is it possible??
i actually wanted to do this because i want to play the music through my tablet but want all the notifications from my phone. :laugh::laugh:
I'd be interested too! I don't believe it's possible. However, the Spotify app lets you control one instance from another if both devices are on the same network. I control Spotify on my phone from my watch using remote widget while it controls my tablet which is playing via my Bluetooth speaker.

Ok so I was wondering, is it possible to set up my old ipod touch so that when I connect it to my speakers I can have it stream the audio coming from my android device?
If this isn't possible is there a way to remotely control the music already on my ipod touch?
Basicly I want to be able to control the music on my speakers wirlessly from my android device without having to use my computer, but rather an ipod touch.
Thanks for any help in advance
(They are both on the same wifi network which should make things much easier)
Anyone? I tried veency but I can't connect to it from Android VNC
Bump, still cant figure this out
I don't think so

Hey guys, so I've been using my nexus 7 hooked up to my home speakers to play music for a while now. I've been trying to figure out a way that I can control my my nexus using my one x phone, either by bluetooth or wifi. There is an app called tablet remote that lets me do the exact thing I want, but I cant scroll through my library and choose another song, I can only use the next track, stop and play buttons. So I'm wondering if there is a way to pair the tablet and the smartphone together so that I can choose what song to play and what not. Thanks!
I'm curious to find out if it's possible to stream audio from my (networked) Sony Bravia KDL-32W650A to my M8. I'd like to be able to sync the audio so I can use headphones with the phone, so I don't disturb my wife and daughter while watching late at night. Using a direct headphone connection is out of the question, as I have a rather large K9 that likes to roam and trip over any wires running across the floor. Since I already have TV SideView and Smart Remote on my handset to control the TV, it would be nice to be able to stream the audio back to it.
Any suggestions?
On edit: It appears that this should be possible (mirroring) via Miracast, but appears that it may be broken in Sense 6.

What I know, you can send audio and video from android devices to TV, but not from TV to devices.

I'm aware of that, but I want to stream in the other direction (just audio). I know Koush was/is working on integrating this into his AllCast app, but I think it only works with FireTV.
Hi folks,
I got this new phone and I have a question regarding Bluetooth and Spotify. With my old smartphones(ZUK Z2 Pro or Samsung S7) connecting Spotify through Bluetooth, I can change songs/volumes on my car dash entertainment system. But with this smartphone I can not. Only thing shown is "Sony XZ Premium", which is the name of the device.
Do I need special configurations for this phone to get it work with the dash system?
Yours
I laso tested other apps like vlc etc. and none of them are controlable with the wheel controls or the car system. Seems to be a bug....
I don't have an issue with music control via my car to Deezer.
There is an general issue with bluetooth in Android 7.1.1 version. I have a problem with song information not being updated, however my car controls works, for most of the time. It seems like this problem is not present in newer cars/radios.
Yeah, I tried today also other apps like VLC/Deezer/Music app and all of them have this bug. I hope there is a fix soon. It is really annoying while driving that I can not change a song I don't want to listen to. I contaced also Sony Xperia Care, but they wanted to tell me it the car which is defective and not the smartphone...
sorry to go off on a tangent, but have you got deezer to work? I cannot for the life of me get deezer to work for me. Can you let me know what settings you are using, eg cache, etc... I have a support call open with deezer, even trying their beta but app just does not work - does not play anything...
Yeah I'm having this issue with Google Play music. Guessing it's a Bluetooth 5 codec.
Reported on Sony's forums as well,
Fingers crossed for a fix

I have the same problem, Spotify will not update the track information on what's playing. I hope there is a fix for it soon, kinda annoying. That and the wifi issues. Lucky I have unlimited data.
Mine just connected like normal. Seems like it sounds better than my last phone also. I did have a problem where it kinda froze the Bluetooth on my receiver and had to restart that. My receiver is pretty old though. Spotify working fine with it but with your same issue
Same issue with a mini cooper s 2017. I'm able to connect to the car for phone calls and contact sharing but unable to play any music via bluetooth. It seems that the phone shows as connected but the car just says as connecting. I really hope this issue is fixed soon.

Well Minis are technically BMWs so I guess the bluetooth interface is the same.
I managed to stream audio to my friend's Chevy Cruize but without the streering wheel controls (skip, vol up/down).=
Try pairing again and update your iDrive system (ask your dealership for more info about that)

Spoke to Sony who refuse to believe their device is a fault.. No plans to release any software tweaks till Android P apparently.

After messing around with settings and bluetooth I was able to achieve a connection to media audio. If you have Google Play Music installed, that is part of the bluetooth culprit.
1. Force stop Google Play Music under app settings.
2. Turn off bluetooth.
3. Toggle bluetooth back on, and under BMW/Mini go to the media menu and select your phone, after a few seconds you should be able to achieve a bluetooth media connection and you can run Google Play Music again.
I'm not sure if this can fix the spotify issue, but I was able to get my Google Play Music to work via bluetooth on my Mini, it is kind of annoying having to do all those steps anytime I get off the car, but then again, my drives are usually pretty long so I don't mind doing it at least a couple times a day.
Let me know if that worked for you.
Hi All,
For the life of me i cannot get this working.
So basically i want to control tracks etc from the Gear S3 watch app, i have confirmed i have changed the app to look at phone and not locally.
It shows the current playing track artwork but is always stuck on "Play" symbol, and clicking pause, skip, achieves nothing.
It just tells me to play song on phone (even though i am)
I get the same issue no matter what app i use on the phone (poweramp,samsung,google music etc)
I have forced closed the music app from the phone, its never worked, any ideas?
I am using Apple airpods as my bluetooth headphones
I have the same exact issue, using the Wi-Fi model on a Note 8. I see the content playing on my watch (YouTube Chromecast and other videos), the titles are correct, but when I press Play, Skip or Rewind, NOTHING happens! I miss this feature from Android Wear so much!
Did you ever find a solution to this or does ANYONE know how to fix this issue please? Thank you!
OK, maybe not a solution, but can anyone confirm they have this issue and it's known?
I can confirm I have the same issue when streaming to my chromecast. I see the content I'm playing but i can't control it (nothing happens when i press the buttons, play, forward, etc...).
I have both Samsung Gear S3 Frontier and Galaxy S7.
Been searching the web but all I see is people who can and cannot do it but I can't find any solutions. I guess it must be a bug since other people claim they can do it.
Please help us!
Ok i found the solution for everyone who has the same problem.
In the Gear Wearables App under "Notfications" and then under "Manage Notifications" i had to enable the music app to send and recieve messages. After that it works perfect.
No Music App Under S3 Notifications

I was really happy to get your fix but when I went into notifications and manage notifications on Galaxy Wearables, there was absolutely no music app to toggle on. Am I missing something??
Thank you for creating this post... now I know that it is possible to control music app on the phone by watch!!!

Did you set the music player to control phone or watch? click on the watch icon in music app then a pop up to allow you to change to phone. The music app on the watch can play music on phone or watch but you have to set it to which you want to use
music app says connect to phone when phone is connected.
its not working nokia 6.1 plus music app says connect to phone when phone is connected. unable to control phone's music app through watch
I have the same issue with my Nokia 6.1 plus. When I play music on phone the background on the watch changes but can't control music through watch.
Talked to Samsung support and they said it is compatibility issue.
I am facing the same problem with my Nokia 8 as well. I'm trying to play music through my watch and it says connect to phone. When I click on connect it says "Couldn't connect. Try again?"
Music controls not working with Nokia
Yep, I have the same issue with my Samsung Galaxy Watch Active and Nokia 8. This is the only real compatibility issue I discovered so far. The Nokia has almost stock Android so I wonder what causes the incompatibility and whether it is likely to be fixed. To my humble opinion the music player is a basic functionality so I hope Samsung or HMD invests in a solution.
Try pairing it through regular Bluetooth settings.

That's not possible. You can only connect using the Samsung Wear app.

Yesterday I bought an SM-R600 running Tizen 3, the music app worked perfectly with my Nokia 8 on Android 9. Today, I updated to Tizen 4 and the music app stopped working. Is ther any way to downgrade my watch?
the music player app on the watch is broken in my opinion because on my nokia 9 i can use the spotify app fine so the phone and watch are working as they should , so now i just use the watch to control spotify , i use my huawei freelace headphones connected to the phone , i just use the headphones to answer calls and control the music if it isnt spotify lol , android need to learn from apple , the way their stuff works together makes android look like such a bodge job
go into the wear app and forget the watch, repair it and itll very likely work. You can also go into the watch's settings and select connect to a new phone
I’m also having Nokia 6.1 plus and having the same issue also. I can see the music cover but cannot control the music player on my watch. It’s sayin to connect via Bluetooth,I tried and it saying it cannot connect. Anyone any solution
Same problem here! Nokia 8.
