hey what's up guys my name is Mario this video i'm gonna show you how is
able to connect the gear Fit2- with the Spotify app. I didn't just connect it to
the phone, I was able to connect it to the Wi-Fi connection and actually stream
music from the gear fit 2 into the my Bluetooth headset so let's go check it
a couple of you guys have asked me to make this video so I finally got around
it I'm gonna break down this video into three different parts first I'm gonna
talk about the initial set of the things that I did to make sure I was able to
get the gear fit - to work with the Spotify app through the phone and next
I'm gonna talk about how I was able to use the y5 connection to connect take
your feet - to the internet and be able to stream music directly into my
Bluetooth headset without having to use the phone and third I'm gonna talk about
some of the issues that people mentioned they had and some of the things that I
did to go around it so make sure you guys watch until the end of this video
so the first thing that you want to do is you want to make sure that you update
your gear feet too before you install Spotify so for that you go and I go to
your Samsung gear app you're going to open it once you're there you're gonna
go down to about gear from there you're gonna go up there were six of the update
gear software and you're gonna click on download updates so if you have your
latest updates you can it's gonna let you know you'll have a message telling
you if not make sure you install the latest update so once you have all your
updates next you're gonna go to Samsung Galaxy Apps and from there on the top
right hand side you're gonna click on gear and then you click on top and then
we call vo and Spotify will be on the top list so just let it go through the
to the installation process once you have it installed next what you're gonna
do is you're gonna go to your Play Store on your phone and you're gonna install
Spotify so once you have it installed it's now it's gonna be in your gear fit
- and it's gonna be on your phone so make sure you're able to have an account
already login to the phone so it makes the installation easier so one of the
advantages of using remote playback is that if you have your phone connected to
the set of speakers you don't have to pull your phone every time how you want
to control the track you can just do it directly through the watch so now that I
have the app installed in the phone and on the watch I'm gonna be able to
complete control the app through the watch on the phone if you just try to
open Spotify through the watch is gonna tell you that it's not able to connect
because it has been recognized through the phone so what you're gonna do is you
got first open it through the phone it will be the easiest way and then it will
connect directly to the to the gear feet - this was one of the workarounds that I
found and a lot of times if I just try to open it directly to the watch it will
just sit there and will not connect right now as I show you it was able to
directly open it just by clicking on on the app through the watch but a lot of
times you may get this error and you're gonna sit there wondering why it's not
connected always go try open it to the to the phone if it's not opening in
order to use stream on Wi-Fi you're gonna have to have a premium account
with Spotify I tried using it when I had the free trial and if you don't let me I
was able to get a three-month trial for about 99 cents just to test it out so
that's an option for you if you want to do that now I'm going to show you how
you can establish a Wi-Fi connection through the gear fee - so what we do is
we're gonna go to the settings from the settings we're gonna go find connections
in connections we're going to find the y5 the wife I've seen this on and you
just kind of have to make sure you turn it on and you connect it directly from
here it's gonna ask you to find the network just basically the same way you
connect your phone to your home Wi-Fi router you just put your router key or
key connection to be able to establish it once you connect it is going to
automatically connect every time you use it you'd only ask you for the setup the
first time so we already connected to Wi-Fi we're gonna go back to to the app
let's go find Spotify and Spotify we're gonna open it and then we're going to go
to settings in settings we're gonna go find playback on playback you're gonna
see it two different options on this options you can either go remote again
the remote is to connect to the walk to the phone and if you want to stream
directly from you your feet to to your headset you're gonna click on stream on
Wi-Fi will click on stream on Wi-Fi we'll give it a minute and then I'll let
you know that you're now streaming on you watch so basically what this means
is it's no longer connected to the phone it's connected directly to your home
router to the Wi-Fi connection or anywhere you connect to your Wi-Fi and
it's gonna start playing the music directly into your headset so if you
have your you gotta have your Bluetooth wireless
headsets once you connect it directly to your gear fit to you cannot be able to
go to the gym and go anywhere where there's Wi-Fi connection you're gonna be
able to listen to music through Spotify directly some of the solutions for the
issues on what I mentioned may not apply for everybody so just keep it in mind I
was able to test it out with my phone and the watch and I was able to get
around some of the errors that I was getting so hopefully it will help some
of you guys one of the most common issues that I see that people report is
that they're not able to connect star Spotify or as you can see connect to
bluetooth to start listening so you gotta make sure that when use before you
start the app you have to go to your phone and in your phone you got to make
sure you go down to settings and under settings you gotta make sure you have
Bluetooth on so you turn on your Bluetooth and then you gotta make sure
that you search for your gear feet too so as you can see the gear features
there but you have to establish a connection before you connect start
using it once you click on it it's gonna try to connect once it's connected it
will take you to the gear fit to app now we call track from the gear fit to one
more time scroll down to the apps part of five and it's now connected so let's
click on remote as you can see the error is no longer there telling you that it's
not connected to Bluetooth is now just telling you that it's not connected to
the phone and that's something that we will recover you got to make sure you
have the app open on your phone if it has an open or you just gotta give it
some time but the app is now open on on both of the both two devices
now this next very common problem is when people try to open the app let's
say you get to the gym or you just trying to connect to stream on y.5 you
open spot of five and it's gonna tell you and able to start spotify or
connection to bluetooth it's not there this is usually because you watch is not
connected to your Wi-Fi router or if you for example if you get to the gym you
gotta make sure you you are connected so what you do here is we're gonna go to
the settings again once you're in settings we've got to make sure we go to
connections one string connections you know there's a Wi-Fi view soft so you
got to make sure you turn it on and if you go to a new location you got to make
sure you establish the connection the first
so first we turn it on and then it's going to search for the network if you
had already set up this network before it would automatically connect as it
already did but if it's a new in a new location where you have never setup the
connection you have to go through the setup you just basically click on it and
it's gonna ask you for a prompt for the security key and you just follow the
prompts it should be pretty straightforward the same way you connect
your phone to any other Wi-Fi locations when you go out and about now this this
last one is the most popular issue that everybody has is they're not able to
connect to the phone when they open the app you click on spot a five and it
tells you you cannot connect to Spotify now you can see that on my phone and on
my gear feet two is working very well I mean sometimes there's a little bit
delay even if I close the app and I just come back to the watch and I open
Spotify it will tell you can I connect to
Spotify on your phone please open the app to continue so it's basically
telling you to go to your phone and just open the app directly from there
I mean sometimes it can it will open it for me I don't have to go directly to
the phone but that's the first thing you want to do is make sure you find the app
in the phone you open it and it's just automatically
it's just be able to allows you to to connect right away from there
so you'd open up connect a real quick now if this does not work my suggestion
to do is go and install the app from the gear fit to and even do it
a master reset if you can if you don't mind and then go back in and download
the latest update before you install Spotify and you watch make sure you
install the latest update so you can get and then after that go install Spotify
this this actually is work for me when I initially started using this last year I
remember I went ahead and I install Spotify directly to the watch before
downloaded in the latest update and I was having a lot of issues with the app
crashing the app not working it will connect it sometimes but also right now
I'm able to get the give it to to work correctly with Spotify I haven't been
able to find any glitches so I give this a try if you made it this far into this
video listen on the comments below if you're able to get it to work or if you
have any issues with it considers coming to this channel I'm gonna have more
videos coming up on the gear fit too and some of the apps and just keep you
updated on the things that are coming out thank you for watching we should hit
