I'm using Pandora on FroYo just fine myself. Actually I remember some tin sounds on 2.1 but since 2.2 I've had a better experience.

It may be a problem in the Kernel which would make sense because I am using the netarchy custom kernel verses the stock one.

Either that or its in the ROM, but I use my own ROM so maybe that's it...

Are you using stock or are you rooted and running custom? If rooted do a nandroid and try Netarchy's kernel (I prefer version 3.7.8b for now)
[EVO 4G General] Neotype33:
I have tried the Stock Pre-release Rom and the current Stock Rom. I rooted both. There has been no reason other than this issue to move to a custom Rom on the Froyo since speed and performance for me has not been an issue. I do like the sense interface. (My Hero was a different story, slow and over whelmed.I customized the crap out of it since it needed all the cpu cycles I could get.)

Thanks for the suggestion. I might have to check out some other Roms to see if it is in deed a kernel issue.
[EVO 4G General] bpqow:
There's an update for pandora in the market. Maybe they fixed the issue?
[EVO 4G General] sombdy:
This issue has been addressed several times in this forum. The workaround is performed with adb commands at a Windows Command Prompt.

Temporary fix (no root required):

The temporary fix revert back everytime you reboot your phone.

For a more permanent fix (requires root and nand unlock):
[EVO 4G General] sombdy:
The issue is with the Stagefright media decoder. All Froyo ROMs and kernels experience this problem.
[EVO 4G General] ritzbrie:
There was an update for Pandora this morning. Maybe that corrected the issue?
[EVO 4G General] Neotype33:
Yeap, that is 1.4. This effects all version of the stock build of 2.2.
[EVO 4G General] Neotype33:
Thanks I'll have to check that out.
[EVO 4G General] drmacinyasha:
Permanent fix: Use the latest CM6 Nightly. Cyanogen pushed the official fix for the Stagefright decoder from Google, and all AAC+ streams sound perfect now.
[EVO 4G General] sohr:
That does not work on non-rooted phones. THe command executes with no error, but doesn't actually do or change anything (confirm this with a getprop command immediately afterwards).

In short, if you are on the 2.2 OTA you are SOL until HTC releases a fix (Google has already committed their code for it) or someone finds a way to root 2.2 OTA.
[EVO 4G General] sombdy:
That command line does work on a non-rooted phone. The setprop command does not require root access. And as I said in the post, it is not a permanent fix. I know it does not change the build.prop file, but it does change your settings for the current session. If you reboot the phone, the settings return to enable-player = true, hence a temporary fix. Just issue the command again to turn off Stagefright.

So, dude, you are not completely SOL.
[EVO 4G General] sohr:
I know setprop does not require root access-- however, without it it appears to do nothing for the stagefright setting.

Running "adb shell getprop" and looking for the appropriate stagefright setting shows it is still set to true immediately after running the setprop command that is supposed to set it to false.

EDIT-- And a quick soundtest of Pandor/Slacker/Yahoo Radio after running the command shows no discernable difference in sound quality-- still sounds like listening to a low-bitrate stream.
[EVO 4G General] sombdy:
After issuing the command, be sure to skip foreward in the player so that it buffers a new song. Any previous song that was downloaded before will sound garbled. I experienced this same thing. Trust me. Just let it run for a bit and it will clear up the sound. Skip a few songs and you will hear the difference. Getprop only tells what is in build.prop, but we are not changing build.prop because that requires root. Get it? So of course you will not see a change in getprop. But this does work. You just have to have a song buffered after issuing the command.

[FIXED] thanks guys

When I connect my Samsung Galaxy S, the computer doesn't do ANYTHING (it doesn't recognize that anything has been connected), and the SGS doesn't even recognize that it's connected to anything. All the phone does is charge...not even a notification drop down prompts me to enter USB mass storage or charge etc. I've factory reset the phone many times (plugged & unplugged), and nothing seems to fix it. I can't find my SGS in the Device manager to reinstall drivers either.

I am running Windows 7 64bit on a Sony Vaio, if that helps.

I've searched tons of sites & forums and none seems to have a working solution...Any ideas/fixes?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zavonn:
I think I found the problem I was having...I was using a Rocketfish CHARGING cable, and although it looks like a USB cable (it connects to the computer via usb), it does nothing but charge...so I took off the micro usb adapter that affixed onto the mini usb charging cable and re-affixed it onto a random mini usb cable I had lying around. And now it connects to the computer! I can now use all the other tutorials fixing the generic "usb driver not installed properly" problem.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Evilnut:
Or, in my case, cannot get a fix at all in most places.

The only place I can get a fix is an ideal spot near my office, in an elevated garden (on top of a shopping arcade). With nothing taller than me in a 10m area, and nearest buildings only two or three stories high, I can view 16 satellites and immediately get a fix on 8 of them. In all other places, no matter how long I wait, will see 16 satellites with 0 fix.

With more testing I found out to get a good signal strength in normal situations, I have to do either of these:

1. Enable flight-mode (i.e. turn off all other wireless communications).

2. Slide out keyboard.

Doing both will give me a fix within 5 seconds in all out-door or near-window locations. Just enabling flight-mode results in less than 20 seconds. Sliding out keyboard has a lesser effect, but usually will get a fix within 2 minutes.

I used HTC GPS Tool and NaviComputer in the tests.

With HTC GPS Tool:

- Flight-mode OFF and keyboard in, in the ideal spot I get about 50% signal strength for the best satellite.

- Flight-mode ON, signal strength goes up to 80%. Sliding out keyboard has no observable effect with flight-mode ON.

- Flight-mode OFF and keyboard out, I get about 60% for the best satellite.

So it seems the true reason is the GPS antenna in TP2 is poorly located, getting interference from phone antenna and the machine itself.

If you own a TP2, could you test it and tell me the results? (should observe stronger signals even if you don't have a problem)

If most people get same results as me, I'll send a report to HTC. I absolutely love QWERTY keyboard on my TP2, and my next model will definitely have one. I want HTC to learn about this problem (or acknowledge it) so future QWERTY models won't have the same defect.

Thank you in advance for your time to perform the tests. :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] reachdawn:
good test, strange result
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] drewcam888:
Well I never have gps issue with my tp2 so I don't understand your problem
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Lennyz1988:
It also depends a lot on which radio you use. Some radio's give you a faster fix and some don't.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Evilnut:
As I said in the first post, I observed improved signal strength with either flight mode on or keyboard out.

Even if you have no GPS issues, you may still get better signal strength if you perform the test. You can view signal strength with HTC GPS Tool. That's all I ask of the community - to see if TP2 has a design defect that weakens GPS signal reception.

I'm using this Radio from HTC - version is 3.46.25.30. The HTC Diamond 2 I mentioned in the first post has an even older radio version, yet receives signals better than my TP2 does, until I enable flight mode or have keyboard out.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] The Jack of Clubs:
im using the latest radio and i get a fix in a few seconds. it took ages on other radios. its very deja vu with the touch pro. the gps sucks up until a certain version of the radio.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Evilnut:
I logged the NMEA data with HTC GPS Tool, and without flight mode and keyboard out, most NMEA sentences contain blank fields. GPGSV reports 16 satellites, but GPGSA will report status 1 (no fix available). Also GPRMC failed to return time.

If I slide keyboard open, I could see more data fields - GPRMC returning time for instance. I'm pretty sure sliding out keyboard or enabling flight mode have no effect on how the radio driver interprets GPS signal received.

Could you tell me your version, is it official? Where did you get it (I assume here in XDA? I've seen plenty of custom radio ROMs)?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Lennyz1988:
You can get the official radio's here. (There are no custom radio's) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=549939

Just try some radio's for yourself. There is no best radio, because it depends on which place you are etc. So what works best for me is not necessarily the best for you :)

ps you need to have hardspl installed.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] dkdontforget:
you will not be able to connect to all those sats no matter what equipment you have. in total "There are 30 GPS satellites" so I AM GUESSING here. that there are around 15 on each side of the earth. and if you divide it for the top of the earth and the bottom that leaves 7.5 sats so if its showing 16 there must be one extra uneven one in range. so that makes 8 connectible to. im pretty sure that you cant connect to a sat thats on the other side of the earth. or on the bottom.

but thats just my research and my thoughts. i could be wrong. but i dont think i am.

so in theory you should only be able to connect at 8 sats in any one time. OR it could just be that out of the number of sats your connected to. if any other were added it would give you a wrong position

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] FoneWatcher:
I will at times have both my TP2, 6.5, iGo8 right next to my Asus R600 (standalone GPS) and the Asus will fix a satellite within a few seconds, while the TP2 usually takes a good 2 or 3 minutes.

I always attributed this to the type of receiver and antenna, but that's just speculation on my part.

You MUST keep this data up-to-date, lest lock times suffer.

[Epic 4G General] ElAguila:
I am looking at getting one of these instead of the EVO. The HTC devices have the htc sync software that allows you sync your calendar and contacts with outlook(stand alone as well as exchange). Does samsung have a similar software that can be used with the epic or can the htc sync work with it? If they have a program to do this, is it less "clunky" than the htc software and can you sync it using wifi or usb only?
[Epic 4G General] Kcarpenter:
Just Google Sync and have it all synced to your google account, then you never need to touch a computer. :)

Unfortunately that isn't an option. It would be nice if it was. The google sync is easy to use but some companies aren't too keen about people syncing their exchange account with google :(.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Excessiveidling:
While I know JIT and 2.2 usually goes hand in hand and I've seen the opinions with 2.1 jit is a no.....how about 2.2? Do the benefits of JIT outweigh the possible crashin/reboots with JIT and a 2.2 rom?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hungry Man:
2.1 was never made to use a JIT compiler and therefor it could cause crashes and slow downs. JIT really only ever caused a few programs to increase in speed (a lot of them benchmarks) so it just wasn't worth it. The system itself wasn't much faster with JIT if at all.

2.2 Has been streamlined and designed to work with JIT. You won't experience any JIT related crashes that have to do with the 2.2 OS, only ones that have to do with apps being incompatible.

Basically I wouldn't necessarily suggest 2.1 JIT and I would absolutely suggest it for 2.2

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Fireloon:
1st let me make this clear: I have not done this myself!!!

Having said that and if your previous phone was an android phone, then installing the application on your new phone and overwriting the Ndrive folder in your internal sd card with the same folder from your old phone should do the trick.

If your previous phone was not an android phone then I can't think of a way to do it other than contacting Ndrive support.

Hope I've helped

No way I can do this as my old phone was bricked. Already sent in to Samsung to change the motherboard.

NDrive just replied me via Twitter (out of desperation I tweeted them) that there is NO WAY to transfer as their maps are tied to IMEI. What this also means is that your map can only be used on ONE phone. Once you change phone, that's it. You pay to buy the same map again. I am totally pissed now!!! What kinda of stupid licence is this.
