This may not be specific to my new LG G2, but I want to stream music from my XBox music service to my car. When I switch the car's mode into streaming, it starts up the basic Music app which won't work for me. Any ideas how to do that? Is Microsoft missing something for this?
I spent a good chunk of time yesterday trying to figure out how to make the Samsung Gear S3 Frontier (LTE verision) watch play I Heart Radio or Spotify independently from my Samsung Galaxy S8 phone. Everytime I go to play I Heart Radio on my watch, it opens and plays it on my phone. If I turn my phone off or disable bluetooth, the watch gives and error message and doesn't play on the watch. In other words, if I decide to leave my phone at home and want to play IHeart Radio on my watch streaming to my bluetooth headset, I can't!
Is this possible or will I have to manually transfer music to my watch to play on it independently?
Maybe the app ain't been fully optimized for the watch yet.

Is your bluetooth headset paired with your phone? Normally there is an option under bluetooth setting of a phone and/or your watch. For example in the phone, you will see a setting for your particular bluetooth device when you tap on the gear: call audio, media audio...there should be toggles to turn it on or off. I had Gear S2 and did adjust it that way, but I had an issue with my car system where music/calls were not routed through watch and car.

Thanks for the reply. I've tried Bluetooth to both (phone and watch). Using a streaming app such as Iheart Radio and spotify, I can't seem to get it to play independently from my phone even though the watch is LTE with a SIM. I will check that setting though, but I would like to bluetooth it to my watch, leave my phone at home, and stream IHeart Radio while I jog...etc.

I haven't used an app to play anything, but I did have 5 MP3 songs on my watch(for testing purposes). Is the app that you use, is on your phone or the watch?

App is on both. I believe those two particular apps auto installs on both phone and watch.

As I understand, your phone needs to think or see your watch as a media playback device as well and not only a calling device. After that it will direct sound through your watch's Bluetooth accessory that is connected to it.
Also I think not all bluetooth headsets are able to play music through them, so try another bluetooth headset or bluetooth headset that was designed for music(unless you already using this one)
I would also like to steam music on my gear s3 from i heart, Pandora, or etc. Is there a way to do this without having my s8 phone in range of my watch?
At this time, only Spotify will allow you to direct stream to your S3 without having your phone. Iheart only works as a remote to control the app on your phone, but you can't stream direct to your S3. Pandora is not available for the S3.
Hi everyone! Could you help me with a little issue I have with this smartwatch? I just want to connect the music from the smartwatch to the smartphone. Is there a way to play the music of the D5+ on the smartphone with earphones? Or a way to listen to the music of the smartphone and handle the tracks from the smartwatch? I tried everything but I can't understand how to do it!
Thank you so much!
Hello Mario,
the best way it worked for me is the app "Phone to Tablet Remote" installed on both devices.
It is able to control nearly all music-apps on my phone from the watch. But even this way the drain of battery-power is very high. So you can also install the music directly on your watch. and use bluetooth earphones.
In the end is is no good solution to use the watch to listen to music. :-/
Hey. I just want to know if exist a way to listen music on steam, directly from internet without download to the watch.
I mean, I have a Motorola Moto 360 v1 with android wear 6.1, it only has 4gb of ROM and I have around 6gb of music of course I can't sent it all, so I want a way to connect my Bluetooth headphones to the watch, connect my watch to a Wi-Fi connection, leave my phone on the house and go to the gym and listen music doing directl stream from internet, do you know a way to do that? Thanks
All I care about is that it has BlueTooth to connect to some wireless headphones and a competent music player.
I will only use it when I go out for a jog, and I want to listen to music without having to bring my phone.
I will never synch it with a phone, don't care about notifications, etc..
I got a knockoff GT08 basically for free and it works, technically. The BT connection is actually pretty solid, but the music player is terrible. No support for playlists, or playing by album or artist.
