coming from a rooted and android wear ROM flashed gear 2 neo about 16 months ago, i thought i could get used to the way that tizen does its music player app, and its just not to my liking. several things about tizen irritate me, but this one is the one that comes up the most often. The music player app i was using in android wear showed the track/volume controls as default when music was playing which made it very nice to interact with when i was playing tunes. I cant seem to find a way to make tizen do this. Does anyone have any ideas about it?
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
Hi - I am new to Wear OS (just got a Watch 5 Pro). Is there an easy way to find the watch faces on the Google Play Store? I noticed that there are no separate categories for watch faces (other than just tiny ones). I do a search for watch faces but I don't think I'm getting a list of all that are available. Thanks in advance for any help!
Hi, Play store has categories. When I start Play Store on watch, there are about 8 categories, one of them is "Watch faces recommended for you" (but I have Ticwatch Pro 3 Ultra LTE based on Wear OS 2 watch, Wear OS 3 on Samsung is heavily customized by Samsung, so these categories may not be available and it may show just faces compatible with your watch). When accessing Play store on computer, there is category "Watch faces" and I can istall watch faces to phone and watch directly. But I believe most watch faces can't be found on Play store, but in some App/website and then installed to watch (similar way as installing apps from unknown sources on Android phone, enable adb and then connect over WiFi to youe watch and install apk witch watch faces).
PS: there is a list of apps on computer Play store:
Watch apps - Android Apps on Google Play
Enjoy millions of the latest Android apps, games, music, movies, TV, books, magazines & more. Anytime, anywhere, across your devices.
play.google.com
Not many (but it's more watch, than computer;-) and apps are also filtered by Wear OS version/country, but this link should give you overvies of available Wear OS apps.
PS2: There is way how to install nearly any Android app to Wear OS watch, but I use it as pedometer and for basic notifications and don't need to run unoptimized games/apps on it.
Thank you for the suggestions. I don't remember seeing a watch face category when looking at the Google Play Store on my computer. I must have missed it. Thanks again.
For tizenOs was more free watch faces.
I am making watch faces for Wear OS. I also cannot find any of my watch faces when I search, unless I search for my developer name (MURADIUM). Nobody around the world would just receive a revelation and search for my name. They don't...
Hello, like how you can sideload the Pixel watch APK to get the pixel watch faces on any other Wear OS watch, does anyone have the links to any other watch APKs? Specifically after the APKs for the standard watches on other Wear OS smart watches.
Fossil, Huawei, TAG APKs etc. I remember there were some around for the Asus watch years ago but I've lost them
I have the Fossil ones.. I am looking for a copy of Pandora for wear os. It use to be on the playstore but Google took it off because Pandora stopped supporting it. So if you have it on your watch or have a way to get it from a friend or online somewhere let me know been looking high and low for it.
So that we can get a pixel watch experience without rooting the watch.
If your watch is on wear os then yes
