It's harder to do it on android because there are so many devices with different operating systems. Apps have to be made compatible with the system in order to run.

iOS is simply easier because it's just one device. And let's not forget iOS apps are optimized if I'm correct.

I have played 4 songs now with Pandora app it no longer says not supported but still says nothing found? I am rooted on baked_wingray bb-8 android 4.2.2
[Android Apps and Games] apples723:
Where does it get the songs from pandora servers or is it stored somewhere in a cache file in the operating system?

---------- Post added at 02:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:57 PM ----------

Same problem
[Android Apps and Games] LG13:
Thanks for you work, still not working on the note 2 running beans build 16 with sabre but it is saying it is compatible with the device. Even though its doesn't work I know progress was made. I'll be keeping the app and waiting on future updates. Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] z3nful:
You guys should see another update in the next few hours, there was a typo that was missed due to it being 1am when we finished lol.

The songs are not cached by Pandora in anyway that you can get to them. If that was the case this app would have been ready a long time ago.
[Android Apps and Games] 4thehalibit:
Okay no problem 1 am I get it done things like that before will it work with bb-8 or do I need to wait longer

---------- Post added at 05:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:25 PM ----------

Okay its working thanks this is great do we have an estimated time of auto id3 tags maybe use gracenote that's what wondershare streaming audio recorder uses its amazing THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK
[Android Apps and Games] z3nful:
Id3 tags are the next major thing we are working on, shouldn't take too long, maybe a week, maybe 2 :)

What do you mean by bb-8?
[Android Apps and Games] apples723:
Than how do us get them there are files inthe cache folder in the Pandora folder in my file system and the time of creation match the time of the song being played
[Android Apps and Games] Mosez Pouring Beard:
Saweeettt!! Been following this apps progress for a while. GREAT WORK. Can't wait for the ID3 tags to be implemented, but you guys definitely know what you're doing to put out an app of this caliber. You said y'all would get it working, and work it does beautifully. :beer::beer::beer::beer:

Once I get paid, so won't y'all for the app. :D thanks again!

Sick app works on my GS2 but not my note 2 sasys not compatible ? I'm on stock based rom too hopefully you guys can get this soon if so ill be buying it!
[Android Apps and Games] z3nful:
The Pandora cache files are encrypted, at least on all of my test devices, so we built a work around :)

Update the app, the Device not compatible message was removed in the latest update :)

It was working in the first version and with the last update is not working anymore and is a galaxy note 2

Can you put all the versions here so like that we have a history and we can go back??

It looks like the newest update (done 3 hours ago) hasent rolled through full on Google play, its just serving up the typo'd one from last night. You should see the newest version soon.
[Android Apps and Games] Sam3gX:
I noticed the songs are 64 kbps bitrate.. Is there anyway to get it higher like 128 kbps or 192 kbps?

Also can you add an option to disable pandown from showing on the notification bar?
[Android Apps and Games] z3nful:
We'll see what we can do with the bitrate :) the mp3 tests have been kinda hit and miss though...

As for the notification, we'll add that option into the next update.
[Android Apps and Games] Sam3gX:
Great! thanks :)

Ok, now I found out that only works in wifi it doesnt work in cell data at lease for me I dont know!!!!

Sent from my Atari
[Android Apps and Games] z3nful:
Just for clarity, the free app was updated 3 times in the last 24 hours (We know, not the best practice, but were crunched for time as is).

First update was uploaded at 1am Arizona time last night, the second at 9am today, then the third 2 hours ago at 4pm.

The afternoon update didn't change anything involving how the app runs, just fixed a few translations. Are you letting the app run for a while before checking for songs? It does not add them automatically, instead, it has to go through quite a few hoops to be available. We'll add in a setting you can change that should speed it up, but at the cost of slowing down your phone.

-Edit-

Your edit hit when i hit send lol. Glad to hear its showing songs for you, we'll look into the cell data issue tonight, it should be an easy fix :)
[Android Apps and Games] z3nful:
One other thing to note is that the shelf-life of a song is about 1 hour after its played on Pandora, we'll have the old links filtered out automatically in the next update.

[Android Apps and Games] gradford11:
Still a little buggy/slow but worked for me. Check the signature for device/ROM info. Thanks for the update. Supported developer with paid version for his efforts.
[Android Apps and Games] nerbiyoso:
hi zenful. thanks for the update. it works now but it is really different from v1.1.2. with the old version, you usually refresh a few seconds after the song starts to play. now it refreshes automatically or if not just refresh at about the middle of the song. still getting used to it.

one issue i have is about entering of the filename. in 1.1.2 when you start to type the filename, the default date filename is erased automatically, now you have to manually erase it so you can rename.
[Android Apps and Games] Sam3gX:
"Show icon" option isn't working. I have it unchecked and it still shows in my notifications.

The preview button is broken also. You can only listen to a preview once then it stops working until click to open pandown in notifications.
[Android Apps and Games] z3nful:
Sorry, show icon wasnt supposed to make it into that release lol, we forgot to disable it when we fixed the crashing issue last night, and the preview button was slightly tied into it. We'll have it working proper tonight :)

Thanks again for the interest and support everyone, we'll have this rock solid in no time!! :)
[Android Apps and Games] z3nful:
The new engine doesn't allow for a song to be added immediately after it has started (yet), due to the way we had to program it. Were working on increasing how quickly they pop up. We'll be releasing the old detection method as a non-rooted version soon that should work on rooted devices as well, so you'll be able to use the old method again soon. We will also have an option in the paid app to use that method if your device is compatible.

For renaming the songs, we had to change the naming convention slightly, we'll have it back to normal soon :)

Why does this not work with my device in running gingerbread

Sent from my SGH-T759 and if my gramor is wrong it's probably because I sent this while walking or rushing before a class starts
[Android Apps and Games] z3nful:
The non rooted method i mentioned in the post above yours will contain the previous methods that work a different way than the new update.
[Android Apps and Games] GrandAdmiral:
Ok, did I miss something or is the option to save in mp3 format missing? Was it taken away due to the mitrate issue z3nful mentioned above?
[Android Apps and Games] krisman:
Couple bugs I've noticed using a Sprint gs3 with cyanogenmod 10.1 rc 1.

I can only use preview once then I have to leave the app with the back button and go back to preview another.

The same track will show up multiple times in the list.

A download bar pops up after ads but never any other time. Once that bar froze at 0 and I had to kill the app.

I'm using the latest market release with Pandora 4.2 hacked version by rydah.
[Android Apps and Games] GrandAdmiral:
I was gonna post the same thing. I've also noticed that the preview button only works once. You have to get out of the app to get it to work again. And as I mentioned in my previous post, I can't find the option to save files in mp3 format.

I'm running the latest version of Viper XL for the HTC One X, 3.2.8.
[Android Apps and Games] apples723:
The first version before the big update said my device was not compatible will new update ur talking about support it?

Sent from my SGH-T759 and if my gramor is wrong it's probably because I sent this while walking or rushing before a class starts
[Android Apps and Games] z3nful:
The preview button was tied into the "Show Icon" setting, which was supposed to be disabled before

the update, but we missed it. Odd how its listing the same song multiple times, i thought we already fixed that lol. The download bar that pops up is only supposed to show on 2.2 devices, we'll see where the mix up is and get a fix out soon.

The option to download as mp3 is still in the works, some songs don't like the upgrade (yet).

The nonrooted version will be exactly as the old version was. The methods used that worked are not changeable to improve compatibility, which is why we had to rewrite the app engine to get it to work for more devices. The nonroot version will only get cosmetic updates, as the engine for it is tuned the best it can be. (Also, nonroot version will (probably) never allow you to set track info from Pandora.)
[Android Apps and Games] scsnospam:
Ohschit, I saw a few months ago you posted about call echo when using the AUX port on the Rezound. I have the same problem with CM10.1 etc. You said you solved is using RAAAGe 1.3 or something. Which ROM is that? Also, what are you using now and does it have the call echo problem?

Thanks !
[General Questions and Answers] nokiabolt:
Is it just me or do the OEMs seem like they're dragging their feet on updating devices to Android 4.2? HTC and Samsung had 4.1 updates within four months of the release, and had new devices running it as well in that time frame (read HTC One X+ and Galaxy Note II, respectively). Obviously, I heard that HTC plans on pushing the 4.2 update to the One soon (unless I'm wrong on that) but it's a bit disconcerting that not much effort is made.

That said, 4.2 is a minor update and perhaps OEMs have access to 4.3/5.0 now anyway...

Wow long ramble sorry haha

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 123456789fg:
It their anyway to force the phone to require a password in order to shut down the phone? This is a HUGE flaw that nobody seems to be focusing on. What's the point of having a security app on your smartphone if they can just shut it off and your done? Anybody feel the same way? It's like having a security system in your house and allowing anybody to simply shut it off without breaking a sweat. Are you okay with that? I messaged Lookout Mobile Security and Sent a Request which you can do so here once signing in https://www.lookout.com/help. Just click on Send a Request. Hopefully they can implement this vital feature in their security app. If theirs any smart people out their who can make this feature on their own I applaud you. Your phone will let you know where its at even if its off using Lookout online, but without out the phone screaming (a feature within Lookout that makes your phone emit a really loud sound) it's like looking for a needle in a hay stack. Click on the link and let them know you want this feature. It just makes security apps on ANY phone totally useless without this feature.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshnichols189:
What is a thief going to do with a phone they can never turn on? Sure you can't use the security features with it off but they have to turn it back on eventually.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 123456789fg:
What kind of logic is that? You swear a person will wait years for the thieve to turn it back on? REALLY?

What kind of logic is that? You swear somebody will wait for years for the thieve to turn their phone back on? Really?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] republicano:
its written in its hardware to shutdown after holding the power button for 10 seconds, you protect your information with encryption, locks so the thief won't bother, that's all, not much you can do once they install clockworkmod, no offense

if the mobile provider does block the imei, you can just use it in another country.

google needs a database to centralize all licensed androids/imei with gmail account to lock it of its stolen or un-authorized and report it.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Foxnov1990:
Well it could be used for other purposes too.

For me for instance. I drove home yesterday from work while suddenly I felt a small vibration from my pocket. Looked and it was from the phone turning off... I must have sat wrong. I'd love a "lock" to not have this happen again.

HOWEVER... there are apps known for freezing your screen (i.e. TouchControl atm).

If you get a freeze you're .... ****ed! :p so not sure if I'd like that, but it would be a nice feature if you feel safe that you won't get freezes.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] exb0:
Password to turn off phone? It's useless lol.

Take out battery?

ADB reboot?

Anyways, no matter what they're gonna have to turn the phone back on. If not, why would they steal the phone?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nigeldg:
I understand your issue but all you have to do to turn a phone off is long press power for around 10 seconds and it automatically shuts down. By that logic removable batteries and SD cards are incredibly dangerous as well. If a thief gets your phone and knows what they're doing, there's not much you can do to get your phone back. The reason most people have passwords on their phones is really just to stop friends messing around with things, since it's fairly unlikely someone will steal your phone if you look after it properly.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 123456789fg:
Most thieves DON"T know how to do this. Either way this shouldn't stop the feature from being their. Just because somebody can means we shouldn't?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ingenious247:
lol this is comical.

The only thing they would have to do is let the phone die within a day by the battery running out. Then they could charge it with the phone off, and proceed to thievery as normal.

If they were to implement this, I can just see the 1st thread after this 'feature' is enabled

"Help! My Phone froze and now I need an RMA"
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 123456789fg:
A day is more than enough to find your phone when stolen if it hasn't been "TURNED OFF" manually.

I'll tell you what's comical, the responses I hear lol

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ingenious247:
Really? lol I could put it in a shoebox in my closet. Good luck getting a GPS read on it, and even if you did it's only accurate to 30 meters and I live in apt. complex.

So there goes that theory
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 123456789fg:
What kind of shoe box we talking about? Most thieves aren't smart enough to know these things. The first thing they will do after taking it is turning it off. If it requires a password how will that be possible? I know this solution will not end world hunger or war, but what it will do is provide a bigger window in finding your phone and that's all we need. Is time not relevant to you?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ingenious247:
#1 I treat my phone like my wallet (since it is w/ Google Wallet) which means I don't pull it out and set it on a table at a restaurant/bar, I don't hand it to people I don't know who say "hey bro can I use your phone real quick", I don't set it down at a party/friends house/anywhere. It's always in my pocket. You'd have to beat me down to get it, so slim chance of that (good luck..)

#2 Everything I do is password protected (i.e. lockscreen, Google Wallet, Play Store purchases) and I can disable Wallet remotely and change my PW to my Google account remotely.. all my pics/music are in the cloud so there's nothing to lose/steal from my phone

#3 *IF* someone was lucky enough to get their hands on my phone somehow, the last thing I would worry about is if they were able to flash/reset it quickly because chances are the amount of time you're talking about would be ~6-8 hours at best on average unless you were at 100% charge when they stole it

#4 It would cause more problems than it would solve as phones tend to freeze here and there, I guarantee *YOU* would be the only one suffering any consequence of the implementation not some theoretical thief.

How dumb are you? If the phone dies there is no finding it. You don't have to turn it off manually for it to die.

Again, are you thirteen? Spring break was last month.

You really do need a lot of luck at this rate.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nigeldg:
You're really not trying to encourage people to help you are you? If you want help, you don't act like a douche.

The fact of the matter is that the majority of people don't care too much about this therefore nobody has written any apps for this, and there's no point for Google to implement a feature that has little use when people already find Android complex as it is. I searched on Google and found nothing except two or three threads requesting this feature. The fact that there are so few threads means that it's unlikely ever to happen unless the problem becomes more common. If you're really desperate for this feature, create an app yourself.

My issue with this is that a thief is hardly going to give up after he can't shut the phone down normally. I spent 5 minutes searching and found this XDA thread which clearly states that holding the power button down will shut the phone down. I think you're seriously underestimating thieves' intelligence here, I mean they managed to outsmart the person whose phone they stole didn't they? And they probably know all about these location apps and may have stolen phones before so know how to shut them down.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 123456789fg:
It's not Oceans Eleven to steal a phone. Pretty easy task if you ask me. Trust me they care about security, just because they haven't invented it does't mean their not working or trying to make it work. All I'm trying to say is that this feature would just increase the security of a phone by restricting everything to require a password if the phone still is unlocked. Everyone assumes that this will solve all the problems in the world. It's just a small little feature that should be added for better security. That's it. Everyone else here is totally high on its expectations. I can assure you that not everyone knows all the features of their phone or even uses them all. Same with this, if they don't like it then don't use it. Simple. I'd rather have that extra added security and never use it than not have it and need it.:cowboy:
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nigeldg:
Then the best solution is to make it a hard task. I don't see any issue with your request itself but the fact that you simply disregarded every single reply telling you why it wouldn't help and replied rudely to those who tried to give suggestions is quite annoying. As of now this feature isn't available and continuing to complain won't exactly help (well, complaining here won't help anyway).
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tatltael:
How exactly does that work?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DuMKaSD:
Force Restart?

So instead of password protected shut-down, is there a way to force restart with long press power option? Or schedule auto on at a certain time when the phone is off?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlwaysDroid:
Then they'll just put it in airplane mode. There's no point to this really.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mozXegX:
