[Q] Does Pandora always take forever to load? - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

I dont know if it is like this for everyone, but it is taking forever for Pandora to load a song on my ET4G. Up to 5 mins when not on wifi or 4g. With my E3D it takes like 15 seconds to open. I searched the forums, but havent found anything. Is it like this for everyone? Any fixes?

It's been working fine for me. A little loading time (10-20 seconds) between songs, but I had that with the Evo too. That's on 3G. If I'm on 4G there is little if any loading time.
I've also been using iheartradio and it loads pretty much instantly even on 3G.

Pandora isn't the best written app. Sometimes it does get "stuck" for a bit and take a long time between songs even on wifi.

today my pandora would never load but I showed bars, tried speedtest and couldnt get anything there either, must have been the "ghost LOS", restarted the phone and my pandora would load within about 5-10 seconds on 3G(not that fast around here either) but what was happening to me alot is it would cut most of the songs short and have a decent delay between songs. one time it took so long to load the next song it made me jump a little when my phone started screaming at me from my pocket at work when i hadnt noticed the music had stopped...

[Q] Continuing Flash Streaming In Browser.

Hi, I used the search function, but I suck sometimes with it so I hope this has not been covered. I will explain this the best I can, let's say you're using your browser, (Default, DolphinHD, Skyfire) any of them, and you want to stream a movie, whether it be a 5 minute movie, or a 2 hour movie. You load the web page the movie is on, and it starts playing because Flash 10 is awesome, and having it on your phone is even more awesome. But then someone texts you in the middle of a 2 hour movie, and you respond to them. If you go back to your movie, it will continue to play for whatever part was already loaded in the ram, and then stop. It's like the phone (I say phone, because every single browser does this) does not know to keep streaming once you return to the web page. You could zoom in, fiddle around with the stream (Which is hard enough) and try to find the exact position you were at before, but that seems like a lot of work because I hope somebody sympathizes with me that controlling a scroll bar in a flash movie is almost impossible. I have tried making my own HTML website, where there is a frame in the middle, which means obviously it's two different web pages in one. If I start to play a movie on the left frame, and then move to the right frame and load a page, again, the movie will stop. Any disruption, will stop the movie from streaming. If this seems long and drawn out, I apologize, I just tried to make it clear. Does anyone have a way to rig around this, or solution in general?
Just disable the text messaging popup and you'll be fine.

Although no 2 hour movies, I just tap to pause. It just picks up where I left off.

Music Starts Playing By Itself

I've encountered a strange problem lately. Within the last few days, my music apps seems to start playing on their own. This does not seem to be related to putting in or removing headphones, as I have not used any headphones for quite some time. Rather, it seems to happen after I perform certain functions on the phone.
For example, it happens whenever I use Astro to move or delete a file. Immediately after performing the cut or copy, the music starts. It has also happened after I disable bluetooth and/or turn of the screen.
What's strange is that it is not always the same music player which opens. Sometimes its HTCMusic and sometimes its DoubleTwist. As an experiment, I tried freezing HTCMusic with TitaniumBackup and then installing the AOSP music app from CM6. Same result.
I'm using Calukin's ROM, but have been for several weeks without issue so I don't believe that is the cause.
Any ideas as to what might be going on here?
Bump. Really need help figuring this out. Late last night, my Evo was tucked away for bed in its charger. All of the sudden, the music started blaring again. Nobody touched it. In fact, my family was all asleep when it happened and it woke up my kids. Thinking I'm just going to have to start over with a new ROM if there's no answer.
What's odd is that whenever the music starts, I will open the music app to kill it and the app doesn't know it is playing right away. In other words, the play button is displayed, rather than the pause button. To kill the music, I have to hit play, then pause.
I assume you're not running any tasker profile or other program related to running sound based on a condition?
Have you explored the possibility you have a music-loving ghost living in your home?
There is a bug where sometimes a random song off your memory card gets used for a notification sound, you may want to check those out. Last time I did an OTA update it changed my facebook notification to baby got back and the only way I could get it to stop playing was to mute or reset my phone lol

Wifi Problems!

Hey there, I brought my htc one x on contract with 3 at the start of august, the first one had a problem with the battery and had to wait to have a new one in white but eventually, I recieved one that worked. It had been great till a few weeks ago where my wi-fi has been poorer than before, everything else was fine though including my computer and few other things but my one x suddenly buffers every youtube video which take a while to load and keep pausing, the wifi disconnects every now and then but the internet along with twitter and facebook you can't always tell but it defiantly is poor at times. The Wi-fi icon at the top is full at times even when it isn't connecting well to the wifi and then always goes up and down. Always random. I tried the squeeze test which has once or twice improved it but nothing is effected by it usually, even when i downloaded the wifi analyser app, at first i squeezed it and it shot up but since then even if it says the signal is good, it still isn't. It's the youtube that is the worse, but I don't think it is just that as the wifi disconnects and goes up and down at times and just poor compared to before. Do i have this same problem though? The squeeze dosen't always work and what shall i do? Go back to the 3 store?
Really was a good phone till this problem popped up.

[q] losing it with this phone

Basically for the last 2 months all the apps that use internet have basically stopped loading/take 9-10 minutes, except for chrome and messaging. Pictures won't even try loading on twitter and facebook. Most of the times I try to open up google play the whole thing is just grey and infinitely loads or never even tries to.
Every now and again it starts working like normal and oh boy do i cherish those moments but that happens maximum once a day then it stops. I know it's not a connection speed issue because videos will load quickly on browser youtube and pages load normally. I have no idea why this happened, all of a sudden it stopped working.
None of my other devices do this with my connection. I haven't rooted my device or anything but I still did a factory reset and nothing changed. The only period it worked for like 2 hours was when I change the UI or whatever from blink feed to something like dodol. I've had the thing for like 4 months now COMMON I am going absolutely mental, I have so much work to do and a practically bricked phone is not helping so I will be indebted for life to anyone who can come up to a solution.
Thanks guys.

Hard mode: Run a logcat and have it saved to a .txt file on your PC, let it run for a while, while attempting to open the apps you said give problems, if there is an error that's causing it you can find it that way. A lot of reading though.
Easy mode: Restore a nandroid backup for your device.
I would suggest to restore just the system, boot but not data but your problem might be because of some app in there so you'll have to restore the data as well and start from scratch. Seeing as you already did a factory reset and lost everything, something that you restored has to cause this issue.
