One of the things that confounds me is that the only music streaming app you could use on the Gear S without needing your phone was Milk Music. And now Samsung is canceling it. While you can import your stations to Slacker, there is no independent Slacker app for my watch. And Pandora would be great too but yet again doesn't exist.
It was really nice to hook up my Bluetooth headphones, start Milk Music and listen to it during a workout without needing to lug the phone around. I hope Samsung figures it out and provides some sort of replacement.
Yep I share your feelings. I don't hold a lot of hope samsung will develop anything new for the gear s
Best we can hope for is a port of some kind.
Do any of the other gear watches have a 3g radio?
this SUCKS.. one of the reasons I got the Gear s was because of the ability to leave my phone when working out .. the app selection for the gear s is crappy at best.. now it just got worse..
So are we just SOL since there are no more music apps? I made the stupid mistake of resetting my phone, so now the Samsung Milk App no longer works since it needs to connect to Samsung Milk at least once to initiate

Hi,
Im in desperate need of some sort of app that allows my to control the music on my galaxy tab via my phone (nexus S) via Bluetooth. I listen to all my music on my tab which is packed away in my bag when travelling and rather than having to take the tab out each time to change track, does any one know of a App which i can use to skip pause and select music via my phones Bluetooth?!
I'm sure im not the only one who would benefit from this app
Thanks in advance!
I take it there is no such thing
Maybe something like this?

“KENWOOD Music Control” is free app for Music control. I like this app as it works great with my Kenwood head unit via Bluetooth.
Hi, sorry if this is in the wrong category.
What I want to achieve is:
1. To stream audio (MP3s, calls) from my phone to my car stereo
2. To do this, and other functions of my phone, without taking the phone out of my pocket at all.
I'm going to be buying a Galaxy S5 in the very near future, and also my car stereo is knackered, so I thought now is a good time to shake things up. What I was thinking of was to get a new car stereo that has Bluetooth, and then use an NFC tag stuck on to the seat of my car, and the Trigger app, that when connected will turn on Bluetooth on my phone, and turn on voice commands.
First of all, what can one do with voice commands these days? I currently have a Galaxy S2, and with that one, it's not very much. What I'll want to do is call people, amswer the phone when people call me, write SMS/Whatsapp messages, and have them read out to me, set calendar entries and reminders, play music by going through my music library and reading it out to me.
Is this all possible in Android, or will I need a 3rd party app? To complicate things further, is it possible to replace current commands with other ones, where I would record them into the phone? The reason I ask is because my first language is Welsh. This also means that most my text messages will be in Welsh, so I will need to be able to write them in letter-by-letter, and also have them read out to me letter-by-letter. Possible?
Secondly, what sort of car stereo should I get for this? One with Bluetooth of course, but what other features should I look out for that I might need? Or should I go for a Parrot system?
Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks.
Hi, I think it might be answered before, but I would like to know if I can storage music in the Gear Fit, because if I buy it and go running, I will not carry my S5 and it would be great to use it to play music through my bluetooth headphones.
Also, would you recomend this Gear Fit? I will use it basically to run and have all the information sync to my S Health app, not so much for notifications. I've seen a lot of other bands but they can not sync to the S Health app.

Gear Fit doesn't have music player. It can only control the music (volume and forward/rearward) on your mobile. And if you want to run with Gear it's not good idea, because there are problems with counting distance and calories. Also you will need GPS on your mobile if you want to record the trace.

Thanks for the quick reply! I thought it was usefull for that. I will check other brands then. Any recomendation?
Hello all, just a couple of thing that I'm having problems with and thought you guys may be able to help. I have a Sony XAV-712HD receiver in my car and use the Xperia Z3v with it and I get no song info from any app via Bluetooth connection. I tried my wife's Galaxy S4 and my friends Note 4 and both put song info up on the display immediately. Also anyone using MirrorLink, I have low sound quality and can't adjust the volume on the phone while in Mirrorlink. I know it says Bluetooth is not supported when using ML but if I use audio through the cable it only plays through my front speakers. Anything you guys can help with would be great! Thanks in advance!
So I can better help you, which music apps do you use? For example I use Google's Play Music. On a side note, have you checked Bluetooth settings while you are connected or trying too connect to see what's going on?
I just posted a reply but don't know where it went... LOL Anyway, I have checked BT settings on both devices connected and not. I use Spotify, Amazon, Walkman with music on sd card, and iHeart. I have factory reset both devices and still no go. I really wanted to like this device but the lack of data while on a call just doesn't work with my career and my boss ordered me a Note 4 that will be here in the morning. If you don't have time to mess with it don't worry about it. Just kind of wondering if anyone else was having an issue.
That's weird... Sorry I couldn't help you. Hopefully that issue works out for you. The data and call feature should be fixed along with xlte with the lollipop update which should be soon. Which could be this month or next month.
Not a problem man. Thanks for trying to help! I was told by the rep at the end of last year it would be a couple of months but it has recently become a real issue. Thanks again!
My poineer unit receives song data from every app I've tried. Walkman, Spotify(What I use most), Google play, pandora.. etc.
However, my girlfriends G3 doesn't show anything when playing via her phone.
Hey guys, I'm not sure if this is a Z2 issue or a wider Android issue because this is my first Android phone since jumping from iOS.
I've had this phone about a year, and I love it, but one thing really annoys me. If I play some music over bluetooth to my car, it works fine, but if I stop the music when I get out of the car, and then go back to the car a bit later I can't just hit play on the bluetooth adaptor to get it to carry on playing. I need to get the phone out and reopen the app and play from there.
This is the same with whatever audio app I use. Google Music, Audible, Pocket Casts etc.
On iOS, I could stop a podcast on Friday when I got out my car, and then on Monday morning hit play and it would just carry on where it left off.
Is there any way to do this on Andoird? A setting? An app? It's a small thing, but it's literally the ONLY think I like less on this phone than my old iPhone. I waited for the Lollipop update because I hoped this would sort it, but no luck.
Thanks in advance!
