How to Improve Spotify Streaming on Asus Zenfone?

[sedrttyaval]

Hi everyone,
I'm using Spotify on my Asus Zenfone, but lately, I've noticed that the app sometimes buffers while streaming songs, even with a strong Wi-Fi connection. I've already tried reinstalling the app and clearing the cache, but the issue persists.

Is anyone else experiencing this? Could it be a compatibility issue with my phone, or is there another solution I could try? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance! 😊

Buffering issues on Spotify, even with a strong Wi-Fi connection, can stem from several factors. Here are some solutions you can try:

1. Check Spotify's Server Status

• Sometimes, Spotify’s servers might be experiencing issues. You can check their status on sites like Downdetector or Spotify's official status page. Also, use the latest Spotify mod apk.

2. Optimize Network Settings

• Switch Wi-Fi Bands: If you're using a dual-band router, connect to the 5GHz network instead of 2.4GHz for faster speeds.
• Reboot Your Router: Sometimes, resetting your router can resolve connectivity issues.
• Avoid Network Congestion: Disconnect other devices using the same Wi-Fi to ensure Spotify gets sufficient bandwidth.

3. Adjust Spotify's Streaming Quality

• Go to Settings > Audio Quality, and lower the streaming quality to "Normal." This reduces buffering, especially if the connection speed fluctuates.

4. Enable/Disable Hardware Acceleration

• Some devices might have issues with hardware acceleration. Disable it in Spotify's settings or enable it if it’s off.

5. Allow Background Data Usage

• Ensure Spotify is allowed to use background data:
  • Android Settings > Apps > Spotify > Data Usage > Enable "Background Data."

6. Disable Battery Optimization

• On Asus Zenfone, go to Settings > Battery > Battery Optimization, and set Spotify to "Not optimized." Battery optimizations can interfere with app performance.

7. Update Device Software

• Ensure your Asus Zenfone is running the latest firmware. Compatibility issues can arise with outdated software.

8. Test on Mobile Data

• Switch to mobile data to determine if the issue is specific to your Wi-Fi. If it works fine, there might be a router or ISP configuration issue.

9. Reset Network Settings

• Resetting your network settings can resolve persistent connectivity problems:
  • Settings > System > Reset Options > Reset Wi-Fi, Mobile & Bluetooth.

10. Contact Spotify Support

• If none of these solutions work, the issue could be specific to Spotify on Asus devices. Reach out to Spotify support with your phone model and firmware details.
