Pandora on the EVO

i'm wondering what this is about - I/global ( 266): Default buffer size used in BufferedReader constructor. It would be better to be explicit if an 8k-char buffer is required.
That was asked earlier also - first chance to answer.

When a programmer needs a buffer area, he defines and declares it, and that's up to the compiler / OS to satisify.

In this case, he kinda just said, hey - gimme a buffer.

The system is warning the dev that this works, but is subject to the whims of updates and and also, he needs to be consistent in his buffer use.

In some software shops, the practice is allowed, freeing the dev to think in abstract terms.

In other shops, the practice is frowned upon as not sufficiently disciplined, and the dev ought say: Hey, I require a buffer of exactly the following size...

Old-school guys are typically firmly in the second camp.

The message is marked with an I for information.

I found it quite odd that the resets were also marked the same way, though, in Mr. Ed's logs, while marked with a D for debugging output by the dev in the Awesome Player output above.

Reading too much into the letter codes unless it's a W for Warning or E for Error is a path to second guessing and therefore darkness.

Hope that helps or clarifies.

PS - if you guys wrap your logs with hide tags, this page will shorten and scroll better. Look for the big H on the right under Advanced.
 
Thanks, that does help a bit.

I see that both resets have the D letter. Are we sure that resets are skips?

I don't recall any skip at the end of my run, but maybe that was the song right before the last. I was thinking that was when I pulled the cord out of the headphone jack and power supply. I don't remember which one I pulled out first.

Also I forgot to mention I did not use the pandora widget. Didn't even put one on my home screen. I just ran the app from my app drawer.

Ok, good idea but I don't see any advanced or big H. I'm running firefox browser 3.6.12.
 
Sweet....always wondered how to hide. The buffer line is present even when pandora is not running btw.

3+ hours today and not one single skip. Going to continue to monitor tomorrow.

If you are wondering ...I uninstallled gmail,and put dalvik on the sd card.
Gmail was uninstalled for a sync error I was receiving. It is back on the phone and testing continues. I will go in and" hide" logs when I am near a puter.

Earlymon....thanks again for everything! I am so excited to have a working profile!

In your log, no the D is debugging info the dev wanted for something he's marked resetting. In the other log, the entire app reset, that was different.

Depending on which spot in our tools you post from - you may see it in the upper corner of the text widget, or you if you have a "Go Advanced" at the bottom of the widget - or an "Advanced" button when editing.
 
Another 4 hours...no skips. This was all in my driveway ...streaming to bluetooth. This go around gmail was back on phone...sync on....background data on.

The true test will be driving tomorrow. See ya then!

Btw...car is back from the body shop...after 2.5 months of fighting with insurance companies. "Pickles" is purty again......just had a bath...claybar...and wax. :D
 
:( skippity skip skip. If the buffer process is interrupted (most likely due to network and in my case while driving through multiple towers) it skips. plain and simple. The question....why is the Evo buffering the stream when the Aria is not. The aria appears to be actually streaming it. If the stream is interrupted, it just looks until it picks it back up again.

I am going to start logging the aria some more. I think I have found all I can on the Evo.
 
yep, skipped a bunch today. recorded the same stuff you guys did when it skipped. still no apps installed and all background data off.
 
Yeah same here. No response from pandoa. I have meetings all day tomorrow but will follow up with them thursday
 
Only one skip so far, and that I am attributing to driving down between two overpasses, a big concrete pit, and loosing all signal.
 
Still not a single skip for me since last week when I changed the proxy settings. Stationary or in transit. I feel bad for you guys. I would do more in-transit testing but I've been stuck home with the flu since Sunday.
 
watching to see.. what you all find.. and can confirm..

I just tried.. it..
i am running Myn RLS5 with Netarchy-Toastmod..
using speedtest.net.

my speeds are very irratic lately.. sometimes fast.. sometimes slow..
3G....
with GPS off-- I got around 200-500kbs
with GPS on-- I get around 200-500kbs
**GPS On = radio switch is turned on.. not using any apps that call the radio to action.

so.. no conclusions.

Just turning GPS on doesn't mean it's receiving data. You'd need to turn navigation on and actually use the GPS for a test to be meaningful.
 
I don't know why the app would decide to skip due to an interrupted data stream. The data interruption is sprint's fault but skipping to the next song is 100% pandora's fault. What would the justification be to go to the next song in the event of a data stream error?
 
That is what I can't figure out. When I log the aria on att and kill or switch its data connection it goes into a loop of retrieving until it gets input and then resumes. The result on the evo is completely different yet both phones are using froyo and both have same version of pandora.
 
Yeah, so I've been having 3g issues, as noted in another thread (usually ~150kbps). I figured this must have been the problem, but for some reason at the gym I get good speeds (repeatedly tested at 1,500kbps+, even hit 2k a couple times). I still had songs skip. At one point, it skipped that last 1/2 to 1/3 of 4 songs in a row, then it just stopped playing altogether.

Checked my speed right afterwards, and hit 2k again, so for me at least, network speed doesn't look like the issue.
 
Does any one know how to log out of pandora from the app on the EVO phone? I am new to my EVO and could not figure it out.

Thanks
 
When I was on my 17 mile bike ride on Saturday, I had Pandora running the the whole time. I also had the GPS on and MyTracks running which uses constant gps and constant data for live tracking and maps. Also during this ride, there are a few gaps in cell service which did not cause any problems at all.
 
In my case the tests are typically pretty low. Keep in mind that what we are seeing in the logs is simply a generic temporary loss of connection
I have seen what appears to be a loss at the pandora end....and at other times what appears to be an issue on the sprint side. That is the cause...my theory now is the actual problem is either the phone itself not processing the loss prior to the buffer running out or the pandora software not processing the loss correctly.

So, looking at your other posts, it appears Pandora is aware of the problem, correct?
 
I have been communicating with pandora. They have not admitted to there being a problem. I encourage everyone to contact them via the market link. I will also note they refuse to help if they know you are rooted. Just sayin
 
I really despise this app. 2 hours this morning no skips. Driving roughly 80 miles. This is frustrating. All I did new was uninstall it and .reinstall from market. Quality is still crap on high quality. I am beginning to wonder if this rom is missing a codec.

For the record speedtest is showing a measly 170 dl and 300 ul
