For some reason, whenever I try to play a custom station on iHeart Radio, the app freezes but I can play live radio stations just fine. I've even factory restored a few times and tried it on different custom ROMs with the same results.
Anyone else experiencing this behavior or know of a fix?
In what little I used that app, I had no problems with anything other than the stock ROM.

At one time, it did work for me on the stock ROM and Peetr's ROM but not anymore. I don't know what happened. One day it just stopped playing custom stations. So now I use Pandora mostly but will use iHeart when I want to hear live local radio stations from where I used to live.
When I could play custom stations on iHeart, it allowed me to discover different artists that usually matched my liking even more so than Pandora.
Try Tune In Radio.
It has a fair amount of localized content. Not random like Pandora but I've always found Pandora to be annoying with it's 'suggestions.'

Hello everyone.
I would like to ask you for a favor.I really like these two radio stations (DI.FM & SKY.FM) or these two websites with different internet radio channels.The first one streams all styles of electronic music and the second one all kinds of music...such as 80's,alternative rock,classical music etc....well,this is where I need your help....they have two applications for android:
-DI.FM
di.fm/apps/android/download
-SKY.FM
sky.fm/apps/android/download
Could you please download one or both,install it and try to see if you can make it work?.On my Dell Streak with 2.2 it gets stuck and seems like it is gonna start working or it only works once,after that it does not work any-longer.I have been exchanging emails with the developers and so far they say that it is working on some 2.2 android devices.
I know it could be too much to ask since everyone of us is always busy,but this would be a good idea if you like these styles of music.....there are lots of channels in either app.
So if you install it,or you want to report the bugs to the dev's I will really appreciate it and we can all take advantage of this music.
Thanks very much and have a great day.
I use the di.fm app everyday on my streak!! Way more than slacker and sirius xm combined!
The trick is to go into the settings and change the stream format /bandwidth settings from aac to mp3
Btw, search google for idma (international dance music awards) and go vote #18 for di.fm as best electronic radio show!!

I d/l and am trying sky.fm. After changing Basic Bandwidth to the mp3 settings (cellular and wifi), it's working!
Hi guys.
Thanks so much for your support and time.I switched those settings as you described and the dev recommended,it is a little better but I can't listen to all of the radio stations yet.
It is very sluggish and laggy on my Streak,even after resetting the whole thing a couple of times.
Once again thank you for your time.
u should try connected music player from the motorola defy port.. ull never use any other app afterwards
Hi All:
So I've checked the different threads / forum topics and while some users have reported this issue on certain ROM's Q&A sections, I dont belive this to be a specific ROM issue as I have installed 2 different ROMS (VeganTab 7.1.0 and CM7 REPACKED - currently on CM7 repacked both ROMs are BL.2). I believe both roms are based on the same verison of droid.
With both ROMs, I;ve tried the following:
ISSUE:
With the newest Pandora installed, play a station. The 1st song plays fine, the 2nd song, play reaaaaallly slow. If you press the skip >> button, the next song play fine, the 4th song will play very very slowy
FAILED TO FIXES
1 - Change ROMS, by NVFlashing DETOX (on goodintentions website) partioning the hdd, doing wipes and flashing ROMs
2 - Cleared Data on Pandora, uninstalling Pandora and redownloading from the market
3 - restoring Pandora from TiBU, clearing Data and relog in.
On another note, I've notice HULU, doesnt play as well as it used to in a Default Browser, Dolphin and Puffin. You can start a show in any of them, video play back is choppy (audio is fine) and after the 1st commercial, the browser will freeze and lock up the device.
Other than that the both ROMS work fine but am looking for input on the issue to remain on these new versions of droid.
Thanks
anyone else experiencing these problems?
I have all these issues and would love to find a fix for it...
Im using VeganTab Ginger Edition right now, when playing Hulu the video will get choppy but the audio plays fine
When this happens sometimes the video will simply stop playing or switch to a black screen
the video will stop everytime the show starts up again after a commercial
sometimes the commercials will even have the video stop playing
If I change the video quality, switch from 288 to 360 to 480 and between when the video stops playing or freezes the video will return
I recently switched to vegan-ginger 7.1. I have the pandora issue but have not tried hulu yet.
I think a lot of them are having the pandora issue but have not seen any fixes for it.
I got the issue after 7.1 also - initially not every other song but in an attempt to resolve the problem I installed latest version Pandora app. Now the symptoms have worsened and I have the same issue - every other song plays slowly.
I tried installing the Hulu app - it plays OK but low res. Netflix did play one movie fast motion, but I did not associate this with the pandora issue and did not look closely.I have not had a repeat. Crackle and Youtube seem OK also.
I tried same fixes as nyciz - NG. Will try factory wipe this w/e - but to be frank i'm kinda getting tired of messing with it. Has anyone found a music app that is as good as pandora that works on vegan 7.1?
Ok so I got my issue resolved but it was by loading the older Vegan 7.0.0
This isn't a true fix but I get hulu and Pandora working.
Caution, this version has issue with new market. I froze old market with TiBu to resolve.

I have heard it is GB... but i run GB on my SGS4G and have no issues with Pandora. I don't want to role back to the earlier Vegantab.
I had "fixed" it once, unfortunately, i don't remember what i did.. (big help i know) If i am not mistaken, i used a difference kernel with the Vegan ROM... I have since tried a few diff ones to to avail.
I guess either the devs don't see this as an issue, or they aren't having it. Pandora is HUGE for me, i use it all the time... would love to have it working on my Tab...but i lack the patients, time, and knowledge to try to find a fix... HELP US DEVS AND ALL YOUR AWESOMENESS!
Pandora Songs Playing Slow as Well
I have a Viewsonic GTablet running CyanogenMod 7, internet solely through wifi, and I'm experiencing the same issue. I thought at first that Pandora was running a slow version of the song but I was mistaken. The first song will play normal and whenever I skip to the next song, the new song will play fine but if I leave it alone, it will play slow. Netflix is the only other streaming app that I've used and it hasn't had this issue. I'm extremely new to the Android platform so any help would be highly appreciated.
It's a bummer since I love Pandora.
Like I said in my post, either no one who has the knowledge to fix it cares, or they simply aren't having the issue.

Same issue with Pandora
I'm having the same issue with Pandora playing every other song slowly. Currently running Cyanogenmod 7.1.0.1. If I go back to running 7.0.3 then the Pandora app works fine. I've gone back and forth several times. I've tried removing data and uninstalling the app, but when I reinstall I get the same problem. I had wondered if it were something with the renaming on the device from harmony to smb_a1002, so I tried to change the build.prop. Unfortunately I wasn't able to get any where with the problem.
Any input or help that we can get would be greatly appreciated.
Had no issues running Pandora on non Ginger Vegan. Updated to 7.1 yesterday and am having the exact 'slowness' issues stated above.
Amazon Cloud player is NOT having any speed/slowness issues...
Regular device music/playlist plays fine.
Any fixes yet for Pandora??
Nope, no one seems to care...I sold my g-tab... lol

Ok guys and gals I think I found a fix:
I sideloaded the new pandora (not on market, just google it) Pandora 1.5.4 Black version. It seems to work fine with no slow down of the songs at least all day...will edit if it fails.
EDIT: AGGGHH it did it again I notice it works fine if you skip but if you let it naturally go to the next song it slows down. It was working fine earlier.......ok I give up....
Did not work for me either. Thanks for posting

I know for a fact that Pandora 1.5.14 works just fine on Vegan 7.0.0
Having an issues with google music where it'll play 2-3 songs then stop and it refuses to play any more. I can't skip a track and if I go back to select a new song it will hang on a blank google music screen with nothing selected. I have to kill the app via task manage in order to play 2-3 more songs before it happens again. very annoying as my phone NEVER did this before.
Also the issues persists whether or not I'm on WiFi or not, and I've also tried uninstalling google music, refreshing my music, deauthorizing my phone and reauthorizing it, as well as playing music in low and high quality. Nothing works.
I have also been experiencing this problem, haven't found a fix yet though. It actually does the same thing on the stock player as well as google music for me.
Seems to be the LA4 build as I have never had a problem until I flashed the LA4 builds.

Yea I'm on LA4 as well, thought this may be the case but had hoped it wasn't shame cuz I'm really enjoying this rom.
I may have to go back to SHOstock if I can't find a fix though
I don't use my tb for music very often but i just noticed that when I have headphones in and start a song at my desired volume level, when the song changes (either on its own or when i change it) the volume will jump up to almost full blast. Scared the crap out of me the first time. As soon as I press the volume down it jumps back down to the previous level. It will do this continually. Can anything be done about it? Is there a fix?
FWIW, I'm running some recent twisted ics build.
Thanks!
Are all your MP3s in the same bitrate? different bitrates can be of different volumes.
Also, twisted has not updated anything in a long time, try one of Santod's ROMs, or the stock rooted by Santod. He is trying his best to keep like 4-5 ROMs updated.
Yes all my mp3s are the same bit rate. Especially from the same album. I might try a different rom real quickly to see if that solves it. Any other ideas?
Mine has been doing the same using the google music player on twisteds newest build. Although, this does not occur when using Pandora.

I'm glad to hear it's not just me. You are correct that it doesn't do it on Pandora or other radio streaming apps. It definitely does with stock music player and Google/Play music player that is being streamed. Have you tried any other roms?
No I haven't tried another rom since I noticed the frightening increase. I'm not sure but I don't think this was happening on his previous builds but I could be mistaken.

Same problem
Yeah i confirm, i've exactly the same issue. The volume jumps soudainly to maximum when the a new song starts. However, i use Google Play on a custom Rom based on CM 7 (Lewa Os)! :/
It seems to take place when dsp manager is included in a rom... Un-installing it and install back should work, that's all i know.
How do i reinstall dsp manager without just doing a restore from titanium backup since i can't find it in the play store? Does that count as doing a reinstall?
Did you ever solve this problem? I also have it
I have the b21 of Bean flashed and for some reason I cannot stream audio or video without wifi. My messages and emails all come in fine on the mobile network but I cannot stream anything.
Any ideas what I can try?
What apps are you trying to use to stream audio and video?

at the time of posting the first message I couldn't get any streaming media to work. I tried pandora, slacker radio, youtube, the chive app, and i heart radio. i was using beans build 21 with the stock kernel.
after switching kernels several times I was finally able to get slacker radio to work, but the rest are still not working. I tried every kernel that comes with the beans setup. I am currently using the pb&j kernel.
Never mind. I figured it out on my own. For some reason my vpn service was connecting somewhere in Canada, and the services i was trying to connect to were failing because of this.
