Starting around June 1 or so, Pandora has started displaying a "waiting for connection error" whenever I start it. I choose to retry and it connects, whether I am in a wifi or cellular signal. Most times it plays one song then seems to pause indefinitely until I unlock my screen and view the app. The song that is supposedly playing stops, the screen seems to refresh and the next song or advertisement plays. I have gone through all of the recommended troubshooting for Android devices including uninstalling it. That worked until coincidentally, DuckDuckGo sent a notification informing me about the blocked app trackers in the last hour. So, I'mfiguring it has to do with the app tracker blocking feature in the DuckDuckGo app.
Checkout the attached screenshots as it shows in one hour, 12,475 tracking attempts across 6 companies in just the Pandora app!
Seriously that is excessive and incredibly obtrusive!
Regardless any suggestions on how to resolve this? It worked a few weeks ago and I was using the app tracker blocking in DuckDuckGo then too. I've been using it since it came out and Pandora worked fine.
