Hi Gang,
So I start a song playing on google play music. I get the card to pop up with the artist name and the pause button on the bottom of the face.
Then, within a second, it disappears. I can press pause and play on my phone quickly and it'll happen again. If I time it right, I can "catch" the card before it disappears, but if I try to do any media controls it does the control on Google Play Music but then the card disappears again.
Anyone else seeing this? I wonder if I can do a harder factory reset than the "reset device" option, because I've done that twice already?
Thanks!
Nobody on this?
I've since installed Music Boss to help with media controls, but would be nice to know if other people are experiencing issues with the stock music card.
Not sure if media controls are even listed as a feature for the 360. Please someone chime in! Thank you :laugh:
Anyone? I need to know if mine is bugged and if I need to contact Best Buy about this and get an exchange, or try to flash the thing back to factory.
When you press play in Google Music do you get the card? Can you play/pause without it disappearing randomly? Does it disappear on load sometimes? Help a brother out...
I wasn't really paying attention to mine. When I was, the card was always there.

I'm experiencing a similar problem. Every time I re-connect my 360 to my phone, the media card pops up, and it says it's playing a tv show on netflix... every single time I re-connect. I've restored the watch, reinstalled android wear...etc.
Same thing here. Driving me nuts as it's probably the most useful card.
Happen to me today, after update android wear and it is force the watch to reboot.
Media control card will disappear after couple songs, need to pause and replay the song again from my phone to show the card again.
Funny thing is the lyrics card from musiXmatch is still there.
and just curious, anyone feel the last android wear update is affecting the battery life?
before my watch can last for 2 days. (14 hours / day).
now my watch already dead at 9.30PM (unplug from charger at 7AM)
Card disappears as soon as I hit play
I'm having a related issue too, possibly as the result of upgrading my phone to Lollipop (it only started happening since then, and Lollipop has more settings to prioritise notifications). Where I used to get a generic media controls card with the name of the artist and a pause button, with a swipe right revealing a screen with volume and back/next buttons, I now get a card with the Play Music logo and the track name, which only shows when the music is paused. This card doesn't have a play button until you swipe, and swiping right only reveals one control at a time, not all four on one screen (quite annoying to use actually). I'm using a Moto 360 as well, however I doubt that it is in any way specific to that. I'm also using Play Music as my music player. My primary suspicion is that the generic media controls went with the lockscreen widgets that Google axed in Lollipop, and that Play Music offers a fallback which happens to be quite bad. Any ideas?

After some quick Googling, it looks like my hypothesis was correct! A leaked update to the update to the Wear app seems to fix the issue for Lollipop, see http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/1...l-makeover-but-only-on-lollipop-apk-download/
Ok so I've been having a weird problem recently. Essentially my G3 won't play music when connected to the mobile network. At first I thought that my network was simply not fast enough to do what I wanted, so I downloaded the music on wifi and tried again.
Unfortunately the same thing happened, and all I get is a rotating orange spinner on the album art and no music. If I turn mobile network off through the music starts to play immediately.
I've now done some experimenting with this and what I've found is that if I play a random piece of music that I've not downloaded nothing will happen except the spinner, but no matter how long I leave it (1sec or 1 minute) if I turn mobile network off the music will start to play until the cache is gone. I've since tried a factory reset of the phone and uninstalling all play music updates with no success.
Any suggestions, as I'd really like to be able to use navigation in car and listen to music at the same time, which in my situation are mutually exclusive?
Ok, so i looked in the forums and found no one had this... but I launch the google play music app, pick ANY radio station, start a tune, it will play just fine.
Now, once the song is over, OR if I decide to skip a song, the app will start playing the next track as expected however, after 4 ~ 7 seconds of playback, the song skips, and goes to the next song again. I have seen the phone do this, while unlocked, I was just looking at it, nothing touching it and the skip occurs.
Uninstalled the app, the cache, all the play store updates/cache/data as well - same thing.
spotify, radiotunes, etc -- all work fine
poweramp for local content -= same thing, no issues.
google play support has so far been unable to help me.
anyone else experience this?
running stock 3.2.1 not rooted.
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
Mine randomly does the exact same thing. Super annoying....
It started after the Oreo update.

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 have a Dension GW52MO1 500S BT (adds BT media streaming to older german cars) that has play control problems just with Google Play Music. If I listen to YouTube or BeyondPod, Neutron etc it works correctly. What happens with Google Play Music is the first couple of seconds repeat over and over again. Also if I stop the music it immediately starts playing again (repeating first couple of seconds of track). I can get it to work by turning off Bluetooth between one and 4 times, each time waiting for it start playing by itself.
This behavior does not occur in our other car that has the Pioneer DEH80PRS.
This problem is a bug in Google Play Music, there is a Google Product Forum post on it
https://productforums.google.com/forum/?noredirect=true#!topic/play/FKxS7t1W1dA
My question is: Is there any tool I can install on the Pixel 2 XL to help me work around this issue? I tried using Tasker to automate turning Bluetooth on and off but it when I do that the repeat 1st second problem doesn't resolve itself like it does when I do it manually.
The Dension does not appear to have a way to turn off the autoplay (resume) feature which I think interacts with the bug in Google Play Music to cause the issue.
Thanks
