The market page doesn't say. What does this update include?
i also want to know. pandora has had a statement on their site that they're going to start limiting usage to 40hrs/mo for free users.

I"ve seen that to. I know I've been will over that the last month. I'd guess 20 to 30 hours a week. They have yet to turn me off.

I'm still waiting for it to cache the entire song so that if I pause it, go into the subway & lose signal, I can unpause it so it can continue playing until I get back up to the street & it get signal again.....BB's Pandora did this & it was great!

Also, I miss the time remaining/playing of the song as well......nice to know how long a song is sometimes to see if it's worth pausing or if I should just wait for the beginning of the next one (at least that's valuable in the above situation)

This is actually what I was going to post as a change I think I've noticed. I may have just never noticed before, but I've noticed since the update that I can have a song playing, pause it, hit Home (exiting the app) and not use it again for a day or more, but when I restart it again, it is still on the same song, same spot. And I can play it and it picks up right where it left off. I know you could do this before if you had the widget, but I don't use it. And I'm prettys ure I remember that, in the past, if I didn't use the app for a while, it would start a random new song when I opened it again. Anyone else confirm/deny this behavior as postupdate?

Hmmm....do you ever go into areas where you lose signal for an extended period? I tried it again this morning, paused it, an hour later I was in the subway & as I was still underground but close enough that I had enough time to listen to the song I had paused at, but when I went to the widget, all I got was searching for signal or something.......and actually I just reminded myself of that & saw that it was still saying that 3 hours later!

Maybe that's just a widget error coincidence......I'll have to try it once again tonight when I go home......this & the whole FB totally blowing really makes me miss :blackberry:.....but not enough to go back ever......unless we NEVER get a kindle app which they finally released for BB as well.....bastards! Digression/rant over.:icon_ devil:

Nope, no subways, sewers, big lead boxes.... lol. Seriously though, I have a signal pretty much anywhere I go. I will say that, messing around with it more today, it only remains on the same song/spot if I don't change stations. If I use one station, pause it and switch stations, or exit then reopen it and switch stations.... when I return to the first station I was listening to it does load a new song. Do you use the widget?

I'm trying to update to the new version of Pandora (1.2) from the market. I keep trying to update, but get an error 'Package file was not signed properly' I've tried rebooting, but to no avail. I am rooted and running AdamZ's smoked glass ROM.

Anyone else having this issue?

When I check "Application Info" for Pandora in "Manage Applications" it says Version 5. Or am I looking in the wrong spot? Don't remember updating in the past couple days, but there have been quite a few so I may have.

Ah, you're damn lucky then! Oh well, i suppose i'll have to wait for the next update to roll around......maybe i'll shoot somebody there an email about it. When I have/keep signal, yes, for the most part, it will always stay paused & instantly start at that spot when I play again.

I do use the widget, tho it seems to have been pretty flaky lately, i've deleted/restored it several times in the last couple of weeks.

As far as going btwn stations, that's how it's supposed to work. Same thing on the BB & even if you use their website on a computer, same thing.

I uninstalled, and re-installed, which seemed to fix it. I'm wondering if the problem was the modded notification widget with white text that I installed..

I'm sure this has already been answered but in case it hasn't it was the modded version of Pandora causing the problems. i just choose not to update since the update doesn't really seem to include anything anyways.
