cannot download spotify for android

[ndubash]

Hi, I am currently in the US for an extended period, although I live in a country where spotify is not available yet. I downloaded it fine on my PC, but I cannot do so on my Android phone. I get a message from the app store that spotify is not available in my country. But I am on an American connection, and my credit card registered on google store is american. How can I use spotify while here?

Thanks.

Hi,

It sounds like your Google Play Store's cache still thinks you're outside the US. I found these suggestions for clearing that out:

1) Sign into your Google Wallet account to manage your payment methods (https://wallet.google.com/manage/paymentMethods)

2) Delete all of your payment methods from Google Wallet except for the US one.

3) Open the Play Store and navigate to any item available for download

4) Click to begin a download until you reach the "Accept and buy" screen (no need to complete the purchase)

5) Close the Play Store and clear data for the Google Play Store application (Settings > Apps > Google Play Store > Clear Data) or clear your browser cache

6) Re-open the Play Store. You should now see the Play Store that matches your default payment instrument's billing country.

You can download the apk (Android Installer) directly from Spotify using the url below: This will allow you to install Spotify and hopefully start using it while abroad.
