I'm using the original LG watch and google music for offline music and podcast playing in the gym/running. I have a moto 360 coming shortly. I was hoping that with the newest update enabling wi-fi, transferring music to the 360 would be done via wi-fi instead of the painfully slow bluetooth. Has anyone had any luck with wear downloads via wi-fi or are we still stuck with bluetooth to push those audio files over to the watch?
Well, Moto360 doesn't have a speaker. How would you listen to a music then ? BT headphones ?
Care to explain this Gym/running thing about listening to music ?
I'm really interested now to have to keep a phone with me all the time.

For about a year google play music has had the option for local storage & playback on wear. If you have downloaded some content for offline playback on the phone your wear is paired with there will be additional options in settings under "Android Wear". There are quite a few articles about it that will walk you through the process.
However the phone will sync music to your wear via bluetooth (which can be slow for large podcasts) and I' curious if anyone using a wifi enabled watch has noticed if the syncing is done via wifi, since it's available with the newest update.
And I was wondering why I need an internal storage on the watch.
I just had it for 2 weeks now, so still figuring it out.
Thanks

I love the phone (got it launch day) puts my Mytouch 3G to shame. I love everything about this phone....... well except for one thing.
I am having a hell of a time with audio playback. 60% of the time i try to play back music on stock music player it tells me that the audio format is not supported on this device. using Winamp wasnt much of a help as it will just cycle through songs and freeze up.
resetting the phone helps sometimes but not everytime.
I also tried removing all the music from my phone and re-copying all the files. still an issue.
I've also noticed it acts up a lot more via bluetooth (i have a pair of rocketdog behind the ear headphones)
I'm stumped...
Any ideas? Anyone else getting this issue?
codec, song encoding comes to mind
also try with different amount of songs
i know on the old SGS if you had more than few hundreds of mp3 or mix format songs in it, it can drive it crazy
so try a couple hundreds, then work your way up, until you find the amount of files it can read before it becomes too much.
all this can be fixed once rooted, and installing better media players
winamp for android sucks by the way
you should try the ICE cream leaked media player from stock android, it's better
Curious why not just stream the music from ur pc?? google music is practically flawless
Seen a user in another thread had to format their card in this phone, then add music. Try that.

I tried this last night. didn't help much. I'm 99.98% sure it has something to do with my bluetooth headphones. Going to buy a new pair and see if it makes a difference...

If you get the sony ericsson mw600, you'll be amazed at their features. I love them and use them all the time and the battery lasts longer than the specs say. I can get 14hrs out of them.
Just picked up a new set of headphones.... does the exact same thing.... odd.... wondering if its just my phone or if this is a glitch...haven't seen anyone else report this.
Pandora and google music work great with my motorola s10-hd headset...

I'll be getting my phone tues. I use sony dr-bt22 bluetooth headphones.... will report back.
I have this problem when steaming music over A2DP through stock Music app or Google Music. All 320kbps fixed rate MP3s. I've tried via my integrated car audio, computer, headphones... all same result when playing local media. Streaming via Rdio works completely fine. Playing local media without A2DP also works fine... Logcat reports some kind of permission related problem...
Weird, I play FLAC or 320s all day long on this thing and no "Format Unsupported" has come up on regular headset/aux cable or BT. I have however, had a problem with the music stopping when I get a notification..the time continues to move but no sound.
Just an update, my stereo BT headphones work fine
Hi guys, I really hope someone can point me out in the right direction here.
I just bought my nexus and I love it, except one small thing.
Each time when I use my phone for streaming music over bluetooth to my car the music plays like a charm but when I turn the the car off the music keeps playing on my nexus and it never stops until I manually close the app.
The app turn off by itself or?
I´m using stock rom btw.
Thanx in advance.
I'm streaming music from google music via BT A2DP regularly in my car and the stock player always stops streaming/playing automatically as soon as the BT connection is lost = I turn off the car.
Suspected that it would work as you experience
Hello,
Just wonder if I am alone on this one. I noticed today that when I stream music on my note3 to my car while being connected to the moto that the must quality dropped. I use Google play all access paid feature. This has never happened before when I didn't have the watch synced.
Has anyone else heard of this? I am going to try to use spotify tonight and see if it was a Google server issues or my signal.
Thank you
Custom rom?
It's possible the music streaming is maxing out the bluetooth and the watch updating itself is just too much, but for a Note 3 it should be no sweat...
I havent noticed any problem like that... you sure your audio quality from the play music itself isnt lower?
same here, no problem..same situation, same quality
Does anyone know how to NOT have Google music on the watch? I took it away from notification on the wear app but it still happens. I don't want to see what is playing or skip to next track on the watch.. For this reason and i'm sure its killing battery lift if I go on a long trip if it updates after each song.
I haven't noticed any problems. Nexus 5, All Access, with my BT speaker and in my Mazda, it works same as before I had the watch.

I notice the audio from my car cuts out or stutters. This is when I have my watch connected to my phone too. I never had this issue prior to the watch.
I'm using a LG G2 running Optimus 1.3.2 rom
On the latest PA Beta 2 Rom on my Nexus 5 and no issues connecting to my HTC Stereo clip. Used with spotify, poweramp, n7 player and other players as well.
I'm having an issue with audio dropping out and being interfered with too. Oneplus One, Moto 360, Audi Bluetooth audio. Very frustrating. Sometimes I can hear the quality level of the music change when it drops out, almost like it's trying different bitrates or codecs to fix the issue.
Least I am not the only one, but mine never actually drops. But I can just tell the quality go down. Like going from 256kb to 128kb..This is even music that loaded on my phone, Not spotify or Pandora.
Are you using ART or Dalvik runtime? This was happening to me after switching to Dalvik. Switching back to Dalvik solved it.
I noticed the audio quality drop as well on my HTC One m7, stock rooted. I first noticed it dropped slightly after getting a bluetooth obd reader but it wasn't enough to really worry about. Then, after getting my moto 360, the quality dropped even more to the point I had to stop using bluetooth for streaming music and use an auxiliary cable instead. So, it seems it's just using up too much of whatever bluetooth bandwidth is available so the audio quality drops in order to compensate.
I have this problem to, using a LG G3 with ART, I have to disconnect the moto 360 from the phone to have a good audio.
No problems here with my Note 3 connected to my M360 and Ford Sync.
This is a question I keep checking on too. Seems like the common factor for people not having issues drive a Ford, using Ford Sync.
I drive a Toyota [emoji107]
I've switched roms on my Lg G2. Im currently running Liquid Smooth (with ART enableD) and have not had any issues. I am streaming from my Google Music and bluetooth is connected to watch and my car. Cutting out and stutters are gone.
So may be ROM specific?
Small update; connected to a a Pioneer AVH- 200BT and the watch with no issues.
I'm having the same problem. My Moto 360 is constantly connected to my stock Moto x (original). When I stream audio over bluetooth from my phone to my car radio, the phone and radio randomly lose their connection to each other. Sometimes they appear to be paired and my phone says that it's playing, but no audio is coming out of the radio, so I have to cycle the phone's bluetooth off & on again to get audio working again.
Edit: I just found a thread on Motorola's official forum for the 360. Matt, the forums manager, thinks that the bluetooth capacity of the phone is being overloaded.
No issues with my note 2 connected to watch and my Hyundai car audio

After some more testing I still have the same issue, Works perfect with watch disconnected. There isn't some kind of widget or toggle that can discount/reconnect only the watch is there? without going to the wear app.
But I did find this, it has something with the music controls on the watch. I was uninstalling Spotify and reinstalling it. Before the watch was synced knowing I have the spotify app, I was able to use the app and play perfect audio. Of course this doesn't last long before the watch kicks in. After doing more re-search we CANT disable the controls on the watch no matter what. Least with the current version we are on, Hopefully that will change.
I recently buy a moto 360 and update it to 4.4w.2, so theres a option that says you can save your music in the watch from the google play music app, my cuestion is if you can select the music that you want to transfer?
I have marked the option in the phone, but doesnt transfer the music to my watch, anyone can help me?
I don't think there's an option for that. There's no speaker, so what's the point?

There certainly is an option for it. The watch allows pairing with bluetooth devices. I've successfully paired my watch with a bluetooth speaker and played music to it with my phone being completely off.
OP, I just selected the option to download to wear in the google play music app settings and then you should see the watch say that it's transferring. It works better if you put the watch on the charger right after you enable the option in google play music. The transfer speed is ridiculously slow.
As of now, you cannot select which music you want to transfer. The music that will be transferred is whichever music you have downloaded to your phone in Google play music.
I can't get music to play properly with car player. It stutters 100 percent of the time, calls work. Music works fine on headphones and Bluetooth speakers.
I did network reset, cleared cache. Checked and unchecked media, contacts, etc in Bluetooth settings.
Used other phones to see if car player has issues. It works with other phones.
This seems like a OnePlus issue, even other models in past have been marred by this.
Is there any solution to this.
I'm on latest 10.0.6 oxygen. Music never worked with car player.
What car system and is the car system up to date?

It's an aftermarket media player, there are no firmware updates from manufacturer.
If you search you'll find this issue in a lot of OnePlus phones. I tried all suggested answers, nothing worked.
Could it be Bluetooth version that's causing this... My other Bluetooth devices are bt 4.0 and 5.0... Car player is bt 3.0... Maybe using an external BT adapter is the only way out.

Hi, I've had the same problems myself, but I might found a solution... And it is downloaded music on my phone storage!!!
Yes if I was streaming from YT music as I have premium subscription, most likely I could not listen to anything because I think interferes with the Bluetooth streaming. So I've downloaded a few songs and tried to listen from library on the same app and worked as a charm!
What can I say.. try it and see if works for yourself!
Best of luck!
I stream music all day everyday in my car. I use the play music app to listen to my library. I don't have any issues with stutters. I am also using an after market unit. The other day I did have a problem with my device not playing music when it paired. I got so frustrated since my Bluetooth was pairing with my headphones that I got the manual for the aftermarket unit and found the instructions to reset it. Resetting the unit fixed my problem. Have you tried completely resetting your aftermarket unit?
Sounds like your media player in the car is the issue. With my pioneer head unit I did have to reset it before it would pair and work correctly.
I'll try resetting the HU... Meanwhile I found an aux BT adapter lying around and it's working fine, that'll be my backup option till issue is sorted out.

I've been playing downloaded music already but it Stutters.... Though this thought did cross my mind that streamed music is copyrighted and encryption/codec could causes the issue... But then again it works with headphones...
I'll try some music player app and play from internal storage... Keep you posted
Resetting HU didn't work... Neither did playing downloaded music from internal storage.
I think OnePlus while implementation didn't fully address compatibility issues ... Most car HU are older BT version.
