I currently use google music to play my music, but I noticed that the headset can only pause/play. I downloaded Jays headset controls off google play and it works well except it turns off the music widget on the lockscreen. Is there any way get the lockscreen widget AND Jays headset controls to work too
Is there a way to get the name of the artist that is playing in Play Music to Tasker?
I know that the GoneMad Music Player supports %MARTIST out to Tasker, but it cannot stream from my Google Music account.
Perhaps this isn't even the best way to accomplish what I'm trying; what I want is to display the artist's name and the track name when music is playing, and to hide all text when it is not. I want to do this on the desktop, as well as on the lock screen.
What I've been able to do so far is to have Tasker send the variable %MTRACK to a variable named %CURRENT_TRACK because when the music stops or is paused, %MTRACK does not update. Tasker checks to make sure that music is still playing, and if not it sets %CURRENT_TRACK to empty. Minimalistic Text displays this, and is updated by Tasker every time %CURRENT_TRACK is changed. I would like to replicate this behaviour with the artist name as well.
Ideally the music controls would also disappear, but that I'm sure I can accomplish if I bang around in UCCW for long enough.
Phantom Music Control works on the lockscreen, but the widget doesn't disappear when running on the desktop for me.
Hi, is there a way to whitelist Spotify so it doesn't close automatically a moment after i pause the music. I actually searched and found that you have to add Spotify to the "Unmonitored apps" in "Device maintenance" (settings) but i did that (as you can see here https://imgur.com/a/GoYT7PK) and it still shuts down when i press "Optimize now". I also downloaded Tasker.apk but didn't know how to do disable spotify from autoclosing. I'm asking this because my Spotify widget on the homescreen only works when the little notification (the circle with lines) is on the notification screen. Any workaround ? Thanks !!
Hi all,
I just got my Stratos and got a few questions wich I can't find here...
Running latest 2.3.7.
- I receive all my notifications double on my watch, no matter if it's Gmail, Outlook, Linkedin, Whatsapp etc etc. I only have the Amazfit app installed, nothing more.
- I there a way to adjust date format to EU standard (dd-mm-yyyy)?
- How can I add other sports/activities? I made one in the app but it doesn't show up in the watch. I want to track my Hiit training sessions like Les Mills Gritt (on fitbit yuo can use kickboxing or aerobis for this).
- I want to use the watch to control my music on my phone/tablet. Sometimes the music controller shows up in the watchface after swiping up but sometimes not and nitifications show up. How to call it in front?
- Every few seconds the watchface seems locked and I have to press middle button and after that upper before I can swipe the screen. Can you make this more easy?
- On my Garmin and Fitbit if I receive a notification I can see it directly on my watch without pressing buttons. How do I do that with the Stratos? Do I realy need to enter notification menu?
But most annoying for now is the double notification. Hope that someone can explain this to me...
edit: I just notice that the double notification is not exactly the same. If I get an email first notification is the email wich I can tap top open and read the whole email. 2nd notification is only a message with the subject which I can't open further.
edit2: seems like I receive 1 notification with that are emails. and a 2nd one with the email itself. Just recievd 4 mails in 5 seconds. Watch says: 1st notification you have got 4 outlook message. Then I have 4 extra notifications with those email messages.
Maybe it's because of Novalauncher/Teslaunread/Android one on my phone.
- Dateformat is not changeable in WFZ watchfaces, you have to search for an App WF
- No you can't create your own activities.
- music, no clue, don't use it.
- That is the reason why the watch has such a long battery live, if it goes into standby mode the screen is off.
- If you want a Garmin functionality, stay with garmin. This is how it works on the Stratos
Install watch Droid. Use that for all your notifications and to control music on the phone.

In the Amazfit app you can make an sport. Howcome you can't import it to the watch, whats the use of that function then.
It's a sports watch but gym activities like weight lifting or cardio are not included.
My fitbit also uses the standby modus, but aftre flicking the wrist (like the stratos) it comes to live and unlocks itself. No need to push buttons.
I just wanted to try something different the Garmin and Fitbit and this one looked stylish for daily wear.
I hope I can sort the notifications out. That and sports are the mean reason I use a smart sport watch.

Just installed it.
Is there an easy way to get in the notifications from watch droid?
I get around a notification every minute (busy job...)
You could install quick launcher so that you have easy access to watch Droid from the watch screen, but it interferes with custom keyboards if you're using those.
Alternately the paid version of watch Droid allows a notification to also be created within the watch notifications, which you can click to open the larger notification in watch droid

Thanks for the tip, I'm gonna try that out...
I also am a sportinstructor and wanted to use the watch to start/stop the music on my ipad while teaching the class.
That mostly work (can't find out when it does and when it doesn't) but it's not working when I track the excersice in sport on the watch. Then you can't control the music.
Is there any way to control the music (on Ipad) when you are inside a sport activity?
Also I'm still missing a way to track my Hiit training sport activity. In some video's etc I see aerobics as an activity. That one I can use. But it's not in my stratos.
Haven't figured how to change music on the phone during an activity unfortunately.
Stratos doesn't have an option to track HIIT. Some people have reported using elliptical to track gym workouts, but I've not tried that
I'm wondering how to get a shortcut for the default Google assistant on a tablet being used in my dad's car.
We are currently using this car launcher, which has the assistant icon on the homescreen. See here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...nits/customized-car-launcher-apk-bmw-t3652086
I'm trying to re program a button on his steering wheel to have the tablet open that assistant app & wait for a voice command but that shortcut doesn't show up in his list of apps.
Maybe there is another app I can use? What app instantly pauses the music & waits for a voice command?
