Help Froyo and Pandora on Droid X

[importtooner]

I have not done the OTA Froyo updated on my Droid X becuase I am scared it still has the same deal breaker issue that the leaked version had with Pandora. When a notification came in or the Navigation muted/paused Pandora to play the sound or give me directions, Pandora never resumed on its own. I was forced to re-open Pandora and manually press play to get the music to resume playing. I since flashed back to 2.1 but I liked all the other things about Froyo.

Is this still an issue with Pandora running on Froyo with the Droid X?

have you tried using the widget so you don't have to manually open the app everytime?

I too had the same issue with the 2.2 leak. I also flashed back to 2.1. I did allow the OTA update to install and all is well except (so far) Pandora. There is no problem when I get a short notification like a new email or message. But when I get a phone call, Pandora pauses like it should and does not resume once the call is completed. I close out of the phone and get back to the Pandora screen and have to hit play. Inconvenient yes but not a deal breaker for 2.2. Maybe there will be a fix from Pandora or someone else will identify what is causing the issue.

Not fixed. I emailed Pandora and they said that it's a google problem and google had to fix it. Of course that makes no sense because last.fm, etc. all don't have this problem.

I wouldn't expect a fix anytime soon from Pandora though.

I would suggest everyone email them about it.

lexluthor is correct, the bug is still present. The good new is that you can do a workaround by doing the same build.prop file edit that worked for the leak.

It seems that you are saying there is a build.prop edit to fix this pandora problem???? If so someone please share because I have not come across this.

build.prop? Huh....complete greek to me.

BTW my phone automatically updated to 2.3.15 overnight last night without me doing a thing. I'm not too thrilled about this.

This isn't going to be any less annoying because my main issue is when I am driving I don't want to have to fiddle with my phone on the car dock while driving....its dangerous. I just want my damn music to resume automatically.

Are there any music apps out there that don't have this problem?

Please explain this mod.

I agree. it especially sucks when using the navigation.

That'll teach me to read first. The fix I mentioned only fixes the poor audio quality, not the pausing and then not resuming. Sorry to get anyone's hopes up.

To redeem myself I did a bit of digging and came up with a true workaround. According to

Issue 9569 - android - Google Maps navigation voice prompts stops Pandora music playing - Project Hosting on Google Code

Pandora v1.2.1 does not have the pausing issue that's present in v1.3 onwards. You can snag the old version at

Downloading the file 1282691920_Pandora_1.2.1.apk ...

Enjoy!

Edit: As I've experiencesd this problem before I took it upon myself to be the guinea pig...It works.
