Spotify App Keeps Pausing Iphone
Unfortunately, it looks like neither of these are the case. My phone (iPhone 6S+) has 20 GB free on it, and I have zero downloaded music on the Spotify app - everything is streamed. Additionally, I am already subscribed to Spotify Premium, so that can't be it either. Why Spotify only downloads songs with the app opened? I don't know if this is only happening to me, but, when I download my songs on Spotify, i have to let the phone unlocked and with the app opened, if i lock the phone or minimize the app, they just stop downloading, is this normal? Sorry about my english. I finally found the right solution, so if Spotify keeps pausing on you, here’s what to do. Go to Spotify.com and log in. On the Account Overview page, scroll down and click the “Sign Out Everywhere” button. This force signs you out of every instance of Spotify on all your devices. Open Spotify on your smartphone or computer and sign in again. A short tutorial on how to prevent Spotify music / audio from pausing / stopping on Android, iOS and PC.Leave a comment if you have any questions.Spotify:https. I have an iPhone 6 with the iOS 11.1 operating system and the 8.4.28.1104 Spotify version. When I play music from the Spotify app, it constantly pauses the song, skips the song or fast forward in the song. Siri also randomly turns on, but only when playing music on Spotify, and I.
Losing your music just straight up sucks. We've all had the experience of jamming out while running errands and then, all of a sudden—boom—your music app crashes and you're left alone, the silence deafening. There's a good chance your music app of choice is Spotify, considering it's got 286 million users, and if that's the case and you're experiencing a slight hiccup in service, check out this guide for tips on how to troubleshoot the app.
1. Log out and restart Spotify
Sometimes things can go wrong at startup. It happens with a lot of software or hardware, which is why 'turn it off and on again' is such a common problem-solving suggestion among techies.
First, log out of your Spotify account. Then exit by forcing the app closed — make sure it's not still running in the background. Depending on your phone, there are a couple ways to do this:
Android:
- At the bottom of the screen are three buttons often seen as three lines, a square, and a back arrow. Hit the leftmost button, the three lines, to open the recent applications menu. You can either tap 'close all' to force all the apps closed or scroll through to find and close only Spotify.
iPhone:
- Users with iPhone X or later models can get to their recent applications menu by swiping up from the lower part of the screen, then pausing in the middle. People with iPhone 8 or earlier models have to double-tap on the home button.
- When you're in the menu, swipe through the apps to find Spotify, tap and hold it, then slide it up to close it.
Once you've fully shut down the app, open it and log in again with your fingers crossed.
2. Check your internet connection
Spotify Premium users can save playlists for offline listening, but free users have to be connected to the internet at all times to get to their music. Most likely, if the network you're using goes out, then your device might automatically switch to using mobile data instead. The switch shouldn't cause any problems as you use Spotify, but be careful: The app can easily burn through any data allotment you have with your provider, which can get expensive if you get hit with overage charges.
If your device doesn't switch to mobile data, and your internet connection goes out, Spotify will basically become non-responsive. Your track list might be grayed out, the play button won't work, and there may be error messages that say you're offline.
The solution is to check your device's network connection by looking at the wifi symbol in the upper-right corner. If it looks like the connection is weak, usually indicated when the symbol displays only one or two bars, you might want to switch to a stronger network. If you're at home, you can try restarting the router to fix your connectivity issues.
3. No outages? Make sure the app is up to date
Server outages can happen very suddenly and without warning. Earlier this month, Spotify was one of many apps that crashed due to Facebook tweaking something with their developer kit (that many apps rely on). In a case like this, it's not you or your device's fault when Spotify isn't working, and there's nothing users can do until the problem is fixed. To check for an outage, go to Downdetector or Spotify's official status Twitter to see what's going on.
If it's not an outage, make sure the Spotify app is updated to its latest version. Google Play and the App Store will both have an 'update' button if you want to make the app update as soon as possible. Otherwise, the update could be scheduled for a later time, rendering the app unusable until then.
4. Uninstall for a clean start
If Spotify still isn't working, it's time to let your anger flow and dump the app into the trash. Delete the app by holding down on the Spotify icon and pressing 'delete' or 'uninstall' to get rid of it. Then, reinstall the app from its store page.
Sometimes, this fresh reinstall can solve the problem.
/spotify-top-50-global-download.html. It won’t work if you input a Spotify track link.
5. Hey, are your earbuds working right?
What if Spotify is working now, but you're still not getting any sound? It's time for an earbuds and headphones check. Is the cord pushed into the headphone jack all the way? Are your wireless earbuds charged and connected to your phone through Bluetooth properly?
If Spotify is working on your computer but not on your phone, then you might have to take your mobile device out to get repaired. Hopefully, your problems will be one of the more easily solved ones above, and you won't have to splurge for another phone or a pricey speaker fix.
You’ve probably faced it. You download an app, open it and *bam* – there it goes! Crashed. I’ve heard people talk about how Facebook or Instagram or Skype or any other app crashes when they open it. There are a ton of reasons things could go wrong and cause the app to crash and it would be wrong to immediately assume that the app is buggy (without, of course, discounting that possibility).
Rick once wrote an interesting post on how most of the app-crashes can be fixed just by doing one single soft reset. Although this does work most of the times, it isn’t an end-all solution. He doesn’t say so himself but let’s also take a look at other possibilities that can help you get rid of the issue.
Apps Crashing on iPhone or iPad: Tips to Fix the Issue
#1. Soft Reset
The first thing you do when you find that an iPhone app keeps crashing is a “soft reset.” What this basically does is clears the memory by killing apps and gives you a head start. This is what you do to do a soft reset:
- Press the home and power buttons simultaneously
- The slide to turn off the iPhone comes up but do nothing but hold the buttons down
- The iPhone powers down with the screen going blank. Keep holding the buttons still and then the iPhone reboots with the Apple logo coming up on the screen
- In order to reboot iPhone 7/7 Plus, press and hold volume down button and power button
- And To restart your iPhone 8, 8 Plus, X or later, click and release Volume Up button then click and release volume down button, and then press and hold side button
That’s it. Now try out the new app that kept crashing before. In most cases, your problem is solved.
#2. Re-install App from Mac/PC
I can’t say the first solution works all the time. Sometimes, iPhone apps keep crashing when opened or used. What do you do then?
You delete the app and re-install it. Albeit, this time, you install it via iTunes and then transfer that to your iPhone/iPad by syncing it. Not exactly a great method to take on but if nothing helps, you’ve got to try this.
- Delete the app from your iDevice
- Find the app in iTunes (in your Purchase History preferably.)
- Connect the iPhone or iPad to your computer
- Sync the iOS device: let the app get installed
- Disconnect after the sync
- Restart your iOS device and try the app
#3. Clear Memory
You don’t know how many times this happens. People stuff the iPhone with a ton of songs and videos (and even apps) and quite a lot of apps keep running in the background. This eats up a lot of memory (not to forget, the battery too).
And then when you try to open and run an app, it struggles to get some breathing space with all the choking apps running in the background along with it. So the iPhone puts the app out of its misery and crashes it.
You’ll need to do two things to clear things up.
- Double-press the home button to bring up the multi-task switching bar and then close all apps that are running in the background by swiping up each app. After this, try the app
- If it’s a storage issue, try removing a bunch of songs that you usually skip whenever it comes up on the playlist. Or a bunch of videos that you’ve not seen in ages. This will free up some space that can turn out to be helpful for the app not to crash
#4. Go Thermonuclear
Eerie as it sounds, you might need to go thermonuclear and restore your device from a backup or as a new iPhone if the problems keep creeping up. Restoring is the last option but wait! If you feel that the app could be the problem (and not your iPhone), you can save yourself the pains of this last step.
There are over 1.2 million apps on the App Store but not every one of them is Gmail, Angry Birds or Spotify. A lot – and I mean a really huge lot – of them are buggy, problematic and ill-developed and designed. If none of the above three methods worked and you have a hunch that the problem lies with the app, you should probably just delete it and look for an alternative.
That’s all, mate!
