Stock Music & Power Off

Hello all once again,
I come to you with (yet) another question and possibly a request.
I really enjoy using the Stock Music Tab that comes with the Touch Pro, but an issue I have is whenever music is playing and I press the Power button, the music stops. As such, I was wondering, is there a registry edit or cab file which would allow the player to keep playing music after the power button has been manually pushed to be off?
I know that S2P allows the music to continue playing after I press the Power button, so what is the difference between it and the Stock Music Tab which is preventing the latter from doing the same thing? Is it possible that it only does this when in conjunction with S2U2?
Anyways, thanks in advance.

I have a Fuze and it works out of the box (power is off and music is playing).

[Q] car mode and google music controls

Does anyone know if its possible to add google music to the HTC car mode app?
You can click the + and add the ICON but the controls do not work in car mode. They are stuck to just HTC music app.
Back on the htc one x you could go into music app and select google music so it would work in car mode but doesnt seem to be the case now.
Not sure if its just not possible at this point.
Thanks

Guess im the only one this bothers haha

The way Android music players work is whichever app was started last AND a song was started in that player it is now in control of the buttons..
so for example you can add the Google Play Music app to the car dock then go into it and play a song from that point on the dock's main screen it will still have control of the play and pause next and back buttons.
It will not be updated on the dock screen showing what the song is because that is part of the HTC music app but if you are on a car stereo via bluetooth for example, the song titles information are still played from the Google Music Player to the stereo..

[Q] Controlling Music From Watch - How?

I can't seem to figure out how to control music playing on my phone from my watch (using Google Music phone app). Is something supposed to pop up when I play music on my phone? I don't see an "app" on the watch that controls this. Note that I'm using a Note 3.
What am I missing?

You get card of current song and if u swipe to left u can advance and swipe to right one more time to stop I believe.

Actually I figured this out. You have to start the playback on the phone first. Then you get a notification that let's you pause / play, Swipe to the left and you next and once more to the left you get previous, but that is the extent of the stock music control. This worked with EVERY music player I have, not just Google stock Music player.
You can also control volume if you get the Wear Volume app - it appears as an additional notification card under the main music notification. And here is also something that is WAY cool - if you download musiXmatch app, you can scroll down and choose to display scrolling LYRICS to the current song!! I can't get BOTH volume AND lyrics to work at the same time however. Note the Volume works with any music app you choose in it's settings. However, musiXmatch only works with Google Play Music player.

There are also some voice controls to start playback. Such as OK Google, play me some music (that will start an "I'm feeling lucky" shuffle). OK Google, Play Some *artist name* . there are some others, but I use those two often.
Not sure if it matters, but this is on an HTC One M7, stock 4.4.2 Sense 6, Google Play Music.

I've just finished developing my Wear Music Controller app to solve this problem for me:

You can play/pause/next/prev/stop/vol-up/vol-down from your watch! Works with all music apps. Let me know what you think!

[Q] Is there a way to control music player from the watch ?

Hi all,
I have not been able to find any way to control the Google Music or any other application from the watch. I was expecting not being able only to launch the music application from it, but also to control the volume or to switch the song.
I have found in Google Play Store applications like this (trial and then allow you to purchase the license):
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.barkside.music
If there is no native way to do this, i really cannot understand as i see this one of the most logical applications to use from the watch.
Cheers.

You can play, pause, skip forward and back tracks with the Google Play Music app and Android Wear directly.
When playing music it should automatically display on the watch.
If not, check and make sure you haven't muted the app.

Music Boss works for most players.

I haven't muted the application. The strange thing is that just in the moment i hit the play button from the phone (Sony Xperia Z3 with Android KitKat 4.4.4) the notification for the music appears, but hides immediately. Maybe its an issue from my phone.
Thank you very much for the quick answer .

Thank you, i will try to continue searching the reason why the Google Music default notification disappears immediately, but if not, i may try Music Boss.

I'm trying to determine the benefit of Music Boss. I have used it with the 3 main audio apps I tend to use, all of which notify to my watch (TuneIn Pro, Sirius, and Google Play Music). They are set up in Music Boss as well. So when any of them are playing, I have two different cards - one for the app itself and one for Music Boss. I can't seem to see how Music Boss gives offers anything beyond the separate apps, other than a common interface. Can anyone with more experience using this app tell me what i'm missing? Thanks!

same here, I found that android wear supports quite a few music apps out-of-the-box.
like vanilla music - they havent released a wear-related update afaik, but when I play music with the app it shows up as a card on my phone with play-pause and I can swipe into a next-previous-vol up-vol down screen

Sony Walkman, Google Music and Spotify works on my watch. No need for Music Boss or anything. Phone is Z2.
Sent from my D6503 using XDA Free mobile app

I finally found the problem. Sony Xperia has a free application called SmartKey:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sonymobile.extras.liveware.extension.smartkey
With this application it is possible to assign extra functions to the button to answer calls in the headphones.
Anyway, this application was interfering with the SmartWatch option to show the controls in the watch graphic interface. Removing it or disabling it solves the problem.
Thank you very much for the help .

SoundCloud support

I've noticed that SoundCloud is showing up in Google home app -> my music & audio apps along side play music and spotify.
Being at work I'm unable to test if it is really working on Home so I'm asking you if is there anyone who can test this?
