Hey guys, I love the feature to long press volume button that is built into AKOP to change tracks however, it does not work with one of the apps I am using called qloud, Qloud basically does the same thing as Google Music (stream music from pc->phone). It has a built in music player and every time I try to use the feature android opens up Google Music and starts playing a song. I think the built in music player is not being recognized as a music player. If I cannot get it to work with that feature I was wondering if there are any apps that could to do the same thing?
Thanks!
It apparently won't work with Google Music or for instance Player Pro (my favorite) either... Should it be working at all?
Hello,
I am experiencing problem when using "listen to" voice command on Google Now.
More specifically, Google Now recognizes it as an action, but I don't have the bar for auto launching Google Music Play after some time (I have the bar for other commands though). I have to click on the action for it to launch, which is not very handy, especially in car.
Has this happened to anyone. Is there any known fix?
Thanks in advance for the answer!
That is how Google built it. There's no workaround for that unless someone has modded Google Now.
Or maybe a third party app like this one can be of help.
So this is normal behavior?
This is weird, because on that video, the guy seem able to auto launch music "real estate" (0:48)

Maybe they changed it in an update or something. I have Apollo music player and when I ask Now to play a song, the name appears with an Apollo icon next to it. I have to manually hit the play button to launch the app.
Thank you for your feedback.
Mine proposed Youtube as well. I froze it so google music is the only choice. However, listen to command still doesn't autoplay.
I guess there is still room for improvement in google now...
Short and sweet, but someone had mentioned a mix of 4.4.2 OTA and GPM's update fixed being able to play music via Touchless Control. I'm on 4.4 (not 4.4.2) VZW and can confirm that Touchless Control now will play any song in your phone. Give it a shot and let us here at XDA know if the same is present for you all cheers!
You can only play the songs if you bought them through Google play right? I never bought any songs from Google play, I just uploaded my collection into google music. Whenever I use touchless control to play music, Google search just takes me to google play, it never opens the music app
Nope, I have Ariana Grande's CD ripped myself and it's stored on my "sdcard" not the cloud.
EDIT: I do have music through GPM's store, and those worked fine pre-update, but now music that I've copied to the internal memory works, so it seems to have been fixed for all media that GPM sees.

Don't know if you were referring to my post in the 4.4.2 thread, but I am experiencing the same with touchless controls playing music. Most of my music is ripped and stored on the phone as well, and it pretty much plays anything I say using the phrase, example "play The Beatles". Since you don't have 4.4.2 like I do I assume the update to GPM fixed it. Thanks for posting.
I think it only works in the US.

When I say "Okay Google Now, play The Script" (or any music) it verifies it's going to play it, goes into the GPM and then it just pops up a keyboard and the song file, as if I had searched for it via GPM and not Google Now and doesn't start playing it automatically. I have Google Now set to start playing GPM as my player of choice, but it just acts like I was looking for it and doesn't actually play it.
Any thoughts? Thanks!

Mine does the same thing with the keyboard, (don't understand what the deal is with the keyboard) but it plays a song. Are you sure your not set to pause? Have you tried setting GPM as your default player again?
You know, it really depends on what mood my phone is in, I told it to play "What's My Name" by Rihanna and it played it, but if I tell it some songs, it will search it and say "Couldn't start instant mix" and won't play, despite it showing in the search results. I think it's still hit or miss, but saying an artist (providing Google can pick apart the artist's name) it will play them. Work in progress for Touchless Control (Actually this is a Google Now thing) but once they find more bugs, GPM will get updated and actually use the API's correctly. As far as I know, this is US only until they open it to more regions.

Hi. I noticed I get a music player card on the watchface when playing music (native android music player), but I still have to initiate from phone. I tried a plethora of voice commands, but only succeded in opening up obscure youtube flix or google searches.
Is there a command i missed, is there a widget, do I need to use google music?
Thx in advance
I think it depends on what music player you are using. Spotify works using the "Ok Google". I use Tasker + Autowear for quick access to music players, apps, etc. If Google Now doesn't recognize your voice well, you can try to train it or try the non-voice options.
So which are the non voice options? I'd rather go with them tbh. I use native android music player.
I went and got tasker + wear tasker. Not altogether happy with the latter, but it works.
Hi all...
First off, Asus Zenwatch (original), paired with a Samsung Galaxy S6.
If I open my watch, say "OK Google", and say "Play Dropkick Murphys", it response with "Play Music", "Playing Music", "Opened on phone", and nothing happens. If I then unlock my phone, I find it on the search screen within TuneIn Radio Pro.
Ideally, I'd like it to be playing withing Google Play Music.
Within the Android Wear app, I have Play Music as my default app when I say "Play Music". I can't find any defaults on my phone that would make it think that TuneIn is my default music app.
Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks!
Same problem. Moto 360 and a note 4. Just cannot figure this out.
When I ask my phone to play a song by a given artist, it opens in play music fine. When I ask my watch, it opens the God awful bloatware music app by Samsung on my phone.
The weird thing is that if I ask my watch to just "play music", it opens Google play music and plays a random song. Even if I go in and force close the Samsung music player, it opens back up.
Same happens to me. It's odd because I have an in car Bluetooth, and that has always opened Google music when I asked but when I use my watch, it opens some random app.
I'm getting the same thing with my Huawei Watch + Sony Z3. When issuing Ok Google, Play music by ****** command, it would search with Soundcloud instead of Play Music. I tried to remedy this by uninstalling Soundcloud, but now the track search occurs in YouTube Music.
Hi!
Same problem with my LG Urbane and G3. I contacted Google, they told me it was a known issue and will be fixed in one of the next updates, if not the very next.
Regards
Damn I found thus and was hoping for a solution. Looks like an update has screwed us all!

After some research I found out how to fix this, and it is not through Android Wear as you would expect.
If you go to the Google App on your phone, tap the menu button on top and tap on settings, then hit "phone search" you can uncheck the "Play Music" option. This will turn off the 'search' from Google Now for playing music.
Then you can go back to google now and say "Play SongNameHere", and it will ask which app you want to use.
This works, but is not the ideal solution if, for example, you want to use the search on your phone, but a single app through your watch. Luckily, I don't use the search on my phone so this solves my problem.

Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, unchecking that box didn't seem to have any effect on either the phone search or Android Wear.
I'm running Nexus 6 Chroma ROM with a 1st Gen Moto 360, and the only way I've found to "fix" the issue is to uninstall TuneIn.
