Thanks for the info, @Tek1. Sorry for the delay, I've been out of the office.
My first thought is that there must be a connection between using your Android and CB, since it sounds like Pandora is pausing to allow for the use of the CB. And since you're offline mode, there isn't a cue for playback to resume once you're finished using the CB.
I've reached out to the engineering team about this and I'm hoping for some clarification. Since you're using an Android versus an integrated app within your vehicle, I can offer some troubleshooting steps to start with that may or may not help. If you'd like to try them, keep in mind, Pandora Premium and Premium Family listeners may need to re-download some of their offline content after these steps. If you have any trouble with your offline content after this, let me know.
If you'd like to proceed, you can find the steps below.
From your Android Settings, please try clearing the Pandora app data using the following steps (not to worry, we'll keep track of your profile and collection for you):
Open your device Settings
Tap Apps
Scroll down to find Pandora
Select Storage
On the storage details page tap Clear Data.
Keep in mind that the steps for each Android device is slightly different. Please note that you will be asked to log into your account after completing these steps.
