spotify on s5830i? possible at all? - Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Dear all, I have recently turned my s5830i into a dedicated music player with an sd card. I also want to use my spotify on it, but the android version is not supported. I tried an app called market helper, but it did not help much. Is there a definitive way around this compatibility issue and can you describe it or point out a guide for this newbie?
I am aware that the most posts are ancient here, but I would love to use this otherwise idle phone as a music player. Thanks in advance.

Use older version
I never used Spotify because I rather always download music so I can listen it anytime. So now I tried it to see if it works so:
You can download older Spotify version from here: ht*tps://apk.*cafe/download?file_id=918948/spotify-music
(I can't add links because I am "New user" so copy that and delete added stars)
I tried it (first scanned with eset, you never know) and it works well on, it it's just nothing for me.
For some reason I can't upload screenshot and app doesn't work, but Spotify works

it works but lags

Thank you, it works but the music stream is interrupted a lot as if it cannot load properly or something like ram is not enough (nothing seems overloaded on the phone though). Probably, no solution there, it was more like an experiment. Thanks again for your time.

id3tag and froyo//no apn to be shown with eplus//usb not working

hello everyone out there
i have those 3 problems named above!
i have them no matter what build i use (froyo x or frx04)
with tmo sim everything is fine! eplus even if entered manually isnt showing up apn!
and id3tag:
in music player i can hear all the songs (with some lags when switching between lots of songs and sometimes while playing)
but 1200 out of my 1600 songs are listed without artist(!)
any way to solve this?
using cubed doesnt change a thing =(
and now usb:
i can attach it to my notebook and usb debuging is activating. android is asking if i want to copy files from computer but when i press the filetransfair button (i suppose its like "mount or charge" under donut!) nothing happens it just does nothing.
everything else is running gr8 as i dont use the cameras
-> its much faster and fluider than windows mobile on this phone! (i use only titanium from latest energy rom but hey it laggs!
sense is too heavy for me i hate such interfaces so i'm staying with froyo hoping for an nand release (=

This problem is discussed here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=922868
It seems to be eplus specific. For me the data connection only works on first boot...
i had this on my kaiser tooo and somehow another froyo build solved the issue so there must be a workaround!
I APPLIED STARTUPCLEANER 2.0
AND disabled everything expect google framework (on bootup)
and what happened?
EPLUS 3 APNS working 3g
realy
is this meaning, google mediascanner (i disabled before it started working), i preventing eplus apns?
anyone with epus please try this out!
Yeah the idv3 tag is the most annoying for me 90% of new music now is idv3 and pretty much my whole collection of lik 150 songs is all idv3. But I doubt we'll get someone fix it as I suppose atm people find camera functionality and such higher priority issues.
Yup have the same issue with my music, only a select number of songs show the artist, and I'm not exactly sure why. As I manually edited all my artist names and such the same way (right click/properties in windows explorer on my PC) and some show up while others dont.

There's two versions of ID3 tags. Have you guys all made sure that you're propagating both versions?
Tags
Use mp3tag and convert all tags to ID3v2.3 ISO-8859-1, because UTF tags not supported here.
Lost titles and tracks skipping solved.

There's v1 and v2 tags... This is more of an mp3-related topic/issue rather than an Android issue.
Oh I understand there are different version of the tags but what do you mean by propagate both versions?

[Q] Wow the Atrix has been a PAIN! [[HELP]]

So I now use my Moto Atrix as my music player like I did with my Captivate. The only problem is, is that my music player randomly stops in the middle of the song. I go back to the player to press play and the song starts over......
this is one of MANY problems that I have been having with the Atrix.
PLEASE HELP!!!!!
Not sure what that issue is but you might want to try another music program. I messed around with the included player for a short bit but I got winamp and I really like it so far. There's quite a few other good options out there.
Hope you're able to figure something out.

Do you know of anything like the player on the iPod touch? Or something that works as good as the Samsung Android music player?
Edit: THANK YOU!!! Winamp is working amazingly and the problem has been fixed.
Edit: Continues to have the same damn problem....... f**k the Atrix
Still having the same issue with winamp? That seems odd... what file types are you using?

Do me a favor and post your bug in this thread on their support forum:
https://supportforums.motorola.com/thread/45468?tstart=30
I've got the same problem.But one thing I am sure is that when you use task manager to kill background program,don't kill those you are not familiar with.I tried several times to find out what's impacting the music player,but finally,it turns out to be obscure.I mean when I erase everything from the kill list,music wont stop in sleep mode,but I cannot prescisely tell who are they.It seems that several programs together work on it.Most suspect those whoes string having 'media' in them.

Some people just react and blame instead of trying to find the solution.
I went through that once due to a task killer. I ignored the music app from the task killer, but eventually realized the task killer was not needed!

I now blame the Auto Kill ---- I don't have the Music app in the Auto Kill and I thought that the phone was acting dumb, so I guess the Auto Kill was being a little b*tch
Don't know if this is a fix for everyone but I was having the same problem. I removed the gallery app from the auto-kill list and it fixed the issue. I tested it several times by adding and removing the gallery app to and from the auto-kill list. Every time it was on the list, the music would cut out after sleep. Every time I removed it, everythnig functioned mormally.
ok i did my own tests today adding programs to auto-kill list and playing back audio in between. the playback issue only appears when the screen go dark . i focused first on apps that in my opinion had nothing to do with media and after all this time consuming process i found that adding certain programs creating the problem . here is the DO NOT list and hope this work for all of ya
1) gallery
2) purchased media*
3) music
* im sure this folder was created after sync with my itunes . i used motorola media link app ( free download from motorola site) which work like charm on my mac pro adding exactly that i checked. keep in mind that your case could be different depending on type of sync or adding media method so its up to you finding the correct folder. now if you sync via the mentioned moto app you maybe having other folders on list like podcasts or whatever you decided add to your phone storage . i cant confirm this because only folder i synced was purchased media . post your findings... peace!
why are you guys even bothering auto killing apps? thats a big no-no
+1 auto-kill = BAD JUJU
If your going to use a TaskManager, use it only to manually stop rogue processes or apps. Never let it run on its own.
I used OSMonitor to kill off apps as needed. There's tons out there, but only use one that doesn't run automatically.
Dude, seriously, are you 12 or something?
Grow up man!!

Agreed... I'm not sure why you feel the need to kill apps on a phone with a gig of RAM. The only thing it does is kills your battery when you have apps that continually try to restart, then the task killer kills them.
After running my phone without a reboot since Monday, and NO task killing, I still have around 250MB free, and have no problems running Dungeon Defenders, etc. No lag, no anything. Mind you, I run a live wallpaper, as well.

[Q] Radio.com APK?

I'm trying to listen to my favorite radio station from my childhood, but can only get them on Radio.com. If I listen in the browser window, I can't do anything else on my Nook, as the music stops when I leave the browser window.
Radio.com is available for free in the Market, but Nook Tablets aren't compatible. Does anyone have an APK I could sideload?
Thanks!
10 minutes on Google etc. yielded this link. http://www.umnet.com/download-software/15939-Radiocom_v10_Free
Thanks! I spent quite a bit of time on Google last night, looking for this, and was only able to find it on FirstLoad, but they wanted my credit card information to download it.
Pls let us know if it installs and performs to your liking.
It installed fine and runs, but stops playing after a little while. Not sure yet if it's a connection issue or an app issue. I'm using my wifi at work, which isn't always reliable. I'll know better when I try to use it at home.
I'll update this weekend.
UPDATE: So, I'm thinking it's definitely a connection issue, as it's been playing now for a couple of hours with no hiccups. I'm pleased, because I'd read really horrible things about it. As it's the only game in town for listening to WCBS-FM in NYC, though (and I'm in Albany), I had to try it. Glad I did. Thanks again!
UPDATE 2: 4:00 PM, and still going strong. Awesome!
Does anybody have the apk file available without having to download and install "download manager?"
I didn't have to download that, and I don't even know what it is. Per the instructions at the page listed above, I went to m.umnet.com and entered 615939 in the code field.

Thanks, that took care of it. I transfered to the SD card and installed with Root Explorer (which I use to browse eventhough my NT isn't rooted). When I view files this way, I'm given the option to install. Looking at it through the NT My Files doesn't give an install option.
I got it installed and all it does is force close. 1.4.0 rooted.
Using Tune In Radio and it works well.

[APP] GMusicFS

***NOTE: I take absolutely no credit for developing this app or supporting it. Flash at your own risk.
That being taken care of, most of you on this board know how much I love music and when I saw this posted on xda's news, I had to grab it and share it ASAP. Summed up, we have a storage issue without and external sdcard. This app allows all your music stored on Google Music to be mounted on a virtual hard drive on your sdcard. This allows a number of popular players to play all your music stored on the cloud as if its on your internal memory. I now have my N7 library full of over 5000 songs with Beats, DSPManager v2, and N7's EQ working in perfect harmony!!!
Just use the help tab within the app to get the settings right for whatever player you're going to be using. I'd donate to this guy right now if I could.

I'm not sure if it will work with stock music app. If there's a setting in there to tell it where to look for music and to force a refresh of the library, it might. I am sure that it does stream from Google Play, though. It just sets up a database the local player can read on a virtual hard drive. The music still comes from the cloud (Google Play), so you'll use up your 2gigs quickly streaming.
This made me think of the potential of this app. Once he gets the bugs squashed, I bet he can make it so you create say a "Music" folder on your Dropbox, Box, GDrive account and upload your music in there. He can make it read those files and create a database as well. This app has HUGE potential.

Speaking of HTC devices, do not use GMusicFS with HTC device until I have found a fix for the slow scan issue.
This issue can make your Google Music daily quota go over limit, which will makes streaming impossible from any client until the quota is resetted (in less than 24h since it is a daily quota).
I have added this warning in the first post of this topic.

After the sync completed on mine, I noticed it was scanning, and stuck at 0% for a long time. It seemed strange, but thought I would let it finish. I went to look at the OT and saw he had posted that. I instantly stopped the scan, and will wait for the next revision.

yea i only have 1318 songs in my google music library and the first run through, it took 2hours to scan and got stuck on 80% ... then again on 5% then again on 67% ... all that scanning and requesting/accessing data from the google server has limited me out for the day.
according to websites :http://www.droid-life.com/2012/03/21/have-your-reached-a-streaming-limit-in-google-music-yet/
"We have been told that there is a daily streaming limit, but that it has been set so high that the majority of users will likely never hit it. "

I have no idea what the scan is for and it was taking forever, so I reboot at like 2%. It hasn't tried to sync since (or I just haven't checked recently if it has) and I haven't had an issue.

while mine scanned, it added the files to the music player. id check as it was at 5% and have x number of tracks ...check again when it was at 50% and have 10 times as many tracks.
just letting yall know. for us with HTC devices, he has fixed the issues of the slow scanning. we did some more testing and finally got me working with a test build. i think he is going to be updating the OP with this soon
scanned all 1300+ songs in 2 minutes 14 seconds (where it took over 2 hours yesterday) this was 'htc device specific' i did see others who had slow scanning issues as well.
Thanks for the update. I'm really looking forward to using this app.

I did get a full scan in this time (thanks J.) However, when I initiated a new music scan in N7 player, it FC'd. I'll mess with it later.
After the force crash I rebooted and music library was completely empty. I forced a scan for music within N7 and everything came back. All is good now.

Spotify shuffle only

I'm having an issue with the Spotify app on Tab S 10.5, suddenly only works on shuffle mode. Anyone who had this problem know a way to fix it?
Until last week I could select any song I wished normally, tried unnistalling the app or clearing cache but nothing changed. Google did not help much to find an answer.
I'm using IronRom v2.5.
Anyway any help is apreciated.
Very strange considering you are using a tablet. Anyway easy solution. Make sure you are rooted, install xposed for Lolipop and look for a module called "SpotifySkip" This will force spotify into tablet mode (also works on any phone) which will allow you to to choose any song rather than be forced to shuffle.
After some search on Spotify foruns I found this is happening on some other devices, mostly on Kindle Fire.
Instead of waiting for a fix this module should do the trick.
Thanks for the help.
EDIT: Actually the module didn't change a think, I tried other modules such TabletMetrics bus still no result.
My solution is unnistalling the app and try not to think about it.

Yeah it was the ROM's fault.

Looking on spotify help forum this seems to be a problem that affects a lot of devices.
The only solution I found is using stock ROM without root or using a older version (4.0.0) of the app.
