Release Notes
New Features
Support for account upgrades to Pandora One via the mobile device
Faster startup time, especially for listeners with lots of stations. One test with 100 stations showed startup time going from 14.25 seconds down to 8.2 seconds.
Station list sort order is now saved
Bug Fixes
Fixed volume-change issues triggered by some third-party apps, such as Vlingo
Cool! Thanks for posting. Too bad I have to wait before I can upgrade. Well, this will come in handy- especially since I'll be on-call 24/7 over th holidays.
I'm having problems of my own with the new Pandora app. When I open the app, I get a message that says:
"Unexpected network error occurred: General socket error while checking licensing."
I have to hit "Ok" twice, and then it takes me to the page where you select that you have an existing Pandora account. Even after I choose to sign in, it takes me to the black screen that says "signing in," then the following error message comes up:
"Unexpected network error occurred: General socket error while verifying username/password."

You might need to set your APN for your device. From the Home Screen go to Options -> Advanced Options -> TCP, make sure "APN Settings Enabled" is checked, and enter the APN for AT&T (assuming you're on AT&T with your 9700):
I tried doing a battery pull and installing the new Pandora and I still get an error. Is there a way for me to get back my previous version?
We don't have the previous version available, however there's nothing in the new version that should cause this error. Reading through some of the Tour forums, this seems to be a somewhat common problem with Tour owners and third party apps. I'm not sure if RIM is working on a fix yet, but if you read through the following thread, there may be some other things to try: http://forums.crackberry.com/f141/ou...-error-291261/
I'm having problems as well. I have a Curve and Pandora always worked fine for me in the past...I hadn't used it in about two months...then I downloaded the 1.1.3 updated version...now when it downloads and I try to run it, the pandora screen comes up and it acts as if it's loading for a few moments (the red arrows on the top right corner show up)...then they go away and it just sits on the main pandora screen with no options to do anything except hit the blackberry button and shut down pandora. Does this everytime...I've deleted and reinstalled, I've taken the battery out and reinstalled, and nothing. I don't know what's up with it. All my other apps work fine.

FYI, we solved this via email -- the problem appears to have been corrupted application data on DMH1184's device. We were able to reset the data and it's now working.
I was able to get the new Pandora to finally work on my Tour. I just uninstalled a bunch of apps then installed Pandora. Thanks MarcPandora!
Thanks Eric - I'll let our listener support folks know about this as well - we've had a couple other similar reports of the app not installing even with 80+ MB of memory free on the device. Sounds like a possible OS bug to me.
