Posting here because I'm not sure if this is a Spotify issue or GS8 issue... but basically I've been having a bunch of annoyances with Spotify that seemed to start a couple of months ago:
These *might* all be Spotify bugs because Google Play Music has none of these issues. But it seems odd that they've all sort of cropped up around the same time, so I thought I'd post here first since I'm certain there are many other GS8 users of Spotify.
Needless to say, I would have dropped Spotify for Google Play long ago, but unfortunately it's the only major player that supports my wireless Samsung speakers.
So... Anyone else have these same issues?
Thanks.
- Music skips (almost like a scratched CD) out of nowhere. Happens regardless of if I'm on Wifi, and temporarily resolves by turning the screen on.
- Player controls on the lock screen randomly disappear (i.e. where you can see the playing song and skip/pause without unlocking the phone). Causes me to have to unlock the phone and open Spotify.
- Possibly related to above: Whenever I'm listening on a wifi or Bluetooth speaker and the lock screen controls decide to disappear--and then I unlock and open Spotify--Spotify has lost track of the playing song (i.e. the speakers are still playing what they were playing but that's not the song Spotify shows).
- When I'm playing music in my car via Bluetooth, the song that my car shows isn't what's playing (i.e. it may be a song from earlier in the playlist). Changing tracks doesn't update it.
- When I turn my car on, Spotify fails to start playing (it used to auto-play upon connecting, which is what I want)
- When I turn my car off and the phone disconnects from Bluetooth, Spotify will start playing the song from the speaker (instead of auto-stopping when Bluetooth like it used to, which is what I want)
- When I turn my car on and Bluetooth reconnects, even when I do open Spotify manually (which I shouldn't have to), it loses track of the playlist I was on (i.e. I can't find a play button anywhere). I have to go find the playlist I was on and restart it.
