So i'm a very big fan of streaming music, rather than taking up a ton of space with music files on my phone. As such, i installed the grooveshark app (i'm a fan, idk about anybody else) and for some reason it would not let me log in (yes i hav the pro account). Slightly frustrated i gave up and installed the pandora app, i'm not a hater, i just prefer to be able to hear a specific song when i want, and to be able to skip more than 6 songs... Well all would be good, except pandora will immediately skip to the next song when i turn the screen off, or if i put it in my pocket, or it will stay on the song after i turn the screen off, and in my pocket, and then randomly skip. To make matters worse, once it starts, it doesn't stop, it'll make it though about 10 seconds of a song and then either pause and unpause at random intervals (up to 3 minutes of being paused or so) and then return to playing, or continue skipping. Once it hits that 6 song skip limit, it shows the toast about how you can only skip 6 songs, and then it doesn't go away, there is always another toast ready after the first disappears as if it is trying to skip that song constantly...
Additionally: Slacker Radio fails to log in as well.
In case it matters, i'm using KaosFroyo v31. Same issues whether i'm on wifi or 3g. Not sure if it's something about the pandora app, or the rom i'm using, or just the fact that i'm root, and pandora doesn't like that.
Any help would be appreciated

Odd. Pandora works fine here. Have you tried another ROM? At least you can make custom ROM backups with the phone.
Nawh, havent tried another rom yet. Aside from the streaming music issue's i'm a big fan of KaosFroyo... i did find a setting in pandora about keeping the screen on even when you turn it off (has a warning that it will drain battery life, and came auto checked) so turned that off to some success, and then if i turned the phone face down, or pulled it by the headphones, or shook it too hard, it skipped songs...

it is strange that is on both 3g and WiFi, have you tried a different rom? try it on a 2.1 or 2.2 rom. All i can think of :/
Best of luck,

I use 3 different radio apps. Pandora, last.fm and slacker. I would recommend using slacker only for WiFi. As far as having problems running apps it could be Rom based problems. Try reflashing the Rom or use another Rom. Pandora also just recently had a update so see if you have the latest version.

Could this have something to do with Verizon's mass text about ours phone's ability to purchase copyright material? I thought it was only dealing with the NFL app but the could be forging as big a ban hammer as they can under the watchful eyes of the ffc

OK. I have the oddest problem I'm hoping people can help me with, though I don't hold much hope.
Recently my UConnect stopped recognizing on the display when the track changed in Google Play Music from my Galaxy Note 3. The next track does start playing over BT, but the UConnect keeps showing the previous track info and progress bar. I never had issues before.
Phone recently got a software update so it could be on the phone side. It works fine with other music players on my phone though. Maybe a Google Play Music update broke it. However, on my BT connection to my home theater stereo, it properly updates the track info, so it's something between my phone and UConnect.
Here's the odd part that makes it hard to pin it to either the phone or the car specifically:
Track gets updated on my smartwatch via BT just fine.
Track gets updated on my home theater stereo over BT as normal.
Steering wheel buttons advance track forward (full control over music), and new track starts playing, but doesn't update track on screen.
Track gets updated on display if you click backwards to previous track, just not forwards either manually or automatically at end of previous track.
UConnect display gets updated automatically while playing tracks if you use a mixed playlist with different artists. If it's the same album by same artist it does not change track on display.
If I switch to a different audio source and back, it shows the correct song on the display, but it will not switch to next one automatically when playing an album.
Track displayed gets updated properly with other music players, just not Google Play Music.
Used to work before, but recently received Galaxy Note 3 4.4.4 AT&T firmware and also Google Play Music updates.
Tried repairing phone to car, but no luck. It's a UConnect 8.4A with latest firmware.
Did you ever have success in finding a solution for this? I recently bought a new Dodge Dart with the same system in it and it pairs fine with my OnePlus One, but it doesn't sync ANY of the track information. It just says "OnePlus One" where the title of the song would be. I figured maybe our problems would be related, but I could be wrong.
Similar thing with my new Jeep. I have the latest update 11.17.11 I think it is. There is no track info at all on the display. On top of that when I start a song it loops the first 2 seconds or so about 3 times before it plays. There also seems to be a disconnect between the play button.
I stream all my music however, so maybe that's a problem with the files not being on my phone.
So i recently updated to lollipop and its been pretty much a nightmare since. I've managed to solve most of my problems but two still remain.
1. I can play more than one song, once i try and skip to the next one it doesn't play and eventually the whole rom crashes. This has happened on several roms.
2. If my heaphones come unplugged while playing music i have to completely unplug them before i can get music to restart. There seems to be a detection issue of some sort.
im thinking there maybe a problem with cyanogen recovery but was hoping someone could chime in.
Much thanks.
doesnt look like anyone can help but I've figured out that i can play music i just cannot pause or skip to the next song, this includes streaming and using another app such as mx player. If i pause and say try and watch a movie it still requires me to reboot,.
check headphone jack, plug, sd card, clear media cache/app data
Hey guys, I'm not sure if this is a Z2 issue or a wider Android issue because this is my first Android phone since jumping from iOS.
I've had this phone about a year, and I love it, but one thing really annoys me. If I play some music over bluetooth to my car, it works fine, but if I stop the music when I get out of the car, and then go back to the car a bit later I can't just hit play on the bluetooth adaptor to get it to carry on playing. I need to get the phone out and reopen the app and play from there.
This is the same with whatever audio app I use. Google Music, Audible, Pocket Casts etc.
On iOS, I could stop a podcast on Friday when I got out my car, and then on Monday morning hit play and it would just carry on where it left off.
Is there any way to do this on Andoird? A setting? An app? It's a small thing, but it's literally the ONLY think I like less on this phone than my old iPhone. I waited for the Lollipop update because I hoped this would sort it, but no luck.
Thanks in advance!
Hi,
Recently bought a V30 and enjoying it so far. One of the main reasons I bought the phone was for the audio capabilities it has.
I just got round to loading my music colection onto the phone. On quite a high number of songs when skipping to the next track when the DAC is enabled it seems to skip the first 0.1-0.25 seconds (estimate) of the next song. It doesn't sound like much, but it is so annoying as you miss the first few notes or half a word. As soon as you disable the DAC or play through speakers the problem goes away. The problem also goes away if you get to end of the previous song, it only seems to occur when you hit skip. Is anybody else having this issue or know a way to correct this?
UK V30 (H930), Apps used were Google play and LG music player. All MP3s are 320kbs, tried on multiple different headphones and earbuds (including supplied). I've also tried turning off and on/updating software to no avail.
Cheers, Joe
