Im on a mission to get pandora working on my X2....
I have tried it on stock, eclipse 2.0.1 and 2.0.2...Liberty is next. I have tried it as a system app and regular install as well. I have tried older versions, hacked versions and the current version.
I thought it may have been due to the poor service I get but I just spent that last hour or so on my OG Droid and was considering never leaving it because it worked great (when not using the widget). I tried both widget and non widget on the above roms with all the different app tries.
So If you know of a tip, trick or setup that works for you with it so it doesnt consistantly skip/cut out or take 1-2 min or more to switch to a song when pressing next song button then please share in your sucess.
Oh and I have to use 3G...hmmmm also note that it didnt work worth a damn on my X2 in town with perfect service or through wifi.
Thanks!!!
Im on Liberty & have had no problems with pandora. Might give it a try.

Nothing special done just running as normal on liberty? Which version of pandora?
Pandora runs fine on mine , skips when I get notifications but other than that runs good. Eclipse 2.0.2

No nothing special, v1.5.14 but only because its a version with a transparent widget & haven't updated to v1.5.15 yet. Runs fine tho
I had no luck with Eclipse but I loaded Liberty last night and was playing it in my basement which is remarkable considering I couldnt use it in town with full signal on Eclipse.
Just adding to the conversation, I also get some of the problems you have. Sometimes, not all the times, Pandora takes a long time to load a song. I get good reception on Verizon but sometimes I'm just stuck sitting there waiting for the next song for a few minutes. I dont notice any skips though. My girlfriend has the same phone running the same stuff I am and hers sometimes seems worse than mine. We are both running Eclipse 1.3 with some scripts. I havent really tried Pandora on the stock ROM though.
My wife's X2 has a terrible time playing Pandora. It starts playing and just stops. It constantly does this, no matter what. Its a completely stock phone. She won't let me root it because her OG Droid got quirky as all get-out after being rooted, so shes a bit jaded...
I use pandora every day at work with no issues on eclipse 1.3 its actually playing right now as I type this.

I am starting to think it's just quirky. I have had it working pretty good so far on liberty. 30 seconds new song load on avg. It was quick on my of OG DROID though so I really think its the x2

I've had no problems with Pandora on stock, liberty, or eclipse. The one time I had an issue with Pandora, which was when I first got my DX2 - I fixed it by going into settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications -> Pandora -> Clear Cache / Clear Data
After doing that and restarting the application, the first run took a tiny bit longer than all other subsequent runs but I no longer had any stuttering or freezing in the application.
Before I tried the above, I simply tried reinstalling the application and that did not seem to fix the issue at all. I don't know if it will fix your issue but it's probably worth a try.

Tried all that. Seems to be working good on liberty. Every once in a while if I hit next or I hate the song it might take as long as a min or two to get to the new one. No skipping/cutting out now and song to song if I let it run through the song is pretty much instant

I noticed setting the option in pandora to keep the screen on seems to have eliminated all of the skips for me.

I had been on Bionix for quite a while when this first happened.
I, was playing a youtube video it said "video playback failed. Touch to retry." It never worked so I restarted the phone, and then it finally worked..... for a while.
I started noticing that when this happened (inevitably after a certain amount of uptime) my videos stores locally would stop playing as well, and so would my mp3's. A reboot would always fix it, but it certainly is annoying).
Fast forward to today, I'm running Trigger, and I'm still getting the same problem. I did fix permissions, I wiped the youtube cache, I wiped the dalvik cache, I did factory reset, but I cannot get media to work consistently.
Does anyone have an idea on how to fix this?
I should probably disclose that I use titanium backup to restore missing apps with data only, but never any system apps.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, as this issue has me stumped!
(ps.: playback of videos directly within youtube.com also does not work either, and not because of the (this video is not available on mobile error either, but due to this all encompassing issue, I think).

I know what you're saying, it does indeed work after a reboot, but after a certain amount of time, it stops working again, and once again it needs to reboot.
It is kind of annoying, and I wish I could figure it out once and for all.
Hopeless bump.
Can anyone shed some light on this issue? Playback keeps getting broken.
I have this issues aswell. Is there for fix for Bionix V 1.3.1 or any TW roms. My youtube app is broken and its driving me crazy!
if you have the official twitter client installed, then get rid of it. I had the same problem, and read another post about this. The problem never happened again for me after I uninstalled the twitter client.

How do you know for sure that this is the issue. I will try it anyways since nothing else seems to fix this annoying issue.
So far this is working. Been 3 hours without videos on youtube not playing. Usually I have to reboot the phone every 30mins for youtube to work again. Will test this theory....
Why would twitter not fix this flaw in the apps programming?

How can I be sure? I don't. Like I said in the earlier post, I am just relaying the info from another post I read. It also fixed it for me. I don't need rebooting my phone anymore because media doesn't play.
That's why I just stopped flashing up to bionix 1.3. Tried 1.3.1 with some flaws noticed. Went back to 1.3 for 2 months already no hiccups or whatsoever. Running on kb5modem, overstock 2.4.1 kernel, splash of colors 4.1. Some minor system apps were pushed. Modded boot animations and shutdown too. Quads at 1900, 2003 at highest. Gps at 5secs lock with 8meters accuracy. Snappy fast blazing bionix.

Anyone having issues with Google Music and their Vibrant. I am using Bionix 1.3.1 Froyo and before yesterday I had no issue with it but now it will just load the song and never play it in the player on the phone. If I go to the browser I can play it. Had a friend test on his Atrix and works so doesnt appear to be the service, but his was buffering really slow.
Any ideas?
I've had weird issues, its still in beta and still really buggy in my opinion.
I've had the same thing happen, press play and it just doesn't. The only thing i've ever done that worked is to just watch for a second and let it fully buffer before you press play. If it never buffers, try killing the app in task manager and trying again.
Hopefully they update it soon, I also have really blurry album art and its a little laggy at times. It could be prettier too.

Well I just wanted to be sure it wasnt the service. Apparently no one else is having the same issues. I contacted Google Support rebooted phone and cleared data for the app as well as reinstalling but still no go. Guess ill have to reinstall the rom or another rom.
It'd be much easier and simpler to move to another music player, of which there are dozens. I prefer Winamp for free, or PowerAMP if you're an audiophile and willing to pay for it.
Hello to let you know the issue was that I had my phone authorized too many times in the settings. After removing the phone that was there 7 times i was able to fix the issue and stream properly.
Happened to me a lot of times.

What problem they having exactly?
It freezes, skips songs, pauses and just plain stops if they turn their phone on. I work with both guys and both are having the same exact problems. They're both rooted, one has stock rom, the other has a custom rom ( forget the name of the custom rom... eclipse maybe). I know it annoys the **** out of them because they use them for music at work.
I thought this was a DX2 common problem? Guess not.

The common problem about music is it constantly skips and stutters all the time.
have they tried clearing data for the apps? I know doing that helps with problem apps sometimes especially if flashing roms. Did they also try uninstall and reinstalling the app?
I don't use either of those but I have before but never had them just shutoff on me.

I know slacker came reinstalled and unable to uninstall but if running eclipse they most likely got slacker from market. If its one of newer eclipse that is. Hope this helps ya co-worker out. Im kinda shooting at the moon but it is a main troubleshooting process I and others use for stubborn apps. I have to do it all the time for market cuzI think google screwed their newest version up. Clearing and uninstall market updates always makes it work for me
I use Pandora a lot and had the same issues with it skipping in the middle of the song, which drove me crazy. I found a fix that has made me happy with Pandora again. But, there's bad news. The "fix" is a hacked version (gives you unlimited skips and removes ads), so I can't exactly link you to it. I don't like that I'm having to use a hacked version, BUT I don't exactly feel bad about it, because I'm just doing what it takes to get the app to do its basic job.
(Regarding Slacker: I don't use it, so I removed it.)

Any chance of a pm. So I can hook my boys up. We work in a hot kitchen and music is what get us through the day.

I've been having problems with pandora myself. Once I open it, Pandora will log me in, and then I get the music dialog but nothing will play over 3G (didn't test from WiFi, but then again I don't need it from WiFi). Not a huge deal because I have a 32GB MicroSD, but still annoying so I removed it.
(The install for pandora was clean, did not back it up)
They have that issue ^^^^^^

hmmm...thought the music skipping issue was fixed with the GB update for the X2....
anyways...am using Eclipse v7 RC and i have no problems streaming Pandora via 3g or wifi...so since they are rooted, maybe you should try this rom(if nothing else works)...its REALLY smooth...much better than stock...
Anyone else having this issue or know if there are settings I could tweak to stop this?

i had the same issues on Eclipse 1.3. i reverted back to stock rooted 2.3.4. i haven't flashed a new custom rom because of this reason. i'll follow this thread to see if there are any solutions.
I couldn't get YouTube to play yesterday on 3G. I haven't tried wifi yet to see if it's just my 3G signal or what.
Sent from my MB870 using xda premium
I just watched a video I posted on YouTube over 3g and it worked just fine. Mind you, I didn't watch it in HQ mode since it was over 3g, but no jumping, skipping, etc. Worked just fine.
As for games, sometimes they pause, but not always. Overall, I'm getting better performance out of CM7 than I have out of any other ROM, stock or custom.
GTA 3 plays beutifully just like on Eclipse 2.0.1
One thing I have noticed when I ran Smartbench 2011 is that my Productivity and Gaming indexes dropped going from CM7 Alpha to CM7 Beta.
On Alpha (with the extra core constantly on), this is what I had:
Productivity: 3395
Gaming: 2581
After going to CM7 Beta, this is what I have:
Productivity: 1776 avg.
Gaming: 2383 avg.
I then launched system tuner pro and noticed that only 1 cpu was on. But, it appears as if the 2nd core never comes on, at least from what I can tell. If I tell System Tuner Pro to enable both cores and run my benchmarks, I notice that I get back the scores I had before.
Now, I have noticed a slight drop-off in games at times. My question is, is there a way I can monitor if the 2nd core ever comes on when it's needed? Is there an app I can run to monitor this and then I can see if/when the 2nd core came on and at what frequency it ran? Heck, are the any logs I can look at?
Just curious.
Also, one thing I have noticed. If I mess with the Memory Auto-kill settings (such as with V6 Scripts), I notice games get a lot laggier, especially Fruit Ninja. If I leave them at the default settings CM7 comes with, the games perform a lot better.
Thanks!
I didn't have any of these issues on eclipse (any version) so this is new to me.. YouTube works but it constantly pauses or restarts..Iv only tried over 3g so I'll try wifi today. On some other sites my browser wont recognize flash player or the video will be scrambled in black and pink streaks...the strangest thing.
Could the theme I'm using have anything to do with it? Its the epic blue and bold..

I just went to YouTube via the stock browser and the video played just fine over 3g. I also went to FoxNews to try and stream a video there and it worked just fine under CM7 Beta.
You DO have Flash installed, right? Just making sure! I know on my phone I have both Adobe Flash and Adobe AIR installed.
I had AIR installed and had to install flash player on this rom just to get any bids to show up in the browser...never had to on any other rom or stock. I might just reflash the rom and go from there...otherwise its back to eclipse til the next cm7 update

That's because the CM7 doesn't come with everything installed. It's a bare-bones ROM where as the other ROMS, including stock, include the Adobe stuff in it.
Like I said, I have it all installed and YouTube and other flash-sites show up just fine in my browser without any issues. The sound is fine, the video is fine, no choppiness in them at all and that was over 3g.
Ok thanks. So at least I know that its not the rom. Ill have to try something. Clearing the data on apps fixed most of the force closing issues but nothing has fixed the video issues yet. Unless its the theme or another app in the background interferring.. scratching my head on this one

If anyone else has the YouTube issue just go to the market and uninstall the YouTube updates...YouTube stays installed and then works without the constant pausing and restarting. Games are still pausing but enter want to delete my data to try to fix that

So I have a Droid X2, now un-rooted and back on stock 2.3.4 and this is an issue I have had since I had the phone and have never found a fix. I have asked this multiple times on the Verizon forum for the DX and never get an answer...
SO every day I seem to have issues with my notifications going mute, sometimes, but not always, my ringer even goes mute. Usually once a day I have to reboot my phone because it is the only way I can fix it. I thought at first it had to do with my blutooth, but since SBFing and going back to stock I have not re-added my blutooth and it still happens. I took it into the store and he suggested that it is an app causing a conflict and I should uninstall 10 or so apps at a time to try and narrow it down... but I just went ahead and did a factory restore to see if it would help... but it happened again today...
Now, the notifications I use are ones I put on the phone. I have tried putting them on the SD and the internal and it seems to happen with both. I have also put them directly on and also tried ringdroid but it still does the same thing. The sound and notification levels will be all the way up, and when you go into the settings and try to pick a notification sound or ringtone, even the stock ones, you wont hear anything (and you would usually hear a preview of the sound)... The only way I can get the sounds to work is to reboot the phone and when it comes back, it will be fine... for a while. Sometimes have to reboot multiple times a day, but almost always at least once a day to get them back up...
Since you all seem smarter than the Verizon folks and have been a huge help to me thus far, I thought I would ask here and see if anyone else has ran into this and has a fix or if there are any known apps that would cause this. I have done searches but found nothing...

Awesome... thank you!
I've had a similar issue but not exactly the same. I normally keep my phone on silent mode but sometimes during the day it will automatically go off silent mode. Seems to happen most often when the battery level is below half. I just learned to live with it. My alarm would deactivate by itself in Froyo, so at least this isn't going to cause me to be late for work like that.
Problem is solved here after last week's upgrade. I'd suggest flashing a new build if possible. I guess for some unknow reason, parts of the OS gets corrupted or maybe its a bug in device drivers for our android phones thats been addressed in later builds.

I'm certainly no dev, just an avid user who likes learning and tweaking to get the most from his phone. I recall having similar problems with FROYO stock or rooted which as I remember went away when GINGERBREAD came out. I've been running DZK's CM7 beta as my daily driver since it was released with virtually no problems and unlike most other ROM's does not need multiple tweaks and scripts to scream with the exception of a wifi and/or dialer glitch that looks like Moonshadow has recently fixed. Sooooo unless HDMI is a deal breaker I'd suggest you flash CM7 and see if that takes care of your problems just remember to abide by the cautions regarding use of TBU to restore apps. And lastly as a rule of thumb I reboot my phone every morning once I get to 100% charge...force of habit I guess.
Good luck

Did not uninstall any apps, and have not had any updates (as far as I know... well besides app updates) and for some reason it hasnt been happening lately. Again, no idea what changed. Still unrooted on stock 2.3.4 gingerbread and phone seems fine now. Been happening for months and when I finally come here to get help, the problem seemed to have went away. I will keep you all updated if this changes. Hopefully if it is happening to anyone else, it has also been fixed... Thanks again for all your help. Really appreciate you guys helping out this noob
what i did
i have an mb870 too with no service running google voice and groove ip . my issue with notifications
was with my kids hitting all the button selections she could. in the process my message notifications
got defaulted to the wrong messaging app. i was still getting messages but no tones or vibrations.
so i just went to all the messaging apps i have and made sure to select the right one for the default
hope this helps
