Spotify doesn't respond after I click the play button

[user-removed]

Description

Not expecting trouble, I want to tune in some music (via 4G, not wifi). So I grab my phone, open Spotify, click play. The song plays for about 30 seconds, and then it stops. The progress bar (or what it's called) is at 0s. So I click play again. Same thing happens. Sometimes the song just restarts but in most cases it just stops.

So I try doing anything and find out that after I click play, the app just ceases to listen to me. Pause, next song, previous song - not working. I can search through my playlists and saved music but when I tap a track's name, nothing happens.

More on the subject: when I play a song (30 seconds of it I should say) and minimize the app, no icon appears at the notification bar (a Spotify icon should).

This happens for the third time. Two first solutions:

1. I reseted the device to factory settings. It worked but it happened 3 weeks ago - doing it again (and again and again in the future) seems counterproductive.

2. I cleared the notification bar from all notifications and then I uninstalled two apps: Twilight (by Urbanoid - it has a built in notification icon, so I thought there might be a conflict) and Snoopify (by Snoop Dogg - it doesn't make sense but I had installed it a few days before the problem first occured).

Both solutions did the trick. I don't want to redo the first one and I can't redo the second one (the apps are already gone).

What are the steps you took to get to the error/issue?

I woke up. That's basically it because this happened to me 3 times early in the morning after listening to music before falling asleep.

What I expected to happen

Well, I just want the music to play.

I recommend you contact Spotify Support using the form here.

You will get an automated reply at first, however if you need to chase them just reply to the email as it does get monitored.
