Turning off phone and SMS

I stream the talk-radio to my phone and bluetooth is to a headset in my helmet while riding the Harley. I keep the phone on a charger in my saddle-bag. All goes well until I get a call. Even if I don't take the call, I never get my radio back unless I stop, shut down WonderRadio and restart it. That really sucks.
Sometimes the same happens with incoming text but not as bad.
I know the problem is really with WonderRadio but since I have no control over them, I would like to have a way to shut off the phone but still retain a data stream. Kind of like Airplane mode with data.
Is this possible?

dunno about GA, but in MI, its illegal to drive with headphones in both ears, no matter the vehicle.... I find this equally appauling given all the rights motorcycle riders beg for....

Riding a motorcycle is extremely dangerous due to lack of attention from fellow motorists, nice to know riders arent paying attention either and cant even hear me honk my horn due to wearing headphones...

Dont you think paying attention on the road, in an already dangerous/less safe mode of transportation, is more important instead of listening to the radio?? maybe next time that rider splattered on the pavement on the news could be you???

just be careful man!

Have you tried turning the ringer and notifications off? I think they hijack the audio, so perhaps turning them off will work
