Bluetooth music pause annoying; no options

[ChrisA7000]

Why is the Bluetooth pausing when playing music through my speakers and headphones. Very annoying. I've tried rebooting numerous times. Pauses stop if I scroll ever few seconds but that's ridiculous. Also there's no longer an audio jack on this model so there are no options to play uninterrupted. Basically this is breach of contract as pleasant music is no longer available and I am still under contract. 

Samsung; what are my options?

"breach of contract" lol 😂 

What's the device model number? 

What music app are you using?

Galaxy S20 FE
Spotify, downloaded music.
I've tried rebooting; my system is updated and everything else I could find online. Looks like lots of folks have this issue.
Thanks for any help.

Yeah, I had this issue a few weeks ago. 

It's not a Samsung problem, it was Spotify's. It was fixed for me on the next update. 

I went through the whole Clear Cache & Data for Spotify, Uninstall / Reinstall, Download about 9 Gig of my music 2 or 3 times.

Spotify Tech support was awesome, although they didn't solve the problem, pretty sure that I figured it out on my own.

It was a real pita for a week until the next update.

Unfortunately you can't download a previous version from apk mirror or something..

Anyway, I've requested a refund for the month of April, and I'm pretty sure that I'll get it.

Anyway, check for an update to Spotify & the issue should be resolved! 

You should do the same if you have Spotify Premium (or whatever it's called). 👍 🎶 🎶 🎵

U R right. My 7 music app plays smoothly. I'll wrestle with Spotify soon. Muchas gracias 😀

Yeah - Just update Spotify and the "pause" issue with it should fix the issue for you & then email Spotify support to get a refund for the month 😉👍

By the way. 

Just received a confirmation from Spotify that I am receiving a refund for the month of April.

So I'd suggest that you contact Spotify Support, and explain that you were "suffering" 😉 through your Spotify Premium subscription, for ages until Spotify updated their app!

It's a good solution for me! 👍

Roger that. For me listening to pausing music is genuine suffering and psychologically damaging which has, among other things led me to seriously threaten legal action 🎬.
Thanks for all your guidance.
You're the best man!

Happy to help! Spotify constantly pausing, and having to force stop it to get it playing again, was really annoying me as well! 

Happy to find the solution for this!
