My Question or Issue

Since updating while driving I can not use my steering wheel controls to change a song. I tried activating permissions again and it did not fix it. When the phone is unlocked though it works perfectly fine

Had the same issue with my S9+

Able to resolve the isseue by uninstalling the app, restart the device, and reinstall Spotify on the device.

Works fine now. I also disabled the default Car view, and Waze navigation from the settings.

For some reasone these settings freezing up the App on Samsung S9+

Another solution is to disable Samsung's built-in power optimization feature.

Open settings and navigate to Apps>Spotify>Battery>Optimize battery usage. Now choose view all apps and locate Spotify and disable it.

This solution worked for Galaxy S10+ running latest Android 9.0
