Spotify wifi download issues

I continue to have issues trying to synch spotify playlists. This has been an issue since I got the watch. It starts but after 10 to 15 min I get wifi fail. I than restart and it seems to pick up where it left off which is a good thing but getting to be a pain. Still today, added around 30 songs to my playlist and trying to sych. I have had to restart the wifi about 5 times already and it is still not done. A bit of a pain.

it has to be your device problem (maybe even Hardware one). I have f6pro. Works with my spotify for many months. Maybe try factory reset and reinstall again.

i don't think it's the device, it's actually the second device doing the same, maybe it's my wifi, some type of time out maybe

I would agree...that sounds like a hardware issue because the spotify has worked perfectly for me (though long playlists will sap the battery quite a bit), but in terms of functionality, I have found it to be pretty seamless and consistent

Having the same issue but now mine won't even get above 0% before giving me sync failed. Have restarted the watch, reinstalled the app, and factory reset. Super annoying, used to work flawlessly.

Just replaced my Vivoactive 3 Music with 6 Pro. Spotify sync in my home Wifi is very unreliable (I had no problems with VA3M), usually it downloads a song or two, and then fails. If I try immediately again, it fails right away. Later it might work again. Today I tried mobile hotspot from phone, and it worked flawlessly, multiple times. Definitely seems like some compatibility issue. Router is Netgear R7800.

in my case mobile hot spoting didn't help at all. my playlist is about 350 songs, it's that too large? i am unable to synch the last 15 songs. each attempt fails, if iam lucky i get one new song after many symc attempts

Maybe, I tried to sync a list 357 titles. Sync stopped after 298. Only tried one more time and gave up.

Having the same issue now. It used to work fine.The sync starts but after a few minutes it fails. It will actually download a few songs but then fail which indicates it's connecting but not holding. Ever since I upgraded my wifi network to Netgear Orbi (which works flawlessly with everything else in the house) I've had issues with it. I even checked on the router settings if the watch was connected to 2.4GHz band and it was indeed was.

I even tried deleting the playlist and uninstalling spotify but that didnt work. Frankly, I've been growing a strong dislike for the watch over the past few months. Every time I finally manage to go for a run I spend at least 10 - 15 minutes messing around with settings and updating my spotify playlists. Where is the auto update playlist when charging? Why can't I listen music while syncing? Why can't I add my "Liked songs" as a playlist instead I have to create a duplicate playlist. For a $650 piece of hardware, this aspect of it quite cheap and poorly made.

Try syncing as close as possible to the router. I put my Fenix 6 charger 3 feet away from my hotspot, syncs like a charm while charging.

I tried putting right next to the router - same issue. Wifi bars are all solid. Im on my 30th attempt and only 28 songs have been added.
