Just got a Vivosport today and was struggling to get the music player to work. However after finding this forum and post I can get my Vivovport to control Spotify. As above open Spotify and start playing a track. You can then use your Garmin to control the tracks. If I stop playing and provided I do not re-boot my phone Spotify will restart playing when I tap the controls on my garmin. It works but not ideal as it would be better to link it to a specific rather than having to do this each time the phone is rebooted.
It seems like the recent updates broken the music control for Spotify. Can anyone confirm if this is the case? Currently running version 4.10
I managed to fix the problem by deactivating Google music in app settings, it should probably be settings -> apps then look for the Google music app and click on it. There should be a setting to deactivate the app. After that the clock was pausing and changing the track in Spotify instead. I hope this helped!
Does anyone know what else could be the problem?
I have deactivated Google music and wish to control music from Spotify, but my Forerunner 45 is not registering it. I have a Huawei phone and thought that might br a factor in it but the rest of the connectivity is fine.
same here, huawei psmart, can't control spotify phone app with the watch. But, i can connect my watch to the BT speakers and control the music i have sync.
When i try to control the spotify phone app, the watch says that it is not connected (even after disabled google music. I can't disabled completely the huawei music app, and i can't add spotify to default music player)
I'm having an issue with vivosport and huawei mate lite. I tried to change my default music player to Spotify but that's not an option. Even with Spotify playing, if I press the controls on my band it just opens the huawei music player. If you figured it out I'd love to know how!
I use a Samsung so that might have something to do with it. Unfortunately I don't think I can help you but check if there are any other music apps installed and if you can disable the somehow. I think that's all the help I can provide since I've never owned a Huawei phone
