Do these require the default apps - Samsung Galaxy Gear

On my gear I noticed that the quick reply feature for text messages does not work unless you are using the stock app I the note 3. Also the media controller did not work with any app other than the Samson music app. Did I configure something wrong or is that the way it is designed?

can't talk about text replying, but 3rd party music players works for me.
i'm using poweramp and i am able to control music using my gear. it doesn't show albumart though.
just make sure you do not have more than 1 music player installed, as sometimes it goes crazy and it will control music through samsung app...

dont know with the messages, but for the media controller i got a dirty fix that works well in my case.
i only use spotify for music, and a audiobook player app, so i simply froze the stock music app with titanium backup and now it works like a charm for my other apps.
the funny thing was that before i froze it, i could control other audio apps, but i had to first push a button on the media controller, then go to the phone and kill the stock music app, after that it recognized the other audio app..
hope this helps :good:

Music - stock music player "notification controller" bug. Any fix?

The stock Music player on the xoom has an interactive notification, as I am sure you all know, where you can control your music while its playing in the background with the little headphones icon at the bottom of the screen. Since the beginning of owning the xoom I have experianced this icon randomly disappearing from the notification bar and not coming back sometimes even after restarting the app.
Does anyone else get this? If so, anyone know a solution?
Ok I get it. Apparently its not a topic of interest. ...just kidding (well sort of)
But really can anyone at least say if they also get this problem from time to time? Iam just curious.

I experience this bug as well. In fact, I am listening to music right now and the notification controller is missing. I am on an Asus Transformer though..

Must be in the original app. Doesn't surprise me, guess its on to waiting for an update.

all you have to do is go back into the music player then hit the home button and it should appear, annoying but it works
i get the complete opposite of this. my music icon (aka the headphones) will randomly appear when im not listening to music. it's only started since i flashed my canadian xoom with the US 3.1 firmware

[Q] Need music app on I9305 running Sentinal ROM

Please help. I need a music app similar / same as Samsung music app in that I can set it to exit / close down in x minutes etc. And also I want to be able to hit exit / end to exit the app. The Apollo app that comes with Sentinal doesn't exactly allow you to do these tasks. I've try winamp, realplayer and various others - none will allow me to do this.
Thanks in advance
If you got tasker.May you can make any music app do that?

Tasker might seem a little tricky actually. My advice is you use Poweramp, It has power-off timer

Thanks guys....I don't know why developers don't include this function. On Samsung stock music player you can set it to turn off / exit in 5, 10,15 minutes etc. and there's an action function button to exit the app....I've tried my music apps and have found none to do this...very annoying.

Pebble + tasker Q?

Is it possible to send commands to the pebble to open up a certain pebble app via the smartphone. Such as using tasker to create a task that when a music app is opened a certain pebble app is opened on the watch to control the volume or skip to the next song.

Like he already told you, yes you can, using that app. There are intents you can send to open up and close the watch app, among other things.
Example of Tasker creation that uses that feature:

What are these intents to open or close a watch app? Specifically the Music app? I guess these are part of the SDK, but without having to download it, does anyone have these handy?
Sorry to bump a dead thread, but I'm looking to do the same thing.
Edit: I figured out how to do it! Inside the settings for Music Boss, go to Tasker Integration and make sure that launch watch app intent is selected.
Then in Tasker, make a profile that activated when your music app is open. Go to to tasks, and create a send intent action, then select the action field and paste this into it: ca.rebootsramblings.musicboss.LAUNCH_MB_WATCHAPP
All done! You can also make an exit task by typing CLOSE_MB_WATCHAPP instead.
Edit 2: Oh my, you can even have it change which app your controlling. I now have Music Boss open up on the pebble and switch which app it controls when I open Play Music, Beyondpod, Netflix, or Hulu.

Metafy doesnt show track after spotify update :(

Hello.
I've been using an app in my androidphone "Metafy" that shows track and artist on my pebble when using spotify. Since the latest update of Spotify this does not work any more. Any one have the same problem?

Found an alternative app for sending Spotify info to the Pebble music controller that seems to work.
(BTW I'm using galaxy s3 and liquid smooth ROM 4.4.2).
why don't you share what you found as an alternative?
Alternative app
I use Media Utilities. It works with Spotify and Podcast (and possibly more).
The disadvantage is, that it needs notification access to read out the current track/podcast. Additionally the user interface is a little odd and buggy.
But it works and nothing bad has happened yet.
...yay, can't post links as a newbie, but I bet you can find it yourself in the Play store ( com.batescorp.notificationmediacontrols.alpha )

Sorry I forgot to put that in there. It was not a good solution anyways it was a strange app that constantly increased the volume.
Tried Media Utilities as posted above and it works!
It does not show Album though.
In the app I added spotify, and then in settings under Application Integration i checked the marker next to Pebble Watch.
Use Music Boss to fix this, and you'll also gain the best watch app for Pebble as a bonus n

Screen wakes up when music switches?

Every time I switch a track or a new podcast it wakes up my screen. Is there a way to disable this? It's never happened on any other phone before.

I am, it happens on Pocketcast too.
I'm using Google Play Music, don't have that problem (tried by leaving app in the foreground with screen off as well as with app running in background in the notification area).
Possible Pushbullet sync issue?
I have this exact issue in Google Play Music when connected to my cars via bluetooth. But it is only when I force switch tracks if it's just playing its fine.
