Question

I try to connect to spotify from android phone with their spotify android lib.
Using phone’s wifi connection.

Logs:

I have a strong feeling that you’re not clearing out your variables before making the connection to the service. You need to memset all structures before initializing them; if there are uninitialized fields, they will probably be filled with “garbage” (ie, whatever was in the memory contents when the object was allocated) and cause libspotify to mistakenly believe that you have set a proxy to the service.
