I am paying for premium, recently upgraded the the samsung note 8. Spotify has become unusable and is ruining my life. I have tried everything on the community boards and it actually feels like its getting worse.

Spotify will 'assume control' of my whole phone and will start skipping songs, pausing songs, playing songs until i just give up and let it run its course. Shutting down the app doesnt do anything it just continues to do so even when the app is not open. It makes my whole phone just unusable and im 6 months into a 2 year contract. I would prefer not to cancel my subscription, cos music is life and without spotify i am lost, so am really hoping theres a fix. 

I have disabled the power saving stuff that is built into the phone, have taken all premissions away, have tried uninstalling etc. Nothing works. 

Please help
