Pandora Refuses To Work!

**Txchas** · 07-18-2012, 07:59 AM

I installed Pandora and it played fine yesterday.

Uninstall Pandora, then go to & click on the install link under the barcode image. I'm listening to Pandora right now, flawlessly!

Pandora played on my EVO LTE for 2 weeks when I first got it... now same problem as others. However, as some have noted, it does work when I'm connected to wifi at home, just not on the 3g... I'll try this Songza that baykcd posted, as well as try to install the older version of Pandora from the link he posted as well. Thanks baykcd... if these work

...oh yeah, as far as those complaining about the Sprint network and speed...as far as I'm concerned, for the price it's still worth it. Yes, I wish I had the much faster connection, but if you compare the same plan with ATT and Verizon, you'll be paying much, much more per month. On a family plan, I pay $180 for 3 smartphones, 1500 minutes. My corp discount takes it to about $155 or so. On ATT, the similar plan, with 3gb data limit is over $200 after corp discount... is $45 per month less worth it to me? yes. For you? Maybe/maybe not. In Portland I have good coverage so no complaints.

I kind of feel the same. Granted in central or nothing works great here. We only have 3G for all carriers. And they are all about the same. Slow.

FWIW, I commute 75 miles each way for work. For past year used EVO 4G flawlessly in and out of many different signal strengths without issue. I upgraded to EVO 4G LTE 2 weeks ago and have had this problem ever since; I don't know if it is the phone hardware or Ice Cream platform, but it is an issue with Pandora on LTE - works great on first use, then all subsequent uses loading/buffering/loading/buffering/etc., until I reboot phone and start again. As noted above, on XDA, I found this link to an older version of Pandora 1.5.11 and it now works. Here is the drop box URL: (I see the link above is to 1.5.13, so you may want to go with that newer version)

I'd be curious to know if Ice Cream OS is the common issue here amongst the different phones. Any thoughts?

Yeah this started happening to me out of the blue. Buffers for a couple of seconds, goes to the next song, buffers for a couple of seconds goes to the next song etc.....

Tried rebooting, uninstalling, then reinstalling. Really don't understand what the deal is because Pandora was working fine until today. Been streaming Pandora (through 3G) with no issues at all while at work since I got the phone. Very weird.

Mine started doing this this morning as well. Worked until last night. Some strange problems with the Play Store and Gmail started too. I've unchecked fast boot, cleared data for all (and then some) offending apps, been rebooting. I'll report on Pandora after my drive home, but everything else has kicked back in.

I bought my EVO today and i've been messing with this Pandora issue for 3 hours. It works great now after finding this post. Thanks!

This evening I attempted to open my wife's Pandora on her S3 in the car because we'd bought a indash touch screen receiver for the car that will allow us to stream music from our mobiles via Bluetooth.
Well the Pandora on her Samsung S3 would not load. It recreated the same issue my son was having on his Evo lte. I tried it just now and still won't load a song. It shows a different album cover every second as the grey circle goes around in the middle of the screen.
So my apologies for strongly stating that there was only an issue with the Evo Lte. I just came to that conclusion as I tested my wife's S3 beside my son's Evo repeatedly last week but was only experiencing failure on his Evo.
Now my wife's S3 is failing to load pandora properly

WOOT?

**mfreeland** · 07-24-2012, 03:52 PM

It's a Pandora issue. Worked fine until the last update. Tried all the uninstalling, updating PRL, Profile and reinstalling, with no luck. Uninstalled and found the 1.5.11 version, installed it and it's working fine again...

**jbunchii** · 07-25-2012, 09:13 AM

Same here. Played..."OK" for first two weeks, then buffering, buffering and nothing. My first gen Sprint EVO it played like a charm! Rode across country on my motorcycle and listened to it the whole way; varying signal strengths, still solid as a rock! This new EVO 4G LTE is not working correctly with Pandora. And Sprint has to know about this! :-(

What is sprint going to do about it? They don't make the app for Pandora.

Anytime I hit stop all in the task manager, my Pandora won't work until I reboot the phone.

The 1.5.13 build plays music, but only has album covers in landscape mode (!?). At least I have music again.

Sprint EVO 3d ICS

In searching for this problem, it looks like it's been going on for weeks. You'd think Pandora would have fixed it by now.

Spotify for the win. I may even pay for it. Better the satellite. Cheaper. And its like netflix for music. Eat it.

I wrote Pandora and this was their response: "We're aware that recent Android OS updates have resulted in our app not working on certain devices. We're working with Google on this issue. Thanks so much for your patience in the meantime. "

Thanks a bunch!! This worked. I can live w/o album art until Pandora gets their act together on a fix to the current version.
