Music control not working

[MattBlack30]

Just a bit of info: i have a Fitbit Blaze, Samsung Galaxy S4. It all works perfect except music control. I use Bluetooth earphones which work fine.

I just cannot get my head around the problem, theres about a half dozen comibnations of issues each day its different, i finally get it working and replicate my setup the next day and 1 of the problems comes up..

It either:

• Works fine after fiddling.
• allows me to pause/skip tracks, but dosent update the music title as music changes.
• allows me to pause/skip tracks, but the button dosent update, so weather im paused or playing it shows a pause/play button all the time. This comes in both updating and non-updating music variety.
• Wont load the music what so ever stuck in an endless connecting/loading music cycle.
• Happily cycles through the tracks, but wont let me pause/skip music or change volume.
• Wont let me pause/skip/play music or even update track.
• Now i cannot get it to pause or skip tracks, change volume, but it does reckognize when i do it on the phone because the pause/play button changes and it cycles through the track names as i go.

It just makes no sense, now i cannot get my music control working even without the bluetooth earphones in. Usually i can get it sort of working to an acceptable degree (sometimes it all works 100% fine, other times i can control the pause/play at least by doing this), by opening spotify, turning on my BT earphones, playing the music, going to settings, turning BT classic off, turning it back on, going back to the music control and i get some form of control, to a random degree each day.

Now it dosent work at all, it'll tell me what im listening to and thats it. ive turned both devices on and off, paired and unpaired a million times it refuses to let me pause/skip tracks and change volume.

Used to have a pebble, the music control was flawless, getting 100% funcionality on the blaze music control seems a rare gem.

Anyone else had this/these problems?

Thanks Alejandra,

Your soltuions work in that, after fiddling daily i managed to get it working albeit not fully, but there seems to be no permnant solution for it to work with 100% efficieny and without a daily struggle.

Thanks.
