White screen and force close on startup, Galaxy S (original)

[RCaseyDavis]

I just did a factory reset and a SD card format on my Samsung Galaxy S (2.2 froyo). I downloaded Spotify from Google Play and when I try to start it I get:

1. White screen followed by vibration

2. Two short vibrations

3. Error message "The application Spotify (process com.spotify.mobile.android.ui) has stopped unexpectedly"

I have done multiple reinstalls with clearing cache, nothing helps! Anyone else?

I've seen this exact question elsewhere, but it was answered by a real joker who just said to uninstall Spotify, which I am not about to do. Please provide actual advice on how to resolve problem ASAP.

I filled out the troubleshooting template, hopefully this will help.

Exact same problem, the only difference is I have 2.9 GB left on my SD card. Problem started with most recent update.

Hi guys,

Thank you!!

I have the same problem on the Galaxy Ace Plus running Android 2.3.6 Gingerbread. The app will open, but when I try to re-enter the app (after a while) it will come up with a white screen, and will tell me that application Spotify (in process....) is not responding. I have to force close the app, then go back in on it (which means I have then lost my current playing music). Help is appreciated as I will not buy any more subscription time if the issue isn't fixed. Thanks

What version of Spotify are you running? (in settings/info)

Also having the same problem since last night on my

Samsung Infuse 4g running Froyo 2.2.1

Was working just fine the day before...no changes made to the phone

unless it is the latest update that is causing it.
