Hey guys,
Just received the phone and I'm tyring to sync some music but it won't send at all.
I keep getting "Sending failed. failed to send the tracks o your gear"
Pictures send fine.. just the music.
I have bluetooth on, wifi on, everything works fine except this music beeswax
ANy ideas?
THanks
I have a similiar problem, but my phone shows the files were sent, but when I open the music player on the watch it only has the option to play music from phone. Even when I put it in standalone mode, there is no option to view/play local music. Interestingly, the storage indicates there are audio files on the watch.
You need to connect a Bluetooth headset to your Gear S2. When connected to my Bluetooth headphones it gives me the option to play audio files from my watch or phone. When not connected to my headphones, it will only play files on my phone.

I had the same issue with my initial setup with my Galaxy S6 and Gear S2. My music files were scattered in different folders. Moved them all to the Samsung>Music folder and it worked after that. Haven't tried other folders so don't know if that particular folder is required or just somewhere less buried than my email client download folder etc.

I had Llama set up so that the following actions would occur when car bluetooth connects:
1. turn on car mode
2. send media play (android 3.0+) button
3. turn off wifi
and when car bluetooth disconnects:
1. turn off car mode
2. send media pause (android 3.0+) button
3. turn on wifi
It worked perfectly for many months until yesterday when I received the OTA update from AT&T on my I337 Galaxy S4, which updated android from UCUFNC1 to UCUFNI1. Now when the bluetooth connects, car mode turns on and wifi turns off (just like I wanted) but the default music player doesn't turn on and play music like it did before. The music player doesn't even turn on now. I've tried reconfiguring, rebooting, uninstalling and re-installing Llama, but nothing works. Any ideas as to how I can fix this?
Have you tried first adding a command for starting the music player app before the send play button command?
Cause that's what I had to add to get my BT setup to work correctly via Llama:
Eg.
Run Play Music
BTW
What exactly does "car mode" do?

I fixed it! All I had to do change the order and put 'car mode' last in the actions.
Car mode is supposed to put the phone in a hands-free mode for driving where it does things like read the texts you receive out loud.
So I just reinstalled a stock rom back on my nexus 6p just to get the samsung pay working again and started tinkering with Spotify (I have the premium version) app. now I can't seem to get it to connect to my phone. blue tooth model. All searches really doesn't provide any result or not any real ones. anyone out there know of a solution? was there an update that just blew this up?
US location.
blue tooth works on everything else. just not spotify apparently.
TIA
Re-install spotify on the gear... happened to me as well.

Have you rebooted the watch after Uninstall?

I have this problem too kind of.. When I open the Spotify app on the Gear, it keeps telling me to connect bluetooth or something like that.
The thing is.. when I play music on my phone through Spotify, if I turn the dial on the Gear to the stock music player, it actually shows the Spotify information, and I'm able to control the Spotify music from there (play, pause, next, previous, etc...).
Hopefully you will have some success!

this doesn't work for offline music. anyone?
The way I got Spotify to work was to connect to WiFi manually. It seems to want to stream over WiFi but send commands over BlueTooth.
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.
When I connect to my car (Volvo) with this phone and play music it just says 'streaming' on my car's display.
Usually it showed track number artist time etc..
Any idea why or how to fix?
Tried to switch to 1.3 instead of 1.4 in the settings but no luck.
I don't have phone but I use BT with music, podcast, audiobooks etc streaming to my car. Have you tried a different music player?

I got the phone two days ago, and also have a Volvo, so I know how convenient it is to see the track title and artist in the car display when using Bluetooth to stream audio. I'll see what mine does later today and let you know how that goes. Hope to get it working!
EDIT 3/9: Paired the phone to my Volvo and it took a while, but connected just fine. Went to media and played music in Youtube - it displays the youtube name in the Volvo screen. Used VLC to play some music from the device, got the artist and track name in the Volvo display also, so no problems here so far. Haven't tested it with other media players yet (I like to use blackplayer). So if you don't see the media info, what player are you using?
I use 'youtube music' and the screen just says 'streaming' oh and the name of.my phone
What happens when you use other apps? Have you tried deleting the device from the bluetooth paired list on the Volvo and pairing it again?
All apps just say 'streaming'.
I tried now to put bluetooth profile on 1.6.
But I can't test it I'm on holidays now..
Hey guys got my fold 2 and watch 3 last week. Love both of them. Im a home builder so leaving the phone in the truck and using the watch all day works great. Anyway, transferring music files over (Mp3) I don't use Spotify, the fold shows certain music files I have, some transfer no problem and others say can't be transferred, then phone just shows its connecting and doesn't do anything, all I have to do is hit the back button and just goes back to wearables and everything is fine but, those certain mp3's won't transfer. Interesting thing is if I sync my old LG v30 to the watch it transfers the files no problem. I'm stuck on this one. Every file is Mp3, no difference under properties. Having to reboot and sync watch back and fourth between the two phones is getting ridiculous. Any help would be great. Thanks

What size are the MP3's? Are the ones getting stuck much different regarding their size??
Are the MP3 files all stored in the same place on the phone?
Check permissions are all ticked for Galaxy Wearable, Galaxy Watch Plugin on the phone
On the watch Settings/Apps/Permissions turn on all for Music/Gallery
Maybe try converting your failed MP3's to another format (The Galaxy Wearable app and the Music app support MP3, M4A, AAC, OGG, and WMA audio files)
That's all I can think of.
