Hello Everyone!
So today I went online to the google play store to download an app, and noticed there was a random device (Samsung GT-I9300) showing up in the drop down menu. I went to device manager and it says it was registered 4 days ago with T-Mobile. There are a number of issues with this:
1) I'm on Telus
2) I don't own a Samsung GT-I9300.. I only own an htc one and nexus 7.
Both my htc one and nexus 7 show up in the list just fine, but there is still this random phone connected to my account. Should I be concerned? And if so, what should I do? Is there a way to remove it, not just hide it?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Did you edit your build.prop to try and change which device the Play Store thinks you have?

Then unless you've given access to someone knowingly, it would be a good idea to change your password.
I suppose you can contact Google after doing that and ask for more information.

Yeah I already changed it.. Thanks!
This recently happened to me and freaked me out too. Until I did a bit of research and backtracked my timeline a bit. Turns out it was Bluestacks on windows. So if you recently installed and logged into your google account on the bluestacks player, this is the device that will be added.
I hope that helps any other future googlers

Mine is still set at android, I tried restoring to default awhile back thinking maybe I accidently changed something but that didn't work either
Im sure there will be another update out soon to fix these issues. They have been quick to fix lately. No more contact sync options either, on my phone at least. Almost feels like a broken app on my phone right now.

I guess from years of rooting and changing roms and such the Google Play website shows hundreds of apps installed on my device that of course aren't.
By using Google Play on my phone and going to ALL I was able to painfully manually delete many of them but after a certain point it stops loading very old apps and no longer gives me an option to remove them from the list resulting in the website showing wrong results.
I Googled a solution but found nothing anyone here have any ideas?

To which Play Store webpage are you referring, "My Orders"? What exactly would you like to do?

My apps is what the OP is referring to. The only way to delete them that I have found is one by one. One of the true PIA's of the Play Store.

I've often wondered this as well. It'd be nice if the store would only display 90 days of download recency. It'd be even better if you could sub-cat the downloads by device (if you've had multiple).

Or something as simple as an option in settings to remove apps that are unistalled from the My Apps list.

I agree.
There should be an option within the Store to sync the device you're on @ that time and show what's been installed/uninstalled from Play Store for that specific device.
Play website leaves a lot to be desired. Lets not make light of OCD. People who genuinely suffer from it have a really bad time

I don't know who that's directed to but I have ocd and don't see anyone making light of it.
Anyway I don't even mind removing apps one by one but it seems after you go back several years time (on your phone mind you under ALL) it stops loading very old apps and there is just no way to remove them at that point.

OK I apologise then. I thought YOU were making light of OCD. You know, the whole "If I don't do xxx then I will die" kind of OCD (of which I am sure you know, there is no other). I'm sorry to hear you have that. My suggestion would be not to visit the play website. It's definitely preferable to feeling you will die because it is untidy.
Although the way you phrased this thread, it reads more like "I like things tidy" than actually having OCD, so again I apologise
No problem. It's not like this is keeping me up at night but it is something that has been on my min d to fix for sometime.
My mother is using spice coolpad mi-496 (http://www.gsmarena.com/spice_mi_496_spice_coolpad_2-5865.php) this phone is mentioned in this threat "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2532192".
It is a cheap Indian brand phone. I myself owes HTC wildfire buzz.
well first of all i am not a new to android. i knows many things like basic troubleshooting and all that.
well directly coming on the issue. I am unable to open the Google play app on this phone. I registered two brand new id's on this phone but still in vain i am unable to get any solution. I even completely wiped everything twice before making those id's but each and every time i get the same error "server error"..
well i try to sign in on the Google talk but in vain i am unable to log in there also. i cleared number of times the data of Google play services and play store and manually tried to installed a updated version of play store but then it gives error connection no available ".
well i don't think there is something left when i clear whole phone and tried to register with new id's. i tried many troubleshooting threats on xda those are getting problems but i nowhere getting any solution so i decided to start a new threat. well i even can't root the phone because still is 1 month old and it is warranty. so want to retain it. i tried to took the logcat from the phone. i have it but i don't know whether it contains any sensitive information so unable to share it here. well are there any solutions for this issue.

Hi, if you installed the wrong google apps, that could be a problem. if you understand what i mean? You need to get the google apps for specific Roms if you have a custom rom. Search on xda forum for them. Example: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2397942 :good:
I can not give you the links to external websites, but search for "gapps".
:good::good:
That happened with my galaxy s4, i've flashed wrong gapps and could not login to my account.:crying:
now i'm good after searching the answer on web with the help af xda forum.:good::highfive:

well yeah i know what you are talking about but the phone is non rooted and it is in warranty
. so i didn't did anything with it !!!
well, then i do not know what have you to do with that. try to go in the shop where is the phone from and speak with stuff from there.
Sorry for misunderstanding you.
Try factory reset (copy all your data to PC before that). If it still makes troubles, bring it back to service.
Well yeah

Good evening!
If you're reading this, then you for sure know what Spotify is. We all love listening to music and, ugh, that's the synonym of Spotify!
Unfortunately, this work could be used for two fully opposite reasons, one of which is against the XDA rules, so I had no other choice but to close this thread (and remove links). I hope you understand me and sorry for the inconvenience.
Feel free to read the history below. It was a fun ride!
Time ago, the app landed on our lovely Android platform for both tablets and phones and honestly who wasn't excited?
Soon after, forced shuffle mode and limited number of skips were also introduced and I agree that there must be a reason to purchase Premium after all. Luckily, this restriction was not enabled on tablets, but a problem that appears is that far from all tablets are detected as ones - mainly the "smaller" ones. This [bug/miss-code] activates the restriction on your tablet, and as a fix was needed from either side, here was my solution.
This mod was created for all those "small tablets" that are incorrectly recognized so that you can use Spotify the way it was meant to be used.

Regarding Facebook log in issue:
The signature/private hash (or not) of this app was not matching the original one Spotify had registered on Facebook. Absolutely understandable since this was a modified version.
As suggested by Romain12345 (thank you!), can you log in with your Facebook credentials instead of clicking on the "Log in with Facebook" button.

What!? I didnt know thats even possible! Spotify app for android got 100000x more useful for me. I can finally skip forever and even fast forward the music. Its sooo much better. You deserve a medal and million likes. :laugh:
Op pls can you upload this mode in a diff site cos mega is down. And secondly can you help me with little explanation as to how to install this or all I need is to just install the apk after the download. I haven't installed spotify b4 that's why . Thanks for the response in advance

MEGA is never down, it only needs the app for android if you want to download from phone. That's the reason I personally won't mirror.
About installing, you need to have "Unknown sources" enabled in your Security settings. Then just open the APK and install it as normal. If you still can't figure it out check YouTube for thousands of tutorials.
Server is down

@ViRb3 It doesn't work on gingerbread android again...
I think it's a problem of apk version because on Google play it was written that the version varies with device.
So please If you give me your email, I'll send the last apk version of spotify compatible with gingerbread to you.

OP I could possibly kiss you all day and it wouldn't be enough. Worked like a charm.
Also the server seemed to be down only in parts around the world. So anyone being unable to connect simply use a VPN. Works perfectly with a VPN.
Though it is currently up again.
Op finally I got it downloaded. Thanks so much but I have a question. Is it possible for me to download for offline for free with this mod?

Seems to work pretty well for me, I'm in Australia, so missing some features. I had to get a second Alexa apk (from google) to enable skills etc, but works well with my Harmony hub (turn on TV/music etc). Understands my accent a bit better than Google too
