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,
I have a Bluetooth device on my car and I enjoy playing my music on my mobile (Desire HD ofc) through the car's speakers, and of course making calls and thou.
But every time I turn on the car and then the car-device search and connect to my mobile (automatically! woho) and I configured the mobile to run the "Car-Home" Aplication automaticly when the device is connected,
So then of course I want to put music (through "PowerAMP" - player witch I added icon to the list) So I need to press on the icon of the poweramp and then it opens it and I need to click play and then return to the home-car.
Too many clicks just to make music run.
Is there any way to make my life easier then it already does?
Like making the power amp press play automaticly when Bluetooth headset is connected?
or configuring the car-home to do it, it self..?
Thank you,
Yarden.
any one?
Doesn't poweramp have that option in it's settings somewhere? It certainly did during its beta stages.

Well it only has an option that when I plug AUX speakers it automaticly Play and when I plug out it Pause.
But with Bluetooth headset it doesn't Play,
Only when I plug out it Pause.
I use CarHome Ultra and I leave Bluetooth on...so when I turn on the car, my EVO automatically connects and jumps to the CHU app. I'm also using PowerAmp for my music app...which is the best music app out to date. Then, all I have to do is push the play/pause button on my JVC radio and it starts playing whatever song I was last listening too. I open PA up every now and then, when I want to play a particular song. I hope this helps.
I have a 2012 GTI and when it automatically connects to my car Google Music connects and tries to play music. I use my iPod for this but it still annoying. Anyway to fix this from the device? My car does not show a way to stop this.

can you click the settings icon in your Bluetooth menu on the phone (next to the name of the bluetooth source you are connected to) and un-check media player or something along those lines?
Think this is something the car is doing. My Elantra doesn't start playing anything when it automatically connects to my phone, but my fiancee's Civic does.

This did it!!
If you're like me and want music coming out of BT, but not necessarily starting which ever music player the car decides on then you can use his to stop any music from playing automatically. Or have it launch a specific one automatically.

I have my N4 Bluetooth set up to my car. When I start my car, and Bluetooth kicks in, Google Music automatically starts playing songs. I don't listen to music via Bluetooth, but my device is sending the signal, evidently. I've tried to find a way to keep Google Music from automatically doing this when Bluetooth connects, but cannot find anything. Any ideas?

I'm looking for a way to make mine do what yours is doing. I'm on a Galaxy Nexus running Android 4.2.2 and just want my music to start automatically when I get into my car instead of having to unlock phone, fire up google music, and hit shuffle all every time I get in. There are a couple apps that will launch Play Music but the music doesn't start playing. I need to try hitting NEXT on my car stereo and see if it makes it start playing.
I used to get ambushed with music automatically starting a couple of phones ago so I wound up using Tasker to simulate media button presses.
That sorted it for me and may be worth a try for both of you.
I think it's dependent upon your car. I've got Ford with Sync and buried somewhere in the menus is a bluetooth "autoplay" option - try disabling that (or enabling... depending on what you're looking for, of course)
My N4 does this in my Mazda 3. I absolutely HATE it. Any luck on a solution?
Like previous poster said, disable autoplay feature in car's bluetooth settings
I don't have that option on my car.

This is not true. I have this happen with my Nexus 4 on stock 4.3 in THREE separate cars.
Is there seriously no solution to this? Does anybody even have any idea what causes this problem?
For me, its Fusion music player. But if I uninstall that, then it defaults to Google Music.
I have a toyota Camry 2011 which has a bluetooth system. No entue, just bluetooth. When I connect to it with both call and media audio enabled. DIsplay says streaming audio and immediately starts playing Lg Music app. Now if I switch to spotify or pandora, my car immediately pauses the music and then won't let me play spottify or pandora audio. I need help. I love this phone but I can't seem to get this work. I love streaming music.
Its almost as if Toyota keeps trying to connect to Lg Music app despite stitching to pandora. This used to work when I had and SG3. In that I could switch to pandora and no problems. I think the problem is that as soon as bluetooth connects LG Music app starts playing but I don't want it to.
If you're rooted, you can always freeze that app. I wouldn't delete it in case it's tied to something else. You could also try deleting all of the songs that are in LG music.

I second [email protected] Can you disable lg music in apps? If not, root and freeze it.

I don't want to get off topic, but you're right. This is the real problem. You can see it whenever engineers with "just show up" degrees are tasked with anything. The idea is a result of just getting something to work in order to pass a QA check. QA will typically have a couple of scenarios to run through and if the code makes it through the scenario, it's considered gold. No effort is extended to actually understand the context of the code being written, or the spec being written to.
If everything was written per the specification, there would be no interop problems... But writing a complete implementation might cost a bit more, so eff it.
I actually have a similar problem with my new LG G2 and 2010 Camry.
I can pair it as a phone device, but not properly as an BT audio device. It pairs as a phone and makes calls just fine, but as soon as I try to set it up as an audio player, the phone all of a sudden can't find the car's bluetooth. BUT it will still play audio through the car stereo with apps like Pandora, however, I have zero control capabilities from the car and it playback will stay connected. Stereo just says "No devices found".
I also came from a S3 and it worked fine as a phone and audio player with this car. Seems like the new phone doesn't mesh well with the stereo?
The audio quality of the G2 over a2dp is horrible just like the two phones by LG before it, not sure what the deal is
OP have you found a fix for this? Just disabling the stock Music Player?
Is any news or solutions?
The A2DP audio is great. Enable Apt-X? There is a prop trigger. This phone IS Apt-X capable, confirmed through logcat. Research before you down a product. Different paired products will always behave differently.
I have the same problem in my 2012 FJ Cruiser except Poweramp automatically starts even though the BT settings are set not to. Anything else pauses after 2 seconds.

True, but "there is an app for that".
Modified Spotify client with included TrackID fix. I use it in my VW Golf with my LG G2.
Use the latest version in this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=44108915#post44108915
I still couldn't find any solutions until now. Could you?
ask your audio manufacturer to update software, unless its old bluetooth and thus not feature supporting.

LG G2, stock 4.2.2 and Toyota Avensis 2011 -
Google Music - ok + track info;
LG stock player - ok + track info;
Rdio - ok - no track info;
Spotify - no sound, no track info (steer buttons ok - play, pause).
I have my N3 connected to my 2009 Ford Edge via bluetooth. It connects quickly every time. The phone has 911 assist almost immediately.
The same can be said for media. Bluetooth connection to enable media playback always connects.
I have two bluetooth media related issues that revolve around autostart of media player when I get in the car...
1. Default app to play media. No matter what I'm playing when I leave the car (it could be BeyondPod, Pandora, Play Music, etc.) the app that starts automatically playing when I get back into the car is ALWAYS BeyondPod, my podcast player. For some reason it has become the pseudo default media app when connected via bluetooth. If I was playing Pandora I know that when I get back in the car I'll have to go into my phone, stop BeyondPod and then to into Pandora and hit play. I would very much like it if there was a way, or a setting, that tells the autoplay feature to use the app that was playing when I left the car. I don't want a default player, just the player that was being used when I left the car.
2. When I get in the car sometimes it will start playing and sometimes it won't start playing. It connects properly, it just doesn't play anything. I can be away from my car for a week for vacation and the next time I get back in the car it starts immediately playing where I left off. Other times I can go into the grocery store, come back out 5 minutes later and it doesn't start playing, I have to pull the phone out and press start on whatever media player I'm using. It's not consistent and I can never predict when it will automatically start playing. I've tried to see a pattern of when it will automatically start but I just can't figure it out. Seems totally random. If I had to guess I'd say that it autostarts about 75% of the time. The other 25% is a mystery.
Not sure if it would help at all, but I used this app to dial in my Bluetooth profile.

Thanks. I looked at that app but it's more for troublesome connections. I connect quickly every time. Bluetooth connectivity is not an issue. It's what happens after connection that's an issue.
I've used apps such as Tasker and Trigger to start an app such as Pandora or Play Music. The problem with solution is it presumes that I want a specific one of those to start. I don't. I want what was playing when I got out of the car to start. I've also used Tasker to pop up a menu letting me make a selection. That works but it means I have to take the phone out of my pocket, something that's not easy to do once I'm buckled in.

Check to see if the app is scheduled to start on headphone or Bluetooth connection. If so uncheck those. It's under player settings.
