Hello there, I'm a new user of Android Auto, looking for some help !
Can anyone confirm whether, when I play Spotify via AA, it uses the downloaded tracks rather than streaming them ? I'm concerned that playing Spotify will eat up my data !
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
I'll confirm that. I use Spotify with AA all the time. It barely uses my data.

If you are talking about the setup app, that is what I used to set up my ChromeCast. It worked very well. I plan on keeping the app on my phone for occasions when I may want to take my ChromeCast with me to some other wifi location.

Seems like you guys need to create a guide on how to use them together.

What does that have to do with the ChromeCast? This app is for communication with a PC, not a ChromeCast on a TV.
AirDroid runs through the Chrome browser. If you want it to work with ChromeCast, you'd have to cast the tab you have AirDroid open in on your computer to your TV.
Does seem a bit pointless really, it's a wi-fi app used to transfer files from/to your PC without having to mess about with USB leads etc, why would you need to display it on your TV screen too ?
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

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.

Yes, Im using mifi 3G dongle, PowerAmp (PowerAmp seems the only player that work with volume-control) and Music remote app. Works on Play/Stop, Next, Prev, Vol-up and Vol-down
Music remote Apk is no longer available on google play (it was about a week ago when I looked around to find the same as what you are looking for), I have this apk (extracted from essexplorer) but Im not allowed to post link here.
