This is driving me crazy! I've tried three different cabs and am getting the same two errors upon launching this app. After ignoring the two errors the app seems to launch fine, it loads my station list, but then when I try to play anything it just says "connecting" and nothing else happens. I have to then force-close the app using the task manager.

This sucks man I would love to have Pandora on my phone at work!

By the way this is on a Samsung i760 phone with the most recent Samsung/Windows 6.1 ROM. Over on PDAPhoneHome forums, there are other i760 users who say that this app works fine for them. Not sure what ROM version everyone is on, but I can tell you there are no custom ROM's for the i760...
[Windows Mobile Software Development] rikus1138:
Has it given you the 1-day trial message or is this totally free? What I experienced on this version and the version for the verizon touch is that I could not login with my existing pandora username that I use on my PC/wifes instinct/ipod touch so I had to create a new username.

Has anyone else experienced this? The error I kept getting was that it could not recognize my email address. A new account worked great but I am still puzzled.

Pandora Official Announcement

Well they finally released the announcement.

Pandora allows Windows Mobile Users to Enjoy Pandora Stations Anytime, Anywhere for Free OAKLAND, Calif., Dec. 16

OAKLAND, Calif., Dec. 16 /PRNewswire/ — Pandora, the personalized Internet radio service, today announced the release of its Windows Mobile application. For the first time ever, Pandora will be freely available on the Windows Mobile platform further delivering personalized radio beyond the PC. The application will feature the same functionality as the online version of Pandora, such as creating new stations, bookmarking songs, and rating songs with thumbs up or thumbs down.

This is the first time that Pandora is offering a mobile version of its online radio service for the Windows mobile platform. The Pandora application is now available on select, popular Windows Mobile handsets including the Verizon MotoQ9c, the Verizon HTC XV6900, the Sprint MotoQ9c and the Sprint HTC Touch. Pandora expects to release Windows mobile applications for additional handsets after the first of the year to further expand its reach as well as its mobile marketing options for advertisers. Pandora listeners can download the Windows Mobile Application by visiting http://www.pandora.com/on-windowsmobile.

“The launch of Pandora on Windows Mobile is in direct response to our listeners’ requests,” said Tim Westergren, Founder of Pandora. “We’re thrilled to bring the on-the-go Pandora experience to users of Windows Mobile.”

About Pandora:

Pandora (http://www.pandora.com) is a personalized Internet radio and music discovery service available anytime and anywhere on the PC, in the home, and on mobile devices via partnerships with AT&T, Apple and Sprint. Pandora is based on the Music Genome Project begun in 2000 and is the most thorough analysis of popular music ever undertaken. Each song in this massive collection is analyzed by more than 30 trained musicians, and assessed against nearly 400 distinct musical attributes such as melody, harmony, and rhythm to capture its unique musical identity. Using this information to build playlists based on musical similarity, listeners can simply enter a favorite song or artist, and instantly launch a personalized listening experience which includes discovery of new bands, artists and songs. Today, Pandora has a growing user base of more than twenty million registered listeners, a database of over 550,000 songs, and national advertisers such as HP, Microsoft, Honda, Procter & Gamble, and Nike.

It still seems as though ATT is holding out. I couldn't find any downloads for ATT except the iphone and most of their dumb phones.

Post # 187 is still the one to use for the Tilt
[Windows Mobile Software Development] brsev:
So, I've got an XV6900 and I just downloaded the official Pandora release by visiting pandora.com from Internet Explorer (bleh) on my phone. Unfortunately, it only downloads the MotoQ9 smartphone version, not the shiny touch-optimized one in Pandora's screenshot:

That's probably because I'm running WinMo6.1. Is there a workaround?

Edit: Seems to be the same problem as post 205. Works great though, shame about the ads.

EDIT 2.0: so they switched the screenshots. Disregard post.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] sshark:
No problems here on Touch/Sprint.

Thanks whoever bumped this post to bring to attention.:)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] jblade:
Seems like you have to use Verizon's slow ass DNS Server... can't use OpenDNS etc..

Has anyone figured out how to get the touch optimized version on the VX6900

If so, what is the name of your phone in activesync?

like I can't remember if it is supposed to be VX6900 or XV6900 or PocketPC etc..

Pandora on Sprint Diamond

I installed the cab on my diamond and it works great it terms of getting the music. I have one issue, how can I configure my phone or pandora to go out to the internet using my wifi conexion instead of going out on the sprint network? Also, it seems that my wifi gets turned off after some time, maybe a power saving setting that I can not find.

Any help will be appreciated.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] cyburke:
this version works PERFECT on my HTC Touch (Sprint)

THANK YOU for uploading it for us - i couldn't download from Pandora site using PIE

i am so HAPPY to have Pandora on my winmo device - now i can stream in my car!!!!!!

:cool:

(paid for pandora year subscription too only $36 i encourage everyone to do the same)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] norkoastal:
I wont pay when I know that phones on my carrier are getting the service for free. Not cool. :mad: Anyome else have a fix for the Wifi only/4 bar (H) signal issue? I cant seem to get Panddora to stream under any non perfect signal environment. I have had a IP right next to me and it loads up right away.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] pappydapimp:
I'm having the same problem as you on my Tilt. It installs fine, registers my login fine, but when I go and play a station it will sit on 'Connecting' until the battery dies if I let it. What ROM do you use? Perhaps that's the reason?

I'm running HDIII, an early Nov. version.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] chavonbravo:
Make sure you don't have proxy enabled for your internet connection. The proxy on at&t won't let me connect.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] norkoastal:
This did the trick.. Thanks!!! :D
[Windows Mobile Software Development] oic0:
Same issue here. Errors on starup. If I ignore them or hit retry it loads and says the name of my station at the top but never connects and plays.

Holding it near a speaker I can hear the data transfer stop after about 30 seconds but stays on the connecting screen.

Proxy? is there a proxy on WAP.Cingular? if so I have no idea how to disable it.

Pandora on Sprint Diamond

I installed it on my Sprint HTC Diamond. I had to configure my WiFi to keep the connection even when going to lock mode. Pandora connects fine but it gets disconnected to frequently. My WiFi signal shows as connected and strong. Is there a problem with this version of Pandora? Is there any trick that I am missing?

Pandora on Pantech duo C810

I installed the Pandora app version 1.0.25, the most recently posted .cab, on my Pantech duo. The interface surprising works without any issues that I've seen so far, and I'm impressed with the streaming quality over the 3G network. The only problem I have is that the audio quality is not as good as I'd like it to be, I think it might even be playing in mono not stereo, but I know of no way to run a sound test through it. I've tested it so far through the headphone jack on headphones and computer speakers, and through the Bluetooth A2DP to my car stereo (a Pioneer dehp7000bt). I'm not sure if the poor audio quality is being caused by the phone or by the Pandora app, but i would think that since the Bluetooth connection is digital it would preserve the audio quality, which makes me think the problem is with the Pandora app. Any thoughts?

Update: I used the built in Windows Media Player to play a sound test file and confirmed that the phone does output stereo audio to my car stereo. I also tested playing some songs from mp3 and the audio quality was significantly better then from the Pandora app. Has anyone else noticed poor audio quality with the Pandora app?

Thanks man !!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ag43:
now all that's left is to find a way to listen to it outside the us...
[Windows Mobile Software Development] trimeijer:
Yea, I was quite disappointed with that. I use Pandora all the time on the computer and never noticed any problem with the quality. I think the big thing is the app seems to stream mono instead of stereo. I was hoping there is a option to set to high quality, but I can't really navigate the menus because I have the Touch Pro, and the interface is all wack. Still hoping that my phone will get an official release, or that the app will play nice with VGA. But what I've got is better than nothing eh? :cool:
[Windows Mobile Software Development] chiles:
I can go through the menus just fine but I still don't see an option to turn up the quality
[Windows Mobile Software Development] megatec45:
There is a App out by Last FM.com called Pocket Scrobbler. It can use HTC Audio Manger to play tracks. I found the sound quality was great and prefer to use it over Pandora.

You can get info and also download from the link below

Errors running cab on Tilt

I get two "Debug Assertion" errors when starting Pandora on my 2008 Tilt and after clicking Ignore twice it hangs connecting to my Celtic Fusion station. Any help would be greatly appreciated :) Cheers.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Maestro Nobones:
so I installed and set this up... but you need to have local music on your device to get the streaming music started? what good is that? the whole point of streaming music is to NOT have to load your device up with mp3's :facepalm:

edit: I'm unfamiliar with the scrobbler concept and last.fm. I apologize for speaking hastily and will try to figure out this program's full functionality.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] megatec45:
You play one track, it is then cached, you then send it to last.fm and your personnel radio station is created.

You don't have to do it from your phone. Once you have your account setup you can start it from your PC and create your radio stations from there. When you login from your phone, enter the station you would like to hear. Once you figure it out, the sound quality on your phone is far superior. I like both Pandora and last.fm, but on my phone, the last.fm sounds a lot better.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] evertec:
Pocketlastfm.net works better than pocketscrobbler (less time buffering and doesn't skip like pocketscrobbler) if you just want the radio and don't need the scrobbling features. You can get it here http://lastfmppc.uw.hu/.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] yrsmart:
alright I tried two different cabs and it just get stuck at the connecting stage via wifi on my i760.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Gersonian:
I had been getting the same errors on my vogue until earlier this week. I deleted the cab, re-d/led it and now it seems to be working. I also use pocket scrobbler and love it, but I mostly use it because im obsessed with tracking my listening on last.fm. They have an unstable version out (1.7 #3) that has a new interface that is much better.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] DaveTheBrave:
Volume???

How do you turn up the volume on this thing? I have to turn the car stereo volume waaaaay up to get any decent volume. When I switch over to the radio I have to remember to turn it down or get blasted.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] yrsmart:
So is the one off their site better or the epic version better because I tried both and both were giving me that debug error and the connecting issue. So any ideas?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] aatreya:
I've found some ridiculous bug where the volume goes up when you hit the "OK" button on the phone while music is playing. If you do it again, the volume goes up some more.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] devinc:
On my Omnia the volume goes up when you hit the D pad up and down when you hit it down, which makes sense and is quite nice. This volume control for Pandora is independent of the normal speaker volume and cranks up pretty loud, which is good when I am driving my car and want to listen to Pandora.

[Windows Mobile Software Development] tbaker077:
Same here, not working on my i760, and HTC S720.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] fishwiz45:
the way i overcame the debug error was to hard reset. then the first app. to install is pandora. then all your other cabs. it conflicts when installed over other apps. give it a try. i have a herald/wing/atlus on 5.99 t-mobile proxy. and have not had the 2 debug errors since doing the above.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] tbaker077:
What about for us users that are facing a connecting issue where it just keep saying it connecting but it does not?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] norkoastal:
Most likely a proxy issue. Was for me. Try turning the Proxy off then load Pandora.. Worked for me.

WAP.CINGULAR Users on AT&T Network

So Pandora 1.1.4 is "PARTIALLY" working on my HTC 8525 now. The application was able to connect to Pandora site and loaded the list of my radio stations, but for some reason it just wouldn't finish the job to play a song without crashing with a "DEBUG ASSERTION FAILED!" pop-up. I also made sure that my proxy server was unchecked before opening the application.

I think I might have an answer to why this is happening: Most of you PDAs/Smartphone users subscribe to ISP connections as your default data plan, and very few of you AT&T subscribers are using MEdia Net (WAP.CINGULAR).

The program writer of this posted Pandora.cab probably left out the script to include supporting PDA users with WAP connections for the rest of us, and I believe that might be the cause of it. Would someone please help us on writing a Pandora cab that supports WAP.CINGULAR connections for AT&T users?

Thank you!

[Windows Mobile Software Development] buckyg:
Hmm... I am using Media Net (wap.cingular) and Pandora works just fine. However, I am running it on a Tilt.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] banderling:
So there is no fix for this debug assertion error other than hard resetting the phone? You can't just reinstall the most recent ROM, you *HAVE* to hard reset? I had been expecting this problem to go away with the official version, which is now available for the mogul, but I get the same error as the older cabs.

Whelp I got it working on my Tilt... haven't tried my Fuze... but sounds like its not going to work anyway.....

Anyone?

I downloaded the cab off this thread. I have one problem. How do I change the volume? The dpad buttons go with what is on the screen. Side to side to hange songs. Up for playlist, down for menu. Also, where do I get 1.1.4... I have 1.0.25.

I just got the cab for Pandora by going to www.pandora.com from IE mobile on my AT&T Fuze. It's working, but it says it's a trial version that expires after 1 day (?!)

Everything is working for now. Everything looks right and it rotates to landscape properly.

I'll see what happens tomorrow.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] bedoig:
Would you mind posting the version of the cab that you downloaded? I'd like to compare it to the other versions that I've seen floating around.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] metalmaster06:
let me know if i'm off track somewhere in this...

here's what i have on my fuze on at&t

I had the trial cab installed, dl'ed the full cab.

before i installed the full cab i installed the cabs from posts 146 and 187.

i'm waiting to install the full cab to avoid a subscription fee.

the trial cab functioned well, but was somewhat slow.

the posted cabs functioned better, but at a sacrifice of interface.

the 2 posted cabs seem the same (forgive me if they are, there have been several cabs posted in this thread.)

If they indeed point to a different pandora server as chavonbravo said, 2 options come to mind:

- either adapt the qvga app to vga resolution or

- adapt the vga app to use the settings in the qvga.

There was trouble with the decomp of the app mentioned previously. just curious where this ended up.

Anyone found a solution to use the non at&t servers in vga res?

Pandora on WM6.1 timeout tweak?

I have pandora working great on my Samsung Omnia (Verizon). However, it stops after about 30 minutes to ask if you are still there. You have to press OK and then it continues. This is bothersome to have to give it input so often just to keep listening.

Does anyone know of a tweak to change to 'timeout' time?

Thanks...Arnie

Isn't the AT&T Fuze VGA? Does this mean you got a VGA working version since you got a mobile download from pandora.com? If it works could you please share.

[Windows Mobile Software Development] Herbalisation:
I grabbed the .cab posted a few pages back and installed it on my diamond. theres no SIP support at all, but i figured out a way to log in.

First I grabbed the demo for pocketvnc: http://www.pocketvnc.com/projects/pocketvnc/index.php (timed demo, you have to be kinda fast)

and I already have ultravnc installed, great software: http://www.uvnc.com/

pocketvnc should show your device's local IP address in the "options" tab if you dont already know it. enter that into ultravnc viewer.

Once you get your connection working, open pandora via your desktop VNC viewer, sometimes youll get lucky and itll show the SIP key while connected, if this is the case you can click that and enter your login.

If you cant see the SIP key in the viewer, you may want to copy/paste your email address for the login. (for some reason it wouldnt register periods for me so my email address wouldnt work)

You should be logged in to Pandora on your VGA device now, my login stays after a soft reset, but you may want to keep a copy of the VNC stuff just in case. I know theres probably apps that make windows mobile VNC server easy, but this way works, and pandora is running fine on my phone ;)

Lastly, the icons are overlapping and the keys are pretty messed up, but the only major bug is that you cant create a station on your phone, as the SIP doesnt work unless you make a vnc connection...
[Windows Mobile Software Development] oic0:
Alternatively you can just minimize it or open your settings menu in another window and open the SIP, then go back into pandora and it will still be open ;)

I can't get it to connect though. Just hangs.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Herbalisation:
hmm my phone doesnt do that, i just tried.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] htctoucher:
anyone know how to get this working on winmo 6.5?

connection times out whenever I choose a station
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mike21pr:
i think its some type of compatibility issue with 6.5 cuz its a common issue with any 6.5 rom, i gave up on pandora till a fix surfaces....
[Windows Mobile Software Development] htctoucher:
damn.. i love pandora

truly a shame! really hope someone find a fix soon :D (if anyone is even working on one.. maybe we should start a new thread?)
