Android App Skips Songs

Test2 — Wed, 20 Feb 2013 16:04:25 GMT

Hi,

I have installed Spotify 0.5.8.27 version on HTC One X+. For offline playlist after about 20 minutes (the time changes everytime) the app goes crazy! It does one or many of below mentioned:

1) It skipps songs continuously, until reaches end of playlist

2) Keeps on going back to the start of the song that was being played

3) Activates google voice

4) Dials out last number from the call history

I am paying member of Spotify and using the app to train for marathon. It is impacting my training as it is annoying to get stuck with these problems whilst running.

I saw many posts on the community with similar problem though there is no solution nor any response from @SpotifyCommnityManager as to what is being done for this problem!

Surely everyone deserves explaination to the problem and when it is likely to be resolved!!!

Spotify get your act together!!

Curious that this only happens with a headset. If this is one with a built-in mic, it is almost as if the app is simulating headset button presses. I'd suggest sending in a contact form.

That's exactly right. I've tried with with a headset that does not have a built-in microphone and it does not exhibit any of the odd behaviour. I would of course rather use the one with built-in mic as the soud quality is better, and convenient to answer phone calls. I wonder if other people that experienced that issue were also using headsets with built-in Mics.

I'll send in a contact form

Thanks!

I have a Samsung Galaxy II and it started skipping downloaded tracks ( I was playing in offline mode) some tracks played nearly all the way then other jumped after a few bars, it was all over the place. I thought it was some shuffle mode gone wrong. The same playlist had played fine before and with the same headphones ( they do have a built in Mic also). It is really annoying so I may use the iPhone version of Spotify if this does not get fixed ( maybe apple are paying for this ;-/ ). Basically the developers need to test it properly before releasing and headphones should not cause any issues. I played the same playlist again tonight in the arm chair, so perhaps it has something to do with motion ?

The other possibility is that the headset or the connection is faulty. You can check that by seeing if you get track skipping using the built-in music app.

Go into your settings on spotify and scroll down until you find the delete cache and saved data. It will delete everything in the app other than the app itself but it will fix the problem. Worked for me! Using a note 3.

I have a LG V10 and used to have an LG G3 and had this problem before. I don't want to have to start over with my Family Services and use a new password as I did before and it screwed up my Family's Accounts. It seems to only skip when I'm offline. What can be done to stop this from happening?
