I have three devices listed under "Show Available Devices" section on my phone:
-SM-N9005 (This device)
-SM-P600 (Unavailable for playback)
-SM-P600
How can I get rid of the duplicate SM-P600 tablet that is always listed as unavailable (under listing for available deiveces)? My desktop client does not list the unavailable one.
I suppose the strange duplicate device could be behind my playback problems that started when Connect was introduced. Frequently when I start playback on my tablet, it plays the song for half a second before pausing again. I must switch the playback in my phone to SM-N9005 (This device), restart the song and then while playing transfer it to SM-P600. This fixes the problem for some time.

Have you tried to re-install Spotify on your phone in the past?
Could be that the whole issue is more related to the playback bug I explained above. It has been working today, showing only one phone and one tablet on both devices but I will check what it is showing on the tablet the next time it occurrs.
Basically, it sometimes goes into a state where the song started from the tablet only plays for half a second before pausing again. The only way to fix I've found is to transfer the playback to my phone (from my phone), start the song and then transfer back to tablet.
This has been going over few versions already, I've factory reset the whole tablet while this problem has existed. Started with the introduction of Connect.
The very latest one downloaded manually (the one which has the looks you praised).
As I said, the previous ones had this issue too. And no, I guess there really is no way to remove a device but that it shouldn't be there to begin with and it is all related to this playback pausing issue.
Have you tried to reset your router to remove all double-not-available-diveces from list?
The problem repeated itself today again and yes, the not-available-for-playback device SM-P600 is there on my tablet too now.
This has nothing to do with my router, I've rebooted it time and again and there are no ghost devices on any IP lease tables or such.

I've even factory wiped and udated firmware manually twice to that tablet while this problem has been reapperaing regularly. No issues on my phone so I haven't tried that yet. The phone is just what I use as solution to the tablet constantly pausing.
I'm actually trying to add onto this topic. I install home theater receivers, and have been demoing Spotify for my customers. Now I have all of their systems in my "Available Devices" list, and I've accidentally played music at their house while they were trying to watch tv. I've obviously stopped demoing Spotify, but I need to find a way to "unpair" my account from these other devices.
I have my iphone as a device as well as my desktop, but recently someone's HTC one has appeared on my device list and I cannot get rid of it, I don't know who they are but their playlists keep appearing in my music selections and I am not interested in their selections at all, do I really have to delete everything and start again!
I've tried loggin off of every device, and then logging back on, and it doesn't help...actually discovered someone's chromecast in my neighborhood that I don't even know.
This help article could be useful for people with unwanted devices in their list, but I'm not sure about how useful it would be for deleting a duplicate device. I hope this can help somebody, at least!
