[Q] Pandora navigation won't go away - LG G Watch

Hi guys,
I listened to pandora last night, I've closed and reopened pandora a dozen times trying to get the Pandora navigation card off my LG G watch but it won't leave and I can't dismiss it. Any ideas?

Yeah I saw it in that thread too but I felt like that thread was more of a catalogue of problems, not solutions.

I want to resurrect this thread. I'm the one who posted the issue in the thread above, but I agree this deserves its own thread.
I've emailed back and forth to Pandora support, and they wash their hands of it, and told me to talk to LG. I'm of the opinion that if there were no native Wear support for Pandora, how does it work in the first place? It displays album art and allows you to pause, play and skip. The Pandora support monkey says they don't support Wear, period.
Sorry for any confusion, but as I mentioned before, we do not support Wear functionality. The card may be appearing due to the way LG identifies music playing on your phone. Since we have not yet created an implementation for Android Wear, there isn't anything we can change to fix this.
Again, I'd recommend reaching out to LG about this issue to see if there is anything they can do about the music card on their end.
Let me know how that conversation goes.

My BS detector is in the red on this one. Anyone have any insight one way or another?

Wear simply pulls the image, text, and buttons from a notification. In the case of media playback, it pulls that functionality from the same place your lockscreen does to display the art and pause/next functionality. Music apps don't need to do anything to work with Wear. I feel like what they're saying is true... Because I've encountered this bug on a few other apps. I think it's a bug in the Wear software itself (or just bad code on the developer's part). I figured it might have something to do with media apps not releasing themselves from the system correctly so Wear doesn't realize the app has stopped and no longer wants to display track info.

You can change watch face or open Amazon prime music and Swype off to get rid of it. prime works as it should.

While it may be a case of evolving functionality, I think it's chickenshark of Pandora to simply dish it off on LG or Google. I would hope that they'd take some ownership in the matter, and contact LG themselves to see what might be done, or offer some workaround. They just told me to go pound sand.

Oh, that definitely sounds like Pandora to me. They're incredibly lazy. Look how many years it's taken them just to get playback controls in the ongoing notification.

Found a workaround in the other thread on this topic. If you press Pause on the Wear card, you can then swipe right to dismiss it.

Works for some people, hasn't worked for me.
EDIT: Correction. This now works for me. Weird.

Same with Sticher or TuneIn for me...
I have had this happen for Sticher and TuneIn as well. I placed the watch in "airplane mode" and the notification on the watch immediately went away. Turned off "airplane mode" on the watch and everything was normal.

[Q] SiriusXM app?

Anyone able to get SiriusXM app to work on NT?
It installed for me with no problem, but when I try to login, the progress circle just spins.
Maybe I'm having a dense moment, but wouldn't the Nook need GPS hardware to pick up XM? Then again, I only have XM in the car and may be missing something.

Yea, I should have known that. I had the trial internet option for awhile several years ago.
I get the same thing. I'm sure it's just the Sirius app itself. It's notorious for being one of the biggest POS apps in the Market, and it appears that Sirius and/or the devs couldn't care less about all of the complaints in it's comment section.
same issue at first
I was having the same issue, just a "loading" indication, then it would just close out with no message or error. Today I just got the updated apk, and now it will go through with logging in and updating some files, but then when it's about to pop up with the channels, I get the Force Close notification.
Q&A go to Q&A. Getting tired of moving threads.
this not connecting is still happening...it's a shame too, I listen to downloaded Stern Shows and would love to take this task and put it on the tablet instead of listening on my phone and wasting that battery....
any updates would be great

[Q] Music Junk HELP!

Does anyone know where I can find the latest version of Music Junk? Mine just keeps saying "Network Error" and all the searches I have done are really old posts. Can someone help me please???
Looks like it might be gone for good since the Facebook and Twitter page has been pulled....
I've been wondering the same, but I guess it really is finally gone for good... which blows because it was the best app for downloading music, hands down.
After posting my last, I installed Music Junk 4.3 on my phone again and opened it immediately to try it out again. I searched for music and it actually worked. I downloaded a couple of songs and everything, but then it stopped working after trying another search. Not sure what this means, but hopefully something positive...
Can you post a link for 4.3? I couldn't find it anywhere. I found other versions, but not that one. Pretty Please?
I have this problem with 4.3 I also tried to uninstall & reinstall. I tried 4.2 as well with no luck. This is typical of them when they change versions, but I haven't seen a 4.4 version out there...

But the more important question is are you getting 4.3 to work? Seems like most of us are getting "network error" on any searches.
I have a 4.3, but it's not like it's doing me any good.

I did last night, randomly... decided to install it again and try it. The first search worked and I was able to download several songs. After that, no such luck. I've been getting network error ever since.
I remember long time back (HTC hero days) music junk used to have some files, that used to pull data from these music websites, that used to get outdated. hence, the new versions would have the new files and we would not get the network errors...
If we can get a developer to look into some recent music junk versions and look into the changes made, we might be able to get it working again.

The thing is that music junk was the only app that showed the bitrate of each song. And it worked! The quality of songs was amazing.
The thing is that there is a very easy fix for this Network error... We just need a developer to look into it.

I agree, with Rolle you are at the mercy of whatever is available bit rate wise. I have had good results so far, sometimes CD 44.1 quality or near, sometimes its complete crap. Just throwing out there for a suggestion to hold you over! I agree and hope a developer can modify music junk as necessary.

My worst nightmares have come true. Music junk hands down the best music app without an overly stupid gui, has bitrate info, and the largest music selection.
I'm seriously debating getting back into java programming to make it work again... but soo much work

Anybody know of an alternative method of downloading free music, I haven't paid for music in three years thanks to music junk.

I think it's a done deal, guys. Anytime the servers went offline & we waited on a new version,I was still able to download on mj ver3.0.that is the only version that would work all the time even when the newer current ones would come network error. Needless to say, 3 isn't working anymore.
No way 4.3 was working for me this month now i get network error why i love this app. Any one know if there is an update like 4.4 or am alternative app out there?
I'm using v 3.0.4, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. The trick is i have to press search a few times, i get the "network error'' the first tries but eventually it loads the search page. I get the error far more times when im using the network than through wi fi. But once it goes through i click on the song and downloads on the first try.

[Q] AAC Audio Issues

Has anyone else had issues with popping or crackling while listening to AAC audio? I notice it a lot with Pandora, and they use the AAC codec, it's not clipping, or audio drop out from bad connection, but it has a very apparent crack or pop every few seconds. It has made Pandora useless for me. I've tried both Cognition, and Nocturnal, thinking that maybe it was a mod issue.
Thanks,
J
Nevermind. If anyone else has these issues, a quick search will reveal that turning off Adblocking software fixes this issue...don't know why...but it does.
For anyone wondering, I was using AdFree 0.8.47. I tried simply uninstalling the application, which didn't work, you have to revert the host files back to normal. Does anyone know of an adblocking option that works well with audio programs?
Bladerunner1825us said:
Its because of the host file blocking for apps that have ads heavily integrated. I think its like how if you tried to bootleg a vhs back in the day theyd come out kinda futzed up. I use adaway and havent had any problems with youtube pandora or anything.

I'm afraid that's not it at all. I'm using a version of Pandora that has all the ads removed, so it shouldn't affect it's ability to play regular music. I will try adaway, thanks for the suggestion.

I'm saying its BECAUSE the ads are removed. Its a well documented issue over in the trick droid thread.

I'm saying that doesn't make sense because the version of Pandora I'm using has the advert framework removed. How could it block something that isn't there? Comparing it to a vhs copy wasn't a good comparison.
Cleaned.
I am going to leave this open because there seems to be a valid question regarding ad-blocking and Pandora, but let this not get personal.

You can't. Dismissed = dismissed (thank god, otherwise al the duplicate notifications would drive you crazy)

I sort of depends on your cards. I lost my Stock quote cards and had to do a Google "Quote XRX" search. That restored my card for stocks. It's tied closely to your search activity, so do some searches and see if that restores the cards you're looking for.

That's not true. Also the watch prevents duplicate cards...
Usually just search for it in order for it to reappear. Weather gone? Say "How's the weather?". Calendar gone? Say "What does my schedule look like?" And so on...
If it was an app that had a card just open the app again.
You might also try refreshing google now on the phone if it was a google now card.

You're right about that, but technically that means refreshing the notification (and thus the input may be different/updated). It depends on how you look at it (perhaps i'm splitting hairs now )
How do I refresh google now on my phone? I've looked but don't see a refresh button. I've googled the weather like 10 times and the weather card still isn't showing up. Same for stocks. What a pain!

That's weird, this usually works for me. Is the weather showing when you asked for it or does it just do a google search? And is the weather card still on the phone? You can refresh google now on the phone by swiping down when open and at the top.
Do your searches for the relevant card, give it some time. It will reappear.
Thanks Devs, from my LG G2
I understand some of the above frustrations with cards. For me I really like the weather on my watch face and wish there was a watch face that had weather (temperature) built right the face (not a card). I have accidentally swiped away my weather card and sometimes it takes hours for it to reappear.
Hoping over the next few weeks, devs will start making 3rd party watch faces (if it is even possible).

[Q] Disable Bluetooth Range Vibration...

I cannot seem to figure out how to block the vibration notifications that occur when I walk in and out of range of bluetooth on my phone.
My watch is constantly buzzing on my wrist as I move through different rooms of my house, and I certainly don't want to take my phone every time I get up. I'm not talking about a card notification, but it's a little cloud that appears and disappears on every watch face I've tried, including facer, stock, watchmaker, and third party watch faces.
Does anyone know of a way to disable that vibration alert?
thanks.

Mine doesn't notify me if I walk out of coverage, so I'm guessing the setting is there somewhere. I'm guessing it's an app doing it rather than android wear.
