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.
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.

Star it so it gets more attention.
I am looking for a Lockscreen replacement, but I want it to support two things:
1. "iPhone-like" notifcations from all apps (gmail, chompsms++).
2. A widget that shows whatever is playing now with controls.
I really like the stock lock screen, but it does 1. only with it's stock apps. The only apps that keeps a notification on my setup is missed calls. It also has a nice music widget that shows both music from Wimp and Play music when it is playing. It also shows album art from my podcasts when playing in Pocket Casts. However the widget is a little "flakey". It works sometimes and not always.
Ca anyone recommend a lockscreen I can try or a setup that provides my two requests?
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.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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.
I've got an issue with my music apps since I updated my M3 to the new B308 version. No matter what music app i use (spotify, deezer, various music player from the Play Store) the controls (previous, next, play/pause) in the notification bar and on the lock screen don't work. The control bar is showing but taping the buttons doesn't do anything. The only app which buttons work is the default music app. Can you guys help out?
