Android phone randomly takes over stream

ackmanx — Tue, 28 Mar 2017 03:04:32 GMT

Sometimes when I'm listening to music it stops and then says "Playing on Samsung Galaxy S7". The thing is, neither my wife nor I even opened Spotify. This has happened while I'm at work listening to music and she is sleeping, then woken up by angry music suddenly blasting from her phone.

A moment ago it happened again but she is at work with the phone in a locker during her shift.

Unfortunately this is an intermittent problem, so there's no steps to reproduce.

Computer: macOS Sierra using Spotify 1.0.48.103.g15edf1ec

Problem phone: Android 7, Samsung Galxaxy S7

Type of account: Premium

This happened to me today, too...I was forced to listen to some iPhone user on my Android phone (so this is happening across multiple types of devices), even after I clicked to listen on my own device. Now, my library is gone, replaced with his, and even uninstalling the app hasn't fixed it...

Part of this stupid "connect" feature they force upon us.

But when I actually did something last night I wanted my Android to pick up, i.e. refreshed a playlist with new songs, Android remained totally oblivious to this until this morning when I had to specifically open Spotify and open the playlist itself.

It is OBVIOUS that when a user changes a PLAYLIST they expect that to apply across all devices.
