This absolutely is still happening. I had it happen previously on my kindle fire tablets, so I bought a brand new Lenovo M8 as the app isn't sideloaded and it should just work.
The experience for those techs who may not understand the issue:
Installed brand new/latest Pandora app from the Google play store on brand new Lenovo M8 tablet.
Launch Pandora app and log in with paid account.
Select and start playing station.
Pause playback on station (no music playing), leave tablet undisturbed (no interaction).
Come back a few minutes later, music is playing from tablet.
This is happening on a brand new tablet, with a brand new install from the official Play store.
The issue isn't your customers or their devices, its the Android pandora app.
Update:
After pausing playing again on the new M8 Pandora,
Was listening to my account on a different device, a laptop,
Pandora on my laptop stops playing, with 'Someone is listening to your Pandora account' message.
Go into other room where M8 was, and the $#@! thing is playing yet again!
Updated Update:
On the laptop I selected 'Let me listen' to the 'Someone is listening to your pandora' dialog.
A few minutes pass.
Hear from the other room where the tablet is an audio message saying 'Someone is listening to your pandora account.'
🙄
There are no external devices set to connect to the M8 tablet, there is no external control happening, just the app itself unpausing and playing music with no interaction.
I understand the techs in this forum can't fix this problem, but hopefully someone at Pandora can.
