Music control on watch - Samsung Galaxy Watch

Today I received my Galaxy Watch and I'm pretty happy with it. However I cannot control music on my phone with my watch.
I open music app on my watch, press connect to device. It says connecting for some time after which i get a message that it couldn't connect.
I tried with Google Podcasts, TimberX, Youtube Vanced, Shuttle+.
Any ideas?

I don't use TimberX or Shuttle+ but everything I use works fine with the player.
Try reseting the watch, check for updates on the gear and galaxy app. Then open the music app on the watch not the widget.

Resetting didn't help. Watch was updated yesterday, apps are up to date
EDIT:
The interesting part is. It stared showing background images/album covers and changes play pause button depending if I'm playing or not. But im still unable to control the music and I need to connect to the phone. Weird situation

YouTube Preload "Watch Later" Not Working

I have a Sprint Galaxy Nexus running Android 4.1.1 and I have had the Preload "Subscriptions" and Preload "Watch Later" option enabled on my phone when connected to WiFi and charging, but every since the option became available I have never been able to get the "Watch Later" playlist to preload. I find a video I want to watch that's not on my subscriptions, add it to my watch later playlist, and it refuses to preload when I'm charging and on WiFi. The subscription preload works great for me though. So I'm just wondering if this is a common problem, or maybe I am doing something wrong, or if there is some kind of tweak that maybe I'm not aware of.
You need to open the app for it to star loading.
I marked videos as "Watch Later" within the YouTube app
Did you check the watch later tab on your channel?
Yep the videos show up in the watch later tab but refuse to preload
That's very odd as I use the feature all the time. I do remember when I first started using it though it didn't work. I guess you gotta give it time. Also check to see if youtube is using any background data on WiFi.
It should look something like this:

anyone?
There is no benefit to delete and you can't . It's just an indication of the possibility that you can stream to a device.
Shut down your tv and the icon will not show.
If it does show it means there is an other device to what you can share to.

If you disable AllShare, will the icon still show?

The icon is caused by AllShare server.
That's part of the system and runs in the background.
Only when there is no receiving device to stream towards, the icon will be gone.

New Note 3, couple issues

So, I love this phone and hate it at the same time.
First off, just at random, the BT, Wi-Fi or GPS will just turn off. Has not happened for a couple days, nothing has really changed.
Now the big issues. These are driving me nuts....
I have a Pyle PLDN74BTi (don't laugh, it was dirt cheap) and it supports Bluetooth audio and tagging and speakerphone from a BT phone. All the features work except the tagging. I cannot get BT to display the audio info or the phone info.
Second, I just bought an iBolt xProDockX. When I dock it, the phone recognizes its docked, but it will not open the doc app upon dock. I look in the default apps, and the dock isn't even listed. I purchased Car Home Ultra and it wont auto open, I even install the dock&drive app from iBolt and it wont auto open upon docking either.
Anyone else having these stupid issues with their phone? I have cleared all the apps, and I have restarted the phone. No Dice.
You posted this in the S3 forum, not the Note 3... I doubt you will get any help here

Sony Smartwatch 3 not able to communicate back to phone (phone to watch works)

I've been using a SW3 for about a month without anything strange, but since about 2 days ago an issue happen: the watch can still receive notification from phone (email, fb message,...) that comes to phone still shows up on the watch, with watch vibrations,... I can install new watch face apps on the phone and the watch can receive those faces and set them. But I cannot interact with the notifications using the watch. For example, previously I can just choose "Archive" to archive an email directly from watch:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Now when I tap it, it shows
"Open on phone" is also grayed out:
And in the wifi settings, when choosing opening help on phone, it shows
But I have the phone right next to the watch, with all bluetooth and wifi enabled on both. The phone can continue to push notifications to the watch just fine.
I tried resetting the watch (twice), uninstall update for "Google Play Services" on phone and reupdate, clear data for "Android Wear" app on phone and re-pair the watch but nothing works.
Please help!

Question Problem since I updated to One UI 4.0

Hi everyone.
I have a very very annoying problem onj Z Fold 3 since I installed the update with One UI 4.0
Almost all media audio is played on Galaxy Watch 4 instead on the phone: all youtube audio, all voice messages in all messengers and notifications sounds from the phone are being played on the watch.
Watch is NOT listed as an media output device, but does this all by imitating a phone call (?!?) from a number 10000000 (picture shown).
This happens most of the time when I do not see it, and the virtual call remains there until I disconnect it manually, also, drains all the battery of the watch in 5-6 hours.
Please help. I temporarily solved that by disabling all kind of phone calls on the watch, but that is not a solution for me since I need to be able to manage calls on the watch.
Thanks!

Have you done a factory reset on the watch to see if the issue persists?

If nobody appears here with a specific solution, I will have to try that. It's a ***** to go trough config again unless really necessary
