Apple music playback pause.(Signal Issue?)

Hi,


I have an issue with playback pausing when the iPhone signal service changes. Even with downloaded songs. I will start playing tunes saved on phone when out in my car and it will randomly pause. I reckon this has something to do with phone signal changing as it doesn't happen with airplane mode on.


These are downloaded songs so surely this shouldn't happen?


Any solutions?


Thanks,

iPhone 5s, iOS 8.2

This happens to me on the subway as well, but only for music I have made available offline through Apple Music. When I enter a station that allows my phone to have a data connection (WIFI or Cellular), playback pauses. This does not happen with music I have previously purchased. The work-around I have been doing, is turning off cellular data and WIFI all together while on the subway. When doing this, the only time my music stops is when I get above ground and I turn my cell data back on.


I hope this fix this soon.

I'm getting the same issue when out running - in my case I tracked it down to my iPhone connecting to public wireless networks that require a web login - it connects but has no web access, which seems to cause Apple Music to pause / stop playing.


Disabling wifi sorted it for me, but is obviously a pain, as would be turning off automatic wireless connection for my regular network.


Would be good to get this sorted properly!

I had the same issue and noticed it particularly when connected to a Bluetooth speaker. Multiple devices can attach to the same speaker and when any of them made a sound it would cause the iPhone to pause whatever it was playing. When Prevented other devices from connecting to the speaker at the same time as the iPhone the random pauses stopped. Hope this helps someone else.

I was reading some forums and stuff and apparently its that there could be something lodged in the jack, could be something very small, and the phone thinks you're in headset mode and thus keeps pausing. Because normally when you take your headphones out the music stops.


I have the same issue, and its really annoying. Its now IOS 10 and it hasn't been fixed
