Random pausing both streaming and downloaded songs on Android (driving me CRAZY)

AAARRRRGGGHHH!

For about two months now, I cannot go ONE SONG without Spotify pausing the song I am listening to - for no reason.

I have used Spotify for years now on my EVO 4G and EVO 4G LTE. Back in late December, this has really become an issue.

First song after I start the app? PAUSE.

Next song? PAUSE.

Downloaded song? PAUSE.

Streaming song? PAUSE.

Uninstall and reinstall app? PAUSE.

This problem doesn't happen in Songza, Google Music or Beats.

What is going on??? I LOVE Spotify. Always have. I have been a Premium member for two years.. but if this can't be resolved,

I may have to leave until it somehow gets resolved. It is driving me nuts.

Any thoughts? Thanks in advance!

This does appear to be a known bug with the Spotify app on android. Some people have reported uninstalling all other music apps can solve the issue for whatever reason.

I will try anything - if it means uninstalling Songza, I think I can live with that! 🙂

I have tried Beats, and it doesn't hold a candle to Spotify. Neither does Google Music.

Why you need to uninstall another music program to make Spotify work? This way Spotify want to get 100% popularity?

For me it pauses for second or two at end of song and then continues. I even contacted my mobile teleoperator and have double-checked that coverage in my little city is very strong almost everywhere. Once again, the same problem after re-install or even in 100M/5M cable modem Wifi (stable connection to Internet). I have in my mobile phone 2M/0.5M Unlimited mobile internet. I can tell this should be enough to stream song from Spotify withut problems! So it's a bug.

The whole Spotify is one bug. I'm so sorry!
