[Android] I play a song but no music can be heard

[DS144]

Good morning. I have a premium account. And today when I wanted to listen to a song I clicked on it, waited and no music came out but the song in the bar was still running. So I clicked on another song and the same thing happened. So I sped the song up and music could be heard. But when I tried speeding it up again you couldn't hear it. This is all in my phone, I'm not using bluetooth sprakers or anything. I really don't know what's wrong. It worked fine yesterday and I didn't change the settings between yesterday and today. Also I tried restarting my phone. And deleting the app and reinstalling it again but nothing! Please help I would like to fix this since it is quite troublesome.

My music keeps stopping. I have it casting to my Google home speakers. It stops playing music without any message only to find out my phone is the device that it switched to. I have not done any troubleshooting since this is a new device and that won't apply. It has happened on my old device and done plenty of troubleshooting then with my network and speakers in casting to

Hi, i had a similar issue as described in this topic which i posted here:

Right now it seems i was able to solve the issue by deleting and reinstalling the app, by follwing the exact steps linked in the pinned status update. This included deleting the file com.spotify.music from my external SD card where i stored downloaded/offline music from Spotify.

Hey @jmuellerbonn, 

Thanks for providing us with the requested info. We've passed it on to the right folks.

Try uploading the video recording you've made and let us know if it doesn't work. 

Thanks!

Hey @jmuellerbonn,

Just as a follow-up to @Ivan's question, would you mind also letting us know if you have any devices connected (either via Bluetooth or Connect) when this issue occurs?

Once we have that info and the screen recording, we'll pass it on to the team investigating this.

Cheers!

Hello all,
no, I have tried both with Bluetooth connections and without, with Headphones plugged in and without, the problem still persists.

I also have an Android tablet (Samsung) that runs Spotify with the same account without any problems. It also works perfectly on my laptop.

Video upload: when I click the above button, I can only insert a Youtube link... can I upload the video in another way?

[jmuellerbonn]

hi all,

thanks for the quick responses!

By the way, I was able to upload the video in another thread:

Maybe that helps.

Thx.
