Hello
I have ordered the Amazfit Pace. And now i realized that I haven't done my research properly, since i discovered, that the watch missed out on a basic feature like controlling the music player on a connected mobile. Would it be possible to manually install a 3. party controller like Wear Music Controller, and use that instead?

Hi Guys,
I am looking for an app which allows me to control music player on another phone. Like, the app can be installed on both the devices and by using bluetooth i can play,pause,skip to next songs on the other phone from my phone..Is there any apps available?
You could try looking into DLNA/UPnP, but as far as I know, phones can't be seen as renderers (the device playing the music by itself), only as servers or controllers.
PS: I've been trying to achieve something similar with an E52, but with no luck.
you can search some apps on ubuntu OS,I remember that there is an open source app can do that on a PC,not a phone,may be you can re-plant it.
Hello there,
Is there an app that can route the audio output of my android smartphone/tablet to my PC? I was googling and searching this forum for this topic quite some time, but all I found was the other way arround. From PC to android is not that urgent for me, since I mounted all my network files with cifs.ko to my phone. Although there seems to be something called Pulseaudio. To be more specific - as mentioned in the title - I am not looking for a dlna/upnp solution, because there are some situations where this is not working, i.e. the audio output of applications like grooveshark.
Of course there are a lot of remotes out there: unified remote, awarremote for winamp, gsremote for grooveshark and so on. They are pretty awesome, but sometimes it is quite cumbersome to switch the remote app all the time.
Let me describe the situation I have in mind. You are listening to an audiobook on your phone with your beloved audiobook app (audible in my case) and come home. Then you activate the WifiAudioApp and it connects to your PC and the audio is now playing on your pc speakers.
I am no developer, but I think something like this would be possible, if someone could fool android to believe that it paired with an bluetooth speaker set. But in fact it is an app, that puts audio over Wifi to a client programm on your PC (certainly only possible on a rooted phone). Don't know if this is possible.
There seems to be a gadget, which offers something in this direction:
http://androidcommunity.com/android-gets-airplay-like-streaming-via-xbounds-20111122/
But I am not that interested in video, just audio.
If anyone has suggestions for me, I would really appreciate them.
Best regards,
Bel.
P.S. I think, this would be a great application. To all developers out there: At least you would have one client, who would pay for an app like this. Certainly, there would be more.
it's a great idea!
i'm also have "robo" smartphone and i love listening to music. i have got some mp3-BoomBox which is connected to my Notebook via 3.5mm.
i can listen to music from Android smartphone on notebook via Bluetooth, but also i know that it is possible via wi-fi!
somebody please help us! without any expensive gadgets like ^^^
sorry for my english
I'm looking for an app/ method that can do this and I have found two ways to do this so far;
Method 1:
- Create a directory on my computer to be used only for music that I want on my device.
- Select this directory only for Winamp computer program to search for content in.
- Set up any playlists, preferences, titles etc on the computer program.
- Sync to Winamp app on my device.
If you configure the app and program to sync anytime the device is using the same wireless network (wireless syncing is a great feature of Winamp that actually works, unlike Kies) you will have the same music collection available on both your phone and computer.
Method 2:
- Use Gmote app to remotely control the media content on your pc (you need the PC download, too).
This method is very primitive and can only play files as they appear and not playlists however this can be remedied by creating a directory containing only the files you want to play.
Best I've found so far.
What I would like to have is a nice Spotify app for the Gear Fit.
The media manager doesnt show which song is playing etc. It works for the songs played from the media player on the phone ofc but not as well with Spotify.
What i would like to be able to do:
Chose Playlist
Add songs to favourites / other playlists
See an icon with the artist like on spotify (maybe as background for the app/clock while music is playing?)
(Being able to search for music maybe isnt needed , it would be to bothersome, better pick up the phone)
Also i have a qustion about the built in memory in the Gear Fit , would it be possible to create an app which would make it possible to use the watch as a standalone medie device? like if youre going to work and dont want to bring your phone with you.
Ex: Download a spotify playlist and play it from the watch directly to bluetooth speakers or something
The real question would be how much memory the Gear Fit has , and if we can access it.
Best Regards / Christoffer
P.S If you are experienced in programming these apps, please be so kind a send me a mail , would like to learn how to make my own apps for this watch and maybe could be of help if needed Do have earlier programming experience, third year computer science engineer.

This is fairly much the only thing that i feel is missing from my gear fit. I would be willing to help out if you need or send you some cash to help finish it.
I understand there is a music player. You can control the music from the music player on your phone or on your watch, but I use Spotify most of the time and don't actually have any music on the phone itself. Right now I have the Gear Live and it works great for media control. Anything that would pop up controls on my lock screen, for instance: I also get controls for video too like Netflix when I'm streaming to Chromecast. I've been unhappy with the very limited cards interface of Android Wear and was looking at the Gear S but I really need media controls.
Also will the Gear S only work with Samsung Messages? Can I use Samsung Messages on the watch while using something else on my phone? Right now I'm using the Google Messenger app they just released with the beautiful material design look.
I would love it to have basic Bluetooth music controls also which is a MUST. Very few ppl still use the stock music apps and not online services.
That way we can control other devices and stereos also.

Hm. So the Media Controls app doesn't seem to have made it to the Gear S even though it is on the Gear 2 and all of the others. Not sure why it isn't there.
The Gear S will only work fully with Samsung's messaging app on the phone. Hangouts functionality beyond notifications is locked down to Android Wear and Android devices by Google.
So there is no Spotify control on gear s? ?
I control Spotify flawlessly from my gear s. It's a wonderful feature.
Actually there is one. Stock music player is the basic bluetooth media controller.. just click 3 dots on the bottom right of the widget. Then you have option to 1 control device and 2 control music on the gear. Choose control device. Now you can control the media with your gear s.
I call samsung as samsuck but its not that sucks to remove basic bluetooth media controller. Hope it helped =)

Stock Gear S (EU version at least) fully work with Hangout. You can answer by canned answer or by Keyboard or by Voice Input You must install also the Wear app even if you have not a Wear Device, (answer API are in Wear app and not on phone app)
Otherwise there are app on store for extended notification wich works for Gear S with not last firmware (from specific operator).
The Gear Notification Extender app in the Play Store let's me use forward and backward and pause controls when I'm listening to Google Play Music from my phone.
Hi all and sorry if this is in the wrong place. I bought this TV and almost cried at first because Philips, in their wisdom, had decided not to allow sideloading of apps. After a recent update this feature has now been allowed and have tried chrome etc but they are all virtually useless because of the rubbish remote that comes with the TV. My question is does anyone know a wireless mouse/keyboard combo that DEFINITELY works with this TV or is there an app on play store that I use to control my TV from my phone wirelessly. It would have to include a mouse and keyboard function. The reason I say wirelessly is because the only device I think I can connect through Bluetooth is a speaker. I have tried searching various forums but haven't come up with a definitive solution yet and have tried multiple maybes.
