I was wondering if any of you guys share the same problem. When im on running exercise, while im stopping in the middle of my exercise usually im manually pausing my exercise. Since there is no auto pause feature.
After 1 or 2 pause it seems when im going to resume my exercise my gear fit returned to default main menu and i have to start exercise from the beginning. And when synced to s health. It recorded several exercise not single exercise. Are there any workaround for these problem?
Thanks...

Hi,
To be honest, I don't expect to get an answer for this, but I guess it's still worth a try.
Setup & background:
I use an Android device (Galaxy S4), rooted, tasker running.
I like running and while I run, I
A: listen to Audiobooks through Amazon's Audible app.
B: use the Endomondo app.
Endomondo announces my pace, heart rate etc. every X km.
Problem:
When Endomondo is making the announcement, which takes about 20-30 seconds or so, the Audible app is muted but still keeps on playing. Which means that I miss about 30 seconds of the book every X km.
Question: Is there a way to make Audible pause when Endomondo makes these announcements?
Many thanks in advance.
Can
OK. I have the oddest problem I'm hoping people can help me with, though I don't hold much hope.
Recently my UConnect stopped recognizing on the display when the track changed in Google Play Music from my Galaxy Note 3. The next track does start playing over BT, but the UConnect keeps showing the previous track info and progress bar. I never had issues before.
Phone recently got a software update so it could be on the phone side. It works fine with other music players on my phone though. Maybe a Google Play Music update broke it. However, on my BT connection to my home theater stereo, it properly updates the track info, so it's something between my phone and UConnect.
Here's the odd part that makes it hard to pin it to either the phone or the car specifically:
Track gets updated on my smartwatch via BT just fine.
Track gets updated on my home theater stereo over BT as normal.
Steering wheel buttons advance track forward (full control over music), and new track starts playing, but doesn't update track on screen.
Track gets updated on display if you click backwards to previous track, just not forwards either manually or automatically at end of previous track.
UConnect display gets updated automatically while playing tracks if you use a mixed playlist with different artists. If it's the same album by same artist it does not change track on display.
If I switch to a different audio source and back, it shows the correct song on the display, but it will not switch to next one automatically when playing an album.
Track displayed gets updated properly with other music players, just not Google Play Music.
Used to work before, but recently received Galaxy Note 3 4.4.4 AT&T firmware and also Google Play Music updates.
Tried repairing phone to car, but no luck. It's a UConnect 8.4A with latest firmware.
Did you ever have success in finding a solution for this? I recently bought a new Dodge Dart with the same system in it and it pairs fine with my OnePlus One, but it doesn't sync ANY of the track information. It just says "OnePlus One" where the title of the song would be. I figured maybe our problems would be related, but I could be wrong.
Similar thing with my new Jeep. I have the latest update 11.17.11 I think it is. There is no track info at all on the display. On top of that when I start a song it loops the first 2 seconds or so about 3 times before it plays. There also seems to be a disconnect between the play button.
I stream all my music however, so maybe that's a problem with the files not being on my phone.
Hi folks,
I've just started using Stratos with stock fw 2.3.0.8 and noticed a strange thing. I start playing music via my BT headphones directly from the watch (i.e. no smartphone used) and everything works fine. Then I launch the RUN option to start which switched to the excercise screen and starts tracking the pace, HR etc. but it STOPS the music. I didn't find a way how to restart or control the music from the RUN screen. Not sure if this is a bug, or I just haven't found the right procedure to do so.
SO - how do you listen to music and have the run tracked at the same time??
Many thanks,
loni
By doing exactly what you did, but you control the music while in the activity with the headphones buttons (it needs to be A2DP compatible, so probably it has more than 1 button for play/pause, next/prev music and volume). Other than this, you can use third party apps to go back to main screen and then go the music widget, but it's not advised and it may cause problems with the activity tracking.
Same problem here. My first training went smooth, i've played music, then start RUN and go - awesome.
2 days later i did exactly same thing - music, run, go - music stopped.
I'm using Huawei AM61 with VOL UP, VOL DOWN, FUNCTION buttons. How i can resume music once activity tracking starts? How to minimize to "desktop" after activity start? BT music was the main reason i've bought this watch - so i can leave my phone at home.

If the music paused then it should come back after you use the headphone's Play button. If it doesn't, probably either the headphones disconnected or media player crashed. Music control went back to Stratos in CN dev builds, so it may come back to all devices soon (Stratos and Pace). In the meantime, you can use this floating bar to control music even when recording an activity:

You can also try this other music player that works as the builtin but offers playlist support:

This used to happen to me. Changing the songs to lower bitrate and putting fewer songs on the watch fixed it. Also sometimes i needed to let it 'rest' after putting new songs on it.
Yeah, i deleted 2 big files (meaning that one mp3 is over 1 hour long), leaving normal ~3-5 minutes mp3's, and it seems to be working fine again. Probably media player was crashing.
Hey everyone,
When I have my phone connected up to Bluetooth in my car I can stream music (from andrewhaug.com app) for about 5-10 minutes before the music stops. If I wake the device it will resume streaming. Has anyone experianced this behaviour? Is there any kind of setting that I need to look at?
Im running DevBase 5.9.
I have tried resetting the Bluetooth settings but to no avail.
I have noticed possible similar behavior. When using my s9 plus verizon with my 2012 infiniti g37 randomly the Bluetooth music will skip on Spotify(every couple of minutes the music I'll pause for a second almost like a skipping CD) Never experienced this with my s8 or s7. Its always been like this with my s9. Never changed any settings or bothered looking into it.
So, somewhat of an update.
Over the past week I have noticed that the music streaming only cuts out IF the app is not the main focus. What I mean by that is; the app has to be running in full screen, like any normal app, BUT, if you exit out of it to the Home screen or go into another app and then lock the phone, that is when the music stops after a certain amount of time. Even though the app has a background service running, for some reason, its not the main app in focus, it gets put to sleep/kills the resources for it.
A bit of a weird quirk. Not sure if its an Android thing or an app thing.
Put the app out of battery optimisation & allow its background activity

I have battery optimization turned off for all apps.
Another interesting issue is when I'm streaming music, a call comes through, and when its done, the music doesn't resume playing. If I resume it like normal, it then stops like the original problem.
I can restart the phone and then it doesn't have a problem.
Hello everyone,
I'm going to buy Verge but I have some doubts. I hope you will help me:
1. I know that in lite version You can't control music during active training. But what about "not lite" Verge version? Am I able swtich between training and music control? Or at first turn on music (mp3 on watch itself) and then start training?
2. Am I able to control Spotify app on smartphone?
Best regards,
Lukasz
1. Only if you use AV2P Bluetooth headphones, as latest Chinese firmware for Verge, there is no music control during activities like the one available for Pace/Stratos;
2. Yes, if you enable Music control in Amazfit Watch app and you keep the phone with you and connected to the watch, of course. But, again, you cannot control music this way during sports activities.
Verge isn't the best option for sports:
1. Battery life is shorter if compared to Pace/Stratos mainly due to AMOLED display, what also makes it harder to read outdoors during the day unless you use maximum brightness;
2. It is all plastic and IP68 (although I doubt it due to the openings for both mic and speaker);
3. Custom straps are hard to find because it does not use an standard format, although they have the quick-release mechanism.
Thx for reply.
Yes but I can play music before trening start, and this is OK for me (I got Verge since friday). I made 2 trainings and for now only drawback is brightness, it could be better. But I run at evening mostly.
I found some offers for straps on Ali, and I am wating for delivery.
Generaly I am realy happy. Verge is not perfect but if You consider price/value ratio it is best choise im my opinion.
What the heck, Huami? And I thought I was doing something wrong or overlooking something. Why would you not make music controllable on the Verge during an activity when it is possible on Stratos / Pace?? That's frustrating.
I got weird interrupts when playing music over BT while running with GPS on and using Polar BT HR band. Every 20 to 60 seconds the music has little pauses. This happens with MPow DS6 headphones. Has anyone else this?
