Help Pandora issues

I <3 Pandora. I've used the mobile app for months. Lately, I'll listen to a song and get 10 seconds in, then it acts like it's on mute. The pause button is still lit up, so it thinks it's playing something-- but it's not. If I skip that song to go onto the next one, it'll start to play then 10 seconds later I have the same problem.

I've restarted the phone, uninstalled Pandora then re-installed, and even gone back to a previous version of it that I know worked (through TI) and that also doesn't work.

I really think I've tried anything. Any ideas?
 
Same problem, tried same steps without luck.

un/reinstalled pandora radio, went back to 1.3 (which worked). still same symptoms. I did do a factory data reset and then re-installed 1.3 (from an .apk I had) and it works better... but will still freeze for minutes at a time.

My resolution:

Slacker radio.

I thought it maybe was my phone so I decided to try slacker and slacker works 99% of the time so I'm pretty sure it's just Pandora.

Wanna know something funny? I was *just* about to subscribe to PandoraONE and pay. Sorry Pandora, you just lost a paying customer.

Ironically before I read your reply, that's what I downloaded. I was at work for 15 minutes in silence and wondered "How do people work like this?" before I found a substitute. I hope Pandora gets this thing fixed, it is annoying. (As an aside, I think Slacker's library is deeper than Pandora's which is important to me.) In any case, I never would have found this if Pandora didn't have this boo boo. I also use 'TuneIn Radio' which does virtually the same thing and that's problem free, so it has to be Pandora.
