I didn't know whether or not to post this in this forum thread or in the Aftermarket Programs thread since I don't know if it's the phone or the program haha.

I started Pandora yesterday and got this message TWICE:
The application pandora $2dradio has attempted to open a connection to a location inside the firewall and outside the firewall which is not allowed by your IT policy.

Again, it pops up twice then it goes to the log-in page. I try to log-in and it just sits at the sign-in screen, but doesn't freeze.


Any suggestions?

Well, I'm sitting here listening to my "Otis Rush" station as I type this out, so it's probably not something wrong with Pandora itself.

First, have you tried a hard reset (the pulling the battery out thing)? That's almost always my first recommendation. Next, you might try uninstalling and re-installing Pandora. If you go that route, I would definitely throw in a hard reset, as described above, in between the removal/install.

HTH.

It is a great app. I hope the O.P. will eventually get on

I usually give my BB a hard reset every 3-5 days just because it starts to get a little laggy around then. I did one yesterday, I think, just for sh*ts and giggles, and it still does it today. I'm going to try the link to that akosnitzky posted above to see what it brings up then I'm going to re-install Pandora.

I would think that if the OP had some sort of BES IT security policy in effect that was preventing him from using Pandora, it would have also prevented him from initially installing it. Makes sense, no?

So I checked out the link and it had some intricate stuff to do on it so I opted the route of re-installing Pandora with the battery pull...... Same issue. Now, instead of it popping up twice, it pops up THREE times.

I didn't do what the link had said cause I don't think I have BES and my BB came straight out of a new box so it shouldn't have any Enterprise software on it.

I don't know.

Not necessarily. Many IT policies will allow downloads but halt any progress if the app needs to access data on the BlackBerry that is defined as "proprietary". For example, I can download Docs To Go, but I really can't use it's full functionlaity becuase my docs are proprietary to my company. I can read docs form my BlackBerry but that's about it.

Hello To All,

I am new to the site and the Curve 8310. I downloaded the Pandora software and have no problem connecting and listening to music. My problem is the music is very harsh sounding or it breaks up. I tried lowering the volume but it still sounds terrible. Any suggestions???

I want to delete it and I can do it through the desktop manager. Everytime I click on the checkbox it re-checks itself.

Just delete it on the device, you don't need to use Desktop Manager. Options > Advanced Options > Applications. Highlight Pandora, menu key, delete. You may get a prompt to reboot device. If so, do it.
