I Use Pandora almost every day and I had no problems with it on my Samsung Moment. (even though a lot of ppl. had problems)
I'm having problems now with the Shift.
It starts plays almost a song then pauses for seconds and then plays a new song and again just "Almost" and so on.. with every song.
I wonder if this is just related to our Shifts??
Thanks
I just opened up pandora to test and had no problems. I let it play through 3 songs without issue. Are you stock?
I've had this issue with my Hero and Shift regardless of ROM... however, I can pin it down locations. Basically it's a signal issue. Small interruptions in 3G can really through Pandora off it seems.
In places I have a solid signal, (or good days in the neighborhood around the office) I have no issues with Pandora on my Shift.

I have had the exact issue you are talking about. It just started this last weekend.
Check the network speed in that area. I get the same thing on my side of town (slow as help)

Are you having this problem while connected via wi-fi, or via 3/4G? If the latter, have you tried disabling the broken Sprint proxy? I would post a link, but apparently I haven't made enough posts here to be allowed to help people. Meanwhile, you can search XDA for "sprint proxy" if you feel this may be your issue.
Pandora has been pretty crappy for me lately. In fact, it's been crappy for the last few months. But over the last week, I had some times where it just wouldn't load a song or play 3/4 of the song and then just stop and go to the next. My main issue is that one of the more recent updates turned off the feature that would stop the music when bluetooth was disconnected. I use it in my car with bluetooth and in the old days, I would turn off the car and playback would stop but now it just switches back to the phone. Really annoying! But yeah, pandora and slacker both equally suck but in different ways

Yeah I did the proxy fix which doesn't really help or make any difference for me.
Other users haven't seen a difference either, seems to work different depending the area you're in.
Haven't tried the app using wifi though cause I don't have a reliable signal right now
Use Pandora everyday, no issues. Use it about an hour plus total per day . Day would suck without it.
Signal issue.... test on wifi

Yea I have the same issue every song .. wifi no prob. Even when I have a good 3g signal all bars are solid still plays almost one song then cuts out. Whats weird is when i had my old Iphone 3g no issues. I'm gonna try my lastfm see if it has the same issues.
Cheers guys.

If you're rooted, this may help... I had issues with youtube, but did this fix and now I'm good to go... You can get your msl if you aren't rooted, but it's way easier to just use the root app...
Yeah, the proxy fix helped me. I couldn't play pandora at all till I did that

Give the Sprint technical support team a call from a landline at 1-888-211-4727 or stop into a Sprint corporate store. There is a known issue with both the HTC 4G handsets in which any app that streams media data may sporadically fail. There is a temporary solution in place until a manufacturer release corrects it. Sprint's technical support representatives can push a soft patch to your handset which should correct the issue you're experiencing. It's called a soft patch because if you have to hard reset your HTC EVO Shift 4G for any reason, the patch will have to be repushed to it. Tell the technical support representative/retail store employee to type CEBU into their internet browser and they'll see the tool they need to use for the push.
Pandora 3g issues
I set my phone to Edge only and now I have no issues with streaming from Pandora.
Hey guys,
Im running into this weird situation with my GN3, when listening to music through the google music player I get a massive volume drop when the track changes, or when i rewind the track or even just put it to a different part of the song.
heres a video taken with my wifes GN3
as you can see its a really drastic volume change. I've uninstalled it and reinstalled and tried shutdown and everything. My wifes GN3 doesnt do this.
this also happens when using headphones as well.
Basically is this a software issue or a hardware warranty claim that I should go to verizon for? This is a stock non rooted GN3
thanks for the help in advance!

So I went to Verizon to talk to them. Of course I get someone who doesn't know anything lol. Anyways she has me do a hard reset (lame) so I do. The problem goes away and I say ok. No problem if it comes back I'll be back.
everything was fine until this morning when I played with my music again.
The source of the problem is the equalizer. Hard reset puts the eq settings back to off. So this morning I turned on the equalizer and it did it again! I turned off the equalizer again and it worked normally again.
Needless to say this is weird. Can you are if this is the same with yours? I will go back to Verizon when I get a chance.

Mines been doing the same thing. Let me know if replacement went well, I may have to get mine exchanged too. It's VERY annoying, to say the least!!
Music Volume changing? (replace the EQ program?)
I _think_ I was having the same type of issue. The EQ in Google Music is an interchangeable app, so I am trying a different one which so far doesn't seem to have volume issues, but it's early yet. Apologies if I am misunderstanding the problem but I recommend trying a different EQ app from the Play store. You can have several but only one can be active at a time and Google Music will use it (when you go to EQ in Google Music settings whatever EQ app you have active under Settings > Sound > Music Effects is what opens).
I'm having the same issue. I'll be listening to music with headphones on and when a new track streets the volume gets cranked super loud. Is an exchange in order?
hoping it is software

I eventually started having the same problem again with the new EQ app. I disabled EQ and it hasn't happened since. I plan to live without an EQ and wait for a fix, hoping it is software.

I had this exact experience. I've had other issues too, an issue where my Alarm app crashes every so often, and where my phone (when I set it down sometimes) will become unresponsive (screen off) and not let me restart it without a battery pull.
I went to Verizon on 11/26 and had a Factory Reset, thinking that perhaps the recent OTA update could be the culprit, a reasonable theory. After the Factory Reset, the Alarm issue has not happened again (encouraging) but the unresponsive screen issue has (not great). The Music issue I have is the exact same, where in the store naturally it worked, but I hadn't though to turn on the equalizer. I have tried other Play equalizers to the same result.
I have since went back in (yesterday) to have them send me a Manufacturer's Refurb (I haven't Rooted yet), and will receive that on Wednesday (hopefully, if FedEx isn't lame). This will allow me to verify if it is hardware (or if i'm just unlucky and get 2 hardware issue units).
That said, i'll offer this: Today I tried uninstalling many apps I installed, just to try to rule out stuff, no luck. I tried then clearing the Data / Cache for Google Music, and then 'reverting' to the Factory installed version. The issue was gone (and the stock equalizer was on). I have since updated again to the current version, and the issue is still gone. I am wondering if there is a time component to it, and will keep checking.
I do have a separate thread going with all of my observations (i'd link but i'm not a real boy yet), called 'Note 3 - Alarm / Music Issues?' or something, feel free to add your thoughts if you want, and i'll keep an eye on this thread too for info. I want this fixed! (My Galaxy Nexus didn't have this issue...)
In for updates. Mine is doing the same thing.
I have the same exact problem. It happens when using headphones as well as streaming via bluetooth, so seems a software issue to me.
It hasn't happened to me in a while now (knock on wood). Only thing I can think of is keep all your apps up to date

Happens to me on Google Music. If I pause then restart the song it goes back. Since so many of us have the problem it might be something with 4.3.
Sent from my SM-N900V using xda app-developers app
I notice mine doing that randomly if I get a text or other types of notifications while listening to Pandora it cuts volume and most of the time it will fix itself with the next notification that chimes in, it goes back to normal volume
Sent from my SM-N900V using xda app-developers app
Unfortunately, as per the version at least, i've seen it present in the version that is stock/pre-loaded on the Note 3 as well as the most current / up to date version.
My refurb did not arrive yesterday but hopefully today, so i'll have a second unit to (ideally) confirm if it could be hardware or is more likely software. I feel I have seen similar reports of issues on the S4, so it is leaning towards a software / 4.3 issue, but i'm surprised that it's not more consistently occurring. (I have at least one coworker who cannot recreate the issue).
Any update on this?
Spotify does not have this problem... Has to be with the google play music app...
Is it my device or is it a general problem? Gps of G2 locks very very fast, has signal even inside of a room, lock many more satellites than any previous phone. I dont have problem with car navigation eg navigon. So where is the problem?
I go for running. I use runtastic. Here is a photo of recording of gps:
It is very very bad. It is like it takes signal every 30 seconds or something and draw lines. . I run in the road but it shows like i run in parking , or above cars. The same applications with galaxy s2 is very accurate. I also tried many others athletic applications to see if it is some incompatibility of runtastic but, the same happens to all.
I even tried tracker booster from play store to see if it is a sleeping problem , but didnt help.
Any help on this? Anyone using G2 for running , to write his experience? Thanks.
Have you tried other apps? If it doesn't happen in other apps, it's probably this one.

I'm on my second G2 (took one back to buy at full retain), and used each for 10+ days. I use Endomondo, no issues on either phone. Not sure if you can or if even possible to try and recalibrate the gps signal. May be your gps chip, and if you can, return it.
Even having same issue using say, My Tracks?

My tracks i haven't try. I have try endomondo , same problem. Best of all work sport tracker. I just notice that even navigon have a small problem. When i stop it still goes on and again go back.. With galaxy s2 that wasnt the case. .
As i have bought from foreign eshop it is very difficult to return. . I dont have any other problem except of this but , it is important for me...
Perhaps first of all i have to do a factory reset.
If there is any way to recalibrate gps, if anyone knows... I am rooted. .

Yeah, I mean, it seems like something is wonky with your gps. Have you tried: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.eclipsim.gpsstatus2
Understandably this is important. I had similar issues with my 2year old GNexus, and it drove me crae crae. At the very most, cna try a factory reset... but I'd check the other gps I linked to see if that helps.
Good luck!
Hi,
I noticed that for about last 2 weeks Google app called My Tracks is acting rather crazy. I'm using mobile data and have GPS on, and I want to record my driving or running tracks - but it seems that I loose signal every few hundred meters because there is nothing on the map marked. Then it starts tracking again and stops... No idea what's causing it. Is anyone esle having same issue?
After 15 minutes running it showed my average moving speed as 26km/h which would be great if it was real, but it's not.. 15 minutes running and only 3 minutes moving time according to My Tracks.
Help please!

For me, it's not just My Tracks. It's my Maps and Navigation as well. For some reason, no matter if I'm running X-Note, KnoxRaid, or the Verizon port rom, I cannot get a gps lock. It's kind of working, it will update my location with horrible accuracy but the GPS icon continues to blink and it never seems to get a true gps lock.
I don't know how to resolve this, but I'm not a noob to flashing or odin. If any devs out there would help us out, it would be greatly appreciated. FYI I'm on 4.3 and MI9.
Please help...I will definitely donate if a solution is posted here!! (Just quote me so I'm alerted!)

i'm on stock touchwiz rom, just rooted. it used to work okay for a while, but now it doesn't record whole tracks.
i don't use maps or navi so often, but i remember that i put both maps and my tracks at the same time, and i don't remember maps showing wrong position.. if no solution will be posted here, i'll go to samsung service.

but my tracks is still recording like 10% of what i drived... and i have second note 3 that i took with me today, did a ride around my town and the result was that my primary note 3 is loosing signal (but only in my tracks) and the frest stock note 3 does not.. hmmm..
Hey guys,
this new android related issue where streaming music via bluetooth is a pain in the ass, as there are only two volume levels (absolutely loud and the opposite) is really annoying.
Is there any statement from google, if and when it'll be fixed or is there even a fix already?
I cannot imagine how sth like this got into a final release...
Stream every single day on a 45 minute commute via GPM and Spotify (Bluetooth to car) and never encountered this... Seems odd. I'll keep an eye out but haven't seen it yet!

is a common issue with 6.0.1 and several bluetooth devices (i have a creative roar box), just search the forums here.
I'm usually ok with blue tooth streaming to my car as well as to my Polaris speaker. No issue with my Huawei watch either that I'm aware of.

But I listen to podcasts daily (while biking/running./in the car) and it keeps cutting out on me.. like 2-3 times/minute.. that's using the bluetooth in-car, as well as two different bluetooth headsets
BTW phone calls are fine - this is just A2DP bluetooth stereo..
on 6.0.1 stock (rooted)

Edit - seems worse when I'm near my wifi router; although still having issues w/ wifi off..
I had some issues with bluetooth audio cutting out after the phone had been sitting for a while. I added the media apps (music, youtube) to the not optimized list under battery settings and now it works fine.
stream every day from google music app to my vw golfs system via bluetooth and never cut out once or had any issues. Im stock non rooted 6.0.1

No joy. I did your suggestion in conjunction with a few others and I'm still getting audio hits. Did the following to no avail:
- Uninstalled an app called "gasbuddy" which has been reportedly giving users issues with BT
- Messed with a few settings in Developer Options
- Cleared Cache
Did those listed above plus your suggestion and it still doesn't work properly. The only thing that is (albeit moderately) reliable is to completely unpair, forget device, repair, and update permissions. How frustrating every time I get in the car. Additionally, I've been getting SERIOUS BT phone problems. The caller on the line cannot hear me nearly at all. It's not my car's BT unit either, as I've troubleshooted with other phones. I have to switch to handset speakerphone. I feel like I'm in the 90s again. I'm massively bummed out since I spend a lengthy portion of time in my morning/evening commutes. BT is the one thing I can't do without. What a drag.

Does it work with other Bluetooth devices, or do you have other phones to test in your car? Might be an issue with the car or even something google/hauwei can fix under warranty.

Thanks for the reply but yeah that's what I meant when I said - "as I've troubleshooted with other phones."...
As to your other point, this is actually my second 6p. I RMA'd one a few weeks back for the same issue - I thought the same thing.
So frustrating. Like nailing jell-o to the wall.
I found what was causing my Bluetooth issues with my Chevy Malibu. The app weather bug was messing with my phone Bluetooth and battery drain. After I deleted the app my Bluetooth works fine and my phone now sleeps with doze correctly...

I was having the same issue, both with BT headphones, BT speaker, and my Android Wear watch. I tried factory resets on both phone and watch, and forgetting all BT connections and re-pairing to no avail. I Factory reset my phone again, and didn't add my Amber Weather Widget back to my home screen and all was well. As soon as I added it...Bt went to hell again. Deleted the app and now I'm having no problems. Not sure why a weather app would cause BT to act up, but it sure did in my case.
Uuuh. This is ultra frustrating. Using my smartphone for business and private stuff, so it has to re reliable. Hearing music is a pain in the ass, really. Doesn´t matter if I connect it to my Bose Soundlink Mini, my Philips NFC/Bluetooth Dongle...interruptions all over the place.
BTW: I don´t have any weather widget installed, so I have absolutely no clue what to try next. Delete all paired devices is a no go, really.
PS: And it´s not only interruptions - music kind of gains speed after those interruptions.

Yep,I have the same exact issue with phone calls, the caller cannot hear me at all and I switch to speaker. This is my second phone and they both did the same thing, connects, fine for a few seconds, then gets muted or something and have to switch to speaker. My notes never did this and it's super making me mad! I'm going to call google and try to return this phone. It's BT totally broken.
I might be giving up on the phone very soon. I'm bummed. I really dig it, but BT is such a HUGE part of my life at this point that it's impossible for me to own a phone that falters in that respect. Ugh. How disappointing.
I even signed up for the new Android N beta testing, hoping that would remedy the situation. Nope.
