I have a Pixel 5 on Android 12 Beta 4. My Pandora app is bright blue still no dark mode. Is there a dark mode available for Pandora on Android? I have read other users questions and there is but I don't see it. And Android 12 beta program is not a reason why I should be able to see the dark mode on my Pandora app on my phone. Thanks for any help.

@AlyssaPandora Hey, thanks very much for the quick response. Hopefully your team will be able to figure out a solution sooner rather than later. Thanks again!

@AdamPandora Hey, so, I know it's a blurry screenshot, but here's the only screen shot from my phone of my recently older battery stats. I hope this helps you out a little bit. Model: Google Pixel 5 Carrier: Verizon Wireless Android version (Settings > About Phone): Android 11 Build number (Settings > About Phone): RQ1D.210105.003 Android Security Patch Level, if noted on your device (Settings > About Phone): January 5, 2021. Pandora version: 2012.1 I hope that helps you out a little bit, thanks very much! Unfortunately, I haven't noticed any other battery patters nor info regarding this battery drain. Like I said, whenever I listen to music, when I'm done listening to music, I just go into the app settings, and force close the app automatically. Blurry Screenshot of battery drainage.

@AdamPandora , I have tried to clear data of Pandora. For the past few times of listening to music on my phone, I have been "Force Closing" Pandora each and every time, just to make sure that I do not have to worry about high Google Play Services background battery drain. I will say that before I started to do the Force Closings on Pandora, whenever I would listen to music for any amount of time, my Pandora battery usage, and my Google Play Services battery usage in my battery usage breakdown was always the highest, and was always at the top. Thanks for helping me out so far. As you can tell, I LOVE troubleshooting, diagnosing, and getting to the root cause of an issue, especially when it concerns my battery life!

Hello there, My name is Eric. I am an advanced Android user with a Google Pixel 5 on Android 11. I've owned Android smartphones ever since Android first came out. I have recently noticed that if I leave Pandora music "Paused" in my background that the background activity usage/Google Play Services battery usage skyrockets which winds up severely draining my battery. What I am forced to do now, is after each music session, I go into the Pandora app settings, and "Force Close" the app from running in the background, and wipe Pandora out of RAM. Android is easily the most multi-tasking capable mobile OS ever, and I shouldn't have to "Force Close" Pandora after each and every "listening session" in order to get good battery. Are there any suggestions you can provide me with? Any help is appreciated, thank you very much!
