Hello wonderful people of xda, how are you doin'?
Just a quick question,
Does spotify display the album info and media controls on your note 4 lockscreen? mine doesn't and it's annoying to unlock the phone in order to change the song.. I'm specifically talking about those with stocks roms only. Any help or opiniom about this would be great thanks

My Spotify shows up on lock screen. I use Fingerprint unlock for the screen. I did not change any settings in Spotify for such screen.

Does anyone know if there is a way that the volume can be changed on the SGS i9000 without the screen turning on?
I have checked the settings of both Android and Winamp but found no option.
Also, an Internet search using Google and searching the XDA did not return a result...
I also find this annoying. I use the MIUI player

Thanks for the quick reply and information; I will definitely check that out now.
You would think that this would be a feature included with Android; although, maybe a developper would be able to create a mod with this feature. *hint hint*
Can anyone comment if such a modification would even be possible?
PlayerPro supports volume up/down with the screen off. It also supports skip forward/back with the volume keys, by holding them down. (this behaviour can be turned off and/or reversed with volume as well).
It's the only music app I've found that does this, although I wish it did pause instead.
Cheers
What firmware are you on? I'm on Darky's 9.3 (2.2) and it does this with the default music player.

THANK YOU!!!
I am using the JVB firmware currently and, as you mentioned, the default music player actually does not turn the screen on when changing volume.
Hah! All this time and I never thought to use the default music player. Go figure...
So, seems as though I should send yet another request to Winamp development.
Wish me luck...
Alright, to finish this thread off I thought I would mention that I have been using Winamp since it was released and never looked back; so, my apologies for anyone that may have facepalmed while reading this...
Suprisingly the default music player is not that bad. Actually, I think that I may continue using it instead of Winamp until an equalizer has been implemented and the volume can be changed without causing the screen to turn on. Also, the music player has features in the notification area and Winamp does not.
Either way, thanka again to everyone that helped; it is greatly appreciated.

Voodoo sound seems to allow me to adjust all music apps with screen off.

Hi the problem with the screen that turns on when pressing the volume keys occurs when you have a non stock lockscreen like widgetlocker or winamp lockscreen controls above the stock lockscreen.
I think everyone reproduce this problem in sgs

use player pro and voodo sound (voodoo control plus)
its worked like a charm
I honestly would just use the default samsung music player. It has built in eq's, has lock screen player & has a funky 5.1 button for the hell of it. (although it's debatable if it changes the sound quality for the better or not)

You have helped me to find the root cause. THANK YOU IMMENSELY!!!
The issue is that; although I use the stock lockscreen, it was disabled using the Extended Controls application because I was at work and next to my phone the entire time...
Good catch and thanks again. I owe you a coffee, beer, or something; but, in the meantime, I will click your thanks button. That's just as good, right?!
Is their an apk that runs so I can use NFC tags without having to enter my password every time? I found one that worked with the Galaxy Nexus, but didn't say anything about the Nexus 4
AOKP has the option under Nfc to enable this. Other than that I can't find anything on it. Been searching for a couple days now.
Apk? You mean an app? I believe Tasker can do this (maybe a plugin like Secure Settings is needed to disable the lock screen)

no aokp is a custom firmware
Can anyone who has NFC active whilst locked give me some idea on what extra battery drain is evident (if at all).
Thanks

What app works for the Galaxy Nexus? I've been looking for such an app for a long time.
Is there a mod for NFC to work whilst screen is ON but password not entered?
All I've found is screen off mod - but that seems to get high battery drain.

Finally found a solution that I'm happy with. I used Exposed Installer with NFC Lockscreen Enabler Module and that did the trick. You can even configure it to only work when the screen is on with the password screen being displayed, saves on battery life a lot.

Well there's plenty of apps available in the play store, and most of them come with widgets. Try a few of them, you'll probably like them!

Already had a look , and I am not a fan of them . Not interested in third party apps , I want the stock S4 weather widget back that is why I posted this thread to figure out what has happened to it and get it back .

This happened to me, the weather widget disappeared, i was using new zealands metservice one and was stumpped for days....
So, have you recently moved it to sdcard in the application manager recently as that was what i did and it disappeared, when i moved it back device storage and then the widget was back.
THANK YOU ! you have led me in the right direction , turns out I have disabled the widget in the applications section and have completely forgot about it . Also the weather widget only works with the TouchWiz not the Nova Launcher .

As I remember it comes as a part of the kernel for those devices including LG G2, since there aren't any custom kernels out for these devices yet I highly doubt that's a possibility right now.
you can opt for proximity actions for locking and unlocking, although it would drain your battery a bit.
I'm using Wakeup Touch Nexus which is available in Google Play for free. Dint notice any battery drainage. Very nice app. If anyone got better app can suggest me too...

It's not really "double tap", I use "Gravity Screen" as an alternative to the on/off button

Pretty much every major OEM like Sony, HTC, LG and even Chinese manufacturers like OPPO , Xiaomi etc have implemented double tap to wake on their large screen phones and I really don't know what's stopping Samsung to implement in spite of so many Note generations .
Only way to properly implement this is using a custom kernel for the device
Tap Tap App @ Play Store
Tap Tap App works for me. Galaxy Note 4.
Requires configuration.
Lost functionality, how to get it back?

OK, I've got a VKWorld VK6050S (note the S). This will be a long story, but I feel I must post many details. Otherwise, there will be that smart-*** posting "but you can't do that!!!"
Had the phone for several weeks now. Took a LONG time to set it up and get it running EXACTLY the way I wanted it to. As part of that process, I installed Nova launcher, and an app called "DTSO". Anyway, when it was all set up.... I could double-tap the home screen to lock, and the display would go black. Then, *without using the proximity sensor*, I could double-tap the middle of the BLACK screen, which would cause the display to wake up and display the lock screen. I didn't set a lock on this screen, so I could just swipe up to clear it. Note I could double-tap the BLACK screen to wake it up.
So I was happy with the way everything was set up. Only problem was, it was not stable. Most of the time, if you tried to take a picture, the phone would freeze. (forever). Or sometimes a reboot would take HOURS (starting after the animated vkworld logo displayed) I tried several suggestions. It was not a bad memory card, and it was not corrupted files on a memory card. I tried clearing various caches, etc. Nothing worked. Finally, in desperation...I went to the factory boot menu (chinese, but I found a guide for it) and cleared hardware cache / emmc / whatever. That left me with *** CHINESE LOLLIPOP ***, and all my apps/settings/data were GONE...
(sigh)
So I had to start from figuring out how to switch back to English. And then starting all over again. I wasn't back to "zero". I went back to "minus one". (!!!!)
After many hours setting up the phone again with dozens of applications, getting my account settings input, getting it all configured...
The only thing I can NOT do now is to double-tap the black screen to wake it up. The phone is rock-solid STABLE now, so that is an improvement. But I want it to wake the screen with a double-tap, like it did before!!!
I'm now using "Go" launcher. But I (temporarily) tried "Nova" launcher, like I had it before. DTSO does not work like it used to. It won't wake up the screen while black. Again, this USED TO WORK, so it's not a hardware issue. What did I do wrong? What did I miss in setting this thing up again?
Hey fellow s5 users on xda. Quick question:
Running rooted s5 with latest update (NI2)
I want to use youtube and listen to a song while having the phone sleep. The issue arises when i attempt to lock the screen and put it my pocket, the music pauses.
This forces me to leave the screen on while i put it away. It tends to pocket dial and send/save gibberish text messages.
So long question short how can i keep youtube playing while my screen is off?
Thank you

Bump. Anyone can figure out a solution?
