Does anyone else have music control working on touchwiz lolipop roms? I noticed since I updated to lolipop stock rooted rom on my note 4, I can no longer control any music app from my watch. Anyone else?
Tried resintalling gear manager, resetting the gear and same problem.
Working here. Open music player on Gear, open menu (3 dots upper right) select mobile device, done.

Strange. I'm able to control stock music player on my phone using the stock player on the Gear without any problems. Can also control Milk player on phone from Milk player on gear. I did factory reset both the phone and watch after lollipop update.

ok i dont know if there is a fix and i had tried to find, but everytime i reboot i have have to open my audio play, whether it be google music or mog or any music player and then i have to kill it then reopen and music works. does anyone know of a fix for this to avoid in having to open and kill it on every reboot? thank u,
I cant be the only one with this prob. Come on
I cannot honestly say I have heard of anyone on JB that has such an extensive issue with Audio...
I have run JB since I got the device and besides some early issues that have already been resolved... it was still never as bad as your experiencing!
I can only say to try and go back stock 100%, then once you have go through samsung kies and do the emergency firmware restore/wipe thingy, then try going back to a freshly downloaded copy of the JB rom of your choice...
Sorry your having so many issues
It is actually only when i play music from the device not streaming. I flashed the same rom on a stock ics note and they have the same issuez.

That was really hard to read.
Are you saying that you have no sound upon booting, until you open a music file?
If so, what music effect apps do you have installed? Check in the sound panel, inside the settings app.
Do you have Volume+, MusicFX, or Volume Boost? Anything like that?

when i open up google music, i click on a file and it just hangs, until i kill the app reopen then the file starts up normal, this happens everythine i reboot i have to do this after i do that its fine until i reboot again, also when i stream music it is just find its only when i play music on the device, this also does the same with MOG
Audio hang on i717 with Jelly bean
I have the same problem but not with every music app. Power amp works no problem but the apps I use for audio books Mort Audio Book Player or Smart Audio Books do not work unless i force close and then reopen. I have sometimes avoided the problem by opening a book in an alternate method so I suspect it may be something related to how the apps store the position in a track.
I also had problems with Map my run a run tracking app that can announce when you have run a certain distance. Map my run would capture audio focus and never release it. So my music would go silent until reboot. I am running CM10 stable but think I'll go back to CM9 becuase i use the audio book apps a lot and am too impastient and easily irritated to keep having to force close the apps. I have even had to battery pull on occasion but probably only because I was too impatient for the phone to come back online.
Hi everybody,
I will be receiving my truesmart this week and like many others, I want to use it for outdoor sports with bluetooth headphones (biking for me )
What is the best music player app that can be used with the omate truesmart? Basically, I need it to work with the small screens and it needs to support playlists. My favorite for my phone is playerpro. Does anyone know how that app works with the truesmart?
Thanks for your help :good:
Try Fusion. It has playlist support and gives you Shoutcast support as well.

There are several free ones that work well:
-Apollo (CM music player)
-Google Play Music
-Google Music Player (try the old versions like 3.0 or 2.0)
-MX Player
By far my favorite, though it is paid, is AMP Player.
In the end, doesnt matter much, as the built in speaker sucks and bluetooth connections fail halfway though each song. Hope BT connectivity gets fixed now that Loki and Omate have access to the Mediatek source code
I just spent a nice 3 hours driving with my TrueSmart feeding KCRW Eclectic24 through to my car audio system via Bluetooth using TuneIn Radio Pro and my 5gig T-Mobile sim. The only cut-outs were due to gaps now and then in the T-Mobile network. The Bluetooth connection never failed once.

PlayerPro is my Truesmart default music player. It works fine :good: .
I received my Truesmart yesterday (yay!) and have tested out both the player pro and fusion music player (Thanks Lokifish-that is a great player and I had never tried it). Here are my results:
Player Pro: Music player works great, but there is no menu button on the truesmart or in the playerpro UI. The menu button is needed to pull in the playlists I brought in from my phone.
Fusion Music Player. When I installed this on my phone, it auto-loaded the playlists I had made in playerpro. When I installed Fusion on the Truesmart, it could not find the playlists.
Has anybody had success with pulling playlists from their phone into their truesmart with any music players (especially if it is one of the two mentioned above)? Also, has anyone learned if it is possible to remap the truesmart buttons so that they can pull up a menu similar to the standard button on almost every android phone? Omate should have included a menu button-this was a poor oversight on their part.
Menu in Player Pro (and other apps)
Hard swipe from the left margin of the phone brings up menus often for me (apparently including in Player Pro).

You are correct-that works perfectly
Edit: Playlists worked fine once they were in the right place, and after installing the Ensec enhanced security the bluetooth seems to be working great!
Thanks to all the developers working on getting this product functional. I'm a noob and my only experience with this stuff was playing around with the HP touchpad.
I tried Google Play Music but on the first startup you have to choose a google account which is not possible because of the low screen density. Is there any workaround for that?

Yes, you have to root, install xposed framework and change dpi for that specific app to lower than 120 with "app manager" module. 90 dpi works fine for most of these resolution problems.

Received my TS yesterday. It is the 1GB EU version. Could you link me to the correct root instructions page for that model? Wasn't sure about rooting because it looked as if the model ins't supported so far?
Hi this problem came up today.
normally i download videos from fb with FVD when i click on the videos i get options which app to open with.
But today the videos just start playing im facebooks built in player.
How do i stop it doing this?
Galaxy S3 I9300 4.3
yes it does
Facebook made its player months ago, it open videos with its player for me too. To mention some times it doesn't and lets me chose with what I open but I think thats just a bug.
So you will face that from now on.

try clearing from Settings/Applications manager/All Apps tab-->Facebook - Clear Defaults button
did your FVD app get updated?
if yes, it might require a configuration like it did the first time you installed it
as suggested by @ra3or clearing app data and cache from your application settings is suggested.
tried that didnt work. hatwvthis built in feature cant download vids no more
I've been using the LG G Watch for a while now and I'm really loving it. However, I noticed that the music controls don't seem to work properly.
When I play a track on my Nexus 5 via Google Play, the artwork and title appear on the watch face, but pausing / playing don't work and I can't skip or go back a track, either.
As far as I can see I'm using the latest version of the Google Play Music APK and the watch is running the latest firmware. I've also tried resetting the watch and re-syncing the apps on it.
Another thing to note is that I'm running the Android L Developer Preview - not sure if that makes any difference.
Has anyone else had this issue?

Same exact music issues here. LG G Watch, Google Music v5.6.1609P.1258283, Android L Preview, Nexus 5.

Glad I'm not the only one getting this. Google Music updated today, but the issue is still there.
Same issue here on Google Music, Pocket Casts, and Player.FM - kinda annoying!
Same here, went back to 4.4.4 as many apps were having this problem (Google Music, Google Movies, Youtube)
Same issue for the Samsung Gear Live with Nexus 5 L preview.
Same issue here, works on HTC one m8, but not on nexus 5 and 7 running L. I assume its a problem with the way L handles music controls in notifications.
Happens to me with Spotify, the notification shows up but the play/pause control doesn't work. Using a Gear Live with a Nexus 4 running CM 10.2.1 (Android 4.3). However, Spotify works perfectly for a friend using a GS4 running KitKat connected to a LG G watch.
Got mine today, running Android L preview also and having the same issue. Anyone know of a fix/update on its way perhaps?
I do know that persistent/non-cancelable notifications are not mirrored to Wear for ANY app. That's usually the type of notification used to show playback controls, but it doesn't explain why the apps that have been updated don't seem to work correctly.
I also had this problem with L installed. I've since reflashed the stock 4.4.4 image, and they work fine.
Can anyone confirm whether this issue has been fixed in L yet?
It's one of the only things keeping me from using L on my everyday phone.

It will be fixed in the full release. But the dev preview won't be updated.
I thought I was the only one. So we have to wait for the Android L official release, hopefully it won't be to long
Same for me
I have the exact same issue with my Nexus 5 and Android L preview build LPV81C. Hoping it get fixed before full release. Fingers crossed ...
I have the same problem with my G Watch and Nexus 4 (running stock 4.4.4).
Anyone found a solution?
Edit:
Not a problem anymore, it was caused by an app for controlling my headset... -_-
I have the same problem with stock Nexus5 and Samsung Gear Live
I have the notification on gear of some song and when i try to "open on phone" none happens. If i try to play nothing happens again
BUT, if i open an music app (like Google music) and tap play on wear, then spotify (and this is strange) starts to play (a song different from that reported by wear notification).
This don't happens until i don't start an music app (seem that when i start a music app something will be initialized).
I also think that the notification on wear is something of old that has been stored by wear but not updated (probably after a spotify update).
Hey guys, try Wear Music Controller in the Play Store. It should control all your music players for you!
I have the same issue with you.
same here
Recently got my moto 360, doesnt work as well. Safe to say its the L preview bug.. But so disappointing

I started using a custom rom and I'm guessing that's what's broke it. Pretty depressing cause I like to change my music from my wrist....
I'm gonna have a look through the full rom and see if I can hazard a guess at the app that's missing
There's a new app that controls music playing on the phone and it has 4 different methods if one doesn't work.. It's called Musiccontrol on my watch
I can't play music on my phone either try reset still no luck it worked twice when I first used it but now nothing

I returned the watch. ...
Worked out the there is an app which crashes. It happened the 2nd I used titanium backup to uninstall some apps so I'm assuming something I was uninstalling was breaking that feature.
Just my advice
Feel like an idiot but i just discovered the toggle between the gear music player & phone music control.. The app i mentioned works too, but no need for it obviously
Did anyone hear of a fix for this?
My Gear S Music Player worked a few times, but will no longer control media on my Galaxy S5...
I installed the Ultimate Music Control app and that seems to work... (but no longer have a working widget)
Fixed my Gear S music controller problem
i had the same problem for days. Its a problem with the widget. Just go to the actual place where all the apps are (swipe up) and scroll down to the music player and tap it. I guess it just kind of restarts the widget because as soon as I tapped the app the music started playing again and the widget refreshed with the album artwork. Got my Google Play music working again too. Hope this helps.
still works, just hidden
I may be late to the game, but I just got a Gear S today. It took me a while (and a few apps) before I figured out that the Media Player on the Gear S has a second remote function. It can be accessed by pressing the 3 vertical dots on the bottom right of the display...if you don't see it (or the controls, just tap the screen).After pressing the dots, a menu will pop up with Mobile Device and Gear choices. Choosing Mobile Device puts the Gear into remote control mode for music on the phone (works great with Pandora, but no album art or like/dislike functions), while choosing Gear gives control of music on the watch.
holy cow! I even bought this app called beatObox for this purpose... wth, my Gear S supports this all along... Gear S Mustic Player (as a controller) works with PowerAmp it just doesn't display the album art.
Ultimate fix for the stock music control apk all you do is tap 3dots on right top side, click mobile device, tap screen 3 times or so, tap play periodicly until music plays and skips and boom there you go. Works with any player, just no artwork...
