Pandora updated this weekend officially to v1.1.2. While it was announced, I kept seeing original 1.1.1 until yesterday. Our friend Matt alerted me about it, but we didn’t see it right away. He summed it up perfect saying he’s suffering from “Upgrade Anxiety”. I assured him he is not alone.

As always, please update your apps as your BlackBerry works best with updates. The new version makes it compatible with 5.0 and also remedies the bug where a few seconds before the end of the song, the next one would play.

Update: Pandora Is Updated to v1.1.1

By Susan C on Aug 08, 2009 in BlackBerry, Downloads, Free Apps, Software.

pandora-update[1]

If you have Pandora, please update your app if you haven’t done so already. The update brings some network connection fixes, and solves the HTTP 502 error and other network issues like the “connection closed”. Pandora is my favorite digital radio app available for the BlackBerry. You can listen to radio based on your favorite band or song.

The new update includes the following:

  • Fixed HTTP 502 issue (and other networking-related issues such as the “connection closed” problem on the 8350i)
  • Fixed volume going to “full” after an audio system alert (phone, email, IM) on Storm
  • For listeners who use the low end of the volume scale, the jump from 3 bars to 4 bars isn’t as jarring anymore

    • If you have Pandora, I highly recommend that you update the app as soon as you can, and if you don’t have Pandora, you don’t know what you’re missing. Besides, it’s FREE.

    You can download the pandora update/app OTA for FREE from the Pandora website here >

    Pandora For BlackBerry Is Now In Stereo: Upgrade Your Pandora And Enjoy!!!

    By Susan C on Jul 16, 2009 in BlackBerry, Downloads, Free Apps.

    Pandora

    The newest version of Pandora for BlackBerry has just been released, v1.1 which also has improved audio quality. It now streams in stereo! I have used Pandora even before I had a BlackBerry, when it was the digital radio for your PC online. Pandora lets you choose your music by your favorite band or song, customizing a radio station for you.

    Some of the new features of this version are:

    • Significantly better audio quality over mobile network – now using stereo AAC+ (HE-AAC) for both Wi-Fi and mobile connections
    • Listener preference option to select “High” quality stream over mobile network or “Normal” for slower connections. Both are stereo.
    • Create Station screen now has auto-complete functionality as you type
    • Added user preference option to enable or disable station auto-start
    • Moved “Log Out” from main menu into Options screen, it now shows the currently logged-in username
    • Visual overlay when changing volume; easier to see actual volume level
    • Application will check for correct application permissions on startup, and offer to set them to appropriate values if required
    • You can now get to the “Options” screen from the menus of both the Station List screen and the
      Now Playing screen
    • Reduced download size of app by about 30-40%

    Bug fixes for this version are:

    • Fixed stream resume problem on some Storm devices after being interrupted by a system alert (phone call, SMS, email, etc)
    • Fixed bug where Wi-Fi capable devices without a SIM card or data plan were not able to use Pandora over Wi-Fi
    • Fixed reports of “low volume” settings not being low enough – the lower volume settings now go as quiet as possible before being muted
    • Fixed bug where album art may not have been displayed for some tracks
    • Mute button should now properly sleep the device when holding it down

    What are you waiting for? Go upgrade your Pandora on your BlackBerry OTA at the Pandora website.

    It seems like not too long ago that Pandora released their BlackBerry application for the BlackBerry Bold, Curve, Pearl and 8800 series smartphones. Only issue was they didn’t release one for the Storm! Well it appears that Pandora has been update to new version 1.0.2 and with that brings support for the BlackBerry Storm. It doesn’t appear to be on their site as of yet but its confirmed to be working on Verizon Storms. At this time Pandora ONLY works in the United States and leaves Canada and the rest of the World in the dark…

    But if your in the United States upgrade or get Pandora for the Storm at pandora.com/blackberry.
