Android TV auto powers on any time I open Spotify on my Android phone and start playing a song

by applesandsynths

So this is a strange issue. If I have my Nvidia Shield TV powered off and I open Spotify on my Android phone and start playing a song, the Nvidia Shield TV automatically powers on, resuming whatever it was doing prior to powering off. For example, it may power on automatically and resume playing a YouTube video from before.

I've tried deleting the Spotify app from the Shield TV, thinking maybe it had something to do with Spotify Connect despite playing the song on the Android phone and not via the Shield/Spotify Connect. Despite Spotify now being deleted from the Shield, the same behaviour persists with auto power on of the Shield and TV.

It's worth nothing that I have two Nvidia Shields and this issue always and only happens with just the one Shield.

Wondering if anyone else has this issue or has seen this and is aware of a fix?

Thanks for any help!

Have you tried reinstalling spotify on your phone?

Seems like it's casting to your Shield TV by default.. reset the app so that the settings are back to default and may be you won't face it.

How about keeping the shield unplugged?

Turn off HDMI-CEC or whatever your TV might call it.
