Hi All
I have looked everywhere to see if there is anything i may have done but cannot find out how this has happened, it just seems to have disappeared, I use the Samsung Galaxy S4 Music Player app, have been used to changing the track in the lock screen, but lately have noticed that this has disappeared.
I have noticed that in My (Settings / My Device / Lock Screen / Lock Screen Widgets) location, the Favorite Apps or Camera has been grayed out and i am unable to select this to be on or off.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I hope that i am posting this in the right thread, and have tried looking on here to see if anyone else has had the same issue, but either am being stupid or i cannot see it. (Just copied this to the Q&A Section but cannot delete from the General.. )
Thanks for your help in advance.
Regards
on a note of this, I just tried using Deezer and that seems to work okay in the lock screen, has there been an update on the Samsung music app that i am unaware of?

Hi everyone, just had a Google nexus 10 for a couple of days now....first ever tablet PC / Android OS device - pretty experienced with PCs and Window but this is very different!
Getting on fine customising the setup and installing Apps etc, finding the solution most the time I get stuck here or elsewhere on the Interweb but there's a few minor things I just can't sort out.
I'll start with just a couple of questions and keep working on the other 'issues' myself for a while....
1) Music Player
I've added a bunch of MP3 albums to the GN10 - originally the album artwork appeared in screen you could scroll through but in finding my way around the App changed the view to a static tiled view of the album covers - no way can I switch back or between any view options now!
By the way.....stick with the standard music player or other Apps recommended? (would be nice to have a graphic equaliser.......I've set up a nice set of external speakers with Logitech Bluetooth audio adapter)
2) My Library...
My Music.......the icons on the 'Desktop' are just grey squares with the album title etc......surely the album covers/artwork should show?
........that's it for now
Thanks
Andy
Your are talking about the play music app, yes? If so the view you were talking about where you could scroll through is the "recent music" view. The static tiles is the "album" view. The view can be changed in the upper left side of the app next to the app icon. The app does have a built in graphic equalizer which is accessed by touch the menu button (3 dots) in the upper right.
As far as the widget, you may want to try removing the widget and then putting it back. A reboot may help afterwards as well. Hope this answers your questions.
Spot on re the 'recent music' view....thanks - strange that that view is not available for the full music selection :shrug:
Removed and added the Library widget again but no change.........not fussed though as removed again as on second thoughts can't see the need anyway, how often would one of the few albums shown be what you wanted to listen too anyway?.......just hit the Media Player icon...
Something else strange (to me anyway lol).....
The photo gallery has imported all the artwork/album covers from the Music folder ......can't see a setting to change this?
That is strange indeed. Is the music mp3's that are physically stored on the tablet memory?
Yes all on the tablet, fully tagged etc via dBpoweramp

...anyone any ideas?
very nice,its worked fully!
Unfortunately I don't believe there is a way to remove them from the gallery. It is a quirk of android. You will notice that some apps will even create folders in the gallery to store cached images.

Hi folks! I have upgraded my S4 to 4.4.2 KitKat, but when I lock my phone it has the new music controls on lockscreen with the terrible album cover full screen... is there any way to get back the samsung music widget with the fabulous list where you can quickly change track?

I say its "not possible". Unless someone ported from 4.3 and create an apk, or embedded on a ROM
Another vote for this. Not only picking track from the list but also enable/disable shuffle / repeat on lock screen. Hope someone will come up with a port soon!
I've been searching high and low for this, would love to have the exact music controls we had prior to the 4.4.2 update. I have found an alternative, but it involves using the Samsung Music Player (NOT the stock player we are used to). This music player can be accessed through the Samsung Hub, and you can add a specific shortcut to the music player on your home screen by pressing menu in the Samsung Hub app, and selecting shortcuts. I've tried it, but I don't like it - maybe because it doesn't work as fluid/well? It's worth a try, but I've resorted back to the stock music player.
My attempted search ended up applying for lock screens with pins and a bunch of other irrevelant issues. I noticed since I rooted I get a BUNCH of random issues like the rotation breaking and a solution is to add libgnustl_shared.so in a directory and reboot which makes me think this has a stupid simple solution but long story short:
My s4's stock music lock screen widget is missing and everything from its built in sound picker and its regular widget are still there. I've done an Odin restore but that didn't help, its not the launcher and it didnt appear in safe mode either.
Hi Xda fans
I recently Purchased the G900W8 and Ive run into the following issue.
I don't have any music on my phone and there aren't any videos yet either, but still the Music player shortcut controls keep coming up on my lock screen. at random times multiple times a day (without opening the Music player app) the music controls will come up on the lock screen even tho there is nothing to play. When i open my Task Manager/ Active applications tab its all clear and even when i clear my recent apps tab the controls will still be on my lock screen.
The only way i can get rid of the controls on the lock screen is by opening the Music Player app then going and going and clearing the recent apps and forcing the app to close.
Then the Controls will be gone from my lock screen, for about an hour or so.
Thanks for the help in advance.
hey guys, when i lock my screen and the music is playing i don't have my music player in lock screen or any other notification. the only thing that i have is the clock and small weather widget (original samsung).
really don't know how that music bar disappeared and i even can't see my notifications in notif.bar when the screen is locked. don't know if it does matter but few days ago i turned on the app lock in clean master and till then i don't have all this that i mentioned. i restarted my phone (that works sometimes when i have a small bug) and even deleted CM but still nothing. maybe CM doesn't matter to this but still....
thanks for helping.

I think you should check Settings > Sounds & Notifications > Notifications on lock screen. Turn it to Show all content. I use A5 Lollipop 5.0.2.
Sorry for my awful English if you can't understand.
