I'm running the latest Android app (4.0.0.800) on a LG L40 (GSM) with Android 4.4.2.

I always stream my Spotify music (premium account) with my wifi at home which is very stable.

After more than one year with no problems since a few weeks Spotify is frequently stopping playback for no apparent reason.

Sometimes it plays for 10 songs, sometimes 4 or only for a few seconds, it's just random. The interruption of the music stream is somewhere in a track (only sometimes at the end).

By tapping the play-Button, the interrupted song continues.

This is frustrating and annoying. It's making the Spotify app unusable. Of course I have re-installed the app several times. But with no success.

All other apps or laptops that use wifi connection don't stop working during the Spotify failure.

When using the desktop version of Spotify on a laptop there are no failures at all. Also I tried another old smartphone of mine with Android 2.2.2 and therefore with an old Spotify app (0.6): this works with no problem at all! But this is no solution for me.

Is anyone else seeing this behaviour?

What might be a solution?
