[Germs26]

Hi! 

Im a premium user and using OPPO phone running Android 7.1.1 .

spotify music intermittently stops playing music and i have to manually go into there app to click 'play'. 

Tried uninstalling and installing, still couldnt get it to work. 

Anyone has encountered this before? 

Thank you!

Hey @Germs26, welcome to the Spotify Community!

We'd recommend giving it a go from a different device to check if you have the same issue. Also, restarting your phone might help you out.

Take care 🙂

Hi, thank you for replying, I tried to listen on my iPad.
Seems to be okay. But not sure why on android has this issue.

Hi Everyone, 

I found a solution. Posting this here: it was caused by my phone's smart battery saver mode. 

I had enabled it, but it has an 'intelligent mode' to clear all background running apps, this includes Spotify, thus, explaining why it plays half way. 

I turned it off and my Spotify is playing normally now. 

Thank you ! 🙂
