I just received my Daydream View headset. I had been playing with a cardboard one +a phone as an emulated controller, and some apps worked but others didn't (they played in 2D full screen). I assumed that was because they detected my viewer was not a genuine View, but now that I have it, the same happens. The Daydream app itself and some others work well, but most don't. I tried clearing data for the daydream app, the google vr services and the specific apps that are not working. Has anyone encountered this?
Thanks

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

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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

Hi all
Have a rooted S8, everything is running fine apart from one little glitch... The Google Play Movies app won't allow me to view purchased films offline. I am able to stream, no problems, I can download the item but once downloaded, said film won't play. I receive an error message saying I need to restart device... Which doesn't work BTW!
So far I have cleared app cache, uninstalled app and reinstalled, updated app, tried the download on internal and external memory, no luck. I have tried all different movies. The app works fine on my tablet. So it's device specific. I have spoken to Google who have confirmed my account is clear and phone is connecting on OK.
Has anyone else encountered this or have any suggestions... It's very frustrating.. I can only think the rooted handset is causing a glitch?
Thank you in advance, Jackie
Have you tried using a different player? Or download it and move it in your google drive and use the drive's default video player?
Hi, thanks for your reply
I believe you can't use any other player... the format of the video, which is broken up into separate segmented files for this specific reason, is only playable via their (Google) own app.. And I'm not sure how you would download it to Google Drive...
Would love to know if anyone else has experienced this issue...
Hi Guys
I'm going insane figuring out how to switch between 2 open apps quickly. Let me give you an example: I run with my watch and I like listening to music from the watch during the run. This means I have 2 apps open: Runtastic (to register the workout) and Google play music (to stream music to headsets). Normally I keep Runtastic in foreground so I can see the stats of my workout at any time and Google music is running in backgroud. Sometimes, though, I'd like to e.g. skip a song and in order to achieve that I have to go to homescreen, display app drawer on the watch and browse for Google play music. After that I have to go the same steps in reverse to get Runtastic back to foreground. Is there really no easier way? Maybe there's app for it?

Try Gesture Launcher maybe?

Good tip, thanks. I've given it a try already and looks promising. Can't believe google haven't taken care of similar native feature.
Sometime in the past 2 months, the google assistant voice command to play music has stopped working. I get greeted on the TV screen with a message that says," Playing The Artist on Google Play Music. Sorry, something went wrong. When you're ready, give it another try." This occurs if I try using google assistant from my phone or the remote. And it occurs with both google play music and i HeartRadio.
All other voice commands I have tried will either open up the correct apps or provide the right information on the screen for the question asked and such. I am able to cast music from either iHeartradio and Google Play Music still from my phone to the TV through the Shield. I feel as if it is a music setting somewhere, but cant find the issue. I am on the latest update, which I believe is 7.7.3 on Android Oreo. The issue seemed to pop up within the past 2 months. I have scraped the internet and XDA to no avail. Any insight is appreciated.
I've also attempted to clear the cache and uninstalled both iheartradio and uninstall updates for Google Play Music and then reinstall both with no luck for the issue.
Yesterday, I loaded the AirAudio app (v9) to stream to my Apple Airport Express. I downloaded and installed the AirAudio module (v6) on Magisk (v20.4).
Among other problems, my display went to full brightness, and although the display brightness slider is still there and slides, the brightness does not change. In addition, my music player will not play ( songs do not progress in the "Play" monitor), and I have lost all sound from the phone.
I've removed the app and uninstalled the Magisk module, but the problems remain.
Also, camera now locks up when snapped and other apps lock up.
Anyone else having issues with this app on LOS? None of these problems have occurred prior to loading AirAudio and module.
Thanks!

Hey there,
AirAudio has been kicked by Google because they didn't like a link to a rooting-website inside the description anymore, written 7 years ago.
Its successor is called AirMusic and allows to stream some apps (eg. YouTube, YT Music, Deezer, PodcastAddict , radio.de, Plex and more, you have to try it out) without root on Android 10+.
On rooted devices, all audio can be transmitted.
To get around the Magisk-issues with LOS, please contact the developer for a TWRP-flashable zip.
