Spotify is now releast Official

Spotify is now releast Official http://www.spotify.com/en/mobile/overview/install-for-android/

Yes!
This made my monday great
(endelig har svenskene fått til noe bra)

I don't (and won't) have the premium service but I installed it anyway!

Thx for the news, but it seems like for free version you need an invit?
Does anyone have one more?

You have to pay to use it on your android.. (or iphone)

is it just me or is it pretty laggy, esp pulling up the playing now screen?

I have a premium account but the DAMN market won't give me Spotify... it doesn't show up. Just because I'm in Finland? Aaaaargh!

Hmm, it should show up. Try to clear the cache..
It's a free app..

I am in Finland and tried this today, works great! I seem to recall adding external links to these posts is forbidden, so if you need the Spotify APK file to install on your Android, head over to the Swedish forums (of a site called Swedroid) and read the threads about the new release - somebody put up a link to the apk-file there.
I listened to Spotify on my way to work today and it's awesome! No lag at all, even though I always go through areas with really bad HSDPA reception...
Edit: I see the first post in this thread has a link and since the spotify client is free, this shouldn't be considered piracy (?). Mods, remove the link if you are in doubt. http://www.megaupload.com/?d=MNTO3B06. Sorry.

Looking forward to giving this a whirl.

"The mobile service has been made available exclusively to Spotify Premium members in the majority of our launch countries including the UK, Sweden, Spain, France and Norway. Spotify is not yet available on Android Market in Finland."
This sucks. But thanks jayjay, will try that out!

Simply awesome, doesn't feel like a beta at all. On t-mobile stock rom and the app is snappy with no lag. Works fine over hsdpa. offline playlists are great but still dont know if theres a limit on how much can be downloaded or if they have a time limit.
Only gripe so far is that the t&c say that a day pass gives you access but wouldn't let me until I bought full premium.

Yeah the £9.99 monthly fee is putting me off to be honest. Another tenner on top of my monthly contract, no ta.

Stick to ripping off the artists eh?

Nah, just use my own MP3's.

Not everyone steals music! He could have ripped them from a CD, or paid to download them from somewhere else.

I always buy CD's, then import them into my Itunes.
I seem to be one of the few people who still likes to buy CD's for the album work, CD inserts etc

Oh, never mind my previous "secret spotify apk link". It seems you can download the Android apk straight from the spotify website, which makes much more sense than some free download service.

Apparently the artists aren't getting anything from Spotify anyway. Buying CD's or MP3's from iTunes/Amazon et al seems to be the only way to ensure the artist is compensated for their work. Which is pretty rubbish.

[Q] No Free Office App?

Well, I'm a bit disappointed. I've searched the forums here and branched out to Google as well and I cannot find a free app for editing Office files. If I just haven't found it yet, please point me in the right direction.
Every WM phone I've owned came with Office preinstalled and every Blackberry has come with Docstogo, both of which had editing capabilities right on the phone.
I'm a new Aria owner now and I just can't believe there isn't a free Office app. Maybe I've missed something?
Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.

Download Any Android Paid App For Free Using Applanet MOD EDIT AND YOU KNOW WHY

I'm not looking for anything illegal or stolen. I just can't believe there isn't a free app for the job or that AT&T couldn't spring $10 to load a version of an app capable of editing on such an expensive device.
Am I over looking something?
Thanks.

You can use google docs i think via mobile.

Thanks for the idea. I'd rather be able to edit files directly on my sd than to have to upload them, edit, then download again. I may have to resort to that if there simply isn't another way.
I still think it's utterly ridiculous to have to pay for the ability to edit or print for that matter (every winmo device I've had came with jetcet5), office documents on a freaking smart phone! What's so smart about it if basic office functions aren't available?
Thanks again.

Google Docs works for spreadsheets, but not docs? No edit capabilities for docs?

Microsoft Office on Android? A cab file? Does this run in an emulation layer or are you just being sarcastic?

I don't remember the iphone having any free office editing software either. It makes sense for winmo and blackberry to have this functionality since winmo is a MS platform and blackberry is a business platform. You could try oliveoffice editor it is free and allows you to edit doc/docx files.

Thank you!!! Finally an Office Package, that's FREE, w/editing capabilities! This is obviously still W.I.P., but definitely usable for my needs.
Why doesn't this package get more press? Folks should be raving about it here on the forums. Thanks again.

One reason may be fue to the size of thr Aria. I know I dont do a lot of document editing on this phone due to that.

[Q] iTunes port for Iconia?

Looking for a complete music manager i.e. iTunes, for my Iconia. Is this possible or is it out there?

I don't believe so but I've not had my tablet for very long. I used iSyncr and iSyncr WiFi to sync my music from itunes to the external SD card and use Player Pro to play the music.

I like WinAmp - simply because I can do WiFi sync from my PC to Tablet and Phone without wires or SD card swapping.
Just open Winamp on the PC and it shows my droid devices waiting for me to send music to.

•pukes all over thread title•

Yum.

Thanks to Torisen & pfc.joker for ideas. Music is the last hurdle in my conversion from everything iRelated

Currently giving Spotify a try
..and syncing my music as we speak. I will probably be able to give a better review later in the week after a bit of playtime.
Some features that drew me to it -
http://www.spotify.com/us/about/features/
...and no, I do not work for them. I too have been looking for something to consolidate music between all my devices.
Winamp was working pretty good for me, but wasn't doing so hot with the A500...
The stock Music browser is pretty and just okay, but not very powerful.
I'm hoping that the Spotify Android app can help me get all of it across all the devices...
More later!

Doubletwist is essentially itunes for android it works great

Someone made dreamscene working on Windows 8

Is someone here made Dreamscene to work on Windows 8. Dreamscene hack for windows 7 works but in windows 8, it won't work. Any ideas?

BUMP! I'd really appreciate it if this would somehow work... :victory:

you would think windows would support live wallpapers natively by now, and just disable the feature on lower end computers like they did with aero glas and windows 7. would make allot of users happy

Here you go-- http://www.animated-wallpaper.com/Video-Wallpaper/
Only trial but when it asks you to buy it after trial it will say something like buy with trial play.
Trial play allows you to complete an offer which requires about $2 and then you get the software instead of paying $20 directly for the Video Wallpaper.
IT DOES WORK WITH WINDOWS 8!

Such a misleading title... I came here expecting a working method, but just found a question :/ Perhaps add a question tag or a question mark?

The very basic reason for this issue is the support for the flash as the version of dreamscene on windows 8 currently doesn't works on the binaries of the new flash player there are several tools available in the name of DREAMSCENE ENABLER to enable compatibility of the new flash

I wish everyone would quit relying on Flash....the damn thing sucks, it always has, and the container **** is worse!!!!

[Q] Controlling the phone through windows

When I was in Korea I remember Samsung was advertising being able to see, use and control the phone through the windows application, but it was a windows only application. I can't remember the name of it (it's not mirrorcast or sharecast). And was wondering if anyone know about it. A google search has come up with nothing.

I use the app AirDroid sometimes: HERE. This one control ur smartphone via web :highfive:

Also there's Kies Air from here https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.samsung.swift.app.kiesair
Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

Thanks, I've used Airdroid before, but it's not quite what I was looking for. I had that app before and it was pretty seamless. Kies seems to be mostly just access to files and stuff.

do you mean this one perhaps?

That is EXACTLY what I was looking for... now to read up and figure out if you can use it with the GS4! Thanks!

Heh, it seems like you have to purchase the system.... and it says only works with Samsung PCs... seems a bit much will have to dig around to see.

Mobizen
Might want to try this, it's called Mobizen and works quite fantastically. Also it's free.
