Ya, but even trying to make a make shift "station" by creating a playlist out of one song, just wasnt the same as all my Pandora stations. I missed my stations! 🤘 Was like reuniting with an old friend! (Knock on wood) ... View more

Well, seems fixed today. Got another Samsung update yesterday. OneUI 6.1. So tried Pandora today. Ran flawless. I probably skipped 200 songs, turned BT off and back on a few times, got out of the car and it pauses correctly. Wondering if it really was a Samsung issue and they quietly fixed it. I can skip and pause all day and its working. Hope that gives others a bit of hope. ... View more

Same. Not a Spotify fan but dont hate it either. And while still only on the free version, it runs flawlessly! So does YT music. And yes, while this appears to have started with the December Android update/patch, it is definitely only an issue with Pandora. Whos problem it is to fix it could be debated, but thats just how software works. Sane with Windows or any other operating system. The operating system developers need to make changes for security and improvements and all the program and app developers have to adapt to continue to work within the OS environment. Pandora, it would do you well to at least keep us up to speed on progress, at this point. If no update yet, at least an update on progress of a fix, because of the simple fact that it's taking this long! I don't think thats too much to ask. But no. No "we're working on it". No "we are getting close to a fix". No "kiss my a**". Nothing. This is why you're losing subscribers! ... View more

Ya, been a month and a half for me. Setup a free Spotify account today and started playing with it. So for, I dont hate it. Different for sure but I noticed its got a lot more and better settings than Pandora! Got in my truck it actually started playing instantly and I wasnt even intending to at the moment. Connected and played flawlessly! AND......no stupid Unknown/Unknown notification! Family Premium is 16.99 as opposed to Pandora 14.99 so 2 dollar difference. Big deal! Comparible! Probably going to leave our Pandora account alone and give them a couple more weeks chance. But at the same time, start up Spotify Premium. Can always cancel any time if Pandora gets their sh!t together. But they better get ON IT!!! Are you listening Pandora????? ... View more

Just a FYI. Tried it with Android Auto today. Didnt get to do it for long but no issues with wireless Android Auto on a Alpine Halo9. But I also noticed Android Auto runs its sort of own version of Pandora. I had the notification mini player in my notifications but it wasnt actually playing from the phone and wasnt in background apps. Background apps was empty. I hope all that made sense. ... View more

Nope. Tried it. Went into dealer mode and executed repair apps. Looked like it was working at first. But 5 or 6 songs in....same issue. Z Fold5. ... View more

I get that a lot of Pandora's responses are likely AI generated. Maybe not. I don't know. But is this actually going to get fixed? It is very clear that you guys are getting flooded with reports of this issue. It is also very clear this is mainly Verizon Samsung users, after Android 14, One UI 6 update, Pandora 2310.1. That should at least give the developers enough direction to nail this down and find a correction or at least figure out if its Samsung, Android or indeed Pandora. Clearly the repeated suggestions of clearing cache and data don't work. We've all tried it to no avail. Either way it should be easy enough to figure out a patch, I would think. Again, I could be wrong. Remember, some of us are actually paying for this service. Forgive my impatience but this is beyond frustrating and annoying. Samsung threw out another update or patch this morning, Android 14, One UI 6 update 6 but the learn more link that goes to the page that outlines whats in the update didn't list anything on the new update "Update 6". Just lists the changes in update 5(early December) and previous. None the less, it didn't fix the Pandora issue. Likely just a security patch. Anyway, will be really nice when someone can finally find a fix for this. Bugs are one thing but when it makes the app actually unusable, it's more than frustrating. ... View more

Following. Mine is doing the sane thing. When trying to pause, skip, or restart from car stereo or Samsung watch, nothing happens. So I open my Z Fold5 and the controls on the now playing screen are grayed out. Sometimes onky half are grayed out and play/pause and skip are not grayed out but are unresponsive, even on the phone. I also have the Unknown by Unknown notification every time Pandora is closed. But I can swipe it away. The unresponsive control issue is the bigger issue, though. On stations and playlists. Extremely annoying and frustrating. Makes it near useless and we pay for family premium. We did just get an Android 14 software update around Dec. 1st and it does seem like it started with that but I cannot confirm it is related. i really HOPE this is figured out and some sort of update or fix is issued. ...
