Hiya. Can you just confirm whether spotify loads correctly with wifi turned off, in other words over mobile data network?

Thanks, so it sounds like something is blocking communications over wifi. I assume that other apps can access the internet normally over your wifi connection. Are you able to test if it works over a different wifi connection? Are there any security features built into your router which you could try turning off temporarily and is UPnP enabled?

Unfortunately I have to retract my earlier statement. I've done some further investigation and the app only works intermittently over mobile data. Please find below a screenshot of the same problem when the app was running over mobile data&colon;

I also tested the app on a secure wifi connection and an open connection. Same problem unfortunately!

This is pretty odd. What's the icon in the top left of your screen capture out of interest - not one I recognise.
