Android: Playback stops when listening to playlists

Same. What really frustrates me is that if 1 list has ended, and I choose another, hit the shuffle button, it may play one song and quit. When I reopen my phone, sometimes it shows up on my home screen, and sometimes it doesn't. It doesn't seem to matter how long it has been since I restarted my phone whether it has been few days or not, because this has also happened within an hour of restarting it, and very recently it happened immediately after.

@Killerdee187 Sorry for any trouble.

I'm happy to help look into this further, however I will need additional information from you before I can do so.

From the list of questions I asked above, can you please let me know:

When this issue occurs:

Are you listening to a station, album, playlist, or podcast?
Are you connected to Wi-Fi or cellular data?
- If using Wi-Fi, are you able to recover the listening session by toggling Wi-Fi off?
Are you using a Bluetooth connection?

Additionally, please provide your device model, Android OS, One UI (if on Samsung), and Pandora app versions:

Model:
Android version (Settings > About Phone > Android version):
One UI version: (Settings > About Phone > Software information):
Pandora version (Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > Find Pandora):

Thank you for working with me on this.

This occurs when I am using my playlists that I have curated. Usually either "Bedtime", "Drive", or "Drive2". This rarely occurs when accessing "radio stations". This happens both in Wi-fi and Bluetooth, and won't stop until I have restarted my phone.

Information from "About Phone":

Product name: Galaxy S24

Model Name: SM-S921U

Serial Number: RFCX1121Q7H

Hardware Version: REV1.O

I have found the Pandora in the Apps setting in my phone, but not sure what information you need from there.
