wait for a bit don&#39;t freak out
So can someone please explain to me why Pandora will cut a song off (in the middle, after 5 seconds, anywhere!) and immediately load another song? Are you dumb? Even if coverage lapses, the current song is already fully loaded (an assumption on my part since I've never seen a buffer after a song starts, even on 3G), why stop what you're doing?? Android extrapolates away the intricacies of over the air communication, you just have a socket for Christ's sake. This is especially terrible since you pay per each play. You're losing money here Pandora. Unless this gets fixed I will never plunk down cash for Pandora One. Categories:

Sounds like either their connection is timing out or they are being intentional dicks and cutting off the people's free listening..

I would hope their app doesn't go, oh noes no connection, get another song right now!

That happens to me when my phone drops a connection or switches from wifi to 3G/4G. I think it's due to the way that they use Sockets. There is a way to fix this problem rather painlessly...
