Issue with Facebook Login on Android - going round in circles

Solved!

Issue with Facebook Login on Android - going round in circles

Hi,

 

Hope someone can help.

 

When loading Spotify on my phone it asks for my login details, I select Login via Facebook.  It connects to Facebook, logs me in, briefly shows me my downloaded playlists and then immediately bounces me back to a Spotify ad which says “Discover Great Music with your friends” and asks me to login again.

 

Steps I took are:

Selected Spotify on my Galaxy S2

Chose “login via Facebook”

 

What I expected to happen is for Spotify to load and give me my playlists to choose from

 

I have been through the “Troubleshooting Spotify on Android” and followed it pretty much to the letter.  The only deviation I have had to make is that I cannot manually delete the com.spotify.mobile.android.ui folder.  It seems the uninstall process deletes it.

 

I removed the battery as part of the restart process.

 

I have read the connection troubleshooting tips be don’t think they are relevant

 

Device is a Galaxy S2 running Android 4.0.4

 

I think I have a Premium account

 

Space left on phone is 10.8gb of 11.5gb

 

Space left on external SD card is 1.83gb of 1.86gb

 

Device is not rooted

 

No Custom ROM

 

External SD card NOT set as storage location

 

Have always used Spotify version from the App Store

 

Issue is common across both WiFi and 3g

 

Can’t get Spotify version – it’s whatever is on the App store today

 

Mobile provider is 3 (UK)

 

I use Facebook to login – I have changed my Facebook password and deleted all the registered devices

 

Thanks in advance

Hi guys. When you see that second login screen select 'I'm new to Spotify' and it should take you straight in assuming your login the first time worked OK

Listening on Windows, Android and Sonos. Tweeting it at @davelicence

Thank you for that - wish I had tried it earlier

 

The message that comes up on the phone is misleading and suggests that you are not logged in and are going around in circles

 

Thanks again - much appreciated

Hey,

 

I just got a replacement HTC one phone and my spotify account does not log in. Basically when I try to log on through FB it  goes to "spotify would like to access...." pop up then bounces me back to log on screen. Tried unistalling, resetting password with no avail. Frustrating as hell

 

Any help would be appreciated

Yup, have the latest version installed

Just to check is that the latest normal version or are you part of the Alpha/Beta?
