Using Pandora

[kbrn]

I Use Pandora almost every day and I had no problems with it on my Samsung Moment. (even though a lot of ppl. had problems)
I'm having problems now with the Shift.
It starts plays almost a song then pauses for seconds and then plays a new song and again just "Almost" and so on.. with every song.

I wonder if this is just related to our Shifts??

Thanks

I just opened up pandora to test and had no problems. I let it play through 3 songs without issue. Are you stock?

I've had this issue with my Hero and Shift regardless of ROM... however, I can pin it down locations. Basically it's a signal issue. Small interruptions in 3G can really through Pandora off it seems.

In places I have a solid signal, (or good days in the neighborhood around the office) I have no issues with Pandora on my Shift.

I live in a place where There's only one dead spot in the middle of an intersate..
Anywhere else at least 20 miles around I get perfect signal

I have had the exact issue you are talking about. It just started this last weekend.

Check the network speed in that area. I get the same thing on my side of town (slow as help)

Are you having this problem while connected via wi-fi, or via 3/4G? If the latter, have you tried disabling the broken Sprint proxy? I would post a link, but apparently I haven't made enough posts here to be allowed to help people. Meanwhile, you can search XDA for "sprint proxy" if you feel this may be your issue.

Pandora has been pretty crappy for me lately. In fact, it's been crappy for the last few months. But over the last week, I had some times where it just wouldn't load a song or play 3/4 of the song and then just stop and go to the next. My main issue is that one of the more recent updates turned off the feature that would stop the music when bluetooth was disconnected. I use it in my car with bluetooth and in the old days, I would turn off the car and playback would stop but now it just switches back to the phone. Really annoying! But yeah, pandora and slacker both equally suck but in different ways

Yeah I did the proxy fix which doesn't really help or make any difference for me.
Other users haven't seen a difference either, seems to work different depending the area you're in.

Haven't tried the app using wifi though cause I don't have a reliable signal right now

Use Pandora everyday, no issues. Use it about an hour plus total per day . Day would suck without it.

Yea I have the same issue every song .. wifi no prob. Even when I have a good 3g signal all bars are solid still plays almost one song then cuts out. Whats weird is when i had my old Iphone 3g no issues. I'm gonna try my lastfm see if it has the same issues.

Cheers guys.

If you're rooted, this may help... I had issues with youtube, but did this fix and now I'm good to go... You can get your msl if you aren't rooted, but it's way easier to just use the root app...

Yeah, the proxy fix helped me. I couldn't play pandora at all till I did that

Potential solution for your issue with Pandora

Give the Sprint technical support team a call from a landline at 1-888-211-4727 or stop into a Sprint corporate store. There is a known issue with both the HTC 4G handsets in which any app that streams media data may sporadically fail. There is a temporary solution in place until a manufacturer release corrects it. Sprint's technical support representatives can push a soft patch to your handset which should correct the issue you're experiencing. It's called a soft patch because if you have to hard reset your HTC EVO Shift 4G for any reason, the patch will have to be repushed to it. Tell the technical support representative/retail store employee to type CEBU into their internet browser and they'll see the tool they need to use for the push.

Pandora 3g issues

I set my phone to Edge only and now I have no issues with streaming from Pandora.
