Can't Interact with Lockscreen Widgets - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have no idea why this has happened, but for some reason on my Nexus 7 (do not have this issue on my Galaxy Nexus running CyanogenMod 10.1 Nightlies), when I try to interact with a widget on my lock screen, the widget goes to the background, and the lock turns white highlighted with a box around it (like it wants me to unlock the device first). This pretty much renders my lock screen widgets useless. Does anyone know why this is happening or a setting I need to fix? My Nexus 7 is stock Android 4.2.2.

[Q] Stock Music Player Lock Screen Bug?

My N4 was just updated to 4.2.1, is stock unrooted.
When I have the music player up on the main screen and i lock the screen. The lock screen is glitching and showing a translucent music player coming in and out of existence. It makes it difficult to swipe left or right to access widgets or the camera. But if you manage to start swiping the glitching stops. If i then unlock the phone and hit the home button, the music player sends the controls to the notification bar. Then if i lock the device it doesn't glitch out.
Has anyone else noticed this / can you test it quick? I have to note I am using Klipsch S4A with the Klpisch control app as well. (could it be this is what is causing the issues? I was thinking it might not be optimized for the latest update)
Unfortunately I failed to notice this before the 4.2.1 update so i'm wondering what would cause this glitchyness. It seems to be mostly cosmetic though as it doesnt effect the unlocking of the phone or the music playing ONLY the swiping to the widgets or camera. Very strange.
I've noticed that my music thing doesn't show up on the lock screen half the time but I use double twist so it could be a app update needed for mine

It seems the widgets and the music player are conflicting. The clock randomely shifts from the main lock screen to being just off screen to back again - all the while the music player is glitching through the lock screen from the main screen.
ok it just happened again even though the music player was reduced to the notification's bar. Although this is the first time, I can only reproduce the issue if the music player is maximized on the main screen. I'm going to take screen shots tonight and update.
As you can see there seems to be gltiching between the music player and the camera widget. It happens randomly not just when I have the music player up on the main screen. Is anyone else experiencing this??

Yeah I get this too.
So I hadn't noticed my "play music" app had an update available. Guess what? Problem solved haha...
Sometime the smallest thing you miss makes you feel like the biggest noob lol

I have noticed now that the music player is supposed to replace (or maybe not?) the clock widget on the lock screen so you can control you music. It's only worked properly a couple of times, most of the time it stays in notifications bar or i get the damn glitching again. This has to be a lock screen widget bug.
I haven't found a definite answer yet,
but anybody knows for sure it's a bug for 4.2.1 for stock Music app controls not to show up on lock screen during playback??
I haven't seen any other bugs reported earlier in this thread.
UPDATE: Restarted and it started working..
Yeah sometimes it works properly...seems to be random

Same issue sometimes !
Same thing happens with me too sometimes ! Not quite often ! I usually lock again, and it behaves normal !
This happens on my phone every time I use Google Music. It doesn't crash anything, it just look unattractive when trying to unlock the phone.
hi, i noticed it too. you can force this glitch by 1.) starting a track in gmusic.
then 2.) go to the homescreen and list all recent opened apps an swype gmusic away.
you will notice that the music continues.
3.) now lock your device by pushing the power key an push it one more time to get to te lockscreen.
On the lockscreen there will be the gmusic widget.
4.) tick "next track " on the gmusic lockscreen widget.
Same thing happening to me on my Galaxy Nexus with CyanogenMod 10.1
Not only Google Music but other players too.
Same thing happens on my SGSII on CyanogenMod 10.1
I see it with Pocket Cast podcast app.
It's a bug in the lockscreen widgets - I have it freeze on me every few days
It's a reported bug.

[Q] N4 Cyanogen - Lock Screen Slider + Pattern

Good Day Everyone...
Been running my nexus with cyanogenmod for about 5 months and its running like a charm....Normally my screen is protected by the pattern but Am trying to find a way if there's a tweak where both the slider and the pattern can be set.
I enjoy how the slider operates(the animation) but at the same time I'd want to lock it>> The way I imagine is if i slide it to a particular area then am presented with the pattern;

How to get widgets on pattern lock screen?

I know if you disable any security on the lock screen, you can put widgets on it by swiping left and right. The only problem is, when you enable pattern lock or pin or whatever, you cant get widget on the lock screen anymore.. WTF? I know the stock 4.2.2 can get it because my Nexus 7 is able to do it no problem.
Anyone know any tricks around this?
Thanks!

[Q] Looking for the way to have a completely transparent lock screen with nothing on

I'm on rooted i9500 at the moment, stock android 4.2.2
Looking for a way to completely remove anything on the lock screen (make it transparent), aside the top status bar.
Lock screen can be in 2 modes at the moment. The first one, is with only once widget, and the other is with multiple widgets. And it would be perfectly fine with the single widget lockscreen, if only when I remove the clock widget (or "life partner") widget it didn't come back the next time the screen is locked.
I found a way to make it "kinda" work with multiple widgets, and the blank lockscreen widget:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wordpress.chislonchow.blanklockwidget&hl=en
It's ALMOST perfect, as it still has this f**** annoying plus sign on the side, and the top of the lock screen has this animation effect when I slide it. If I removed those 2 things, my lock screen would be perfect for me as I envisioned it in my head.
Any help (again, just a reminder, I am rooted, also have xposed framwework installed).

My last try I guess, or else I risk of getting a warning from a moderator
Anybody?

Lock screen wallpaper won't change - Nexus 6P

Problem: Cannot change my lock screen wallpaper. It's stuck.
Phone: Nexus 6P, Unlocked (not rooted), Android N (NPD56N)
I'm hoping this is just a bug in the developer build of "N" and will go away when official release is out. Anyone else experiencing this on their phones? Any idea how to correct?
If I knew where the active wallpaper file or code is I'd root and try to get in there and mess with it... but I don't.

Any solution for this? Same thing happened to my 6P last week. Lock screen is different than my wallpaper (which I normally would like!) except the lock screen photo is not centered and is driving me nuts. But I can't change it. Using Nova Launcher, but tried Google Now launcher as well.

Download and use the nexus or pixel launcher to long press and change wallpaper. It will give the choice of home, lock, or both.
