App crashing at Launch

[jettj97]

For some reason whenever I go to launch my Pandora it instantly closes and I can't log on it. I pay for Pandora premium too and if I can't get it to work I'll probably cancel it. I've tried deleting the app and reinstalling it twice and tried restarting my phone but nothing has worked. Anyone have any ideas?

Sorry to hear that @jettj97 

Have you tried clearing the app data? If not, I'd recommend giving it a try to see if it will help. 

From your Android Settings, please try clearing the Pandora app data using the following steps

*Please Note: Pandora Premium listeners may need to re-download some of their offline content after this. 

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.

Keep in mind that the steps for each Android device is slightly different. If you have a Pixel, you can find helpful steps here.

You will be asked to log into your account after completing these steps.

Let me know if the app is still crashing at launch

[jettj97]

I just tried this and nothing changed and app is still crashing as soon as I open it.

[TannerPandora]

Okay, darn. @jettj97 

Can you let me know the Pandora version you're on. Since you can't open the app, you should be able to use the following steps to find it. 

from Android Home screen> Android Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > Find Pandora

[jettj97]

Yes, I am on version 2004.2.

[TannerPandora]

Thanks @jettj97 . You're on the latest version. I'd like to go ahead and report this to our engineers. 

Can you send over some info about your device?

• Model:
• Android version (Settings > About Phone):
• Build number (Settings > About Phone):
• Android Security Patch Level, if noted on your device (Settings > About Phone):

[jettj97]

Yes, it's a Samsung Galaxy s8, build number ppr1.180610.011.g950usqs7dtb3, and all it says for security patch level is March 1st 2020.

I am having the same issue on my Pixel XL 4. Where can i sent my information to?  I am on day 5 of no pandora premium. I click on the app, I get the black screen of it loading, then it closes. I then get 2 or 3 pop ups saying Pandora isnt responding, close, ok and send feedback are my options. I have been doing this for 5 days now. I am running version 2007.1, there have not been updates.  I also am experiencing issues loading Pandora on Android Auto. When I select it, the loading circle just spins and spins. I have cleared the cache from the app, but not cleared the storage. I just got scared that all my playlists would go away.

Hey, @jillys110580. 👋

I edited your original post to include your second post above on this thread: App Crashing at Launch

I'm sorry for the continued trouble. I completely understand how frustrating this is. 

You can also try clearing the Pandora app data using the following steps not to worry, we'll keep track of your profile and collection for you. This means your collection, playlists, stations, podcasts, and thumb feedback will remain intact. However, you may need to re-download your offline content after performing those steps.

Thanks so much for sharing your experience and device information. In the meantime, I've gone ahead and reported this issue over to our engineering team. They are aware of the app crashing for some Pixel users.

Appreciate your patience while they work on this! 🛠
