Pandora on my phone sucks. It skips and clicks and jams up all the time. I've even force closed, then un-installed, then re-installed it, and I still have the same problems. My brother has a Droid and he says he uses Slacker all the time on his phone so I decided to try it.. It works PERFECTLY! No more skips and horrible noises while I try to listen to the radio on my phone and it works in the same concept as Pandora.
I just wanted to share this with anyone that has the same issues that I have with Pandora and really would like to be able to listen to the radio on their Moment. BTW, i thought that it would use a lot of battery, but it really doesn't seem to. I also got a little cable on ebay that has two male ends like a headphone jack. I plug one end into the headphone hole on my phone and the other end into the "aux" hole in my truck, and it works GREAT through my truck's stereo system.
Well...I updated to DE03...and *love* it...with a couple of exceptions....
First, I seem to be missing my Voicemail app. The phone works...but there is *no* indicatoin of any voicemails.... unless, of course, I dial my own number....at which point the pleasant voice says: "You have 15 new voicemails...First new voicemail..."
So...what did I *fail* to install? (and yes...I'm using the basic phone dialer...nothing fancy...and BTW...my Contacts are fine...)
And second...my Calendar App seems to be messed-up...the Icon is there...but when i open it...it force-closes immediately.
Third...i seem to have issues with my GPS...perhaps The Navigator is greedy...but it seems that something in my GPS doesn't like to share...if i try and use two different apps that utilize GPS...it stops working, and i have to reboot to get the GPS to function again.
Lastly...i seem to get a black-screen lockup for no discernable reason....pulling the battery fixes it...but that is (obviously) pretty annoying.
Yesterday morning my phone started freezing..It always freezes but like real bad so i took the battery out and put it back in and turned it on and it went all the way to the screen where samsung is across it and black in the background and stayed there for 20 minutes and it wouldnt boot past that so i did it again and this time it stayed there for 40 minutes so i called technical support and they refreshed my device and that didnt work so they said to bring it to a store to have it checked out...
I have done this before and all they did was reset the whole phone so i didnt wanna waste my time waiting for the phone to be ready to be picked up so i did a hard reset myself and wiped the cache.It is force closing everythng and still freezes..Is there anything else i can do or am i going to be forced to go to the store?.....
I've been using Slacker Radio (version 2.0.84) quite happily for the past couple months on the Moto Droid (OS version 2.1).
Over the last month, I've had at least 4 times when the radio starts blasting while the phone is in the charger in the middle of the night. The last two times, it seems to have happened at 3:25 or 3:26 am. The other times it went crazy it may have been the same time.
Has anyone else experienced this and perhaps has a fix?
Coming from a Blackberry Storm, I had Slacker Radio and it was one of the first apps I downloaded on my new Eris yesterday. However, I am finding that the ability to cache radio stations to your media card is missing from the features of the Android app. The cache was extremely useful as it wouldn't force the data connection and thus helped to conserve battery life.
Is there an alternative app for radio that will cache stations or do I need to hit up the Slacker team to get an update to the Android App?
I just downloaded Slacker 1.0.375 (I think) and have found a huge sound quality issue...
I'm currently using Shure SE310 earbuds on multiple devices and have noticed no issues with their quality... I also use Pandora (on my droid) with no quality issues... So I know it is neither the earbuds or the 3.5mm headphone jack on my droid...
What I notice with Slacker is that the bass, probably 50%-75% of the time, comes through with a lot of distortion / crackling... It is apparent at all volume levels that the music is actually audible and varies across all music genres...
I know other Hero users are having the same problem, and so far Slacker support has not fixed. One the screen sleeps it will finish the current song but not play a next song until you unlock the screen. I even have an app that keeps the screen from locking but allows it to go black and that causes the same issue. Anyone have a suggestion? This makes it where I can only use Slacker with the screen on which make the app almost worthless.

View 7 Replies View Relatedok so I do know that due to the amazing OTA from sprint and HTC, that our streaming services such as pandora and slacker pretty much sucks when it comes to listening to it. I have however noticed that when using both slacker and pandora it seems to take quite a bit longer. Usually it loads the whole song in a matter of seconds but now it pretty much streams it live and if you loose sig within a whole second or two it stops. Thus resulting in using more battery. Is this because of the format change or something like that?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI just received the latest ota. Is there a way to stop slacker from running all the time other than manually pushing stop through the applications tab?
View 4 Replies View RelatedSo I used to be able to have google navigation running, pandora or slacker in the background playing music, and even take a call or two all at the same time.
When navigation spoke some directions, the music would halt just for the time being then play right away once directions were done.
NOW, however, I'm guessing due to the froyo update - if I have pandora playing and navigation running, directions comign up halts the music as before, but instead of resumign automatically, I have to manually go back into pandora and hit play again. Even worse, in slacker, it will pause the music, but when it "resumes" it does so by skipping to the next song!
Has anyone experienced this change or does anyone know what I can do to get things back to normal (except remove froyo if even possible). I like the other changes froyo brought other than this one.
This doesn't always happen but when it does, Slacker stops playing after every 2 or so songs. I get a message box that reads "Warning! Unable to find active data or WiFi connection. Would you like to quit the application?" and gives me Yes or No options. Clicking No returns me to the Stations list where selecting any station returns me to the one previously playing and starts the next song when I hit Play.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI just installed the 2.2 update on my Incredible. Don't know if it's me but it seems a tad bit slower than the last OS. I'm also noticing on my Advance Task Killer that I have Skype, Amazon MP3, Slacker, Kik, and other applications open most of the time without even touching the apps. Also pressing KILL all applications does not do the job! I gotta hold the application and press force stop myself.
Also earlier today I noticed I got incoming and missed calls from people in my phonebook, but when checking my call logs, it doesnt show their name it just the number and thats it.
So if anyone else is experiencing this please or has a solution to this please reply back.
In the short time that I've used Slacker radio, my phone has rebooted itself twice. At the time I was on Wifi and was skipping a lot of songs. Has this happened to anyone else? Is this a software or hardware issue?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI just got my Droid but I frequently use Pandora and Last.FM on my computer at work. Last.FM - Seems like the service has a better list of artists than Pandora so i switched to it on my PC recently. On Android the service is the same but as an app it tends to be open in the background all the time and suffers from not being able to pause (like the PC version). The scrobbling could be nice for some users and it links to the android player. Sound Quality seems excellent, best of the three so far. Pandora - Haven't gotten to use it too much because it takes so long to load my station. Sound Quality seemed fine with my limited use.
Slacker Radio - Has the most music options of the three and seems likes the best application. It has plenty of options like keeping the screen from freezing while plugged in and on wifi without having to change your phone settings. Had to stop listening from poor sound quality though! Sound Quality started ok but a bassy boom and click started appearing after a few songs, forced to switch to Last.FM.
I have recently experimented with creating an easy way to open a ProgressDialog up in a second thread, so if the main thread freezes the dialog will keep working. Here is the class: public class ProgressDialogThread extends Thread
public Looper ThreadLooper;
public Handler mHandler;public ProgressDialog ThreadDialog;
public Context DialogContext;
public String DialogTitle;
public String DialogMessage;
public ProgressDialogThread(Context mContext, String mTitle, String mMessage)
{ DialogContext = mContext;
DialogTitle = mTitle;
DialogMessage = mMessage;
} public void run()
{ Looper.prepare();
ThreadLooper = Looper.myLooper();
ThreadDialog = new ProgressDialog(DialogContext);
ThreadDialog.setTitle(DialogTitle);
ThreadDialog.setMessage(DialogMessage);
ThreadDialog.show();
mHandler = new Handler();
Looper.loop();
} public void Update(final String mTitle, final String mMessage)
{ while(mHandler == null)
synchronized(this) {
try { wait(10); }
catch (InterruptedException e) {
Log.d("Exception(ProgressDialogThread.Update)", e.getMessage() == null ? "MISSING MESSAGE" : e.getMessage());
mHandler.post(new Runnable(){
@Override
public void run() {
ThreadDialog.setTitle(mTitle);
ThreadDialog.setMessage(mMessage);
public void Dismiss()
{ while(ThreadDialog == null || mHandler == null)
synchronized(this) {
try { wait(10); }
catch (InterruptedException e) {
Log.d("Exception(ProgressDialogThread.Dismiss)", e.getMessage() == null ? "MISSING MESSAGE" : e.getMessage());
mHandler.post(new Runnable(){
@Override
public void run() {
ThreadDialog.dismiss();
public void Continue()
{ while(ThreadLooper == null || mHandler == null)
synchronized(this) {
try { wait(10); }
catch (InterruptedException e) {
Log.d("Exception(ProgressDialogThread.Continue)", e.getMessage() == null ? "MISSING MESSAGE" : e.getMessage());
mHandler.post(new Runnable(){
@Override
public void run() {
ThreadLooper.quit();
However it sometimes work perfectly but other times the application simply freezes and crashes eventually.Here is an example of use:ProgressDialogThread thread = new ProgressDialogThread(this, "Loading", "Please wait...");
thread.start();
// Do Stuff
thread.Dismiss();
thread.Continue();It generates a lot of warning and even some crashes sometimes: eg. Handler: Sending message to dead thread.and exceptions like ANR
This morning I had a system update waiting for my on my G1.... It took quite some time to download just like the last update (Cupcake).. now I am having problems loading my phone.
I have the aHome application installed and I use that as my primary operating system (if you can call it that).
Now when my phone restarted after the update downloaded, it keeps giving me errors such as:
"The application aHome (process mobi.bbase.ahome) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."
The application Messaging (process mobi.bbase.ahome) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."
These errors repeatedly pop up and will not let any of my desktop load up or will it let me get into the system settings menu.
What should I do?! I've spent too much time customizing my phone for this friggin' update to just come along and destroy it all...
I have two activities running video view when i move from activity one to activity two , the video in activity two is freezed. I have tried the second activity alone without moving to it from activity one and the video works fine , so where is the problem ?
View 1 Replies View RelatedHave been having issues with MyTouch 4G freezing. According to community area, minimum amount of available internal device space for Android device is 25 MB. This amount was first determined by Android to be for the G1 which only had 126 MB of internal device available space. My question is, with Android phones having more available space ie: MyTouch 4g 4GB ROM and 512 MB RAM, should the available internal phone storage be higher than 25MB in order to run properly? It would seem to me that if the phone had more available internal phone storage, the available space needs to be proportionally greater to run properly.

Every video I go to play just freezes in the loading screen or when I click the video. It eventually force quits or goes back to home page. I really would like to look at youtube videos on my phone but now I cant.

However if you press end key again.Phone is getting back to normal state and starts taking touch events.
Last night I noticed that there is an update to Slacker, so I downloaded it to my Incredible. Opened it to see if there were any visible differences, went to a station and played a song for 2 seconds, selected quit via the menu, and then "shutdown slacker" at the end. This morning I open up Spare Parts, check the battery history/partial wake usage, and Slacker is at the top, bar all the way to the right.
View 12 Replies View RelatedWhen my EVO is charging it freezes as to become almost completely unusable. Finger presses, swipes, etc. are only barely registered, if at all. Multitouch completely doesn't work. The 4 buttons at the bottom rarely work.
The problem persists across multiple chargers, even the stock charger, and it doesn't matter whether I'm plugged in to the wall or into my PC via USB. But here's the confusing part: the problem only seems to occur when I plug in at work. I've never experienced the problem when charging at home. Is the voltage in my outlets at work somehow screwed up? Too much/little/inconsistent power?
I've only had my EVO for about 25 days, so should I try to exchange it? It would be a pain since I'm already rooted, customized, etc. but it would probably be worth the inconvenience if it would fix the problem.
Since we got the phones mine has been fine and my wife has had nothing but trouble. Her phone reboots all the time and freezes. We finally went to the Sprint store Friday and they determined hers was bad and sent her a new(refurb). We received it last night. We activate the new one and this one is worse. She has had it reboot 3 times today alone. It also keeps freezing on her.
Another strange issue the new phone is having is when she clicks on an email in the Gmail app the screen flashes like it is going to open the email and it just goes right back to the inbox.
Did she get 2 bad phones ? Now we have to go back to the Sprint store again. She also only receives one out of every three of my text messages.
Lately my phone has been freezing a LOT while texting. I'm using handcent. No fancy contact pictures, just simple iphone setup with black and white. I don't have a lot of apps on my phone, I have froyo, I don't have a lot of music on it, I mean.. I text a lot, but lately this slowdown has been pretty bad. Freezing every few minutes, locking up, having to lock the phone unlock it to work, sometimes having to reboot it.
View 2 Replies View RelatedIm having this big issue with my handcent freezing when i open the app, it also freezes when i recieve messages. Ive deleted apps to see if that was the issue but nothing helped.

It says "Freezing "FM Radio 1.00"..." and just sits there. I tried it with the Amazon MP3 as well, but gave up waiting after 10 minutes and rebooted. When it came up, it showed that the Amazon MP3 is frozen. Figured that it worked, but its stuck again. Am I doing something wrong? Do I really need to reboot after each freeze?
