Same problem encountered on my galexy 7, for streaming via bluetooth to my truck audio (via uconnect).

I turned off the bluetooth setting to auto detect nearby devices, and the issue went away!

Give it a try, hope this helps everyone.

Like many others, I have experienced the skipping issue, but only on my iPhone 7 - not my desktop - and only when it is in my pocket and moving - like at the gym.  Since people with different phones and different OS, different providers (AT&T for me) and living in different parts of the country, I wonder if it has anything to do with movement.

Someone posted a Spotify guide for installing/uninstalling on an Android device.  Anyone know where to find the same for IOS???

This is happening to me on ALL devices.

Samsung S6 (work phone)

Samsung Note 4 (personal phone)

Windows 10 (personal desktop)

Windows 10 (work tablet)

I have cleared all data from ALL of them, completely uninstalled, then reinstalled one at a time and issue persists.

I changed password and logged out of ALL devices.

Songs make it to about 15 - 40 seconds usually, then jump to next song. 

Playlist doesn't seem to matter. Any song will skip.

Did this.

Yeah, didn't work. If anything, the problem got worse

I have been experiencing this exact same issue for THREE MONTHS on my LG VS985 4G LTE phone. Spotify Support says to reinstall the app, but I have tried that 10 times. Spotify, please fix this issue soon!

I was trying out premium this month and this started happening today, first on windows 10 client then when I switched to my phone it started happneing on there. This is a huge distraction and I don't feel like putting in hours trying to fix it. I'm unsubbing from premium and trying something else.

I have Huawei Honor 8 Lite / Android and just recently sptoify has started skipping songs and pausing and replaying erradically. Everytime I put the phone in my pocket the skippidi skipiddidip **bleep** starts and when I get it out the screen is lit and the app is visible.

Edit: Well **bleep**, it was my headphones that were causing havoc. They died completely and I got new ones and there are no more problems. I would think it had something to do with the mic and some sort of a voice rec program going haywire together...meh!

I’m really annoyed about this issue to, I have an iPhone 6 and the songs are constantly skipping or pausing on there own. It’s nothing to do with earphones as I have tried playing with no earphones in. Please can anyone help me.
