Android 2.2 pretty much destroyed the quality of streaming apps like Pandora by changing to the Stagefright media framework, but Google has promised there is a fix in the works. In the meantime, SiriusXM users like myself noticed not only degraded sound, but a strange looping bug which would loop a section of a song over and over. Pausing playback and then resuming would work for a minute or two, but then the looping would rear its ugly head once again, causing more than just a little frustration.
There have been plenty of times over the past six weeks that I wanted to chuck my EVO against the nearest wall, or at the very least, try and wrestle Android 2.1 back on there. Now, I'm a somewhat-happy camper! Anyone else who has been waiting for this update, just hit up the link below and get your Froyo handset and SiriusXM back in the music groove.
