Recent Spotify Connect problems on Amazon Fire TV

Hello! after the recent update to the Amazon Fire TV I am no longer able to use Spotify Connect on the Fire TV.When I initiate a connection from my cell phone (Android, Nexus 5) Sporitfy Connect launches, but ends up in an error message "Hm. Irgendwas ist schiefgelaufen. Probiere es noch mal." (german) ("Uups, something went wrong. Please try again."). I tried again and again for some days now and I start to feel a bit of frustration now. Greetings, spotifyphilipp

Same here, Spotify Connect stopped working with the current FireTV firmware. adb logcat doesn't show any helpful information: I/ActivityManager( 700): START u0 {act=android.intent.action.MAIN flg=0x10020000 pkg=com.spotify.tv.android cmp=com.spotify.tv.android/.SpotifyTVActivity (has extras)} from pid 895

[Desktop][Connect] Control Spotify Connect Devices With Desktop App

Recently, Spotify Connect enabled controlling the desktop app with a mobile device, but this is not complete!
Allow the controlling of Spotify Connect devices with the Destop App. For example I can control a mobile device from my PC, or I can control the PlayStation app from my PC.
Right now I run a virtual machine with a virtual tablet to run the Spotify Mobile app to use Spotify Connect to control devices from my PC, when I should be able to use the desktop app in the first place.

Updated: 2015-06-30Hello!
This should already work - as a matter of fact I'm just controling my smartphone via my Desktop atm.
Could you please tell us what devices you're using and which Spotify versions you've got installed on there? Also are you on the same network on both devices?

Spotify Connect & Yamaha Reciever problems - See the device but cannot connect.

I have a Yamaha RX-V577 reciever with Spotify Connect and update to the last firmware.
When I try to connect spotify using the Android APP, I see the device but cannot conect to it.
What are the steps you took to get to the error/issue?
1. I star a song
2. Click on the speaker sign with a circle, and click on the receptor (Yahama device).
3. The grey rounder speaker sign goes from grey to green and the sound waves moves (like tryng to connect).
4. After a while it goes back to grey.
IMPORTANT I dont know how sometimes it works, dunno how but after trying alot yesterday It worked. But cannot reproduce it.

I have the EXACT same issue BUT on a Sony STR 1050! It worked fine up until lately. Sometimes I get it to work, but mostly not. When it works, it's very unreliable and often not in synch.
It still works absolutely fine with my Computer/Spotify App. I can even tell my PC to use my AVR as sound output and the connect to my PC to listen via my AVR. But connecting directly to my AVR is a PITA. Since more users have the same problem across different AVRs, it seems to be a new Spotify problem and not an issue with my AVR.
When can we expect that this issue is fixed!? I'm using this feature constantly.

Turn off Spotify Connect

How do I disable Spotify Connect?
If I've got my tablet (iPad) running the app, I definitely don't want my phone running it and draining the battery with the app running there as well.
Thanks
Edit by
I've just added a guide on ways of disabling Spotify Connect. Hopefully there will be a way of enabling/disabling the service at will in the future.
How to disable Spotify Connect
MODERATOR EDIT:
Hey everyone, Spotify staff here. Recently we updated the Community Idea "Make Spotify Connect a choice" with the status "Not Right Now".
If you've installed our latest Spotify app for Android (1.8.0) and you're still having trouble with battery drain please let us know right here.
We'd also like to mention these other Connect ideas which are a bit more specific to the Connectrequests you've made in this thread. Please leave your kudos and feedback in those as well if they apply to the reasons you'd like to turn off Spotify Connect.
[Spotify Connect] Less pop-ups when I change devices
[Spotify Connect] Don’t automatically synchronize what i am playing across devices
[Spotify Connect] Add access control on my Connect devices
If you don't see the idea you'd like to see, please feel free to make a new idea and post a link in this thread. We're keeping a close eye on your feedback and we're actively bringing it back to the right teams.

Hi... I have a problem with this as well - I find it incredibly annoying. For example, I was out picking up a pizza and listening to spotify in my car... When I got home my girlfriend began listening to Spotify on her cell phone - and my cell phone began playing music from it because my device was the last selected. If at all possible, I'd like there to be a feature to turn this option OFF entirely. I can't see it being logical to have this on by default. I enjoyed the option that stopped my device from playing completely when someone else was using the same account from another machine, hopefully you can bring this back because it totally makes more sense than the way it is now.
I don't like the ability with anyone who has access to the account to be able to play music on any device that has the app open as well. This can be quite embarrassing if someone accidentally clicks on your device, say, as you go into a meeting with your phone in your pocket and it begins playing "It's raining men" or something... I hope you can understand my sentiment! Again this can be fixed if you just gave us an option to turn this off entirely for any (or all) device(s).

Changed Routers No Connectivity for Amazon Fire TV

Recently purchased the ActionTec M1424WR router from Verizon, replacing the Westell 9100 EM I have been using for years. Amazon Fire TV worked great until I installed the new router. Fire TV is connected with micro HDMI to TV. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Are you connecting the Fire tv to the router wireless or by ethernet? Have you gone into the Fire tv's settings and reset the network?

Hi jhyiesla,
Im not sure wether I got you right or not. But my advice/s would be as follows:
These steps help you get rid of old apps you downloaded years ago and you do not use anymore.(Also frees space on your mac after emptying the trash)
1) go to iTunes and delete all applications in it. Make sure to move them to trash! Do not empty your trash yet. Its your backup if step 3 doesnt appear.
2) connect both your devices(one after each other) and make a backup. !!!Dont press the Sync button, press the Back Up Now Button
3) Then it asks you if you want to backup applications as well. Confirm. (This is how apps get transferred manually)
4) Then Sync your devices... The first time it might be, that there are some additional apps loaded to your devices you dont want to.. delete them on your Device (not iTunes) and after that you should be good every time you sync again.
5) now you can empty your trash on your mac.
Further,
- You should regularly connect your devices with iTunes to make sure they are backed up. (Even if you have activated iCloud backup, the iTunes backup is more proper i.e.. Apps)
- If you hate scrolling through a list of apps in iTunes, you can re/install apps directly on iOS not via iTunes. I absolutely never go to the "Applications" section in iTunes. I install and delete apps directly on iOS.

My computer is running very slow, how can I tell if it is a internet connection problem or my computer?

I have a mac 10.5.8 and it has been very slow lately. I often get the rainbow wheel when using it and recently I have had to restart the computer alot because it seems to freeze. The only other open program besides Safari is the finder which i cant seems to ever shut off. I'm not sure if this is an interent connection problem or if my mac needs servicing.

Please begin using 25 Ways to Speed Up Your Mac you will almost certainly find the cause there. The first place I'd look though is how much RAM your system has, if you never upgraded it that could be the problem. Macs ship with a minimum amount of RAM so it's possible a simple RAM upgrade would help. Use the article though and methodically go through the suggestions.

10.4.5 connection problems

I recently upgraded to 10.4.5. When I used 10.3.9 my wireless connection was fast and dependable. Since my upgrade my connection and download speeds are a tenth of what they were using 10.3.9. Looking through these posts I see lots of people are experiencing connectivity problems with 10.4.5. I am almost ready to back up, reformat and go back to 10.3.9. Maybe somebody has some suggestions. My setup is as follows:
1) Cable modem connected to a Linksys Wireless G Access Point.
2) Third party (Buffalo) Wireless G card in the G4 (worked great with 10.3.9).
3) Unencrypted wireless network (my house is far enough from the neighbors that security isn't really a concern).
4) 2 windows computers connected via ethernet cables to the access point.
5) 1 windows computer with a wireless G USB adapter.
6) Wireless bridge connecting game consoles.
Thanks,
Rick

I have upgraded my network to 10.4.5 and have not experieced any issues with my ibook and my collegues powerbook which connect wirelessly.
I have a cable modem connected to a linksys wifi router without any issues.
However I am not using 3rd party wireless cards. It would sound like the airport driver that ran your card worked better for you under 10.3.9. Rather than revert your OS back to 10.3.9 have you considered using the older airport driver?
There are 2 airport kernel extensions on my 10.4.5 system
/System/Library/AppleAirport.kext
/System/Library/AppleAirport2.kext
You could use a utility such as pacifist to extract the airport.kexts from your panther disk and replace them in your current OS.
This hack may or may not work, I have not tried it myself. I dont endorse hacking systems other than my own or provide a guarantee it will work it is just an idea. So be sure to make a backup of your original extensions.

Connection problem to Oracle 11.1.0 on Windows Professional XP (SP2)

Hello
I've recently performed default installations for 3 Oracle Databases, into seperate homes on a newly formatted Windows
Professional XP (SP2) standalone laptop. For all databases Oracle 10.2.0 (rover), Oracle XE (xe) and Oracle 11.1.0 (fido) I
installed APEX and they worked perfectly.
I then installed my Wireless O2 Broadband for my internet which uses DHCP
I am unable to connect to my databases with the wireless broadband connected. I then bring down all databases and turn
off/disable the Broadband,then restart all databases.
Using commands
Set ORACLE_SID=ROVER
sqlplus system/rover@rover
Set ORACLE_SID=XE
sqlplus system/xe@xe
Set ORACLE_SID=FIDO
sqlplus system/fido@fido
Connections are successfull apart from the Oracle 11.1.0 (fido) database with error
ERROR:
ORA-12514: TNS:listener does not currently know of service requested in connect
descriptor
Can anybody identify my connection problem to Oracle 11.1.0 (fido) database by reviewing my listener.ora, tnsnames.ora and
other configuration files below.
Many thanks in advance

New retina MacBook Pro - WiFi connectivity problems

Dear all,
I've recently purchased the new Haswell 13" retina MBP, and I'm having exactly the same WiFi connectivity problems the 2013 Airs had. I have a solid connection for a short time, and at irregular intervals it just drops out. All of my other devices are still connected and have no problems. I've tried with two different routers/modems, but the problem persists.
Is this a known problem - with hopefully a software fix in the forseeable future, or do I need to return the MacBook?
Many thanks in advance for your help,
Nic

I haven't got a Retina, but I do have the same wifi problem. And if you've looked at these forums, you'll see it's been going on for years and no one seems to have a handle on what the issue is. All I can say is if I were in your place I'd take it back and exchange it. You have the chance now, so take it.

HT-ST9 Spotify Connect Issue

Just purchased the HT-ST9. It's absolutely awesome! However I'm having issues playing Spotify with Spotify Connect.
The speaker connects to my wifi no problem and has updated to the latest firmware, but when listening to Spotify from any device - iPhone 6, iPhone 5, iPad, MacBook - it will stop playing after about 1 minute and jump back to the home screen. This only happens when using Spotify Connect. Bluetooth has no issues, but the sound quality is nowhere near as good as using Connect so I want to get this fixed.
Any help very much appreciated!

Hi tn5280,
Please try to clear all memorized settings and restore the receiver to the factory default settings by the following procedure. Be sure to use the buttons on the receiver to perform this operation.33
1. Turn off the receiver.
2. Hold down (on/standby) on the receiver for 5 seconds. [CLEARING] appears on the display panel for a while, then changes to [CLEARED!] .
Note:
It takes a few minutes for the memory to be cleared completely. Do not turn the receiver off until [CLEARED!] appears on the display panel.
Let us know if you're getting the same result.
Thanks,

9780 and Playbook bluetooth connection problem

I have never experienced bluetooth connecting problems between my 9780 and Playbook 64 previously ... but for last few days I cannot connect them. I have deleted both devices and re-paired successfully. I have turned both fully off (removed 9780 battery) and still no connection.
I have tested both devices by successfully connecting each of them to other bluetooth devices. They just will not connect to each other for some reason.
The only change was the recent Playbook Software update.
I use the Bridge and Tethering all the time and so need Bluetooth to be working ... thanks for any assistance.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

maybe you can uninstall then reinstall the Bridge app on your 9780.

SPP 4.4 on DB2 connection problems and missing documentation

HI all,
i'm trying to install a SPP server using DB2 version 9.7.4 but i'm having a lot of connection problems.
It seems that we are missing some "addendum documentation" on this kind of cofiguration.
Anyone has this kind of doc?
Thx
Enrico

Have you tried the ANCILE Product Support Center at http://products.ancile.com?
Please read through and answer the following questions, as well as being informative to me they may also point you in direction to location of this problem.
May I know the RWD/OS/DB version?
Are the server/client located in different location?
Do you have connection problem between server and client?
Have you tried to restart the related service and test again?
Do you have the same problem before or it just happend recently?
Does the problem happen only on some client machine?
Does the problem happen only for some document?
Can you please do the following:
1. Start uPerform Client software.
2. On the problem computer, go to Tools > Options in uPerform Client
