Spotify tablet version ? - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Any way we can make spotify think our HTC one phone is a tablet ? So we cab benifit from my their new policy with tablets being able to listen to any song you want instead if smartphones can inky shuffle playlist and not choose individually . Either way I'm very happy they did this as I can just take my tablet to work ! And have all the music I want but I know there is got to be something we can change in build prop or app that makes it think it's a tablet and we get even more free spotify on the go
I know there has to be a way into tricking the app your phone its a tablet

Your best bet is to try fooling around with DPI settings, use the App Settings Xposed module for that.

On my Asus Padfone2 (a 2in1 phone and tablet) spotify starts with restrictions when I start the app on my phone.
When starting the app in tablet mode it acts like tablet version.
One funny thing is if I start the Spotify app in tablet mode and set the ASUS setting "dynamic display" for the Spotify app and then take the phone out of the tablet - and now is in phone mode - the Spotify app is still running without restrictions. So its only at system start up on the Spotify application it does the check we all are trying to find..
Please let me know if there are some tweaks you would like me to try on my device...

I've tried everything to do with dpi for play store play services to make play store think my phone is a tablet spotify is even in tablet interface but still doesn't let me pick any song I want must have to do with phone identity or maybe radio I will try tablet mode with airplane mode on and WiFi on and see if that tricks it

Me too
I have an Android tablet and smartphone like many others here and would like to be able to use Spotify without Shuffle Play on my phone.
There most be some bright spark out there that can circumvent Spotify;s method of determining that it is running on a smartphone as opposed to a tablet !
Come on guys - there must be a way...

Same here, I'm on a xiaomi mi2s with miui and changed the DPI but still only shuffle... I even changed the permissions so it can't ask for the phone id and telephone status but no chance... Hope someone finds a solution soon!

Ok just found the perfect solution! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2596603

I ended up staying with the premium version, in fairness for €9.99 a month it's good value.

Sorry for un-dig this post, but spotify checks the device name on the build.prop, and then verifies that against its own database to see if its a device with more or less than 7".
That simple.

Xposed and tabletmetrics

Can Google make it so when my apps are updating, it only does it one at a time? The phone becomes practically unusable when 10 apps are trying to download at the same time. Super annoying.

just don't use your phone for a minute while they update
Maybe there's a possibility, like the netflix mod, to bypass the root check by someone that has the knowledge to do that sort of thing
If I install this, can I receive another Market update in the future? Or I should again install via APK?

Alright I think I have figured out that you cannot review content that was downloaded using the other market I think? Yeah it is pretty confusing if anyone could clarify this a bit more?

I manually updated this, works fine. I do have a problem though, maybe it's me ;o)
How do you manually update an App after installing this latest Market app.
Example:
I've installed the new market place and notice that the Amazon UK app had an update this morning. I have set this app to manual update, but when I open the app through the new market, the only 2 buttons are 'open' and 'uninstall', there's no update button.
Confused? I am... any ideas guys?

Spotify question

I got my AHD yesterday. Had wifi problems at first but I seem to have figured that out. Now I'm having problems with spotify. It fc's like crazy, will freeze up and stop playing. And especially if I use the lock screen controls. Can anyone else test and see how it acts on your phone? I'm wondering if it's my phone or the AHD in general.
Sent from my MB886 using Tapatalk 2
I have the exact same problem :/
Except it's on my phone.
It started after the new radio spotify update.
Just because I wrote this and I rebooted my phone it seems like it works again ^^

There are a few apps that probably haven't been tested on the AHD yet. Spotify and Hulu for example.
Until the company tests them, there will probably be issues.
My Spotify basically doesn't work on my AHD.

Yea its pretty tricky. I found that if I get it to play and immediately leave the app it'll usually continue to play through my list. As soon as I try to select songs or do any basic action in the app it just freezes up and fc's.

"This app is compatible with your device" When browsing Play Store?

On all my other Android devices I can install apps from my laptop via the Play website. Can I not do that on my Fire HD even though it tells me I can, or am I missing something?
I am curious as well if there is a way to tweak the kfhd to download more apps from the playstore...like lie to it that ot is some other ics device

Ummmm. No, as far as I know. I don't see how or why this would work until the KF2 gets a real OS on it. Once it down, I do not see why it shouldn't. For now though, I don't know of any ways it's possible. Back to browsing on the device for you! [EDIT] I was wrong! The app is on my device. It was sitting in front of me for an hour or so when I turned it on to do stuff and found the app I pushed on it there! So it does work in theory, it may be slow for you, or some other issue, but it should work it seems!

Yes, this IS possible. I will look into it and post. It's a file you have to tweak, I did it before on tablets I just am completely blanking out since it's been a year or two. You will probably need something like RomToolbox. That's what I bought ages ago and use on every device I hack, just a personal preference but you will need a "build.prop editor".
Here use this app it will switch you device to make it look like a different device and allows you to download more apps.

Has someone been able to activate multitasking on a rooted kindle fire hd?

I have been searching for about three days and all I could find was people saying that a new one cant. Without having to use a custom rom is it able to add multitasking that amazon removed back on a rooted kindle fire HD?

It depends on what you mean by "multitasking". If you are talking about the ability to switch between apps without losing everything...it already does that. Any time you move away from an app, it goes into suspend mode and is stored in cache. In suspend mode, the app is no longer running code, therefore there is no processing being done on it until it is called back again. It's not really "multitasking" in the truest sense but that's how ICS does it.
On the other hand, if you're talking about the "history" button, that brings up a list with screenshots of your recent apps in their suspended state...the 2G KFs do not have that feature.

Netflix on the gear...

Some would say "why???"
I say "because it can be done"
I mean it's absolutely rediculous... Why would you want to watch it on your watch???
But it does run extremely smooth. No hiccups or stutters. I watched a 22min show just to test it out. Picture looks surprisingly good too.
I don't think id watch another show on it... It's more for bragging rights lol

Haven't thought of that! So in theory you can install mx player and then put in a movie and watch it on the watch?
That's hilarious.
I wish there were working bluetooth speakers on this, then this would make this the ultimate smart watch. But one can only dream....
