@jmhoyas01 Thanks for sharing your thoughts and experience, I understand how it can feel frustrating when you’re looking for a solution and are met with more questions.
The reason we ask for those details is because Pandora can be used in many different ways across a wide range of devices and setups. Even if two experiences sound similar, the cause can vary depending on things like the device, connection, or settings. Gathering a bit more context helps us better understand what’s happening in your specific case so we can investigate effectively and, when needed, share the right details with the appropriate teams.
I do see that you mentioned you’re having trouble on your Android device. One of the more common reasons for playback stopping on Android is related to battery optimization settings, which can limit app activity in the background.
To help rule that out, please try the following:
- Open your device Settings, then tap Apps
- Locate and select Pandora (you can use the search option if needed)
- Tap Battery
Since Android devices can vary quite a bit by manufacturer and model, the exact steps may differ slightly. If these options don’t match what you’re seeing, I recommend looking up how to manage battery optimization for your specific device and ensuring Pandora is set to run without restrictions.
Let me know how it goes.
