You can't. The way the OS is made only one thing can have audio at a time.

Hey guys,
i am thinking about buying the Amazfit but i heard its officially not possible to control music when it is running on the phone?
Are there any mods that would make this possible and another question is, would it be possible to sideload Spotify or Google Music for example and use it on the phone?
Thanks and best regards

From 1.3.4f update, it officially can be done. I've tried it on my LG g3, and it works. I've heard it works for Spotify, etc., but you wait for confirmation / second opinion.

I've tried it with Spotify and it works
Thank u guys
Anybody know if it would be possible to sideload Google Music oder Spotify directly to the watch?
No it is not possible.
This is a modified version of android, not many apps work.

Hi,
I have a G3 but the Amazfit is connected to my Mate 9. Updated to 1.3.4f the first day it got released but I'm yet to understand how to control from the watch. I hate having to bring out the phone to change tracks (I use a wired Sennheiser which has no control buttons).
Any tips please?
It has to be enabled in phone app, notifications settings, music remote controler.
After that press play music from phone, and swipe up on the unlocked watch for controls.

I'm running latest PACfied rom, and I can not find the music remote controls, any idea? Thanks!
Has someone with a Mate 10 tried to run Android Auto? I'm still rocking a Mate 8, still a very good phone but with one major annoyance : not working with Android Auto. Very eager to find out if this issue has been resolved.

Actually..... was fine yesterday but I have had a few weird issues today (have only had the device 72hrs)
- Lost music playback during a drive this morning.. can still hear nav instructions and phone calls etc, just silence during what appears to be playing music.
- The map screen has shrunk.. its like a totally different dpi to the other screens and appears fairly high res. Good because of the extra screen estate, but is now difficult to read text.
I'm going to try again tomorrow and will reset the head-unit and reinstall AA if it continues.
There is also a fair bit of complaints going on at the google product forums so maybe Oreo still needs some bugs worked out ?

It's strange. Sony XAV AX-100 & Mate 10 ALP-L29 .115
I find if I'm connected to the headunit first via BT and streaming music, it is fine. GPS directions and calls etc work as expected.
If I plug in via USB and let Android Auto takeover the headunit, it will continue only playing the one currently playing song, and the all other music is unable to play. I still get audio for directions & calls though.
What I think is happening, is Android Auto is trying to play music via USB connection and disables the "media" part of the BT paring.
For whatever reason, Google Play music doesn't come through via USB.
After a bit of research it appears this is a widespread problem with multiple devices after a recent AA & Google Play music update.. so I'm hesitant to blame Huawei here.
My current workaround is simply to use Android Auto on the phone and paired via BT for audio, rather than plugged in via USB.
Very very annoying, and hopefully fixed soon. Google seem to be dropping the ball A LOT lately
Very strange indeed...hope these bugs get ironed out soon. One of the main reasons to upgrade is to have AA working on my head unit so I guess I'll just wait until this works like it should.

Just a quick fyi.. I have cancelled my Google Play Music and switched over to Spotify instead, which is working great and I have no other issues while plugged in via USB
I still get the higher dpi on the maps screen, and am finding it's actually preferable now I've used it for a few days.
Another small fyi for those experiencing issues, after a whole bunch of testing it appears the 'Smart Display" resolution setting is casusing the Nav Maps screen to be distorted, and the On-Call Phone screen to be hidden.
Locking resolution to HD / 720 will allow Maps and Phone screens to function as expected.
Still haven't figured out the GPM no-audio bug even after yesterdays playstore update.
I'm having issues on my mate 8 NXT-AL10.
Navigating - Works on fresh install of Android Auto, but then with Waze installed, next time I get in the car and go to navigation the system freezes, goes black, and then returns to the home screen. This has gone on far too long, and this is also my 2nd and last Huawei phone. Unimpressed.
Music/Audio - Every app I go on within android auto (on my head unit) is giving the "Google play music doesn't seem to be working right now" or insert other app name. It's mightily frustrating.
I've found workarounds for both but they're by no means fullproof.
1) Using Nova Launcher seems to keep Waze working for longer without having to reinstall the android auto app.
2) Apparently clearing the cache of your apps can help solve the audio issues, as well as restarting Bluetooth.
Google/Huawei really need to get their act together on this. It's really frustrating to spend so much money on a phone and a new car only to find out the systems you bought them for don't work.

Oh, and also, when typing - for inserting a destination into a navigation app on Huawei, I've found there's no space-bar.
The only workaround so far I've found is type it natively on app in phone, save the destination as a favourite, and access it on android auto from the favourites list. Again, small, but painful.
You going to hate android auto belive me.

I upgrade my Oneplus 3 to Mate 10 and having the same Google Map resolution too high problem.
I turn off Smart Display and lock the resolution to HD (720p) as instructed from this post, the navigation of android auto back to normal but the quality of the screen of the Mate 10 itself look like a budget phone.
I will try to update the firmware of my SONY XAV-AX100 if it would help.
Oh great. I really wish i found this thread before pulling the trigger on a Sony XAV-AX100 I expect it to arrive sometime next week but it wont be installed in my car until the new year sometime. Nonetheless, I will try some basic tests with Android Auto and report my findings. These tests won't involve sound though. No speakers laying around to connect to the headunit. I have a Mate 10 Pro, firmware 8.0.0.125
Updating the firmware of the XAV-AX100 unit does not help. I think it is the problem of Huawei Firmware. I hope they can fix the problem soon.
I just bought my Mate 10 last week. Finally got a chance to use AA, and after reading all the helpful information from this thread, I changed my phone resolution down to HD (low). I have a brand new car and brand new expensive flagship phone, and now you are telling me Huawei doesn't work well with AA. I really dont want to use an expensive phone with HD low resolution. Is there a way to let Huawai fix it?
I was also wondering if we could update the firmware of the screen of our car? I have a 2016 honda accord ex-L...

I think we have to wait for the firmware update of the phone instead of the firmware of head unit. I am current running 8.0.0.119(C636) (which have the AA bugs) and hope that the new 8.0.0.128(C636) I found in Firmware Finder will have the problem fixed. However, the new firmware is not authorise to install on my mate 10 yet.

Sorry for bringing this topic again, but these are exactly my problem and exactly my thoughts.
I have a Mate 9 Pro with Oreo beta and even when I don't have problems with maps or screen, I can only hear 1 song and then the audio stops working, and even when I unplugged the phone, the device remains with no audio at all until I reboot the device.
I tried to test with a P10 Lite, but the car is not even recognizing it.
I will try today with an Android Stock device to see if I get better results.
:fingers-crossed:

Do you get correct resolution on your car screen with AA? I can get correct resolution by using HD 1280 x 720 only, which is low resolution.
I tried to use Quick Shortcut Maker to create a shortcut so everytime I need to use GPS, I will toggle it on. However, Quick Shortcut Maker doesn't work on my Mate 10, and I dont' see any new shortcut created on my home screen.
I tried Nova Launcher, again, no hope. Nova Launcher tells me "Permission Denial" when I created the shortcut for "Screen Resolution". Also, after insatlled Nova, my Torch (flashlight) no longer working anymore.
I am thinking to return this crappy mate 10, it's not worth it to spend so much time to do research on all these bugs for Huawei software engineer....

Ok. I have received the Sony head unit and had it installed on friday night and...........
I am having similar experiences to Snachez with some exceptions.
No sound in Google Play Music. Which I am very pissed off with. Sure, I could cancel Google Music, but I have a family account with multiple users. So that's not really an option. I have no choice but to take up a Spotify subscription as well as GPM. I truly believe this is an issue with the GPM app or AA and is not Huawei's fault. Goddamn you Google. (EDIT: Just scored 3 months of Spotify for $0.99. If Google can get there **** sorted by the end of March with the Music app, it won't be so bad)
Maps are fine. don't matter what resolution i run the phone at. Sadly this is probably the only part of AA that has worked as expected.
Phone call information does not display on my headunit. at all. I have a dialer / contacts info but that's it. It doesn't matter if i switch the phone between 720 or 1080p. phone call info does NOT come up on the headunit. Do i have to reboot the phone between resolution switches? Because I didn't try that.

Saying I hate it would be a bit strong. More unimpressed than anything else. Unless I need to use Google Maps, or charge my phone. This headunit is going to spend more time in BT Audio mode than AA
I have got phone functionality (call info, etc) to work in AA. But to do so I have to force close the Huawei dialler each and every single time before connecting the phone to the headunit.
[email protected] me, what an absolute pain in the arse. How did Google and/or Huawei not notice this???
On the upside though, it works when the phone's resolution is set to 1080p. what a relief because changing it to 720p everytime i want to use AA would just suck.
To all the folks that say phone / maps doin't work properly in 1080p. have you tried enabling Developer Options in AA and experimenting with some of the settings?
I Know This Is A Stupid Question That I Am Going To Ask.
In My Huawei Mate 10 Lite When I am Playing Video In Background Mode, It Stops After Few Seconds When I Switched Off The Screen.
Furthermore I Have Tried Different Apps For Video Playback In Background, But Issue Is Still Exits.
Currently I Am Using “Mx Player Pro (Activated) Version 1.9.19 (Armv7 Neon)”
Android Version 8.0 Oreo
Is There Any Solution ?
Thanks.

Have you tried whitelisting the app in the battery management? So it dosnt close when the screen turns off?
