Thank you for sharing. This app has been widely covered here, and is also available in App World.

Motorcycle Mama · 05-01-2009, 04:59 PM

Yeah, it was released in mid-March.

One of my favorite BlackBerry apps. Especially for use at work when my co-workers won't stop talking

Been using since app world was launched. Love it. Another good one is slacker, also in app world. Different from pandora, but also cool.

I installed Pandora app and everytime I click on Pandora icon it start to test different connections ..like wifi, and after like 10 second I got message "Could not connect to pandora. Please ensure you have sufficient network coverage and try again"

What I have/did:
provider T-mobile
my OS v4.5.0.124
I dont have internet plan but I do Wi-Fi.
1) I set up Blackberry Wi-Fi with my router
2) I set up T-mobile TCP for: wap.voicestream.com
3) I set permissions for pandora to Allow
3) I can go to any sites using miniOpera browser
4) I can listen to radio using "m.moodio.fm" without any problems

so why I can't listen Pandora radio???

that what I have v 1.0.3 - I just downloaded today

I had problems previously, that were corrected by launching the app, holding 'alt' and pressing the 'space' key 4 times (while still holding 'alt'). This brings up the diag page. Click 'Advanced' and then click 'Reset Pandora'. Exit the diag window, and shutdown Pandora. Battery pull, and try Pandora again.

hyperx · 05-01-2009, 11:18 PM

I did exactly like you said like 5-7 times , but I can't get Advance tab. any idea?

Shaun · 05-01-2009, 11:28 PM

So you hold alt and press space 4 times and nothing happens?

hyperx · 05-01-2009, 11:37 PM

yes, nothing happens.

what I did:
1)I launch app
and right away I press ALT(and hold it) then I hit space 4 time.

and nothing ... same message

Can you try the same on your device please, may be we missing something

Thank you

I just tried it on my 8900 and holding the alt while hitting the space key four times, brings up the screen that Shaun mentioned.

Have you tried deleting and reinstalling the program? I don't think that will make any difference, but maybe worth a try?

Also, I think Pandora, until this latest release, couldn't use wifi at all. Maybe it still needs to check in the first time over a normal BB data plan?

Good luck to you,

I posted the same question on crakberry forum and here is the answer:

MarcPandora:
Normally, you can use Pandora fine over Wi-Fi even when your mobile connection is turned off or not available. However, just today we discovered a flaw that prevents the initial setup of Pandora over "Wi-Fi only". So basically you do need a mobile connection (and data plan) to run Pandora on the BlackBerry for the first time. However, after that it's possible to run it over Wi-Fi only, even after Pandora is shut down and restarted. This will be fixed in our next point release. We have receive a few other reports of this, so you aren't the only one who uses a BlackBerry without a data plan.

Very good information. Thank you for sharing that information here, as I am sure it will help others.
