I searched around the internet for awhile but wasn't able to find any solution to my issue (I found similar problems, but their solutions did not work for me).
I followed the uninstall/reinstall instructions on the [GUIDE] How to fix common issues for Spotify on Android thread with no luck.
Problem:
Spotify stops mid song when playing music, usually around a minute or 2 into a song (sometime sooner), so the first song does not even finish. This happens with both downloaded songs in offline mode, as well as steaming music.
What are the steps you took to get to the error/issue?:
First I load up spotify, chose a song to play, set my phone down, and in a minute or 2 the music sudenly stops.
Upon examaning my phone, the Spotify ap is still on, but the song is now "reset" back to the begining.
What I expected to happen:
Music to play uninterrupted. This issue first started a couple days ago, before I had zero problems with phone ap.
