SGS3 freezes once or twice a day since I installed Spotify

SGS3 freezes once or twice a day since I installed Spotify

My SGS3 has been as reliable as one can expect any smart phone to be for the last 18 months.

 

For the first time I installed Spotify, just two days ago, and since then the phone has totally frozen five or six times.

Even though Spotify has not been running at the time, this seems to be more than just a coincidence ... the first time was within 30 minutes of installing.

Ouch. You're not running low on system memory following the installation are you? That can cause the issues you're seeing.

Other apps that are rather demanding have no problems running (Sygic SatNav), so I doubt that the system memory is the problem in this case.

I'd be happier if it was only happening when Spotify was active ... at least it could be more directly attributable to the app. But it has only happened when Spotify has not been running ... but, equally, it's only since it was installed that this problem has been occurring.
