Hi,
Whenever I unlock my phone in the morning, Spotify suddenly starts playing a random song - I have tried everything to stop this but without success. It is infuriating!I am prepared to abandon Spotify altogether if this can't be fixed. Grateful for any advice please.
I am on a Premium account.
The device is a Samsung Galaxy G20 Plus, running the latest Android 10.
Thanks.
Solved! Go to Solution.
AHHH I THINK I FIGURED OUT THE ISSUE!
So whenever id unlock my phone in the morning it would instantly play music.
I opened up Bixby earlier and it had a routine called "Good Morning "
When you get to it, it has "spotify playlists"
The song in the pic is the one that played every single morning. You can just turn off the routine!
I hope this helped at least someone else
Hey @Bilxthebroker
Thanks for reaching out about this here in the Community.
Since it could be a temporary error, would you mind trying each of the following steps?
Log out and back in.
Reinstall the app and restart your phone.
Note: After reinstalling, you'll need to redownload any music you've made available for offline listening.
We'll look out for your reply and be here to help with anything else as well!
Thanks Mario.
I have logged out and back in again. I am on V. 8.5.63.941 - is that the latest?
Hey @Bilxthebroker,
Thanks for keeping us in the loop.
Yes, V. 8.5.63.941 is the latest as of now 🙂
Did logging out and than back in do the trick?
Keep us posted. We'll be here!
Thanks Mario.
I don't know if this has worked yet because the problem only occurs on unlocking in the mornings! So please hold tight for a little while and I'll be sure to let you know.....thank you.
Hey @Bilxthebroker,
Thanks for your latest reply!
Sounds good. Keep us posted 🙂
My LG V30 has done this both times I was subscribed. It often does it when leaving a bluetooth device or Android Auto such as in my car. The next time I open up my phone the app starts blaring music for no good reason.
OK, so that didn't work. I have now uninstalled and reinstalled the app - will let you know if that works.
I know, it drives you nuts! I saw a suggestion somewhere that it might be a Google Assistant problem, so I delinked Spotify from there, but it made no difference.
Failed again. The bizarre thing is that it plays completely random songs that I would never listen to. This is just ridiculous (and often embarrassing!).
