Music pauses when connecting to network

I've noticed that when my phone connects to a cellular data signal after having been disconnected, a song will pause and not start again until I press play. I noticed this while riding a subway on which my periodically goes between no service and some service. Each time it connected, the song would pause. I can replicate this behavior by turning off my data and then turning it on again. Once it connects, my song pauses.


Does anyone else have this problem? It's very annoying.

iPhone 6, iOS 8.4

My guess is that it has to do with not being able to stream without cellular data or Wi-Fi. It sounds like a similar effect to what happens with me, I use Wi-Fi in my house but as soon as I get a house or two away I lose Wi-Fi And my phone jumps to cellular data. If I were to be doing something like an Internet search I would have to refresh the page after losing Wi-Fi connection before the cellular data fully takes over for the Internet search. I only use music streaming in my home so I can't comment specifically what is happening in your case but I hope this maybe helps you figure it out.

I understand your answer, but I don't think that's the problem, unfortunately.


I didn't make it clear that this happens when listening to songs I have made available offline. I don't stream outside of my house. So, when I'm on the subway I have no service (most of the time). While on the subway, I listen to the songs I have available offline. But every now and then, I get service for a few seconds. When my phone reconnects to cellular data, my music will pause and won't start again unless I manually hit the play button.


This becomes a problem when every few minutes on the subway my phone goes between no service and service.
