Nike+ and google music cloud.

{SGSII EPIC TOUCH 4G} I downloaded Nike+ last night and was trying to play music while I am running and it would not play, most of my music are through google music cloud. Do you guys have any suggestion or fix for this?

Issues with Sony Smart Watch 2 - Pebble does it better

Hi All
Just for my Sony Smart Watch 2 yesterday and feeling a little underwhelmed
I also have a Pebble which I feel at the moment is better.
Two things:
1. I cannot get the Sony to stay in control of Google Play music when its playing. It will do the volume but then when you go to forward a track it defaults to the Walkman app and starts that and plays the demo tracks. I have tried disabling the Walkman app but then the app on the watch just crashes.
2. The second and less important thing is Facebook integration. On the Pebble it will deal with two Facebook accounts being run on the phone. One in the Facebook app and the other Facebook Messenger. Both running different accounts. The Sony seems to only recognize the actual Facebook app.
Anyone have a solution to these?
Oh I just thought of a third, lack of watch faces! And especially watch faces giving a lot of information. The Pebble face I use has time, weather and phone battery status...
Well theres my rant!

How are you even controlling media from the watch at all? The media player app is missing in the Android app store at the moment. However, even on the Smartwatch 1 I believe the Sony official app was locked to the default media player on your device. Most brands of phone have their own take on the music player, such as Sony's Walkman app. The volume control is not related to the app as its the master output volume. But the track changes will be sent to a specific app, not the one that's currently playing music.

Now, there is an upgrade of Music Player Extras by Sony that allow to control Google Play Music correctly. You can set volume, play/pause song, go to next or prev song; but u can't see Artist or Title of the song from the smartwatch.

That's an improvement. Shame about no song details. Thanks for the heads up

Yeah I spotted it last night. I have an HTC phone and before yesterday night, there was no music player at all for the smartwatch 2 hence my previous comment. I have it now.

I too have an HTC phone (One - M7) and the Smartwatch 2. This Music Extras is the only one that work properly with Play Music until now.

Does anyone know if it's possible to disable or uninstall the New Events aggregator plugin. The one that's just a yellow circle with a number in the middle. I'm using WatchIt!, so don't think I need this New Events thing.

Looking for music app

Looking for a music app that can display artwork, change tracks, volume and most importantly playlists for Google play music. Any know of one?

I am afraid that changing playlists is not possible because Google music has closed api (?). My experience with controlling Google music is best via official widget and 'remote widget' smartwatch extension.

Smartmote is the absolute best control app for google music. well worth the price.

As above , remote widget does everything you want but without playlist support, as mentioned.

I have purchased both Smartmote and Remote Widget and would say that Smartmote is hands down the best option, minus the playlists controls as mentioned above.

+1 for smartremote. Another to consider is Watch Motion. It has a free trial.

Music Control for SmartWatch 2 works very well

Screenshots

Can someone please share screens of new musicplayer controls at lockscreen? And does lockscreen notification work when music is playing?
