Android: "We've encountered an unexpected error."

[TheTubaSteve]

Any time I select any song, playlist, or podcast, I receive the error message above. I have a premium account, and this only happens on my phone. Using a Samsung Note 20Ultra. I have attempted to uninstall and reinstall the app, force stop it in the app manager, log out and back in, reset my phone multiple times and nothing has fixed the issue. As stated above, I am still able to access and use my account via my PC or xbox, this issue is only happening on my phone.

Hey there, @TheTubaSteve. 👋

Sorry that you're receiving this error message when you attempt to listen from your Samsung Note device. Did you get a chance to try clearing the app data too? 

If not, could you try out these steps while I have a trace enabled on your Pandora account?

From your Android Settings, please try clearing the Pandora app data using the following steps (not to worry, we'll keep track of your profile and collection for you):*

1. Open your device Settings
2. Tap Apps
3. Scroll down to find Pandora
4. Select Storage
5. On the storage details page tap Clear Data.

*Pandora Premium and Premium Family listeners may need to re-download some of their offline content after this. Pandora Plus users, however, should receive that offline content again automatically. If you have any trouble with your offline stations after this, please let us know.

Device Details:

I'd also like to report your issue to our engineering team. Can you send over a bit more info about your device?

• Wireless Carrier:
• Android version (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

Are you connected to Wi-Fi or cellular data when this is happening?

Let me know how it goes. Thanks again for reporting this. 🎧

I am also getting this error on the bobby bones podcast and only for the newer podcasts January 1 on. I have a Samsung S20 fe through AT and T. I cleared my app data and cache and it still won't work.

I'm experiencing this issue and have tried everything.  I have a galaxy s22.   I've stopped using Pandora on my pone due to this unending annoyance.  Unbelievable that this hasn't been corrected after literally years.
