[Q] Smart watch with full music playback control - General Questions and Answers

Hi I would like to know whether there are any of the smart watch compatible with nexus devices out there that I can freely choose music on my device via the smart watch(not just the previous/next track, play, pause.). Personally I would like to buy the Samsung gear fit but I don't know if it can do the thing I mention above. Thanks

Is there an app like Shazam, Soundhound or Musicmatch for the Gear S2?

I used to have a Gear 2 which used a program called Gearam for music detection. I was wondering if there is anything available for the S2 to detect songs like Shazam does? I can currently do it on my Huawei watch and am thinking of getting an S2 but not having this would be a deal breaker. I appreciate any feedback on this.
havent heard anything like that .. but sounds great ...
I think everyone should tweet and message on all social networks to app developers so they see that many of us want support for this watch .. for example I already tweeted to Waze .. will see what they will replay
consider to use Music Player S2

Rplacement app for Milk?

Now that Samsung has decided they are lactose intolerant and will no longer support Milk how are you folks going to stream music? This is one of the major reasons I want to buy the 3g enabled Gear S2. Am I delirious to think this was a good idea to begin with? Is there a valid replacement for Milk in the works?
Well, I am replying to myself as is the way most every day.
Just got off the phone with Samsung and they are replacing the Milk app with Sound Cloud. I'm not sure of the interface but I will be pleased if it is similar to the Milk one. That bezel control is too sexy to eliminate....
I have all my music in my Google Play... I'd much rather stream from there than whatever random music is on spotify, etc... I wish there was a way to do that on the gear alone.

Smart TV Remote for the Gear S3

Hello everyone!
Anyone knows if there is an app for the Gear S3 to control the Samsung TV? Such as volume, mute, channels, Turn on/off...
I believe it is very important to get one from Samsung if there isn't..

Unfortunately, no. Samsung does have one for the phone itself called Samsung Smart View but currently only Direct TV has an app for the Gear.
Sure would be better to have a remote for the TV on the Gear, anyway you can use a workaround.
Install Anymote on your smartphone, then install Tasker and create one or more tasks that using Anymote as plugin. Then install Tasks2 on the Gear to launch these tasks.
I created a simple task that stops playing on my Nexus Player, then turns off the TV.
Also created tasks for muting TV and to set volume up/down.
Moreover I am testing Autonotification plugin for Tasker, which let to interact with the notifications shown on the Gear.

Android Wear User Questions

I current use a Sony Smartwatch 3 running Android Wear connected to an HTC10.
Is there a Phone Weaver/Macrodroid equivalent app for the Gear 2 or 3. Using PhoneWeaver or Macrodroid, I can use my watch to send commands to my phone to switch Wi-fi/Bluetooth/Airplane Mode on and off on the phone.
I use the HTC Music app to play music files stored on the phone. The watch displays some basic controls so I can pause/play skip tracks using the watch. Could I do this with the Gear

You can control your music with the gear using the music app widget on the watch. It works with many music apps to play pause and skip. Also there is a app that can control bass function of your phones quick toggle in the app store. Forgot the name of it but i know there's one there

Question Galaxy Watch 4 Bixby with Spotify

Hi folks
I used to have the Galaxy Watch and I've upgraded to the Galaxy Watch 4 and it's quite disappointing that Bixby can't play songs from Spotify even for premium subscribers and even when it is paired to my Samsung phone. I've so far sideloaded and used the modified Spotify apk which allows me to search and stream but it also doesn't work it Bixby. I have even sideloaded Google Asistant but after it says it will play the song it always says there was a problem as it doesn't seem to work with native watch or phone apps. Is there any workaround for this function either in Spotify or any other music streaming service such as YouTube Music? If not is anyone currently working on it?
Thanks all
Yeah the Android ecosystem is so broken. I can't imagine apple releasing a watch without such basic functions.
Surely someone will find a way to make galaxy watch 4 bixby work with Spotify
Ok
