I didn’t mention that after pausing the music or taking the AirPod out to talk to someone, the app will go white like it’s refreshing (just like I’ve relaunched the app) and the song I’m listening to will not be the same as when I left it. 

Any update on a patch or software update for this?

Hi @Pfred We've recently released an update for iOS, version 2001.1. This update may help with some of the trouble you've been having. 

To update the Pandora app on your iOS device on iOS 13 or newer:

  1. Open the App Store application.
  2. Tap your Apple ID icon in the top right corner.
  3. Scroll down to the Pandora app. If an update is available, there will be an Update icon.

Tip: If no update is available, it will say Open to the right of the Pandora icon.

I've had the same Pandora account for 10 years and between 2009 and 2013 Pandora never closed when I switched through apps, now i can't exactly tell when things started going weird with pandora but yeah, it started closing with the shortest amount of time using something like chrome to do a quick search, Google assist or using the Mic to do a text message. I finish 2 minutes of side stuff and look up to the pull down bar and its gone, right in the middle of a good song, it gets me everytime.

None of these basic troubleshooting steps help.  This happens mostly when I have a bluetooth device connected. The lock screen and widget controls don't work at all after pausing.   Any pause leads to having to go back into the app and then either unpause from there, skip to the next song or close or restart the app.  It is unpredictable as to which step is required.  

  • Device & Generation: iPhone X
  • Carrier: Sprint
  • iOS version: 13.2.3 
  • Pandora version: 2001.1
  • Are you connected to Wi-Fi or 3G/4G (cellular data) when this is happening? Doesn't seem to amtter whether on wifi, 3G or LTE
  • If you are using a bluetooth device when this happens, what is the make and model of that specific device? Anker Soundcore Liberty Air 2

Hi @Rdcotterman! Welcome to community!

Sounds like Pandora isn't able to resume when backgrounded by the phone call. I'm happy to pass this along to our engineering team for further investigation.

Can you let me know:

  • The make and model of your Bluetooth helmet.
  • The Pandora version you're on: (Pandora > Profile tab > Settings gear & scroll to the bottom of the screen) Note: The latest version of Pandora is 2207.2. If you're not on the latest version, update the Pandora app and try once more.
  • Have you noticed this only happening when connected to the helmet or other Bluetooth enabled devices?

Thanks for the help!
