Hello, I am having a similar issue. It appears to be with any Bluetooth device. I have a Samsung Galaxy S22+. All OS updates completed on the device. Verified Pandora app is updated. I have a Bluetooth Speaker, Bluetooth Headphones, a Bluetooth stereo on my motorcycle, a Bluetooth stereo in my pickup truck, and a Bluetooth aux adapter I use to play music on an older set of speakers I have in my shed. The issue has occurred on all devices. It can be sporadic at times. Sometimes it will do it everyday for a week straight. Then a couple of times per day, it won't happen. It occurs when I shut the Bluetooth device that I'm connected to off while Pandora is playing or open on the android device. Even if the song is paused, it will start playing as soon as the Bluetooth device disconnects. If I close the app first, I don't have the issue. If I don't close the app when the issue occurs, the app will start playing through my phone speaker and I am unable to pause or stop the music without closing the app. There have been times that even closing the app does not allow the music to stop. I will have to reboot the phone. This issue has been on-going since around November/December 2023. The issue occurs on cellular data as well as WiFi. I listen to Pandora frequently throughout the day and when travelling. This has become a major nuisance. To the point I have started using the free version of Spotify and Youtube. With those apps, I do not experience the issue when disconnecting the Bluetooth device. It seems to only be an issue with Android Galaxy devices. We have a family plan. All other members use an iPhone, differing models. One person has a Google Pixel. No one else in my family plan has reported the issue. I have tested installing the app on my work phone which is an Apple and I have not experienced the issue there. When I read through the comments, it appears to be specifically Galaxy devices.
