Hi there, @brigos65. 👋

Sorry to hear that you're having trouble with this.

What happens when you attempt to open the Pandora app? Does it crash or freeze?

Are you receiving any error messages when this happens? If so, what exactly does it say?

Have you tried running through the standard steps? If not, please try out the following: Android Troubleshooting

Let me know if this helps. 🎧

I've had pandora so long my account is set up with an AOL email. For the past few days the app does not work. I have Uninstalled, reinstalled, restarted my phone, cleared my data, changed my battery settings,  changed the quality settings and every other step in the troubleshooting message. **ahem** IS GOING ON?!?!?! Also your "if this doesn't work use this link for help" is trash for mobile. 

I've had the same issue for days, followed all of the troubleshooting instructions and it only opens once. If I close it I have to go through the entire process all over again.

I'm having the same issue on my samsung s10, I've uninstalled and re-installed, cleared data and cache, restarted the phone, it won't load the app with or without wifi on.

Samsung s10, AT&T, Android 12, Pandora 2203.1 (Android-Tuner 22031001), it happens with or without wifi on, no error msg - just the P blip then it says cancel or re-try. I have to close Pandora, clear the cache, restart the phone then it will open. But if I have to close the app again, I have to clear the cache and restart the phone. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling and it didn't help.

Thank you for getting back to me with that information, @DodgeluvnMama. I've shared this on an internal ticket with our engineering team for you.

We appreciate your patience during this process. 🎧

This exact same problem is being reported under the thread "Waiting to connect." Still not resolved after over 2 weeks.

Same problem on S10e

@Artms Could you tell me a bit more about what is happening?

1. Is there an error message? If so, what does it say?
2. Can you provide me with a screenshot of what you're seeing?

Thanks for working with me on this. 🤝

It never opens just pulses. It started a week or so ago. I have done all suggestions like others. When I download and install I log in and it connects but only then. It will not reconnect unless I uninstall and reinstall and will only do it once. Only one time it connected when with the OK Google open pandora.

I also recently bought a car and subscribed to Sirius so I could use the Pandora. 

Thanks for your effort. BTW my phone updated about a week ago. This occurs with WIFI or Verizon mobile data. Doesn't matter.

Hi. Android version 12. I can't open Pandora but I just downloaded it so it's  current.TY

It's version 12 and whatever the current Pandora is since I installed a new download.

Same issue, started after last update about two weeks ago like everyone else is reporting. App pulses, had opened once or twice after being patient but nothing past few days. Samsung S21 ultra also fully updated. Can't even log in anywhere to cancel my premium because I keep being redirected to the app

Pandora opens to show the P and then closes. Already tried rebooting, uninstalling/reinstalling, clearing cache and data.  Odd thing is that OneDrive is also experiencing the same problem.  No other apps are having this issue.

My phone is a new release so I'm hoping that it's just that and an update will soon fix the issue. Thanks for your help.
