Sony Walkman and Android Wear

[NathanToohey]

Hello,

I am using a Xperia Z3 with the latest firmware together with a LG G Watch. There is a bug with the Sony Walkman app on the watch when the phone is connected via bluetooth to the watch. If I turn off the bluetooth connection (when I turn off the phone for example) the watch will pop up a Sony Walkman message saying that it can not find any music to play. If I sync a play list to the watch, when I turn off the bluetooth connection the watch launches the Sony Walkman app. 

Thanks,

Nathan

So your watch which isn't a Sony watch launches the Walkman app when not in connection range - Have you spoken to the watch maker?

I asumed that Sony Walkman was designed to work on any Android Wear watch, especially since it automatically installs itself on the watch.

I don't think it's installed - The Android wear app allows you to choose which app to use as default for music

There are two options, one lets you choose which music player to launch on the phone and this works fine when you set it to Walkman. The other is an app that is listed in the watches app collection and lets you play music straight from the watch over bluetooth headsets. Its this app that trys to launch every time I disconnect the watch from the phone.

In any case I just blocked the Walkman notifications on the watch as I don't use it to play music directly from the watch and that basically solves the problem. But if I did want to play music from the watch and not just control the phone's Walkman app it would be annoying to have this notification pop up all the time.
