Spotify not showing album art - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Can someone who uses Spotify confirm whether they can see album art in the app or the notification shade of the lockscreen. I can't see it anywhere. I'm wondering if KitKat broke it.

It hasn't shown art for me since their last update for some reason

I see it on my note 3. So it wasn't even showing on a phone with jelly bean?

Confirmed. Got my Nexus 5 yesterday and Spotify isn't showing any album art.

And Spotify is not the best at quickly updating its Android app.

Confirmed on Nexus 5, there is already a thread in the Spotify communty http://community.spotify.com/t5/Help-Android/Android-4-4-Spotify-doesnt-load-images/td-p/576494.

I wrote them

Yes, it has to be KitKat. I wrote Spotify service a few days ago and they replied that they're working on it.
The exact words were:
Hello Oliver,
Thanks for that.
Think you are absolutely right and thank you for getting in touch.
I have passed this on to the developers and we will look to fix it as soon as possible.
When this happens we send our best techies to the secret laboratory under an active volcano.
They wont leave till its fixed.
We get King Kong to guard the door so no one comes to distract the with awesome new music.
Kindest regards

Makes sense. When I notice an issue that im repeatedly answering, I write a stock response and share it with my colleagues so we don't waste time writing the same thing a million times each.
I use the same approach on xda

Same here, though mine was a more assorted story (tapatalk 4 forced me out of the beta, bought the paid app first thing this AM and that's when I noticed problems... Initially blamed tapatalk).

Haha.. i reloaded everything over to my new Note3 & the app didn't work properly & took me a while to realise it wasn't something i done wrong ... very confusing though as the app stopped working at exactly the same time & still shows blank as above.

Yep, I switched to the paid xda at the same time. Also bad luck, I guess.
I sent a Web report... If it is just us we'll know soon (I hope). Still shocked there isn't any message, nor a ton of "noise". Odd.

[app][game] QuizUp [Beta][v0.9.4/LIVE]

Only an hand full of the beta testers seem to post bugs. Post bugs you find here so I can relay them and move things along for them.
I'm not responsible for anything not working. it IS a beta, after all.

Its the real deal. It just wouldn't log in using the account I use on my iPad. Worked like a charm when I signed up for a new account. Guess accounts are white listed. There is an update though. If you can please update and re upload.
It's definitely not a virus lol... But after playing a few rounds, i seem to either be playing against SUPER stupid people or bots... Im assuming the later... I don't have access to the newer betas as of now. If I get it, I'll post it or if someone else has access, they can share it.

Working here as well. I can see 2 of my friends, not sure it's only the ones who are using the Android(beta) , but sure guessing it is, cause i know alot of iFone-friends got the app.
It seems like the progress from my iOS devices don't sync over.. Shame
Anyone got the update ? Please upload it. Mine is terribly slow. No friends and I always play against bots. There's a lot of topics missing too. From the way the beta is. The official app is going to be very late.

The lates beta is i believe 1.12 , i hope someone leaks it, cause as said, the 0.84 is pretty horrible and playing against bots honestly is boring, im on the waiting list for the beta, i hope i'll get in soon.
Did someone say update?

Live version. No bots. Post bugs and I can relay them... There are a few people in the beta but only a handful of them seem to post bugs... This can help move things along.

Just had a freeze in the first turn of a game. After I answered the bar went up but didn't go to the next round. Also I can't see any of my friends that have quizup on iPhone but I assume that that is on purpose/known.
Error can't connect to quizup, I assume it's down, anyone experiencing the same?
edit: back up and working. Haven't experienced any bugs yet.

Facebook Updated UI

I own a Nexus 5, the thing is I just installed Facebook on it.
But, I still get the old skeuomorphic detailed UI.
My friend has another Phone, and he has the Flat UI for the app.
Both the apps are on the same version.
Can anyone give me an insight to what's happening?
Thanks
The design is server controlled. Part of their beta program. They randomly select people with the update design. They'll shortly make it public after sometime I guess

I get failed to connect to forum please contact forum administrator along those lines. It seems to be getting slightly better but it still bad. If I keep refreshing a lot I can load the pages.. But it sucks because I know it's not on our side, almost certainly with XDA. I changed my IP just in case by spoofing my Mac on my router but still nothing. Other forums work well. It's unfortunately a big problem that only a handful of us are experiencing. Waiting game til someone hears our cries for help I suppose.

Thank you good sir. Didn't know that was there even after looking I'll admit. So it seems like a lot of other people are having the same problem. It definitely makes dealing with something easier when you're not the only one and saves from having to troubleshoot.
Edit : can confirm its something between XDA and our ISPs.
The problem I described happens on Xfinity Comcast Internet.
However, the problem does not occur at all on LTE T-Mobile.

Edge Panels/Feeds

Since the Samsung Galaxy App Store is horrible when it comes to finding what you are looking for I'm making this OP to discuss/share Edge panels/feeds. If you have one that you find useful, or jsut want tot alk about them feel free to post below. I would like to see what types of extra functionality we can get from the edge besides media controls and other small things (edge feed)
I'm looking to try new things ones assuming there are more than the half dozen or so on the Galaxy App Store. I would like a edge feed for Google news, or maybe Google fit of possible.
I have there already a question. I saw in some Videos about the Phone a Football App but i couldnt find one on my own. Is there something like this?

What carrier? Many of the U.S. carriers delete and/or add pre-installed apps. Especially Verizon. Might want to search on Yahoo and see if you can find anything.
Got the phone this morning and here are my thoughts on the Edge...
I'm coming from an LG G3 which is the same size screen but because of the Edge the Samsung screen is definitely small but I guess it makes the phone narrower too.
Now, on to the Edge panels...
Why are there only 5 spots for contacts when you can have two columns for other things?
My feeling is the Edge panels are just a gimmick as I have been using an app called SwipePad for years and it gives me short-cuts at a swipe and very customisable too with add ons.
