From Pandora:

Sorry about the problems with the Pandora Android app.
In version 1.5.14, we made a change that we hoped would improve the performance of our app. With certain phones the change actually made things worse.
We made another change this morning on our end that we think should help. You don't have to update the app for the the change to take effect.
Just exit out of the Pandora app (if it's currently open). To exit the Pandora app on your Android phone, click on the Menu key and select Quit.
Then reopen Pandora. You may have to skip through a few songs first if the problem continues.

Hopefully it fixes it.

I don't think it fixed anything -- about a minute into the song it buffers and goes to the next song. Very annoying. Will reach out to Pandora. I deliberately don't sign up for auto-updates for this very reason but somehow it snuck in an update.

I use the Unlimited Pandora cyan from jrummys toolbox. Ill try to get a link up. It looks fresh and doesn't play ads.

I might have a use for that jrummys version for my Thunderbolt. If you can post it, please do.

Here's an update: it played full songs on my Wi-Fi, but started cutting it off on 3G. (I know it plays to the Verizon throttling theory...I think there's a compression problem)

Here's the latest from Pandora:

Hi Andrew,


You're not the only Android user that is experiencing problems. I know this has been a frustrating issue, but I can assure you it's on all of our minds.


If you have a moment, can you please send us the diagnostics logs? These are enormously helpful in trying to pinpoint what's happening. Since we don't have an immediate fix, these logs help us gather information for our developers to try use in upcoming releases of the Pandora app.


First, can you tell me a bit more about your phone?


* System version (Settings -> About Phone):
* Android version (Settings -> About Phone):
* Build number (Settings -> About Phone):
* Pandora version (it's displayed in the lower right hand corner when Pandora is loading):


Then to send us the log, first you will need to install a third-party Log Collector app from the Android Market.


* Search for: Log Collector
* Install the app


* Then, go into Pandora, touch the preferences screen and long-press the Preferences title text in the settings screen. You'll get a dialog notifying you of logging being enabled.


Note that you shouldn't really leave this setting turned on, so, just turn it on, then reproduce the problem, collect the logs, and then turn logging off by long-holding Preferences again.

Switching from "normal quality" to "high quality" seems to have corrected my issue. Seems counter-intuitive, but I'm just happy it works for her now.

My pandora works good on wifi but not so well on 3g.

how so? the behavior i'm describing? Buffering / clipping songs? You can try that preference change with the latest update....

I have a Droid 2 Global with same Pandora issue. I simply changed my Preferences from Normal to High and it worked like a dream. Like someone said, that is completely counter intuitive, but I followed someone else's suggestion and as crazy as it sounds, it worked. We'll see how long it lasts, but it did work immediately.
