Mine still stops when I press the power button even after removing the unofficial version and installing the official version. To get around this I use psshutxp to shut off the screen while slacker is playing and then it works fine.

still working for me, though i like pandora better because it has never frozen up on me like slacker does from time to time.

I personally love pandora as it seems to play more music, as slacker repeats some songs after some time already, pandora does not. I just hate pandora on my cell phone mainly due to sound.. it sucks!

Re: Slacker finally Official Release.... Goodbye Pandora Hello Slacker
 
This is awesome I can look up artist and add them to my stations.. Nothing out there as of today beats Slacker. Dont know why the freezing on you guys? The only times it used to seemed to do that on my phone was when it play advertisements the sound would go off.... and i can turn of the power backlight and the music doesnt stop. Hope you all are enjoying Slacker.

Still stops when I push the power button to make the screen sleep for me. Anyone know what causes this for some of us.

Re: Slacker finally Official Release.... Goodbye Pandora Hello Slacker

Yeah I'm having the issue with the music stopping if you hit the power button to turn off the screen. I'm running sprint stock 6.5.

Re: Slacker finally Official Release.... Goodbye Pandora Hello Slacker
 
I have been using the "unofficial" slacker for a while now and I really like it. I can agree about Pandora playing more music and less repeats but I just think that Slacker is easier to use and the sound is much better. I just installed the official release and I will let you guys know how it goes.

When I try to install the cab from Slacker.com I get the following message "Installation of SlackerRadio.cab was unsuccessful" What am I doing wrong? I'm currently running the new MightyROM

When I drive around with this playing through A2DP to my car stereo, Slacker seems to lose its connection. Anyone else experience this?

Re: Slacker finally Official Release.... Goodbye Pandora Hello Slacker
 
Slacker is constantly stopping. Sometimes it will play a few songs and stop, sometimes it will play half way through the first or second song and stop. I have soft reset and uninstalled and re-installed but to no avail. I am not messing around with the power button; the phone stays on.

Re: Slacker finally Official Release.... Goodbye Pandora Hello Slacker
 
I had trouble a couple of days ago, but it was a poor internet connection. maybe that is the trouble?

Same here, major PIA, full signal and it still does it.

I wish someone could fix this issue where Slacker randomly stops playing. It is really annoying. The Slacker sound quality is fantastic considering it's streaming audio to a phone. It sounds great in my car but this bug is a deal breaker.

+1 Damn its very annoying....

Re: Slacker finally Official Release.... Goodbye Pandora Hello Slacker
 
I was listening to slacker on my computer yesterday when the music stopped. A box came up asking if I was still listening and if I clicked yes then the music resumed. Could this somehow have something to do with the problem with the mobile version?

FIANLLLY my boy has this on his blackburrry and i saw the cab on the Fav cab thread and been loving it ever since.!!

Re: Slacker finally Official Release.... Goodbye Pandora Hello Slacker
 
downloaded, neat app, but it crashes my phone. I suspect my custom taskbar with 1% battery, and/or volume controls.
had to download new volume .cab for custom taskbar, but its not quite the same as original.
app runs ok, although a bit choppy playback, sound is great.
phone crashes when I try to shut it down, taskbar on top continues to read slacker even at home screen.

dunno if its worth trying to fix since my mp3s usually satisfy me and this is the first compatibility issue I've had yet with custom taskbar.

Re: Slacker finally Official Release.... Goodbye Pandora Hello Slacker
 
yea im using the stock rom... good news for people who complain about slacker's music stopping when turning of lcd screen and music stopping halfway in a song.. slacker recently as 5 days made a new update to slacker windows which fix this problems.

AngelDeath 04-30-2010 03:52 AM

Re: Slacker finally Official Release.... Goodbye Pandora Hello Slacker
 
Well I just saw this post, and decided to try it, and maybe what tryphux is what I got, but I have gone thru 4 songs and no hang ups or freezings, but I am also using Slacker thru Wifi, its a known fact that sound quality and signal will obviously be better thru wifi, and mine is a stock rom quite modded, and its running nicely, but I have the modded Pandora (Unless there is an official one) which I wont get rid of either, I just hate the pause as someone said asking if I'm still there, thats a PITA if I wasnt there I wouldnt be listening dumbass LOL. But thanx for the find, like slacker so far. And I can tell you this version, I shut the screen off and it runs fine, no stopping.

Yes but your still constricted to the quality of the cell tower signal.

Re: Slacker finally Official Release.... Goodbye Pandora Hello Slacker
 
I tried the official version of slacker and I must say, Pandora is still number 1 in my book. Yes the sound quality is not good, but the music selection is awesome!!!!. One of the problems I had with Slacker was that I wanted a particular comedian to have his own station with only him, every time I select that customized station, slacker slacks off and stops working. I have to shut it down and restart it again. And when it finally plays the station, it a completely different comedian!!!!!. I tried it on my sis’s Blackberry and everything was fine. Any ideas????

I went to listen to slacker today and there was a mandatory update, you might go to their site and download the most current cab and see if it works any better.\
Since the official app was released I havent had any trouble with lock ups

ya, Iv never tried it on a 6.1 ROM.
the main 2 ROMs Iv used it on are mikes final 2.1 Release and the stock VZW 2.1, and I did get a lotta lock ups with the pre-release version but its been great every since the last release.

I dunnot how ot help but also feel Pandora is slightly better with music selection. I just cannot seem to customize my Slacker to my taste...
I stick with Slacker because they actually have a WM app that works well.

The requirements for Slacker are Windows Mobile 6.5. The requirements are listed here.

Worked great for me on my Spring TP2 Stock 6.5 ROM, I thought the audio quality was far better than the WVGA version of Pandora (and a lot more finger friendly).

I use my TP2 for music in the car, and when I showed it to my wife, I was saying "unlike Pandora, Slacker never seems to glitch out in the middle of songs"...Right as I said that, the song we were listening to dropped out! ](*,)

Re: Slacker finally Official Release.... Goodbye Pandora Hello Slacker
 
i've had more dropped songs with slacker than pandora. I only listen to it through the phone speakers and pandora does the job for that. slacker sounds no different.
