I saw there was an update to Pandora recently, so I applied the update. Ever since I applied the update, the application has been starting by itself. I have a small Pandora widget on the home screen, and literally every 15-30 seconds, the widget shows 'loading' and it stays like this until I press the widget. I have done further testing and when I turn on my wireless headphones followed by the bluetooth setting, the Pandora widget changes to 'loading.' None of these issues happened until after the update. I'm concerned that with Pandora now constantly trying to start itself up every 15-30 seconds, that it's going to run the battery down. I've been forced to uninstall the application.

I contacted Pandora support and they wrote back with their "standard" troubleshooting response of clear the application data, change the audio quality, and if none of those work, provide details such as the phone model, android version, carrier, etc. I don't know what that's going to do. I don't want to delete the application data and have to re-add all my stations again.

I hoped that maybe by posting about this issue here, that maybe someone else has also experienced this issue. I don't see anything mentioned about this in the application reviews, but others have mentioned track skipping as an issue since the update.
