Help! My Phone is Connected to Sync but Won't Play Music

If all else fails, consider switching to a different music app that is more compatible with your phone. Some apps have better performance based on different devices.

I laughed when I saw this topic! ‘My phone talks but won’t sing’ could be the title of a sitcom! But seriously, have you tried resetting your phone’s settings?

Yes! Sometimes a factory reset can really fix many issues, but back up your data first! Nobody wants to lose their precious playlists!

Good point, sandy60! If you’re not comfortable with a factory reset, maybe try clearing the app cache first. It’s less drastic but can help.

Clearing the cache is a great suggestion! It often resolves temporary glitches without making big changes.

I think checking compatibility is crucial. Not all phones handle music playback the same way, especially older models with newer apps.

Right! Reflecting on past experiences, I’ve often found that older devices struggle with the latest apps. It’s a bummer, but it’s how tech evolves.

What model and OS are you using? I can suggest apps that are known to work better with specific devices!

I’m using a Galaxy S10 with Android 11. What would you recommend?

For the Galaxy S10, I recommend Spotify or YouTube Music. They usually perform well and are frequently updated for compatibility!
