Smallest device for offline spotify? (July 2015)

I have seen several threads on this - but all were pretty old. So, what is currently - July 2015 - the smallest, lightest device that can store and play my spotify music when I am offline?(and that can sync my playlists when I am back in WiFi): I don´t like to carry my phone with me when I go jogging... If I am not mistaken, the spotify app for android wear still requires the phone connection (rather than storing music on the small device itself)https://www.wareable.com/smartwatches/spotify-app-for-android-wear-released-1303

So I spent some time browsing the forum and this is not just a Yamaha issue but also happens on DENON and ONKYO and PIONEER as well. Same issue as mine where people have droids or apple devices that work to control their AVR using the AVR apple or droid app but the AVR itself will not show up on the Spotify list as an available device to connect to.
Random "fixes" like durning DHCP on/off, power cycling equipment, monkeying about with firewall settings, using "test" accounts with Spotify, etc in order to fix this.
Something seems seriously flawed with the protocols/design of SPOTIFY CONNECT that are integrated into the modern AVR's.
My Yamaha RX-V677 was $599. The DENON ONKYO and PIONEER lines that have some of the more cool features like HTC CONNECT, Airplay, WiFi, MHL support, 4k pass thru, etc are all simliar in price of this 600 to 1200 range.
So my $600 Yamaha, where EVERYTHING on it works beautifully, but Spotify connect does not is ridiculous. I am on Day 1 of the 30 day "Premium" trial and had the Spotify Connect worked from the get go I would have zero reservations about becoming a full time Spotify Member and happily auto pay the monthly fee (mainly because of the black metal and death metal stations).
So... If anyone has an actaul FIX for this, that at this point is no specific to YAMAHA since I have read of other brands having same problems, please speak up.
It does not help that support simply sends me links to generic t-shooting and canned responses. Clearly, there is a SPOTIFY CONNECT problem with modern AVR's... I have no problems with the app itself on my samsung tablet or my htc one phone, and i have zero problems controlling my avr from either device.
The main issue, common to all problems, is the actaul spotify connect feature and setting the AVR into SPOTIFY mode that is fubar. Really lame, IMO...........

App to organize, sync, delete photos for offline use

Looking for advice from the community.
I would like one App that will import my pics from Camera Roll, organize into albums, allow me to delete individual photos, sync so pics are on my iPad & iPhone. I want to keep the photo album on my device for offline use but delete the photos from my camera roll so it doesn't get cluttered.
Example: I take 20 pictures of Rescue-Sophie and decide to keep 10. With the native app I can create an album, and delete pictures but that's really it. The photos stay in Camera Roll with only a "copy" in the album. I use Picasa so I can embed slide shows of the rescues and do large scale organizing/labeling.
Now I want to sync my album named "Rescue-Sophie" so it appears on my iPad and iPhone while I am offline. I often whip out pictures of our available and sometimes past rescues to show potential adopters and cannot rely on being able to retrieve them off the net/cloud.
I don't mind paying for a "professional" level App if it does what I want. I don't really care about editing, color, photoshopping, etc... Organization and keepi g my Camera Roll uncluttered are my main goals.
Can anyone help?
FYI - rescues means dogs. I belong to a non-profit and I head up the rescue committee for Pomeranians in Virginia.

I have an iphone4 and that I have had for four years and they are saying that I am not eligible for an upgrade until the end of July 2015. That is four years and 3 months after I purchased this phone. "Customer service" said I had an upgrade at the end of July 2013, which I did not. She said that in the system my husband took an upgrade July 29th 2013. He didn't even have a Verizon phone, he had a work phone with T-mobile. I have asked what device he supposedly upgraded to since no phones have been activated and we all still have our same phones and numbers. Remember at the time, said husband had a work phone with T-mobile. I still have the very same phone as do all of the rest of my family members. No one has upgraded. I spoke with "customer service" for more than a half an hour today, Char promised me that her supervisor (Emily) would call me back by 7:30 tonight to clear up this problem. Well guess what? No call back so where should I go from here? Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your help.

someone swapped upgrades. Phone could have been sold For quick cash.

PS+ Predictions for July 2015

I have already predicted Black Flag in the existing PS+ July guess thread. http://community.eu.playstation.com/t5/PS-Plus/PlayStation-Plus-July-2015-Guess-Thread/td-p/23329896

It is that time of the month again. What are your predictions for July PS+? I know we wont be getting the plus store update until the 8th July. Due to the US store update falling on the 30th. With it being the update after E3 and also the 5th anniversary of PS+ I think we will get a AAA title. My predictions: PS4Killzone ShadowfallRocket League (I doubt it but I can hope)Nighogg (Cross buy) PS3Gran Turismo 6Nighogg (Cross buy) VitaFinal Fantasy X/X-2Nighogg (Cross buy) that is my guess anyhow.

LR Mobile: Downloading images for Offline Editing stops when not using device (iPad).

Hi everyone,
I'm using Lightroom Mobile on my iPad and I'm having issues downloading my galleries for offline editing. I'd like to hit the download button and leave my iPad for a couple of hours while a couple thousand photos are downloaded, however, as soon as I turn off the iPad and walk away for a bit of time, the sync seems to stop. Case in point: I started it last night before going to bed, left my iPad plugged in, and when I checked it this morning, it had stopped after 50 or 60 photos. It resumed as soon as I turned the iPad back on, which was still in the app.
Anyone else experiencing this? Is this a problem/limitation of iOS or a problem with the app? Any thoughts?
Thanks.

Yeah, Lr mobile behaviour isn't particularly friendly (I'm being very diplomatic) when it comes to off-line editing. The issue is of Adobe's making. So, don't go upsetting the folk at Apple ;-) Best you set your iPad so that it doesn't switch off. Once everything is downloaded you can set it back to auto switch off (assumes you remember).

Issue exists for all Spotify content when synced to offline mode. iOS 8.1, iPhone 6 Plus 64gb, latest version of Spotify from the App store as of Nov 11, 2014. Synced content from computer also fails to display album artwork.

Android phone connectivity in support of syncing music for offline play

Hello.. . I'm running the latest Premium Spotify on my Windows 7 PC (1.0.9.133.gcedaee38) and on my Android phone (3.2.0.1197). I used to be able to USB-cable-connect the phone to the laptop and see my phone in the "devices" area of the desktop Spotify UI. No longer. How does one now specify what songs should be sync'd to the phone for offline play? I have tried reinstalling both apps (on 7/16/15), ensuring 3GB free space on the phone, etc. to no avail. Where did this feature go? How can I specify and sync music now for offline play?

I have this problem too but all the songs that wont play arent downloaded from the itunes store theyre from another site

How do I create DRM Licenses that can be used for Offline Playback?

[ Background ]
Typically, a license is acquired from the DRM license server when the client video player encounters a video that is DRM-protected.   However, some use cases call for the ability for end-users to be able to play DRM content when a network connection is not available to the device.
For example - the user wants to download a video from their home, acquire a license to play the content, and then get onto a train/airplane where a network connection isn't available. On the train/airplane/etc..., the end user expects to be able to watch their video that they downloaded at home.
[ DRM Policy Requirements ]
For this use case to be possible, the DRM license must be acquired when the network connection is available. In addition, the DRM license must be allowed to persist on the device disk. For this to be possible, one value must be present in the DRM policy:
1. Offline License Caching must be set to 1 or higher. This policy parameter indicates how many minutes a license is allowed to be persisted to disk once it's been acquired by the license server.
[ Workflow ]
Now that the content has been packaged with a DRM policy that allows for offline caching (persistance) of a license, the video player simply has to acquire the license before the network connection is lost. This can be accomplished via the typical API calls that the Video Player Application Developer would use to do a normal DRM license acquisition (DRMManager.loadVoucher()).
For example, by using the DRMManager ActionScript3 API: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/net/drm/DRMManage r.html
For other platforms supported by Adobe Access DRM (iOS, Android, etc...), please refer to the appropriate documentation around playback of DRM content on how to pre-fetch the DRM license.
[ Workflow - iOS ]
Enabling offline playback using the Primetime Media Player SDK (PSDK) for iOS requires a bit of self-extraction & instantiation of the DRM Metadata from the m3u8. The reason for this is that as of PSDK v1.2, the PSDK APIs do not expose an mechanism for extracting the DRM metadata.
You must manually (outside of the PSDK) get access to the DRM Metadata, instantiate a DRMContentData, and then use the DRMManager class to obtain a license for your content. Afterwards, you may download your HLS content and stream it to your video player application locally. Since the DRM license was pre-acquired before playback of the downloaded HLS content, your video player application does not require a network connection to acquire a DRM license. Below is a code sample of obtaining the DRM Metadata from the m3u8 manifest and then using it with the DRMManager singleton.
/*          Main entry points, playlistURL is url to a top level m3u8. */
void PlayContent(NSURL* playlistURL)
          DRMManager* drmManager = [DRMManager sharedManager];
          if ([drmManager isSupportedPlaylist:playlistURL])
// First we need a handler for any errors that may occur
                    DRMOperationError errorHandler = ^(NSUInteger major, NSUInteger minor, NSError* nsErr)
/*          report error. */
/*          Synchronous call to DRM manager to extract DRM metadata out of the playlist. */
                    [_drmManager getUpdatedPlaylist:playlistURL
                                                                                  error:errorHandler
                                                                                updated:^(NSURL *newPlaylist, DRMMetadata *newMetadata)
                               (void) newPlaylist; /*          updated URL is not used for this code sample. */
                               if (newMetadata)
                                                  Assumes we are going to try to satisfy requirements to acquire license on the first policy in the metadata.
                                                  If there are multiple policies in the metadata, only 1 of them need to be satisfied for the license request to
                                                  go through.
                                         DRMPolicy* drmPolicy = NULL;
                                         for (id object in newMetadata.policies) {
                                                   DRMPolicy* drmPolicy = (DRMPolicy*)object;
                                                   break;
                                         if (drmPolicy == NULL)
                                                   /*          report error, this metadata is malformed. DRM metadata must contain at least 1 policy*/
                                         if (drmPolicy.authenticationMethod != ANONYMOUS)
However, please note that the above only describes the DRM license handling for offline playback. The actual playback of video using the Primetime client SDK is not officially supported. You will have to use your own mechanism of saving and playback back HLS content locally within the application.
Theoretically, it is possible to save the HLS stream to the app, and then embed an HTTP server to the app to stream the HLS content back into the application. However, the Primetime client SDK doesn't not expose a way to do this directly, since it's not yet supported.

"4 items to waiting to upload. Remote device is offline."

My Droid Razr Maxx keeps saying,"4 items to waiting to upload. Remote device is offline." What in the world is going on? My phone is linked to my computer, wireless is working, wi-fi is on, and i can't get this notification to go away. I've attached it directly to my computer via usb and still will not go away. Does anyone have any ideas on how I can get this to go away?

I had the same problem! I had to go to two different Verizon stores, one of them twice, in order to solve the problem. The store I went to twice did a factory reset on my phone, and that did not solve the problem. When I came back to the store the second time, a different guy looked at my phone and told me it has to do with Motocast and how it uploads. He said the phone is waiting for my laptop to be on in order to do the update. Connect your phone to your computer, log into your Motocast account, and try syncing your phone to your computer. This should get the message to go away. I have not seen the message again since I did this, and that was about a month and a half ago. Good luck!

WAAS Express devices went offline in Central manager

Hi all,
after a long time i have a new issue in our WAAS environment.
We're running several WAAS Express devices.
And a few weeks ago i integrated them into our WAAS Central Manager.
The registration of WAAS Express device was done on basis of "waasx_deployment_guide_120910.pdf"
Now when i came back from christmas holiday i detected that all of them became offline again in CM.
Activating as well as replacing did not work, cause the router detected that the device is still registered.
i got the following output after this:
Jan 10 15:30:37: %WAAS-3-WAAS_CM_REGISTER_FAILED: IOS-WAAS registration with Central Manager failed for the following reason: Registration r
ecord for this device already exists or other devices share certificate or mac address or ip address with this device. Failed to process reg
istration request initiated from 10.11.176.1

ecord for this device already exists or other devices share certificate or mac address or ip address with this device. Failed to process reg
istration request initiated from 10.11.176.1
Now to my questions:
How can i set the WAASxpress router to Status active again on CM?
What could be the reason why the WAAS express device became offline?
thanks for your feedback in advance
Dieter

Hi Dieter,
i am just curious to know what made the WAAS express go offline. Even if you open a TAC case, TAC is going to ask this question.
1. Was there any IOS upgrade performed on routers?
2. Was the routers reloaded for any reason?
3. If you are using AAA / TACACS, any changes like upgrade / renewal of certificates on them?
This information will help you narrow down the problem quickly. If you can share above information, we might be able to move something for you.
Regards.

I need a request code for offline activation. Because i cannot connect with adobe server for online activation. But I receive "The request code is invalid." by generate answer code.

Dear Anubha,
I hope these windows illustrate what I am facing.
The above window shows the prompt that the software requires activation.
The version is 8.1.0.
This next window is the point where I select activation by phone.
This final window shows that the "response code" is not returned. I get an
"Activation Number" instead.

Your iPhones's last known location will be available for a day. After 24 hours you will no longer be able to see this last known location if the device is offline or otherwise unable to connect to Find My iPhone to provide an updated location.
