Thanks for the update on OnePlus and Android 12. I seem to recall that the nearby devices permission was not set by default so you might want to check that. I also have a One Plus 8 but it is the verizon branded version. Don't know when and if VZW will update it. Last week I got an AAWireless Android Auto dongle from Amazon. Works great in my 2017 Honda CRV. Had to enable the GM fix in the AAWireless app (go figure! GM fix for a Honda!) so I could disable the bypass mode and get all the features of the dongle. Lots more info in https://www.reddit.com/r/AndroidAuto/ if anyone is interested. ... View more

I want to respond to the last two comments by Fhb and dabruns.  I mentioned a couple of weeks ago about a software concept called backwards compatability.  It's what allows your favorite application to run on multiple versions of Windows.  For example, the same version of an application can run on Windows 11, Windows 10, and possibly Windows 8 and 7.  It's not too complicated.  Pandora failed to do that here.  They could easily have had the app look to see what version of Android it was running on.  If it was something less than Android 12, it could have perhaps forced code in the app to assume the nearby devices setting was on even though the setting did not actually exist.  That's one method.  Other workarounds exist.   I also cannot upgrade my phone.  It's a 2 year old Verizon branded phone and they have not released Andriod 12 for it although they still release the security updates, so it's not dead yet.   As for side-loading an older version of the app.  That's up to you.  I vetted the older version and where it came from as best I could and I could not find any complaints about the source so I did the downgrade.  But, as I said, you have to make that decision for yourself. ...

Regarding the Android 11/12 issue.  Unfortunately, my phone is a verizon branded OnePlus8.  It's on Android 11 and Verizon has not upgraded it to version 12.  I kind of doubt they will.  That aside, the developers could have easily written the app so that it could tell which version of Android it was running on and "do the right thing."  It's called backward compatibility.  Very common in software development.  Probably take an additional 2 or 3 lines of code.  How could they not consider this?  Who's doing the software development?  And don't tell me to buy a new phone.  It's still actively getting security updates. ...

Wondering if anyone has contact info (email address, etc.) for any high level person (CEO, CTO, President, VP) who would be willing to contact them and let them know the problem we are all having and the deafening silence from Pandora on the issue. ... View more

I think a new version has appeared in the Android store. Version 2210.2.  Any bets? @TannerPandora can you please get a more detailed update that would include the progress the developers are making and an estimated delivery date for a working application?  Honestly, my subscription comes due in December and I am seriously considering not renewing it.   ...

Just noticed that Pandora updated their Android app to version 2210.1.  It's dated Oct 12 but did not appear until today, Oct 20.  Who wants to be the first to try it and see if they fixed it? ... View more

Looks like Pandora released yet another update on October 4.  Version 2209.2.1.  I have not yet tried it so it is unknown if this solves the problem. ... View more

Got another update on 9/19.  Version 2209.1.  It did not fix the problem of connecting to the built in pandora app in my car's entertainment system.  It is still broken.   ... View more

I have a 2017 CR-V and it appears the latest update broke the app in just the way you describe.  it also connects via Android Auto along with regular bluetooth.  It will no longer connect to the car's pandora app.  I left a comment about this in the google play store. I even tried deleting and reinstalling the app on my phone, rebooting the phone,  and also rebooting the entertainment system in the car.  Nothing fixed it so I think it's a safe assumption that the latest update broke it.  I'm not sure how to officially report this to Pandora. If I find a way, I will. ++ It appears the last update broke it. I have a 2017 Honda CR-V. It works fine through Android Auto and the plain old bluetooth connection but not through the specific built in pandora app in the car. I did everything you did plus rebooted the entertainment system in the car and nothing fixed it. Don't worry about clearing data/cache. You automatically did that when you deleted and reinstalled the app on your phone. ++ Yup. Similar message in my 2017 Honda CR-V. Latest update broke the app just like you describe. Hopefully they update the app to either fix it or back out the change they made. Moderator Edit: Merged posts   ... View more
