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 everyone!
I wanted to check in and see if anyone knows that it may be possible to get Play Music on our speaker sporting watches at least with All Access streaming as now we have all the tools to do so including wifi and speaker support and would love to be able to stop having to sync specific albums to the storage all the time to use it. This would be a pretty popular app and I would definitely pay for one like this.
Anyone else think they would enjoy a mod or app like this to play music. I think spotify can do this on the watch but I don't have a subscription to spotify and wanna stick with my google play music. :highfive:
I am currently on a Huawei Watch.
So, a quick off the cuff maybe may be in order...
Here is why...
First, those of us without speakers may not miss out on this either what with full Bluetooth support already here. ...
Second, we can already install apps using adb. We can also install those appsm to specific folders. This is easier with watches thatmplkug in through USB, but all wear watches support adb so installing the Google software is possible. We can probably install play music directly.
Third, though our watches do not all have native direct wifi support, many do, and I am guessing it is going to be supported by the 1.4 OS. However, even if it is not, if you install an app in your /system folder, it can access wifi directly as it needs.
Fourth, and here is where the good news ends... Google play music is not a stand alone app. It relies on Google play services, and they are to say the least, complicated. We have them on the watch to communicate to the phone, but not the full version. So, I have no idea how well the app will install, let alone work. Likewise, Google only allows developers to access certain libraries and play music has not released any (to my knowledge) for Wear other than the typical hooks for controlling your music.
So, all of this adds up to a maybe...

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
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.
Good Eve,
I was wondering if it is possible to manually install APK on the watch without having to use the Samsung market.
I explain, I am just bought the watch in a country where Spotify does not work (Israel) however since I am french and we have Spotify back there I do have a Spotify account and use it for music all the time, but since I live in Israel, the Spotify app won't show in the Samsung App Market for some reasons..
Any suggestions?
Can try this.
To install Spotify on your Gear S2 / S3 in a country outside the USA, do the following:
Turn off the phone
Remove your simcard
Turn it back on again
Clear cache/data of "Samsung Apps"
Run Samsung Apps via Hola VPN (free on the Play Store) via USA using wifi.

Thank you going to try this tonight. ????
It worked! Problem solved. Thank you very much!
If anyone is interested I modded the Spotify app and changed the default green to other colors.

How to?
How to spotify apk in my watch?
Do you have Spotify Premium Account or not ? if you have Premium it is easy to play Spotify on your watch but if you are using the free account,you may need the third-party tool Tunelf Spotify Music Converter to help you . you can download Spotify music to your device no matter free users or premium accounts, and even convert Spotify music to DRM-free audio files. Then you can listen to music from the watch itself, either streaming over Bluetooth audio or the internal speaker after you've transferred all Spotify songs to your Samsung Gear S3 which has 4GB built in.
{Mod edit: Quoted post deleted}
Thanks. I would like to have a try. I wonder its converting speed. Is the speed 10X faster than the real-time song? I am testing AudKit tool to download Spotify songs to MP3 and its maximum speed is 10X. But I am still looking for a faster one.
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?
