After Froyo Update, Pandora and Police Scanner Apps Do Not Work...

[noahb]

First of all, I truly love my Droid X, it is by far the best phone I have ever owned (Blackberry Storm 2, Blackberry curve, etc.)...

However, since the Froyo OS Update was installed on my phone, 2 of my favorite apps are not functioning properly...

The apps are Pandora and Scanner Radio. Both are radio based applications.

When I open Pandora and attempt to access a radio station, the screen will display, "WE ARE EXPERIENCEING UNEXPECTED TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES"

When I open Scanner Radio and attempt to access a frequency, the screen will display, "UNABLE TO CONNECT"

I have attempted to uninstall/reinstall the application, to restore the phone to factory settings with Verizon's Tech support, to take the battery out, and to do a "hard" restore, all to no avail...

My question is if anyone has experienced similar problems with these apps since the Froyo OS update? Or, has anyone who has these apps on their Droid X since the Froyo OS update been able to use them normally?

They both worked perfectly fine prior to Froyo, and are the latest updated versions...

I would love to hear of any similar experiences, possible solutions, comments, etc.

Thanks,

Noah

I believe that a handful of phones, not just the X, have had streaming audio issues after getting Froyo.

Well, that does offer some consolation to me... However, I have been browsing various forums (Motorola, Verizon, Droid X Forums, etc.) which discuss technical issues with the Droid X, and have noticed that others with the Droid X have reported no issues with Pandora after Froyo... 

I did notice that on pandora's website FAQ section, they did mention issues with the quality post-froyo:

Why am I experiencing audio issues on Froyo?

If you have upgraded to Froyo (Android 2.2), you may notice audio-quality issues while listening to Pandora. The Android team is aware of this issue with AAC+ audio and has released a fix, which is gradually being rolled out on the various Android handsets.

Currently the Sprint HTC EVO and the Google Nexus One have OTA Android OS updates that incorporate this AAC+ audio fix.

If you have a different handset than the two mentioned, please contact the support team for your handset if you have any further questions about this issue.

However, my Droid X will not even play the songs... Although, prior to Froyo, it worked great...

Anyway, I was hoping that someone who has experienced similar issues with their Droid X, might have a solution for the problem...

* Since my original post, I performed another hard factory reset, only this time I also reformatted my SD Card prior to the reset...

It seems to have resolved the problem temporarily, however I will wait to see if it lasts more than a few days...

Anyway, thanks for the comment...
