Spotify ins update ..message your device not compatible Samsung y, Gbread spotify 1.0.1.986

B. Troubleshooting

  1. Uninstall the Spotify app.  Done
  2. IMPORTANT: Completely turn off your device, then turn it back on again did this even removing the battery
  3. If you can remove the battery, do so now, then put it back in, then turn your device back on
  4. Using a file explorer app on your device, or your computer with your device connected over USB:
    Look for a folder called com.spotify.mobile.android.ui C
    It's usually located in \Phone\Android\data\ (or in the folder you chose on your SD card when you started Spotify the first time)
    Delete the com.spotify.mobile.android.ui folder(s)..... Have not been able to do this as I can not get access either with file explorer or indeed with usb cable.
  5. Re-install Spotify
    DO NOT install an old version. Please use the latest version from the Play Store............Done
  6. If you're having connection issues (which includes not finding your device in the desktop client), please check our connection troubleshooting tips.
    You can also check to see if you can try different Access Point Names settings (under settings, mobile networks)
  7. Start Spotify, log in and have a look if your issue was resolved Once re installed the application tries to download update and then tells me My device a samsung Y is not compatible
  8. (If your issue is related to entering text, like a login or password, please make sure you're using the default Android keyboard and not a third party like Swiftkey or alternative like Swype. These apps are good, but sometimes they add extra spaces and such.)
  9. If your issue is related to tracks, please try changing the sync quality. If you were using something higher than normal, set it to normal. If you were using normal, set it to high or extreme. But do keep in mind that syncing in higher quality can use up your dataplan, so try to use WiFi if possible; and test with just a few tracks.
  10. If the issue remains, go to C

Hi. Unfortunately the recent relese won't run on ARM 6 devices such as yours. The latest update on this situation from Spotify is here.

Hi Joe.

unfortunate but thank you very much for the quick response.

everything i just seen there was gibberish to me,all i want is a straight forward answer,no gobbledegook,

What a load of **bleep**!  I have cancelled my premium subscription and I WILL NOT RESUBSCRIBE until SPOTIFY **bleep** well makes its stupid product load onto an SD or SD1 card on my darn phone.
