Lag/stuttering when display is turned off (Android-Samsung S6 Edge)

[Hanneshelperin]

The music plays flawlessly when the display is on... But as soon as I turn the display off, the spotify music starts to lag/stutter. This occurs when connected to Wifi as well as 4G, the internet-type doesn't matter. All my songs are downloaded to my unit (so I can listen offline as well as with a connection). 

I have tried to erase the spotify app + data (not the solution).

Does anyone have a clue regarding what to do?

Having the exact same problem, also with a Samsung galaxy s6 Edge. Glad to hear I'm not the only one experiencing this. However I hope they have a solution for us.

Yes indeed. We are paying for premium, therefore,  a fix for this is crucial, or else they may lose customers... Hope that someone can solve it!!!

This was a perfect fix for a problem that's been annoying for like two weeks. Thank you very much Joe!
