Hi,
So I have been using spotify for a little, but noticed something recently. Spotify keeps automatically starting on my Android (HTC M8) phone after I close out. While this may not be a huge issue for some people, it bothers me when apps autostart without my permission. I even tried using autorun Manager and it still starts up on its own. Anyone else notice this and have a work around? The only thing I have found that works is by going to my app manager, and force stopping it. This works until I use it again and then I have to go through the same process. I like the app so far, but thinking of looking for other music streaming apps if this keeps happening.
Thanks in advance.
Solved! Go to Solution.
I was referring to the fact that it is always running in the background (i.e. when I look at my running apps and services on my phone). I am not using the desktop app (I don't have it installed on my computer yet and my account is not synced to facebook or anything - as a matter of fact I don't even have facebook installed on my phone). However, when I go to the app list and force close it, it does not run anything at all in the background. I was just wondering if there was an easier way to accomplish this than having to go to the app list. I only ask because I noticed that after a while, it seems like it uses around 100mg of ram as a background service, which does not seem right.
This is a pretty lame "fix". Really!?!? I have to dig into the settings to kill a background process from keeping your app from starting itself unbidden...?
