So... mystery sorta solved... Initially, ApplePlay was somehow shutting off my speaker on the phone. After I unpaired the phone and tried to play music on my phone, it had no sound. I had to reset my phone by turning it off and on again to make sure my phone still worked properly. I noticed it's the Pandora app that was tripping up. It took me awhile to somehow get the latest iOs update and with the latest Pandora updates, it all started to work again.
