We've just put out an update to the Pandora BlackBerry app - version 1.1.8. Like the previous version, this is a bug fix release only (no new features).
It is available immediately by pointing your mobile browser to the Pandora website at http://www.pandora.com and should be available in App World in the next day or two.
As usual, our help desk is available for handling any questions or problems you may have at [email protected]
Just installed 1.1.8 hoping it would fix some of the halting and hanging I'm experiencing (usually near beginning or end of songs).
I noticed an error message today for the first time. Basically something to the effect of DNS error when sending thumbs up. I hope perhaps this may give a clue as to why it hangs. I couldn't find a place on the Pandora web site for feedback, so hopefully this gets to the right folks.
Thanks Marc. Just wanted to confirm that I am also seeing the same bug. Mute button does not work for start or pause. Works fine when in Blackberry Media player.
Having same problem, have a blackberry curve and the middle button that normally functions as 'play' is not working. Glad to know you guys are already working on it!
The 9650 is definitely supported (both 5.0 and 6.0 OS) - did you install the app from our website or App World?
I installed it from your website. Now it plays but intermittently pauses for a few seconds. I've uninstalled and reinstalled several times, done battery pulls etc..
Thanks for the reports guys - we've confirmed the regression with the mute button not working (to play/pause) and we'll work on getting a fix out as soon as possible.
Is there any way to download the earlier version of this app? I use my phone for cycling and the mute/pause button is an absolute necessesity as the phone is in my jersey. I now have no way to pause the music when i need to hear my surroundings and so my pandora app is basically useless. Any way to download 1.1.7?
I'm also finding that the volume no longer works with blue tooth headset.
Did it work for you on previous versions of the app? We just did a quick test and the volume control is still working fine on a Samsung SBH-500 headset on a BlackBerry 8530 running 5.0.
