Gear S3 - Tizen 3.0 - No way to permanently stop playback

[jamieb122]

In its current state, Spotify on Gear S3 after the Tizen 3.0 update is unusable: You can listen to and play music but when you close the app (using the "recent apps" button to close the application).  If you are done listening to music, and decide to make a phone call, use S. Voice or anything that requires the speaker, spotify will start to autoplay after the call is over.  This can literally be 6 hours after you have closed spotify.  

Example scenario: I went for a run yesterday morning.  Around 4 hours later I made a phone call using my watch.  After the call hung up, spotify started blaring the song out of my watch speaker while at work.  The *only* way to stop the playback is to uninstall the app.  There needs to be a way of stopping (not just pausing) music so it does not autoplay *every* time you use the watch speaker for anything.

How long can it take to fix this!? Seriously there hasn't been any update since november 2017. Shouldn't be that hard..

Hey folks,

We just wanted to let you know that the right folks are aware of this, and taking a look.

Right now, we're not able to provide an exact timeline for a fix, but we'd recommend always keeping your Spotify app up-to-date to ensure you're on the latest and best version.

We'll continue to keep you posted here with any updates.

Many thanks for your patience, and understanding.

Has this been resolved yet? I just got the s3 frontier and I am having this issue. Any fix?? THX

Any further update with regards to a software fix for this embarrassing and game-changing bug?

Having the same problem here almost half a year after the issue was first reported. If I have Spotify installed on my watch (Gear s3) and have it in streaming mode I find that after using s-voice for anything eg: asking the time Spotify will start playing music from the last point it was paused. This happens on all three Spotify accounts I have tried. I have reset the watch, restarted the watch and reinstalled the app all of which has had no effect. Hopefully this problem can be resolved asap as it has gone off after accidentally activating s-voice in class multiple times which has been more then embarrassing.

Hi

Is there any update on this bug? I joined Spotify premium mostly for the sake of the gear S3 app and now it seems as if I'll need to uninstall the app .
