Just got the Samsung Nexus ICS from Verizon the other day. Phone is still stock. Installed Pandora.
The issue: Playing Pandora for about 30 min or even 10 min the phone shuts off immediately and then turns back on. Does not even go back to playing music on Pandora. Right back to the first screen, password screen. Now I have played google music and this has not happened. I even un installed Pandora to troubleshoot which music engine is bugging. No issues with the phone after I un installed Pandora. I waited a full day then re installed Pandora and the issue has not gone away.
Talked to another forum member who has the same set up and he has had no issues with running Pandora.
Any suggestions.
Thanks

Pandora for me bugs out when trying to use it on ICS. It "sorta" works. I chock it up to not being ICS compatible.

No troubles running pandora here. AOKP with apex kernel. Maybe try fix permissions.
Mine works fine, try uninstalling and reinstalling the app.

I am running stock 4.0.2, rooted. Pandora is running fine on my Galaxy Nexus
I am running the GSM version. It streams fine over wifi and over the Cell network.
So, it doesn't look like the problem is ICS. It may be something specific with Verizon.
Are you playing over wifi, verizon CDMA, or LTE?
This may or may not be your issue. I've had a few apps crash on me. Turns out they didn't like the force 2d hardware rendering setting. Some apps don't crash but have other issues. Like tap-a-talk won't always show images with it turned on. If you have that on , you can try turning it off.

Pandora works fine for me with the screen on if I turn the screen off it cuts out from time to time. Sucks as I use it while working out and its driving me nuts. Any chance ICS is cutting CPU availability with the screen off and it impacts pandora?

I've had Pandora, Google Music, and Rhapsody all crash my phone a number of times: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1379600 . Not sure what the issue is.
I have no issues with streaming Pandora on my stock 4.0.2 Verizon GNex all day (8-10 hrs). Like someone else said, try uninstalling and reinstalling the app.

Could it be a Bluetooth problem?
I'm having the same issue with Pandora (and Stitcher). I use them on the drive to work with Ford Sync, and after a while the phone will restart. I think it may be a bluetooth problem because upon reboot, the bluetooth connection gets stuck and requires another boot once I get to my location.
The bluetooth incompatibility is a known issue and hopefully gets resolved soon
I'm running ARHD 6.04 (4.03 ICS) on Sensation.
It can be a hard hand off from LTE to CDMA 1X/EV-DO, even with eHRPD. The data connection actually stops before being picked up by the other network. If connection is lost, Pandora will pause itself. If it's in the background, it may be killed.
Just posted up my experience in this thread in the Q/A section:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21865443&postcount=21
I was told to try using Fix Permissions in RM, but ran into an issue with that as well.
---------- Post added at 07:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:54 PM ----------
Solved the Rom Manger Fix Permissions with this:
http://androidforums.com/899973-post26.html
woo，just a radio, still get lot to replace
Huh?
Anyway, Fix Permissions seemingly solved the problem for now... will update later.
So... One Pandora crash on 3G so far since Fix Permissions. Re-did the process and so far it has been holding again, for slacker and iheart too.
Pandora has done that on every phone I've had. That is why I don't use it anymore.

People have been seeing the GN do random reboots for awhile now, even when not using Pandora.
I've had it happen when the phone was just sitting there on the desk idle. I've had it happen during navigation with Google Maps. But it most frequently happens on Pandora.
There is a theory that it's a heat related issue. Basically that the phone is rebooting to protect itself.
There is some logic to that, as it seem to happen most frequently when I've got it plugged in charging and I'm streaming something to my phone (Pandora, Google Maps, etc).
It's apparently an issue Google is aware of, but that doesn't make it less frustrating.

I wish this were a more general reboot. The only other crash is get is with occasional flash videos, when trying to change the quality (youtube).
Otherwise, I have had NO OTHER RANDOM REBOOTS aside from Pandora/Slacker/iHeartRadio. Happening very frequently again. Is it just straight incompatibility? These apps are unusable and this is a heavy portion of what I use my phone for.
If it were heat, wouldn't all the games that leave my phone at hand-warmer status crash it? This does not happen for me. I explained very clearly when this issue was arising.
So I use google music player instead of the native s3 music player from samsung because I have all my music uploaded to the google cloud. I just got the s3 a month ago and continually have this issue. I'm listening to music then all of a sudden it stops, it looks like its still playing but can't hear anything and then when I try and back out of it its frozen.
Any ideas? Anyone else experiencing this issue?
thx in advance

This was something I experienced while on frosty jb rom. Thought I was crazy the only way I fixed it was to force stop the app when it happened. Quite annoying I know

I think its a problem with touchwiz, so far have not had any issues with toasted .marshmallows. a solution I found is to go to application manager and clear data under Google play. Its not efficient and you have to wait a few minutes for it to sync again.

Are you rooted? I had that same issue on jellybean stock w/ root. Better Battery Stats showed I kept getting a LPAplayer wakelock and when I changed the build.prop following this post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=25475691&postcount=4732) it seemed to help. Dunno what the cause is or why that would fix it, but try it out if you have root.
thank you for all the responses.
So I am not rooted, just on the out of the box sg3 system.
I will try some of the suggestions..disappointed that there is the issue. And it does the same thing whether streaming from the cloud or the songs I have pined for offline listening which sits on the cache. :crying:
I'm having the exact same issue. I'm on stock JB, not rooted. It'll play a song or two then just freeze. I have to back completely out and try again and get the same results. Frustrating, because I don't store any music at all on my device.

and like me do you experience same results whether its streaming or playing a pined/cached song?
I wonder if there is someone to report this? I imagine it must be a know issue though?

Shouldn't be a touchwiz issue, as I have the same problem even though I'm running Nova Prime. I just replaced the google player widget with the samsung one and have been happy ever since. I don't really miss the cloud sync cause my library rarely changes much.
I am having the same issue. I thought it might be the romantic I was running, but now it has happened on two different roms. I wonder if it is a Jellybean issue?

I see this every so often when I am listening to music in the cloud. I never had this issue with my Vibrant. I am betting it is the Google music player needing a fix

Play music has been buggy for the past few releases. Bout the only solution is to roll back to a previous version. Down side is you lose themeing

I'm still having this issue. I don't have music pinned on my device, it's all in the cloud. Never, ever had this issue on my Vibrant. I actually went to Google's help today and the rep who called said they know it's happening with this phone. He advised me to uninstall the updates and then reinstall from the market. I did that, and it actually feels worse. Now it's "frozen" on one song and won't let me select another. The only buttons I have available are back, pause and forward, but it isn't playing anything.
Interestingly, I just uninstalled updates again, taking my Play Music app back to v4.3.606.400990 and it seems to be working fine. I've even had music interrupted a few times by phone calls and it picks up again and plays with no help from me.
Used to happen to me as well on stock, but since rooted and now running 4.2.1 problem has disappeared
same problem with vzw gs3
I have this same problem with my phone. The following steps detail what reproduces the issue for me.
Play Music starts playing, gets through about two songs, then stops.
When waking the phone Play Music is frozen. The pause, previous and next track buttons, but nothing on the screen responds to touch.
Hold down home button and use the built in task manager to end Play Music, accepting the warning.
Restart Play Music and continue playing. It will play normally after that.
However, from then on the LPAPlayer will keep the phone from sleeping.
If I leave it alone, it will show wakelocks into the 10-15 hour range.
A reboot of the phone will fix the wakelock, until I use Play Music again.
I am on stock rooted JB for VZW (VRBLK3). I don't think it's ROM or even phone specific though.Iit seems to affect a wide spectrum of ROMs and a few different phones on different carriers.
I am currently trying out the recommendation on this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=34586729&postcount=10
I am about six songs in now, will report back if it fails.

Has anyone noticed their music skipping? Poweramp/stock player. Its getting annoying as my g3 does it too. Is it an android problem or a phone issue? My phone is the h815; no root/bootloader is locked.
Update: I have emailed lg support and will hopefully get it dealt with. If its a phone fault I will just switch it for something else. This problem has persisted since the g3 and is just plain frustrating.
New update: I investigated my microsd card and have found there is a problem with it. When i transfer items from and to the card i get an io eror under Windows. I put my music onto a 64GB card and now the skipping appears to have disappeared. I was using a 128GB lexar card. I suppose the skipping could be from where the os cant read the file properly. It was doing it every minute or so.

FWIW, since lollipop I've had random music glitches when playing over bluetooth. This goes back to my HTC M8 as well. 4.4.4 no issues.... lollipop, random skipping/distortion. Usually most noticeable when the screen turns off/locks

Thanks for the response, I guess I'll just have to hope that the software developers find a way to deal with the issue. I'm glad its not tied to just lg.

I use Dogcatcher for podcasts during my commute. I have noticed the audio dropouts with Wifidirect/Miracast as well. This seems to happen multiple times per minute. As stated, 4.4.4 had no issues on my prior SGS4.

As I use Bluetooth streaming from my LG G4 everytime I get in the car, this problem really annoyed me. Like you, I had tried many different settings without luck. I noticed these issues mostly in Doggcatcher and Spotify, but also heard drops in waze and maps. My issue was due to the location settings.
In location settings, I disabled wifi and only enabled GPS. I also use quite a bit of Tasker and leave the screen dimmed while connected to Bluetooth as the mirracast that I hacked into my car won't display with the screen off.
The other setting that may help is set in a program called carhome ultra, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=spinninghead.carhome which is a great car dashboard app. The setting will slow the GPS update rate. My phone is stock and unrooted.
I hope this fix works for you. If you have any questions, reply to this thread.
Hello all.
This question isn't Pixel-specific (as far as I know) but I wanted to ask it here.
For the last week or so, my Pixel XL will suddenly and loudly play an the audio from what I assume is an advertisement video. If I unlock the phone while it's playing, the audio stops and there's nothing to see (other it it seemingly switching from landscape back to portrait).
I tried to delete all apps I've installed in the last 2 weeks, but it still happens.
Any suggestions on how I can solve this issue?

Try running some of the adware and virus scanners. There are some good ones on the play store now. I would suggest you also look at what services are running. Sounds like it is infected.
I tried running two of the top virus and malware scanners, and nothing was found.
Regarding running services, I don't see anything unusual in the list (from Developer options). But then again, I'm not sure what I'm looking for.
Try killing the processes until the audio stops. That should help find out the cause.
Best way to fix would be to do a factory reset.
Sounds like your best bet is a factory reset.
I think it's a Facebook issue. I have same issue only after playing video thru Facebook app.

Can you check logcat logs to see what's doing what?
While watching Netflix, sometimes the video will freeze but audio continues. However, once I tilt or move the phone it will begin playing again. If I leave it still the video will not resume on it's own. I did not know how to begin to search for a similar problem to this without looking through every "Netflix freezing" post. Anyone else with something similar and a possible fix?
Happens to me... I think it's a Netflix issue for sure. I've been noticing this odd freezing across many devices lately...
Yeah like the previous poster stated there have been issues with Netflix on many devices. My fiance's note 8 has random freezes of video, my Pixel 2 XL, and Shield all have it too. It's not the phone, just a buggy Netflix app.
