While listening to spotify I can't change, play or pause the song from the lockscreen. Is anyone else experiencing this?
Mine when listening to it on my Google Max and spotify if I change it on lockscreen, it shuts off music to max and says I've started spotify on a different device and then plays off my phone instead. So not same but still an annoying bug
Workaround
I get the same thing when I have the Music FaceWidget enabled. There are a few issues with it and wish it had an option to keep the expanded player open while I have something playing.
Disable the Music FaceWidget and use the Spotify music player on the lockscreen to control the music.
Update:
After updating the Spotify app to v8.5.4.770 - The Music FaceWidget controls are working for me now which is great

i manually click-and-dragged all my music to my music foler and for some reason the google music app only detects about half of my songs; the app double twist does the same. PowerAMP found all my music but all out of order so I dont know what I should try, any suggestions?
Hey guys, I love the feature to long press volume button that is built into AKOP to change tracks however, it does not work with one of the apps I am using called qloud, Qloud basically does the same thing as Google Music (stream music from pc->phone). It has a built in music player and every time I try to use the feature android opens up Google Music and starts playing a song. I think the built in music player is not being recognized as a music player. If I cannot get it to work with that feature I was wondering if there are any apps that could to do the same thing?
Thanks!
It apparently won't work with Google Music or for instance Player Pro (my favorite) either... Should it be working at all?
I use a Kinivo BTC450 bluetooth adapter that allows me to play music (or make phone) calls through my car stereo over BT. It works great. I have three of these...one for each vehicle.
When I get in any of the vehicles and press the big button on the Kinivo, music starts to play automatically through Poweramp. However, once in a while it will try to start playing music through the Amazon mp3 app but the app gives an error and if I press the Kinivo button again, music starts playing through Poweramp.
Now, there isn't a way to set up a default music player (AFAIK) on this phone. I never told Kinivo which app to use. How does it know to use Poweramp? Why doesn't it use the stock music player (which I've used before but don't anymore)? Why does it try to sometimes use the Amazon mp3 app?
I checked under the Application Manager and none of the these apps have anything set under "Launch by default" so I can't clear anything since the "Clear Defaults" button is grayed out.
I do have a small Poweramp widget on my home screen (no lockscreen is in use). Is this what is forcing Poweramp to be the "default". If so, why does Amazon mp3 sometimes try to start?
Thanks.
As a standard behavior, Android (or Samsung) allows a single audio source to be played at the same time. If I am playing music on the stock music player and then open up Pandora, the stock music player will automatically pause.
Is it possible to turn off this behaviour in an un-rooted device? My goal is to play an audiobook on Audible while listening to music in the background.
After 30 min of Googleing, I couldn't find an answer.....
Thanks!
Every now and then when I start playing music using the Play Music app, the artwork will pop up for every song. If I switch to another playlist or radio station the artwork stops popping up entirely and it's just the normal default background . Is this a bug everyone is experiencing or is it just my unit?
Thanks in advance!
