Spotify Issues (N4) - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone
Is anyone else having problems with Spotify on their Nexus 4? On mine, certain songs will start very loudly deafening me if I am wearing headphones, before going back to the set volume. The only fix that I have found is to install a previous version of spotify.
However, that still does not fix my streaming problems, as while streaming to Bluetooth speakers, the wifi turns itself off and on again every now and then, stopping my streaming!
Am I the only one with these problems or are they more widespread?

Audio stops randomly

I'm not sure if this has been hit upon or not as a search didn't turn up anything, but when listening to audio, it will stop at random times. Every app I have tried does it (music, listen, doggcatcher, pandora, slacker). Anyone else have this problem? Next time it does it I will try to look at logcat and see if anything unusual is there.

If you are talking about streaming music, it could very well be a network connectivity issue.
I'd try listening to some MP3s that are stored on the phone (no streaming). If you still have intermittent sounds, then you should probably look into getting an exchange.
yeah I have also had this problem with playing mp3s and I have tried a few different music players.
yeah i have had this problemo too...thought it was just the track, but i guess it is the phone. and it was an mp3 not streaming from pandora or anything like that.
Nope it also happens when I am listening to music... audio just stops! Pisses me off... hopefully the OTA update fixes this

Happens to me as well. I have not noticed it since I switched to my bluetooth stereo headset though. Might it be something involving the wired headset? (I think it has happened to me on bt as well but it does not occur nearly as often if that is the case.)

[Q] Bluetooth headphone issue - audio playback

Hey everyone, just upgraded to the atrix, loving the phone so far but I've recently come across an issue and was wondering if anyone else has had this problem (or can explain why it occurs):
when listening to audio I turn off the screen and about 2-5 minutes in (sometimes more, sometimes less) the audio just stops. The headset doesn't disconnect, the music just cuts out and when I bring up the music player and hit play it just starts it over from the beginning. However if I leave the screen on the entire time I'm playing audio, it never cuts out
I use a motorola S305 bluetooth headset, the files are .mp3 format and I've tried playing them from SDcard and internal phone storage..they played perfectly fine on my HTC HD2 with the same headset so it's not the files themselves or the headset. Anyone else have this issue?
Interesting. I noticed the same thing last night. Doesn't always do that, but I thought it was weird when it did. I'm using the same s305 headset.
I was just about to post this! it's so annoying. It will play fine forever until i turn the screen on to do something, then it turns off the audio like 3 minutes into the song. what's worse, it's not pausing it, it's stopping it. if you check the music player, the position on the song will be reset. very annoying for audio books!
I just tested it playing thru the phone speaker and it shuts off in about 3 minutes as well, doesn't seem to be related to bluetooth at all.
Is the player added to your ignore list in any task manager/killer?
Personally, i've tried 3 players, the stock music player,Mixzing and Poweramp. all three do exactly the same thing. No task killers installed, with the built in task manager, it's not added to the kill list. I'm rooted btw.
I am having a similar problem to this and I was just about to post, when streaming via bluetooth to my car stereo using Pandora, my phone will completely freeze and after maybe 1 min of freeze will do a complete reboot. I even restored phone and it still does it.

Garbled/distorted audio through Bluetooth

Hi there,
i was wondering if anyone experienced same issue happening to me with my Nova Plus. Random garbled/distorted sound only through Bluetooth. This happens only for voice calls through bluetooth, during each conversation random the sound is distorted, recovers and distorts again. it's impossible to keep a normal conversation. streaming music through bluettoth is fine though with the same equipment. i experience this issue so far in my car and with my bluetooth headphones.
I will try to re-pair them again but it's too much of a coincidence that two devices got bad paired. Hopefully that's the only reason. Any other suggestions i could try?
I'm not concerned on my Nova but I was on my old Samsung Galaxy S5 on custom ROM. It was a kernel related issue if I'm not wrong. Hope it will be fixed soon. As for me on my Nova I have an issue with audio like podcast that doesn't play. These Huawei phones are attractive ones but definitely not ready for daily use. Weird
**Update**
So i have an update on this. i've noticed that whenever i receive a call from my headphones or being in the car my phone is on wifi. yeah i know i got my own wifi following me everywhere . anyways, i tried and disconnected the wifi being on my headphones and received a call. no more distorted audio. have to check that in my car as well.
any update on this issue? I just got the Nova Plus. I like it but this bluetooth audio issue is making me unhappy

No notification sounds when using bluetooth headphones

Hey all, it's been bothering me for quite a while and am just getting around to it now.
When listening to music (on any type of player app), I do not hear my notification sounds. The only thing that happens is that the music still plays, but lowers itself to maybe 20% for a few seconds, then back to normal.
This is the only way I know "something" came in. But with no audio queues, I have no idea from which app.
I believe I never had this issue with my old wired headphones. Unfortunately I no longer have wired headphones to test with.
Has anyone else come across this?

Bluetooth headset controls not working (most of the time)

Ok so basically I use bluetooth lg tone pro's every day for work, and every time I am listening to music while the screen is off..I can skip or repeat the song but I can't really pause it. SOMETIMES I can pause it but when it lets me pause it...it will close spotify. I never had any problems with my htc 10, s7 and nexus phones, so it's not a broken headset.
Anyone else have these problems?
I went on maintenance just to be sure spotify or soundcloud isn't being put to sleep and it's on the unmonitored, I tried re pairing the device but no luck.
Hey, I know its been a while since your post but I have these issues actually. I have a spotify community post open as well as I don't think google play music has had this issue. If you want to weigh in there as well here it is https://community.spotify.com/t5/On...king-after-a-few-minutes/idc-p/3740076#M63097
