Heya, having some trouble with spotify, Hope someone can help, details are below.
Thanks
Aimee
Please describe the problem:
When listening to music (either downloaded or streaming) on my Galaxy S2, the current playing track section at the bottom of the app dissapears(the bit with the play/pause button), so I have no way to pause or skip to next track. When this happens the quick play section(not sure of this features real name) in the settings drop down at top of phone also dissapears and also missing from the lock screen.
What are the steps you took to get to the error/issue?
Essentially all I do everyday is the following, however I cannot deliberately force this issue to occur.
1. restart phone
2. open spotify, start playing some music
3. minimise app by pressing home key
3.a. The quick play thing appears in settings drop down.
4. let screen go to sleep and lock.
5. unlock phone
6. reopen spotify by pressing spotify icon on home screen to open app.
6.a. Now the current playing track thing is gone and the quick play thing does not reappear in the
Troubleshooting steps
- cleared cache
- restarted phone
- recently (maybe 1 version ago) I uninstalled, cleared everything and reinstalled spotify to get my downloaded music onto an ext. SD card.
What I expected to happen:
The current playing track thing stays at bottom of screen and the quick play thing appears when the app is minimised.
