Bit weird to explain, but the other day this happened:

On Sunday I was listening to a streamed radio station at home (using the Absolute Radio app) that I was playing over Bluetooth to a speaker in my house. When I finished, I disconnected from the bluetooth and closed the app (double-tap home, swiped the app upwards to close it).

On Monday, I got in my car, and pressed the "Media" button on my car radio. This usually causes my music to start playing from my phone via bluetooth. However, as the last thing to play was the radio app, nothing started playing. This is normal so I was just going to wait till I got to some traffic lights. Then I would just press play on the music app on the phone and everything would start.

However, about 30 seconds later, music did start playing - but it was the streaming radio app that I had closed. It was somehow running, and playing music. When I checked my phone, the app was not running. Yet it was playing music and therefore WAS running. More worryingly - it was therefore also using my cellular data to do so.

Has this happened to anyone else?
