I can get it to play a song, but it's hit or miss most of the time. Sometimes I say play the song title only and it works, other times I say the artist and song title and it works. Other times in both scenarios it responds incorrectly taking me to the web, or sates it can't start the "instant mix". It's all over the place really, a crap shoot. I'm on 4.4.

Mine won't play music either.....which is the only use I'd have for touchless control. Now touchless control is frozen. No other use for it. Personally. ;)

Mine actually seems to work pretty well most of the time. Maybe the fact that all of my music is uploaded on Google play music helps out?

I could never get it to play what I wanted. So I just made an app via Tasker app factory that will just play whatever I had playing last. I just tell it to "Open App, 'Start Music'" and it will. Not perfect but better than the randomness of what they were doing.

I have the same problem here (Opening a Music Track w/ Touchless Controls)..Is there a work around for this problem? I can really imagine myself using this command being very useful to me, Does somebody know how to fix or make this work?

I made a tasker app to solve this.

I made it how I want it to work anyway. ;)

Install the app. It will be called "Shuffle".

Do your ok Google now or whatever you say to open touchless control.

Say "open shuffle"

The app will be opened. It opens Google music, starts playing music on shuffle mode. Then goes back to your home screen. Then I use Bluetooth to control it...like next track and whatever. Or you can drag down the status bar and control it that way.

Works great for me! Thought I'd share it with those interested.

Of course you don't need tasker, cause it's an app now. But you do need root and have to grant it root permission. Don't know why....tasker just makes it that way it seems.

Enjoy. ;)

Nope...never works for me. Or some others it seems. The tasker app is simple...say "open shuffle". Done, you're music is shuffling. :)

Obviously it doesn't help if you want to listen to something in particular. But in the car I use shuffle...and hit next on my Bluetooth if I want to skip a song.


That's just me. And that's how the app was made. Just thought I'd share it.
