When I play music either through PANDORA or GOOGLE MUSIC I'm getting a reset to the boot animation NOW screen.
It does NOT happen all the time. Only 20% of the time. It only takes about 30 seconds to come back up and works perfectly fine afterwards. Just strange anyone else experience this?
What else do you have working in the background and are you online at all or playing games?
Ok here are some simple Q's
1. are you on WIFI? If yes goto #2 if not #?
2. Are you txt'n or did you make/receive a call while playing music.
? so this is a new one that I have not seen. But right now when I am on WIFI and txt or make/receive calls I will get a reboot at some point no matter what I am doing, but WIFI will work fine right up to the reboot.
I have not had that issue are you on a custom rom?

I had that same problem. Less so when I took the phone off of night time saver mode. After I flashed the 198_6 sbf I have not had it at all in the past week.
Im running stock unrooted, I use pandora daily multiple times a day and have never had this issue...

I am a noob to the rooting experience and this site, however i have successfully rooted my Droid X2 via Gingerbreak and explored some of the advantages of rooting. The only thing that I miss from my previous Iphone is Pandora. Pandora plays very slow on my android phones. Is this normal? and has anyone found a way to make it better?

Could you define slow? Does it stutter, quit, skip, buffer for too long?
I use it on my Droid X2 now and it seems fine. Is your experience the same on Wifi and 3G?
Slow - meaning it takes 5x longer to load on any android phone I have had than an Iphone and in between songs it pauses for about 30 - 40 seconds
For me it has been very variable. Some days it's quick and some days it seems to take forever. Was your iphone on AT&T and Verizon? Have you tried it while on Wi-Fi?
I missed the last part asking about 3g vs wifi.
This is mainly on wifi but it seems to be the exact same on 3g

You could try clearing data of the app and see it that cleans it out. Especially on Wifi, mine goes to the next song immediately.
Slacker Is Basically The Same Thing Except It Allows You To Cache A Station So If You Lose Service You Don't Lose Radio Station.
No issues like that. It was acting up alot, not loading songs at all, etc. Cleared data/cache/etc in applications menu and uninstalled/reinstalled. been fine since. Give that a go.
Pandora take 1-3 minutes to load and play next song
Hey, I tried everything:
Uninstall/Re-install
Clear cache
Battery pull
Return to stock and re-jailbreak
Nothing works.
Issues:
Pandora on load can take from 1-3 minutes to start the first song
On either skip or end of song Pandora can take 1-5 minutes to load the next song
Intermittently stops playing a song and attempts to load the next song (can take 1-3 minutes to load).
Notes:
Issues happen on 3G and Wifi
Supercharger not installed
Not location based - happens when driving, at home, work or anywhere.
Uninstalled LauncherPro Plus to help with battery life (too many widgets and it was killing my battery <10hrs).

Wow!!! Sorry, but I'm out of ideas.
Droid X2 here. Got it maybe two weeks ago. My previous Eris was a slow POS but it launched pandora in about 2 minutes and songs went immediately one song to the next. The x2 takes 30-50 seconds between songs. I tried uninstalling reinstalling the app and clearing its cache. Its odd since Netflix starts up right away and plays quicker on my phone than it does at home...

I got rid of Pandora for similar reasons, kept changing songs halfway through a song. Seems Pandora is failing, and have you ever checked the permissions it asks for? I'd recommend another radio app but I haven't found one as good as Pandora used to be. In summary, Pandora sucks.

I have been dealing with the same. It seems to be any ROM I have tried. None of the various tweaks or even an old 1.3 version of Pandora that some said did not have the issue seem to fix this problem. Just search google using the terms android and slow you will see many folks having similar issues. My wifes D2G does the same. Wifi and 3G both give the same inconsistent results.
It used to be really bad for me, now its every now and then, always on a song in really enjoying >.< makes me wanna try spotify or something seeing as it came out for android pretty recently.

I was about to root and rom my wife's phone because she was complaining about Pandora doing exactly what you are describing. Think I will hold off for now since it doesn't appear to be something that can be fixed that way. Been trying to move her over to Spotify, maybe this will be the time...
Two big problems with my EVO 3D that are driving me crazy:
1. I have been having this streaming video issue for a few months now. No matter what streaming video service I use (although mostly YouTube or the G4TV app) the video will start to massively lag eventually. The timing is always different, sometimes its a minute in, sometimes its 10 minutes in, but it WILL eventually start to lag. The sound is still playing, but the video stutters or flat-out stops. And it turns out its not just the video, my ENTIRE PHONE lags when this happens, so much that the hardware buttons and touchscreen don't respond until about 30 seconds to a minute later. This only appears to happen when streaming video, already-downloaded video plays just fine off of the SD card. Half of the time Sense appears to crash when this happens too, since I see it restarting after I exit the streaming app. My cousin has an EVO 3D as well and this isn't happening to him, nor have I see anyone mention about this on Google ) the instances of lag I found were buffering issues. I don't have any idea where to begin finding out what is causing this, does anyone have any hints?
2. My G-Mail app stopped working. And I don't mean it stopped syncing like it has for others before, I mean it dosen't work anymore period. I can still launch the app, my accounts are still there, but NO new mail since Janurary 12 has shown up, manually choosing refresh does nothing. I tried rebooting my phone, and even clearing the Gmail app's data.... all it does now is say "Your email will appear shortly" ... its been saying this for about three days now. I can't even use G-Mail on my phone anymore! Help?

Are you rooted? If so, are you on a custom ROM? If yes, which one? On average a simple wipe fixes the problems you talking about. I can't say much about the streaming issue since I've never experienced it, but for the Gmail issue, go into Settings>Applications>Manage applications and find Gmail, then "Clear data". Once you set it up again the problem should go away (at least that's my experience).

As I said, I already tried that, didn't work.
First off, my Photon's wifi sleep policy is set to "never." I have recently noticed that I can never complete podcast downloads if I let the screen shut off. This is the case with 3 different podcast apps that I have been using (Pocket Casts, Dogg Catcher, BeyondPod).
This also prevents my phone from downloading episodes on a schedule (like when I am sleeping). Up until the past week or so I don't remember this ever being a problem. I used to wake up to all my podcasts already downloaded and ready to be listened to throughout the day; however schedules no longer work with any of the apps (I assume because my screen is off) and everything must be downloaded manually.
Does anyone have any ideas to be able to fix this? Please help! Thanks in advance!
Edit: I should clarify that I am using a Stock Rooted Photon 4G.
I have the same issue. Its frustrating because my photon doesn't have service and I use VOIP over WIFI mainly to save on minutes on my active phone while at home. So I miss calls when its not constantly connected to wifi.
To add to what shinedown87 said, I also have a rooted Photon with stock rom but I did notice this problem when i wasn't rooted. Actually now the phone only puts WIFI to sleep when its off the charger as before rooting it happen regardless. I too have Wifi settings set to Never turn off.
Wifi keep alive app in the market.

I use my phone at work to listen to Pandora and TuneIn a lot, but one day it started stuttering so bad I could no longer use them.
For example, with Pandora, when I start the app it'll say "Loading" or "Buffering 1%" then skip to the next song.. and skip to the next song, and so on. When listening to TuneIn is plays for a bit, then buffers, stops, plays, stops plays, enough to pretty much be un-listenable.
Now I've tried everything, re-provisioned, factory wiped, even installed a whole new ROM (MeanICS) and it still does this. I've wiped and re-installed the applications, still a no go.
Ran SpeedTest multiple times and everything seems fine. Anyone have a clue as to what in the world is going on?
I blame the network. I don't know what the hell is going on, but I have had more issues with the data on this phone than I have on my old phone. I've talked to Sprint about it and they offer zero help on the issue. I also can't get "Roam only" to work on my phone, so I've been trying to rotate songs through my SD card.
Network issues try a profile.and prl update
Hit the thanks button if i helped
I've experienced this a few times while downloading apps or surfing the web. At times it flies and other times it just crawls. My reception is always 4 or 5 bars and asking Sprint why something isn't working is like pulling teeth.

yea man i do that to and i love google music and when im on 3g it keeps on loading so i keep songs on my sd card also but sometimes google play works on a 3g network. hopefully LTE works alot better.
The nice thing about Google Music is the offline cache, it decreases the pauses when I'm switching between no signal/1x/EVDO. Unfortunately it isn't as helpful when you're mostly without a signal.
Since I've had my note 2 for about 2 weeks now, when I'm connected to WIFI (b/g/n at both work and home) at random times when I start You Tube I will get a really long load time (Circle chasing itself) the video will play eventually then at random times it will stop and try to buffer. This happens in either landscape or portrait mode. When I turn off WIFI and use LTE I have no problems. I've stopped the You Tube application and relaunched it same problem. I've paused and it wont buffer. I've started and then stopped and launched it again. It normally takes a good 2-3 times of starting and stopping before I'm able to watch something off my feed. Then at any point after that the problem might pop up again.
I've used my old phone a My touch 4g and 2 IPhone 4s and neither of them have the problem.
I thought the problem might be something strange in the stock rom. So I rooted and installed CleanRom ACE 4.0.5. Problem still occurring. I tried WIFI Fix and checked the status of the the router/restarted etc.. WIFI settings are: Keep WIFI on during sleep: Always
Not sure if maybe I got a bad phone or what.. any one have any idea's?
