Android: Notifications Each Time the Song Changes

[Hayhay]

Everytime I open the app or when the song changes my phone while either chime or vibrate depending on how I have my phone set. I've already turned off all my notifications. How do I fix that?

At every song change one or more chimes occur. Very annoying.  Premium account

@mikerenfro That shouldn't happen - I recommend running through the troubleshooting steps listed here.

While playing music on my Galaxy 8 plus, notification sound goes off for no reason and Pandora music volume lowers itself. I found out that pausing then playing again will restore normal volume. I also notice that notification sound turns on a few times when a new song comes up, not during the song. Any explanation to this error? Thanks!

Hey there, @Hayhay.

Could you tell me a bit more about the device you're using?

• Model:
• Carrier:
• Android version (Settings > About Phone):
• Build number (Settings > About Phone):
• Pandora version:
  • If you can open Pandora, go to Profile, then select Settings. Scroll to the bottom of the screen for the version number.
  • If you can't open Pandora: from Android Home screen > Android Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > Find Pandora

Let me know.

I recently got a galaxy s10e and using Pandora, whether just on the phone or over Bluetooth, whenever the track changes I get a notification sound and the following track plays at a greatly reduced volume. So low I can barely hear it. Pausing and u pausing will bring it back to normal. Likewise, if another app presents something such as maps speaking directions, it'll go back to normal. Incredibly annoying. I have to pause and unpause after every track. Happens with both online and offline listening. Anybody experience a similar situation, have any direction to provide?? Please help

My phone won't stop vibrating when I actually look at the app or when the song changes, is that a new feature?

Hi @Vaultgirl44 thanks for posting to community!

Pandora doesn't access settings on devices. I would recommend checking your phones settings to see if any changes have been made.

U have to go into the app settings and notifications and turn off the notification for the music player

Thank you for posting this @Spit! 👍🏻

I am having this same exact issue. So annoying. 

[AlyssaPandora]

Hi there, @jrockjwilks. 👋

Sorry for any inconvenience this has caused.

Could you try adjusting the music player notifications for Pandora to see if this helps?

You can find out more info about how to do this here.

Let me know if you still have trouble. 🎧

I'm having the same problem on my Samsung galaxy. I recently reset my account and never had this notifications issue before. Now I get a notification every time the song changes. Is there a way to turn this off while still keeping the display in my notifications so I can skip or replay songs from my lock screen?

[AdamPandora]

@Chad19brown You can disable Pandora Push Notifications by opening Pandora on your Android device and going to the Profile tab.

Tap the Settings gear in the top right corner and select Notifications. From here, you can uncheck "Receive notifications from Pandora on this device."

Let me know if this helps.

Disabling the 'Music Player' notification on this screen will remove the Pandora controls from the notification area as well as the lock screen. Here is the real solution:

Tap the 'Music Player' section in the screenshot above (not the toggle, but the words)

Enable 'show notifications'

Choose 'Alert' (instead of Silent)

Disable 'Show as pop-up'

For 'Sound' choose Silent

Turn off 'Vibrate' 'Blink light' and 'App icon badges'

'Lock screen' set to Show content
