Spotify Skips or Pauses Music

[whitefox109]

Hello!

I have recently just started having an issue with Spotify skipping during songs, pausing, or moving to the next song altogether. This issue is occuring on both my Android device and PlayStation 4.  These problems do not exist on my desktop.  I am not sure what could cause this issue; however, I have tried reinstalling the app on my phone with no results.  I have tried logging out and back in as well as simply restarting the app and still nothing.  The skipping occurs with both live streaming and downloaded playlists.  This is extremely frustrating, as I am a premium member and would like to keep getting my money's worth out of this service.  Any ideas?  

Phone:  Sony XperiaZ3

Service:  Verizon Wireless

Android Version: 4.4.4

Spotify Version:  3.5.0.963

***Also occuring while using Spotify Connect on PS4, or just using the app on the PS4 system***

Thanks!

Hi @whitefox109, welcome to the Spotify Community! Let's try to troubleshoot this issue with you.

First of all, please try a clean reinstallation. This can resolve many common issues.

If you're still having trouble after a reinstall, please let us know the following details:
1. Exact Device (e.g. Samsung Galaxy 4)
2. Exact operating system (e.g. 4.4.2)
3. Spotify app version installed (2.0.0)
4. What are you doing when the app skips/ stops/ crashes? Is it when it opens? When scrolling through tracks? When searching?
5. About how many playlists do you have?

If you could get back to us with those details it would be great. Thanks!

I get random pauses too. Im on a Samsung Galaxy S4, current Google Play version. I use Spotify mostly when I drive and just leave a playlist on, but recently it's been pausing a lot and even crashing, forcing me to take my eyes off the road to restart the playlist. This also seems to happen about 80% of the time after an advertisement for me. It's been like this for a few months

I got the same issue on my HTC One M7, running Android 5.0.2 HTC Sense 6.0. It started after the most recent update september 9th.
I've had the problem before which miraculously disappeared.
I tried your solution 'Sign out everywhere' but it didn't work. Any other ideas?

Thanks for your reply. However, it didn't work 😞 I didn't have any offline devices but did the reinstal. I thought it worked but it just started skipping tracks again 😞
