Hi,
Can someone help ? - I'm loosing my mind
I've had a smartwatch 3 for about a week and had nothing but problems....
I'm trying to copy music to it so that I can listen to the music and leave my phone at home.....
Im using a galaxy s4 (4.4.2)with the smart watch 3 (5.0.2.
I've added music to google play and downloaded it fine to my phone (turned of all data connections and played it to make sure)
In play music I have located the "download to android wear" option and ticked this.
No matter what I do the music does not transfer to the watch !
I've tried this with play lists and albums.
The phone has been restored to factory defaults and so has the watch !
The reason I brought this was due to the fact it had GPS and in built music playing ! - ideal for running !
Can anyone advise ? - this thing is getting close to being sent back !
Personally I use the walkman app from sony for playing music on the watch, you can sync playlists made on your phone with the walkman app to the watch, keeps it nice and separate from google music.
I got it working fine with Play Music, and use it for my runs without the phone. Let me try and talk you through what I did.
I have all my music on Play Music (not on my phone storage, or SD card). I created a separate playlist called Sony Smartwatch, and marked it for download on the Play Music app on my phone. I then ticked the Download to Wear option in the Settings. Nothing happened at first, but what I did notice is that it started to download songs to the watch as soon as I plugged in the watch to charge. It also gave me a notification on the watch that it was downloading music, including the number of tracks remaining to download. It does take a while, but now it's perfect. Hope this helps.
Oh, and by the way, I use GhostRacer at the same time to track my runs on stand alone GPS, and then it auto uploads to Strava. I find Ghostracer the best because when you go to the Start Screen on the watch, it shows in the top left the strength of the GPS signal and fix, so that you can be sure you have a signal before you start your run (as long as you stand outside in the open for about 30 seconds before, it should find a lock)
I think there may be some confusion with Play Music and how the music is stored. Even if you have music stored locally as mp3 files on your phone, they show up in Play Music, and I think that may be the problem. You need to have the music stored on the Google Play Servers (you need to use a PC to upload them) and then mark a playlist for download.
I'm enclosing some screenshots if it helps:

thanks for the reply.
i'm starting to think the watch has a problem.
I've spoken to Sony tonight and reloaded the firmware on the watch but I appear to still have the problem.
The watch pairs with the phone fine - however when I open the android wear app you can see it connect and disconnect.
I downloaded some music from play on to the phone and then ticked the setting to download android wear but nothing is happening - even on charge.
When I look at the screen I notice the icon which says it's disconnected (cloud with a line through it) is on the screen !
Does your's remain connected at all times or have I got a bad unit ?
Thanks for any advice !
Paul
You may have a faulty device, or it may be something with the phone - you don't have any power saving apps or such like that are switching your Bluetooth on the phone on and off, depending on location, time of day etc etc... (Dunno if the S4 has it's own power saving stuff pre-installed) Check and see when the disconnected icon is up whether the phone Bluetooth is off at the same time, and obviously within range (the Bluetooth range is NOT that great).
ok......
so after weeks of tyring to get this to work I sent the watch back !
It took approx 10 days to be returned from sony's service center.
In my return package I listed the problems faced and things I'd tried !
The returned package from them contain a brand new watch as I guess they agreed it was faulty.
Charged it up - connected it to the phone - sync'd the music !
No connection drops between the phone and the watch at all !
In fact the watch just works as I expected nearly a month ago.
If you are reading this and are having same problems as I was (disconnected icon on watch all the time and not able to sync music) then PLEASE dont do what I did and waste vast amounts of your time trying to get it to work....
IT WONT ! - it is faulty.
Send it back to Sony and GET A REPLACEMENT.
Thanks for all your help and supoprt with this though
At least it wasnt me be dumb.

Hey Joachim
I was using the walkman app to sync my music but since the update the option to sync to wearable seems to have disappeared. Any ideas pls? The kgoogle play option is rubbish as there's no way to select what music I want. Some drum and bass for running then something less crazy for the warm down. I don' want old school motown when I 'm feeling the burn. lol

Samsung galaxy s4 won't push music to the smartwatch 3
Good evening, I just got my smartwatch 3 and I am having the same problem mentioned in this forum.
I have tried multiple things as found online and no success. Everything else seems to work in the watch and it seems to stay connected to my galaxy s4 but yet it gives me that google music play warning "Phone is disconnected. Reconnect to download tracks." Even though it's connected just fine by way of Android wear.
I would really appreciate some more guidance before I reach out to sony or send my watch back.
I really just bought it for this functionality and the gps for running.
Many thanks.

should i send it back?

I've been looking at updated my galaxy S4 to the latest android 5 but even that is a pain. I have T-Mobile as a provider.
Would that make any difference in the music transfer between the phone and the watch?

So I synced the watch on my Nexus 10 and downloaded a Playlist on to the watch from Google play music. Everything works fine. It must be my S4 that is the issue. Somehow some file from the Google play services must have gotten corrupted. Is there a way to check and reload it without doing a factory reset on the phone?

There is an app called Media Wear. Works like a charm on the galaxy s4. And I can pick and choose the songs I want to push from my folders. It's genius. Simple but elegant and gets the job done.
Bigup for the developer of media wear!
Thanks for sharing your insight Dyarstrait. What would I do without this blogs?

I received and loaded updates yesterday for Google Music, Google Play Services and Android Wear. All of these updates did not fix it.
After I loaded them I went through all the resetting and cache cleaning possible. No luck.
Yes. Wear media. That's it.

Sorry for the confusion. Yeah, it worked just fine. A lot simpler to use. I think it can use a few more features like automatic synchronization of the folders but it does the job. Hope that it works for you.
Steps after you have downloaded the app:
1. Pick the folder with the music on your phone. Doesn't use playlist so just make a folder with your songs for the watch.
2. Pick the folder where you want to put the music in your watch.
3. Then click on the songs one by one and they will transfer to your watch. The phone app has an indicator that tells you they are transferring.
4. After you have transfer them, go to the watch, open the app, swipe left and you will see a folder. Browse to the folder where you put them and you will see the songs. Once you have your earphones connected, press on the song and boom. There is the music.
I'm surprised that google didn't make it this simple. Check it out and let me know if it works for you.
the older version Walkman app (version 8.5.A.0.6) is working for me quite well (Samsung Tab S sync to Sony Smartwatch 3) you just build a playlist, then toggle the Download to Wearable switch in that playlist and it syncs to the wearable via bluetooth. The music is also organized by playlist in the wearable app. Note: it wont sync if your wearable battery is around 30% or less.

Just realized on my note 4 I can't skip songs or rewind when I am connected to my alpine stereo. I had no issues with my note 3, s3, and even friends iPhones.
This phine has sooo many glitches it's driving me crazy! Also who decided to put the speaker on the back instead of the bottom! So now I can't hear ringtones or music unless my phone is speaker side up. Argh...I think this is going back and I'm staying with my note 3 until the note 5 I guess.
Resolved by updating the firmware on alpine using mac since my PC laptop wouldn't cooperate. More info below...
Weird man mines been working okay on my kenwood BT it just has random song lag. My meta data was coming up though. What app are you using to play music? Im using poweramp
I'm using Google music and if i play an album the data displayed stays as the first songs name but the time works. if its a random playlist the song names update normally. weird
I am using Google music but also tried Samsung music player same thing, couldn't skip. I also tried friends note 4 with spotifa and also didn't skip. Argh. Moved back to my note 3 until an update comes out to fix it or I might sell it and get nexus 6, this is a huge problem.
use Power Amp. the stock apps suck.
Solid Explorer for files, QuickPic for pics, Nova for launcher, MX Player for videos, and you'll figure out your own preferences from there. iphone to Android must be foreign experience stepping out of the walled garden. we've all been there.

I am using Google play music, power amp doesn't stream music and can't read the downloaded Google files. It's just a glitch in the note 4 software
Just wanted to update.... after installing the firmware update for alpine stereos, my note was able to work fine with the stereo, song info shows up and I can skip and fast forward again.
The link is here: http://www.alpine-usa.com/feeds/promo/13hubtupdate
But funny enough my pc laptop would not display the file browser for doing the update but on my MacBook, there was an option to browse files which allowed me to do the update.kinda funny since I am a PC person and bought the mac on a whim and it saved my butt with this update!

It must be nice to have a head unit that the manufacturer hasn't forgotten that it once made. Pioneer tends to drop support for units it's no longer selling.
This issue doesn't seem to have any real logic to it. While my Note pairs with the Pioneer and the steering controls work fine, there's no metadata displayed. Paired to my sister in law's 2013 Enclave, everything works. In my brother's 2014 Lacrosse, it works the same as on my Pioneer... pairing and steering wheel controls with no metadata.
I've read that there are a bunch of changes in how Lollipop handles Bluetooth. I hope the fix lies there.
From what I know..the note 4 uses a newer version of bluetooth, 1.4 or something like that. The note 3 uses 1.3. That update I installed on my stereo had 1.4 support so that's why it worked. I don't think an update to the phone will fix it, the stereo needs the update
When I am at the gym or out running I normally listen to audio books or podcasts mp3 files. Does the music player on the watch handle resuming from last stopped positions? Can the positions be synced back to an audio player (any audio player) back to my smartphone? Thanks!
I did a lot of research on this and I don't think there are currently any out of the box solutions that do what you (and I) want. The closest thing I have found is to sideload "Material Audiobook Player" onto the watch and adb push your mp3 files there as I describe in this Github issue. The only thing missing is to sync back to the smartphone. This is a smart watch only solution. I love it though
Thanks for the work around! That was the last thing I wanted to know can be set up before taking the jump to buy the smartwatch!
Podcast mp3s should work no problem. You just have to upload them to Google music or download them to watch via Sony's software.

No problem, this was exactly the kind of information I was looking for when I was doing my research. I ended up buying anyway, and was worried for a bit that I wouldn't find anything. In the end, it's not a perfect solution but it works pretty well for me. Ideally, I would love it if Audible would sync the book onto the watch for offline listening but I seriously doubt that will ever happen.

There is now a better way. There is an app called "Wear Media" that handles transferring the files as well as playback (and saving your position in files). It's a wonderfully helpful app.

Thanks for the heads up! I will definitely give this a try, will be easier than using adb. Does it sync play position between phone and watch?

I use Wear Media to listen to books while I run and it is great! Unfortunately, I don't think it syncs play position between phone and watch.
To send a lot of files, install ES File Manager on your phone and sideload it on your watch, disable Bluetooth on your phone and use wifi to send files from your phone to your watch.
There are instructions to do the transfer on YouTube, just search "es file explorer wifi transfer".
Hope this is of some help!
Is the USB Micro port capable of being used to copy music to and from the device?
Bluetooth is so Battery hungry and slow... I was hoping to just plug her in and copy the music over.
adb
Just use adb to push your music to /sdcard.

I was able to "adb push" some 100 mp3s in a couple of minutes to the SWR50 by turning on USB debugging and using the default Android ADB interface driver, however I only have one playable song (that I sent over BT via Walkman app as a test) in the music player. I tried pushing mp3 files to both "/sdcard" and "/sdcard/Music" directories but could not make a pushed song visible by the music player.
Anyone had any luck with this?
Anyone had any results/success with the above?

No.
It seems you have to either use the walkman app or register via the google play music store (with a credit card!!*) to be able to play the music.
This is a really poor implementation either way - having to send music to the cloud and then all the way back again to see it on your phone.
I guess someone will come up with a workaround app sometime soon. Or at least I hope so!
*apparently you can register for the google music download manager then remove your credit card info from google wallet and it will still work (but it means your details are still there, somewhere).
You could try installing Play Music or some other music app via adb
This works for me. However, the app I use to listen to music is wear media player. You can find it in the android wear forum or on the play store. If you can't, I can link to it.
Someone also broke the forum rules to promote another paid app that does the same.
Where is the Walkman and Google play storing their music?
Does anyone know where I can push music to be able to play it though google play or walkman?
I tried wear media but I can't get it to play song in the right order.
What is the order you want? Are you trying to play a playlist? I do not think Google play recognizes sideload music.
Also, if you are dead set on a drag and drop without adb solution, twrp (for 5.1.1 supports mounting the scared as a flash drive).
Anyone else using a Note7 with Android Auto? At first the connection to my car was intermittently dropping and then it was OK. I have Pandora, Slacker, and Play Music installed on my phone and active but the only one that shows up in the car is Play Music. I haven't played with it yet but there's not much to troubleshoot - they're either there or there not. My Note5 was 100% perfect with Android Auto so it's definitely something on the Note7 side.
No issues so far but I also don't use those two programs. Perhaps uninstall and reinstall those two programs in the meanwhile?

HTC 10 user here, and have the same issues as you.
I stabilized the BT connection by deleting the pairing on my radio and phone, then plugging in the USB C cable and allowing the car to autopair them together.
I have Play Music and Amazon Prime Music installed, both supporting Android Auto. However only Play Music shows up for me. This was the case on my S7E as well, but not my Note 5. At this point I suspect it's related to the SD820 and/or devices shipping from the factory with 6.0.1. I've been through factory resets more times than I can count, and the same thing happens.
Apps that are restored (IE - Smart Switch) are not showing up on AA... You can uninstall/reinstall and they will show back up.
I tested this for naught im sure while in the chickfila drive thru....

Oh well, Play Music it is. You can open apps from Recent Apps and Pandora and Slacker play fine through the car when controlled from the phone. But the steering wheel controls don't work. So we can only hope that (in my case) when AT&T pushes an update out in six months it gets fixed. It would be great if the Android Auto app on the phone could be the fix but if the problem's been around since the S7e it's unlikely that alone is the issue.

This is interesting, and I'll have to test this when I get back home tomorrow. From the look of your Hazard button, you have a Sonata like me, and I do restore apps through Google on device setup, or Titanium (app only, no data).

I've got all 3 of these on my phone and all work fine from the start in AA. The only AA issue I've encountered is that when on a call I can't figure out how to get it to show the dialer pad. When on a conf. call I get options like to tap *60 to stop the God awful wait music and to hit # after I announce my name. It's weird. I think it's that AA hasn't had an update in a bit so the dialer from the Note 7 isn't fully recognized. I dunno. But 99% of AA works for me.
BTW. I'm using a Pioneer 8100NEX which I doubt makes a diff as the AA server that the phone app connects to is the same in every car on the market and the head unit itself runs Android 4.4.2 just as my wife's '16 Accord does.

Uninstall Android Auto and delete your Bluetooth pairing. Then make sure Google TTS is set to the default on your phone, if Samsung TTS is trying to interfere, you will have this issue. If you cannot disable Samsung TTS, you may need to use Package Disabler Pro from the Play Store to do it for you. I had to do it on my Note 5, but not the S7 Edge.
Once that is done, reinstall Android Auto and then let the USB connection do the pairing for you.

Hi, i have a problem with Play Music app after AW 2.0 update. On 1.5 i was able to download music to my watch by selecting Play Music from watch and then "Play on wear" which showed all the albums i have on my phone or selecting Play Music from my phone and in the settings there was a Android wear section and there was "manage downloads" but neither is now available on 2.0 :/ So you can't download music to your watch anymore or is it changed and i just can't figure out how to do it now with 2.0? Please, can someone help me?
Btw, all my music are transferred by using PC from my original cd's to my phone so no albums bought from Google Play. Maybe after AW 2.0 update, downloading music to my watch only supports music bought straight from Google Play which would suck
I am very interested in this also since I use the smartwatch to listen to music directly from it with Bluetooth Headphones when I'm at the gym. If it doesn't work I won't be updating it.
Seriously guys, no one else uses Play Music to download some tracks to their Huawei Watch from phone? Why the hell it was changed in AW 2.0 since it worked so well on 1.5?

Yesterday I opened Play Music HW App.
Now it works really close to the one on the smartphone...
It is possible to stream music via wifi or to download music directly from your smartwatch. (wifi or bluetooth).
To download a song, a album or a Playlist you just need to press and hold for 1 second the icon of your selection .. .so the download will start..
I verified that if you are not charging your smartwatch it is possible that the download pauses...
This morning after charge I had the info on my smartwatch that all albums have been downloaded.. and they work without problems
It works differently now. Android Police summarized it:

Hi, searching for a solution I founded 2 options: if you use Google Play Music you have to create an account and suscribe for about 25 dollars/year and it works fine. Another option is to install Wear Media from the Play Store and it works like the old play music, you can download your music to your wacth, it also works fine. Wear Media also have the shuffle option!

Well, that's really stupid :/ I hope Google brings back the sideloading feature with later updates. I'm definitely not gonna subscribe to Play Music! I have over 200 original music cd's that i rip to my PC and then transfer to my smartphones.

Thanks for the tip!
Wear Media is an app you install both on the smartphone and on the watch? Is it free?
Cheers

Hi! Yes its free! Download it to your phone and it installs in your watch. Then in your phone you select what music you transfer to your watch.
At least there are such skilled devs that can fix what mighty Google frakked up..

That app dosent work properly, it transfers a couple of songs and then it stops saying "connection problem".
Is there a proper working alternative, please?
