Wireless Sync from Android to PC not working

cybermaniac — Thu, 04 Apr 2013 15:42:18 GMT

Hello,

Since the last update, I have not been able to sync wirelessly (via Wifi from PC to Android), so that I can sync my local tracks.

Enabling the wifi on my phone, my device does not show up on the desktop (windows 7, ethernet) client. This used to work prior to this update.

Any ideas?

Hi,

Have you tried disabling your firewall/antivirus temporarily? I found mine (Kaspersky antivirus) blocks the 2 from connecting. Make sure Spotify is not in offline mode.

Try a quick clean reinstall if it still doesn't work.

No software firewall installed, but I shall give the good ol' uninstall and reinstall a try.

Try restarting your phone.

I have had this problem now and again even before this latest update. When it gets itself into this state where the desktop client refuses to recognise the phone, the only way I have found to fix it is with a reboot of the phone.

Unfortunately no go on reinstalling desktop (or Android) app, and restart of phone unfortunately didn't help.

Turned off AV temporarily as well, but still nada unfortunately
