Hi all,
I've had Straight Talk since November without pretty much any issues (expect on data issue I had to call to fix). I have a Nexus 5. I use Pandora One (paid member) a lot on WiFi and 4G, it works great, high quality feature checked, etc..
Just last week, the 17th, I loaded up Pandora on 4G, and it sounded unbelievably low quality. It wouldn't stop to buffer, but it was almost like an automatic equalizer was adjusting the bass in and out and it sounded like I was in a tunnel and was very glitchy sounding. I thought this issue would go away thinking it was Pandora's server issues. It did not.
What I noticed, later, I went on WiFi, and Pandora loaded up flawlessly with no modulation sounding glitchiness, just like it always did with 4G/WiFi.
So I assumed it to be straight talk at fault. I contacted Pandora through email (only way of contact which absolutely sucks), but they never heard of this issue before. They submitted the problem to their engineers. I then contacted Straight Talk over phone but they were so confused and absolute gibberish talking they couldn't find the issue or help me either. They hung up on me, so typical Tracfone...lol...I wanted to throw my phone but I knew it's not my phone at fault. I posted this same post on Straight Talk forums thinking I'll get at least five different Straight Talk user replies, I did not. Instead, some staff member replied saying chat with a live agent. I did, and it did not help, as expected.
4G with Pandora was working PERFECTLY between November and March 16th, pretty much everyday. The 17th I starting noticing the unbearable fuzziness of the songs on 4G only. I can't even stream Pandora over 4G anymore it hurts my ears.... It's Pandora version 5.8, last updated March 9th. No changes in conditions or changes to settings were done when it started happening.
Please someone help me...I've tried reinstalling and everything..... Again, works great on WiFi so that would pretty much rule out my phone being the issue. Also, my data counter just refreshed on 4G, still same issue. I did try other music streaming apps with the same songs on 4G, and no modulation at all, perfect. Seems to just be Pandora app on 4G only. HELP!?
Lol, thanks guys!
