Hi,
I've now got a response from Spotify on this. They say it is a known issue and they are working on a fix as a priority.
I also mentioned in my email response that the app seems to crash regularly and the login screen sometimes gets stuck. None of these issues occured in the preview version so I can't understand how it has gone so badly wrong!
Anyway, he said that a temporary workaround was to turn of the phone, remove the battery for 30secs, and try again. This did not work for me. He also asked if I had an 3rd party music players on my phone, which I don't as I have tried from a factory default phone.
All in all, the app is currently unusable until a fix is made, and so I'll have to use the preview version for the moment. It's all quite frustrating that we have this when the i-phone has had yet another update to include spotify radio!!
Hopefully we'll have a fix soon!!
I think that thread largely refers to a different issue so I've just contacted Spotify to ensure they have this issue logged. I'll update this thread if there's any news.
Same issue here on Xperia Neo V. Worked fine prior to this update, which was the first version of the official rewritten app out of preview. Listening to this thread.
EDIT 2012-06-25: After some sort of silent update (to my knowledge) this issue seems to be resolved on my phone, which would likely mean that this has now been fixed by Spotify.
Hi,
got a slightly similar problem.
While playing one of my playlists (which contains about 1500 sounds) I get the problem described above but like this:
- start playing a song
- next song starts normally.. After 30secs - 1:30 min it stops giving out sound
- song seems to play on (progress bar and time are moving on)
- Button "next song": Next song plays normal
- few songs later it happens again
- annoying
using a Motorola xoom 2 media edition (everything fine by using my defy+ )
Removing a battery of a tablet... no way 😄
I got an answer from Spotify today - they said:
If you head to Settings and change your streaming quality to Extreme, play a few songs and then turn it back to Normal quality then this should fix the issue.
Worked for me!
I have exactly the same issue. spotify does not play the next song if it is streamed (there is no sound, but progress bar shows progress). Downloaded playlists work for me. I also have uninstalled the app and reinstalled again. Taking out the battery does not make sense to me and cannot be the solution.....
Android 2.3.4 on LG Optimus 2X
Please, please fix this as soon as possible.
The app and so the payed account is then useless to me...
Turns out the fix I mentioned doesn't last more than an hour. I got back to Spotify and will post here if they provide a working solution.
