Spotify has stopped working on my Android

Solved!

Spotify has stopped working on my Android

Hello,

 

For about a week i haven't been able to listen to Spotify on my mobile (Samsung Galaxy S Advance. Spotify Premium). It has previously worked without any problems. When i listen to a track it stops itself just before the end of the track and then automatically logs out.This happens every time i try.  I can't download any playlists either. It says no internet connection even though I'm connected to wifi and everything else is working fine on the phone. I have tried it on my phonenetwork as well but the same problem there.

 

I have tried to unistall/reinstall twice but no change. In fact after the second time I reinstalled it it started the automatic logout. Before I was always logged in. My son has a Samsung Galaxy Gio and the last couple of days he has had the same problem on his phone. We share the account.

 

Help me please! This is driving me crazy.

 

Thank you in advance, Helle

Hi. Could you try this:

 

Uninstall spotify

Remove the external SD card

Redownload spotify

Listen to or download some music

Reinsert the SD card (spotify won't be able to use it at the moment so the cache will be in internal storage)

Hey! Welcome to the community 🙂 

 

Digging up an old post about the blank screen issue:

Yep, devices that have an SD card slot, and use that SD card as their main memory, need to have an SD card inserted before the app will work.

It's confused due to the fact that some devices don't have SD card slots at all (they have built in memory and it's not expandable) and some others do have slots but also have internal memory they use as the main memory store.

 

Does your device have an SD card slot which is empty?

I am having problems signing in all of a sudden. I open Spotify, and it takes me to the have it get spotify screen. I click I already have spotify, and get taken to a log in screen. I click use my Facebook account. It briefly flashes ny playlists, then takes me back to a login screen. This time it's just for spotify account login. I tried forgot my password link, but it says I'm setup to use my Facebook account. Can't get past it and it is pissing me off!! I had no problems yesterday. I've not made any changes, so don't know why I'm having trouble all of a sudden. Help!

Hi, mine has been the same for a few days now, I really need it tomorrow as I'm on a long trip but looks like that's out of the question.

 

It hasn't been great for some time, downloaded playlists keep undownloading themselves but now it's completely unuseable.

 

My SD slot is full so it can't be that.

I've been having the same problem. I noticed that if I put the app into offline mode that the songs that I have downloaded play fine, but when I turn off the offline mode it stops just before the end of any song I choose.  I tried turning off facebook posting, sharing, and gapless playback, and it does exactly the same thing.  Stops about 90% through a song and logs out and back in.  On a HTC Amaze, with a SD card in the slot.

I am having same issue. I signed up for 30 day premium trial. It worked this am but not now. I can't even access radio. It says I need premium acct. Help

Have any of you tried a clean reinstallation today? Please give that a go to ensure you're on our latest update.

 

Let me know how that works for you. 

I'm also having problems, it was ok until the new version came out , 

I have a moto e running android 4.4.2
