Can no longer navigate mid song

[TravisB86]

After the recent update the now playing screen is completely different.  I can no longer slide around during a song, you can only start over again.  If you are working on a performance piece and need to replay a portion of a song without starting completely over again this is basically impossible now.

Help?

Hey, thanks for reaching out.

I know it sounds simple, but it's often overlooked. Could you try restarting your device? If that doesn't help, try a quick clean reinstallation of the app. Just follow the steps here. Try to disable bluetooth or disconnect from any device that is connected via bluetooth and see if that helps 🙂

If you're still having trouble, could you let me know the exact version of Spotify and the exact version of the operating system you're running?

I'll see what I can suggest!

Turning off Bluetooth fixes this but I'm trying to use it with a bluetooth device that does not have any control besides previous and next.  Is there no way to disable this new Bluetooth interface while still using a Bluetooth device?

Hey @TravisB86,

It is the CarPlay UI.

Try renaming this bluetooth device you are tyring to connect to.

Let me know how it goes 🙂

Hmmmm... My device name appears to be hardcoded by the manufacturer.  I guess I'll try and pursue some device hacks for my car stereo?
