Nathan over at Fluffy Phones just posted about how the folks over at XDA and a few other places have created a patch to allow for us VGA phone users to finally install a working, VGA version of Pandora on our Windows Mobile devices! Although I have yet to test the fix on my Diamond, I’m confident that it will work, and I’m stoked! I’ve been waiting and waiting for a VGA version of Pandora and it looks like it’s finally available thanks to a few code-cracking geniouses.

Maybe this will offset the depression I’ve felt lately due to my inability to activate a Palm Pre on my Sprint SERO plan. lol.

Hahahaha, I’m glad you’re confident.. because to be honest I haven’t heard of anyone trying it on the Diamond. I figured you would be a good test subject. But then again, it should work… it has no reason not to!

And on a side note, I wouldn’t get too happy – Music quality is around 32-64k :(

Nice! I wish I had the Pro (or the Pre). For now I’m stuck with the Diamond.

I tested out this Pandora fix on my Diamond and it worked nearly like a charm. Still some glitches, but it played back full songs, as opposed to the 20 second clips that it used to play!

Enjoy!

You got it to work on the touch diamond? If you don’t mind me asking, How did you get text entry to work? I got the program installed, and it runs okay, but I can’t log in because I can’t pull up the keyboard.

open up the keyboard in another program (such as text messaging) then switch to pandora and it will stay up.

It does work on the Touch Diamond, you just have to be on a ROM that supports it. This fix will work if you’re using the shipped (stock) Sprint Diamond ROM, and a handful of others.

@Sam: If I were you, I would log in before you do the VGA fix. Then your phone will stay logged in to Pandora – even after you flash. The keyboard wouldn’t work for me either…even after trying dusty’s suggestion. You just need to figure out how to sign in once, then you should be good from then on. Let me know how it goes.

Another way to get the keyboard to work in the touch diamond that I found in addition to Dusty’s way is mapping it to a hard button. If you got start>settings>buttons you can map five buttons. I’m not sure what they all are, but the button that says voice command is the send key. If you map “input device” to this button the you’ll be able to log in just fine.
Thanks everyone!

Another way of not having to to worry about the keyboard issue is to input your Pandora login info BEFORE you replace the EXE.
I works for me.

Yep! You’re right. Thanks for adding that, Tigueraje!
