[Q] Music player on lockscreen - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
if I insert the headphones into the phones jack poweramp automatically starts up and plays music, tho however for a split second I can see the music controls on the lockscreen, however some reason they dissappear right after? Is there some way to get them to stay?
Thanks in advance

Same problem here with an S4 on Vodafone UK. There haven't been any firmware updates so perhaps the Spotify app has been updated, breaking the lock screen controls.
Wipe data for Spotify.
Your synced songs won't be deleted
Oddly enough I noticed it had just started working again today. I hadn't done anything with Spotify so who knows what fixed it.

Sending music on the S4

Is it not possible to send music from the stock music player app anymore? I can't S-beam songs to other devices like I would with the s3. When pressing the menu button on the s3 or long pressing on a song a share button would appear which would let me send music, now I get "share music" which launches group play and just let's you play it on another device... only sharing method is via Bluetooth but I want the functionality back to send music via sbeam with the stock music app as it was a feature I used a lot as all my friends and family have s3's..please let me know if I am wrong. I know I can go through a file manager and send a song like that but I'd prefer to do it from the music app as everything is organized
Bump
Anyone please?
I'm looking for answers for this also. Is there a mod zip to unlock this like the hotspot mod?

I also found this annoying, especially while watching video etc. The only solution I ever found was to mute the sounds, which stopped the alerts interrupting the music or video playback, and as a bonus, you still hear the ringer through the headphones
If you have/use tasker, you can create a policy that detects when your watching films or listening to music and automatically sets the alerts to mute, then sets it back when your done.
But how to mute? I selected mute sounds in configuration and player stopped too.

I just mute it using the mute/vbrate toggle in the quick setting menu and still am able to play music via google play or videos

man if u r using the stock music player
first u open up the music player , play the song and then press the power button on right hand side. it will lock your device and on the lock screen you will get the music player. even if u pause it the song will pause but the music player interface will remain there. i just tried it on my i9500.
try and provide feedback
It don't stay there for me. If I pause a song, fuel up my car. Come back unlock the phone its gone...

Notification sounds with headphone go to speakers

So, for several weeks this was working fine, where if I was using poweramp for instance, my notifications came through my buds. Sometime after I upgraded to the alpha, all sounds got diverted to the speaker (both music and call tone or notification), and then the music comes back. Can anyone state how theirs is working with poweramp? Admins at poweramp suggest it's the phone dictating this in the threads I found. I also found one thread where someone said, they could "fix" this by temporarily using the factory buds... (this is just with poweramp, my stock player works fine)
Extremely annoying...
Also, anyone know what this volume icon (the bottom one) means? I get it in poweramp, but not for the stock player....
The icon is for screen cast

To be more specific: its for everything that goes over the G Cast API, no matter if its just sound casted from a audioplayer or screensharing
Thanks! Can anyone comment on how their notifications are working with poweramp alpha?
