Any chance you have either the 64GB iPhone 6 or the 128GB iPhone 6 Plus? Apple initially manufactured those using TLC NAND flash but stopped because it caused stability issues. I've had a lot of problems with mine although the iOS updates seem to be improving things.

I have a 128GB iPhone 6. But I don't have stability issues with any other apps, only Podcasts seems to do it. I also don't remember it being a problem around 8.0 or maybe 8.1. It didn't start until later.

I've seen this on old headphones, where the contact isn't good, causing the device to think the headphones have been removed, thus pausing the music.

That makes sense, but I've also had it happen while nothing was plugged into my iPhone.

I can't help but think some background process is crashing and so the iPhone is pausing the music as a result.

I have a 128g 6+, for whatever reason on just one wifi network when I activate the vpn, I can reliably blue screen the phone.

Note I'm not joking its a giant screen of blue then boom restart. I assume that is a kernel panic of sorts. But this one wifi network has "enterprise" level wpa. Just annoying to no end.

I was having the same issue with my iPhone 5s a couple of days ago.

Apparently, it's specific to a T-Mobile update and using calling over Wi-Fi.

Interesting, will see if anything there helps thanks for the heads up!

I have a 16gb 4S (Q_Q) that has the exact same stability problems with Podcasts. It drives me nuts, it crashes frustratingly often while I'm driving to work in the morning.
