Bro, is there a way to transfer music to the G Watch without All access pass and Play Music. In my country Google's music services are not available hence transfer to android option is not there in the settings. Therefore I am unable to transfer songs from the phone to the watch.
Please help.

You can simply do that via ADB.
Just enable USB Debugging on your watch connect it via USB to your PC and search how to correctly use "adb push" to transfer files
Can't give you a guide now sadly, I'm on my phone.

I have no idea how to do that but I am reading about it to know more. For some reason my LG G Watch is not installing drivers properly. I think I may need to download the entire SDK to use adb. But thanks for responding.

Here you can find a little guide how to do so over your Smartphone via Bluetooth. It's slow tho, only ~50KB/s so this would take a long time for larger files.
If you want to connect your SmartWatch directly via ADB and USB to your PC you need something like an "LG ADB Driver". I found one but only after an hour of searching or so... I don't have it here at work sadly.
At least that's the only one that worked for me.

I have successfully pushed some songs into my watch and they are playable through es file explorer but haven't checked with bluetooth headfones bcoz i don't have them yet, but how did u made the play music play the songs on the device

I didn't play them "on the watch", I connected my Bluetooth Speaker (which you can see in the background) and then connected my PC to those so I can record the audio.

After messing about a bit with Google Play Music and trying to get it work, I gave up on that and just went the ES File Manager route as well. Working great with the built-in media player!
Too bad I can't find a music player that'll work (GMMP and Apollo don't, just FCs).

I got this to work. I had music that I had uploaded to Google cloud using their program on my computer. That's the only music that seems to be able to be downloaded to the watch using Google play music app on the phone. I'm assuming music purchases from Google play will work too. Idk about that tho cuz I've never bought from them.

Hey can you check in which folder the downloaded music goes in watch so if we directly copy our music into that place it may work
Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA Free mobile app

In case anyone runs into the problem where music is playing, but you don't hear anything, just repeatedly type in "adb shell input keyevent 24" and hit enter a few times. For some reason, occasionally when I factory reset the watch, its volume goes on mute. This just increases the volume.

[Q] playing music from windows share on android device

I have a bunch of mp3s on a windows PC shared over wifi LAN.
I want to use a old android device to plug into speakers in another room and access the shared files, search/filter and queue, play songs on the phone.
POssible? Any suggestions on the best way to do this?
I know I could run a shoutcast server and just queue up songs on the pc but I would love to be able to use some sort of app that can scan all the shares and create a database that can be easily filtered/searched on the phone
Thank you =)

Es file explorer. I use it sometimes to play music from my pc and also a dlna hard drive. Its free and easy to use, you will need to enter your windows user name and password the first time you access a windows pc though.

[Q] make my ps3 or tv recognize and play media from my phone over wifi

My PS3 and my smart tv pickup my windows computer over wifi enabling me to show pictures music and videos on it. Im assuming this is a windows feature that allows it to show up like that. Is there any type of app that can fake the tv I to thinking my phone is a wi dows media?
I may be using wrong technology terms here but hope what I am saying makes sense
Hey,
There are many apps for that in Google Play, the technology is called "DLNA", just look for that in Google Play.
I use imediashare for displaying videos and pictures on my Sony TV. But with this app you normally send your media to the TV, and not the other way round.
Just try it!

Beaming to the Q - A Simpler Way to Launch Apps

So you've got a Q, and you've learned how to adb install apps to it... maybe even put a launcher on. But if you've got an NFC capable phone/tablet, you need not mess around with a launcher: your device will be your launcher.
As most of you probably know, the Q ships with a fully capable NFC radio. But for whatever reason, google only ever gave it one official function... beaming out a link the the Q App in the Play Store. Even if you already have it installed. They could have just as easily used a tag to do that job. But I've discovered that if you're running a sideloaded app, the Q will beam that app to your phone. Clearly, we're dealing with a fully beam-compatible device.
However, the Q is programmed to automatically push it's beam out when it finds a device that can receive it. To overcome this, you must open settings (either via a launcher or via adb shell, this is well-documented) and go to the "more" menu. Turn Android Beam OFF while leaving NFC on. This allows the Q to still read your incoming beams (they act just like tags, for compatibility) but it stop apps from opening unexpectedly on your phone.
Once you've done that, you can open any app installed on your Q simply by opening it on your phone/tablet and beaming it over. You'll still need a mouse or keyboard to navigate, but you won't have to futz around with getting to the launcher. This is working on my unrooted Q.
(I don't think this has been discussed before. I hope someone finds it useful!)
Thanks for the info, I was actually wondering whether this was available on the stock firmware. When you say you still need to launch/control with OTG, do things like Youtube links not autoplay when Beamed?

This basically opens the app like an android app on the Q. To click on things you need a mouse and an otg cable.

Animal24 has it right. And yes, it's available stock and unrooted. If you send a video to the Q, it will still work. However, when the video stops, it will return to the open app, not the standard home screen. If I recall correctly, music will play in the background if an app is open, and the lights will not dance.
That all said, I haven't used the Q since the new music lauched. :/

With CM10.1 and XBMC, I'm planning on using the Q to replace my Revue. I'm all OTA so I don't have a cablebox for the Revue to interface with, and with Aptoide I'm going to see if I can get the new Primetime working on the Q for finding and watching shows from Netflix/etc. Hopefully some year Primetime will do generic Amazon links instead of the GoogleTV apps. I'm using the new Play Music on my Q and using my phone as a remote. I've discovered that I can't seem to beam from the new Play Music to another device, or at least when I do it won't autoplay.

How are you doing this? ATM, I'm using BubbleUpNp from both sides, Q and phone. This allows me to still use Google Music as well as All Access. If there is a way to get the stock aplication to work in any way, please share

Hi FadedLite,
I'm using DroidMote to use my phone as a remote to the Nexus Q. I also use ShareKM, another fantastic option that lets me mouse "over" to my Nexus Q from my laptop and control the cursor with my laptop's mouse. One thing I need to figure out is a way to trigger DroidMote Server and ShareKM to start listening on boot, otherwise I have to use my OTG plugged mouse to open the programs and start them up once.
To use Google Music with All Access on the Q, as I stated I'm running CM 10.1 and they have a Gapps package that gives you the Play Store and Play Framework, so you can install Google Play Music and Movies & TV, etc.

MTP (Media Tranfer Protocoll) is used to read and write data to the internal memory and i doubt your XBOX can do this.
uh?

Your phone is not accessible like normal mass storage devices. Google "Media Transfer Protocol" if you want some more information

ok, now i'm confused googled a bit and some say it actually works, others say MTP devices arent supported which is what i guessed too... i dont have an XBOX myself. sorry if i provided wrong information.
if you have any lockscreen security enabled (pin, password, etc.) make sure you unlocked it once after plugging in, or the internal storage isn't accessible.

Download Android File Transfer here: http://www.android.com/filetransfer/ and your mac should detect the phone.
Not work buddy not detect it
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk
Just use a micro sd card with an adapter. Plug it into your macbook, drop the files on there and then put the card back in your phone. Or use air droid found here: http://www.airdroid.com/
also another way of doing it, which is what i like for music atleast
download google play music manager
all your music will sync with your gmail account, from there, you can select what you want to download to your phone as far as music goes
delete

This will make your m8 show up in android file transfer. Download Drivedroid from play store, free is fine, but you should support the developer for this awesome program and by the ad free version. Follow these instructions.. drag and drop from finder with ease Hit thanks if I helped. Btw, you must be rooted to do this.
