My Question or Issue
Have 2 Android Echo Dot with linked Spotify premium accounts connected. When I want to change the playback device in the desktop app one of the dots seems unavailable. However in the same time from browser session the dot seems available.
Yes, latest version of everything. Logoff logon performed, etc.
Hey @waces,
Thanks for reaching out to the Community.
We're sorry to hear that you're having issues with your Echo Dot devices. We recommend that you give the following steps a go:
If that doesn't do the trick, it's worthwhile to perform a clean reinstall of both the Spotify and Alexa apps. That way possible damaged files that may cause such connectivity issues will get removed. You can find instructions on how to do this for Spotify here.
Hope this helps. Keep us posted on how it goes.
Unlink/relink doesn't matter (however it's not related with the linking as in the web player works fine)
Clean install performed, nothing changed (also not related with Alexa as the issue is with Spotify)
Relinink done, issue is the same. Not appearing as connectable in the desktop app or in the mobile, however can be connected from webplayer
Hey @waces,
Thanks for getting back to us.
Just to make sure that we're on the same page- you reinstalled the Alexa app as well, right? We recommend to carry out this step if you haven't to make sure that the app integrity isn't compromised.
If that's the case, have you tried fully powering of and unplugging your devices? This is a simple but often overlooked step. We recommend also restarting your router and if possible test out the connection also with another network - perhaps a mobile hotspot could be a convenient solution?
Keep us posted! We'll be happy to lend a hand if you need more help.
Hey @waces,
Thanks for your post.
If the connection works fine with another account, it would indicate that the issues you're having stem from your account. In that case we recommend that you create a new one with a different email here. You can then follow these steps on how to transfer your music collection so that nothing gets lost.
Hope this helps. We'll be here if you have any questions.
thanks will give it a try however really don't think that's a solution (creating new accounts each and every time doesn't looks a good approach). I'm more interested about the root cause. If it's acocunt realted then the problem must exists in the web player as well however it works fine in the web based player with no issues.
And one sidenote. If i select "Everywhere" (=all echo dots) in the desktop app it plays perfectly on both.
Hey there you, Yeah, you! 😁 Welcome - we're glad you joined the Spotify Community! While you here, let's have a fun game and get…
