remeber that Trump is going to make a huge lost of money in USA tech industries. How many dollars Microsoft, Google, Intel and others will lose? Something will happen and there won't be issues in the future.

I think the best way is to sit tight and wait what happens. This ban clearly is a political move to flex some muscle. They will come up with a solution. Just look at the market share of Huawei. If they stop making business with us companies a lot of them will be in severe trouble. Also Google has no interest since Samsung and Huawei are the reason why Android is competing with iOS. If they cut off Huawei and force them to develop their own tech (OS and hardware) they will come back even stronger independent on the Americans. There is a well written article on BBC for more detail.
Sit tight, wait what happens. Don't make a rushed decision that loses you money (selling it now for less than u paid for.)

Hope so. Want to stick with Android. Don't want no HongMeng os.

Can't imagine how the assistant on HongMeng will be like. We'll probably have to activate it by saying, " Ni hao, ah hong " No disrespect to the asians here. Just kidding. In all seriousness, hope they stick to AOSP.

I'm currently hoping unlock codes get back in business and go back to flashing modded roms, kinda miss those ol days.

So actually I bought my p30 pro literally few hours before Trump's decision, and now I am in the same boat as the OP. I love the phone, but at the moment, I don't know what to do : to return it and replace it for s10 pro or stick with it. I really want to keep the Huawei, but shutting down all android services, apps and updates for Maps, Gmail and Drive for example after 90 days is really not an option for me, because I am heavily dependent on Google at work and at home as well. So do you think if it is possible, after those 90 days of temporary google license expire, we will wake up without Google Maps, Drive and if we still have the apps, not receiving updates for them? I strongly need your opinion on that, because I still have some days left in which I can switch to the Samsung.. I should note that I don't care that much for OS updates and it won't be that big of a pain for me. Google apps and app updates are the things that bother me.

no need to worry about already released phone like P30 Pro as it will work as normal (google already clarified this). you will get apps update and etc, only no major OS upgrade ( because it will need new certification/license) if this thing keep going on.

Side note: I hate suckers that offers 300 or 400 for the mighty p30 pro and I hate losers who would actually sell it ... Lol
So we won't get Android Q ? Who cares ! Since u love ur phone with it's strong battery camera and design , don't make it look like it's the end of the world. Ur actual usage won't be effected.

The question is, are we gonna just stuck on Android 9 but we will still get updates for Google app(maps, YouTube, Gmail etc), or we are going to lose updates(or even worse permition to use) Google apps after the 3 months period?

You wont lose any access. Already mentioned numerous times and by google themselves that all current devices will remain the same. Android Q will be delayed and as for security updates, after the temporary agreement is lifted, then it will be delayed as well but most definitely huawei will work something out with google so keep calm. Also Huawei will definitely work something out with google , maybe another extension, etc.

My updates are still working and coming in o. Google Play Store
