Music Lock Screen

Besides porting the music app from the htc desire to the nexus, is there anyway to get music control on the lock screen of my nexus?
i got so used to it from my iphone that i miss it

I believe Lock 2.0 in the market has music controls and it looks like the iPhone lock screen too.

i think it dose to
it dose i have it and use it every one in a while

Help Music Player Problem (Music Skips)

when listening to my music im sure we all lock the screen so we dont change songs accidentally, but when mine is locked the music has short pauses about every 5-7 seconds like its a cd player skipping. but when i unlock the screen it the whole song plays fine. this happens with the music player and WMP. anybody else have this problem? any advice would be appreciated. thanks

this happens when you have a lockscreen that has the animated arrows enabled. been playing with the lockscreen?

yes i have a different slider, because i wanted the slider at the bottom of the screen. is there other sliders i can try that puts the slider at the bottom of the screen without animated arrows?

the slider itself shouldn't be a problem, its those little arrows either side of it, and yes you should be able to find another one, its a really simple edit to move the slider. there's a lockscreen editing tutorial in my sig, if you fancy an hour or two tinkering with it yourself.

i dont dare to tinker with it myself im clueless when it comes to this stuff, but i decided to try the lockscreen ccb here. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=639163)
now the music stops completely on the locksccreen, did i F something up?

nevermind it fixed itself

hehe things generally do.

[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...

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.

Music Controls in Lock Screen?

Hi.
The stock music player has lockscreen controls accessible without tapping the notification bell, and the album cover appears as the lockscreen background.
However, these features are not available when using other music apps like Spotify and Pandora, which makes skipping a track very annoying since it requires tapping the notification bell. I could care less about the album art in the lockscreen, judt thought I should point it out.
Does anyone know a way to make the spotify or pandora act as the stock music app to get controls in the lock screen? Thanks.

You can wait for future update which should remove the bell as everyone hates it or use another app for locked screen.
The problem with using another locked screen is you end up with two locked screens unless you choose to disable the built-in locked screen.

Lockscreen Music Album Art Cover?

Why doesn't the S8 have album art cover or any type of artist picture? I have tried Spotify and Play Music.
My old WindowsPhone7 device had beautiful animated artist pictures. iPhones just show the default album picture.. S8 doesn't have anything at all? Someone tell me I'm missing something.
Shouldn't be relevant but I'm on T-Mobile USA.

Samsung GS8 does show album artwork on lockscreen. If you touch music player, it even expands into full-screen. I've only tried with Play Music and it works.
You may want to check if Play Music has all permissions for lockscreen interaction.

What do you mean by touch music player? For me touching the song name shows the small picture but it disappears right after I do anything like unlocking the phone or turning screen off.

You can see my attached images in previous post for the reference. After touching song name(first image), lockscreen music player expands (can be seen in 2nd image).

I see. But that thumbnail view doesn't stay after you unlock or turn of screen. Anyway I wouldn't call this full screen.
Looks like I found my first gripe with the S8

Ohh yes! You are right. Thumbnail view disappears after turning off the screen. I'd much rather prefer it to be a default lockscreen view for music.

Come on baby light my fire
I also was wondering why it didn't display any album art. Every other phone does it, LG, Pixel, blah blah. Like why wouldn't you want to see the artwork for the music you're listening to? Makes no sense to me

Add me to the list of people peeved by this.

Add me too...

I prefer it this way. I would rather see my custom background over some album artwork.

Now this is a reason for a root tweak.

I honestly don't understand why is this annoying me THIS much .. I need my album cover to show !!!

anyone figure out a way to get it to display? I miss seeing album artwork on the lock screen like on all my other phones ?

has a solution to this been found?

Does it show full album art work on your lock screen?

Yes it does

Would like to see the return of fullscreen album artwork on the lock screen without having to use an app really, Apple changed iOS11 to a small widget which annoyed me and now after coming back to Samsung that's been changed, I don't understand why...
