Is LFM down? User reports show problems with LFM

Is LFM down right now?

LFM status reports on this page tell you within minutes whether the silence is shared. LFM down reports often rise together when the Lausanne studio link or the app stream breaks.

Start with the player on lfm.ch. If the website stream runs, your app copy is at fault. If the site fails on Wi-Fi and mobile data alike, the feed needs a station-side repair and waiting is the right move.

Is LFM down for me or everyone?

Change one thing at a time. Move from home Wi-Fi to mobile data, or from the app to the website. A real LFM outage blocks every route at once. When one route plays, the block sits inside the route that failed, and you can fix that part yourself.

Is LFM more than the Lausanne live stream?

The site and app carry the Vaud view of the day: cantonal news and event listings for Lausanne. Weather for the lake and mountains joins the lighter show pages with games and listener stories.

Traffic is a big strand. Road reports for the A1 and A9, plus Lausanne city jams, update through the day and sit one tap away in the app.

When does the LFM traffic page change fastest?

Presenters read reports on air while the traffic page collects the same items in text. The page refreshes as new reports land, so a jam that clears also disappears. Morning and evening peaks bring the most changes, right before most drivers leave.

Does the LFM app keep playing with the screen off?

Yes, the stream is built for pockets and dashboards. Phones with harsh power saving still interrupt it once the display sleeps. You hear a clean stop rather than static, which is the clue that the phone ended the app.

Can you replay LFM talk shows after they air?

Replay clips gather on the show pages of lfm.ch and inside the app under each programme name. Interviews and talk breaks appear soon after broadcast. Pure music segments stay live only, so the replay list leans towards talk, guests and games.

Common LFM Problems and Fixes

LFM playback faults mostly come from the phone ending the app, a stale install or a weak link on the road. Work through these fixes and test the stream after each one.

Pin the app so the phone leaves it alone

Open recent apps, find LFM and lock it in memory if your phone offers that option. Locked apps survive the cleaner tools that sweep background tasks. Then start the stream, lock the screen and wait. Audio that runs past ten minutes shows the lock worked.

Reinstall a stubborn LFM app

When the app closes the second you press play, its files are damaged. Remove it fully, restart the phone, then install a clean copy from the store. A restart between removal and install clears leftover parts that a simple overwrite keeps.

Switch streams when the road signal fades

Motorway driving crosses weak signal zones, and the player empties its buffer in each one. The stream then needs a manual restart at every dead patch. Downloaded clips ride out such gaps better.

Clear the browser data for lfm.ch

A website that opens to an old front page or a broken player often reads yesterday’s files. Clear cookies and cached files for lfm.ch in your browser settings, then load the site fresh. Your bookmarks stay safe, and the new load pulls the current player.

Set the wake-up alarm inside the app

An alarm that never rings usually lacks two permissions: notifications and exact alarms. Grant both in the phone settings for LFM, then set a test alarm two minutes ahead. Keep the phone off the charger for the test to match real mornings.
