Pandora radio

[ekoulak]

Hey guys any of you use pandora? If so do you use the widget? I had plenty of android devices prior to the g2 (eris, droid 1, cliq, nexus one, hd2 on android) and all of them had the widget to put on one of the home screens. With the g2 however I cannot find it!? I did send an email to the dev but I wanted to see if any of you can see the widget.

Thanks for your help.

It's because you have Pandora installed to your SD card. For the widget to appear you have to have it installed on the phone. You can't just move it to the phone from the SD card. You need to uninstall it then reinstall it so it installs onto the phone for the ability to see the widget.

I realize that this is a completely useless response, but the Panodra widget shows up on my G2 in the exact same manner as it did on my G1. Long press, widgets and scroll down and hit the Pandora icon and there it is..... Wish I could help more, but that's all I got.

EDIT.... good God I'm slow.... and now it's making me wait 5 minutes to add this edit....

My Pandora sounded like crap so I un-installed it. I like Slacker better anyways...lol

I agree Pandora does sound like crap especially compared to last.fm but last.fm won't play an entire song without skipping to the next! What's the deal with that?

Seems you guys pandora sounds bad but I play it through earbuds and I can't complain. Maybe I'm deaf.

Pandora sounding bad is an issue with Android 2.2 Froyo and the AAC+ audio.. will hopefully be fixed in a future OTA.

Also make sure you go to pandora preferences and set the audio quality to high. Its on low by default.

I started a thread like this on the other Sub-Forum for the G2

I e-mailed both HTC and Pandora and all they do is point fingers at each other.

I really hope a fix is in the works. I'm gonna email HTC again and let them now what the Pandora rep told me by e-mail.

Slacker is way better than Pandora. Just saying. Try it!
