Android: Playback stops when phone is locked

I'm having the same problem but I don't see the solution on my profile options. Are you talking about "Enable Auto Start"? That's turned on. I've had Pandora Plus for years and this problem started a few months ago. When the phone is locked it will play one song and stop. This happens whether on wifi or data. If the phone is open it will keep playing. My Android version is 12 and I've gone through ever troubleshooting step including background battery etc. I've updated the app. Cleared the data. I'm at a loss at this point.

@artroxu Sorry to hear about the trouble.

I've enabled a trace on your account to help us better understand what's happening.

For this trace to be useful, we'll need you to reproduce this issue on your end, and let us know around what time/day it occurs.

In the meantime, could you explain what's happening in more detail? The more information you can provide, the better I can help.

When this issue occurs: 

  • Is the app still open in the background where you're able to press play and resume music or do you need to close and relaunch the app to continue listening?
  • Is there an error message? If so, what does it say? (Ex: Buffering)
  • Are you listening to a station, album, playlist, or podcast? 
  • Are you using a Bluetooth connection?


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

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


Thanks for your help!
