Spotify Audio cuts out during workout on Gear S3

[MonkeyMagik]

I'm not sure whether this is a Samsung bug or a Spotify one, but it's **bleep** annoying. I have a Gear S3 with a playlist downloaded to it with some bluetooth headphones connected to the watch.

If I start a workout using the inbuilt Samsung Health program, it initially seems to work. Music controls for Spotify are available in the app and the audio feedback for the fitness app works seemlessly. But then the music just cuts out and I can't start it again until I close all apps and start again (annoying in the middle of a run). I might get 1 KM or 2 KM into the run, once it even lasted until the last couple 100 metres. But it never works all the way through if I use Spotify and Samsung Health on the watch at the same time.

Hi, I seem to have the same problem, I think. Did you try to turn off the "audio summaries" every 5 minutes or 1km in the samsung health app? This used to pause spotify and tell me how long and far I've run, but sometimes spotify will not continue playing.

- after the 4th health interrupt spotify is notz comming back (while the bt headset is still connected)

I ended up giving up and just listening to Spitify through my phone and not worrying about the audio feedback.
