I seem to have an issue with streaming apps closing abruptly every 15-25 mins.. at first I thought it was just Pocket Casts but I actually switched to a different podcatcher app and it still happens. If it is streaming the media it will regularly stop completely and close the app but if the same file is downloaded first it will play all the way through. It also happens often with ESPN radio app and Google Music Beta. However the MLB @bat app can stream for hours unaffected.

I do use juice defender but the apps are set to "enable/screen off" so they shouldn't be touched at all, and I also disabled juice defender to see if it still occurred and it does. I do not have any task killers installed and I even frooze the one that comes with the phone.

Any idea what could be killing my streaming fun? I really love the Bionic and am generally happy and content knowing bug fixes are coming but this issue is really annoying and starting to make me a little Prime envy.
