Spotify closes instantly when I launch it

dries863 — Sun, 04 Mar 2012 18:53:47 GMT

Spotify was working perfectly in offline mode. When I disabled "Force offline" Spotify kept crashing when when Istarted the app.

I've completely removed Spotify and reinstalled. Now it instantly closes (no error message) when I launch the app.

I'm using a Galaxy Nexus with the 4.0.2 stock rom.

What's wrong?

Thanks

What's wrong is that Spotify doesn't officially support Android 3 or 4. Shame huh?

See this thread in the ideas forum: https://community.spotify.com/t5/Spotify-Ideas-and-Feedback/Spotify-needs-to-support-Android-3-Honeycomb-Android-4-Ice-Cream/idi-p/715

In the short term you can try uninstalling and reinstalling again, or clearing the cache, or wiping the Spotify folder from the SD card - these things usually allow you to use the app again for a while, but until they update the app properly we're going to keep getting these issues

This can't be true. Are you kidding me? Is the whole dev team sleeping?

I just got a new phone and I can't get it to even open. It acts like its installed correctly but does nothing, on a comical note the Spoget app works fine.

Have a Galaxy S2 - since I updated to 4.0.3 I've had this problem - Being forced to use offline mode and with only my current playlists Spotify is much less useful...
