I am also getting "Error Retrieving Cache Block" when downloading My Favourites Mix on 2 separate Android devices. It does work correctly if I select only 30 minutes at a time. This has been happening for the past week or 2. No problems downloading any other channel.

Is anyone else having issues with the RP App on their Android phone stopping after each song? I'm also not able to cache the playback stream nor can I create a cache block. Could this have to do with the current non-contributing membership drive?

Once you get a device and install the app, visit the About This App in the Google Play store. You'll see all your devices this app is installed on along with minimum Android versions and whether or not the app works with that device. We have RP App installed on a Samsung A32, a Samsung S24+ (RP App v4.10.0), and our Equinox using Google Play (RP App v5.0.4), and it says it works with all threee devices. The phones require Android 5.0 and above while the Equinox requires Android 9 and above.

I've searched, but can't find answers in the forum or FAQ page. I'm looking to buy a used/refurbished Android phone or tablet that will primarily be used for RP and offline listening. No, I won't consider an iOS device.

1. What is the minimum Android version needed to run the app without issues?
2. Related... is there a minimum hardware spec needed?
3. Is the data consumption identical for online and offline listening?

Hi, I could not find my problem mentioned, so here goes: on my main screen in the app the text 'welcome to radio paradise' is displayed across the cover art. This happens on my Samsung A53 but not on the Samsung tablet.Is there a way to get rid of this text? Thanks for any suggestions!

I found it by clicking the "Apps" button (which is usually a Favorites button at the bottom of the screen - or by swiping up from the Home page). It should show all downloaded apps - even ones which were not moved to the Home screens, then dragging the RP icon to one of the Home screens. I have a Samsung phone though - other brands likely have different displays.

Thanks, found it. not clue why they named it RP instead of spelling out!

He. Searched the forum and maybe didn't do it so well. but for the life of me I can't find the shortcut button for the app on my android phone. anyone have any ideas? I scrolled through all my apps and searched for radio and paradise on the phone and nothing. the only way i can open the app is to go to the play store type in radio paradise and then hit "open" from there. which is just silly. thanks for any help.

I've been having some trouble using the app on a Pixel 5 running Android 13. It freezes for 1-5 minutes when the phone changes networks. The most frequent instance is getting in my car and starting the app. The phone is still connected to the house wi-fi in my driveway but a couple of blocks later it freezes every time. Sometimes if I touch the screen of the phone to get the display back on and hit play on the app and my car screen and the stream will start again. Sometimes that doesn't work and it starts on its own after a few minutes, sometimes I have to force stop the app, and once a month or so the only thing that works is to uninstall/re-install. I have had these issues for the last year or so. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks.

I use an old Android cell with RP ( because it is small ) to run/bike. The device is beginning to fail. Can some one recommend a solid, small Android device that is compatible with RP? Weather proof would be a plus.

Very nice to see the RP app available on Aurora Store.....another aspect of living a de-Googled life taken care of.

Hi, Jarro.

Just to let you know Android 13 brought back the issue with the album art not matching the playing track again (you had fixed it for Android 11 ). Could you perhaps look into it whenever possible?

There also the persistent RP notification popping up when rebooting problem as well, but I guess that can't be fixed?

Thank you in advance... ð

Disabled optimisation for both the RP app and Bluetooth, rebooted, but again the same result.

To troubleshoot, I completely uninstalled the RP app, played some music on Spotify, rebooted the phone, and no media controls popped up automatically, so not sure where the issue may lie...
