All I'm getting on my HTC One with this latest Spotify update is a blank white screen. Nothing will load in, nothing in the menu. This suxxxxx!

I'm having the same problem with my LG Smart Phone.  Spotify won't load and when it does load it won't load my locally stored playlists and when it does load my locally stored playlists there are no tracks in them.  I haven't been able to get this to work all morning.  Wish I could just undo this and go back to the revious previous version which worked perfectly.  This is unbelievably awful.

Support told me to completely re-install, losing all my synced tracks... so I did. Then re-synced everything. Then it all worked ok this morning. But when trying to resume Spotify later after work, it would't load all the way, and then after trying to restart it I'm back to the blank white screen problem.

Going to go see if I can dig up a previous version of the app to install since this current one has a major problem corrupting itself.

For the clandestine subscribers of Spotify, living in a country where it's not yet launched, someone could upload the apk somewhere? Thanks

Ever sinc I've donwloaded the most recent version of the app to my Sansung Galaxy Nexus, the app has been extremely buggy. Every single time I play music from my phone, about half way through the second song, the music stops playing.  The pause button still appears as if it is playing, but no sound comes from the speakers. I've tried hitting pause and play but to no avail. The only thing that works is going into the app manager --> Spotify, and force stopping the app.  But then the same problem repeats immediately afterwards.

I also cannot download the music list to my phone b/c I'm told I have music downloaded to 3 devies already, but I can't for the life of me figure out what the 3rd device is.  Why don't you guys show us which devices we have music synced to somewhere and allow us to edit this info?

Finally, an annoyance, but it doesn't impair my app usage at least - is that the app seems incapable (or at least very slow at) remembering my logged in state.  When I first open the app, I see the log in screen every time.  Sometimes it forces me to log in, even though I never logged out, and sometimes, I try tapping on log in and start entering info, when the app finally registers I'm logged in and loads.

I have the app installed on an iPhone as well, and it seems to work fine there, but I primarlily use the Android phone, and am considering canceling my account with the issues I've been facing.  What's the point of updating the features and functionality and including landscape mode if I can't even listen to music at all anymore.  Very disappointed. I used to use this app constantly throughout the day.

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

1. I've tried uninstalling and re-installing the app more than once.

2. I've force killed the app many times.

3. I've updated the version of the app each time an update was available.

4. I've tried on 2 IOS devices - an iphone 5 and an ipod touch without issue

5. I've tried unsyncing and resyncing music from the device.

Not really. I could post one of the log in screen, but it wouldn't demonstrate the problem I'm having with the lag. Posting a photo that shows the it's playing would demonstrate that there's no music.
