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:
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

Hello,
When I'm playing music using spotify or any other music player aside from the stock one, music controls still appear at the lockscreen but they do not work. Am I doing something wrong?

No, I have the same problem with every third-parts music player. Controls on the lockscreen works only with stock Huawei music player. (I am on B602)
I have the same issue.
I am using Spotify as my main music player, and lock screen displays what I am playing. So far, so good. When I want to change track though, it switches to stock music player and puts on the classic music which comes with the phone.

Same here. Seems to be a bug in the software.
Is there anyone who found a solution for this problem?
is there seek or scrubber in the lockscreen music control and can someone add a picture of lockscreen music controls

Not sure about the terminology. "Srubber" as in a line which allows you to rewind/fast forward?

No, it isn't. It's just aesthetics. :/

Same problem, Poweramp can be used with its own lockscreen so no problem with it.
Problem comes with SoundCloud, there seems no way to change or pause track if not by unlocking the screen or using Xposed with hardware buttons.
same problem is in mate 7 it is just thing what huawei has no idea .. you have to contact huawei about this ..
they need to fix this..
Well yeah we can use music players with custom lock screens. But some people prefer the stock one

If you use lock patern the controls will work. It won't work on huawei lock only.

Tried it. Not working for me.
Hi, I found a solution without the need to root your device in another forum. Since it's in German, I'll quickly translate the instructions:
In ES File Explorer go to /device/system/app
In that folder, look for the file "HwMediaCenter.apk" and touch to install it
If you get a warning not to install apps from unknown sources accept to install this app and proceed
The installation will start now and finish with an error message, which is to be expected
Restart your phone
The annoying default music player should have disappeared. The reason being that due to the unsuccessful installation attempt it got removed/deactivated.
Thanks, it works !
I had the same problem with Spotify, I had to remove Google Music too.
Maybe it's just about the default music player (It can be set in Settings/Manage apps/Default app settings) but since Spotify is not seen as a music player as such, I had no other choice.
Thanks again.
Thankyou

How do i make it fail? I need it to fail.
Neither of them work. They make the toast notifications but don't do anything. I used the Xposed MTCB module but that doesn't work with pocket casts and it only works with one app at a time. Does anyone know how to use those media control apps? I have a youtube video below which shows me attempting and failing with the HEADUNIT and CARSERVICE apps.
I have exactly the same problem. Have you found any solution?
Do you have any functionality with those buttons in any application at all? Or is it just those 2?
Have you tried this with another music application, such as PowerAmp?
Have you updated the ROM to the latest version from Malaysk?
Also, what is the make and model of the headunit you have?
First thought I had is, quit the one app that you're using, then open another app and try again. The stereo may get "confused" if you have more than one app open at a time.

Samsung apps need Samsung framework, Sony's apps don't
That's the reason you can't use Samsung player
