Pandora app crashing seconds after it opens.

[mematt69]

Hey all, I seem to be having an issue with the Pandora app. It is an app I use heavily, which it crashing is driving me bonkers.

Here's what happens. I open the app and it stays open until it starts to play/load music. The moment the artist information shows up the app closes itself. I had flashed the debloat script and rooted the phone. Then I disabled swap and of course, installed all my apps. Later I noticed the Pandora app crashing problem. I figured it was probably something the debloat script removed that I might have needed so I recovered to stock and only restored root. Low and behold, Pandora worked fine. I spent an hour or two listening and reading a book. I paused it so I could prepare for bed and when I hit play, it crashed again. Tried rebooting the phone, clearing the apps cache/data and reinstalling. Nothing seems to work. The app is set as a protected app in the settings. Also, I have the KIW-L24(USA) model.

tldr: Read the title

Hoping someone has some hints they could throw my way. It seems curious that the app would work for a few hours then only stop working after I paused and then hit play again. If anyone has any advice, please shoot it my way.

What software build do you have? This issue was previously reported, but it should be fixed by now. Also, what version is the Pandora app?

Build number: KIW-L24C567B140

Pandora: version 6.9.2 (I have Pandora One, just in the off chance that would matter?)

I just cleared the app cache, deleted the app data, uninstalled, then booted into twrp, cleared the dalvik cache and rebooted (as I stated in the first post, I had done this all before). It now seems to be working. If it begins to crash a third time, I'll update.

And it started crashing again. I may have found the culprit. Everything was kosher until I allowed notifications. When I did the app crashed, with near instant crashes there on. Shut off notifications for Pandora in settings and it works like a charm.

Edit: I can repeat this issue by enabling/disabling notifications. A bit annoying, bit at least the app works.

I had just found this issue with my phone too, can't enable notifications, wonder why it does that

Bugs are fun, no? The phone is new, you'll always find a few.

Have you tested with the new Pandora 7.0?

Google Play shows 6.9.2 as up to date. If you could explain how to download Pandora 7.0, I will try it out.

Good find, thank you. I had the exact problem, tried the exact same fixes. Disabling notifications fixed instantly. CM can't come soon enough.

I have now updated to Pandora 7.0, the issue is still there.

I'm using an unofficial build uploaded by bandit development. It works fine and everything runs very smoothly. The only things that don't work are the fingerprint reader, the back camera, and the back flash.
