Device

Motorola x4 - brand new

12 gb free internal 60+ gb free sd

Operating System

Android Oreo - updated to latest

What I've tried:

Deleting cache, deleting data, deleting both, deleting them in different order

Clean Re-install

Formatted SD card both with my CPU and phone

Deleting all files before Re-install

Restarting phone between all previous tasks

Ensuring all permission granted after install before use and logging in

Deleting all devices on Spotify.com that can use data offline

Installing an app that fills the internal memory only leaving 1 or 2 gigs of storage (i've tried leaving different amounts in internal storage)

Scouring the internet for possible fixes and seeing tons of other people with the same problem....

I've been able to get the phone to do clean install and it will automatically try to store to SD card, but then at some point will just freeze, then when I restart, no songs have been downloaded and there is no option to choose SD card as storage point.

I've been working on this problem for days....

I had so many problems just like this with my LG G3, I had to root it so I could put the APK on the SD card and finally got around this, but don't want to have to root my new device just to get Spotify to work!

Anyone have any new suggestions?
