If you open the “start” menu in the upper bar (while listening to the music) find the lock button and and lock the phone, does it stop playing? It should continue.
I seldom lock the phone, but I’ve just tried to see if it works and right now I’m listening to MP3’s and looking at locked screen… Well, it seems I can not use the volume buttons now it is locked, have to unlock it first… OK, this is inconvenient for me as I listen to the music only at work or at home, but I suppose you want to listen to the music while you are outside.

Actually you can use volume keys while device is locked or screen off. Just use this little app
I found a thing that when you are listening to music with your headphones plugged in and lock the device it gets locked.
But if you play it on the speaker and lock the device then it doesn't.
any solutions to it?
And my devices' volume control works even after i lock the device( only with headphones plugged in) and I didnt even install any extra file. It was pre-built.

Audio controls on lock screen?!

Is there anyway to get the audio controls on the lock screen like the iphone? Play, pause, ff/rw and volume would be good. It's a pain in the backside having to unlock everytime you want to change track!

[Q] Remove music widget on lock screen

Heyyy,
Does anyone know how to remove the music widget off the lock screen? I've tried but I just can't figure it out. It pops up after I put headphones in and when i'm done listening to music even when the headphones are out.
Thanks in advance,

Lock screen music widget?

I noticed that the lock screen music widget does not always appear whenever I play music on speakerphones / headphones. Sometimes it's there sometimes it's not and I am confused as to why this is happening? Is it because of certain headphones?

have you noticed a pattern? So far it doesn't appear when I'm on loudspeaker and on my headphones. If I'm using my cans it works.

I have this problem also. Except here the widget is permanently gone. I used to have it, and it suddenly it does not show anymore. I have tried rebooting the phone a couple of times with no lock. It just will not show anymore.
Anyone found out something?
I think music widget is really bad and looks out of place it needs a simplified look! I have found a way of hiding it constantly
Close music player from slide down menu what ever you call it slide from top of screen.. Have swipe to unlock (no lock code) / allow multiple widgets / then edit lock screen scroll left and the add music player as a widget then disable mutliple widgets. And it will never show up on main lock screen again
Thats my way of getting rid of it because i don't like the look of it so maybe that helps you in some way lol.
I actually like it a lot. I found it. There is a setting for playing music through the dock when docked (what kind of dock? They're all for iPhone...). If this setting is on, the music widget does not appear, even if it is not docked. Switched this setting off, and the widget came back.

Seems like I was a little quick there... It wasn't that after all. After a while the widget failed to show again. After trying a few things I could get it to show whenever I played without any headphones connected and when I plugged in my headset it did not show. But now it doesn't show at all anymore...
I give up on this. I have no clue to what's going on with this feature...

Uninstall 8tracks , works like a charm

Is having the screen unlocked and on on your phone required for AW play music command

I am not sure if this is an issue I'm having or if it's intended, but whenever I tell my watch to play music on my phone, the music will not start until I turn my phone's display on and/or unlock it. Is this intentional?
