I have reset the watch and phone several times. Reinstalled the wear app, unpaired, repaired. Nothing
I cant do music control anymore. Fit commands dont work.
"Play music by Coldplay" just does a google search on the phone.

This has happened before... it is most likely a server update or something. It is happening to me too. Odds are all will be back to normal in a few hours. No idea why this happens, but it always goes away. Not the best answer I know.
Now google music isnt showing as an option in the app under voice actions...
Check if the voice recognition is set only to English. When I tried using English and another language that doesn't support voice commands nothing worked

I just got a motorola mx550 headset and the problem I have is twofold. One is that no matter matter what I do the volume in s voice is always set high. So I wanted to use a different app, downloaded my motospeak only to find out that I cant change the Bluetooth button on my headset to open it, no matter what I do it opens s voice!
And after playing with google voice search i would much rather use that as the default action. Ive scoured all the settings and cant find a way to change the default away from s voice. I went into applications and reset all app actions to default, I even installed Bluetooth launch app with no success. Anyone have any suggestions? I may root my phone if that what it takes.

its not too bad to set up. Go to settings, manage apps, and find s-voice. Then from there disable it. (note this means you cannot use SVoice anymore while its disabled.) From there, when you hit the headphones button, it will ask you to pick a new default app which you can save to always use. To undo the action, simply reenable s-voice, and it will take over the default action again. If you want to change from the new app you selected and still not use s-voice, just find the app in manage programs and clear defaults. I have not found a way to keep s-voice on double home, and use something else for bluetooth. In all honesty, google now voice calling sucks hard. It only allows you to call, not use any other now features. If you force set the activity to use the google now search activity, it wont use the headset for voice input, only the built in mic. The solution I posted should get you exactly what you want to use that 3rd party moto app though.

Thank for you this information. I've looked all over and finally found your reply and it worked perfect.
Hey All:
I'm having an issue with Google Now's "Listen To" command (likewise "Play" or "Play Music"). These commands only direct Now to do a search. I've made sure that Play Music is selected as a search source (as well as Winamp and Media Monkey), but the phone insists on web searches. Any tips on how to force it to behave the way it's supposed to (i.e. search my phone and play the requested song or artist)?
I'm in Canada (though with a valid Play Music account with ~2,000 songs uploaded); I don't know if that's part of the problem.
I've tried clearing the data for Google Search as well. Running the latest Google Search and 4.3.
Thanks for any help!

Mmmm, thats wierd. I don't think the amount of tracks on Play Music is a problem at all. I have a little bit under 2k songs in there as well and It prompts me with the option to select my music player (in this case spotify). The web search comes after the song hit. I can't say its 4.3 either, though I'm still rocking 4.2.2
Here is my Google Search Version: 2.6.7.721924.arm
Try uninstalling and reinstalling Google Search maybe that will do the trick. As a last resort I could pull my apk for you to download?

Thanks for looking. I'm on the same version (2.6.7.721924) and have uninstalled the updates/reinstalled. Still nothing. It's a weird issue, to be sure. From my research it looks like it's an intermittent issue that comes and goes to most people. I'd welcome any other advice.

I have the same issue. Some songs instantly played when named and others will bring me to the search engine. I thought it might be where the song resides that was the issue but I'm not 100% sure. Sometimes i can get it to work from songs on internal memory. And sometimes from my micro SD card, but not always. I thought it might have to do with whether the music was on Play Music...."all music", or "on device". But i cannot get it to work every time.
Edit: even stranger. ..i just tired both "play" and "listen to" commands for the song "Wish you were here". The song opens up with the image of the Pink Floyd album cover, and then the music plays. But it's not Pink Floyd. It's the Grateful Dead version. I then see album covers for those two versions and one for Incubus' version. If i use the "listen to" or "play" command and say, "Listen to Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd", it still plays the Dead's version. I have all three versions in my library.
If i use the"play" command and then name an artist, nothing happens. If i instead insert the word "Google" before the word "play", then it will play an artist. Wonkey!!!
Hi, I noticed that Listen and Play command does not launch the default music player any more. The list of apps in the Google Now Settings does not show any music player either. I don't have access to Play music in my region.
Anyone have the same experience? Can this be fixed at our end?
I have had my Z play for awhile and until recently it will now randomly make that Google assistant sound when you say OK, Google..
When I pull out my phone from my pocket it is on the Google white pop up with a little icon that says Listening for music. This pop up is listening and greyed out from my lock screen. I have to unlock the phone and cancel the listenig
I never setup OK google in the Google app. I use the Moto app and trained my phone to wake to OK Computer.
I can't figure out whats wrong and it will open randomly at work or the movies and that OK google sound is embarassing sometimes.
Any suggestions?
Issue: Music will randomly play 10-20 secs of a song then skip to the next song. Sometimes will skip songs until I force close/clear cache and restart the app. Doesn't matter which music app - Youtube music, Spotify, Pandora, etc. Happens whether it's playing over bluetooth or not. Have uninstalled/reinstalled apps, no change. Have changed every bluetooth setting I can find. Basically done everything I can think of short of factory resetting.
Help

I called att and complained for an hr. And the had me talk to a samsung rep. They wanted me to send my phone in. These people are stupid and cant even test their own otas.
But Google play music was the only player that I found didnt do it if that is any help
I use Black Player, no issues
So I finally figured out mine was an issue with Ford Sync in my truck. For some reason I never realized it only happened in my truck but I switched phones and it still happens...
I've never used the voice activation stuff on a phone before, but I'm getting more interested in using it for navigation, playing songs, podcasts etc. when I'm driving. Works fine if I hold the home button and speak but I want more...
So I've been trying to set up voice match. In the Google app I toggle the switch to switch voice match on and follow the screens until I get to the point when it tells me to Say... 'Ok Google', where it doesn't seem to listen and just sits on that screen. It hasn't crashed; I can back out of it etc.
Am I doing something wrong, or is something wrong somewhere?
