Guys, any thoughts on this?
I have a S7 Edge running Android 7.0 and a HTC M9 running Android 7.0. Both have the same Google Assistant.
I created a couple of Apps using Tasker. Made the tasks and exported them using AppFactory. They are basically an app to open TuneIn Radio and click on a Radio Station. Apps are called TuneIn Classic Rock and TuneIn 5AA.
In Google Assistants I have set up shortcuts when you hear "play radio classic rock" then Google Assistant "Open TuneIn Classic Rock"
On the S7 Edge it works flawlessly. But every time i say the same thing on the HTC M9 it only ever brings up the web card with info about TuneIn Radio and Classic Rock. HTC M9 does open other apps for example if I say "Open Tasker" it will open the app Tasker. But for a number of apps including the ones i made it simply just pulls info from the web.
Any ideas/thoughts?

I use my car dock and I'm glad to have it. However, I don't like several aspects of it. I'd like to be able to change what apps it gives shortcuts for (specifically want google play music and pandora) and want it to auto start bluetooth (but not auto turn-off when removed). Would anyone point me at instructions for modding the factory app or make any recommendations for 3rd part apps?
I like an app called Car Widget at the Play store?.
Google Car Home still works on this phone, you need to hunt down the apk, it won't show available in the market.
I have a rooted HTC that is running ICS flawlessly. But I really need Vlingo or something as good so I can use voice commands and a car dash setting so I can access my music from Google Music Player in the car (from the my library cloud)
But unbelievably, Vlingo does not show up in the market for ICS? Or is this just HTC? How stupid is it that the millions of people who can't have Google Now on ICS ALSO can't have VLINGO that came out over 3 years ago?
Is there an .apk file for rooted phones to install Vlingo without the market? I know Google Now is completely killed for ICS and no one is trying to make that work anymore.
Or, if I can't get Vlingo, is there a voice activated app like Vlingo for a dash type application to play my music?
Did Google pay off Vlingo to not allow it on ICS so that we have no choice but to buy Jelly Bean phones? (since there is no equal in voice command to Google Now and Vllingo)
I'm getting sick of how Google sold us out. You can have Google Now on the freaking iphone, but not ICS?
I would greatly appreciate anyone who can tell me how to force install Vlingo on ICS?
Update. For anyone else who can't get Vlingo on ICS or Vivid. I was finally able to by looking for the actual apk file and then putting it into dropbox and installing it from there on the phone.
I don't know if my 3.6 version is the latest but it works great so far. I also don't know if I would be able to play music from google music player but Vlingo is as good as it gets without google now.'
Does anyone know if it's possible for me to access Google Music Player, (the "my library cloud music), by voice activation with Vlingo?
I've read that some voice activated apps are customizable, and if Vlingo is the best voice activated app besides Google Now, you would think there would be a way.
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 =)

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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.
I have searched these forums and I have tried damn near every app I can find relating to voice control. I simply want an app that controls a music player (doesn't even have to be google play as long as I can integrate play music into the player) and by control I mean: NEXT for next song and PREVIOUS for previous, PAUSE, for pause, etc. The only thing close is a few apps like Utter where you can say play music, and that's it or Commandr for google now where you have to say like 7 idiotic phrases to get to "NEXT". I know this is possible because from my s2, s3, s4 the STOCK Samsung app had voice control with NO WAKE UP PHRASE and no button pressing. You simply turned on the setting and when you opened the player, you just say "next" "previous" "pause" etc and it was amazing. I even integrated google play online library to the player. HOWEVER the idiots at Samsung took the voice features out of the s5 and Note 4 which I now have and I've spent months trying to find an alternative for my car. I don't know if any of you used this but it's amazing putting your phone down in your car and just simply saying "next" "play" etc...not having to say stupid things like Hi galaxy or wake up or ok google first even if those platforms had a next search function. IF ANYTHING can someone maybe edit the s4 Samsung music player stock app for use in the Note 4. I have tried to install it on my Note 4 but it will not function, even replacing the stock one in the Note 4. My phone is rooted, has custom recovery, xposed framework, and I am willing to do whatever to get this feature. Thanks
I'm switching to the Note 4 from the iPhone 6 plus and thinking about getting the Gear S because of the Nike Plus app. Are there any podcast apps for this watch? I'm trying to figure out which is the best watch to get with the Note that will also work standalone that will be able to play podcast subscriptions. I currently use the Downcast app for iOS.
