Android: Multiple issues when using the app

Ddmay4 — Tue, 23 Jan 2024 16:22:47 GMT

Is anyone else having these problems? Not being able to pause skip or replay songs without restarting the app. The app just randomly shutting off. The app just randomly starts playing on restart of phone. I pay for this service and lately it been really upsetting me that it isn't working half the time.

Hi @Wopr

Welcome to community!

Thanks for posting. Just to confirm, does your experience only occur when connected in your Ford?

Re: Android: Multiple issues when using the app

regfla246 — Fri, 05 Apr 2024 15:59:12 GMT

Yes, only when connected to Ford Sync.

Yes, always, only time it does, but it's the only time I use it with Bluetooth as well.

Re: So many bugs and glitches

Yes I've been having so many problems with Pandora. They let songs play and overlap each other. Also they don't have a scroll bar if you're playlists are long it takes forever to get to the bottom to the newer songs it doesn't make sense why I pay so much for this app and get so little. They need to step up their game or they're going to lose to the other apps

Yes I am, same phone as you. My son has the same problem on a different android, and it's not working for my wife on her apple. Same vehicle Bluetooth issues as well. I'm about to give up and find a different service...

Update

Krazedaydrem — Sun, 07 Apr 2024 13:56:50 GMT

Multiple issues, when is this getting updated and patched.... app is becoming unusable!!!

I have the same issues as well.

Whenever I shutoff my vehicle pandora keeps playing, it randomly stops allowing me to skip songs or pause them. Quite often it will start playing two songs at the same time. I have to restart the app in order to get it to stop, and this is only a temporary fix because it usually happens again within 5 songs.

I have a galaxy s23 ultra 5g, every time pandora updates there are more and more problems. I'm really close to canceling my premium and switching apps

Exact same here on S23 Ultra with Verizon. Started after an update last year. I figured I would give some time for them to correct the issue, but it sure feels like they just don't care.

In addition to the problems you've listed, I also sometimes end up with an unresponsive app where I can't search, skip, etc., but this usually resolves itself after I let a song play out. Just fix it already. I pay for this.

I just updated my Sync 1 in my 2016 F150 to V5.11. Most of the problems in my truck have resolved except, the app will not fully open and start playing music as it used to do- It will open in background but not fully open and play music although my settings are selected for that. I believe this is a Sync problem as it cannot find my Pandora app on my phone as it used to.

When it connects to bluetooth I get a message on Sync "Cannot repeat this track" , then the problem i just listed (will not fully open) happens.

It allows skipping and all other problems are gone.

As I stated, I updated my radio controls to latest versions and most problems went away.

This is just not a Pandora problem,,, make sure your music controller in your vehicle is up to date.

Hey, update your Sync if you have one and see how it works. I did and most problems went away.

Thanks for the feedback and to the ones that have suggested possible fixes. These issues have happened across multiple listening devices (including two car stereos, bluetooth headphones, and even just playing on the phone) and didn't start until the update at the end or the year 2023. Other times, I have no issues at all and everything works as intended. The 3 biggest nuances are running in the background, the unresponsive app through a random track, and playing through the phone upon getting out of the car (random, never know when it will do this or function correctly). Hopefully it is resolved soon. GregSent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy smartphone
