Android app stops and starts randomly

Android app stops and starts randomly

With the new update for android: 6.9.0.1212 armV7, the app randomly stops and starts in the middle of songs. The frequency of the stopping and starting varies from 3-4 times per song, to every other song. The app stops, pauses for 1/4-3 seconds, and then resumes playing. As you can imagine, it's a real pain.

Anyone else experiencing these problems?

@dgusland hey there, sorry to hear you're having playback issues,

 

cleanly re-installing the application may help.

 

to re-install on android cleanly:

- Go to System Settings

- Go to "Apps".

- Find Spotify.

- Select "Force Close".

- Select "Clear cache" if it's not greyed out.

- Select "Uninstall" and remove the app.

- If you can, remove the battery, then power back on.

- Using a file manager on your phone or with your USB cable and your computer, go to Internal Storage > Android > Data and delete a folder called com.spotify.mobile.android.ui

- Reinstall Spotify from Google Play.

 

let me know how you go!

Yes I'm having same problems.  Stops then starts in middle of song, then stops briefly then starts again.  Please give me a solution.  Have changed streaming from high quality to standard then back again - no difference.  I need a solution please.
