General :: Old HTC Desire As Spotify Connect Device
Feb 24, 2014
I had an old HTC Desire in a drawer at home and thought I'd try let it serve as a Spotify Connect device attached to my Hifi. With the new Spotify Connect feature you can remotely connect to and control another device on your network to play music - perfect for me - without needing to buy a pricey new receiver with the feature built in!
It works remarkably well, much better than DLNA from my HTC One, with one caveat: after a period of inactivity it no longer shows up in the list of Connect devices in Spotify and I need to physically switch the screen on and select the Spotify app from the task list.
It's running CM 7.1 and turned Wifi power saving off in Wifi advanced settings. What else I could do to force it out of any power saving mode, seeing as it's connected to mains at all times?

Just switched from iPhone to new HTC Desire, which I love! Only one problem though! When I put my phone into airplane mode, but with wifi on, Spotify goes offline. When I take phone out of airplane mode Spotify still doesn't come back on. I want to be able to use Spotify at night, but with phone in this mode. I used to be able to do this in iPhone, am I doing something wrong? Would it have something to do with SD card?

I am looking for an app/widget to add a tiny bit of convenience to my life. I want the ability to tap on an icon on my homescreen that will trigger a (Bluetooth) connect to a device that I have paired with in the past. A one-tap-and-you're-done widget would be perfect. I have a Bluetooth dongle in my car that I connect to quite often that plays music over a stereo system (HTC Stereoclip A100). The device is paired with my phone, but I must go to Bluetooth Settings and click on the device to connect every time I get into my car.
I have tried a few apps in the Marketplace with no luck. I am using ICS (HTC EVO 4G LTE). One specific app that worked, but no longer works in ICS: Bluetooth Profile Widget [URL]

I have an android device: it's a stick connected to my TV, running android 4.1 rooted. The stick is an MK808B. The stick is connected to my TV's USB so that when I turn the TV on, the stick boots and when I turn the TV off, it shuts down completely.
I am looking for something that automatically connect the stick to VPN when I boot it. I would preferably use VPN over L2DP, although I'll take PPTP if there's no other option. I can't use openVPN because my ROM's kernel doesn't have TUN. There are two ways to approach this: one way is to connect it on boot, another way is to connect to VPN when the stick connects to a wireless network because my stick is stationary and always connects to the same wi-fi network.

Google services on my PC works perfectly fine, but there is something wrong with my network, google apps wont connect on any device connected to my home modem. I have tried it on my Phone, tablets, on my brothers phone, it just wont connect. However, when I connected my phone with the network of my University, I worked the first time but the second time, same no connection problem.

Few months back Bluetooth worked fine in my HTC Velocity 4G and the OS was 2.x.x. Suddenly it started to malfunction. Bluetooth is working. Can search and find for Bluetooth devices. Can pair (but doesn't ask for the passcode confirmation). But,
1. Cannot connect to the paired device.
2. Cannot send or receive files. When share through Bluetooth it just nothing happens. Same for the file receiving.
I did reset but didn't solve the problem. Therefore I updated the OS to 4.0.3, then reset the phone. But no result.

Any chance someone could pass me along the latest spotify APK? I'm in Canada and cannot access the latest APK on the play store. The manual download method from m.spotify.com leaves me with version 5.12.52 of the app installed on my phone.

I've done a search and there are threads similar to my problem, except they can transfer data. When I plug my phone in it wont give me access to the SD card? Wont even act as a removable storage device, what's going on? I've tried using the sync program that i downloaded but nothings working. I tried following the tips to get it synced but the problem seems to be with windows not recognizing the device. Got my Desire today and i love it, but i'd rather it wasn't broken.

I have a brand new windows 7 computer, I have installed the latest android SDK, I want to connect to my Nexus 10 using adb.
(device has windows drivers from SDK; "Android Composite ADB Interface". adb version 1.0.31)
when I do adb devices, it does see my device but it says my device is unauthorised.
It has never displayed the security popup.
I am convinced that the security pop up would make this work, but i cannot get it to show, so that it does whatever magic it does.
I have tried plugging and unplugging the usb cable,
I have tried turning USB debugging on and off.
I have changed the USB connection from Camera, to Media, back to Camera.
I can see the adbkey file under $HOME/.android in windows
The android directory /data/misc/adb/ is empty
I have root.
How can I force the security popup to display? Or how can I frig this so I can get it working?
What does the secuirty popup do anyway? probably just copy the adbkey file from windows into the android /misc/adb/ directory right? Can I do it by hand?
Slightly unrelated question, is it true that everything works first time, everytime on IOS?

I have a standalone GPS enabled data recorder in my car that can function as either a USB host or device. (Its a class 0x00h USB device). I currently connect to it via a WM 6.5 app running on my Palm Treo 750. I would like to port my WM 6.5 app to an Android phone. (I don't have a specific Android phone in mind, I would like it to be as generic as possible).Replicating the GUI is not that difficult, but I am having trouble getting started on the USB communication. I'd appreciate it if someone could point me towards an example, or the appropriate tutorial.

I really would like to be able to send an intent to spotify via Tasker, so that I could make tasker launch spotify AND start playing a certain playlist?
Since for example shazaam can send an intent to spotify and directly start a song in spotify, this has to work?
To use your BT-headphones and you dont even need to take the phone out from your pocket.

How can I get the Spotify app to run in tablet mode on my HTC One? I'm trying to use Xposed App Settings to do it, but the app still recognizes my device as a phone.

I want to use Spotify on my phone, but a stupid app restriction allows me only to listen randomly chosen songs from an artist or a playlist. This doesn't happen on the tablet version hopefully, so I want to use the tablet version on my S4. I used the Xposed module "App Settings" in order to change the app's dpi to 240 and even to 160, but it doesn't change to tablet mode (although the app became nearly impossible to read because of the dpi). I assume that Spotify doesn't change its form by dpi then, what this app knows it's on a tablet?

My issue is that after flashing a new rom (after wiping data/factory reset) Spotify will automatically delete my offline playlist. Using Titanium or any other backup solution WILL not work with spotify. After restoring it will restore default settings of the app and log you out.
I have tried copying the Spotify folder from my phone to my computer, than pasting after flashing the rom, but this does not work. Any way to NOT have to re-download spotify playlist after flashing roms?

I recently upgraded to Spotify Mobile on my Samsung S3. I also drive a 2008 BMW 535i. I am able to sync my phone to my bluetooth for phone use; however, I cannot figure out how to get Spotify Mobile to play via bluetooth. For those that have a 2008 or prior year BMW with bluetooth, is it possible to get Spotify (and other streaming music) to play over bluetooth? Or is this not an option? I know current model cars allow you to do this, but I'm beginning to suspect that this option was not available in 2008, at least for BMWs.

I currently run android 1.5 on a HTC magic. I'm trying to communicate from my phone to a bluetooth device that supports SPP. I can't seem to be able to connect to the device. I have tryed two ways to connect: 1- via the official 2.0 API using the backport-android to make it work on android 1.5 2- via the unofficial bluetooth api 0.3 Both method give me an error around the same connection process. ith API 2.0, I can discover devices and pair with them. Then i create a socket which seems to work, but when I use the .connect() method, I get this error in CatLog: IOException Unable to start Service Discovery. This is related to doSdp() in public class BluetoothSocket.Searching the web, it seems this error is related to a wrong UUID ... but I am using the SPP UUID properly. So, I thought the problem could be backport android, so I tried with the unofficial API from Gerdavax ( http://code.google.com/p/android-bluetooth/To connect to a device with this API you first create a socket, then you connect using the .openSocket( port number) method. The weird thing is, if I try with a new port, it connects, if I try a second time, it wont work, unless I change the port. I get a similar related error of SDP. Code...

I'd like to connect a HTC Desire to the PC only as debugging device. Every time I plug the cable in it searches for the HTC Sync software on the PC, and it takes a long time until finally a message appears on the phone like "no HTC Sync found, please install". After that, the phone is available to eclipse for debugging. But how can I avoid that everlasting searching process?

I am trying to use "adb -d shell" command to start a shell on device (android dev 1 phone ) from my vista command line. But whenever I try giving such command it does not open any shell or interaction on the phone device. But instead it goes to the next line in the cmd as '$'. any help would really appreciable. I have installed adb_usb_windows.
Previously I used work well with the emulator. Using adb command never troubled me. But now with new device, I am not able to open a shell using adb -d shell command on the phone.
