@jandj I moved your post over to the Android space since it sounds like this issue is only happening on your Samsung tablet.

Pandora stick on blue screen;won’t play

Pandora will no longer play on my Sunlighten mPulse sauna Android control tablet. The tablet is running Android 9. Pandora previously worked normally on this device.

I have cleared Pandora’s cache and storage, force stopped it, completely uninstalled and reinstalled it from Google Play, rebooted the tablet, tested multiple Wi-Fi networks, and tested multiple Pandora accounts. The accounts work normally on other devices, but Pandora will not play on this tablet.

The device meets Pandora’s published Android 7.0+ requirement.

I am aware of the recent October 2026 report of another Android tablet freezing on Pandora’s blue startup screen. Please enable diagnostic tracing on my account and escalate this to Android engineering rather than repeating the standard troubleshooting steps, as those steps have already been completed.
