If I allow my phone to lock after about 4 or 5 songs the station studders and then the program shuts down. Is this my wi-fi issue or is something going on with the program? I'd like to leave it on while laying in bed and don't want to keep messing with my phone. Could my auto lock be messing with the player? Thanks for any help.
Issue on iPhone

Clearly there are some issues with the new 2.1 they are going to have to resolve. What is so weird though is I am not having any issues whatsoever on my iPhone 4 and my son has no issues with the iPhone 3GS, which was previously mine. I can't explain it! But then neither can Slacker!
Strange that only some with 3GS's are having problems, while others are not. Makes me wonder about what programs could be installed that are perhaps conflicting. Do you have any apps on your 3GS that isn't iOS4 tested? Just a total guess on my part. Are you working with Slacker support? Sending your log files etc? That is what they need to get to the bottom of this to put out an update to resolve the issues.
This thing works perfectly on my iPhone 4. I'll have to ask the son if he has had issues on his 3GS, but prior to be giving it to him I was not.

This isn't just Slacker, Pandora is having some issues as well as a few other music program. So, it seems there maybe something to their claim. I've been able to replicate the crashing issue on Slacker, Pandora and Rhapsody on an iPhone 3G. Though Rhapsody has yet to be updated for iOS4. So we'll see how that goes once they actually do update. I have a feeling the reason they have not released an update is because they have been able to replicate the crashing.
It is like any OS changes, sometimes when you update you break stuff and it takes time to resolve it. What is weird though is how some 3GS's and iPhone 4 are having no problems at all.

Key word is some. Lots of people on the Slacker board were saying it was just Slacker for them which is what I was going by. Lots of the recent onese are 3GS users as well. Not too many 4 reports.
If it is other apps as well, then perhaps Slacker is right. Hard sell from a CS point of view however. Not too many would believe that Apple could do any wrong (present company excluded of course
).iOS4 is the only OS that I am aware of that we are talking about!
I am seeing more reports today about Pandora, so this is clearly not just a Slacker issue. I ran my Pandora and after about an hour it started cutting out and then crashed. During the crashing process the phone was totally unusable for about a minute. The same with Slacker it starts cutting out and then suddenly crashes. This does sound like a memory issue. Hopefully Slacker and Pandora are working with Apple on this because this could mean there are some issues with the background API.
So everybody on the slacker boards that have had issues are also on version 4? I highly doubt that you know the answer to that one.
Well it just so happens that I do know the answer and the answer is YES, the thread over on the Slacker forum (which you could easily find out for yourself) is totally related to iOS4 since upgrading their iPhones.
If anyone is posting in an iOS4 thread that has a different version of the iOS then they are idiots!
And where on this thread does it say this is only about iOS4? Also, did you ask everybody what OS they are on or did you just ASSume (like this thread) that everybody was talking about iOS4?
I see you asked the OS the OP was talking about but I have yet to see an answer.

I think my response made it very clear that I was mainly talking about all the reports of issues over on the Slacker forum. It seems pretty clear to me and NO I haven't personally engaged each person to find out for sure exactly what version of the iOS they are running. The ones I see posting have stated they have upgraded to iOS4.
In regards to Joe specifically I think he did upgrade, but I don't recall for sure. Does that make you happy and feel all warm and cuddly now? :sarcasm:
This is certainly an iOS4 issue because I have an couple of iPod Touches that are still running the old 3.1.3 and no issues there running 2.1. Prior to upgrading the 3G to iOS4 Slacker 2.1 was working just fine. Once we upgraded, Slacker start having issues, along with Pandora and Rhapsody. They all are basically experiencing the same issue.
By the way are you trying to help with this issue? Are you running Slacker 2.1 on an older iOS? Are you have problems? Instead of nitpicking with me, it may help the thread for you to actually participate in the topic.
Oh Yeah, DAB is always on his high-horse according to you. I was not nitpicking it seems pretty obvious to me that all those reporting issues have upgraded to iOS4. We don't know about Joe because he hasn't logged in since June 29th. But he'll be back and I am sure he will respond.
You said you aren't on iOS4, so you are using Slacker 2.1, I think you said you were and you aren't having problems? Doesn't sound to me like this is an issue impacting anyone but those that have gone to iOS4.
Clearly I am running iOS4 and I have shared my various experiences with different version of the iOS running Slacker version 2.1. I have also submitted problem logs to Slacker support, along with some PM's, so I am trying my best to help.
Speaking of high-horse, I forgot about this old SBS icon! LOL
oop: Just thought I'd lighten it up a bit! hehehe
