[Q] Problems with Pandora on ICS and up?

Hey everyone:
Ever since I upgraded to 4.x on the E4GT, I've had intermittent problems with using Pandora on 3G. The connection appears to timeout, as it displays the song information but never actually plays, and then it skips to the next song generally repeating until I close the application. I've tried uninstalling it, clearing data, etc. even going so far as to factory reset. This persists across modems. The only thing I can say for sure about it is that it happens more when I use it while it's plugged into my car dock. Has anyone else had this problem?

I've found the same. The only time that I see it working in when connected to WIFI. I've tried it under ICS and JB 3G. But it doesn't word either place.http://forum.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

Did you change your Sprint proxy? I've heard of people fixing their Pandora 3g streaming issues by restoring back their Sprint proxy to default values from that 0.0.0.0 tweak thingy..

This happens on and off with Pandora and it happened to me on GB rom also. It seems more common right after a Pandora app update then after a day or two it always fixes itself so I figure the issue is on their end.

It does the same to me, besides the fact that data is so slow in most of the greater Sacramento area I don't even get fast enough data to
run Pandora.

Hey, I had the same issue. This thread solved it for me. your mileage may vary but it worked so worth a try.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1844271

That seems like it might work. Since this is related to the thread, does anyone know how to change proxies from AOSP? Maybe using adb?

No idea, Sorry man. Try the same way as with touchwiz. If it doesn't work it you might have to flash to touchwiz so it and flash back, or if the temp touchwiz thingy is done use that.

You were right about the Sprint proxy. I changed back and it started to work on 3g. However, when I have it plugged into my car dock (the official Samsung one) it still refuses to play. I'm wondering if car mode interferes with it.

I had a similar issue with dock mode as well but i was using the dock but connected to the car by bluetooth(sync is one hell of a system) try checking your dock settings specifically the audio out setting, Play around with that guy. Also get an aux cable plug that into the dock and the car and see if that helps you.

Yeppers, same here, was instructed to clear data out of app, but no-go, seems to work better on wifi for some reason though...

[Q] FI25 Com.android.phone has stopped - [RESOLVED]

I'm currently running Re-Calked.E4GT.0.2.1.FI25. For the most part everything is solid, and getting some of the best battery life I've ever gotten out of the phone (24 hrs with ~2hrs screen time no problem if in a good signal area).
The one little problem I'm having is any time I finish a call using my in-car bluetooth device, the screen blacks out for a while then I get a message saying Com.android.phone has stopped.
The device is still connected to bluetooth (music starts streaming again, etc...), but if I try to make another call, the dialer won't enable bluetooth (a lot of weirdness about finding a bluetooth device when you tap the bluetooth button on the dialer UI). A hot-boot puts everything back again the way it should be until my next call. This happens 100% of the time on bluetooth, never on a regular call - speaker or otherwise.
I don't think it's Re-Calked's fault, I've experienced the same problem on the stock ROM (FH25). It was fine on FH13, and I'm fairly certain FI03 was good too, but I got dismal battery performance on these kernels.
Any suggestions? This is a real downer for me ... I'd hate to have to try an older ROM since everything else is effin' fantastic! (BIG thanks tdunham!!)
UPDATE:
If anyone else runs into this problem, flash the FF18 Phone from THIS POST (thanks tdundham)
The problem appears to be related to the phone being in landscape orientation, which is only available during a call when docked in a car dock.
I'm using the Official Samsung Vehicle Mount

Wish I had an answer for this for you but...
I've seen several frustrated posts concerning Bluetooth pairing with vehicles on ICS with no clear workaround/solution. I don't have a vehicle with onboard Bluetooth to troubleshoot the issue. I bet it's a doable fix too if it's just a matter of porting over some older library files or something from FI03. Maybe we can experiment with some file replacements to see if we can get it working.
You listen to music over Bluetooth too? I wonder if the media player is conflicting too somehow. What happens if you don't have streaming music and recieve a call?
Edit: It would help if you could backup and flash back to FI03 to verify if the problem still exists on that version.

Actually it's not a built-in bluetooth. It's a "Belkin Bluetooth Car Hands-Free Kit for Apple iPod, Apple iPhone, BlackBerry,and Android Smartphones, US Version" ... search for that on Amazon ... tried to post a link, but I'm too much of a noob to post links yet, apparently.
I have the phone in a Samsung windshield mount, and the Belkin device ports all audio through the aux-in jack of my car stereo. It also has a built-in microphone so that I can use it for calls.
I have experimented a bit to see if it was a conflicting app, but it still happens even if I'm using nothing else. Worked fine on the older kernels, even with multiple apps running (Car Home Ultra, Waze, and Play Music are typical) went wonky as of FI25. I even tried disconnecting it from the dock and disabling car mode. The only thing that causes it is being connected to bluetooth and ending a call, and then it happens every time. Doesn't matter if I initiate the call or receive it. (Which is useful, because I could easily test by calling 611)
I wish I had another Bluetooth device to test if it was specific to the Belkin ... but that's all I've got.

No problem. I live out of Waze. Glad I found the fix for the full navigation voice cutoff for that (and Google Voice) and included it in the FI25 rom. I'll look into posting a couple of flashable zips for you to experiment with for the Bluetooth library files.

Thanks for that ... can't wait to try. Going to flash your new Re-Calked update soon too.
On a tangent regarding Waze ... did you install the latest update? I can't stand the way they use 30% of the screen with that black bar ... even worse when you get close to your destination and that other menu bar pops in above it. 50% of the screen covered with useless info.
I rolled back to the prior version from my Titanium backup.

I only used Waze this morning once after the update but didn't really check it out.
Backup your phone.
Flash this first - FI03.flash.first.zip
Test bluetooth, if it isn't working move on...
Flash this second - FI03.stock.lib.zip
Test bluetooth. Even if it is working, flash this next. FI03.stock.lib.zip

Very cool. I'll give it a shoot tomorrow at lunch if I get a moment.

So, it looks like I was wrong with my initial investigation.
I did flash the first file ... everything connected fine. Placed and disconnected a call no crash. But what I DIDN'T do was put the phone in the car dock.
So, I think the problem isn't bluetooth at all. I think it's some interaction with the car dock. If the phone is connected to the car dock when I disconnect the call ... that's when com.android.phone crashes (I can start the call connected, just need to disconnect before I end the call). I also had a suspicion that Car Home Ultra might have been a factor, but it happens even if Car Home Ultra is not running. I thought I had tested this scenario originally, but I guess I missed that one.
I'll flash back to my nandroid later and reconfirm these results. In the mean time ... any thoughts on what the car dock might be doing to trip up the phone?
UPDATE:
Now that I've narrowed it down to the dock, I found this bug report that appears to be related to my issue (yay, I'm not the only one):
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=34612
Down the end of that thread, it appears that the issue seems to be related to the phone being in portrait mode ... not necesserily the dock, it's just that you can only get portrait mode during a call when docked.

Just curious. Does your dialer rotate when docked so you can make a call?
Anyway, I sent you something in a PM check it out.
Edit: I'm working on one more thing to add to that. Give me a little while.

Cool, I'll look at it afterI get the kids to bed.
Yes, the dialer rotates in the dock. Also, when in a call, the contact's photo is also rotated and moved left.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app

Ok we're running out of choices I guess. Try this older stock dialer and if that doesn't work, I guess that's it for now.

Thanks for your efforts whatever the outcome!
I'll flash this tomorrow and see how we go.
I just flashed the new Re-Calked update by the way. No problems, good stuff and it's been idling at around 1.6%/hr.

Changing out the phone did the trick!
OP updated with resolution.

Hold your horses there cowboy.
That is a totally unmodified phone.apk. Let me upload a modfied one you can try too. This one is FI03, disabled ascending ringtones, roaming notification fix. Might be something else too but I can't remember.

[Q] Bluetooth hanging at turning off.. Searched.

As the topic states. Tried searching and couldn't find anything...
Running the latest stable CM 10.1.
Bluetooth hangs at 'turning off' about 50% of the time, and have to reboot to get it started again.. Is this a known issue? Anything I can try to at least minimize it?
Thanks..

not sure about CM10.1 but on Paranoid Android 3+ there is a problem like that. When connected to a Bluetooth device everything works, its just when you disconnect.
In PA3+ on the I747, IF you disconnect from the phone it screws it up and need to reboot. If you disconnect from the Device it works fine.
You might want to try that

It does happen, although, you don't have to reboot. Go into apps->All->Bluetooth Share and force stop it.

Is there a way to create a shortcut to do this? This happens mostly in the car, and would prefer a one touch approach..

If there's, I don't know about it. Although, you can put a running apps shortcut on your home screen with a 3rd party launcher which saves half the time.

Bluetooth A2DP stutter cuts out while streaming music

I was hoping this would be fixed in the 4.4.2 update but it appears to still be there. While listening to anything in my vehicle with bluetooth A2DP the audio seems to cutout, like a bad connection. The song continues to play and sometimes I see the information on the radio screen disappear, as if the phone lost connection.
This happens no matter where I place the phone. Normally it sits in the storage pocket just below the radio but also happens in the mount on my dashboard as well as my center console.
It seems to happen less often if I plug in the charger, and even less if I force the screen to stay awake. I have not had this issue with my Sensation 4G or my Galaxy S3.
Any help is appreciated.

Funny thing is I didn't have this issue at all back on 4.3, but do have it now with 4.4.2
Yay for 'upgrades'

I have tried every combination of different settings and the only thing that seems to help, although does not resolve altogether, is to plug in the charger and tell the screen to stay on during charging. May be something related to the sleep mode putting the CPU at too low of a minimum.
I am looking at other stereos for my vehicle as it may be an issue with the stereo just not being fully compatible with the newer bluetooth version on the Note 3. I need to test this to be sure.

I have the same issue. My screen is always on and charging but it still stutters on occasion. I used to have the HTC One and it had the same issue. I don't think there is a fix except to try a custom rom.

I have the older 300BTX. One thing that you made me realize is that on 4.3 I was running leankernel the whole time, and with KitKat I was running the stock kernel until this morning.
Going to the gym in an hour and I'll test the bluetooth today to see if switching kernels fixes the issue.
*EDIT*
Didn't skip on me at all on the way home today. This leads me to believe that your skipping problem is kernel-related. Give leankernel a try and let us know if that fixed it for you too?

I was just going to post the same as Kalm. I tried the new v2.0 of LeanKernel and no stutter. Also my Bluetooth MAP is working consistently again with my Ford Sync system. I played about 20mins of music on my Jawbone Jambox with no stutter also.

think this is something specific to a chip. I can stream pandora with pandora control and stream pandora and music over str8 bluetooth via hondalink with no issue.

I think I am going to wait and see what happens when I upgrade to the S5 in a few weeks. If the problem persists I will probably start looking at new head units for my vehicle. I am already eyeing the Pioneer AppRadio 3 LOL

Having a issue with Bluetooth

Hi there.
I have a Z5P single sim version.
After I updated to Marshmallow 6.0,
Bluetooth isn't stable when I connected to my car. My car is 2012 vw Jetta tdi stock radio system(not navigation).
Often music turned down then back to same volume as before turned down like when i get notification, text, email, etc.
Before I updated to Marshmallow, I had same issue a few times, but it wasn't big deal.
Now it's just so annoying. And I wanna fix it.
Does anyone have same issue as me?
If there is way to fix it, please let me know!

That was always the case... I am having lost or intermittent music if there are too many apps are opened... Some time closing open apps do not help, I have to close the music app and restart again...

Sorry for late response. I did same thing, close all app, or I just restart the phone. I use Spotify and all music is download in sd card. I also use Google music, and same thing happened. So I did forgot Bluetooth connection and recent connect again, but it's still happen. I don't really want to factory reset and use computer to fix program. It's too much to do. I just don't know what else I can do :/

Right now my Z5 is under repair and I have to do a factory reset so I will let you know if factory reset works...

I have ClearAudio+ is on in the settings. That's all. I noticed that I have same issue even on my Bluetooth headphone now. What is Viper?

I had some really bad issues with my SBH70 headset dropping out after the MM update.
I cleared all bluetooth settings from phone and headset, cleared data fro SmartConnect and SBH70 app, uninstalled all updates for both, then updated everything and reconnected to bluetooth. Seems to have helped so far.

Update:
So at first, I did reset Bluetooth WiFi and signal settings, also smart connect and app setting. It did better for a couple time, then back to terrible again.
A couple of days later, I couldn't take it anymore, so I factory reset and repair on computer. It seems much better. Maybe a few times I still have same issue.
Great news is battery life is improved a lot. Now I don't need to charge till I go sleep. Also less buggy and faster.
My conclusion about this issue is, it is not about Bluetooth. It is something about OS or some software issue. When the phone is buggy and slow, this happens even all other app is closed.
Now I will wait for update to see if it will fix this issue.
