ok, so i recently just got my new moto x and its perfect besides these 2 problems im having with the quick capture feature and playing music from touchless control.
The first is playing music i would tell google now to play a song e.x" ok google now. play tunnel vision" it would pull the command up and tell me" playing tunnel vision by JT" then it loads it to google play music app but instead of playing the song it just does a search in the app and not play it. its really a hit or miss with this feature as i got it to work for about 10mins but then the problem reemerged. Through some searching i found that the touchless control problem is a bug apparently. any verifcation on this would help alot.
the other problem is with the quick capture feature in the phone. ive practiced the motion many times with flicking your wrist and have gotten it to do it multiple consecutive times but i can only do this if ive previously manually opened the camera app. e.x the gesture wont work at all if i havent previously opened the app no matter how many times i twist the device but when i either open the camera unlocked or from the lock screen the quick capture starts to work perfectly everytime time i twist. is anyone else having these problems or does anyone have solutions?
I can't get the music to start right either. The first time I tried it asked which app to use. I selected PowerAmp. Now it starts PowerAmp but doesn't start the song.
As for the camera, I hold the phone in my hand and then make a quick movement like I'm trying to flick a booger off my finger and it works everytime. : )
I've heard others mention that with playing the music, you have to select whether you want to use Google Play. I've never used the feature because I do all my music through Pandora, but you may need to select Google Play Store or Google Play Music app to play stuff on your device.
As for the camera motion, I was confused about it at first for quite a while. I was "twisting" the device by holding it vertically in portriat mode and rotating my wrist left or right (turing the phone clockwise or counterclockwise while still keeping it vertical).
Once I figured out that you flick it side to side (turn the device to face left/right quickly) instead of rotating, it works every time.
About the TC problem I've already selected Google play music to play the songs but it doesn't play the songs just uses the search in the music player. Its weird cuz it worked for a while but then just stopped
And I'll try motion u suggested hope it works and thanks

Could also try going to the Google Search or Google Play Music app settings and click the "clear defaults" button.
The motion you told me does seem to work better now thanks!
Clearing defaults isn't available for me to press saying I don't have any set

Hey guys!! I didn't see any discussion thread regarding the topic, so decided to create one.
One but that I have noticed is that an image artifact is created when you scroll the recent apps menu.
The second annoying bug that I have experienced and am experiencing currently is that when you have music playing in the background, when the song changes, the equalizer just turns off! You have to go back and turn it on again. I guess the sound fx gets killed automatically?
Anything you guys would like to add?

I never experience this "currently is that when you have music playing in the background, when the song changes, the equalizer just turns off! You have to go back and turn it on again" on all ICS roms i tried(nightly and stable.)
This is the stock update that I am talking about (iml77)

EOS v1.0 here.
Gmail's pop-up windows (when deleting messages, for example), aren't formatted right.
i have a weird problem where the last music played by any player gets restarted by any other player and you just can't switch songs. Only reboot works. Same with music streaming, only that never stops. It doesn't stream but keeps on reconnecting.
Annoying.
Keep it coming guys!!

While multitasking with the browser, the music stutters and stops , not always though,.
When scrolling through home screens, could see minute horizontal white lines on the photo widget.

Combine Box
Well I have one to share.
In stock e-mail I got 2 emails registered. Every time I try to enter Combine box. The program crashes. Force close. But this happens only if the secondary mailbox is empty.
Im actually facing a lot of FC's on the xoom recently while using youtube and music. There is also some lag while browsing through the youtube main window (the cylindrical home)
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...
Hi all
Anyone here using Google Play Music?
Coming from a GN, I got used to the pure android stuff, Google Play Music being one of them.
I listen to music streaming from Google Music in my car on my phone (connected via 3.5 jack to my aux) almost every day, with the GN when I wanted to skip a song\pause\play I would've simply turn on the screen and use the lock-screen Google music thingie that popped there every time Google Play Music was running, but now it doesn't seem to be implemented into the s4, so I need to swipe down the status bar (considering I'm not using some kind of security lockscreen) and find the next\pause\play buttons among all the accidentally clickable stuff there... OR unlock the phone and use the Play Music app itself.
Now I'm not ranting about one more or less button to press here, really, it's just that while I'm driving every millionth of a second that my eyes are on the road counts, so I liked it the way it used to be, where I didn't even need to look at the screen..
Long story I know..
Anyway, any simple solution? or would I'll just have to get used to it?
p.s - not planning on moving to the stock music player as all of my music is in the Google Music cloud and I really like it that way.
Got the same issue. Sometimes it'll work fine, sometimes nothing on lock screen. Generally I find Google Play Music pretty damn annoying and horrible. Would love a solution as well.
Holy mother of all tits IT WORKS.. I just played a song and the damn thing is there in the lock screen looking at me..
Yep, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't... Would love to understand why.
Does anyone know a solution for this? Perhaps another recommended music player?

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 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!

Current solution
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.
