Call of Duty companion app from the Google Play store on this phone will not let me scroll left and right in the store or looking at stats. The app works fine on my other phones. Any solutions would be appreciated....

Hi one of my favorite features of Google Play is the ability to push from your web browser so that it installs on your phone automatically.
I havent seen it work automatically on my phone yet until I launch the Play Store app and then the app starts downloading.
Is there any way to fix this? It worked perfectly well on my Nexus 4
Hi folks, I'm looking to potentially buy a Sony Smartwatch 3, and my goal is to go for a run where I use Runkeeper and play Google Play Music on the device at the same time, while not having my phone on me. Has anyone tried this? Is this possible with the Sony Smartwatch 3?
Thanks..
Exactly what I do. Well I use ghostracer but you will be able to do exactly what you're saying. I love it. So nice not having to run with my phone anymore.

and how did you select which music you put on the watch, because I only see the option to synch, but I can't select what to download. I want to download only a "running" playlist
hey just unwrapped my SW3 today and joined XDA.
Im currently going through the motions of getting music onto my SW3 for this purpose.
My findings so far are this. there two options.
1. Download and install the Sony walkman APK availabe on Xda...dont have link handy. This was super flakey all day for me today on my HTC one M8 converted to GPE running 5.1. but it now seems to be working and i am currently syncing my first album to SW3. this is taking its sweet time to be honest.
2. Using google play music. Now this isnt as easy as one would hope or imagine. It relies on all your music (personal stuff downloaded from where ever and stored on phone) to be uploaded to Google Play (room for 50000 songs) from a computer.
So today i have been doing this (getting payed at work mind you), copying all music to the computer from phone, then uploading to the google play servers.
Then once all music is uploaded you need to then create a playlist on the google play chrome app with the music you want on your wear. then go into the google play music app on phone, go to settings and hit refresh. this should then show the playlist you created with cloud stored music. Once your in that playlist on your phone, you should see an option to download it. Do so.
Then go to settings again on the phone and enable download to android wear option.
this should technically auto download only this playlist to your SW3...but im yet to test it cause it literally takes forever to upload the music from computer to google play. SW3 needs to be atleast 70% battery first.
Obviously, the walkman route is the much simpler option here. But only readily available to those with a Sony Xperia phone which runs the Walkman app natively.
Hopefully there is some kind of update coming with easier Wear music management.

The method Nedmo illustrates is correct. When you choose the option to sync to Android Wear all of the music you download to your phone will be sync'd to your wear device. I have 2 playlists - Running Pop and Running Rock, because I pin them to be downloaded to my phone and because I chose the option to sync to Wear, both playlists are on my SW3. When I run I simply play or shuffle either of the playlists. I agree I wish there was a way to choose to only sync some of my downloaded music to the Wear device, but its easy enough anyways and there's plenty of room.
I use "Wear Media" in Play store, sync and transfer, least hassle.
The way Wear handles Google Play Music is pretty brutal. I've got almost 50GB of music on my phone (SD card) and no possible way to pick and choose what gets pushed to my SW3. I have to listen to whatever is on my watch at the time when I'm running. It seems like it'll just overwrite oldest upload with newest when you grab more music.
I have been reading about Google play and different issues with Google services. I will be receiving the phone tomorrow. Google voice (for the voice-mail and transcribed messages) and Gmail are the only 2 apps from google I care about. Anyone have Google Voice working ?
If so how did you enable it.
Thanks!!
It works ok with play services uninstalled. It never was totally reliable though. About 60% of the time it works, the rest of my calls just go out through the cell provider directly. Also you have to keep it open either manually or with an app as it closes down after a while. On my last android phone it worked at least 90% and it didn't have to be watched constantly.
If you rely on anything google, I would just forget this phone though. It is nearly 2 weeks since the play services update and no word or update from google. Without constant fiddling, my gmail, hangouts, and play store are always broken.
Depends
Depends on your setup. If you are using Gvoice with hangouts, be prepared to be frustrated! If you are using Gvoice stand alone, it will work after a few tries.
Hangouts:
Had it working fine with play services 7.0.9 and Fire OS 3.6.8. I did the manual update to 4.6.1 and it all went to hell.. I gained a bunch of functionality but because I use Gvoice integrated in Hangouts I am constantly having issues. Issues ranging from play services updating all the time and causing notifications, sync and reply to all not work, making it useless.
If you are using Gvoice stand alone, it took me a few tires to get outgoing calls to route through Gvoice.. Download and install the Gvoice app, set it for the call settings you want. I had to do this a couple times before those settings stuck.
Until the play services are fixed this is going to be frustrating. I don't see an end in sight right now seeing as it has been this long and I see no official talk about it.

Well the problem here will be that play services is causing us a lot of problems since the update. Other than that I can't imagine it being a problem. I don't install the Google voice app anymore since I forward the calls and Hangouts does work to make calls from voice number. I can vouch for that.
I got the phone, was able to get google voice installed (had to remove the store afterwards) But it will only show new messages when I open the app, there are no notification.
Is it possible to get notifications ?
Working !!!
Had to re-associate phone with Google voice and then notifications would pop up
