Strange sounds when android plays music.

Strange sounds when android plays music.

Description

When I am streaming music on my android phone I get strange noises in the music. The sounds are almost like static but they are more electronic and closer to what dial-up used to sound like. This happens with and without headphones, and only on my phone, not in any of my other devices that use spotify such as my computer. The sounds cut in and out of the music randomly and my music even stop all together for a few seconds then continues to play music that is riddled with what sounds like radio interference.

 

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

(We need to know what you are doing so we can do the exact same to try and get the same error)

  1. First I Think I updated my the version of Spotify on my phone to 2.2.0.636
  2. Then I just open Spotify as I would normally.
  3. I would click on any song just as you normally would.
  4. I would let the app play music just as I normally would.

 

What I expected to happen

I expected the music to play without interference.
